Kneel down and pray for a composition on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Shanghai! !

1. March into Shanghai City

In May 1949, in order to defeat the Tang Enbo Group's 25th Division of the 8th Army, which retreated to Shanghai and its surrounding areas, about 200,000 people were mobilized.

The two huge red arrows on the "Battle Map for the Liberation of Shanghai" mark the strength of the 8th Army of our 9th and 12th Corps of the Three Fields, which are fighting with great strength from The Pudong and Puxi wings launched a pincer attack against the enemy defenders at Wusong Fortress.

The heads of the Central Military Commission and the General Front Committee ordered the troops to attack Shanghai. Shouxian attacked Wusongkou from both wings in a roundabout way, cutting off the enemy's escape route from the sea, creating a trap of catching turtles in a jar. Then our troops on the western front took advantage of it. Sheng drove straight into the city, cooperated with the Eastern Front troops to attack the city, and liberated Shanghai in one fell swoop.

“To capture this turtle, we must not only fight a military battle, but more importantly, we must fight a political battle. We must master the city’s policies and politically disintegrate and eliminate the enemy; Keep the city intact...".

Shanghai is my country's largest industrial city, the birthplace of our party and the cradle of the Chinese working class. But Shanghai is also an important base for imperialism to oppress our people for a hundred years. The Kuomintang reactionaries have used it to carry out anti-people wars for decades. Now, Shanghai is about to return to the hands of the people; from our successive victories, we have seen the collapse of the rule of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and we have seen that New China has burst forth. How could this not make him extremely excited and excited!

At 7:00 pm on May 27, after three days and three nights of urban fighting, all of Shanghai was liberated. The "adventurer's paradise" of yesteryear is gone forever! Now it has been completely returned to the hands of the people, and stands on the shore of the East China Sea of ??the motherland with a brand-new attitude.

3. The People's Liberation Army camping has become a big news in Shanghai

Residents on both sides of the road were affected by the old social saying that "good iron cannot be nailed, and good men cannot be soldiers". They can't help but be afraid of the troops on the sidewalk, and secretly peek through the doors, windows or through the cracks in the doors to spy on the actions of these strangers. To their surprise, no one knocked on the door and entered the house. At midnight on the third night, the army officers and soldiers lay down quietly on the street. Occasionally, there are one or two people who wake up from the cold. They get up and stamp their feet, and then lie down quietly again after a while. The residents became curious from the snoring they heard, and after daybreak, the truth came out. Groups of men, women, and children approached, with expressions of surprise and respect, watching the soldiers get up from the cement floor, beat their numb legs, pack their bags, and then sit peacefully on their backpacks. There are more and more people on the street, surrounding the troops. They can't help but feel curious: Are these soldiers the People's Liberation Army fighting in Shanghai? Everything felt new to them, and they couldn't help walking up to them and asking:

"What are the branches with leaves on your packages?"

"It's tied with branches and bamboo poles. What are the hard bags used for?”

“Why are the soles of your shoes so thick?”

“Why do the military shoes made by the northern lady look like ships? Why are there little hooks on the toes? "

"Why don't you live in the house?"

The soldiers explained to them patiently, while talking and gesticulating. With.

They understood and were satisfied, but they still had many novel questions...

When breakfast was served, they had to eat dry food because the kitchen in Pudong had not yet sent food. The soldiers poured the browned fried rice from the rice bags into their mouths and swallowed it. But they couldn't swallow it, so they opened the kettle and took a few sips of cold water, eating and drinking at the same time. The citizens frowned and asked the People's Liberation Army to go to his house to wash their faces and drink tea. Some quietly brought hot water bottles for the soldiers to drink, and some even brought bread, but they were all declined politely. The crowd said unhappily:

"We sent it sincerely, why don't you accept it?"

"Thank you! Please don't be polite. The discipline of the People's Liberation Army is not to take a shot from the masses. Therefore, we can’t accept it at all!”

“Comrade of the People’s Liberation Army, you didn’t ask for this, we sent it voluntarily!” The masses continued to demand.

"Thank you for your kindness. Although we did not receive anything from you, we are still grateful to you!"

At that time, although the people expressed understanding, they were always uneasy in their hearts. Some are admiring, some are shaking their heads, and some have shed tears. The enthusiasm of the citizens also moved the troops, and the soldiers expressed their feelings with songs:

Every revolutionary soldier must remember the three major disciplines and eight points of attention.

......

Singings resounded across the road, and the masses paid tribute to the People's Liberation Army with warm applause. The emotions of citizens and soldiers blended together. Mr. Chen's requirement for the troops to strictly abide by the discipline when entering the city was fully realized. This is the best greeting gift from the People's Liberation Army to the citizens of Shanghai.

The martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the liberation of Shanghai will live forever!
