Red Army (later known as the Eighth Route Army and the People's Liberation Army) has given preferential treatment to prisoners in history. This is indeed a fact. This is notorious. Every time an enemy soldier is captured, he will be handed over to the political commissar to carry out ideological education. Those who are willing to join our army will immediately join the army. Those who are unwilling to join our army will immediately release them home. , and also pay 3 yuan of travel expenses. (Note: During the Republic of China, 3 oceans can be roughly understood as RMB 400 to 800 today, and the purchasing power is different in different years of the Republic of China)

We have many history enthusiasts who are puzzled: it’s okay to release the prisoners and go home, why do you still have to pay 3 oceans to pay? Is it that there is too much money to spend? Or is it too kind? Today, Lao Feng will explain the truth behind this matter to you clearly.

Note: The Red Army later evolved into the Eighth Route Army and the People's Liberation Army. Considering simplified Chinese writing, the following is collectively referred to as "our army". I hope readers understand the author's difficulties and do not need to be nitpicking.

Explanation 1: Our army's prisoner policy, except for the early stages of the Red Army's inception, since the Soviet era, basically, does not kill, beat, scold, and search for pockets, treat the wounded and sick, educate the class, stay freely, hold welcome meetings, go to have farewell party, and pay 3 yuan to go home for travel expenses.

Explanation 2: Our army issued 3 big ocean road fees to the prisoners who were released home . It seems to be a loss, but in fact it was a profit, and it was a profit. Why? Because the weapons of the prisoners of are not allowed to be taken away. During the Republic of China period, the price of a rifle was usually between 20 and 30 oceans, and the minimum was about 15 oceans. Moreover, some prisoners handed over the machine gun . The value of a machine gun ranged from a few hundred oceans to one or two thousand oceans. There are also mortar , mountain cannons, etc., which are of higher value, and with grenades, For ammunition, etc., exchanges all the equipment for prisoners with only 3 ocean travel expenses. It is not only cost-effective, but also a sizable . It is like a free trial in a supermarket. It seems that the merchants are at a disadvantage, but in fact, the free trial will attract many customers to buy it. Similarly, Our army sent 3 ocean travel expenses for the ocean travel expenses, bought a reputation, and a brand, which will attract many enemy soldiers to surrender with guns, ammunition and ammunition.

The value of the full body equipment of the Kuomintang soldiers is far more than 3 oceans. Therefore, paying 3 ocean road fees seems to cost money, but it is actually a trick to recruit soldiers and acquire weapons at a low price

Explanation 3: In this world, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem . The problem that cannot be solved with money is the real problem. Behind the three oceans of is the insight into human nature and the great principle of building a country. We are also doing business and being a human being. readers who are considerate may wish to savor it.

Explanation 4: Don’t forget, if does not post these 3 oceans, it will be even more expensive to raise the prisoners. The prisoner camp is actually a heavy financial burden. So, those who are willing to join our army will be incorporated immediately. Those who are unwilling to join our army will leave guns, ammunition and grenades, and send you 3 yuan. Let you go home. You are happy. Our army saves money and buys a Bodhisattva image. Everyone is happy and win-win. In fact, our army has already calculated this economic account. No one can do the business of at a loss, and our army naturally won’t do either.

Explanation 5: After our army sent 3 big ocean road fees to prisoners who were released home, the Kuomintang troops spread ten and ten to hundreds of them. Later, it became Everyone knows . Therefore, Some Kuomintang officers and soldiers secretly carried weapons such as rifles in order to take these 3 big oceans. Some of them came to surrender to our army, and some were captured on the battlefield. More of them weighed the pros and cons of the battle situation and surrendered with guns. There were countless such things, and 3 oceans were among them, playing a very critical role. So our army built itself into a "weapon acquisition station" through 3 oceans. The strategy was very clever. Therefore, our army jokingly called Chiang Kai-shek the transport brigade of our army, and the policy of paying 3 oceans to go home was greatly contributed.

Taiwan’s Kuomintang Party history data records: Our army’s policy of preferential treatment of prisoners has had a huge psychological impact and ideological confusion on the Kuomintang troops, and has disintegrated the will to fight

Explanation 6: took 3 oceans of captive soldiers from our army, and some returned to the Kuomintang troops. became our army's voluntary propagandist . They would say to their comrades: The Communist Army won't kill me, it's delicious and delicious. Let me go home and give me 3 oceans. I have never seen such a force before. Comrades, remember what I said: Next time we fight with the Communist Army, there is no need to work hard. If we fight almost the same, we will surrender and we can get another 3 oceans of . This has spread a lot, and the fighting will of the Kuomintang troops was severely collapsed.

Explanation 7: If we take 3 oceans of prisoners from our army, we may not necessarily return to the Kuomintang troops. Many of them go home directly. Why? Because many people are not voluntarily joining the army, but are captured and tyrants and Rafs come to join the army. In addition, a soldier is captured by our army, released, and then returned to the Kuomintang army, which is often untrusted. The chief of the Kuomintang army often doubts: Have you been instigated? Did you become a spy for the Communist army? Therefore, many Kuomintang prisoners have concerns and dare not return to the team and go home directly. For example: During the Liberation War, the officers and soldiers captured by our army led our army to three oceans and returned to the Yan Xishan army. As a result, Yan Xishan did not trust them and were sent to the "Shensui Army Returning to the Ministry of Cadre Training Group" for "training". After the "training camp", they did not return to the original team, but were organized into a regiment called the "Avenge of Shame and Meritorious Regime". All of them were captured and returned to the team. These officers and soldiers were discriminated against , so later, the people were heartbroken, and more and more officers and soldiers surrendered to our army. There is a senior general named Shi Zebo under Yan Xishan. It is because of this that he is disheartened with Yan Xishan.

Explanation 8: Our army has another consideration for preferential treatment of prisoners, that is, "graft intelligence", let the prisoners eat and drink well, and ask about the situation of the enemy, such as the number of people, deployment of troops, weapon equipment, combat plans and other information. Our army is good to the prisoners, and the prisoners often tell them all, especially with 3 oceans as temptations. Many people answer questions and wish they could tell you all . When you have money to make money, people's performance will be very different.

Explanation 9: Our army distributed 3 ocean travel expenses to the prisoners. This incident had a great impact on the morale of the enemy. We must know that in the war, the enemy's stubborn battle is the bloodiest and most difficult to fight, and it also caused the greatest sacrifice to our army. Therefore, the enemy is willing to surrender, which is the most beneficial to our army. So how can we make the enemy more willing to surrender? The answer is: treats prisoners preferentially and sends 3 oceans home.Our army is doing this to attack the heart. With three oceans, the enemy's "why do we fight" has become a big problem. . On the other hand, if our army massacred and abused prisoners, then the enemy knows that they will die if they surrender. It is better to resist to the end. In that case, this battle will be difficult to fight.

Explanation 10: Thanks to our army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, so in the war, prisoners became the largest source of our army's replenishment of troops . Many times, after the Kuomintang prisoners were treated with preferential treatment by our army, they took several political and ideological education classes (such as complaint class) , they joined our army one after another, and gave a few examples: Founding Major General Xiao Feng recorded in the article "Days and Nights of the Long March": The Third Regiment of the First Division of the Red Army, the First Division, the Third Regiment of the First Division, the First Army, the First Division, and the First Army, to give a few examples: The Founding Major General Xiao Feng recorded in the article "Days and Nights of the Long March": The Red Army, the Third Regiment of the Third Regiment of the First Division, the First Army, the First Division, and the First Army, to give a few examples: The Founding Major General Xiao Feng recorded in the article "Days and Nights of the Long March": The Red Army, the Third Regiment of the Third Regiment of the First Division, the First Army, the First Division, and the Third Regiment of the First Army, the First Army, the First Division, and the Third Regiment of the First Army, the First Army, the First Army, and the Long March, the Long March, and the Third Regiment of the Third Regiment of the First Division, the First Army, the First Army, and the Long March, the Long March, and the Third Regiment of the Third Regiment of the First Division, the First Army, the First Army, and the Long March, the Long March, and the Third Regiment of the Third Regiment of the First Division, the First Army, the First Army, and the Long March, the Long March, and the Third Regiment of the Third Regiment of the First Division, the First Army, the First Army, and the More than 300 enemies were captured in Yuqing County, Guizhou Province. Due to the good preferential policies for prisoners and the inadequate political education, more than 230 of the 300 prisoners participated in the Red Army, and the conversion rate of was as high as 76% . Another example: During the Liberation War, the People's Liberation Army captured more than 3.98 million Kuomintang prisoners. After political education, about 2.8 million people participated in the People's Liberation Army, and the conversion rate of was as high as 70%. Many of these former Kuomintang officers and soldiers who participated in our army at that time performed well in our army, and later made a fortune. For example, General Xu Huizi of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was from the Kuomintang prisoner soldiers.

General Xu Huizi of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, he was a prisoner soldier of the Kuomintang,

Explanation 11: A underlying logic of the policy of preferential prisoners is as follows: ml2 The grassroots soldiers of the enemy are actually not the real enemies of our army. They are just poor people, just tools used by the enemy. On the contrary, they can be transformed into our army. If you do a little work, the grassroots soldiers of the enemy can become my comrades and the enemy's enemy. Therefore, the essence of preferential treatment of prisoners is to preferential treatment of our army itself.

Explanation 12: In addition, preferential treatment policy itself is also a constraint on our army's own officers and soldiers. Even when we are in war, we can still allow grassroots officers and soldiers of our army to implement the preferential treatment policy. This matter itself is a huge test for leading troops . After passing this level, it is considered that has completed a high and thorough control of the army , and this strong control over the grassroots of the army is the basis of strong combat effectiveness.
