白先勇先生有一长文《养虎遗患——父亲的憾恨),记述其父白崇禧将军与四平街之战,对这一重要历史事件、关键战役,做了详尽叙述和分析,包括战役的前因后果、起承转合、幕前幕后,均独有运思,颇得其实,亦保持理性态度,许多言外之意,显示作者对个人观点的某种控制,对重要人物褒贬亦有讽喻之旨,是一篇记史论事的好文章,也是研究中国现代战争史颇可一读之文。这么重要一场国共大战,诚如白先勇先生所言,却极少有人研究、探讨。国民党方面,由于避讳蒋氏所犯错误,往往讳莫如深;共产党方面,电令林彪军队退出四平,四九年以后,较早有中共将领回忆录《红旗飘飘》系列,后来有《雪白血红》等访问性记述,还有“伟大的战略决战”之类各种书籍以及毛泽东的内战电文之类,所有这些,由于不完全知对方内情,因此,多年来,对于此战实情及其关键性意义,很少有人知晓。当年参战将领们一一离世,四平之战愈成奥秘,更使白氏此文具史学价值。国共之间恩恩怨怨、风雨沧桑的各种较量,或明或暗,我知道不少,即使有所不知,也大抵能靠判断力,感知几分,因此并不疑惑。唯独对于三年内战时期国民党数百万大军灰飞烟灭、美式机械化部队顷刻倒塌、三大战役崩溃如山倒,心中一直大惑不解。在几百万平方公里广阔土地展开这样大兵团全面战争,这种军事行为非同寻常,决非靠一两个小手腕小阴谋就可奏效,国民党军队如此兵败,必有非寻常之因使外人不足道也。读了白氏此文,疑惑顿解。 Mr. Bai Xianyong has a long article entitled “Remaining HATCHU - Father’s Hate and Hate.” Describing the war between his father, General Bai Chongxi and Siping Street, it gives a detailed account and analysis of this important historical event and key campaign, including the antecedents and the consequences of the campaign, Acting together, behind the scenes, are unique ideas, quite factual, but also maintain a rational attitude, many implied meaning, showing some of the author’s personal point of view of control, the important people are also allegory of praise and disagreement purposes, is a historical treatise A good article, but also a fairly readable text for studying the history of modern Chinese wars. It is so important that a great war between the KMT and the CPC, as Mr. Bai Xianyong said, has rarely been studied or discussed. As for the Kuomintang, they often kept secrets since they avoided tabling the mistakes made by Chiang. On the communist side, they called for the withdrawal of Lin Biao troops from Siping. After 1949, the CPC Central Committee general’s memoirs of “Red Flag Fluttering,” earlier, and later “snow and white blood” visits As well as various books such as the Great Strategic Decisive Battle and Mao Zedong’s Civil War Telegrams, all of which, because they do not fully understand each other’s inner feelings, therefore, over the years, this war truth and its crucial significance , Few people know. When the war generals died one by one, the battle of Siping became the mystery, but also to make this stationery White historical value. There is no doubt that the KMT and the Communists will complain and complain about the vicissitudes of life and the vicissitudes of the wind and rain. I know quite a lot about it. Even if I do not know it, I can not doubt it by its discretion and perception. Only for the three years of the KMT during the Kuomintang millions of ashes gone, the American mechanized troops collapsed instantaneously, the collapse of the three major battlefield such as downhill, my heart has been puzzled. In a vast war of millions of square kilometers, such an all-out large-scale army war will be an extraordinary military exercise that can in no way be effected by one or two small conspiracies. The Kuomintang army must defeat such a war with extraordinary causes Outsiders are not enough too. Read the white paper, puzzled solution.
