When this general was awarded the title of general, he ranked fourth, but he was much more well-known than the top few ranked.
In his extraordinary military career, in addition to iron-blooded pride, he has always maintained a humorous and witty style.
He has good interpersonal relationships and can get along well with anyone, even the notoriously short-tempered Mr. Peng likes to work with him. He also joked with *** and made *** laugh.
He was a great military genius and a great communicator.
He is General Chen Geng.
Whether it is the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, Chen Geng is a well-deserved meritorious general, he once joined the death squad to kill the enemy bravely, and also joined the intelligence organization to do intelligence work.
Whether it is the bravery on the battlefield or the prestige of the soldiers, he has won the respect of the people.
General Chen Geng graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and he was a man of the year at that time. His talent was greatly appreciated by Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek. And it's public and obvious.
Lao Jiang has handed an olive branch to Chen Geng more than once, wanting to pull him to the Kuomintang. But in the end, Chen Geng still firmly chose the Communist Party and became the backbone of the people's army.
This decision not only made Lao Chiang feel sorry, but also made the entire Kuomintang feel sad about the loss of this outstanding talent.
Chen Geng once participated in the death squad, was born and died on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, and his bravery and fearlessness became a model for the team members. He took the lead and always rushed to the forefront, and these actions won the respect and love of his subordinates.
Later, Chen Geng's talent was seen by higher levels. Invite him to participate in intelligence work. Chen Geng gladly accepted. On the intelligence front, he has also done an excellent job.
He once pretended to be a Kuomintang military police officer and wittily rescued Zhang Yunyi, who was targeted by spies. Zhang Yunyi was also one of the top ten generals of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
At that time, Zhang Yunyi was about to go to Guangxi to carry out work, but he was targeted by reactionary spies. Fortunately, *** knew that Chen Geng had a lot of ideas, and gave him the task of rescuing Zhang Yunyi.
And Chen Geng also lived up to expectations, took a few comrades, pretended to be the Kuomintang military police, and "escorted" Zhang Yunyi out in a grand manner under the noses of the spies.
The spy saw that he was arrogant and unreasonable, and even nodded at him and said hard.
At the investiture ceremony in 1955.
The generals of the republic lined up in order, waiting for the solemnity of that moment.
**Personally put on a medal for Chen Geng, smiled and said: "Follow me, it's better than following Chiang Kai-shek, right?"I don't think Chiang Kai-shek will give you a general. ”
Chen Geng's heart warmed, and he also joked with the chairman: "Chairman, my general was not given by you, but by my fellow countrymen." ”
After listening to it, I actually laughed knowingly.
Chen Geng's joke also has an allusion.
The fellow in his mouth, who is in the same army, has always admired him very much.
Whenever there is an opportunity, I always praise Chen Geng's great achievements in front of others.
He always said that Chen Geng is comparable to the god of war, and with his resume and merits, he will definitely be rated as a general.
In this way, ten to ten, ten to hundred, everyone knows that Chen Geng has a fellow who admires him very much.
Therefore, at the award ceremony, in the face of the ridicule of the great man, he also responded with this joke.
In the future, he always joked that his military rank was given by his fellow countrymen, and if it wasn't for his fellow countrymen working hard to promote themselves, I am afraid that he would not be able to evaluate them.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Geng was sent to Vietnam to assist the Viet Cong in resisting French aggression.
He not only became a witness to the friendship between China and Vietnam in those years, but also made a prestige, and the French would shy away when they heard his name.
This history has made Chen Geng more prestigious in the world.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Chen Geng once again shouldered a heavy responsibility and was sent to the Korean battlefield.
As the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, the commander and political commissar of the Third Army Corps, he actively assisted Commander-in-Chief Peng on the battlefield and organized the troops to fight bravely.
In the midst of the war, he has created brilliant results again and again.
After returning to the motherland, Chen Geng did not stop.
He was appointed by the first party to establish China's first comprehensive military academy in Harbin: the People's Liberation Army Military Engineering College, which is the Harbin military industry.
This military academy aims to train high-quality military personnel and contribute to the country's security construction. Chen Geng passed on his rich experience to the new generation of military elites and made new contributions to the prosperity of the motherland.
In 1961, General Chen Geng died of a heart attack in Shanghai at the age of 58.
His life is a military legend and an eternal history.
