Mao Zedong is willing to provide supplies to help the Kuomintang hold on to Jinmen.Chiang Kai-shek forbade his subordinates to call the Communist Party an aggressor with the Americans. (Beijing-Kinmen-Taipei, October 1958) On the National Day of 1958, the military parade on Tiananmen Square was particularly eye-catching. Because the Kinmen bombardment has become the focus of the world's attention, and because the United States has recently assembled heavy troops in the Taiwan Strait and escorted the planes and warships of the Kuomintang army, the various services and arms of the People's Liberation Army, navy, and air force displayed new equipment and capabilities in the parade. Heavy weapons, coupled with valiant militia divisions; all the guests from all over the world on the viewing platform were shocked.

Four J-5 or MiG-17 fighter jets lined up and passed over the sky above Tiananmen Gate. This was the first public appearance of a Chinese-made jet fighter.Pointing to the plane in the sky, Mao Zedong proudly said to the foreign friends around him, "Look! The plane we built ourselves flew over." After the military parade, Mao Zedong went to the rest room to rest, met Peng Dehuai, and asked with concern: "Is there any news from Jinmen today?" Peng Dehuai said: "By twelve o'clock at noon, the KMT's planes had dropped nearly 50 sorties to Kinmen, and the number was more than usual."

Mao Zedong asked: "Is there any US plane cover?" Peng Dehuai said: "Yes. They are all patrolling the high seas." Mao Zedong smiled: "Take advantage of our holidays to take advantage of the loophole." Peng Dehuai said: "Nie Fengzhi asked for a fight, and he wanted to give the airdropped Kuomintang plane two hits." Mao Zedong asked: "What if the US plane fires?" Peng Dehuai said: "After observation by the Air Force Ground Observation Station, they found a gap, flew low and made a surprise attack, hit and fled." Mao Zedong pondered for a while, did not answer, and went back to the railing of the city tower to watch the parade.

While watching the parade, he was thinking about Quemoy, the plane, and the mysterious development of the situation since the shelling of Quemoy. Since mid-September, when the blockade of Jinmen was strengthened, the opponent also changed its approach.The U.S. carrier-based fighter jets took off from the aircraft carrier in the strait and dispatched dozens of sorties almost every day to cover the transport planes of the Kuomintang army to the airspace 20 kilometers away from Kinmen (outside China’s territorial waters). Airdrop over the door.On the sea, the U.S. and Chiang Kai-shek warships once again mixed formation and sailed to anchor beyond the range of the mainland coastal guns off the coast of Kinmen. The Kuomintang army transport ship put down a crawler-type amphibious transport vehicle called "water duck" and waded ashore to unload the cargo.The artillery of the People's Liberation Army cannot shell foreign naval ships, and the length of the amphibious transport vehicle is only a few meters, the target is very small, and it is in motion, so it is difficult for the artillery to hit it from a long distance.

The opponent's sea and air supply method has brought new difficulties to the blockade of Kinmen.The People's Liberation Army's speedboat troops have encountered the typhoon season in Fujian, and the sea is swelled and the waves are high, making it difficult for small boats to go to sea.The artillery developed a new method of warfare, pushing some long-range artillery and coastal artillery forward to increase the range of fire control, forcing the opponent's transport ship to stop farther away, and the amphibious transport vehicle sank due to the increased voyage and was easily capsized by waves.After careful calculation, the artillery of the People's Liberation Army designed barrages and fire walls to block shooting at the pier and beach of Liuluo Bay, so that when the land and water transport vehicles rushed to the beach, several ships would always be destroyed.As a result, the transportation volume has been greatly reduced, which is far from meeting the needs of the Kinmen defenders, so they have to rely on airdrop transportation.The Kuomintang army engaged in airdrops at night, and the People's Liberation Army also simulated the light signals on Kinmen Island at the front and salient parts to induce transport planes to drop them by mistake.The Kuomintang army carried out low-altitude airdrops at dawn and dusk, and the People's Liberation Army tightly organized aerial fire nets to seal the airdrop field and accurately shelled and dropped supplies.By the end of September, the defenders of Kinmen could only get more than 100 tons of airdropped supplies in a day, which was a drop in the bucket, to no avail.

The Kuomintang Air Force has also harassed the mainland to distract the PLA.On September 24, the Kuomintang Air Force dispatched 24 F-86 fighter jets to harass the sky over Wenzhou, Zhejiang.In air combat, the Kuomintang Air Force used the "Sidewinder" air-to-air missile provided by the United States for the first time.Wang Zizhong, a pilot of the Second Division of the PLA Naval Air Corps, fell behind and fought fiercely with twelve enemy planes, shooting down two of them. He was also hit by a "Sidewinder" missile and fell. Mao Zedong heard the news on his way to Beijing on his tour in the south. He was very sad and did not speak for a long time.He returned to Beijing on September 29 and received a detailed report: During the Wenzhou air battle, the Kuomintang Air Force launched several "Sidewinder" missiles, several of which fell to the ground, and some had not yet exploded, so they were intact and were captured by the local The military and civilians picked it up and sent it to the national defense scientific research department to become a rare sample for China to study its own air-to-air missiles.The Wenzhou air battle is said to be the first use of air-to-air missiles in the history of world air combat.The infrared heat-seeking sensitivity of this missile is not very high, and there is no friend-or-foe identification system; the Air Force concluded that our aircraft quickly approached the enemy, and the two aircraft fleets competed at close range. It was difficult for the opponent to find a launch opportunity, and losses could be avoided.Mao Zedong said to Liu Yalou: "It is impossible to defend against it. We must have our own air-to-air missiles."

After the Air Force made a research summary on the "Sidewinder", in subsequent air battles, the "Sidewinder" missile never shot down a PLA aircraft. After Mao Zedong returned to Beijing, he also received a report from Zhou Enlai. Liu Xiao, the ambassador to the Soviet Union, sent an urgent telegram from Moscow: Khrushchev received Liu Xiao in Yalta and asked Liu Xiao to pass it on to the Chinese side. If the Chinese government thinks it is necessary to make a request If so, the Soviet Union could send a batch of Tu-16 bombers equipped with missiles to China, equipped with Soviet pilots, to deal serious blows to the invading imperialist armed forces in China's coastal and airspace, especially to Chiang Kai-shek's army. This constitutes pressure on the United States and makes the United States feel the might of the socialist camp.

Mao Zedong felt that it was necessary to respond to and punish the Kuomintang Air Force for using American air-to-air missiles; however, using Soviet aircraft with missiles to deal with it would be detrimental to national dignity, and it also involved issues of national sovereignty.It seems that Khrushchev came to China at the end of July to request the establishment of a long-wave radio station and the organization of a joint fleet, but he was not reconciled.Mao Zedong said to Zhou En: "The Taiwan Strait is already lively enough, and Khrushchev also wants to join in the fun. It is easier to invite God than to send God away."

Zhou Enlai very cleverly rejected Khrushchev's request.Zhou Enlai instructed to call back: China is preparing to manufacture bombers and missiles by itself, please help. On October 2, the day after the military parade, Mao Zedong approved the air force's proposal to fight, but reiterated that our planes would not fly out of the territorial waters or bomb Kinmen. On October 3, at around 3 pm, the Kuomintang army dispatched forty-eight F-86 fighter jets to cover twenty-four C-46 transport planes, and flew over Kinmen to prepare for airdrops.The US aircraft is on alert at an altitude of 12,000 meters, or patrolling on the high seas of the strait.Twenty-four MiG-17 fighter jets of the People's Liberation Army took off immediately and flew over the mainland near Kinmen Island, attracting the attention of the F-86 fleet of the Kuomintang Air Force.At this time, according to the scheduled deployment, another four MiG-17 fighter planes sailed covertly and flew from a low altitude to the sky south of Kinmen. They encountered the transport fleet behind the Kuomintang army and immediately approached and attacked them. C-46 transport aircraft.Hit and run, quickly flying over the western part of Golden Gate to return to base.The anti-aircraft artillery fire on Kinmen Island had not had time to fire, and the patrolling F-86 fighter jets had not yet responded, and the two C-46 transport planes that had been shot had smoked and fell into the sea.This is the first time that the People's Liberation Army Air Force flew over Kinmen Island to attack the air-dropped Kuomintang army transport fleet.

Mao Zedong praised the Air Force for fighting well. On October 4, Mao Zedong received a report that the Kuomintang army did not dare to airdrop at Kinmen throughout the day.It's just that the night airdrop is still going on.Amphibious transport vehicles coming from the open sea still landed sporadically under artillery fire.However, the average daily transportation volume has been greatly reduced, and can only reach about 40% of the minimum daily demand of the Kinmen defenders.It can be seen that the situation of Shoujima's troops has deteriorated day by day.In more than ten days, the 100,000 troops on the island will collapse without a fight.

In recent days, Mao Zedong paid special attention to the different reactions of the United States and Taiwan. The "New York Times" released a statistical material in late September, revealing that among the 50,000 public letters received by the US State Department and the White House, 80 percent of them opposed the US defense of Taiwan's coastal islands.The United Kingdom, Canada, Thailand, the Philippines, Australia and other countries have all expressed their unwillingness to be involved in the Taiwan conflict.Eisenhower faced tremendous pressure from public opinion at home and abroad, demanding that the United States abandon its policy of getting involved in Quemoy and Matsu. The Taiwan authorities were deeply worried about this, and Chiang Kai-shek made frequent speeches against the US ceasefire, because he did not want to withdraw from Jinma.On September 28, Chiang Kai-shek made a statement to Chinese and foreign journalists, repeatedly expressing his opposition to the Sino-US ambassadorial negotiations in Warsaw, "We will not allow the history of Munich in the Far East to repeat itself", "It means fighting to the last man and shedding the last drop of blood." , nor give up every inch of the Kinmen Islands." On September 30, Dulles also made a public speech, telling reporters, "If a reliable ceasefire is obtained, our judgment, even military judgment, is that it is unwise to maintain a large army in Quemoy and Matsu. but not prudent." Mao Zedong attached great importance to Dulles' public request for Chiang Kai-shek's "Golden Horse Withdrawal of Troops" speech, and once asked for a translation to search for the original text.The "Stupid" and "foolish" used by Dulles, in the English dictionary, contain the meanings of stupid, stupid, unwise, confused, and mindless.As Secretary of State, Dulles publicly said that Chiang Kai-shek was stupid, which went beyond diplomatic protocol.It can be seen that the United States is already very annoyed that Chiang Kai-shek did not withdraw troops from Jinma.There is also news that on October 1, the Central Standing Committee of the Kuomintang held a three-hour meeting in Taipei to discuss Dulles' speech.However, no statement was issued in Taipei after the meeting, apparently waiting for Chiang Kai-shek's final decision.Later that day, Chiang Kai-shek spoke to the Associated Press reporter in Kaohsiung, saying: "Assuming that Mr. Dulles really said that sentence, it is only a one-sided statement, and our government has no obligation to accept it." It can be seen that the contradiction between the United States and Chiang Kai-shek has intensified and has become open.Chiang Kai-shek couldn't bear it anymore, and he did not hesitate to publicly name and name his differences to the world. After the National Day, Mao Zedong became increasingly aware of the United States' intention to force Chiang to abandon Quemoy and Matsu.The United States and Chiang Kai-shek are defending or withdrawing for gold and horses. Although the contradictions are sharp and the disputes cannot be resolved, the defenders on Kinmen Island and even the regime on Taiwan Island must rely on the support of the United States to survive.If the People's Liberation Army exerts more blockade pressure, it will inevitably lead to pressure Chiang Kai-shek to submit to the United States.Then, apart from the collapse of the defenders on Kinmen Island, there is no choice but to repeat the retreat of Dachen Island. Mao Zedong judged the situation. After bombarding and blocking Kinmen, if he could only seize Kinmen and Matsu but not solve the Taiwan issue at the same time, the geographical distance between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would expand from less than ten kilometers to more than one hundred kilometers, and the Taiwan Strait would be separated. Access is more inconvenient.And Chiang Kai-shek's loss of the last stronghold that symbolizes his presence on the coast of the mainland will make it easier for the United States to create "two Chinas" or support "Taiwan independence."Keeping Kinmen and Matsu in Chiang Kai-shek's hands will not only promote the improvement of cross-Strait relations in the future, but also give Chiang Kai-shek the capital to resist "Taiwan independence" activities, maintain the country's territorial integrity, and promote the great cause of the reunification of the motherland. Mao Zedong made a new decision. At 8 a.m. on October 5th, Mao Zedong instructed the frontline troops in Fujian: "Regardless of whether there are U.S. planes or U.S. warships escorting us, on October 6th and 7th, our army will not fire a single shot; the enemy will bombard me, and I will not return a single shot." .Silence the flags and silence the drums, observe for two days, and then reason.” According to Mao Zedong's decision, the Central Military Commission determined the decision of "fighting but not boarding, sealing but not killing".The instructions of the Military Commission also required the frontline troops in Fujian: At present, it is necessary to reduce the military pressure on Jin and Ma so that the Jin, Ma and Chiang forces can survive.At the same time, it is also required to keep it in a state of tension, so that the United States cannot get out.In order to break the American cease-fire conspiracy, if necessary, I can still organize big fights like in the past.In short, it is up to me to adapt to the situation and take the initiative. At 2 a.m. on October 6, the "Message to Compatriots in Taiwan" drafted by Mao Zedong and published in the name of Defense Minister Peng Dehuai shocked people at home and abroad.The full text is as follows—— Fellow soldiers and civilians in Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu: All of us are Chinese.Thirty-six strategies, and the best strategy.The Golden Gate battle is of a punitive nature.Your leaders have been too rampant for a long time in the past, ordering planes to fly randomly to the mainland, as far as Yun, Guizhou, Sichuan, Kang, and Qinghai, handing out leaflets, dropping spies, bombing Fuzhou, and harassing Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Is it tolerable, which is unbearable?So fire some guns and get your attention.Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu are Chinese territories. You agree on this point. It can be seen from your leaders' proclamations that they are indeed not American territories.Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu are part of China, not another country.There is only one China in the world, not two Chinas.You also agree on this point, which can be seen in the proclamations of your leaders.The military agreement between your leaders and the Americans is one-sided. We do not accept it and should be abolished.The Americans will definitely abandon you one day.Don't you believe it?The giants of history will come out to prove it.Dulles's talk on September 30 has already seen the clues.Standing in your position, can you not be chilled?In the final analysis, US imperialism is our common enemy.The 130,000 soldiers and civilians in Quemoy are short of supplies, suffering from hunger and cold, and it is difficult to plan for a long time.For the sake of humanitarianism, I have ordered the Fujian front to stop shelling for seven days starting from October 6th. You can freely transport supplies, but on the condition that there will be no American escort.If there is an escort, this is not the case.The war between you and us has been going on for thirty years and it is not over yet, which is not good.It is recommended to hold negotiations and implement a peaceful settlement.Premier Zhou Enlai told you this a few years ago.This is an issue between you and us within China, not an issue between China and the United States.The U.S. occupation of Taiwan, Penghu and the Taiwan Strait is a matter of concern between China and the U.S., which should be settled through negotiations between the two countries, which are currently being held in Warsaw.The Americans always want to leave, and it is impossible not to leave.It is beneficial to go early in the United States because it can take the initiative.It is bad to be late, because it is always passive.Why did an Eastern Pacific country come to the Western Pacific?The Western Pacific is the Western Pacific of the Western Pacific people, just as the Eastern Pacific is the Eastern Pacific of the Eastern Pacific people.This is common sense, and Americans should understand it.There is no war between the People's Republic of China and the United States, and there is no such thing as a ceasefire.Isn't it a joke to talk about a ceasefire without fire?Friends in Taiwan, there is a flame of war among us, which should be stopped and extinguished.This requires negotiation.Of course, fighting for another 30 years is not a big deal, but after all, an early and peaceful settlement is more appropriate.Where to go, please decide. ——Peng Dehuai, Minister of National Defense of the People's Republic of China October 6, 1958 at one o'clock in the morning After this "Message to Compatriots in Taiwan" was published, the atmosphere on Kinmen Island immediately eased. More than 100,000 military and civilian turtles on the island have been hiding in damp and dark tunnels or underground bomb defense holes for more than 40 days. I feel relaxed and happy to be out in the sun.The Kuomintang army did not fire any artillery during these seven days. The most important thing was to rush to transport supplies, and they brought in the 203mm long-range heavy artillery known as the "Big Mac". The United States responded by expressing "welcome" and announcing the suspension of escorts from the 8th.However, Chiang Kai-shek was very worried that Peng Dehuai's announcement would affect the support of the United States, so he said that "he would rather take the risk of continuing the bombardment blockade than withdraw from the escort by the US allies."Chiang Kai-shek also sent more than 100 planes to the mainland to harass the mainland on October 10th, the "Double Tenth Day". Three were shot down by the PLA, and the PLA lost one.Since then, the Kuomintang fighter planes have retreated beyond the coastline of Fujian, and basically no longer enter the sky over the mainland. At midnight on October 12, the seven-day moratorium on shelling expired.The Golden Gate defenders and residents all hid in tunnels and caves.In the early morning of the 13th, the Fujian Front Radio Station broadcast Peng Dehuai's order to the Fujian Front Liberation Army, which was also written by Mao Zedong.The full text of the command is as follows: Comrades of the People's Liberation Army on the front line in Fujian: Kinmen shelling, starting from the home country, will stop for another two weeks, so as to observe the enemy's dynamics, and make the Kinmen soldiers and civilians fully supplied, including food and military equipment, so that they can stick to it.Soldiers never tire of cheating, this is not cheating.This is for the Americans.This is a national cause, and the boundaries between China and the United States must be clearly drawn.When we do this, overall speaking, it does not harm ourselves and benefits others.Who is it good for?It is beneficial to the 10 million Chinese in Taiwan, Penghu, Jinan, and Ma, and the 650 million people of the whole nation, but it is not beneficial to the Americans.Some Communists may not yet understand this truth.How did you come up with such an idea?s!Comrades, you will understand after a while.Americans staying in Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait must go back.There is no reason for them to stay there, and it is impossible not to leave.Among the Chinese in Taiwan, Penghu, Jin, and Ma, there are many patriots and few traitors.Therefore, political work must be done to gradually awaken the majority of the Chinese there and isolate the few traitors.With time, the results will be seen.Until the Kuomintang in Taiwan holds peace talks with us and obtains a reasonable solution, the civil war will still exist.The spokesperson of Taiwan said: Stop fighting, stop fighting, it is just a trick of the Communist Party.Stop and beat; it is true, but it is not a trick.You don't want to fight with Huo, fighting is inevitable.While you are adopting the current stubborn attitude, we have the freedom to fight and stop if we want.The Americans wanted to insert a year into our country's civil war, and they called a ceasefire, which made people laugh.What qualifications do Americans have to talk about this issue?Who do they represent?means nothing.Do they represent Americans?China and the United States are not at war, and there is no fire to stop.Do they represent Taiwanese?The Taiwan authorities did not issue them a letter of appointment, and the leaders of the Kuomintang opposed the Sino-US talks at all.The American nation is a great nation, and its people are good.They do not want war, they welcome peace.But some U.S. government staff, such as Dulles and his like, are really not very clever.That is to say, the so-called ceasefire is a lack of common sense?It is the sacred task of our 650 million people to recover Taiwan, Penghu, Jin, and Matsu in their entirety and complete the reunification of the motherland.This is China's internal affairs, and outsiders have no right to interfere, nor the United Nations.All the aggressors and their lackeys in the world will be buried, and it won't be long.They must not escape.Even if they want to hide in the moon.Kou can go, so can I, and I can always be caught.In a word, victory belongs to the people of the whole world.Americans are not allowed to escort the Kinmen waters.If there is an escort, fire immediately, strictly follow this order! Defense Minister Peng Dehuai October 13, 1958 at 1:00 am Two weeks after Peng Dehuai's statement announced the cessation of shelling, the US officially claimed that it was its tough policy that brought peace in the Taiwan Strait.On the one hand, the United States demanded a "permanent ceasefire" during the Sino-US talks in Warsaw;On October 19, the U.S. Seventh Fleet sent four warships into the waters of Kinmen to escort the Kuomintang army's transport convoy. Visit Taiwan's appeasement "gift" to Chiang Kai-shek.Eisenhower sent Dulles to visit Taiwan on October 21 for talks with Chiang Kai-shek. In view of the fact that the U.S. escort violated the regulations and Dulles was about to arrive in Taipei, Mao Zedong ordered to bombard the whole gate again at 4:00 pm on October 20, hitting three transport ships, a large cargo ship and a C-46 of the Kuomintang army. Transport aircraft.Dulles was flying over his base in Alaska from Washington when the shelling began.The heavy bombardment resumed by the Communist Party made it difficult for Dulles to complete the mission of going to Taipei to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to withdraw his troops from Jin and Ma.Eisenhower thought about it for a while, and asked him to continue to go. The content of the discussion with Chiang Kai-shek could be adjusted due to the bombardment.When Dulles arrived in Taipei, compared with the previous Dulles visit to Taiwan, the reception in Taiwan was colder and the standard was lowered. Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling did not greet him at the airport.During Dulles' stay in Taiwan, the sound of gold and horse cannons continued.This is actually Mao Zedong helping Chiang Kai-shek refuse to withdraw troops from Jin and Ma. During the talks between Dulles and Chiang Kai-shek, Dulles still insisted that Chiang Kai-shek withdraw the troops stationed in Kinmen and Matsu and stop using force against the mainland, resulting in a de facto ceasefire and separation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.The two sides clashed, and Chiang Kai-shek replied angrily: "I will not withdraw my troops while I am alive!" Finally, the two sides made concessions to reach a compromise.The United States no longer asked Chiang Kai-shek to withdraw from Jin and Ma, and agreed to increase aid to Taiwan; Chiang Kai-shek promised to "reduce Jin and Ma's garrison" and no longer use force against the mainland.The two sides signed a communiqué before Dulles left the stage on the 23rd.However, for the article "non-use of force" in the communiqué, the Chinese version published by Taiwan has a slightly different meaning from the English version published by the United States.The English version is "not the use of force", which clearly means "not to use force".The Chinese text reads "not by force".The full text of this article in Chinese is as follows: The government of the Republic of China believes that restoring the freedom of the mainland people is its sacred mission, and believes that the foundation of this mission is established in the hearts of the Chinese people, and the main way to achieve this mission is to implement Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles, not by force . The United States was very satisfied with the joint communiqué, and Eisenhower believed that "it is in both his interest and our interest that Chiang abandon the armed offensive."The Taiwan authorities have tried to downplay the meaning of "without resorting to force".Ye Gongchao, Foreign Minister of the Taiwan authorities, explained to the reporters: "There is no country that maintains its military and 'renounces the use of force'." Some newspapers said that we "have given up the use of force", which is wrong.The military and political officials of the Kuomintang in Taiwan also set off a political storm, scolding the United States for oppressing Taiwan and demanding that Chiang Kai-shek "control his own destiny."Some even showed dissatisfaction with Chiang Kai-shek. Mao Zedong, who has been paying attention to the development of the situation, believes that Chiang Kai-shek suffered a little loss during the talks between Chiang and Du. Mao Zedong took the conflict between the United States and Chiang Kai-shek into consideration, and out of national justice, on October 25, the day after Dulles returned to Washington, Mao Zedong drafted the "Further Letter to Compatriots in Taiwan" in the name of Peng Dehuai. ,Published.He announced the policy of "one-day bombing and two-day non-hitting" against Kinmen and "four no-hitting" against airports, docks, beaches, and ships, and also expressed his willingness to provide supplies to his opponents. The statement said: Things are going well between our two parties.I have ordered the front line in Fujian not to hit the airport in Kinmen, the wharf in Liuluowan, the beach, or the boats every two days, so that the soldiers and civilians on the large and small Kinmen, Dadan, and Erdan islands are fully supplied. Including food, vegetables, cooking oil, fuel and military equipment, so that you can stick to it for a long time.If there is any shortage, as long as you open your mouth, we can supply it.Now is the time to turn an enemy into a friend.On single days, your ships and planes should not come.We don't necessarily have to fire guns on single days, but you don't come here to avoid possible losses.In this way, half of a month can be shipped, and the supply can be full.Some of you suspect that we want to break down the unity between your soldiers and civilians, between officers and soldiers.Compatriots, no, we want you to strengthen your unity so that you can act as one.Hitting and stopping, half-hitting and half-stop, is not a trick, but a normal product of the current specific circumstances.No attack on airports, piers, beaches, or ships is still conditional on not introducing American escorts.If there is an escort, this is not the case.During the talks between Jiang and Du, you suffered a little. You only had the right to speak on behalf of "Free China"; plus a small number of overseas Chinese, you were allowed to represent them.The Americans call you a little China.On October 23, the U.S. State Department published a talk that Dulles had prepared on October 16 with a reporter sent by a British broadcasting company. The talk was published as soon as Dulles took off from Taiwan.He said that he saw a Communist China, and said that this country did exist, and he was willing to deal with it, and so on.Thankfully, our country has been seen by an American master.This is a big China.Due to the situation, the Americans changed their policy and regarded you as a "de facto political unit", not as a country... There is only one China in the world, not two Chinas.We are in agreement on this.The American trick of forcing the creation of two Chinas will absolutely not be allowed to be realized by the entire Chinese people, including you and overseas Chinese.The present era is an era full of hope. All patriots have a way out. Don't be afraid of any imperialists.Of course, we do not advise you to immediately break with the Americans. It is unrealistic to think so.We just hope that you will not succumb to the pressure of the Americans, follow others, lose your sovereignty, and end up with no place to live, and be thrown into the sea.Our words are kind, not malicious, and you will gradually understand in the future. Since then, the two sides have exchanged artillery shells in Kinmen for a single day, which is already a symbolic exchange of fire.Although the two sides used live ammunition in their one-day bombardment, they almost always intentionally hit the other side's empty and uninhabited land, beaches, or unfortified hills, trying not to kill people. Because Chiang Kai-shek refused peace talks and the United States did not withdraw its troops from the Taiwan Strait for a long time, Mao Zedong took the initiative and in principle could not end the state of war against the Kuomintang army.This special artillery battle in the history of world wars has lasted symbolically for twenty years since 1959.This kind of bombardment is actually a way to maintain the bond between the mainland and Taiwan. Mao Zedong's proclamations and practices also made Chiang Kai-shek understand. Just after the "Golden Horse Crisis" ended, the Central Committee of the Kuomintang held a propaganda work meeting in Taipei, and realized that it had made a major mistake in the propaganda of the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. "Two Chinas".What is aggression? Only when two countries fight across the national border can it become "aggression".The exchange of fire between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Kinmen was all fighting in Chinese territory. It was just a continuation of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. There was no such thing as "aggression", let alone "territorial expansion by force".According to a report by Hong Kong's "Jing Bao" on October 23, 1958, since then, the Taiwan authorities have instructed all parties to "not follow the United States' nonsense" in relevant aspects. On February 2, 1959, when Mao Zedong addressed the Taiwan issue in his speech at the CCP Provincial and Municipal Party Committee Secretary Meeting, he said: "At this moment, does Taiwan still want Hu Shi, Chen Cheng, or Chiang Kai-shek? To choose between this, I think it is better to choose Taiwan." Chiang Kai-shek. Chen Cheng and Hu Shi have more contacts with the United States. It is better to have Chiang Kai-shek....Internationally, if the United Nations approves us to go, we will not go if there is him, and we will not go if there is a sports meeting. As for the president, it is still you Alright... You can not carry out reforms for ten or twenty years, but still stick to the Three People's Principles, engage in spies, oppose the Communist Party, and try your best to oppose it, as long as your gourd is hung on my waist and not on the waist of the United States. ...In history, regardless of China or foreign countries, everything that should not be negated... must be properly estimated." There was a historical comment that Mao Zedong's thought "was developed into a complete and systematic one by Deng Xiaoping 20 years later. One country, two systems' concept." Ye Fei, who directly directed the Kinmen artillery battle, also said: "Chairman Mao decided not to take Kinmen. Now it seems that there is an important reason, that is, to leave a channel for 'dialogue'. Later, when talking about 'three links', in fact, the front line and Kinmen They have already used various special forms to 'communicate'." Mao Zedong, who took the initiative in the struggle, did something hard to understand when he bombarded Quemoy in 1958, including many people in the party, but he finally foresighted, maneuvered, made the best use of the situation, seized the opportunity, and formed a powerful force in the complicated struggle. It has established a complete policy towards Taiwan and the coastal islands, and it is still having a beneficial impact so far. In Kinmen, the one-day bombardment continued until January 1, 1979, the day when the People's Republic of China and the United States of America formally established diplomatic relations.When the Taiwan authority's flag of blue sky and white sun was lowered from the flagpole in the Twin Oaks Park in Washington, Marshal Xu Xiangqian, Minister of Defense of the People's Republic of China, announced that from now on, the shelling of Quemoy and Matsu would stop. It is a pity that Mao Zedong did not see this day.
