What kind of belief is that can make Chairman Mao make a military order for " The war failed and the war was defeated, and then the war was beaten to Wang Jian'an forty military sticks, and he was demoted to the third level of " ?
In 1948, the Chairman said this half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Chairman Mao has been committed to making efforts for China's liberation all his life, so the Chairman's statement also shows his determination to liberate China.
The battle this year is very fierce. The chairman’s key goal this year is to liberate Jinan .
It is undeniable that Wang Jianan and Xu Shiyou are both capable soldiers, and their combat effectiveness and command ability are extraordinary on the battlefield.
So why did the Chairman tie these two people together?
One day in 1948, Wang Jianan won a great victory on the battlefield. He was very happy and wanted to urgently tell Chairman Mao about the news.
led the team to win the battle, and the chairman was naturally happy. So after seeing Wang Jianan, the two of them spread out maps on the table, preparing to deploy ideas for future battle situations. Although Chairman
was happy, there was still a look of uneasiness on his face. After thinking for a long time, he decided to tell Wang Jianan what he was in his heart.
"Jian'an is good, but there is a more important task to hand over to you next, that is, to capture Jinan."
Hearing this sentence, Jian'an was naturally not afraid. He seemed to have endless strength and patted his chest to assure the Chairman that he would work hard to complete the task.
But what really worried the Chairman was not worried that his strength was not enough to win the battle. What Chairman most worried about was the grudges between him and Xu Shiyou.
Chairman changed his way to Jian'an and said to Jian'an: "Jian'an, I know that you have a great reputation in central Shandong.
Naturally, I also understand Xu Shiyou's ability. Since you two are super strong, I suggest you join forces.
No slap in the face. If Shiyou needs cooperation, then I hope you will help together."
Wang Jian'an is a smart person. After hearing this, he understood what the Chairman's intention is .
After all, there are indeed some unpleasant things between him and Xu Shiyou. If the two of them do not know how to bow their heads and do not know how to unite because of their face, then the final outcome can be imagined.
Chairman Mao is not an unsatisfactory person at ordinary times. Since he knows that there are some contradictions between these two soldiers, why should he closely connect them?
8 is a crucial year, and this year the War of Liberation has come to its most critical moment.
At this critical moment, everyone should have fought in unity with , but unfortunately, Chairman Mao and Lin Biao had different opinions at this time.
Lin Biao has his own idea:
"At present, I think our most important task should be to conquer Changchun. Only in this way can we disconnect from the Kuomintang army."
In this matter, Chairman Mao did not unify his thoughts with him. Chairman believes that at this moment, we should go south to defend the Beining line first, and this move is what we are familiar with closing the door and fighting dogs.
Since Chairman Mao and Lin Biao’s opinions were not consistent, the chairman had no choice. In order for the plan to go smoothly, he specially transferred Wang Jianan and Xu Shiyou to let the two join forces.
I didn’t expect that there were some grudges between these two people. What can I do? , , can’t you stop fighting because of conflicts?
So at this critical moment, the Chairman could only make harsh words, and this led to the beginning scene.
Now, everyone is on the same front now. If this war fails, everyone will be punished, including Chairman Mao himself.
Let’s talk about the reason why the Chairman initially issued the military order. Why did he want to take Jinan urgently?
is a long story. During that period, the significance of the existence of Jinan was very important.
Jinan is particularly important to the Kuomintang. After all, in Shandong, they only have this backer.
The capital of Shandong is Jinan. If this city is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Shandong. Therefore, the city is a crucial existence for both parties.
Not only Chairman Mao, but also Chiang Kai-shek also issued a death order to his soldiers: " Jinan must be defended, and cannot give up ."
There is a capable tiger general under Chiang Kai-shek's command. His name is Wang Yaowu. This person is basically invincible. As long as he is given a tough battle that is difficult to fight and conquer, he can accept the order without blinking and achieve excellent battle situations.
Chiang Kai-shek never relaxed in defending Jinan. After confirming his tiger general , he focused on military preparations. He increased his defense project and sent heavy troops to defend, and no slight disturbance was allowed.
This series of work reveals how much Chiang Kai-shek attaches importance to Jinan . At this time, Chairman Mao also started to take action. The Chairman's purpose is very obvious, that is, to protect Jinan.
When Wang Jianan received the order from the chairman, he rushed to Shandong without stopping. The chairman of personally called Su Yu and directly accepted Xu Shiyou as the commander of the team.
When he learned that the Chairman trusted him so much, he felt very honored, so he hurried to the army.
At the same time, he also knew that the person who wanted to cooperate with him was Wang Jianan, but the battle was urgent at that time, so he no longer cared about his previous grudges.
At that time, he felt that national interests were above everything else, so when Wang Jianan reached his goal, he went out to greet him and held the other party's hand in person without any grudges. He was very enthusiastic, and the grudge between the two people was eliminated.
These two soldiers are extremely powerful. Now they are in a strong alliance, and they have lived up to expectations and have excellent cooperation in the war.
In just 8 days, they captured Jinan City and destroyed 100,000 Chiang Kai-shek's people .
This is not the end. The tiger general Wang Yaowu, under Chiang Kai-shek, and 23 senior generals, were captured alive by him.
Jinan's city was equivalent to a particularly difficult-to-digest hard bone at that time. It has always been a key place for military strategists to compete for .
In modern times, this region is located between two important railways, and its importance is self-evident.
is extremely exciting to win Jinan.
When the war was won, the top leaders of the Kuomintang were dumbfounded. Maybe they did not expect that The Chinese army could take such an important city in such a short time, and avoid their layers of defense.
Because that era was special, not only did the Chinese people pay attention to this war, but some foreign news media workers have also attached great importance to this matter.
After this victory, foreign journalists made such comments: "I really don't dare to underestimate the Communist Army. They are so powerful that they can capture any city north of the Yangtze River ."
is undoubtedly excited, proud and glorious to be able to obtain such evaluation.
Let alone them, Even Chairman Mao may not have thought that the battle would end so quickly .
After receiving the good news, the chairman also asked many times and repeatedly considered it. did not miss any word from the reporter, so he was convinced that Jinan had been liberated.
Chiang Kai-shek couldn't believe that this kind of thing happened to him. He took a plane to Jinan to observe it himself before he believed that this was something really happened.
Many people have this question, why did Chairman Mao think so repeatedly and think twice before making that military order?
probably means that the chairman has no confidence in himself, but has no confidence in the general environment at that time.
At that time, the Kuomintang army had relatively superb combat experience, and their weapons were very abundant.
However, the Chinese army lacks relevant combat experience and does not have enough weapons. If you want to win in this battle, then the chance of winning by relying solely on hard work is very small, so it is a more suitable choice to outsmart in this war.
It must be because of this that the Chairman sent Wang Jianan and Xu Shiyou. The Chairman used his own way to make these two soldiers fall apart, which not only eased the atmosphere in the army, but also made everyone feel that there is hope of victory in this battle .
If the Chairman made a serious military order at the beginning in an unjust manner, the two soldiers might choose to fight alone and cannot actively cooperate, then it is really hard to say whether this battle can be won.
Timeline came to 1952, when Chairman Mao came to Jinan to inspect work. At that time, he said a more intriguing sentence:
"I really didn't expect Jinan Battle to end in such a short time. I think this ending has a greater impact on the two people, one is me, and the other is Chiang Kai-shek."
Looking back and thinking carefully, the main reason why the Jinan Battle was able to win was that was the main reason because Chiang Kai-shek made a wrong judgment and revealed his stupid behavior during command. Therefore, he lost Jinan City so quickly.
Another reason is that the soldiers guarding Jinan City did not hold on to the belief that the city was tightly held, so they turned into cowards and deserters at critical moments.
For example, Wang Yaowu, whom we just mentioned, had already made the worst plan before the war began, , that is, to contact the family and deploy a subsequent escape plan, but unfortunately, he was still doomed.
The victory of this battle not only means the complete liberation of Shandong, but also accumulates a lot of experience for our army. Perhaps Su Yu did not expect that this battle would end so "hurriedly". He may have received the victory end before he scanned the reinforcements of the Kuomintang.
At the beginning, Chairman Mao said:
"If I can't take Jinan, I will kill Xu Shiyou first, and then beat Wang Jian'an's 40th military stick. Of course, I will also accept punishment. I will demote the official to three levels."
In fact, as soon as the chairman finished saying this, everyone who heard it couldn't help laughing. Everyone did not expect that the chairman would say such "harsh" harsh words.
From ancient times to the present, there is indeed no battle that requires such a serious military order, but the reason why the Chairman dares to say this is indeed because Xu Shiyou and Wang Jianan have extraordinary abilities.
Xu Shiyou is a from Shaolin Temple and has a little skill. Later, he was appointed as the commander of the Shandong Military Region. He has some understanding and mastery of the situation in various regions of Shandong.
Choose him as the leader, which is enough to prove that the chairman has the eyes of an eagle.
But this person has some arrogance. If everything is decided by him alone, then he may end up making trouble. Xu Shiyou himself is more impulsive and loves drinking.
If something bad happens in the army because of excessive drinking, it will be against high expectations. Therefore, the Chairman thought of Wang Jianan, who is calm.
Wang Jianan is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration and has a gentle personality. The two of them are both enemies and friends together. This combination is simply complementary.
So Chairman Mao has very keen capture ability , and is a mentor of many talented people.So what kind of grudges and love are there between Xu Shiyou and Wang Jianan?
1963 Zhang Guotao's plan failed to be implemented as expected, and his attempt failed.
Yan also strongly criticized him. There was Xu Shiyou in Zhang Guotao's team. He and other Red Fourth Front Army felt wronged, so he had an idea, which was to set up his own business.
So he had the idea of establishing a base in Sichuan. Originally, Xu Shiyou had discussed the time to run away with Wang Jianan , but Wang Jianan, as the political commissar of the division, felt that this approach was a bit inappropriate, so he reported it to the above.
So the result is conceivable. In the end, Xu Shiyou's plan failed, and the two of them formed a bond, and continued until before the Jinan Battle.
In fact, Chairman Mao has always known the causes and consequences of this matter. He also wants to try to make the two people reconcile with their own methods, but neither of them has achieved their goal well.
Until before the Battle of Jinan, Chairman Mao had a way to kill two birds with one stone, which was to let these two people unite, not only let the two work together, but also enhance communication between the two people, thereby resolving the grudges and hatreds between the two people.
The final result is obvious. After hearing the military order issued by the Chairman, the two decided to to relieve their past grudges .
It is understood that after Wang Jian'an arrived at Xu Shiyou's territory, Xu Shiyou went out to greet him in person, and the two also drank Shandong sorghum wine together.
They are also brothers who share the same joys and sorrows. In the end, the two of them fought together and took Jinan City in just 8 days.
The reason why the people can gain such a stable and happy life is inseparable from these good generals who can win battles, but these good generals also need the training of great leaders.
Perhaps the military order issued by Chairman Mao is not only to motivate himself, but also to act as a peacemaker!
