The TV series "Crossing the Yalu River" was born, filling the gap in film and television dramas on the theme of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea for many years. However, the TV series also left some regrets. For example, there are many famous and surnamed historical figures in the play, but the actors who play them are generally older, especially those with a high appearance rate. Let's talk about Liu Zhibing, the actor of General Deng Hua. Liu Zhibing was 58 years old, and General Deng Hua was 40 years old when he became deputy commander of the Volunteer Army.

Several deputy commanders of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army are also very young, and General Hong Xuezhi and Han Xianchu are only 37 years old. Let's take a look at the first five army commanders who entered the Korean War: Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army, and Wu Xinquan, commander of the 39th Army, who were only 38 years old at the time;Wen Yucheng, commander of the 40th Army, and Wu Ruilin, commander of the 42nd Army, were only 35 years old at the time;Zeng Zesheng, the commander of the 50th Army, was slightly older, only 48 years old. Mr. Peng, commander and political commissar of the Chinese People's Volunteers, is only 52 years old. Back then, those generals were still so young, but they had already commanded thousands of armies and horses, and they were powerful all over the world, which was really admirable and admirable. Maybe he wanted to show the calm and powerful aura of the senior generals of the Volunteer Army, so the producer of the TV series chose Liu Zhibing and other middle-aged and elderly actors to star. In any case, this TV series epicly recreates the huge war, and relatively completely narrates the people and events that happened in that era. General Deng Hua was fortunate to become the deputy commander of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, and the first batch of troops to fight in Korea, which also depended on the special love of the old leaders of the "Four Fields." In July 1950, the 13th Corps of the Fourth Field Army was reorganized into the Northeast Frontier Army. Just as the 13th Corps, the most elite of our army, was preparing to go, the commander of the corps was changed. Huang Yongsheng, former commander of the 13th Corps, was transferred to the post of commander of the 15th Corps and deputy commander of the Guangdong Military Region. Deng Hua, former commander of the 15th Corps, was transferred to the post of commander and political commissar of the 13th Corps, Hong Xuezhi and Han Xianchu were appointed deputy commanders, Xie Fang was appointed chief of staff, and Du Ping was appointed director of the Political Department.

Since ancient times, "changing generals in battle" has been a taboo in soldiers, and what surprised everyone was that the person who first put forward this suggestion turned out to be Mr. Lin, who was known for his stability. Mr. Lin is introverted, during the war years, Mr. Lin "the words of the export are orders", he has always cherished words like gold, and there is no superfluous word. In peacetime, Mr. Lin is still silent, every word is carefully considered, and he will never speak easily. Mr. Lin's proposal to "change generals before the battle" was not only strongly supported by the old political commissar of Siye, but also voted in favor of Liu Yalou, the former chief of staff of Siye. Huang Yongsheng and Deng Hua are both excellent commanders and fighters, and the three old leaders of Siye know them well and know them very well. In contrast, Mr. Lin may prefer Huang Yongsheng. Huang Yongsheng is a fierce general under the command of President Lin, he executes the orders of his superiors resolutely, unconditionally, and uncompromisingly. Deng Hua was also good at fighting, but he was more flexible, and in the process of executing orders, he would often flexibly revise the battle plan according to the situation on the battlefield. As the military commander who commands the battle of the large corps, Mr. Lin is bound to prefer his subordinates who carry out orders to the letter. However, the 13 th Corps' entry into the DPRK this time is of far-reaching significance and heavy responsibility. Who is more suitable to take on this big responsibility, Mr. Lin weighed left and right, and thought twice. Huang Yongsheng, formerly known as Huang Xuqian, is a native of Xianning, Hubei.

When he was 17 years old, he participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and later came to Jinggangshan with the army. In a sudden battle, a small group of enemies suddenly attacked the headquarters office. Huang Xuqian, who was the squad leader at the time, didn't have time to ask for instructions and report, so he rushed forward directly with a few soldiers. After repelling the enemy, Commissar Mao praised Huang Xuqian in public and improvised a name for him: "Xuqian, Xuqian, we revolutionaries can't always talk about money." I think you will be called Huang Yongsheng in the future." Huang Yongsheng is indeed as his name suggests, and since then, he has gone through several anti-"encirclement and suppression", the Red Army's Long March, and the War of Resistance Against Japan. During the Liberation War, Huang Yongsheng successively served as the commander of the Eighth Column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, the deputy commander of the 14th Corps and the commander of the 13th Corps. He led his troops to participate in the Liaoshen Campaign, the Pingjin Campaign, and the Guangxi Campaign, and fought from Baishan and Heishui to the southern tip of the motherland, and made outstanding achievements. To resist US aggression and aid Korea, Huang Yongsheng was replaced by Deng Hua, and in the northeast, Huang Yongsheng also "fell from the sky" and replaced Hong Xuezhi, the former commander of the sixth column. The sixth column originated from the Third Division of the New Fourth Army, and as soon as the Anti-Japanese War was won, Hong Xuezhi and Huang Kecheng led the Third Division of the New Fourth Army to march into the northeast. It can be said that Hong Xuezhi is a veteran figure in the Northeast Battlefield, and the Third Division of the New Fourth Army is also an important military force that President Lin particularly relies on. Under the command of Hong Xuezhi, the sixth column "went to the south of the Yangtze River twice" and "went to the south of the Yangtze River three times", fought bravely and made many meritorious achievements. Hong Xuezhi is an all-rounder, in addition to leading troops to fight, he is also a rare "logistics minister" and a "minister of education" who is well-educated. The four wild generals are like clouds, but all-rounders like Hong Xuezhi are really rare. So, Mr. Lin decided to "let the most suitable person do the most suitable thing", and an order transferred Hong Xuezhi away. He put Hong Xuezhi in charge of training middle and senior military commanders, and at the same time, handed over the baton of the Sixth Column to the fierce and brave Huang Yongsheng.

As it turned out later, it was the best of both worlds. Hong Xuezhi successfully completed the military education work, and Huang Yongsheng also led the sixth column to crisscross the battlefield and fight vigorously. The first commander of the 13th Corps was Cheng Zihua, and after Cheng Zihua was transferred to a local post, Huang Yongsheng took over the post of commander of the 13th Corps. Let's talk about General Deng Hua. Huang Yongsheng is actually Deng Hua's old partner, in 1932, when Huang Yongsheng was transferred to the commander of the 36th Division of the Red 12th Army, Deng Hua was the political commissar of this division. During the Liberation War, Deng Hua served as the commander of the 7th Column of the Northeast Field Army. In the autumn offensive operation, Deng Hua led his troops to take the initiative to attack, conquering five cities in 17 days and destroying three enemy divisions. After the Liaoshen Campaign, Deng Hua served as the commander of the 44th Army. During the Pingjin Campaign, Deng Hua put forward the proposal of "monitoring Tanggu with a small number of troops and concentrating troops to attack Tianjin first", which was adopted by the ** Military Commission and the Pingjin General Headquarters. After the peaceful liberation of Beiping, Deng Hua was appointed as the commander of the 15th Corps of the Fourth Field Army, and led his troops south to participate in the Hunan and Jiangxi and Guangdong campaigns. To liberate Hainan Island, General Deng Hua was the supreme commander of the front. Compared with Huang Yongsheng's courage and fierceness, Deng Hua has a more holistic view and the ability to think independently. After the bloody battle, Deng Hua left a deep impression on Mr. Lin. Before the battle began, Deng Hua made a suggestion: The enemy army is well prepared and ready to work, and our army should increase the strength of one more column. Unfortunately, Mr. Lin did not take Deng Hua's suggestion. At the post-war summary meeting, Mr. Lin made a profound self-examination and introspection. It is precisely because of this defeat that Mr. Lin has a new understanding of Deng Hua, who "dares to question his superiors". In the choice of Huang Yongsheng and Deng Hua, Mr. Lin also considered some objective factors. Although Deng Hua and Huang Yongsheng were both fierce generals of the Fourth Field Army, Huang Yongsheng was mainly responsible for Jireliao, while Deng Hua had always worked on the border and had a better understanding of the situation on the border. In addition, the PLA troops stationed in Guangdong were mainly the 43rd Army, whose predecessor was the Sixth Column of the Northeast Field Army, and Huang Yongsheng once served as the commander of this column. It can be said that Huang Yongsheng knows the 43rd Army better than Deng Hua. Mr. Lin also took into account Huang Yongsheng's personal morality. In terms of commanding operations, Huang Yongsheng was ruthless and fierce. However, Huang Yongsheng has a big problem - he is lustful and does not change his teachings. During the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Yongsheng had a hot fight with the daughter of a landlord, which had a very bad impact, and was repeatedly reprimanded by the commander. During the War of Liberation, Huang Yongsheng fought in the northeast for a long time, and still did not get rid of the bad problem of messing with flowers and grass. In the military, a commander of such conduct is very likely to be despised and despised, and it is very difficult to convince the public. Considering various factors, Mr. Lin finally came to a conclusion: Deng Hua is more suitable than Huang Yongsheng to serve as the commander of the 13th Corps. General Deng Hua finally led the order, and when he was about to rush to the northeast, General Deng Hua said something like this to his wife: "The crockpot will inevitably be broken, and the general will inevitably die in battle, so you must be mentally prepared." "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return. "General Deng Hua is ready to be loyal to the country. The first thing General Deng Hua did after taking office was to "set up a team", and there was a small episode in this.

At that time, the ** marshal "detained" Deng Hua's deputy commander Hong Xuezhi in Guangdong - "another reuse". This made Deng Hua very anxious. In order to return to Hong Xuezhi, General Deng Hua decided to "strike first", and with the cooperation of Mr. Lin, Deng Hua designed to "kidnap" Hong Xuezhi. Knowing that Hong Xuezhi happened to go to Beijing to report to work, the shrewd Deng Hua immediately rushed to the train station and directly "kidnapped" Hong Xuezhi to Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin rarely stayed with Hong Xuezhi and Deng Hua for lunch. During the banquet, Mr. Lin told Hong Xuezhi straight to the point: "You will immediately follow Deng Hua to the 13th Corps to take office." Hong Xuezhi said in embarrassment: "I didn't even bring a change of clothes, and I still have blisters on my body, and Mr. Ye is still waiting for me to go back." Deng Hua lost no time in answering: "I'll solve the problem of clothes, and I'll go to the Northeast for treatment of herpes." "Mr. Ye, I'll say hello there." Mr. Lin communicated with Mr. Ye who was far away in Guangzhou on the spot. Mr. Lin's ** is very brief, saying that it is "discussing and discussing", but in fact it is "cutting first and then playing, there is no room for negotiation." This is already the case, and Mr. Ye, who is far away in Guangzhou, reluctantly acquiesced to this ending, he sighed and said: "I knew that such a thing would happen, so I wouldn't let Hong Xuezhi go to Beijing." In this way, General Hong Xuezhi was "kidnapped" back to the 13th Corps by Deng Hua, and he also "kidnapped" back the most outstanding "logistics commander" for the Volunteer Army. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Hong Xuezhi served as the logistics commander of the Volunteer Army, and single-handedly built a steel transportation line for our army that "bombed continuously and could not be defeated". For Hong Xuezhi, Mr. Peng once praised him like this: "To defeat the Yankees, the two pockmarks at home and abroad have the greatest credit, and in North Korea, I rely on Hong Mazi's ......."In 1955 and 1988, General Hong Xuezhi was awarded the rank of general twice, becoming the only "six-star general" in our army. After General Deng Hua entered the court, he served as Mr. Peng's deputy, and he lived up to expectations, and soon entered the role and became a good helper of Marshal ***. During his return to China, General Deng Hua once served as the commander of the Chinese People's Volunteers, directly deployed and commanded the Shangganling Battle and the Jincheng Counterattack, and made great achievements. In 1955, General Deng Hua was awarded the rank of general. In 1954, General Deng Hua returned to the motherland and successively served as the first deputy commander and ** commander of the Northeast Military Region, deputy chief of general staff of the People's Liberation Army and commander of the Shenyang Military Region.

In 1960, Deng Hua served as vice governor of Sichuan Province. After 1977, Deng Hua served as vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and a member of the Military Commission. On July 3, 1980, General Deng Hua died of illness in Shanghai.
