Chapter 101 Pre-planning Countermeasures to Prevent Armed Intervention of Imperialism

(May 28, 1949) Peng He, Liu Deng, Chen Raosu, Lin Luo[1]: (1) Recently the imperialist countries have shown some signs of joint intervention in the revolution.For example, the U.S. is negotiating with Britain, France and other 12 congresses to unify its China policy, Qingdao has increased U.S. warships, the ambassadors of various countries staying in Nanjing are preparing to withdraw, Britain has increased its troops in Hong Kong, and the Guangzhou Kuomintang has expressed some joy, etc. See the symbol.Whether it will become a fact of interference in the future cannot be determined at present.But we should plan countermeasures in order to be prepared.

(2) The main aspect of the countermeasures is that our various field armies advance according to the predetermined plan, wipe out the remnants of the Kuomintang, and completely deprive the imperialists of all countries of their lackeys on the Chinese mainland.The second aspect is to strive for economic self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency, and we still have ways to prepare for the blockade at sea.In this respect, it is extremely important to unite the national bourgeoisie and intellectuals on our side.The third aspect is to deploy sufficient troops in North China and East China to prevent the US Navy from cooperating with the Kuomintang Navy and Army to attack and disrupt our rear.

(3) In order to prevent the U.S. imperialists from collaborating with the Kuomintang to attack our rear, in addition to ordering Yang Chengwu Corps[2] and Zhong Chibing Paozong[3] to deploy defenses in Qinhuangdao and Tanggu, the following special deployments were made: A, Yang Dezhi Corps[4] and Ten The Eighth Corps continued to advance in the direction of Fengxiang, preparing to annihilate the main force of Hu and Ma[5] on the Shaanxi-Gansu border after the various corps met.This kind of battle can achieve the goal, and the situation in North China requires it, so Yang Dezhi's corps is going to stay in the Baoji and Fengxiang areas for standby, and at the same time, repair the Luoyang and Baoji railways as soon as possible to facilitate transportation.B. Lin Luoliu's army is located in Henan. It is usually used to suppress bandits, and it is necessary to reinforce North China.C. Chen Raosu marched near Qingdao with a necessary number of artillery attached to an army, and was on standby to capture Qingdao, and then served as the guard of Qingdao.There are already two armies in the Nanjing, Zhenjiang, and Suzhou areas, and three armies in the Zhejiang area, which is very good.There should be seven armies in the Wusong and Shanghai areas, and special attention should be paid to strengthening the fort equipment in the Wusong and Jiangyin areas.The above-mentioned armies, except for those who are responsible for city defense and rural bandit suppression tasks, should be deployed immediately for training.The strength to attack Fujian should not exceed two armies.Except for one part of the Ding and Second Field Army on standby to cross the Ganjiang River and cooperate with the Four Fields to annihilate the Guangxi Clan in the Yuanshui River Basin, the rest will be located in the field for training within six or seven months, and will also help suppress bandits. After two months, Depending on the situation, decide on a course of action.
