抗战期间及战后初期,我国内陆交通遭到严重破坏。根据《中国善后救济计划》,联合国救济善后总署(简称联总)无偿提供大批交通运输器材,帮助我国恢复残破不堪的水陆交通。出于控制华北的政治目的,国民党政府曾打算利用联总援助的铁路器材优先修复津浦、平汉、平绥和胶济铁路;停战协定生效后,中共曾表示,在保留解放区境内铁路区段实际控制权的前提下,愿意协助修复华北铁路交通。由于国民党政府顽固坚持以武力解决国内政治争端的错误政策,致使全国内战爆发,铁路再度成为交战双方争夺的焦点而频遭破坏。交通部不得不改变初衷,转而将联总器材主要用于修复粤汉、浙赣、南洵铁路和改善华东地区的路况,并收到显著成效。 During the war of resistance against Japan and in the early post-war period, the inland traffic in our country was severely damaged. According to the “China’s Aftermath of Relief Plan”, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency (UN General Assembly) provides a large number of transportation equipment at no charge to help our country restore the crumbling land and water transport. For the purpose of controlling North China’s political purposes, the Kuomintang government had intended to give priority to the restoration of Jinpu, Pinghan, Pingsui and Jiaoji railways with the aid of railways. After the entry into force of the Armistice Agreement, the Chinese communists said that while preserving the actual railway sections in the Liberated Areas, Under the premise of control, is willing to help repair the North China Railway traffic. Due to the stubborn adherence of the Kuomintang government to the erroneous policy of using force to resolve domestic political disputes, the national civil war broke out and the railway once again became the focus of battle between the two warring sides and was frequently destroyed. The Ministry of Transportation had to change its mind and instead used the mainstay equipment for the repair of the Yuehan, Zhe-Gan and Nan-Nan Railway as well as improving the road conditions in East China and received remarkable results.
