Why did you shell Jinmen?

1, captured Jinmen

At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau held on August 23rd, Mao Zedong said simply: Our demand is that American troops withdraw from Taiwan Province Province and Chiang Kai-shek withdraw from Kinmen and Matsu. If you don't withdraw, I will fight. "

2. Prevent Taiwan independence

Ye Fei, a general of the People's Liberation Army, later recalled that the Golden Gate artillery battle was not to capture the Golden Gate, but a political battle. In 2009, Ta Kung Pao also claimed that one of the purposes of this war was to prevent the "Taiwan independence" from growing.

3. Support the Middle East

1958 July 18, China held an emergency enlarged meeting in the Central Military Commission. Mao Zedong announced at the meeting: "There is a place in the world called the Middle East, which has been very lively recently, making our Far East not peaceful;" We can't just watch people sing big plays. The Politburo has made a decision-fire at Kinmen! "

Mao Zedong said that the people of China marched in the streets to support "the anti-aggression of the people in the Middle East" morally and politically, but only moral support is not enough. We must take practical actions to attack the Matsu area in Kinmen and contain the American troops in the Far East.
