One day in March 1947, it was rare to invite Chen Geng to have dinner with him, at the beginning, everyone at the dinner table talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After three rounds of drinking, ** suddenly became angry with Chen Geng.
Everyone knows that Chen Geng is a famous optimist in the army, his words are full of humor, which brings a lot of laughter to everyone, and sometimes, even *** will be amused by Chen Geng's humor.
It's such a pistachio in the army, how can it provoke *** to be angry?
It turned out that since the first head of the government withdrew from Yan'an, the *** who temporarily lived in Tianci Bay had already played a game of chess in his heart: send Liu and Deng troops to advance into Dabie Mountain, preparing to attack and peep into the Central Plains!The army of ** and Su Yu contained 15 integrated divisions and 41 brigades of the enemy entrenched in southwest ...... LuThen transfer Chen Geng's fourth column back to northern Shaanxi, Chen Bing on the bank of the Yellow River, first, to protect the safety of the first leader, and second, to be back to back and shoulder to shoulder with General Peng's Northwest Field Army.
It's a good move.
However, no matter how good a chess player is, there will be flaws.
For example, Chen Geng thinks that ** to bring back the four longitudinal people who are far away in Fenglingdu back to his side is to change from active to passive. Maybe you'll be beaten passively. Therefore, Chen Geng was very dissatisfied with the task assigned by ***.
Unexpectedly, Chen Geng vented all the dissatisfaction in his heart in front of *** and *** at the wine table this time.
He said, "Chairman, forgive me Chen Geng's rectum, just say whatever you have in your heart, you transfer me back to northern Shaanxi to cross the Yellow River in the west, this move is not clever enough!."After listening to Chen Geng's words, **didn't speak, but ** was taken aback: "This Chen Geng, the hard chairman, is **taking the wrong medicine today." ”
He was trying to stop Chen Geng, but said: "Let's talk about it, this move is not smart enough, I want to hear it." ”
Chairman, you shouldn't let me cross the Yellow River west to defend Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, you should take me out, cross the Yellow River in the south, cut and kill in the west, and stick a knife in the enemy's chest!As for the defense of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, it can be considered nearby;Transferring me over, to put it mildly, is really overkill......”
What is overkill. It's clearly making excuses, and he doesn't even listen to me. As soon as Chen Geng finished speaking, he stood up abruptly and slapped the table a few times.
Seeing that *** was angry, Chen Geng was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he muttered, "The chairman can't listen to the opinion either." Chen Geng's voice was very small, and only he could hear it.
Just when everyone was at a loss, I only heard *** laughing: "Look at it, look at it, they all say that General Chen is bold, and it turns out that he is so small." ”
Only then did everyone understand that the chairman was making a big joke with Chen Geng.
Seeing this scene, **'s hanging heart also let go, and he told Chen Geng: "The chairman just wants to listen to what you have in your heart and tell you - * has changed the plan, it's up to you."
Later, He *** supported Chen Geng's idea, and Chen Geng began to forcibly cross the Yellow River and advance into western Henan. Chen Geng also lived up to expectations, in southern Jinnan, he led his troops to defeat the enemy, annihilated nearly one-sixth of Huzong's southern troops, and controlled most of the southern Jinnan.
