1958年炮击金门决策的再探讨

The Decision-making of the Jinmen Bombardment Revisited

1958年炮击金门尽管有一定的政治含义,但首先是一场军事行动,这项军事计划形成的重要动力和首要目的是维护东南沿海地区的基本安全。它是解放军1954年制定的夺取东南沿海蒋占岛屿之军事计划的一个部分,是1954年春季即逐步展开的军事行动在特殊国内外环境下的继续。这项军事计划从形成、调整到贯彻的过程中,大大增加了维护国家安全的内容。当然,毛泽东本人的个性和有关的认知、1958年中国对外政策激进化等其他因素对1958年炮击金门决策影响仍需进一步研究。

The 1958 shelling of the Jinmen Island was part of the military plans made up in 1954 by the People's Liberation Army to take the southeast offshore islands,which had been occupied by the Chiang regime.The operation in 1958,taken under special circumstances at home and abroad,was a continuation of the military actions that had been unfolded after the spring of 1954.The formulation,adjustments,and the carrying out of this military plan greatly enhanced China's national security.Yet the influence of Mao's own personality and knowledge,as well as the effect of the radicalization of China's foreign policy in 1958 on the decision-making of the bombardment of Jinmen,still warrants further study.
