Six years later, at 2:00 a.m. on August 1, 1927, the former enemy committee headed by Zhou Enlai and CCP leaders such as He Long, Ye Ting, Zhu De, and Liu Bocheng led more than 20,000 soldiers of the former Volunteer Army. In order to fight once morest Chiang Kai-shek’s Nanjing National Government The CCP’s encirclement and suppression, the uprising in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, formally established the armed forces led by the CCP, which is the origin of the People’s Liberation Army.
On June 15, 1949, the Chinese People’s Revolutionary Military Commission issued an order stipulating that the word “August 1” should be used as the main symbol of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s flag and military emblem. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China on October 1 of the same year, this anniversary was renamed the Founding Day of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.
In 1895, the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Fleet was destroyed, and the Westernization Movement completely failed.
In the next 10 years, under the constant encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang army, the People’s Liberation Army not only survived, but also developed and expanded.
Then in 1937, when Japan invaded China, the People’s Liberation Army entered the War of Resistance Against Japan. After 8 years of war of resistance, the Chinese and Communist troops successfully defeated the Japanese invaders in 1945. Some people say that Japan lost and surrendered because of the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I would say that if there is no Chinese army dragging the Japanese army to death on the Chinese battlefield, if China falls quickly, maybe the war situation of World War II will be rewritten. .
Immediately following the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the PLA was plunged into a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but within four years, it had already defeated the Kuomintang army, forcing Chiang Kai-shek’s regime to retreat to Taiwan. 22 years following the founding of the army, the whole of China was liberated. The rapid rise of the People’s Liberation Army has attracted worldwide attention.
But less than a year following the founding of New China, the Korean War broke out in June 1950, and the People’s Liberation Army fought once morest the United States and aided Korea, and plunged into the extremely difficult three-year war. This time, I met a stronger opponent, the United States, the world’s largest power.
As a result, in the three years of fighting, the PLA fought many key battles in Shangganling and other key battles. The fighting was very moving, and finally forced the United States to sign the Korean Armistice Agreement in Panmunjom on July 27, 1953. Bevin Alexander, an American military-turned-historian, wrote in North Korea—Our First Defeat: “What is most depressing is that the Red Chinese used pitifully few weapons, and The laughable primitive supply system actually contained the world’s number one power, the United States, which has a large number of modern technologies, advanced industries and cutting-edge weapons.” This year marks the 26th anniversary of China’s founding of the army, and it has entered the world’s highest-level military confrontation.
Sometimes when I look back at history, I find it a little bit fragmented, and I always want to catch a little bit of context in it.
Looking at the 26-year history of the People’s Liberation Army, and seeing the biggest feature, you will find that she is always winning more with less, and winning with weak. During the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the PLA was encircled and hunted down many times. During the Long March, there were only thousands of fragmented troops. In the end, not only might they escape from the tiger’s mouth, but they might turn defeat into victory. Japan invaded China, and the People’s Liberation Army was far behind the Japanese army in terms of numbers and equipment, but in the end it was able to hold its ground and wait for the dawn. Into the Korean War, no one would be optimistic regarding the PLA, the iron and steel division that can resist the US military.
It’s not surprising that more wins than less. The weak overcome the strong, which is precious. The way to win, in addition to the PLA’s sword spirit, which is not afraid of hardship and death, is believed to be the result of the CCP’s socialist ideology and strong militarized organization.
A best-selling book written by American scholar William Endor: “Target China: Washington’s “Dragon Slaying” Strategy”, which exposes the various ways that the US ruling clique isolates China in international politics and economy, creates crises, and wants to stifle China’s development. Conspiracy.
However, in 1950, when China was poor and poor, and its military equipment was extremely backward, China might win the Korean War; now the People’s Liberation Army has become the second most powerful army in the world, and of course it has the ability to cope with greater challenges.
It is an uneasy truth through the ages.
