Talk about liberation

Now, we live a happy life, but how did the happy life come from? Naturally, it is inseparable from the bloody sacrifice of revolutionary martyrs and the wise command of generals. Let's review a period of history and talk about the liberation of Hainan Island.

1. Why is Hainan difficult to liberate? Why is the landing time pushed again and again?

We know that after the Kuomintang fled the mainland, it could only occupy Taiwan Province Province and Hainan Island. Because of the natural barrier of the sea, these islands are easy to defend but difficult to attack. At that time, there were more than10,000 Kuomintang troops occupying Hainan Island, and the commander in chief was Xue Yue, a Kuomintang expert. It can be said that many soldiers will be strong.

In order to prevent our party from liberating Hainan Island, the cunning Kuomintang set up water obstacles to prevent our army from crossing the sea and landing. Most importantly, the Kuomintang Air Force also deployed four brigades and more than 40 fighters, bombers and transport planes on the island. The Third Fleet of the Kuomintang Navy is mainly deployed in Qiongzhou Strait, with more than 20 combat ships and more than 30 auxiliary ships. And we basically don't have an empty navy. If we want to cross the river, we must rely on sailboats.

This kind of power contrast is difficult to liberate Hainan Island. Before the liberation of Hainan, we tried to liberate Kinmen. As a result, three regiments of our army landed and fought, almost all of them were wiped out. Take a warning, it is more difficult to liberate Hainan.

Second, the liberation of Hainan, Han Xianchu and the Forty Army contributed greatly.

To talk about our country's war of liberation, we have to say that the four fields are strong and Ma Zhuang experts are like clouds, and the liberation of Hainan Island is naturally inseparable from the four fields of our heroes. Let's talk about the outstanding General Han Xianchu, the main force of liberating Hainan Island.

At that time, considering the failure to liberate Kinmen, the battle time was postponed again and again, and even considering the liberation of Hainan after buying landing craft, the landing time in Hainan would be postponed until June. If the general will definitely agree to avoid heavy casualties, Han Xianchu, deputy commander of the 12 Corps and commander of the 40th Army, thinks that it is good to buy landing craft to fight, but it will not be solved in a short time. It takes a long time to prepare. Sleeping deeply and changing frequently is not good for me. It is also difficult to refit motorized sailboats, which is a big problem that cannot be solved in a short time. Our foothold should be on a wooden sailboat. As long as we seize the opportunity and make full use of the wind direction and wind force, we will certainly be able to cross the Qiongzhou Strait. As for refitting robot ships, we should also seize the time and refit them as much as possible to ensure that some robot ships are used as command ships and some are equipped with artillery as escort ships. At the same time, it is believed that postponing the combat time to June will not only prolong the preparation time and relax the troops, but also miss the downwind period and delay the fighters.

General Han first wrote to Lin Biao, commander of the Four Fields, and Lin Biao persuaded Chairman Mao that the war to liberate Hainan Island finally began.

Third, achieve brilliant results and go down in history forever.

With the approval of the superior, our army smuggled in a small area first, but the effect was not great. Fearing that the enemy will be prepared, our army is preparing to cross the sea on a large scale. On April/KOOC-0/950 and/KOOC-0/6, Han Xianchu personally led 40 armies and 6 regiments/KOOC-0/8,000 people to take 26/KOOC-0/sailboat (including 22 motorized sailboats, 65,438). The 43rd Army's landing troops consisted of about 7,000 people in two regiments, led by Long, the deputy commander, and set out in 96 sailboats (including motorized sailboats 10 and 8 "earth gunboats").

Because the scale of this sea crossing operation is relatively large, it is impossible to hide. Kuomintang troops immediately dispatched troops to harass our troops crossing the sea. Although the Kuomintang army is well equipped, it is not allowed to shoot. Our troops have the spirit of not being afraid of death. The escort brigade composed of "local gunboats" fought them to the death and set fire to the Kuomintang warships. In this naval battle, due to our firm morale and heroic struggle, the Kuomintang did not interfere, and the senior commander personally supervised the battle.

Fourth, summary.

Finally, our army liberated Haikou on April 23rd, and Hainan Island was liberated on May 1 day. Without the 40th Army and Cyclone General Han Xianchu, Hainan might become Taiwan Province Province, which is another regret for us. It's interesting to recall this history.

Now our country is the second largest economy in the world, and its national strength is not what it used to be, but we should be grateful to these heroes and cherish today's hard-won day. Do you think so?
