The world is unpredictable. It's golden autumn.The wind blows from the crop fields, carrying a hint of ripe autumn flavor.Whenever they smell the breath of autumn, farmers will twitch their noses affectionately. This is a kind of deep attachment to the countryside, and the crops are a year's blood and sweat. Grasping the autumn harvest is the wish of every farmer. The Kuomintang gang of poor soldiers often go to the countryside to grab food, and no one wants to give the crops they get to the wolves to feed the bad guys so they can hurt people? Before the crops in the fields were harvested, good news came from the north. It said that the East China Field Army of the People's Liberation Army had conquered the provincial capital of Jinan, wiped out more than 110,000 defending enemies, and captured Wang Yaowu, the commander of the Kuomintang's second appeasement zone. .

It seems that the world is really about to change, and the poor people are looking forward to it. After winter, another piece of good news came from farther north. The Liaoshen Campaign launched by the Northeast Field Army of the People's Liberation Army ended successfully.They captured Fan Hanjie, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast "Suppression General", Lu Qingquan, commander of the Sixth Corps, Liao Yaoxiang, commander of the Ninth Corps, commanders Li Tao, Bai Fengwu, Zheng Tingji and more than 470,000 officers and soldiers.So far, the entire territory of Northeast China has been liberated.

Millions of soldiers from the Northeast Field Army marched into the Pass, approaching Pingjin, and the Kuomintang lineup was in chaos. The generals had no fighting spirit, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and war weariness gradually gained the upper hand. The two news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Qingdao as if they had grown wings.No one can cover up such important news, and it has greatly deterred the Kuomintang garrisons and reactionary armed forces. The Kuomintang regime in exile and a large number of refugees from all over Shandong flocked here, and Qingdao was crowded at once.These fugitives were of all kinds, including landowners, big businessmen, government officials and their families.There are also vagrant beggars, thieves and thieves.

Qingdao originally looked like a slender and beautiful girl, but suddenly turned into a bloated woman. The then mayor of Qingdao, Li Xianliang, announced at the executive meeting that there were more than 300,000 "refugees" entering Qingdao from other places, which became the biggest difficulty in Qingdao at present. If it is not handled properly, the social order of Qingdao may be in chaos!He appealed to the chiefs to do everything in their power to relieve this scourge. This is still the urban area, if counting the suburbs and the southern part of Jimo, the number of "refugees" will not be doubled.How can so many homeless people be accommodated in such a narrow area?

Is Qingdao a haven from the wind? After Li Xianliang left office (August 1945 to August 1948), in less than 10 months, three more people took up the post of mayor of Qingdao successively.They are Gong Xuesui (September 1948-March 1949), Qin Dechun (March 1949-May 1949), and Sun Jiding (acting, May 1949-June 2, 1949). From the changing of the role of mayor, it is not difficult to see how bad Qingdao was at that time. The wind is cold and the snow is flying... The charcoal fire in the brazier had already been extinguished, and the wind and snow kept filling the house through the gaps in the roof and doors and windows, making the house as cold as ice.

A gust of wind hit and the door was blown open. The soldiers of the 32nd Army and the 50th Army of the Kuomintang who were stationed in rural houses in the outskirts woke up from the cold and curled up into a ball, and no one bothered to get up. There is silence outside the door, only flakes of snow falling silently... In the distance, there was the sound of gongs. A gong with a head wrapped in white cloth was struck in the center of the gong, and the gong made a muffled sound of "boom-boom", and the sound of the gong sounded far, far away. The township team watching the night shouted in a hoarse voice: "The Communist Party is fleeing, raping, looting, burning and killing, every household, take precautions as soon as possible, big girls and young wives must be more careful..."

The yelling sound was like ghost screams from the tomb, disturbing people's peace. The common people are secretly scolding their mothers: "Why are you howling, are you guilty?" This is a cold and long winter. The wheels of history are turning fast. In the blink of an eye, it turned to January 26, 1949, the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar. On this day, the top leaders of China's two opposing factions are both facing a map of China and making a fuss.
