Chapter 13 Chapter Twelfth Fire Attack

Sun Tzu said: There are five types of fire attacks: one is fire people, the other is fire accumulation, and the third is fire equipment.The fourth is the fire storehouse.The fifth is the fire team.There must be a reason for fire, and fireworks must always be equipped. There is a time for fire, and there is a day for fire.When it is time, the sky is dry; when the sun is on, the moon is in the skip, wall, wing, and arbor; for all these four nights, it is also the day when the wind blows, and any attack by fire must be responded to by the change of the five fires. If the fire is fired inside, it should be sent out early. If the fire is fired but the soldiers are quiet, wait and do not attack; extremely firepower.You can follow it.It can't be stopped here, the fire can be sent out from the outside, and it doesn't wait for the inside, so it can be sent out at the right time.The fire has the upper hand, no attack, the wind lasts for a long time, and the night wind stops. , every army must know that there are changes in the five fires, and guard them with numbers.

Therefore, those who attack with fire are bright, and those who attack with water are strong.Water can be cut off, but not taken away. If the husband conquers the attack and does not cultivate his skills, it will be fierce, and he will be called Feiliu.Therefore, it is said: The master of understanding is concerned about it, good generals cultivate it, do not move unless it is beneficial, do not use it if it is necessary, do not fight unless it is dangerous, the master should not be angry and provoke the teacher, and the general should not be angry and go to war; Anger can be restored to joy, anger can be restored to joy; a subjugated country cannot be revived, and the dead cannot be resurrected. Therefore, a wise king is cautious about it, and a good general is vigilant about it. This is the way to stabilize the country and the entire army.

Sun Tzu said: There are five kinds of fire attacks: one is to burn the enemy's army and horse camps; convoy.To carry out a fire attack, certain conditions must be met. "Fireworks" must be prepared at ordinary times. When a fire occurs, one must choose a favorable climate. When starting a fire, one must choose a favorable date. When the four constellations, Bi, Yi, and Zhen are in the positions, it is a day of straight wind, and all fire attacks.It is necessary to use troops in response to the changes in the enemy's situation caused by the five types of fire attacks mentioned above.

If you set fire from inside the enemy's camp, you must promptly respond with troops from outside. After the fire starts, the enemy army should be quiet and not move. You should wait for observation and not rush to attack; The fire can be set off from the outside, so there is no need to wait for an internal response, it can be set off as soon as the time comes.Set fire from the upper wind, do not attack from the lower wind.If you blow for a long time during the day, it is easy to stop at night. Whoever guides the army in combat must understand the five fire attack methods and their changes, and wait for the opportunity to use them.

Therefore, the effect of attacking with fire is obvious, and the power of attacking with water is powerful. Water can only block the enemy, but cannot destroy the enemy's military supplies like fire. It is very dangerous to reward those who have won meritorious service without citing meritorious service. This is called "vain waste". Therefore, a wise monarch should carefully consider it, and a good general should study it carefully. Don't use troops, don't go to war until the moment of danger, the monarch can't raise troops because of a momentary anger, and the general can't go to war because of a momentary anger; act when it is beneficial to the country, stop what is not good for the country; anger will rejoice Resentment and resentment will bring joy again. A country that is dead cannot survive, and a person who is dead cannot be resurrected. Therefore, a wise ruler must be cautious in war, and a good general must be vigilant in war. This is the principle of stabilizing the country and defending the army.

When it comes to fire attack, people will immediately think of the "Battle of Chibi". Zhou Yu burned down Cao Cao's 800,000 troops in one fire. It can't be said that it is not powerful!Sun Wu said that these five fire attack methods were used repeatedly by generals in subsequent wars.Three Kingdoms era.Mr. Liu Bei of the Kingdom of Shu led an army to attack Wu, and General Xun of Wu sent troops to attack the camp of Shu. He was defeated in the first battle. Lu Xun asked the defeated soldiers: "Have you seen what the camp of the Shu army is made of?" A veteran said: "We saw it, it's all wooden fences." Lu Xun laughed when he heard it, and everyone was puzzled why the general still laughed after losing the battle. A few days later, Lu Xun sent people to set fire to Shuying, and the fire burned continuously For several days, the 40-mile camp of the Shu army was completely burned out. Liu Bei was defeated and died of vomiting blood in a hurry.

Sun Wu also talked about an important military thought in the fire attack chapter, that is, "war with caution".Because the fire attack is very destructive, whether it is people or materials, once the fire burns out, there will be no more. Although Zhuge Liang has used the fire attack several times, he still said that it is best not to use fire until there is no other way. It can be seen that he saw the harm of fire attack at that time. Therefore, Sun Tzu said: "Fire attack" is just an auxiliary means of "military attack". Conditions, develop yourself, fight the enemy.In the Three Kingdoms that everyone is familiar with, Cao Cao took advantage of the sky to order the princes, and he used the prestige of the Han Dynasty to issue orders everywhere. When Kong Ming first came out of the mountain, he saw that Liu Bei's power was too small, so he urged Liu Bei to take Jing and Yi first. As the base for their own development, the two states are borrowing power, relying on the power of Liu Biao and Liu Zhang.

In the Gulf War between the United States and Iraq in 1991, the United States borrowed the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and the strength of multinational forces to send troops to fight Iraq.When the United States invaded North Korea during the Korean War, it also used the guise of the UN Security Council to send troops. It can be seen that "borrowing" is a military strategy often used by military strategists. The just side can use it, and the unjust side can also use it. On July 28, 1914, the first world war broke out in human history. This war lasted for 4 years and 3 months until it ended on November 11, 1918. During this war, there were Thirty-eight countries participated, and 70 million people participated in the war. The war burned more than 4 million square kilometers of land, and the front line was 2,500 to 4,000 kilometers long. 10 million people died in the war, and 20 million people were injured.

This war was a bloody battle for world hegemony between the Allies headed by Germany and Austria and the Allied Powers headed by Britain, France, and Russia. Both sides invested a lot of new weapons, such as machine guns, cannons, howitzers, and aircraft. , tanks, poison gas, etc., the way of war has undergone major changes, and for the first time entered the massacre of modern warfare, which had a major impact on the subsequent World War II. How did World War I start?In fact, the German and Austrian empires that provoked the war also engaged in an act of "borrowing", but Germany and Austria have already made preparations for war.

On June 28, 1914, the powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire held a military exercise in Bosia on the border of Serbia. The enemy of this exercise was of course Serbia.Those who came to watch the exercise included Archduke Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Princess Sophie, the Grand Duchess. The scene of the exercise was very spectacular. Teams of artillery vehicles and teams of attacking infantry used weapons that Archduke Ferdinand had never seen before, so he was very excited and said to his generals: "When can we use these new weapons to deal with our enemies and let them know how powerful we are."

"Yes, I think it will be used soon, but we still have a chance," said the Imperial Army Chief of Staff Zarad confidently. "What kind of opportunity is it?" Archduke Ferdinand asked with great interest. "Well, for example, missing an appointment or something..." Zarad couldn't speak for a moment. Archduke Ferdinand smiled triumphantly: "We will wait for the opportunity." Twelve times unfortunately, this opportunity came very quickly, not in someone else, but in Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. This sub-drill excited Archduke Ferdinand, and after the drill he proposed to visit Sarajevo. The city hall of Sarajevo was immediately notified that Archduke Ferdinand was coming to make an inspection tour. Mihailo Psala, a tolerance officer who was guarding the gate of the city hall, was the first to see the notice and was really overjoyed. It turned out that this Mikhailo Psala was a local singer, a "singer" in today's words.His service in the city hall is nothing more than a cover-up business. His real identity is a member of the local nationalist secret group "Young Bosnia". Hearing the news, Mikhailo Psala immediately found a carriage and ran to the headquarters of "Young Bosnia". "Brothers, the opportunity has come, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife are here, let's act now!" "Okay, let's take two actions immediately, and we must not put them back." The leader of this group, Chabrinowitz, immediately held a secret meeting, at which the assassination plan was adopted. At around 10 o'clock in the morning, the weather was warm and it was a good day to go out and play. The royal car team drove out in a single line.The streets were crowded with crowds of spectators everywhere, but there were not many guards on the road. Most of them were guards participating in a big exercise. The team had already been pulled into the wild and could not return for a while. The remaining few gendarmes were all dispatched. When they came out, they lazily carried their guns on their backs one by one. On the way that Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were going to pass, seven Serbian assassins were ambushing, and the leader was Chabrinovic. At around 10 o'clock, Archduke Ferdinand and his husband came out. They walked in the car, waved to the cheering crowd, and drove towards the Appel Pier. Seeing the car of Archduke Ferdinand, Tzabrinovicz signaled to his accomplices. When the car came to the front, Zabrinowitz yelled: "Brothers, throw the bomb!" He was the first to throw the bomb in his hand. The bomb didn't fall into the car, but went off beside the car. With a "boom", three guards fell down. The driver of Archduke Ferdinand heard the sound and stepped on the gas, and the car "suddenly" drove past.After driving a long way, Archduke Ferdinand could not hear anything in the car. At this moment, the driver turned around and saw that there were no guards left, so he said, "Your Highness, do you want to drive back immediately?" "No, don't go back, go to the hospital immediately, I want to see how my entourage is injured?" "Now, it's so safe!" "It doesn't matter, the danger is over, let's go!" When Zabrinovicz threw the bomb, Mikhailo Psala was singing in an Orthodox church. He didn't directly participate in the assassination. He sang halfway, and he couldn't wait and ran out Jump into a carriage and run to Appel's Quay.Halfway through, he had already heard the news that the assassination failed, and he was very anxious. At this moment, he saw Ferdinand's car driving past... It just so happened that there was another assassin, Princip, here, so he Beside Mikhailo Pusala, Prinzip was stunned when he saw Archduke Ferdinand, but he immediately realized that this is a good opportunity to do something!Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the gun and was about to pull the trigger when a policeman spotted him: "No, there are assassins!" The policeman rushed up bravely and grabbed Princip's arm, and at that very moment.Mihailo Psala charged forward, like a bolt of lightning, and punched the policeman on the jaw. The policeman staggered and fell to the ground. The gun in Princip's hand also rang out. Several bombs fell. Mihailo Psala jumped into the carriage and ran. He ran to the dance hall of the town hall, where a concert was being held. Weber's "Forest Girl", there are several long-haired girls singing for him, Mihailo Pusala is very unhappy, but in front of the rounds of applause, who would have thought that he is the one who started the world war? , Of course, the outbreak of the war is a later thing. The news of Archduke Ferdinand's assassination spread to Germany immediately, Kaiser Wilhelm II shouted: "This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what are we waiting for?" The next day, the chief of staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Zarad said: "The military mobilization begins now, and we will use force to solve the Serbian problem." At 6:00 pm on July 23, 1914, the Austro-Hungarian Empire issued an ultimatum to the Serbian government. Serbia had not yet reacted. On July 28, the Austro-Hungarian Empire officially declared war on Serbia. In the afternoon, the Austro-Hungarian Empire opened fire on Belgrade. , the rumble of guns marked the outbreak of the First World War. As Sun Tzu said: It is impossible to succeed in war without relying on external forces, and there are many external forces. What kind of external forces to rely on must be carefully considered.Once the decision is wrong, it will bring irreparable losses. In 1958, Chinese businessman Liu Wenhan was still an ordinary businessman in the United States. He had no big assets. He could only do some auto parts business. At that time, there were many people doing this kind of business in the United States. He had an idea of ​​developing a new industry, but he was not sure what to do. In the summer of this year, he went to Cleveland, USA for a business trip. That night, an American friend of his invited him to dinner. At that time, Liu Wenhan was in a bad mood. The enthusiasm of American friends had to go. The place where they ate was a not too big restaurant. When Liu Wenhan walked in, he saw many black youths, men and women surrounding a field, shouting, beating and screaming, and he felt restless again, "Mr. Hans, I I really don’t want to come here, I’m not used to it.” At that time, many Chinese who went to the United States were of low economic status. They always thought about how to do business well, and seldom went to places for entertainment. "Mr. Liu Wenhan, it doesn't matter, you will get used to it soon, the United States is like this." After a while, Hans' friend came. He had long black hair. At first, Liu Wenhan thought it was a lady, but after sitting down and talking a few words, he realized that it was a man. Liu Wenhan had no choice but to complain secretly in his heart. When he came to the United States, he couldn't even tell a man from a woman. Everyone sat down and talked for a while, Hans saw that Liu Wenhan was not in a good mood, so he half-jokingly said: "This is my friend, Mr. Liu Wenhan, who specializes in fashion business in the United States, and he sells whatever Americans need. " The long-haired man exclaimed: "That's really great!" He tore off the hair on his shoulders and said, "Look, this is what Americans need most at present." Liu Wenhan was taken aback: "Your hair is fake? Why do you wear a wig?" Hans' friend laughed: "I'm a salesman, and that's what I sell!" "Wigs are popular in America?" "Of course, you can sell as many years as you have!" "Is this true?" Liu Wenhan still couldn't believe it. Hans said: "Now there are very few wig factories in the United States, and they cannot produce them. They are mainly imported from France." "Why do Americans need so many wigs at once?" "This, this...we can't tell." Hans smiled, "Only you Chinese, you have to ask why." Coming out of the restaurant, Liu Wenhan walked on the street, thinking: Why do Americans need wigs?Just as he was thinking, a pair of beeps came from his ears, and a group of motorcycles drove over like crazy. A group of American youths were on board. The women were all bald, and the men had long hair. They yelled at Liu Wenhan for a while, and then A few young men took off their long hair, and it was difficult for those bald women to put it on. The women had long hair, and the men were all bald. "Great, great!" Liu Wenhan exclaimed, and he found the reason why the United States needs long hair. When the hippies heard him applaud, they surrounded him happily, singing and dancing... At that time, the anti-Vietnam War sentiment in the United States was very high, and the struggle of American blacks for equality was also surging. At this time, a group of young people with long hair appeared in the society who were dissatisfied with the reality. Hippie" movement.It is impossible for a man's hair to grow to a shawl overnight. Besides, these people don't even wash their faces, so there is no time to comb their long hair, so wigs have become the most fashionable commodity in the United States overnight. After Liu Wenhan returned to Hong Kong, he found that some people in the Hong Kong market used real hair imported from Indonesia to make side hair and sell it.It is mainly for hair loss people and actors, and the production cost is very low. It only costs one or two hundred Hong Kong dollars to make one, and it can be sold for 500 Hong Kong dollars in the United States. He worked hard to research a machine for making wigs, and the products were sold directly to the United States. In the 1960s, Hong Kong's wig industry became one of the four prosperous industries in Hong Kong.By 1970, it surpassed the electronics industry, and the total export volume reached 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Liu Wenhan formed more than 300 wig factories in Hong Kong, and 200,000 wigs were sold to the United States every year. Liu Wenhan became the real "father of the world's wigs." Many years later, Liu Wenhan said: "If I hadn't been to the United States in 1958. If I hadn't met Hans' friends and seen those 'hippies', I wouldn't be the wig king Liu Wenhan today." At the time of the decisive battle, Mao Zedong seized the opportunity to "move with profit" Sun Tzu said, "Move when it suits the interests, and stop when it doesn't suit the interests." It can be said to be a famous saying guiding war.At the beginning of the Liberation War, Mao Zedong grasped the principle of acting in the interests of the country. At the same time, he seized the opportunity when the Soviet army sent troops to the Northeast and Japan surrendered. In July 1945, the Huangshan slopes in Yan’an were all covered with green clothes. There were heavy millet and bright red sorghum everywhere. It was a scene of a bumper harvest. In the fields, fields and village entrances, there were men driving donkeys and children herding sheep. Everyone has a smile on their face. In Yangjialing, surrounded by green trees, there is still an atmosphere of celebration. The "Seventh National Congress" has just been held here. More than 700 representatives from liberated areas of the country gathered together to elect the chairman of the Communist Party of China and the leader of the people, Mao Zedong. These days, in northern Shaanxi, in various liberated areas, mountains, rivers and rivers are singing "The East is red, the sun is rising, China has a Mao Zedong..." After dinner, Mao Zedong went to work in the vegetable field behind the cave as usual. He saw that the peppers he had planted had grown into a large piece, and the pumpkins had grown quite large, so he bent down and picked them. On the hillside not far away On the road, there is a peach grove, and the branches are covered with peaches. Mao Zedong stood there watching for a while, and said to himself: "It seems that it's time to pick peaches, and the peaches are already ripe." The sun gradually set, the sky and the earth became blurred, and people could not be seen clearly on the opposite mountain. Mao Zedong held the harvested peppers in both hands, and returned to his residence excitedly. When he looked up, he saw that Zhu De and Zhou Enlai were sitting Wait for him on the stone chair in front of the door. "I kept you waiting for a long time, I invite you to eat chili." Chairman, I can’t take care of your spicy food now. On the 16th of this month, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union held the Potsdam Conference. It seems that the situation will change a lot. Zhou Enlai showed Mao Zedong a newspaper. "Even though we don't know what the content is, the issue of the Soviet Union sending troops and Japan's surrender must be discussed," Zhu De said while talking about his views. While wiping his face with a towel, Mao Zedong said, "I was in the vegetable garden just now, and I saw that the peaches on the mountain are already ripe, and someone is coming to pick them." The alert and wise Zhou Enlai immediately understood Mao Zedong's meaning and said, "Yes, Chiang Kai-shek is coming to pick peaches. At this time, he will not stand still." Mao Zedong smiled knowingly, put down the towel in his hand and said, "Let's go indoors and talk." When he came to the house, Mao Zedong lit a cigarette, took two puffs and said: "The situation is developing very fast. Last month we sent a telegram to the Standing Committee of the Hunan-Hubei District and the Hunan People's Anti-Japanese National Salvation Military and Political Committee. There is still a year and a half before the collapse of the Japanese aggressors, so let them hurry up to establish the liberated areas, and now it seems that it will not take a few months!" "This is called the situation is threatening, we have to be prepared." Mr. Zhu said. At this time, Ye Jianying walked in, holding a telegram in his hand: "Chairman, I just received a telegram. On July 21, the Kuomintang temporarily formed the 59th Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division. The position was attacked, and our Guanzhong 771 regiment immediately defended itself." Mao Zedong raised his head: "Chiang Kai-shek can't wait, don't even pretend to be." He said and walked to the map: "This place in Guanzhong is not small, it is more than 100 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide." Ye Jianying said: "As far as we know, Hu Zongnan transferred six divisions this time, and three divisions have come in. There are three more divisions to follow." "Let them in. If they want to come in, you can't let them in if you insist. Let the people of the whole country see who is fighting the civil war," Mao Zedong said calmly. "Chiang Kai-shek's appetite is very big now. He wants to eat our Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region in one bite. He can't take care of the Northeast after taking care of the north of Shaanxi." Speaking of this, Boss Zhu himself laughed. Zhou Enlai walked up to the map, folded his hands on his chest and said: "Hu Zongnan, a student of the first phase of Whampoa, is always looking for opportunities to express himself. This time we can give him a chance, but we can't let him take advantage of it." "Comrade Jianying, what do you think about it?" Mao Zedong asked. "In our opinion, the new 4th brigade can be transferred up, and after a counterattack, it can withdraw voluntarily." "Well, that's it, you go and send a telegram." "Yes, Chairman, I'll do it right away." After speaking, Ye Jianying left in a hurry, and Mao Zedong fell into deep thought again. Hu Zongnan's attack interrupted Mao Zedong's thoughts. During this period of time, Mao Zedong had been thinking about the Northeast issue. "Boss Zhu, Enlai, I think it was our original agreement. From the overall situation, it should be to develop northward and defend southward. The south side can be temporarily released, and the south side should be connected to the north. In this way, we will concentrate our forces. Get the initiative." Mao Zedong walked to the map: "After the Japanese invaders in the Northeast are wiped out, we must enter the Northeast as soon as possible. Starting from this overall situation, the strategic positions of Zhangjiakou and Duolun are very important at present. The Liberated Areas of Chahar and Rehe must be connected with the Northeast as soon as possible." In this way, our army can enter the northeast from the land, and the other is the sea. How about Qinhuangdao? There are also Qingdao and Yantai in Shandong. At least one port must be seized, and we must strive to occupy these important places before the enemy. Be ready to enter the Northeast at any time." Zhou Enlai nodded: "We should immediately send a telegram telling all the liberated areas the spirit of the central government." Boss Zhu nodded in agreement with Mao Zedong's opinion: "Comrade Luo Rongheng can be asked to lead the main force of Shandong to the northeast." Mao Zedong took another two puffs of cigarettes, and exhaled lightly: "Comrade Rong Huan is good at uniting people and has great organizational skills. You can rest assured about that. But there is still one military commander missing. Only those who are particularly capable of fighting Okay... Lin Biao...how is Lin Biao?" Zhou Enlai said: "The Military Commission held a meeting last time to study, and it has been decided that Lin Biao and Xiao Qingguang should go to Shandong to command the troops in Shandong." "Oh..." Mao Zedong nodded, and his brows frowned. He remembered the scene of the last meeting. At the meeting, the Central Committee proposed to send Peng Zhen, Chen Yun, Gao Gang, and Zhang Wentian to the Northeast. Members of the Politburo, and many members of the Central Committee, and Lin Biao is a member of the Central Committee. Many people worry that his qualifications are too light. If he is the highest military commander of our army in the Northeast, he may not be competent. Mao Zedong fell into deep thought again... The matter is so important that we have to think twice before acting! In August 1945 in China, the situation of the entire war years was changing rapidly, dazzling like a kaleidoscope. On the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek was complacent and eager to resume the civil war. He could not wait to dispatch troops to besiege Yan'an , and there is no corresponding strategy for the major strategic changes that will take place in the Northeast. Mao Zedong already has the overall situation in mind, strategizing, setting up a strategy, and holding a giant pen in his hand, he will write a great book of history. On August 28, 1945, Mao Zedong went to Rebook for peace talks with Chiang Kai-shek. On October 5th, Chongqing Shandong Linyuan Mansion. The secret talks between Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong had been going on for 1 hour and 20 minutes, and the conversation reached a stalemate again on the old issue of the army. It has been more than a month since Mao Zedong came to Chongqing, and there have been as many as seven high-level talks between the two of them. Now that the negotiations are at a stalemate, the people of the country are all anxious and watching the changes in the situation. The cloud of civil war was always gathering on people's minds. The future of China is really worrying! In the evening, Mao Zedong had just returned to No. 50 Zengjiayan. Zhou Enlai greeted him with a telegram in his hand. "What good news is it?" Mao Zedong asked while taking off his coat. "Boss Zhu called. The battle of Shangdang was a great victory. A total of more than 30,000 people from Yan Xishan's troops were wiped out, and 10,000 people under the commander of the 19th Army, Shi Zebo, were taken prisoner." Mao Zedong repeatedly praised: "Okay, okay, the better the war over there, the better our life will be here. I think, if we talk about it further, the chairman's confidence may not be so strong." Zhou Enlai asked: "How was the talk this afternoon?" Mao Zedong sighed, "How should I put it? He thinks he has 5 million troops, and with the backing of the big boss in the United States, he can eat us. I think he is in a daze. Maybe he should wake up and talk about the Shangdang campaign. !" Zhou Enlai said: "According to reliable information, Chiang Kai-shek has secretly issued the 'Bandit Suppression Hand' to 13 commanders of our wars yesterday and has assembled troops near our liberated areas such as Central China, East China, and South China. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek's most elite Chinese expedition Army, under the cover of US warships and aircraft, has already landed in Lushunkou, Huludao and other ports, and it is estimated that it will not take long for the Jiang army in the Northeast to reach as many as 600,000." "Hmm!" Mao Zedong stared at Zhou Enlai for a moment, then slowly sat down on the rattan chair, then took out a cigarette and lit it. Zhou Enlai pondered and said: "The work in the Northeast will focus on military struggles in the future. It is best to select and send a highly respected boss to take charge of the work there." Mao Zedong stood up, opened his clothes, and smoked heavily while thinking about suitable candidates. Bo Cheng, Xiaoping, Rong Zhen, He Long... are all in charge now, Shandong is an important military location, and Chen Yi can't move. Mao Zedong turned around and said, "Well, what do you think of Lin Biao?" Zhou Enlai thought about it and said: "He has a way of leading the army and fighting. He has good military qualities and has fought some beautiful battles. There should be no problem. It's just that there are more old comrades there. Gao Gang and Chen Yun are both members of the Politburo. He is just an ordinary member of the Central Committee, young and inexperienced, and because of his personality, he may have some difficulties in presiding over the work, right?" Mao Zedong pondered for a moment, stubbed out his cigarette butt, and said decisively: "We Communists are not for being officials, but for revolution. Put aside your duties, put the party's interests first, put the country's future first, and obey the overall arrangements. I believe our cadres have this awareness." Seeing that Mao Zedong had made up his mind, Zhou Enlai nodded and said, "Yes, I think. Our comrades will handle these relations well." "To be ordered in a crisis is to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility!" "Then it must be broken!" "Okay" Then appoint Lin Biao as the commander and political commissar of the Northeast Army, the two top leaders in the military and government, so that it is easy to arrange work in an all-round way, and he will be the lead singer of the Northeast drama. Zhou Enlai reminded: "Seek Boss Zhu's opinion before making a final decision!" Mao Zedong waved his arm and said briskly: "Okay, we will discuss this issue when we go back. I think that as long as the issue in the Northeast is solved well, Chiang Kai-shek's treasure seat will not be stable." Lin Biao, who was rushing to Shandong, received an emergency order issued by Mao Zedong and Zhu De himself at the headquarters of the North China Eighth Route Army: "Order Lin Biao to quickly divert to the northeast after seeing the telegram." Lin Biao held a telegram in his hand, seeing that the Central Committee had consolidated all the power in the Northeast, he felt Mao Zedong’s trust deeply, and he also knew that the Northeast battlefield was the outline of the national war situation, and there could only be success but not failure. Zhilao Dun, starry night wind and rain, rushed to the northeast. . On the vast Northeast battlefield, the Northeast Field Army followed Mao Zedong's deployment and staged a scene of three trips to the south of the Yangtze River, four protections near the river, and the mighty and majestic live drama of the Liaoshen War. After the third Spring and Autumn Period, a million troops from the Northeast Field Army entered the pass, shocking Pingjin.For the first time, the People's Liberation Army had an advantage over the Kuomintang army in terms of strength.
