On October 24, 1945, Li Da, commander of Taihang Military Region, near Changning Airport in Shanxi, received a notice from Yan'an that a group of important leaders would fly to the airport before noon the next day, asking Li Da to prepare lunch in advance, and these leaders would rush to go after dinner.
, but the notice did not say who these "important leaders" were.
After Li Da accepted the order, he immediately asked the soldiers to make arrangements and specially asked to light a firewood fire at the airport. After everything was arranged, the next day was near noon, I saw an American C47 transport plane slowly flying towards the airport, slowly landing on the runway through the guidance of the firewood on the ground. As soon as the cabin door of
opened, Li Da was immediately shocked when he saw the people in the plane walking out one by one, and he was stunned and his mouth widened.
Why is Li Da so surprised? Who are the people sitting in this plane?
is a long way to go.
decades later, we only know that this flight is definitely Chairman Mao’s biggest “big bet” in his life.
Anti-Japanese War Dilemma after the victory
On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally, and the people across the country were in jubilation. Everyone was busy killing pigs and sheep, setting off firecrackers, and celebrating the celebrations. In addition to the common people, that period was also the busiest time between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
The Communist Party is busy opening The Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China , and the Kuomintang is busy returning to Nanjing.
The Communist Party held a conference in Yan'an, and everyone was busy. Mao Zedong even wrote articles day and night. Not only did he talk about the mountains and rivers of writing from morning to night, he also had to take time to meet the cadres of various war zones, and even had to deal with eating and sleeping.
Even if the cook prepares the dishes, Mao Zedong has no time to eat them, and it will soon become cold; it will be hot again, and it will be cold again; in the end, it can only be poured out. There was no way, so he had to make some fruit and snacks at Mao Zedong's desk. If he was hungry, he would grab a handful and stuff it into his mouth.
At the same time, Mr. Jiang was also very busy, so busy that his mind was swollen, and his blood pressure was high in and his blood pressure was high.
The end of the War of Resistance caught Chiang off guard. The Communist Party blossomed everywhere in the eight years of the War of Resistance, and the base areas became larger and larger. The main force of the National Army was still far away in the southwest of , and across a large number of bases of the Communist Party, why are they still in Nanjing?
In the past few days, Chiang Kai-shek roared and ordered the national army that was still leisurely in the southwest to set off immediately, and ordered the troops close to the Japanese-occupied area to board the American plane and the warship , quickly take over the territory seized by the Japanese, and then confiscate all their equipment!
Old Jiang thought that if you still have the capital to Nanjing, you can take your time and mediate with the CCP to get time. But what he least wants to see is that the Communist Party seizes the Japanese army's equipment first before him, so that it will be a big deal!
While thinking, Lao Jiang greeted Emperor Hirohito's ancestors with "My Niang Xipi". His " Armistice Decree " was promulgated too suddenly, and he did not leave any time to mobilize troops.
Chiang Kai-shek was distraught and ordered Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and Chen Yi, commander of the New Fourth Army, to garrison on the spot, not accept the surrender of the Japanese and puppet troops, and not to pay their weapons, and to put pressure on the US President Truman .
I think it is clear that neither General Manager Zhu nor General Chen would accept such unreasonable orders. The Kuomintang and Communist Party are both anti-Japanese armed forces, which is obviously an open provocation of internal struggle.
Central Committee issued an order: All base areas must vow to defend the fruits of victory in the War of Resistance.
Old Jiang was anxious and began to seek medical treatment in a hurry. He ordered the Japanese and puppet troops who had already put down their weapons to not surrender to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and even promised them that if the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army came to surrender, they could resist.As long as the Japanese and puppet troops do not disarm the CCP, they will be exempted from any heinous crimes they committed before.
What Chiang Kai-shek lacks most now is time. In addition to letting his men and horses get in the war zone quickly, he also has to pretend to follow the public opinion and ask Mao Zedong to come to Chongqing to "discuss the national affairs together" and "to seek a peaceful plan."
This is clearly a trick to hide the sword in his smile. If Mao Zedong agrees to go to Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek can gain some political capital and establish his "glorious image" of peace-loving; if Mao Zedong does not come, he will be labeled as "not loving peace", and then social public opinion will stand on Chiang Kai-shek's side.
No matter what the situation is, Chiang Kai-shek will not suffer any losses. He can use the "peace agreement" negotiated to dispatch troops and prepare for the civil war .
Mao Zedong had long seen through this little thing about Old Jiang. In order not to let this old opponent catch the handle, he decided to "summon to Chongqing."
Even so, whether the Chinese Communist Party cadres who were meeting in Yan'an would have to go to Chongqing to attend this "Hongmen Banquet" was divided into three factions:
The supporters support Mao Zedong and cannot let Chiang Kai-shek catch the handle. At that time, people's words are terrifying, and our party will not explain clearly;
The opposition did not allow Mao Zedong to go, the reason is very simple: What is there to talk about with Chiang Kai-shek? If you want to fight, fight;
The middle school believes that whether you go or not, you must weigh the pros and cons. If you don’t go, you must think about your words and make full preparations if you go.
But Mao Zedong's intention to leave was decided, and he could just use Chongqing negotiations to break Chiang Kai-shek's negative propaganda to the Communist Party. Anyway, neither the Kuomintang nor the Communist Party could avoid this war. Even at the Hongmen Banquet, Mao Zedong decided to make a breakthrough.
Everyone present was impressed by Mao Zedong's courage, but they were still worried about his safety.
Mao Zedong comforted everyone: "We must fully estimate the possibility that Chiang Kai-shek forced me to sign a unit under the city, but the signing is with me. In order to promote negotiations, the CCP can make concessions that do not harm the interests of both sides. If these are not possible, then the unit under the city will not be affiliated, and I will be in the work room."
He also said that he was too busy with meetings these days and was thinking of squatting in Chiang Kai-shek's class room to read a few books.
But before that, Mao Zedong had another very important thing to do.
Mao Zedong's shocking "big bet"
In late August 1945, one day after the end of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Huang Hua, who was responsible for external work in Yan'an, received a notice: On the morning of August 25, an transport aircraft in the United States was to transport a group of central cadres to Changning Airport in Shanxi, and Comrade Huang Hua was invited to serve as the liaison officer for this flight mission.
Huang Hua was one of the few intellectuals in the Communist Party team at that time. He was a legitimate student in the Department of Economics of Yenching University. He could speak fluent English. He actively participated in the patriotic and national salvation movement in the school and even served as the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Student Union of Yenching University.
In Yan'an, Huang Hua is a treasure-like existence. He is Zhu De's political secretary. He has been a translator of Edgar Snow and has strong communication skills. Everyone appreciates this top student.
is a piece of cake for Huang Hua - he always thought so until he arrived at the airport.
But on the day of departure, when Huang Hua arrived at the airport on time and saw the CCP cadres who were about to board the plane, he directly gasped! I realized that this mission was extraordinary!
See more than 20 senior Chinese Communist Party leaders, including Chen Yi, Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping, Lin Biao, Chen Geng, Xiao Jinguang, , Yang Dezhi, Li Tianyou, Chen Xilian, Wang Jinshan, Deng Hua, , Song Shilun , etc., stand together and chat and laugh, each wearing a parachute bag provided by the Americans.
Huang Huaquan understood: More than 20 senior generals of our army must take the same plane to Changning Airport ! If something happens, the sky of the Communist Party will collapse! If an accident occurs, will there still be a chance of winning if it fights with the Kuomintang in the future? What is this doing? Who arranged for them to take the same plane? !
Various complex ideas flashed through Huang Hua's mind one after another, but when he thought about it carefully, it must be Chairman Mao's decision. If he didn't nod, no one would dare to do so.
In order to prevent the Kuomintang from attacking our anti-Japanese base after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the military and civilians of all liberated areas launched a vigorous campaign to defend the base area, but the leaders of the anti-Japanese base areas were holding meetings in Yan'an at this time. Although the left-behind cadres could still deal with the threat, the lack of a leader in a team means that they could not conduct more effective commands, and there was no backbone in many things. The situation in the Northeast War Zone and the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-Hebei-He
After the Japanese surrender, the Northeast became a homeless land, with various hostile forces mixed in structure, many situations were unclear, and people were urgently needed to send people to stabilize the situation; the situation in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area was even more serious, and before Chiang Kai-shek could take action, the troops of Yan Xishan-Hi-Hong Kong-Henan had already extended their claws to the Shangdang Liberated Area.
The most urgent task after the end of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China is to send the senior leaders present to the theaters as quickly as possible to preside over the overall situation, thereby crushing Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy to seize the fruits of the War of Resistance, especially Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping who presided over the overall situation of the Shangdang. If the Communist Party is at a disadvantage before the civil war begins, then the Chongqing negotiations will be difficult to negotiate.
But the Eighth Route Army had no planes or cars, and it took more than 1,000 miles from Yan'an to the nearest war zone. On the road, it not only had to pass through the rapid flow of water and the loess high slopes with rampant wind and sand, but also had to pass through various ravines and ravines with complex terrain. Even if you ride a horse and take a car, you have to rush and rest along the way, and it would not be possible to arrive in two or three months.
The daylily will be cold by then.
Just when Mao Zedong was at a loss, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appeared.
Around August 20, a C47 transport plane of the US military observation team flew from Xi'an to Yan'an.
Many people are not unfamiliar with the US military observation team in Yan'an, but aren't Americans closer to the Kuomintang? Why did an observation team be sent to Yan'an where the Communist Party is located?
It turns out that during World War II , many US pilots often made a forcibly landed in the Communist base areas after bombing Japan's mainland, and received selfless help from the people in the base areas; and those US pilots who were forced to parachute were often rescued and treated by militias in the base areas.
It is these humanitarian behaviors that made the US authorities realize that the description in " Travels to the West" written by Edgar Snow is true. The Communist Party is not as negative as the Kuomintang authorities promote it, so they have the idea of communicating with it.
In 1944, the year before the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, a secretary named Davis from the US Embassy in China, President Chen, Roosevelt , suggested sending observers to Yan'an, which opened the beginning of our party's exchanges with American politicians and military strategists.
After a year of exchanges, the US military observation team and the Chinese Communist Party’s military and civilians have forged a very deep friendship. They are very grateful to the Communist Party for helping US military pilots’ international humanitarian behavior.
Although the top U.S. military leaders are on Chiang Kai-shek's side, members of the U.S. military observation team are still fighting fiercely with the Chinese Communist Party's military and civilians. Especially the observation group leader Bao Ruide , he even believes that "the Communist Party can become an effective ally of the United States" .
Ye Jianying, who was a member of the Central Committee at the time, proposed that he might as well borrow American transport planes to send these more than 20 senior generals to Changning, Shanxi! Liu and Deng could immediately command the troops from Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan to fight Yan Xishan, and other comrades rushed from Changning Airport to Northeast China, North China , which would be much faster!
Changning Airport is a simple airport built by our army on a large open land in Changning Village, Licheng, Shanxi to facilitate the exchanges of US personnel. It serves as a transfer station for them to go from the Kuomintang-occupied area to Yan'an.
No one expected that this airport would play such a critical role in the near future.
Ye Jianying's idea made Mao Zedong, who had always been decisive, he rarely hesitate. Although this was a good idea, he also knew how high the risk of doing so. Flying from Yan'an to Changning, Shaanxi, the airflow in the middle is unstable and it has to pass over the Japanese occupied area. If the plane crashes or is attacked by the anti-aircraft guns that refuse to surrender to the Japanese army, the consequences will be unimaginable!
The plane crash means that all the members are killed, and these more than 20 Chinese Communist Party cadres are the pillars of each base area. If they are unfortunately "blood sprinkled in the sky", then the future struggle with the Kuomintang may have no chance of winning.
But he thought again, how can you not take risks when doing a revolution? If you want to seize the initiative and to surprise Jiang Jiang, you must sometimes take the risky chess! Even the people say "wealth and honor are in danger", let alone the Communists who have risen to revolution.
So Chairman Mao immediately made the decision and agreed to this bold and risky method. At present, there is no more effective than this. Although it is too risky, once it succeeds, the results are immeasurable and may even gain battlefield advantages before the Kuomintang.
I want to come to Mao Zedong, who doesn’t believe in gods and ghosts, so this time he simply let go and “gamble” with God.
This "top secret flight" can be called a unprecedented "big gamble" by Mao Zedong. He "bet" the fate of the Communist Party, the fate of the country, and even his own fate.
Four-hour shocked in the air
When Ye Jianying informed Bao Ruide of the matter of transporting more than 20 cadres by plane, Bao Ruide agreed without thinking, and even did not ask his superiors for instructions.
I have to say that Americans are indeed straightforward and have a little simplicity.
Of course, Ye Jianying did not disclose the level of these commanders, and his tone was very light when he spoke. Moreover, Bao Ruide had never seen these cadres in Yan'an in the past, so he thought this was just an ordinary flight. As the observation team leader, he could make the decision and there was no need to ask his superiors for instructions.
Moreover, the US military observation team and the Chinese Communist Party leaders are so familiar with us Americans. What's wrong with asking them to take a "shift plane"? Before leaving, Huang Hua was actually more worried about the half-new and half-old American C47 transport aircraft. The
aircraft has been in service for a long time at first glance, and the cabin space is very limited. More than 20 people can't stand up straight when they sit in it. The propeller needs to be pushed by manpower before taking off, and even the cabin door is not closed tightly.
Even if the leaders have put on parachutes, they are not 100% safe.
Thinking of this, Huang Hua had to admire Chairman Mao's courage, but he couldn't help but mutter: "Why don't Americans drive a better plane over?"
Then Huang Hua made a request, he wanted to fly to Changning with the leaders. Although the superior agreed, the parachute was not enough.
Huang Hua also waved his hand bravely: "It's okay." Before boarding the plane, someone suggested that everyone take a photo together. Chen Yi joked humorously: "If we fall down, just use this photo to hold a memorial service!"
everyone was amused, but the leaders of the Communist Party are all atheists, and no one thinks it is unlucky.
After a while, a plane carrying more than 20 senior generals of the Communist Party of China and Huang Hua who had no parachutes on his back slowly took off from Yan'an Airport under the terror of everyone. As soon as the
plane left the ground, Ye Jianying's heart hanged, because he came up with this idea. If something happened, how should he explain it to Chairman Mao? Ye Jianying didn't dare to think down, so he could only pray silently: "Marx's spirit in heaven bless... but don't have any trouble... and don't have any trouble..."
The US military plane was bumping all the way, and Huang Hua was sitting among the leaders. His body was trembling involuntarily and his palms were sweating. He looked around and the leaders looked calm and composed, but they must be very nervous. Although there was a parachute on the side of the plane when something happened, no one had skydiving training, and the danger was quite great.
In order to relieve his nervousness, Huang Hua turned his head through the window to see the scenery. He saw the mountains, rivers and rivers in his eyes, and felt a little happy. Chiang Kai-shek probably wouldn't have expected that his American allies would secretly "assist" the Communist Party.
was thinking, the whole plane suddenly rose sharply and the bumps were very strong, and everyone's hearts were hanging again. Huang Hua immediately ran to the cockpit and asked what happened to the US pilot. After a while of conversation, Huang Hua came out to tell the leaders: "Now the plane is passing over the -pub railway, . The Americans said that there may be Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions in this area. In order to avoid accidents, the plane was raised beyond their range." Only then did everyone in
feel at ease.
Huang Hua finally arrived over Changning Airport, Shanxi after more than four hours of thrilling flights.
Taihang Military Region Commander Li Da has been waiting for them at the airport. After the
plane landed steadily, as soon as the cabin door opened, Liu Bocheng was the first to come out, followed by Deng Xiaoping and Lin Biao, followed by Chen Yi and Teng Daiyuan.
Li Da was shocked and before he could speak, Chen Geng, Xiao Jinguang, Yang Dezhi, Deng Hua, Li Tianyou and others also came out one after another.
Even Li Da, who has seen many big scenes, was shocked by the scene in front of him.
let so many senior leaders of our army take the same plane! Which bold guy came up with the idea?
When Li Da learned the whole story, he had to admire Chairman Mao’s talent and strategy, and he was indeed full of courage!
When more than 20 senior generals walked out of the cabin with a smile, they seemed to have a feeling of surviving the disaster. Before these future founding fathers could not help but hug and cheer with the comrades who came to greet them.
Changning, Shanxi Province belonging to the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan War Zone, which belongs to the Liu and Deng army, Deng Xiaoping said humorously: "We are home, please visit us at home and rest."
Li Da hurriedly greeted everyone to have a meal and cut watermelon.
Chen Yi also excitedly took out a deck of playing cards from his body and greeted everyone: "Come on, come on, play while eating!" After
landed, the stone in Huang Hua's heart finally fell to the ground, and he had to fly back alone. Chen Yi joked with him: "Comrade Huang Hua, you take your foreign plane, I'll play my local poker!" The news of the safe arrival of the
plane reached Yan'an, and the stone in Mao Zedong's heart finally fell to the ground. Although he didn't say anything, the past four hours were definitely the most tense moment in the great man's life.
Chairman Mao's "big bet" is like a dangerous plan that Zhuge Liang faces Sima Yi to make empty city plan , which is really a dangerous plan. After
, Mao Zedong was ready to welcome a political stage that truly belonged to him and was destined to be recorded in history - Chongqing Negotiations.
The angry Chiang Kai-shek
During the Chongqing negotiations in September 1945, Chiang Kai-shek's office.
"A bunch of waste!!" Chiang Kai-shek's roar came from the office of
.
When the negotiations in Chongqing were in full swing, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were still arguing over some issues, Chen Cheng , known as the "little chairman", brought Chiang the news that he wanted to be bad:
Communist Party Shanxi Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army main force annihilated more than 35,000 people from Yan Xishan's troops and captured 31,000 people. Shi Zebo, the commander of the 19th Army of Yan Xishan's troops, was captured, Peng Yubin, deputy commander of the 7th Army, died in battle, and Yan Xishan's main force of the Jin army suffered a heavy blow. After this battle, "Yan Laoxi" could no longer launch an effective attack on the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan base areas.
Old Jiang knew that Yan Xishan must have wanted to take advantage of the meeting of senior CCP generals in Yan'an, and their army launched an attack without a leader, but why was it still defeated?
He expected Yan Xishan was not so useless. It seemed that another bright general star must have risen inside the People's Liberation Army.
So he asked Chen Cheng: "Who is the commander of the Communist Army?"
Chen Cheng replied: "It is Liu Bocheng, commander of the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region, and political commissar Deng Xiaoping."
Chiang Kai-shek's face was full of questions: "Aren't they still having a meeting in Yan'an? How could they go to the front line to command the war so soon?"
Chen Cheng replied in annoyedly: "It is said that a US military transport plane sent them away. When he arrived at a simple airport in Changning, Shanxi, there were more than 20 senior CCP generals traveling with him, some of whom were rushing to the northeast by boat. "
"What?! What?!" Chiang Kai-shek was furious. He did not expect that the United States, which he regarded as an ally, was secretly helping the Communist Party transport generals. "Who allowed them to transport the CCP heads by transport planes?! Who gave them the power?!"
Facing Chen Cheng, who was speechless and as depressed as him, Chiang Kai-shek sat on the chair and was stunned.
I don’t know what the Kuomintang calls this battle. In the history of decades later, we call it “ Shangdang Battle ”. The reason why it is recorded in history is because this is the beginning of the great victory of the Communist Party’s Liberation War.
Such a heavy defeat occurred during the Chongqing negotiations, and for Lao Jiang, it was a "slap" in the face.
Chongqing negotiations have entered a critical period. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been confronting each other on some issues until they become tense, and the negotiating table gradually smells of gunpowder.
The Communist Party proposed to serve as the provincial chairman of five liberated areas including Shanxi and Shandong, vice chairman of six provinces including Guangdong and Hubei, and deputy mayors of four special cities including Beiping , Tianjin, Qingdao , and Shanghai; as for the army, the Communist Party proposed to retain 16 armies and 48 divisions.
But the Kuomintang completely negated these two proposals. They only allowed the Communist Party to participate in the government, but officials in office need to be recognized by the Kuomintang.
There is no doubt that the Kuomintang is completely centered on its own interests and does not intend to follow the most basic principle of equality in negotiations. Isn’t this just because there are many soldiers and many generals, sufficient food and supplies, and there are still Americans as their backers to threaten them?
This was already expected. Mao Zedong knew Chiang Kai-shek's ambitions very well.
Chiang Kai-shek was not worried at all. He knew that senior generals of the Communist Party of China were all meeting in Yan'an. With the speed of the Kuomintang's marching and the American transport planes and warships, they could completely seize the initiative.
He was full of thought that the agreement reached in Chongqing was just for others to see. The key was to look at the situation on the battlefield. If you can’t win on the battlefield, it would be useless to talk at the negotiating table. Then you won’t be afraid that the Communist Party will not bow to itself.
Just as Chiang Kai-shek was proud of his wishful thinking, the defeat of the Shangdang Battle instantly dropped his mood to freezing point.
The American "god assist" has caused more than 20 senior Chinese generals to go to various war zones as fast as possible, several months earlier than Chiang Kai-shek had expected. At this time, even if the US military helped the Kuomintang transport troops to fight, it was not too late.
This means that the Kuomintang's advantage in this negotiation no longer exists.
This also means that Mao Zedong is more confident at the negotiating table.
openly builds the plank road and secretly travels to Chen Cang. This was originally a plan that Chiang Kai-shek had planned to deal with Mao Zedong, but Mao Zedong used it with his backhand. As for those little tricks that Lao Jiang secretly did, they were all shameful and could not be vented.
Old Jiang was mute and had no way to say anything about the pain. This is called being smart but being mistaken by being smart.
What surprised Jiang the most was that Mao Zedong actually let more than 20 confidant generals take the same plane. With such a big burden, he was not afraid that the plane would fall suddenly? !
Chiang Kai-shek was a little superstitious, and he felt that God was helping Mao Zedong.
Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek even had the idea of seizing Mao Zedong.
but this is more or less whimsical. During the
negotiations, Mao Zedong met with friends every day and answered reporters' questions, showing the Communist Party's open-minded mind and the purpose of serving the people of to the fullest. When the great man was chatting and laughing, his every move not only made the outside world undefeated the negative propaganda of the Communist Party, but also turned the Chongqing negotiations into a unique event of heroes.
is afraid that even the Kuomintang people would rise up to denounce him, and it would be even hard to explain to the United States and the Soviet Union. You know, when Mao Zedong first arrived in Chongqing, even his own son, Jiang Jingguo, took him to take a photo and sign it.
Chiang Kai-shek never expected that Mao Zedong would have such a big deal, and he was defeated on the battlefield, and he had no advantage on the negotiating table. He could not do anything to him due to public opinion. All his small abacuses were completely broken by the great man, and he lost all the money.
Perhaps from this moment, Chiang Kai-shek began to be scared: Can he beat someone like Mao Zedong?
Get the best and have many helpers, lose the way and have few helpers
The "small work" of Bao Ruide, the leader of the US military observation group, inadvertently made an indelible contribution to the Chinese revolution, making Chiang Kai-shek lose face in Chongqing.
With this, Chairman Mao could award Bao Ruid an International Friendship Award no less than Edgar Snow after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Some people say that it was Chairman Mao’s bold "gamble" that allowed the Communist Party to seize the initiative in the war; some people say that it was Bao Ruide, the leader of the US military observation team, who helped a lot; some people say that it was God blessing the Communist Party and blessing them to take the lead in the future.
The author believes that it is precisely because the Communist Party played a role in the humanitarian help of US military pilots in the War of Resistance Against Japan. It is precisely because of this that the United States sent an observation team to Yan'an, and our army built an airport in Changning, Shaanxi, and later, a US military transport plane flew to Yan'an for exchanges, thus creating conditions for this "shock flight".
This is Mao Zedong's characteristic. He has a very open-minded attitude and broad mind towards cadres and soldiers, people inside and outside the party, friends from home and abroad, and the people.
No matter whether the other party and you have the same political beliefs, no matter whether the other party and you uphold the same concept, you will respect each other and learn from each other, and everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences.
Even if you have God’s protection, it is better to do things by man. If you have the Tao, you will have many helpers, but if you lose the Tao, you will have few helpers.
Mao Zedong was able to conquer the country in the end, but this is not the reason. I'm afraid Jiang will never understand this point of
