1994, 89-year-old Chen Yun suddenly received an urgent letter from Lin Biao's daughter. After reading it, he looked solemn and hurriedly called his old comrade-in-arms Hong Xuezhi: "There is something to trouble you!" As the founding marshal, Lin Biao had a brilliant military career. Just after 465,438+0 years old, he became the commander of the Fourth Field Army, one of the main forces of China People's Liberation Army.
From the beginning of the War of Liberation to the early days of the founding of New China, the Fourth Field Army moved to the battlefields in Northeast China, North China, Central China and South China, and was known as the "first". The Fourth Field Army is the first column, and it is also the first army to compile a sequence. They won the first annihilation war after entering the customs, and they were also one of the first troops to enter the DPRK to participate in the war, and they have the reputation of being the first tiger in Northeast China.
1945, according to the strategic instructions of the Central Committee, the Northeast People's Autonomous Region Army was established, with Lin Biao as the commander-in-chief. 1945 65438+On February 25th, Lin Biao clearly put forward the guiding principle of "forbearance, peace and cruelty", adopted the tactics of luring the enemy in depth, concentrated superior forces and defeated the enemy one by one, and won the Northeast Liberation War.
1948 In June and July, the Northeast People's Liberation Army decided to launch a large-scale training campaign. Lin Biao put forward six tactical principles such as "one point and two sides", "four quick and one slow", "three emotions and three laws", "three fierce", "three thirds system" and "four regiments and one team". Under the command and operation of Lin Biao, these tactics were fundamentally.
1June, 949, the Northeast Field Army was renamed the Fourth Field Army, with a total strength of 270,000 to 900,000. Lin Biao made a great contribution in the battle. During the battle, the Fourth Field Army led by Lin Biao wiped out more than 6,543.8+0.88 million Kuomintang troops and 6,543.8+0.35 million bandits, and seized a large number of military materials and mechanical artillery shells, which made great contributions to the liberation of the people of China.
Our army pays attention to summing up history and drawing lessons. Since the reform and opening up, the research and revision of military history and war history have entered a stage of prosperity and development. Except for the war history of the Fourth Field Army, the war history of other field armies has been compiled. Lin Biao became a historical sinner, and the war history of the Fourth Field Army was silent. Lin Biao's daughter, Lin Xiaolin, was secretly impatient and wrote to her father's old comrade-in-arms Chen Yun, asking Chen Yun to write the war history of the Fourth Field Army.
The urgent letter from Lin Xiaolin caught Chen Yun's attention. After a little thinking, Chen Yun contacted Hong Xuezhi urgently. 1994 During the Spring Festival, Comrade Chen Yun first put forward the idea of "writing the history of the four fields well", which was approved by the Central Military Commission, with Hong Xuezhi as the writing team leader and Chen Yun and Peng Zhen as the general consultants, and then began the writing work.
The Fourth Field Army has made brilliant achievements. As a commander, Lin Biao played an important role in the history of the Fourth Field Army. Lin Biao's crimes made him condemned and spurned by people all over the country. How to grasp the boundaries has become a difficult problem for the writing team.
After many discussions, the CPC Central Committee adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts. According to the historical development of the Fourth Field Army, the writing team combined the two aspects of fighting and building the army, and accurately, objectively, truly and comprehensively described the course of fighting and building the army of the Fourth Field Army. After a lapse of four years,1July 24, 998, with the approval of the Central Committee, The History of the Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was published by the People's Liberation Army Publishing House.
