In 1951, on the Army Day, the personnel outside the base who could come back returned to the base one after another. Everyone gathered together to celebrate their own festivals.

Li Dawei also made a special trip back to the base after completing the negotiations on the claim, and Wang Xiaoyi, political commissar of the 1st Mixed Division of the Guangdong-Fujian Front Air Force, also returned to the base to transfer supplies. It was also a very pleasant thing for everyone to gather in the small dining room of a canteen, drink wine and chat, and tell what had happened in the past few months.

Wang Xiaoyi recounted the events on the Yuemin front in the past two months, and recounted the fiasco of the Kuomintang's "Thunder Operation." He said: "Now that Chiang is much more honest, he doesn't dare to fly over, and he doesn't dare to leave the protective range of ground artillery fire over Taiwan, even for training, and the warships have become more cautious, and even the supplies to Kinmen have been replaced by civilian ships."

Li Dawei said: "In the end, Taiwan will still have to settle peacefully, but now the Kuomintang still has the slightest illusion about that pool of sea. ”

Liu Jun drank a glass of wine and said: "It is best to solve it peacefully, both sides of the strait are Chinese, why do you have to fight to the death?" ”

"Confused!" Deng Feng looked at Liu Jun and said: "Don't talk about the fact that both sides of the strait are Chinese, a country's will for reunification, there is no question of who is not anyone, 'some classes have won, some classes have been eliminated, this is history, this is the history of civilization for thousands of years.'" How can you say such ignorant words. ”

"But in battle there will be bloodshed and death." Liu Jun said drunken eyes.

"This is how China has come over for thousands of years," Deng Feng said, "that is, the death of the dead, bloodshed, sacrifice, for the long-term livelihood of the Chinese nation, is also the price that must be paid." Taiwan must be liberated, and Taiwan also needs to have a proper name. The state of separation and rule between the two sides of the strait is not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the Chinese nation, still less is it a state that the vast majority of Chinese are willing to see. We are all people who have gone through that period of history, and we all know what Taiwan has been for the past 60 years or so. How bad it has been, and how much China has paid for it. ””

"That's right! I like to hear Brother Deng say, 'Revolution is violence, the violent action of a class to overthrow a class.' Taiwan's cancer is completely a stumbling block to China's rise, and it has played a role that even a hostile country cannot play," Wu Di said angrily: "Taiwan has been safe and sound for more than 60 years. Now that I think about it, my heart is blocked. It is not that China is incapable of resolving the Taiwan issue, it is not that the equipment of the PLA is insufficient, and it is not that those hangers in Taiwan are so good, but that we ourselves have a kind of thinking that restricts our determination and will, and this kind of thinking is the ideological imprisonment of the peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue. The peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue is taken for granted. As a result, the failure of peace talks and the failure of military reunification has resulted in the separation of the mainland and Taiwan by a single water, and China has been in an abnormal state of division for a long time. In this way, what is the responsibility of a big country, and looking at the world, which big country can't even unify its own country? I blush for them when they say it. ”

"Although Lao Wu's words smell a bit of alcohol, there is a certain amount of truth," Li Dawei interjected: "The Taiwan issue has not been resolved in the past 60 years, and there are many reasons for the long delay in making a decision, among which the voices advocating peaceful reunification are stronger than the voices advocating reunification by force." The presence of such voices in China is clearly abnormal. Why can't we fight Taiwan? In particular, when Lee Teng-hui and the [***] gang are shouting about one China, one Taiwan, two Chinas, and de-Sinicization, why don't we take action? To put it bluntly, it's not that the determination and will are not ruthless enough, and the hard hand is not hard enough. This is not the quality of a great power. ”

"That's right! It is not that we do not have enough means of violence, but that we do not have the determination and will to use them. Wu Di drank another glass of wine and said: "In the Mao ZD era, I shouted and fought every day, and at that time, the strength was not enough, and the strength was not enough, and I couldn't reach it, and the means were not enough, so I could only sigh." Later, when the situation changed, when our military strength was sufficient, we were well equipped, we were fully prepared, and we were fully capable of accomplishing the great cause of the motherland's reunification, and we had the determination and courage to use these violent means to liberate Taiwan. ”

"You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are," Liu Jun glanced at Wu Di and said, "Isn't that also to boost the economy wholeheartedly." ”

"Come to President Liu" Wu Di picked up the wine glass and said to Liu Jun: "I will do one with you, the Lord and the faction," said as he tilted his neck and poured another one himself, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, "It is your kind of altar and jar thinking that has lost the fighting spirit and courage of the Chinese, causing many years of sighing across the two sides of the strait." Single-mindedly getting the economy up is just a pretext for inaction, a joke! With Taiwan's containment, how can you wholeheartedly engage in the economy. ”

Li Dawei also accompanied him to drink a cup of wine, ate a bite of steamed osmanthus fish, and said: "There is nothing wrong with peaceful reunification, but peaceful reunification can only be one of the ways to solve Taiwan's problems, and it is by no means the only option; we completely place hope on the Taiwan authorities, and hope that the two political parties in Taiwan will take turns and wait for them to accept one China. This kind of thinking has a considerable market at all levels of society in our later generations, and if we are still bound by this kind of thinking today, Taiwan will never come back. We must come to Taiwan with both hands, and we must be firm with both hands! Peace talks are always guaranteed by the determination and means of strong military reunification in the back," he turned his face to Liu Jun and said: "Mr. Liu, we are old comrades-in-arms, let me tell you, it's okay to talk about your kind of thinking in our base, you don't have a market at all when you leave the base, and now people are talking about a class position, and if there is a class position problem, it is a matter of principle, so it's best that you don't say this, don't even think like this." ”

"Yes, you're right. I, of course, won't go outside to talk about it, I'm just in this house, no outsiders, big.,, everyone drank some wine together. "Liu Jun doesn't usually drink much, but today he is a little drunk. He put his arms around Li Dawei's neck and said: "I said political commissar, I am a staunch [***] member, and I am absolutely consistent with the Party Central Committee." Kill the Kuomintang reactionaries, and the hand will never be weak! Do you believe you? ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they looked at Liu Jun's drunken state.

Wang Xiaoyi looked at everyone's lively conversation and said, "I won't talk about those things in the future." It doesn't make much sense to talk about it now. Now he is the leader of [***], both hands are absolutely hard, and now he also has a heart, with strength, those things that are afraid of wolves and tigers in the past definitely do not exist, and now the two roads are in front of the Kuomintang, it depends on how they choose. Let me tell you that when I returned, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang were all in full swing making active preparations for the liberation of Taiwan. Now the five 10,000-ton freighters that the British gave us are all called the 'Ordnance Group' of our base, and the boys have converted them into fire support ships, and they are all equipped with 40-tube 'Tempest' rocket launchers, which is called a fierce! The 20-barreled rocket launcher was tested on Butterfly Island, and it was so good! The 1st Marine Division and the 10th Corps jointly asked the central authorities for credit for them, and these boys came to the rescue, and this time they simply organized mass production according to the 122-mm 40-barrel rocket launchers of the later generations. Directly on the ship, before I came back, Guangdong and Fujian organized a drill, and they did a good job. Wang Xiao took a sip of wine and said, "The expansion of the airport has also been completed, I think it won't be long before you should also pass." But then it will be fine, and everyone can drink together again. Come! Everyone will do one for us to victoriously liberate Taiwan, defeat Chiang Kai-shek and liberate the whole of China! As he spoke, he tilted his neck and toasted himself.

The victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the return of the Ryukyu Islands, and the settlement of the issue of reparations for the war of aggression against China have enabled China to turn its hand and go all out to resolve the Taiwan issue.

As Wang Xiaoyi said, he is now a [***] leader, and his hands are absolutely hard. Everything is done reasonably, favorably, and sparingly. The time has come to promote peace and reunification by force and to thoroughly resolve the Taiwan issue.

The 1st Marine Division and the 10th Corps were adapting to the new equipment, and the 40 rocket launchers were produced before the war was large-scale because the time of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was too short. This time, 260 40 rocket launchers have been sent to all classes of the 1st Marine Division. In the Yucheng Arsenal, the first batch of 3,000 Type 51 automatic rifles cloned from the rear Type 81 automatic rifle were not bad at all, and each gun was equipped with five 30-round magazines and one 75-round drum. 800 units have been distributed to the leaders and deputy squad leaders and machine gunners of the 1st Marine Division, and the platoon-level equipment of the 1st Marine Division has now reached the level of the PLA in the early 80s and has become a model for the whole army. The rocket artillery battalions that had gone through the battle on Butterfly Island were also all replaced with 122-mm 40-barrel rocket launchers. The 1st Marine Division is now the most powerful first-class main division in the whole army. The PLA's fine traditions, advanced weaponry, arduous training, and relatively high food treatment have greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the 1st Marine Division, and everyone from the division commander to the ordinary soldiers is proud to be a member of the 1st Marine Division, and they will never fail to live up to the title of the PLA's No. 1 Bull Division.

The 10th Corps passed the battle of Butterfly Island, and their self-confidence was also restored. Since it was the main force attacking Taiwan, it was also given priority equipment with advanced weapons. 2,000 40 rocket launchers and 2,000 Type 51 automatic rifles were also equipped to the squad level in the same way as the 1st Marine Division. The 10th Corps also established a regiment of 30 122-mm 20-barrel rocket artillery artillery in each corps. They are also ready for everything, just waiting for an order from the Party Central Committee [***].
