1948年10月,正当我军在前线取得节节胜利的时候,新华社党中央(当时在河北省平山县西柏坡)的同志们突然接到通知说,敌人可能偷袭石家庄,窜扰西柏坡的中央机关,要求大家做好暂时撤离的准备。原來,敌人得悉解放军主力部队当时都在远处作战,保定到石家庄一线我军比较空虚,石家庄实际上是座空城。西柏坡距石家庄不远,敌人偷袭石家庄威胁我中央机关。毛泽东同志分析了情况后,一方面指示中央机关做好暂时撤离的准备,一方面用两条新华社新闻导演了別具一格的“空城计”。 In October 1948, just as our military made a triumphant victory on the front line, comrades of the party Central Committee of Xinhua News Agency (at the time in Xibaipo, Pingshan County, Hebei Province) suddenly received a notice that the enemy might have attacked Shijiazhuang and disturbs the central part of Xibaipo Organizations, requiring everyone to prepare for the temporary withdrawal. It turned out that the enemy learned that the main force of the People’s Liberation Army were fighting in the distance, Baoding Shijiazhuang front line of our own more emptiness, Shijiazhuang is actually an empty city. Xibaipo not far from Shijiazhuang, the enemy attacked Shijiazhuang threatened me the central authorities. After analyzing the situation, Comrade Mao Zedong instructed the central government on the one hand to prepare for the temporary withdrawal and on the other hand, he directed two unique “empty city plans” with two Xinhua News Agency news.
