Xi Yuanping

Dear leaders, guests, friends:

Today is a special day. Today, 70 years ago, Xi'an, a beautiful ancient city, returned to the people of the people with the rumbling sound of the people's Liberation Army attacking the vast area of Northwest China.This day is not easy. This ancient capital that can be returned to the people after the Thirteen Dynasties is the result of the long -term struggle for the people of the Northwest People's Communist Party to lead the people of the people of the Northwest.Today we commemorate this great day and remember the glorious performance of the ancestors of the revolutionary.

In February 1947, when Chiang Kai -shek commanded the Kuomintang Army to launch a key offensive to the Shandong Jiefang District and the Shaanxi -Gansu -Ningxian Border Area, the enemy's power was extremely different.In order to defend Yan'an and defend the Party Central Committee, the Northwest Field Army was formed on the basis of the Shaanxi -Gansu -Ningzi Federation of Defense Forces. The number of people was only 25,000, and there were as many as 250,000 KMT troops attacked by the Shaanxi -Gansu -Ningxin border area.In order to achieve the final victory, Chairman Mao's Central Committee took the initiative to evacuate Yan'an.Before the evacuation of Yan'an, the last order issued by Mao Zedong was commanded by the various troops of Shaanxi -Gansu -Ningxin Border Area from now on.Commanders fight against the Kuomintang army of Yan'an.When he received an order and rushed back to Yan'an from the front line of Ganquan, Chairman Mao's Central Committee had not left Yan'an.After everyone persuaded, Mao Zedong reluctantly left Yan'an. At that time, the Kuomintang army was very close to Yan'an, and he could hear the sound of guns on the battlefield in Wangjiaping.

On the basis of Shaanxi -Gansu -Ning Sui Lianlian Defense Forces, the newly established Northwest Field Army was served as commander and political commissar and Zhang Zongxun as deputy commander of the Northwest Field Army.At that time, Chairman Mao's consideration was hellip; hellip; Peng Dehuai was the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army. He took the initiative to command the attack on the Northwest Field Army to meet the Kuomintang Army's attack on the Shaanxi -Gansu -Ningxian area, and told the Party Central Committee that if Comrade He Long obeyed from the Jinsui base in Jinsui Base LandBack to northern Shaanxi, he was willing to give command to He Long.

From March 1947 to May 1947, in just three months, my father co -commanded Peng Dehuai to command the Northwest Field Army to achieve the three two two games of Qinghua, Yangma River, and Panlong.In the east and north of Yulin, he had a fierce battle with the Kuomintang Army with the land of the Loess Plateau in the east and north. In less than half a year, it reversed the war situation in northern Shaanxi.

After Qing Huajie, Mao Zedong called Peng Dehuai, He Long, and Xi Zhongxun: The central government decided that hundreds of people did not leave in northern Shaanxi. The people here are good at hello; hellip; this is a great strategic choice, which also shows that as the People's Liberation ArmyMao Zedong, the highest commander of the commander and the heroic spirit of fearlessness.Bob Wang Shitai recalled decades later that Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee stayed in northern Shaanxi. This was a risk.Walking, greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of military and civilians in the liberation areas across the country; from a military perspective, only more than 20,000 people in the northern Shaanxi battlefield dragged the Kuomintang Chiang Kai -shek's more than 300,000 elite troops to form the formation of our army in North China and East China battlefields.Powerful strategic support.Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Ren Bishi led the Central Organ to move in danger many times during the war in northern Shaanxi. At the most critical point, they were only a few miles away from the Kuomintang army.Because of the safety of Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee, Uncle Peng Dehuai and my father did not close their eyes for two days and two nights, and they were relieved until they were out of danger.

My father once recalled that when he attacked Yulin for the first time, it was in the summer, and the troops traced in the desert Gobi in the scorching sun for the first time. Many soldiers died unfortunately due to heat stroke and lack of water.President Peng and my father often leave the last water to the wounded.The comrades of the authorities in charge of the authorities quietly bought a few cucumbers for the heads, but were criticized by Peng Dehuai's extremely severe criticism. Because the heads of the heads, some cadres would rather leaving the water to the soldiers for drinking horse urine.After the victory troops, they sometimes sent some warriors to the field of the field. President Peng and my father always refused.Several captured Kuomintang generals saw the excellent style of the Northwest Field Army, and the officers and soldiers were absolutely equal. They said with emotion that we finally knew why we were defeated by the Communist Army.

The Northwest Field Army not only achieved its military glorious victory on the Northwest battlefield, but also created many good experience in political work.The new troop movement with the content of Sanyi and Sanzhao quickly improved the awareness of the liberation soldiers. Many captured Kuomintang soldiers joined the PLA and even became the main force of some troops.

After the death of his father, the central government wrote for his life as the leader of our party and our army's outstanding political work.The construction of the real work in political work has given a high evaluation, and it is also related to their political work experience in the Northwest battlefield.

After the Xiaohe meeting, my father was appointed as the Minan -Gansu -Ningzi Jinsui Defense Military and Political Commissar to cooperate with He Long's comprehensive coordination to work.Uncle Peng Dehuai and Uncle He Long, one is 15 years older than my father, and one is 17 years older than my father. They are well -known military commanders who have been tested by the revolutionary war., Formed a deep fighting friendship.My father often told us the touching story of fighting side by side.Unfortunately, the two marshals of my father's leadership, comrades and brothers were persecuted and killed in the Cultural Revolution.After my father came out to work again, it was difficult to suppress the sadness and anger in his heart, and wrote a touching article for them.During his father, while serving as a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, he always cared about the relatives of Peng Dehuai and Uncle He Long.When I went to Hunan to study in 1987, I also made a special trip to Sang Zhi, Uncle He Long's hometown, visited the He Long Memorial Hall and inscribed the inscription.In August 2009, Uncle He Long's ashes returned to his hometown from Beijing to place his hometown. On behalf of the whole family, I went to Helong Park, Zhangjiajie, Zhangjiajie, Xiangxi to participate in the ashes of Uncle He Long.

The process of liberation in the northwest is difficult.On April 16, 1948, Peng Dehuai reported to the Central Military Commission to launch the battle of Xifu.Due to the insufficient attention to the enemy's situation in tactics, this battle did not achieve the expected purpose, and the troops were large.But strategically succeeded, disrupted Hu Zongnan's deployment, and our army recovered Yan'an.On April 24th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China gave Peng Dehuai, He Long, Lin Boqu, Xi Zhongxun, and all the Northwest People's Liberation Army.Zhifa Congratulations: Celebrate your great victory in Hellip; Hellip; continue to work hard to eliminate all bandits and liberate the entire northwest!

After the battle of Xifu, the First Field Army held a previous committee to expand the meeting in Tuji Town, Luochuan to conduct training on the troops.Peng Dehuai specially called He Long and Xi Zhongxun and asked them to come to the former committee to expand the meeting.Most of the main forces of the First Field Army belonged to the Eighth Route Army's 2012 Division during the Anti -Japanese War.He Long pulled my father to visit the troops. In the face of some generals' dissatisfaction with the battle and command agency, He Long said seriously that He Long did not have his own team. All troops must obey the party's command.But it is absolutely not allowed to talk about the party's leadership behind it!

Through the entire training, the First Field Army entered a new battle.He successively won the 1948 winter offensive and the spring offensive of 1949. At this time, the First Field Army had been soldiers and pushed into the city of Xi'an.

On the eve of the people's liberation war, the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held in Xibaipo.Mao Zedong called Peng Dehuai, He Long, Xi Zhongxun, and Wang Zhen, and asked them to attend the meeting.This is an important meeting held by the Communist Party of China at the great turning point. The plenary session focused on the strategic transfer of the party's focus on the focus of work, that is, the focus of the work focus from the countryside to the city.After the meeting, President Peng rushed to the front line of Taiyuan to assist Xu Xiangqian, who was sick, commanded the battle of Taiyuan. President He went to Peiping to solve the second round of negotiations in Suiyuan.Spirit.My father announced the good news of the 18th Corps and the Nineteenth Corps in Shaanxi in the summary speech. They called on the majority of soldiers to take time to conduct military training, prepare grain and grass, prepare for suffering, fight against each other, liberate Xi'an, liberate the Northwest of the Northwest to the Northwest NorthwestIntersection

On May 11, the First Field Army launched the Central Shaanxi Battle.The a month of Shaanxi Battle liberated the vast area of Guanzhong Plain on both sides of the Weihe River, and successively liberated the 24 county towns of Xianyang, Weinan, Gaoling, Sanyuan, and Fuping.Liberated Xi'an in the northwest.Not long ago, I saw a 70 -year -old mass daily newspaper. There was an important news on it: the Northwest People's Leader, the responsible comrades of the party and government and the army, Xi Zhongxun, secretary of the Northwest Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, commander of the Northwest Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Xi'an Military Control CommitteeDirector He Long and Ma Mingfang, Liu Jingfan, Zhao Shoushan, etc. have all arrived in Xi'an.They are concerned about the life of workers, students and people from all walks of life under the oppression of Jianghu Group.The people of the city heard their leaders arrived in Xi'an and would meet with the public for the first time, which was very excited.

Shortly after the liberation of Xi'an, our army was not stable. At this time, the south of Hu Zong and Qinghai Ma Bufang, and the Mahongye Department of Ningxia, who had advantageous troops, jointly counterattacked Xi'an, and the situation was very critical.At that time, some comrades had doubts about whether they could keep Xi'an. My father told everyone the story of Li Huchen and Yang Hucheng's two tigers in history. It encouraged everyone to say that there was President Peng and President He, and Hima was not talking.The Northwest Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held an emergency meeting with the former Field Army. Peng Dehuai, He Long, Xi Zhongxun, Zhang Zongxun, Zhao Shoushan, etc. attended the meeting.President Peng decided to adhere to Xi'an and Xianyang, use solid urban defense to consume the enemy, and concentrate on the opportunity to fight the enemy. After all the 18th Corps and the Nineteenth Corps arrived, they concentrated the main force to wipe out the enemy near Xi'an.With the 18th Corps and the Nineteenth Corps, they successively entered Shaanxi to fight, giving Ma Jiajun a headache, and quickly reversed the battlefield situation.

In the historical process of Xi'an Liberation and the entire northwest liberation, the comrades of the underground party of the Communist Party of China played a huge role.Comrade Wang Chaobei and Li Maotang, who were appointed as the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau after the liberation of Xi'an, are such unknown heroes.The head of the Xi'an Military Intelligence Team led by the Northwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China, Montding the Monning Army, and Yang Yindong, who work in the Command of the Seventh Supply of the Kuomintang, closely cooperated to provide a large number of valuable military intelligence for the First Field Army to make the liberation of the Northwest of the Great NorthwestIncredible contribution.To this end, Zhou Enlai has rewarded 50 two golds in the Xi'an Military Intelligence Group through the Northwest Bureau.After the Battle of the Yiva, the Luchen Intelligence Group, who had contacted the Northwest Bureau, was an intelligence team composed of reporters from the south of the Kuomintang Army Hu Zong. It also provided a large number of important military intelligence to the First Field Army.When the first party congress of the First Field Army was held in Baishui Wuzhuang Town, President Peng saw my father and Zhao Baping, praising the information work under their leadership.

For the establishment of the Liberation of Xi'an and the establishment of New China, countless benevolence and revolutionary martyrs paid the price of blood and life. They once launched the Xi'an Incident with Zhang Xueliang and promoted the second -time cooperation of the Kuomintang.The blood pool of the reactionary assassination.After the liberation of Xi'an, General Yang Hucheng moved from Chongqing to Xi'an. My father organized people from all walks of life in Xi'an to hold a grand sacrifice event for General Yang Hucheng.For those martyrs who sacrificed heroically in the Revolutionary War, my father always missed it. He personally hosted the commemorative pavilion and monument of the Martyr Wang Taiji who died in the Xi'an Revolutionary Park for the Land Revolutionary War.After receiving adoption at home, and renamed him Xu Republic.To commemorate the liberation of Xi'an, many roads and buildings named after liberation can still evoke people's memories of that year.

In the early days of Xi'an's liberation, enemy special activities were rampant and the people lived hard. The Northwest Bureau and the Xi'an Military Management Association quickly organized social security, restored production, and rehearsed prices.Xi'an Nianzhuang and others have resumed business one after another, and also took over some progressive literary and artistic groups such as Xiangyu Opera Society and Yi Fulun Club.

The old artist of the Yulun Club once recalled that at the celebration held by the Xi'an Military Management Association, my father entered the venue and saw the venue of the venue saying that the word Yishashe said, and immediately criticized it. This should not be called to take over.Only by pseudo -pseudo -institutions can we take care of it. Progressive literary and artistic groups such as the Yulun Club can only be called to take over. Our Communist Party will continue to do it better!

During the liberation of Xi'an, my father was busy with work and couldn't care about his family at all.One month after Xi'an was liberated, my mother went to Xi'an with the last batch of Northwest Bureau of the Northwest Bureau who left Yan'an. My sister was born shortly at the time. My mother took her alone on the luggage pile of the large truck cargo box, topped her.With the scorching sun in the early summer, he went to Xi'an all the way.Due to the exposure all the way, I couldn't drink water, my sister had a heat stroke and a fever, almost shock.In Bai Shui, it was too much to slow down under the care of the county party secretary Xue and Ji.Although his father couldn't care about the small family, he remembered the warmth of the poor people of Xi'an.One day when he passed the gate, he found that the displaced people lived on the roots of the city walls, and their lives were very miserable. At the same time, they also destroyed cultural relics and historic sites. They immediately instructed to properly resettle these people.At that time, the guards who followed them recalled that those caves were filthy and no one wanted to go in, but Secretary Xi got into the cold and asked cold.

On the way to Xinjiang in the first field army and the Northwest Military Region, the birth of New China ushered in.Peng Dehuai, He Long, and Xi Zhongxun are members of the newly elected Central People's Government Committee and members of the People's Revolutionary Military Committee of the Central People's Government.The former Northwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China and the former Field Army decided to send leading comrades such as He Long, Wang Shitai and other leading comrades to participate in the founding ceremony, and entrusted my father to preside over the Northwest Bureau meeting.The Kuomintang Twenty -two Army Commander left the Communist Party and went to Beijing to participate in the founding ceremony.Although my father and Peng Dehuai were busy with military and government affairs and did not go to Beijing to participate in the founding ceremony, Mao Zedong decided to announce the name of the Central People's Government Committee, including the establishment of the Central People's Government on the establishment of the People's Government of Tiananmen.EssenceFifty years later, his father attended the 50th anniversary of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. He looked at the happy crowd on Tiananmen Square, and said his words of his heart to the central leaders who came to visit him: the people are Jiangshan, and Jiangshan is the people!

In December 1949, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China approved the establishment of the Northwest Military and Political Committee.General Zhang Zhizhong has long held the Northwest Military and Political Division for a long time. He knows the situation of the ethnic minorities in the Northwest. My father not only asked him with an open mind, but also politically harmonized himGive him care and care for him.When I went to Beijing to return to Xi'an, I always asked Zhang Zhizhong to convey the spirit of the meeting, and taking a group photo always let him sit in the middle.Once they went out together, Uncle Zhang Zhizhong's car fell into the ditch. My father saw it on the car behind him and immediately got out of the car to help the car with the guards.

His father was concerned about the Northwest, and he always cared about the development and construction of Xi'an.As early as 1959, Premier Zhou Enlai agreed to include the ancient city walls of Xi'an into the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.In the early days of reform and opening up, he had repeatedly instructed the relevant departments of Xi'an with Ma Wenru to protect the cultural relics and monuments including Xi'an City Wall.

Today's Xi'an, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, after 70 years of struggle, 70 years of construction has become a bright pearl on the starting point of the Belt and Road Initiative.The international metropolis has moved steadily.

On the occasion of the 70th birthday of the People's Republic of China, we gathered in the care and support of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government of the Communist Party of China and the leaders of the Xi'an Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.The glorious performance of the field army and the Northwest Military Region liberated Xi'an is both a memory of history and a memory of history.

Here, I would like to give the most lofty respect to all revolutionary ancestors who contributed to the establishment of New China!And on behalf of my mother, I sent the most cordial greetings to the father and fellows of Shaanxi!The leaders of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government participating in this event, the leaders of the Xi'an Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and expressed their sincere greetings to the guests and friends of the news media!

thank you all!
