"Chen Guang, you should think about it, and see if the organization's criticism of you is justified?Seeing that Chen Guang's emotions were gradually excited, he even slapped the table, but still said calmly. Unexpectedly, Chen Guang said angrily
"I don't have anything to think about. ”With that, Chen Guang stood up and walked away.
On New Year's Day in 1950, Chen Guang took several staff members to bid farewell to his hometown and went to Guangzhou to serve as deputy commander of the Military Region.
At that time, the public order situation in Guangzhou was very grim, and in addition to the more than 100,000 troops and more than 10,000 old policemen left over from the Kuomintang, Kuomintang spies were also infiltrated into the interior from time to time to carry out all kinds of illegal activities. Under the leadership of Chen Guang, he relied on the masses to quickly crack down on the arrogance of the reactionary elements, and soon stabilized the social order in Guangzhou.
However, Chen Guang did not have a full understanding of the arduousness and complexity of the new environment and the new tasks, and it was inevitable that mistakes would occur in his work, and there were even some big mistakes in intelligence work across the Taiwan Strait. At the same time, out of narrow nostalgic interests, Chen Guang illegally recruited a group of martyrs' children and intellectual youths from his hometown and set up a training class in Guangzhou.
Regarding Chen Guang's mistakes in work, the organization immediately sent people to talk to him and persuade him to correct them in time, but Chen Guang showed a rebellious attitude towards this. Upon learning of this, I decided to talk to him personally.
When they first met, the atmosphere of the conversation was still very harmonious, and the two shook hands and greeted each other. As a result, as they talked, their rhetoric became more and more intense, and finally they broke up unhappily. Later, at the organizational life meeting of the party committee, everyone continued to criticize Chen Guang's mistakes, but Chen Guang lost his temper on the spot, and ignored the persuasion of ***.
In view of Chen Guang's wrong attitude towards himself, the Central South Bureau Military Region gave him the punishment of expulsion from the party after reporting to the party, and decided to take measures against him.
On a weekend in July 1950, Chen Guang's old subordinates invited Chen Guang and his family to visit the Pearl River. After Chen Guang's family left their residence, the security department of the military region immediately took control of Chen Guang's residence. When Chen Guang returned in the afternoon, he found that his residence was full of sentry posts he did not recognize, and after entering the house, the head of the security department read out a telegram from his superiors, revoking Chen Guang from all his posts in the military region and placing him under house arrest on the spot.
Since then, Chen Guang has lost his personal freedom. For the first few days, Chen Guang was in a very bad mood, did not eat or drink, and often became angry. The soldier guarding Chen Guang persuaded him to eat something and not damage his body, but Chen Guang sighed and took out a letter from his underwear with tears:
"Someone is fixing me, **understand me, trust me, I want to see ***
The soldier on guard took the letter with both hands and was shocked when he read it carefully. It turned out that this letter was written by *** to Chen Guang.
During the "Seventh National Congress" in 1945, Chen Guang participated in the discussion of various agendas as a member of the qualification review committee. Originally, Chen Guang was included in the list of alternate members, but *** thought that there were too many people in Jinggangshan, so he circled Chen Guang and replaced him with someone else.
After Chen Guang learned of this, he immediately quit and expressed some radical personal opinions, and as a result, he was directly reported to *** on the grounds of "boycotting the party congress", saying that Chen Guang had "anti-party behavior". For Chen Guang, the company commander in the Jinggangshan period, ** still understands, and after some investigation, he wrote a letter to him:
"I understand your opinion. Some of the opinions are right. The route you are executing in Shandong is right. The 'Seventh National Congress' should be a united congress and a victorious congress, and I believe that you can devote yourself to this congress. If you have any opinions, you can exchange them after the meeting. ”After Chen Guang received the letter from ***, he was immediately relieved and kept the letter by his side. The soldier guarding him carefully folded the letter and returned it to Chen Guang, persuading him not to worry, things would always be clear, and he could also write a letter to *** to complain.
Chen Guang nodded after listening, and since then his mood has stabilized, and he has asked people to buy books for him to read, and his life has become regular.
After the volunteers left for North Korea in 1950, Chen Guang was transferred to Wuhan. When some of the old ministries heard that Chen Guang had arrived, they tried their best to come to visit. At the same time, in order to help Chen Guang realize his mistakes, the Central South Military Region sent old comrades-in-arms to talk to Chen Guang many times, but Chen Guang insisted that those so-called mistakes did not match the facts and refused to organize the handling of him.
In this way, the two sides have been at a stalemate, and the handling of Chen Guang has dragged on.
Seeing that Chen Guang's health was getting worse and worse, and he also had mental problems, the guards reported to their superiors in time, but they didn't seem to pay attention to it. After four years in Wuhan, the 47-year-old Chen Guang died.
Just a year after Chen Guang's death, a grand award ceremony was held. After Huang Kecheng was conferred the title, he said: "In terms of military merits, Chen Guang is above our generals. Even Mr. Lin once said: "Chen Guang can be awarded the marshal." ”
In 1928, ** led the Nanchang uprising troops to Yizhang, Chen Guang, who had just joined the peasant cooperative, was very excited when he heard the news, and immediately took out his collection of 12 rifles and formed the peasant Red Guards to cooperate in the southern Hunan riot. At that time, there were very few Red Guards, and Chen Guang's collection of rifles was of great significance to the success of the uprising.
After the Southern Hunan Rebellion, Chen Guang went to Jinggangshan with Zhu and Chen and became a company commander of the 3rd Independent Division of the Red Army.
During the battle in Wenjia City in 1930, a bullet pierced Chen Guang's knee and got stuck in the bone. The comrades carried him onto a stretcher, but Chen Guang struggled to roll down and crawled back to his position until he routed the enemy. After that, the Red Fourth Army was reorganized, and Chen Guang was promoted to the post of regiment commander because of his bravery.
In the first battle against "encirclement and suppression", due to the improper setting of General Lin's command post, he was besieged by the enemy. It was Chen Guang who led the soldiers to break through to the front line at a critical moment and saved Mr. Lin safely, but he was wounded. After the battle, Mr. Lin, who had never been good at talking, personally visited Chen Guang, thanked him in person and took the initiative to ask for credit for him.
In the section. After the second and third anti-"encirclement and suppression" battles, Chen Guang was promoted to the post of chief of staff of the division, and later transferred to the commander of the 12th Division.
In 1933, after Chiang Kai-shek launched the fifth "encirclement and suppression", in order to expand his popularity, he formed the "Young Communist International Division". In order to train these young fighters into qualified fighters, it was decided that Chen Guang would be the commander of the division. Although Chen Guang was transferred to the commander of the 2nd Division after only three months, he laid a good foundation for this young unit.
After the start of the Long March, Chen Guang led the troops to take on the task of assaulting the avant-garde, and was personally ordered by the head of the Military Commission to lead the troops to cross the Wujiang River, seize Loushan Pass, and serve as a guard for the Zunyi Conference. After the Zunyi Conference, Chen Guang led the army to participate in the four crossings of Chishui and captured the Luding Bridge, opening the way for the Red Army to go north.
After walking out of the meadow, the Red Army faced the famous natural danger of Lazikou. After observing the terrain, the head of the corps decided to let Chen Guang command the battle of Lazikou, making an extremely important contribution to the Red Army's northward movement.
After the establishment of the 115th Division in 1937, Chen Guangben was a brigade commander of the 115th Division. Later, Mr. Lin was unfortunately injured, and Chen Guang was appointed as the acting commander of the 115th Division. During Chen Guang's tenure, he led the troops to smash the Japanese army's "sweeps" again and again, and by the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the team had grown to more than 100,000 people.
This experience as the acting teacher commander has become the highlight of Chen Guang's military career. But due to his natural fiery temper and stubborn character, he eventually attracted unfair treatment.
In 1985, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, more than a dozen veteran comrades who were familiar with Chen Guang, including his wife Lin Yueqin and others, jointly signed a letter, hoping to re-handle Chen Guang's issue fairly. ** The relevant departments then formed an investigation team to conduct a careful and meticulous examination of Chen Guang's case.
In 1988, with the approval of the People's Republic of China, the so-called conclusion that Chen Guang was "anti-party" was revoked, and Chen Guang's party membership and reputation were restored. At this time, it had been 34 years since Chen Guang's death. For Chen Guang, this is not only a personal tragedy, but also a historical mistake, which has brought many regrets to future generations to study relevant history.
