碩士 / 國防大學政治作戰學院 / 政治研究所 / 102 / In recent decades, Kinmen, Matsu and other offshore islands experienced a number of key battles, and suffered numerous heavy artillery attack. Isolated on the other side of the Taiwan Strait, Kinmen and Matsu islands not only embody the indomitable spirit of the “lonely island people are not alone,”but as the defender of peace in the Taiwan Strait have a profound impact on all of us.
Before and after the central government moved to Taiwan, as a result of international realities, the United States on several occasions questioned the strategic value of the outlying islands. Under PRC’s increasingly aggressive attempts to invade these islands, Chiang Kai-shek as President of the ROC paid repeated visits to Kinmen Battlefield defense, and gave guidance in political, economic, cultural and social construction on the island, leading to its recovery from previous poor conditions.
In July 1958 , PRC’s navy, air force and artillery units began to build up in Fujian, a visible clue that communists planned on invading Kinmen and Matsu islands. On July 29, the 823 Battle kicked off, but with Chiang Kai-shek’s military strategic guidance and our soldiers’heroic struggle, communists failed to achieve their objectives but they kept shelling those islands intermittently for two decades and stopped doing so after they established diplomatic relations with the United States in 1979.
Today, Taiwan’s economic prosperity and democracy are recognized by the international community . As time goes by, the 823 Battle has gradually become history, but we should bear in mind that “when a bird's nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact.” We are thankful to those who sacrificed their lives to keep those islands intact. In this context,this study intends to prove the importance of those islands and demonstrate Chiang Kai-shek’s contribution to Taiwan for his insistence on keeping and building Kinmen and Matsu.
