1987, the new leadership team of the Military Commission was elected, and Deng Xiaoping was also the Chairman of the Military Commission. On the last day of this year, the team of the Military Commission went to Deng Xiaoping's home to pay New Year's greetings. Deng Xiaoping, 83 years old, was full of energy and red face, shook hands with everyone one by one.
Deng Xiaoping smiled and said, today is just a meeting, there is nothing to talk about. The conversation went very easily because there was no need to discuss work issues. Deng Xiaoping suddenly talked about a drama recently played by the General Political Department of , and his expression became more serious.
Deng Xiaoping asked everyone, recently, I heard that there was a drama about the Huaihai Battle. Do you know? Why did a small drama bring so much attention to Deng Xiaoping? Everyone was curious and listened carefully to Deng Xiaoping.
paused for a while, and Deng Xiaoping continued to preach. That drama talked about the history of the Huaihai Battle, said that Chairman Mao had made mistakes in strategic guidance, and said that I sent a telegram to Chairman Mao for the third time, so that Chairman Mao changed his attitude. The meaning of the drama is to belittle Chairman Mao, as if it is promoted by me, which is not in line with the facts.
So that's it. Deng Xiaoping said with certainty that the basic principles of the Huaihai Battle, including the entire three major battles of , were set by Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao was very clever in the strategic and tactical guidance of the entire three major battles. This script is a distortion of history.
The three major battles were of course commanded by Chairman Mao. At that time, Chairman Mao was in charge of Xibaipo and commanded the largest war in the world's smallest command center. Chairman Mao’s military thoughts and military command art have reached the level of perfection. Invincible wherever you are, invincible wherever you are.
Liaoshen Battle is to close the door and fight dogs, Pingjin Battle is to catch turtles in the jar, and the largest Huaihai Battle is divided into three stages. The Central Plains Field Army and East China Field Army cooperate with each other, and ate the elite troops of Chiang Kai-shek bite by bite, creating a war miracle of 600,000 defeating 800,000.
At that time, Deng Xiaoping was the secretary of the General Committee of the Huaihai Campaign, responsible for unified command of the Huaihai Campaign on the front line. Deng Xiaoping said that during the entire Huaihai Campaign, Chairman Mao had not refuted all the suggestions of our General Front Committee.
, and the General Front Committee has always resolutely implemented Chairman Mao’s strategic policy. Especially when the Huaihai Battle was about to win, Chairman Mao suddenly called for a stop and stopped fighting. The whole country is a game of chess, Chairman Mao is to stabilize the Fu Zuoyi Group of North China .
The General Front Committee led by Deng Xiaoping has always followed the rhythm of Chairman Mao and the Central Military Commission. Supreme Command and the generals on the front line have achieved unprecedented consistency and a high level of tacit understanding, and finally achieved a complete victory in the three major battles.
That day, Deng Xiaoping was in great interest and continued to talk. At that time, Chairman Mao praised and trusted us in the Huaihai Front, so this drama was not reflected accurately. The three major battles include the Huaihai Campaign. Chairman Mao had an overall deployment and a telegram. The script cannot be written like this, it does not conform to history, and will definitely have a very bad impact.
Deng Xiaoping finally said that the plan for Crossing the River Battle was completely formulated by our frontline. After sending a telegram, Chairman Mao agreed. All of these were Chairman Mao’s decisions, and they were very correct decisions. Of course, we did a good job at that time.
Public opinion has always been a very important direction. From Chairman Mao to Deng Xiaoping, they all attach great importance to the role of propaganda and public opinion. If a small script does not respect history and writes randomly in society, it will mislead the general public.
The great leader of the then Chairman Mao has passed away for 11 years, but he will always live in the hearts of the Chinese people. But some people distort history and want to belittle Chairman Mao in the drama, which makes people very angry. It is really outrageous.
And Deng Xiaoping was very moved and admired by Deng Xiaoping's ability to objectively evaluate Chairman Mao, objectively evaluate Chairman Mao's wise and correct guidance on the Huaihai Battle, and promptly stop distorting history. Mr. Deng is worthy of being a great man of his generation.
