    1955 is a year worth remembering for both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.  Especially for the Kuomintang regime, the Battle of Yijiangshan Island at the beginning of the year also became a heartbreaking final song.

    Perhaps to express dissatisfaction with the alliance between the Kuomintang regime and the United States, or perhaps to break the need for the national army to block the coast, just after New Year's Day of this year, the People's Liberation Army adopted a coordinated operation of the navy, army and air force for the first time.  , launched an attack on the Taizhou Islands off the coast of Zhejiang occupied by the Kuomintang army. Yijiangshan Island is located at the forefront of the Taizhou Islands close to the mainland, so seizing this island has become the top priority of this battle.  There are more than a thousand national army officers and soldiers stationed on Yijiangshan Island. In fact, these troops are just some miscellaneous troops who fled here from the mainland. Under the leadership of the garrison commander Wang Shengming, they fought very tenaciously and the battle was very fierce.  , even the People's Liberation Army did not expect that this group of rabble would have such high combat effectiveness. Because they underestimated the enemy in advance, they suffered heavy casualties.  The two sides fought fiercely for a day. In the end, due to the disparity in strength, except for a few personnel of the Kuomintang defenders who escaped, most of the personnel were either killed or captured. The garrison commander Wang Shengming committed suicide by drinking a bullet. The People's Liberation Army finally successfully occupied Yijiangshan Island.

    After the fall of Yijiangshan Island, there was a discussion within the national army as to whether it was necessary to hold on to Dachen Island, but in the end they decided to give up. Naturally, one of the reasons for this decision was that the Americans did not want to get involved in the Taiwan-Penghu conflict.  In the island dispute, in order to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to abandon this island far away from Taiwan, they finally agreed to help the national army defend Kinmen Island in exchange. In desperation, the Kuomintang government had no choice but to make the decision to abandon Dachen Island.

    On February 5, with the assistance of the US Seventh Fleet, tens of thousands of residents on Dachen Island, together with the Kuomintang troops, evacuated the island, which they had wanted to use as a bridgehead for their counterattack on the mainland. This actually meant that the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party  The last battle is over.  In fact, when the Kuomintang was preparing to withdraw, the People's Liberation Army's frontline headquarters had planned to attack halfway. However, because the Americans had warned the Soviet Union in advance, telling them that if the People's Liberation Army attacked the Kuomintang army when it was retreating, it would mean attacking the United States.  declare war.  It was precisely because of the Soviet Union's intervention that the People's Liberation Army ultimately did not take action when the Kuomintang evacuated from Dachen Island.  For the People's Liberation Army, it can occupy Dachen Island without firing a shot, so why not?

    It was also this year that for the mainland, there was an unforgettable memory. Although the Taizhou Islands were captured at the beginning of the year, God didn't seem to care that the world had changed and it still continued ruthlessly.  .  After summer, rains continued in the Yangtze River Basin, and flood peaks came one after another, lasting for a hundred days. As a result, this once-in-a-century flood destroyed countless fertile fields and crops in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the province.  Tens of millions of people were displaced and homeless, causing more than 33,000 deaths. Although this number is large, it is compared to the 145,000 people who died in the 1931 flood.  , already much less.  After the flood, the land was completely silent, especially in the two lakes area. For a long time, people were unable to return to their hometowns, and refugees abounded.

    This year also has an unusual significance for the people's armed forces led by the Communist Party of China. On the occasion of the sixth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Party Central Committee decided to honor the commanders of the People's Liberation Army. This is like an unprecedented event.  Like the heroes who were granted imperial titles during the founding of the country in past dynasties, many people were excited.

    The process of being awarded the title was a bit dramatic. Many generals and chiefs who were not afraid of death during the war years were quarreling over this title. Some people were crying and clamoring to fight for it for themselves, but there were also others.  However, he was humble and humble. Finally, after intense discussions and weighing interests, the central government decided to award ten marshals, ten generals, generals, lieutenant generals and major generals.  In fact, at the beginning of the awarding of titles, someone suggested that Mao Zedong should be awarded the military rank of Grand Marshal, and Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping should also be awarded the rank of Marshal. However, this plan was rejected by Mao Zedong. After his proposal, it was finally determined that those who had served for a long time in the past were  Leaders who hold leadership positions in the army but later transfer to local work are not evaluated, so even high-ranking leaders like Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping will not be awarded titles.

    Liu Xinghua completely separated from the military. After serving as secretary of the Western Yunnan Working Committee for a long time, he was transferred to the provincial committee as the deputy governor in charge of economic work. Zhang Yi also  He retired before, and after his retirement, Liu Xinghua arranged to serve as deputy county magistrate in a county in western Yunnan. The main purpose was to familiarize him with local work. After all, local work is far more complex and detailed than military work.  Far more, it is not just any regiment-level officer who changes his career.Those who are competent, ordinary people are not soldiers, they can be persuaded through orders and training.

    Beginning in 1953, the country began to implement the first five-year plan. The work Liu Xinghua was responsible for was naturally to resume production and economic activities in the province as soon as possible while ensuring the safety of the province.  .  It is for this purpose. In fact, before this, when Liu Xinghua was just transferred to the Provincial Party Committee, he strongly demanded at the provincial work meeting that the focus of work should be changed from suppressing the counter-revolutionary movement and the Three Antis and Five Antis movements.  When the class struggle is transferred to the activities of resuming production and reviving the national economy, to use one of his plain words: "We can't let the common people carry out the revolution with their bare buttocks, right?".  He has seen too much poverty and backwardness in the old, young, border and poor areas, and has seen too many scenes of people still in dire straits even after liberation. This is a voice from his heart. He hopes that the people can truly enjoy  To experience the benefits of liberation and truly experience the joy of being the master of the country, in the final analysis, he just wants to change the almost declining people's livelihood here.  However, Liu Xinghua's good wishes were still too urgent, and his strong suggestions were criticized by some people in power. They believed that his proposal of not engaging in class struggle was a right-leaning thought and a reaction that forgot one's roots. This evaluation made Liu Xinghua confused.  It was hard to explain, and suddenly I felt that I was really alone, and I couldn't use all the energy in my body at this time.

    At the same time, Liu Xinghua¡¯s old leader during the Anti-Japanese War in Hubei was transferred to the Central South Bureau to be in charge of financial work. At a national meeting, the old leader specifically asked Liu Xinghua if he was willing to return to Hubei to serve. At that time  , this leader is also the deputy secretary of the Central and South Bureau. He hopes that after he is transferred out of the Central and South Bureau, a subordinate who can reassure him will return to Hubei to take up an important position.  Faced with this invitation, Liu Xinghua thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.  Therefore, at the leader's suggestion, Liu Xinghua was successfully transferred back to Hubei from Yunnan and still temporarily served as the deputy governor.

    For Liu Xinghua, being transferred back to a place where he had fought for a long time and had a deep relationship with the people there was like a dream. He was very excited. He was gearing up and preparing to do great things when he got there.  Ichiban.

    ¡°The National Day activities on National Day are finally coming to an end, and Liu Xinghua is relieved. After this National Day, he will leave Kunming and head to Wuhan, which is his hometown.  Before leaving Kunming, he still had some things that he couldn't let go of. The 72nd Army was in Kunming. It can be said that he created this army. But now, he will never be able to go back, and there is a possibility that he will return.  After leaving for a long time, he really couldn't bear to leave this army, the officers and soldiers in this army, and everyone in this army; he actually knew it very well in his heart, but it was Xiaohu and Wang Jinna who made him really uneasy.  .

    I don¡¯t know since when, Xiaohu, his godson, has been regarded as his own son. When he thinks that his daughter Xiaomei is still living with Zhang Xian¡¯s other wife in Taiwan, Liu Xinghua feels that now he  Being able to get Xiaohu can be regarded as an exchange of equal value. He believes that if Zhang Xian is still alive, he will definitely treat his daughter Xiaomei just like he treated Xiaohu. Think about what he had to do when Xiaomei was born.  He still feels guilty after making the decision to send his son. Now, all the guilt he felt towards Xiaomei has been transferred to Xiaohu. Every time he has free time, he will go and see Xiaohu in person.  , every week, even when he has no time, he will ask the staff around him to bring Xiaohu over to live with him for a day.  Xiaohu has been a very sensible child since he was a child. Not only does he have good academic performance, but he also has outstanding moral character. He has known how to help others since he was a child. He is not as naughty and domineering as other children in the chief's family.

    Maybe it's because he loves Wujiwu, or maybe it comes from his heart. Liu Xinghua always feels a kind of unconscious embarrassment when he sees Wang Jinna. He himself doesn't know why, although every time Xiong Zhuoran mentions it intentionally or unintentionally,  When he tried to negotiate with Wang Jinna for him, he was rejected righteously, but he really hoped for it in his heart. Whenever he was thinking alone, he couldn't help but think of Wang Jinna's generous and informal attitude.  The figure in his heart would stir up unconsciously, and it was obviously a special kind of joy. Until one day, he suddenly realized that he really had a kind of love for Wang Jinna.  But when he thinks about this relationship, he feels like a guilty person again. He thinks of Zhang Xian, and at the same time, he also thinks of his deceased wife!  He didn't know what kind of feelings Wang Jinna had for him, but the two of them had an indescribable tacit understanding. When they were together, they could talk about everything, but they would never talk about emotional issues.  I have never asked Wang Jinna what her future emotional plans are. Are she planning to remarry?  Similarly, Wang Jinna never asked him.

    Since he is leaving Kunming, it is naturally necessary to meet Wang Jinna and Xiaohu. No one can say when he will be able to meet them again after he leaves here.  However, when he wanted to say goodbye to Wang Jinna at the 72nd Army Family Courtyard, Wang Jinna and Xiaohu, led by Zhang Yi, went to the provincial party committee compound to see him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Anna never asked him.
