A Study On The Anti-bandit Struggle In Guangxi In The Early Period Of New China: 1950-195

In December 1949,under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,the People’s Liberation Army annihilated the main force of the Kuomintang army stationed in Guangxi,overthrowing the more than 20-year rule of the Kuomintang’s New Guangxi Clique and liberating the entire region of Guangxi.However,the remnants of the Kuomintang were unwilling to accept defeat and sought to subvert the newly established people’s regime.In order to consolidate political power and restore social and economic order,under the guidance of the Communist Party of China’s Central Committee,the Guangxi Provincial Committee and the Guangxi Military Region organized a large-scale anti-bandit campaign that lasted for three years.They achieved victory in the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi,defended the lives and property of the people in Guangxi,stabilized the social and economic order,and laid a solid foundation for land reform and economic recovery in Guangxi.This paper focuses on the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,with the time period mainly limited to 1950-1952.The study primarily employs historical and sociological research methods to analyze how the Communist Party of China,through the three-year anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi,achieved its political goals of consolidating political power and implementing social transformation.Firstly,the paper analyzes the historical background of the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi,discussing how it was a large-scale anti-bandit campaign initiated by the Communist Party of China based on a strong awareness of the enemy situation and the severe banditry situation in Guangxi,under the dual influence of subjective and objective factors,with the aim of consolidating political power.It then specifically analyzes the specific deployments from the Communist Party of China’s Central Committee to the Guangxi Provincial Committee and the Guangxi Military Region during the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi,mainly focusing on military operations and political arrangements,briefly describing the progress and actual conditions of the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi.Since the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi lasted for three years and had a complex process,the paper analyzes the mistakes that occurred during the campaign and discusses how the Communist Party of China’s Central Committee rectified them,as well as how the Guangxi Provincial Committee and the Guangxi Military Region mobilized the masses through propaganda and appeals to participate in the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi,ultimately winning widespread support from the people and achieving a decisive victory in the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi.Lastly,the paper focuses on analyzing the extensive work done by the Communist Party of China to consolidate the fruits of victory in the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi and provides a concise summary of the historical experience of the anti-bandit campaign in Guangxi.
