平津战役与辽沈、准海战役相比,歼灭和改编国民党军队的数量虽不是最多的,但它却为中国人民解放事业创造了独特的结束战争的模式,即:北平方式和天津方式。平津战役后,全国大片土地基本上是用这两种方式解放的。湖南、云南、四川、绥远、新疆等地是以北平方式改编军队、和平接管城镇乡村的;上海、太原、广州、兰州等市则采用天津方式全歼守敌。当然弃城逃窜之敌被我围而聚歼者也为数不少。毛泽东在平津战役结束时,为新华社修改了一条消息《北平解放》、一篇述评《北平问题和平解决的基本原因》。这两篇文章就是集中阐述这两种方式的形成、发展、特征和基本经验的。如果从历史角度观察,这两篇文章具有文献价值。它准确、鲜明、精炼而生动地记载了这一历史事件。这里摘录这两篇文章的部分段落,以供鉴赏和研究。 Although the number of KMT troops annihilated and adapted to Kuomintang was not the largest, the Pingjin Campaign created a unique model for ending the war for the Chinese people’s liberation, namely the Peiping and the Tianjin methods. After the Battle of Binh Dinh, vast areas of land in the country were basically liberated in both ways. Cities such as Hunan, Yunnan, Sichuan, Suiyuan and Xinjiang reorganized their armed forces peacefully and took over the towns and villages peacefully. The cities of Shanghai, Taiyuan, Guangzhou and Lanzhou used the Tianjin method to wipe out their enemies. Of course, the enemy who fled the city to escape is surrounded by me and gathered a lot of people. At the end of the Pingjin Campaign, Mao Zedong amended a message for the Xinhua News Agency, “Liberation of Peiping,” and a commentary on “the basic reasons for the peaceful settlement of the Peiping problem.” These two articles focus on the formation, development, characteristics and basic experiences of these two approaches. If viewed from a historical point of view, these two articles are of documentary value. It accurately, vividly, refined and vivid record of this historical event. Some excerpts from these two articles are extracted here for appreciation and research.
