Comrade Jin Yi saw off
In early January 1953, Comrade Jin Yi hosted a farewell party in Xinyizhou. Although there are only more than 200 people, the atmosphere is very warm. Comrade Jin Yi is one of the heads of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. Since his youth, he has been in the revolution with Comrade Kim Il-sung, worked underground in Harbin City and Jiamusi, and participated in the anti-Japanese guerrilla war on the battlefield in Northeast my country. At this time, he also served as the first secretary of the Workers' Party's Ping'an North Road .
Comrade Jin Yi delivered a warm and affectionate speech at the meeting: Today, we can only hold a small farewell party to bid farewell to the 42nd Army. On behalf of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and the leader of the Korean people, Comrade Kim Il-sung, and on behalf of the comrades from more than 30 counties in Hamhung North, Pyeong An North, Shinyiju Road, and the city north of Pyongyang , I will come to see off the 42nd Army. During the Korean War, at the critical moment of the second national destruction, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Chairman Mao Zedong, the great leader of the Chinese people, Premier Zhou Enlai of the Chinese Government, and Commander-in-Chief of the People's Liberation Army Zhu De, sent the best general, General Peng Dehuai, to lead the most outstanding Chinese People's Volunteer Army to North Korea to participate in the war. The US imperialist and its accomplices were beaten from the Yalu River side to the south of the 38th parallel ! (Warm applause) The more than one million American imperialist army and its accomplices were wiped out, and a great victory was achieved! (Warm applause).
American imperialism has exterminated humanely used air storm bombs and bacterial warfare in the central part of the Iron Triangle, and the defensive positions of the 42nd Army were the focus of the enemy's destruction. But with the unity of their officers and soldiers, the military and civilians, and united, the enemy's delusion was finally completely shattered! The coalition forces informed the 42nd Army of the experience of crushing bacterial warfare. Comrade Kim Il-sung instructed that North Korean party, government and military cadres would go to the 42nd Army to study, learn from their defense experiences of the unity of officers and soldiers and the unity of military and civilians, so that the North Korean party, government, military and civilians would be mobilized to jointly smash the bacterial war of US imperialism (long-lasting applause).
He said: What we are sending off today is the 1st Marine Division of the Ace Army, the 7th Division, the 3rd Division of the US, and the 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, which was the first battle in Huangcaoling, and the 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army who went to Zhanling to fight against US imperialism (warm applause). Although their equipment is inferior to the enemy, they are brave in fighting and strong in will, and are heroic troops that will defeat and defend. They fought from the Yalu River to the Luodong River bank, and were the troops chasing the enemy to the farthest in the south. The 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, this heroic unit, was frustrated when the enemy encountered them and retreated and surrendered. Now they have completed their mission and returned home triumphantly. (Warm applause). Under today's conditions, we cannot hold a grand farewell party. We are the heads of 4 roads and more than 30 counties in the north and the representatives of the masses to come to see you off. Once again, I would like to congratulate the people in the court on their great victory. (The endless applause, comrades hug each other)
On behalf of all comrades of the 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, I delivered a speech at the meeting:
Dear Comrade Kim Yi, dear leaders and representatives of more than 30 counties in 4 roads and 30 counties in northern North Korea: On behalf of all comrades of the 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, I would like to express my highest respect and sincere thanks to the heroic Central Committee and Government of the Workers' Party of Korea, Chairman Kim Il-sung, the great leader of the Korean people, and to the heroic Korean people (warm applause).
Dear comrades. The achievements made by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, the 42nd Army, on the Korean battlefield are inseparable from the support of the Korean people. I thank you again (warm applause).
Dear comrades, as we are about to part, Chairman Kim Il-sung appointed Comrade Kim Il-sung to come to see off our army as a representative and said a lot of words to commend our army. All officers and fighters of the 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army must remember the kindness of Chairman Kim Il-sung, the North Korean Government and the People's Army, and the vast majority of the Korean people.
Dear comrades, we are separated now, and I want to solemnly promise you: If the situation requires it, our 42nd Army will definitely come to join the war on the order of Chairman Mao to defend the victory of the Korean War. (Long-lasting applause)
Chinese and North Korean comrades parted and hugged each other.Comrade Jin Yi kissed my cheek again and again and hugged me warmly. He reluctantly sent me to the train, and then they stood at the bridgehead of Yalu River Bridge to wave goodbye to me. Our train began to start slowly, gradually speeding up, and quickly passing through the Yalu River Bridge. From then on, we returned to our motherland and left the Korean battlefield!
briefly stayed in Shenyang
Our army was in Xinyiju and accepted a small farewell party held by Comrade Jin Yi on behalf of the people of the counties and roads in northern Korea, and sent us on the train. I and the military political commissar Guo Chengzhu took the last train and left North Korea. Because I went to carry out the tasks assigned by Chairman Kim Il-sung, I participated in the training class of cadres above the division and above chaired by Deputy Commander-in-Chief Choi Yong-kan of the Korean People's Army, and had a discussion with them about their experience in fighting in North Korea, and used the method of discussing while discussing, and held a discussion for a whole week. After the army's large troops returned to China, they also left political commissar Guo Chengzhu and chief of staff Liao Zhongfu to do the aftermath. Our army has a long combat front in Korea and a wide area. We start on the eastern front, then to the central front, and then to the western front to fortify defense. We must do a good job in the aftermath.
So our group left the Korean battlefield and returned home in the last time.
After Comrade Jin Yi held a farewell party, the cadres and soldiers of the army were reluctant to leave the Korean battlefield and the Korean people. The North Korean military and civilians were reluctant to leave us. Although the armistice negotiations are underway, no results have been achieved. Mr. Peng once said: "At the end of the negotiation, I still have to make a result for the volunteer army ." Our army is defending the Iron Triangle, and the commanders and soldiers are unwilling to leave the front line and go to the Western Front. The cadres and soldiers of the army wrote letters of request for battle, with tens of thousands of copies. We selected more than 100 representative copies and sent them to the volunteer army's deputy political commissar Gan Qiqi. After
, Chen Geng, deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, and Gan Saqi, deputy political commissar, told us when they talked to all the leaders of our army: You are on the front line, we don’t worry. Mr. Peng has visited your defense zone, and some officials in the agency have also visited it. Your mission to defend the front line is well completed so that the enemy cannot chew from the front. According to the information we have obtained, the enemy will land from the flanks and attack us. Now the enemy is promoting his experience of landing from Incheon and Wonsan to launch an offensive from the side. Therefore, we must not be prepared for this attempt by the enemy, so we will transfer your army to the Western Front. You must explain this truth to the cadres and soldiers and understand the importance and difficulty of the Western Front defense mission.
After the Western Front fortification mission was completed, Chairman Mao of the Central Military Commission and the Party Committee of the Volunteer Army decided that our army would return to China. At this time, the troops were still unwilling to leave the Korean battlefield. Everyone agreed that although the war had entered the negotiation stage, the Americans had not signed the agreement yet, and they were still making excuses. When the troops heard that the Volunteer Army Party Committee had ordered our army to return to China, they wrote applications to stay in North Korea to continue fighting. The military party committee had no choice but to make a decision and go to the army to do persuasion. This shows that Chairman Mao decided to "use the rotational combat method of troops in North Korea." Our army has been fighting in North Korea for more than two years, and other brother troops in China need to go to North Korea to participate in the "rotating combat." After persuasion, the troops accepted the task of returning to China.
The troops were led by Deputy Commander Hu to return home, and Political Commissar Guo and I were behind. The schedule is to go to Shenyang first and say goodbye to the leader at Northeast Military Region . When you arrive in Beijing, you must also make a short stay and ask the head of the Central Military Commission for instructions. When the vanguard arrived in Shenyang, they made arrangements for us, found a guesthouse, and prepared a train ticket to Beijing that afternoon.
After we arrived in Shenyang, we called the military command office first and reported that our army was ordered to go down from the northeast. We were going to see the military commander and ask for instructions in person.
Then, Gao Gang, secretary of the Northeast Bureau, commander and political commissar of the Northeast Military Region, and Zhang Mingyuan, third secretary of the Northeast Military , met us.
Political Commissar Guo Chengzhu and I arrived at Gaogang's residence at 9 am, and they were already waiting for us. We salute them, and they shook hands with us one by one with warmth and affection.
Let me first talk, our army was born and grown up in the Northeast and grew up under the leadership of the head of the Northeast Military Region.Most of the members of the army, even the battalion cadres and old soldiers, are from Northeast China. They have a strong relationship with the Northeast, and they are unwilling to leave the Northeast. This is everyone's wish.
Commander Gao Gang said: "I am very familiar with your troops. I saw it grow stronger with my own eyes. I came from Yan'an in 45 years and saw you win a battle in Anton, capturing Anton's pseudo- governor Cao Chengzong, killed Anton's pseudo-police chief, and captured Japanese lieutenant general alive. Comrade Peng Zhen once called this the first battle in the Northeast, and this battle was fought by your troops. The Northeast Bureau held a meeting to analyze this situation. At that time, the Soviet army had solved the problems of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the pseudo-Manchukuo State. But the upper and lower organizations of the pseudo-Manchukuo State were transformed into pseudo-police and public security army. This must be solved. At that time, Comrade Chen Yun and I decided to go to North Manchu , and your troops provided this situation. After
I saw you fighting the puppet Manchukuo State Government, and you suppressed the riots of the remnants of Japanese and puppet forces. I captured 8 lieutenant generals, 16 major generals, more than 170 school officials, and more than 360 lieutenants, and captured thousands of soldiers. This was a great victory. It was a few major victory at that time. I can't remember how many small battles there were! From this, it can be seen that you maintained the glorious tradition of the old Red Army led by Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu. The Northeast Bureau and the Northeast Military Region were willing to keep you in the Northeast, but the Central Military Commission decided that you would go to Guangzhou, which was the final decision of Chairman Mao. "
Commander Gao Gang continued: "The National Defense Forces must listen to the orders of the Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and Chairman Mao, and the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao will go wherever they point. It is good for you to fight in the Northeast, especially to insist on guerrilla wars behind enemy lines. You have made contributions. You The new 6th Army of Chiang Kai-shek , held down , played an important role in the Northeast battlefield. Director Luo Rongheng asked you to stay in the throat of , Liaonan , and asked you to persist there. Your mission was completed very well. "
Commander Gao Gang said again: "You have also fought well after entering the customs. Director Luo Ronghuan and I stayed in Fengtai for two nights. Luo talked to you and gave you great encouragement!
You first responded to the call of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao to return to the Northeast to carry out economic construction. You are the pioneers of , the Northeast Bureau has all been designated as state-owned farms. Your army's direct troops built a farm near Qiqihar . , designated as the farm of the Northeast Public Security Army.
You are also fighting very well in the Korean battlefield! This time you left the Northeast and went to the south, and you may encounter some problems, such as not adapting to the local environment, people in the Northeast miss their hometown, etc. This requires doing a good job of ideological work like during the war. The Northeast Bureau, the Northeast People's Government, the Northeast Military Region and all provinces will arrange the military families equally and ask them to rest assured. You will first talk about my opinions to the cadres and then convey them to the soldiers. This is what I have put forward to you."
After he finished speaking, Secretary Zhang Mingyuan and Deputy Political Commissar and Director of Zhou Zhi both said: "Agree with Secretary Gao Gang's opinion, I hope you will do your work better."
We stood up and salute them, and then shook hands and said goodbye.
