Chapter 60: One Hundred Years of Blood Shame III

On July 7, 1937, the Sino-Chinese military clash at the Lugou Bridge in Beiping, China, opened the prelude to an all-out attack on China. The "77 Incident" is said to be the fourth brigade headed by Hebian Zhengsan as the brigade commander under the jurisdiction of the "Chinese Garrison Army", with about 6,000 people, stationed in Beiping, Tianjin, Tongxian, Shanhaiguan and other places. At this time, the 29th Army of the Central [***] Team stationed in Pingjin. At that time, there were four infantry divisions, the 37th, 38th, 132nd and 143rd, the 9th Cavalry Division and a special service brigade, plus the security forces, with a total strength of about 100,000 people. It is said that the strength of the army is 17:1, and it is said that the 29th Army of the Northwest Army Song Zheyuan has suffered from the big sword. However, 17 broadswords slashed at the head of one devil, and they did not stop the fall of Pingjin.

Since 1840, China has always been a situation of "man is a sword, I am a fish". Even the Second World War.

In the 45 years of the World Anti-Fascist War, a complete victory, and at the Yalta Conference, which distributed the benefits after the war, China, the victorious country that insisted on fighting the war for the longest time, contributed the most efforts, and made the greatest sacrifices, was completely excluded and was not even allowed to participate in the meeting. Moreover, China, as the victorious power, was forced to agree to cut off more than 1,566,500 square kilometers of land (Mongolia) to meet the terms of the deal between the United States and the Soviet Union. In both world wars, China was only a nominal victor, but one victory was more humiliating than the other. Stalin's condition for declaring war and sending troops to the Northeast was that the southern part of Sakhalin Island (once Chinese territory) and the Kuril Islands would be owned by the Soviet Union; The right to use Dalian (commercial port) and Lushun (military port) in China and the right to operate the Zhongchang Railway; Mongolian official reading power. Looting Northeast China is a matter of course. The legitimate rights and interests of China, the victorious country, were traded by the allies of the United States and the Soviet Union in this way, and it is not as good as the defeated countries. Chiang Kai-shek, who represented China, did not even collect the war reparations for the most important thing.

What's wrong with China?

Is it really not good for Chinese?

Can the Chinese really not win in foreign wars?

Where is the Chinese nation, which is called industrious, brave and full of countless war strategies?

In the darkest time in China, the east was red and the sun was rising, and out of a ravine called Shaoshan Chong in Hunan came a young man - Mao Zd, who provoked the great cause of revitalizing the Chinese nation. He took this suffering China on his shoulders, led a group of enthusiastic young people like him, put forward the power from the barrel of a gun, established the first Jinggangshan revolutionary base area, ignited the spark of the workers' and peasants' armed secession, and brought China to the light. He played a role that no one else could replace. Mao ZD Thought is mainly Mao ZD's thought, they represent the collective thinking of that generation of Chinese [***] people, his greatness lies in successfully solving the problems faced by their generation of Chinese [***] people, so that the Chinese people stand up, this is not only the establishment of the People's Republic of China, but also the establishment in the hearts of the Chinese people of "the Chinese nation has the spirit of courageously forging ahead, he will overwhelm all enemies, and will never be subjugated by the enemy" and the Mao ZD spirit of fearless heroism and strong will to fight the enemy to the endThe spirit of Mao ZD is the spirit of the Chinese nation that has been lost for a long time, the spirit of self-improvement, and the spirit of self-improvement, and the spirit of Mao ZD is the spirit of courage that the Chinese nation has responded to in the face of the challenge of the triple crisis of protecting the country, protecting the species, and protecting the religion since 1840.

For more than 100 years, we have been defeated repeatedly, undefeated and defeated. It's our nation that lacks this spirit. The Chinese nation does not have this kind of spirit, whether it is poor or rich. Whether it is strong or weak, it can only be slaughtered by others in this world. It was, it is, it will be

When the agreement of the Yalta Conference was placed on the desk of Mao Zd in the cave of Yan'an, in the face of injustice, Mao Zd was determined to change the fate of China at the mercy of the great powers. He did not hesitate to lose all his base areas, determined to seize the Northeast, he found his comrades [***], Zhou Enlai, Zhu De urgently deployed, and urgently sent the former Northeast Army generals Lu Zhengying, Wan Yi, Zhang Xuesi and others to lead their troops to the Northeast as soon as possible! 30% of the members of the Central Committee, including alternate secretaries Peng Zhen and Chen Yun, were transferred, and their favorite generals were transferred to serve as the supreme military commander. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in all theaters responded positively, and those who went there traveled night and night, non-stop, and those who did not go actively cooperated. Mobilize 100,000 elite soldiers from all walks of life to break into the Kanto. At first, it was under the banner of the People's Self-Defense Army, and later it was called the Mingzhu Coalition Army. Weapons and equipment can be paid as much as they want, and strategic materials can be accounted for as much as they want. Stalin was annoyed by the division of power among the great powers that dared to challenge and defy the Yalta Agreement, and seized the territory of the northeast that belonged to the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union! **The chairman went to Yucheng to negotiate, and he asked [***] to hand over the army to the national political axe to be an official. [***] pointed out-for-tat: The people's armed forces cannot be handed over with a single shot or bullet, and the officials who tie their hands and feet do not do it.

In 49, when the Chinese People's Liberation Army shifted from strategic defense to strategic counteroffensive with the momentum of destruction and decay, and the liberation of the whole of China was within reach, at this decisive moment, Stalin opposed the People's Liberation Army crossing the Yangtze River and strongly advocated that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should divide the river and rule, forming a situation between the north and the south. Ignoring Stalin's opposition, Mao immediately issued an order to march across the country> and admonished the whole party to "chase after the poor with the courage left, and not to sell their names and learn from the overlords" to carry the revolution through to the end.

Two months after the founding of New China, he put down everything in his hands and ran to the Soviet Union in December 49. recovered the right to use Dalian, Lushun and the right to operate the Zhongchang Railway from the Soviet Union; The unequal treaty of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance signed by the Soviet Union with the Nationalist Axe in 1945 was abolished. Safeguarding the sovereignty and dignity of the country, he proposed to Stalin that we should take back Outer Mongolia.

In the 50th year, the Korean War broke out, and the survival of the Chinese nation once again encountered severe existential challenges. In the face of the country, there is a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt. Mao Zd urgently summoned the Chinese People's Liberation Army, a unit with its own characteristics, from vegetable fields, farms, water conservancy sites, and road construction sites, picked up the weapons of World War II, and rushed to the Korean battlefield without looking back, facing the 16-nation coalition led by the United States armed to the teeth. Defeated the world's number one enemy, the United States. The brilliant victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea made the whole world look at China with admiration, and China has since become a world-recognized military power. Politically, this has greatly enhanced the international status of New China. In the socialist camp, China and the Soviet Union truly formed a basically equal brotherly relationship, and the United States had to recognize New China as an equal opponent.

In old China, 4,000 British troops could fight, the Manchu government axe cut land, and the indemnity was less than 20,000, and the Eight-Nation Coalition Army could drive straight into Yanjing, the capital of China, and more than 10,000 troops could allow Zhang Xueliang to lead the 20 Northeast Army to occupy most of China with 600,000 troops. And today, in the new China led by Mao Zd, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army swept thousands of troops on the Korean battlefield. This war became the most high-profile foreign war in China's modern history. A hundred years of shame. It has given China the status of a great power that has never been seen in modern times.

After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China rescued the North Korean regime in crisis. Regardless of the subsequent evolution of the situation on the peninsula, the northeast, the industrial center of our country, has gained an important external security barrier, and the power displayed by our country has also led to the emergence of a better security environment in the surrounding areas. The greatest achievement of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was to create an environment for peacebuilding for decades. It has played out China's great power status. It has played the self-confidence of the Chinese nation. China has won a brilliant military victory in foreign wars that has never been seen in the past century, and has greatly enhanced national self-confidence and cohesion, and the national self-esteem and self-confidence that have been lost in the past 100 years since the Opium War have been restored. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea deservedly became an important psychological support point for the Chinese nation to move toward historical rejuvenation. The Chinese move towards national rejuvenation began from the moment they crossed the Yalu River.

The Korean War was the first time in modern times that the Chinese nation chose not to back down and took the initiative in the face of a major external threat to the country! After the victory of the Chinese People's Volunteers in the counterattack in western Korea, Peng Dehuai, commander of the Chinese People's Volunteers, made a sonorous assertion: "Gone are the days when Western invaders could occupy a country by erecting a few cannons on a coast in the east for hundreds of years." ”
