Chapter 23 23. From "killing the people to support the army" to "expelling the people out of the city"

It can be seen that the situation is caused by the Kuomintang, that is, "killing the people to support the army" and "expelling the people out of the city", creating a mess for you to accept.The Kuomintang robbed food, and the process was as follows: The "Wartime Changchun Grain Time Control Measures" was promulgated, which stipulated that citizens were only allowed to keep three months' rations for themselves, and the rest of the grain was sold to the city government at a negotiated price, "for military supplies."If any of the residents resists and refuses to hand over or hides and refuses to sell, once seized, in addition to confiscating food, they will also be punished according to military law.As a result, the food of the residents in the city was "controlled", distributed uniformly, and exhausted.

When tragedies happen, we always have to find the "reason". According to the memories of Zheng Dongguo, the head of the first army of the Kuomintang at that time: In the telegram [Chiang Kai-shek] apart from comforting us with kind words, he still asked us to stick to Changchun no matter what, and wait for him to send a large army to rescue.In the telegram to myself, Mr. Jiang also specially ordered me to take all the materials and food of the people in Changchun City into public ownership, and no private sales are allowed. The results of it?Chiang Kai-shek was at a loss and could not send rescue troops at all.Once the drama of "killing the people and raising the army" is exhausted, the drama of "expelling the people out of the city" will come out. The final tragedy proves two points: first, you, Chiang Kai-shek, should never guard the isolated city of Changchun; Powerless to save the lonely city of Changchun.It was your mistake in decision-making, and the responsibility rests with you, clearly. The "reason" is here, but our ignorant Long Yingtai doesn't know, she only looks at the "phenomenon". The "phenomenon" is that the Communist Party is wrong. This is the method structure of this book. Such a confused person actually wants to write a book.

■Changchun is not a place to be defended to the death, and it should not be defended at all, resulting in a tragedy of the siege. □ This is of course due to Chiang Kai-shek's confusion.The role of defending the isolated city is only for face, temporary face. ■KMT's propaganda works have themes like "President Chiang's great achievements in military affairs". □In military terms, defending Changchun is a joke, and anyone who understands military affairs knows that it is a laughing stock in war history.Moreover, from the history of war, we can also learn the tricks of "war against hungry people".It is recorded in the book of Caesar: In 52 BC, the barbarians defended the city of Alesia, that is, they drove out the old and weak from the city, and went to the Roman army to beg for a meal.Caesar refused to take in the hungry people because he saw that this was a "starving people's war" waged by the enemy.
