1950年至1953年间,我军清剿匪特武装的作战,取得了歼灭武装匪特200多万人的重大胜利。这场战斗不仅肃清了匪患、维护了社会的安定、保卫了新生的革命政权,而且有力地配合和支援了抗美援朝的斗争。时隔半个多世纪,作为一名湘西剿匪的亲历者,今已年逾古稀的我,每每回想起自己亲身参加过的剿匪战斗,仍然激动不已。 From 1950 to 1953, our army cleared up the operations of bandit armed forces and achieved major victories in annihilating more than 2 million armed bandits. This battle not only eliminated the banditry, safeguarded social stability, defeated the nascent revolutionary regime, but also effectively coordinated and supported the war on a part toward fighting the United States and Korea. After more than half a century, as a witness to the suppression of bandits in western Hunan, I am still overjoyed when I recalled the anti-bandit fighting I personally participated in.
