Why did He Changgong "stand in the wrong line" when he divided his troops in the grassland?The chairman answered questions several times.
In the course of the Chinese revolution, most of the generals and cadres gradually rose to higher positions as the ranks developed. Generally speaking, those who have a higher status in the early stage, due to their qualifications and experience, tend not to be worse in the later stage.
However, there are also some people who have a situation of "driving high and going low" for various reasons. Among them, the most regrettable is undoubtedly He Changgong. He initially ranked among the best in the party in terms of connections, qualifications, position, and trust.
However, he was on the wrong side during the struggle between the north and the south during the Long March, which not only had a bad impact on his reputation, but also made him far away from the front line of the army, and his reputation was no longer prominent.
It stands to reason that He Changgong should be the descendant of the ** lineage, why would he make such an unexpected mistake?
He Changgong, formerly known as He Kun, was born in Huarong, Hunan Province in 1900. He has a deep relationship with the leader. In 1918, he went to Beijing Changxindian to study part-time at the French Higher French Seminar, during which he got acquainted with *** who was "drifting north".
In 1919, he successfully went to France to study, which was separated from the *** who remained in China firmly. However, he soon became acquainted with Zhao Shiyan and others in France, and his thinking progressed very quickly, and he successfully joined the party in 1922.
This time of joining the party surpassed that of most marshals of New China. In 1924, soon after he returned to China, he was sent back to his hometown in Hunan to carry out agricultural activities, and met *** again.
Both of them did very well, but they were also regarded as a thorn in the side of the reactionary warlords.
He Changgong, formerly known as He Kun, was wanted after the "Ma-Ri Incident" in Changsha, and Hunan is no longer safe. At the suggestion of ***, he changed his name and went to Wuhan to join the Guard Regiment of the Second Front Army of the National Revolutionary Army led by the Communist Party.
However, shortly after the separation from ***, on August 1, 1927, the Nanchang Uprising broke out. Although the guard regiment did not receive the notice, it immediately rushed to Nanchang after hearing the news, but unfortunately it couldn't catch up, and finally stayed in Hunan and Jiangxi to cooperate with the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by ***.
Although the Autumn Harvest Uprising was not the first armed uprising of our party, it was the first time that the names and banners of workers and peasants were used, and the first flag of the people's army was designed by He Changgong.
He then followed *** to Jinggang Mountain, and was ordered to go to Shaoguan to find the remnants of the Nanchang Uprising led by **, which contributed to the Zhu Mao Huishi and made outstanding achievements.
He was a party representative of the 28th Regiment of the Red Fourth Army, the commander of the 8th Army of the Red Third Army, the political commissar of the 12th Army of the Red Fifth Army, and the president of the Red Army University. Among the three main forces of the Red Army, he held important positions and had a bright future.
In March 1935, not long after ** returned to the leadership position at the Zunyi Conference, he found him, hoping that he could go to the Ninth Army Corps, have a good relationship with Luo Binghui, and lead the team well.
He lived up to expectations, and together with Luo Binghui, he built the Red Ninth Army into a strategic cavalry, and performed many covering and blocking missions and performed heroically.
Second, the key choice, He Changgong made a serious mistake Under normal circumstances, as the descendant of the first line, He Changgong will firmly stand on the side of the first no matter what situation he faces.
However, in red.
1. In the dispute between the two major fronts of the Red Fourth Front Army going north and south, He Changgong echoed the Zhang clan of the Red Fourth Front Army, and made a huge mistake by expressing his views in favor of the independent establishment at the Zhuo Mujie Conference.
According to Marshal ***'s memories in his later years, the atmosphere at the venue was very tense, and no one wanted to take the lead. So Zhang first designated the cadres of the First Army to speak. These cadres listed a number of things and said them with great excitement.
The comrades of the Fourth Front Army had never heard of such things and could not help but be in an uproar. Song Kanfu, then director of the radio station of the Red Fourth Front Army, also recalled that at the meeting, several cadres of the Red Front Army spoke first, and their speeches had a great impact on us, because they were cadres of the First Front Army and had been with the chairman for a long time
After the meeting, these cadres were promoted. Among them is He Changgong. So, why did He Changgong make such an abnormal choice?
3. On reflection afterwards, I fell into a state of self-limitationFor the reasons for this behavior, He Changgong later explained in his autobiography: "Some of our comrades who were assigned to the Left Route Army followed Zhang into a state of self-limitation.
There were many challenges and pressures here, but the main one was that I made mistakes subjectively. He did not make it explicit, but we can speculate from historical events that it may be due to the following aspects: First, the feeling of being abandoned several times during the Long March, and the dissatisfaction in my heart.
After crossing Chishui three times, the Red Ninth Army Corps was ordered to attract the attention of the Kuomintang army as a suspicious soldier and cover the main force of the Red Army to cross the Wujiang River to the south. They successfully dragged down the two columns of Wu Qiwei and Zhou Hunyuan and completed the task.
However, when they arrived at the scheduled river crossing site, they found that the person who answered the river was not there, and the pontoon bridge was also demolished. In this way, the Red Ninth Army was in a difficult situation.
The enemy clung to them, they could not build bridges and could only move to the northeast on their own. In the face of the pursuit of two columns, they were almost annihilated, but fortunately the Red Army was strong in combat and successfully ambushed the enemy at the new drum field and gained respite.
After entering Yunnan, the Kuomintang sent a large number of troops to besiege the Red Army, and in order to cross the Jinsha River, ** again appointed the lone Red Ninth Army Corps as a cover to attack Xuanwei and Weining.
After the Red Ninth Army successfully occupied Xuanwei, Lao Chiang mistakenly thought that this was the main force, so all the Kuomintang troops gathered here and were able to cross the Jinsha River smoothly.
After the ** attack on Huili, the original order given to the Red Ninth Army was to "destroy the ships along the river, block the pursuing enemy on the east bank, and cover the main action", but after the siege did not go well, the task of the Red Ninth Army became to resolutely prevent the enemy on the east bank of the Jinsha River.
The command skills of Luo Binghui and He Changgong were fully demonstrated, and they successfully annihilated three battalions of the Dian army and successfully covered the northward movement of the main force. The Red Ninth Army fought alone for nearly two months, and every time it encountered danger, it needed to be solved, and there was no assistance.
It may not be realistic to say that He Changgong and Luo Binghui have no opinion at all (Luo Binghui also supports going south).
In his later years, Zhang mentioned in his memoirs that he led.
The 1st and 3rd Legions went north, but ** did not inform him, making him feel that he was not taken seriously. In fact, this is an unexpected event, and ** himself is not prepared for anything.
Moreover, even if He Changgong was notified, they would not be able to act in the Left Route Army. In addition, Zhang needed the support of the cadres of the former Red Army, otherwise his actions would become a one-man show, so the people of the Red Army were under a lot of pressure.
Zhang's heart is ruthless, and through coercion and temptation, there will always be people who give up the bottom line. In the end, Zhang's vision was not long-term enough, and he did not see that it was right to go north. If placed in your position, would you choose an army of more than 80,000 men or an army of just over 10,000 people?
This is a very real problem, but it highlights the value of a determined person.
Fourth, after many conversations, neither the organization nor the chairman went into deep investigation, but no matter how many reasons there are, a mistake is a mistake. After the three main forces met, He Changgong's mood was very complicated.
The chairman had talked to him many times, comforted him "don't worry, don't hold the lower authorities accountable," and was ready to arrange for him to work in the Fourth Bureau of the Central Military Commission. But He Changgong refused, saying that he wanted to go to the Red Army University.
A few days later, ** also found him, and the conversation was very light: I already know about the chairman's conversation with you, you write a check, and the matter is over. Later, Mr. Zhu also mentioned at the meeting: "Although He Changgong made mistakes, he also did two good things.
One is to prepare for the red.
2. Grain for the Fourth Front Army to the North;The second is the establishment of a secret shelter to protect the cadres and fighters who have fallen behind in the Red Army." In general, He Changgong was very lenient and did not give any severe punishment.
After that, He Changgong left the front-line command post, which may be a better way for him to deal with it personally and the army, after all, there has been a situation of irritability, and if he continues to stay in office, it may cause mutual suspicion and affect unity.
In 1955, He Changgong had already left the military system and did not participate in the awarding of titles, which may have made him feel a little regretful. However, in 1980, He Changgong was elected vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and became a vice-state leader, which is more than most generals.
The encounters in life are really full of fun.
