The news of Gao Gang's suicide was known to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao, who had seen strong winds and waves, remained silent for a long time after learning the news, and did not speak for several days. Compared with the top ten marshals and ten generals who founded the country, many people are not familiar with Gao Gang.
Zhang Zuolin reigns in the Northeast, Gaogang has long been responsible for the recovery and economic construction of the Northeast. Since Gao Gang has long presided over the economic work in the Northeast, Stalin used the name "Zhang Zuolin" to satirize Gao Gang. In the early days of , Gao Gang did not advocate sending troops, but he did three things during the War to Resist US Aid Korea and became a major contributor.
A soldier in the old revolutionary base
Gao Gang was born in 1905 in a small village in Yulin, Shaanxi. At that time, the sparks of the revolution had started. Gao Gang, who was born in a poor rural area, worked very hard since he was a child. He was exposed to many progressive ideas in school to make him a firm revolutionary fighter.
The 17-year-old Gao Gang not only studied hard, but also used his spare time to actively organize student movements. In 1927 Gao Gang became a glorious Communist . After the revolution failed, Gao Gang was not discouraged. He still insisted on the revolutionary path he took. After returning to his hometown, he continued to organize local farmers and progressive youth movements.
It is precisely because of the efforts of Xiang Gaogang, countless people with lofty ideals and the enrichment of revolutionary power,The vast rural areas of northern Shaanxi and Yan'an have become red revolutionary base areas. The spark of a prairie fire, here becomes a torch of thought to illuminate the darkest moment of the Chinese nation.
In 1936, the Anti-Japanese War broke out. At this time, 31-year-old Gao Gang joined the Anti-Japanese Revolution. In 1941, the Northwest Central Bureau established Gao Gang as the secretary, and became the general leader of , an old red revolutionary zone in the northwestern region of . From birth to joining the revolutionary movement, Gao Gang has been sowing his blood in this land of Shaanxi.
Gao Gang was transferred from Yan'an to the northeast after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Gaogang in the northeast shoulders the task of restoring production and opening up another revolutionary base area. It was from this time that Gao Gang gradually had the title of " northeast king ", and Zhang Zuolin was also called "Northeast king" . Of course Gao Gang is for the revolution, Zhang Zuolin is for selfishness, but Gao Gang was indeed very powerful.
to Liaoshen Campaign At the end of , Gao Gang already had four titles: Commander and Political Commissar of the Military Region, Chairman of the Government and Secretary of the Northeast Bureau. Gao Gang became the vice chairman of the country after the founding of New China in 1949.After the outbreak of the Korean War, Gao Gang's reaction surprised everyone.
Gao Gang does not advocate sending troops to aid Korea
After the outbreak of Resisting U.S. Aid Korea, the Party Central Committee had a very in-depth discussion about whether to send troops or not. Gao Gang, who had become the vice chairman of the country, made a very in-depth discussion. Support the Resist US Aid Korea. Since working in the Northeast for many years , Gao Gang is very familiar with the situation in the Northeast. Gao Gang's proposal is not to send troops to North Korea, but suggests that we should concentrate our efforts on the construction of border defense in the Northeast.
At a meeting to discuss whether to send troops to aid North Korea, Gao Gang believed that after a long period of war, sending troops to aid North Korea would definitely increase the country’s economic burden. The new China, which is a waste of time, needs funds everywhere. At the same time, Gao Gang also pointed out that the US military’s equipment is very advanced, and if it rushes to send troops, it is likely to fail.
In fact, Gao Gang’s ideas also represented the ideas of many people at that time. Gao Gang’s opinions were not adopted. Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and Mr. Zhu stood at the height of strategy In the end, it was decided that this battle must be fought.
At that time, the domestic transportation conditions were very backward. The Gaogang was to transport grain from the northeast and use it as a large rear to ensure the supply of frontline soldiers. Although Gao Gang does not advocate resisting U.S. aggression and aid to Korea,However, after the war broke out, Gao Gang did three things and also made great contributions to the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Heroes to Resist US Aid Korea
During the War to Resist US Aid Korea, the Chinese People’s Volunteers wrote magnificent poems, and numerous Chinese heroes like Qiu Shaoyun and Huang Jiguang have been moved by the lake. The tragedy of the Ice Sculpture Company and the Watergate Bridge. Every volunteer is a hero in this battle. Gao Gang is no exception. Because of his outstanding logistical work, Gao Gang also made great contributions to resisting the US and aiding Korea.
Gao Gang had already started logistical preparations before the volunteers went to North Korea. During the Anti-US Aid Korea, more than two million Chinese volunteers went to the Korean battlefield. The security work at the rear must naturally keep up. The first thing Gao Gang did was to build a transportation line.
Only with a smooth transportation line, ammunition, food and grass can be continuously transported to the Korean battlefield. Let the volunteers on the front line have sufficient ammunition. Gaogang was in the northeastern region at that time, and a total of three military station transportation lines were opened. With the transportation lines, the next task was to prepare logistics materials.
At that time, New China was not long established and the economy was not abundant. After years of war, the economies of many regions have been destroyed , but the war has started,Providing sufficient supplies has also become a problem facing Gao Gang. What Gao Gang wanted to solve was ammunition. At that time, China had weak technology and insufficient ammunition. Gao Gang made a special trip to Moscow hoping that the Soviet Union could help .
Many of the ammunition and weapons that the Soviet Union assisted China, most of which were continuously used in the Korean battlefield through the three military station transportation lines established by Gaogang. In addition to ammunition, clothing and food are also important. In the movie "Blood Battle at Changjin Lake", volunteer soldiers ate frozen potatoes, which is impressive.
In order to ensure the supply of frontline fighters, Gao Gang also did a lot of work to better do his own logistics support. Gao Gang even entered the North Korean battlefield three times in spite of his own danger to understand the needs of the volunteers at that time.
At that time, there was one thing that proved the contribution made by high-level logistics work. Chairman Mao sent many important telegrams and instructions to the Korean battlefield at the beginning of the telegram. Write three words: Peng Zhuigao. The telegram was handed over to President Peng and eventually transferred to Gaogang, indicating that Chairman Mao trusted Gaogang at the time.
Gao Gang did not disappoint, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was victorious. Gao Gang led a logistics support team of up to 60,000 people to successfully complete the support work. Although the conditions at the time were very difficult,However, the resistance to US aggression and aid to North Korea not only helped North Korea defeat the multinational coalition forces, but also brought about peace in the decades since China.
