One day in September 1965, ** took a car to the Yi Nian Hall.
At this time, the sky in Beijing was bright, looking at a ray of bright sunshine through the white fog, and the heart of ** was also warm. Let's go to see the old people, so that *** is looking forward to it.
I thought I had gotten up early in the morning, and I had come to the Yi Nian Hall in advance, but I saw that the old man was already waiting there early. And this person is the *** with a handsome body
When the old friends saw each other, their eyes were red, ** took the lead in stepping forward, holding ***'s hands hard, two once hot hearts, but because of the baptism of age, it has shown vicissitudes:
"Mr. Peng, you boss. ”
And the once hot-tempered *** lowered his head and didn't say a word. Finally, he slowly raised his head and said with a sad face
"**I have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace. ”
What happened between ** and *** that separated the two? **What's the request***
**Born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province in 1898, Hunan has been a dangerous place for soldiers since ancient times. In the troubled times, all walks of life in Hunan will establish themselves as kings, forming a separatist force.
Therefore, *** was born and grew up in Si, and his personality was also raised irritable and fiery. But his anger is never directed at ordinary people, but on the contrary, he will speak up for ordinary people and fight for the people who are oppressed by landlords and bullies.
After hardships, he joined the Hunan Army in 1916 and decided to take the road of enriching the country and strengthening the army. Later, he was admitted to the Hunan Army Officers' Lecture Hall and systematically received training in military theory.
Because of his high talent, he soon became a battalion commander, and then joined the National Revolutionary Army, participated in the Northern Expedition, and was determined to realize the reunification of the motherland.
The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, but only unity is the foundation of national salvation! At this time, he was full of pride, full of hope in the face of the vigorous Northern Expedition and the Great Revolution.
Soon after, however, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, which seriously undermined the achievements of the revolution. Countless revolutionaries were indignant about this, believing that this move violated human ethics and morality, and violated justice and heavenly principles. In 1928, at the lowest ebb of the revolution, the black and white *** resolutely joined the Communist Party of China.
In the same year, he co-led the Pingjiang Uprising with Huang Gongluo, and formed the Fifth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and then led the troops to trek through mountains and rivers, expand the territory, and extend the revolutionary base area for hundreds of miles until they arrived at Jinggangshan, and successfully joined forces with *** and Mr. Zhu.
After recuperating in Jinggangshan, ** led the troops to expand the Hunan and Jiangxi border areas to achieve the goal of liberating Hunan and Jiangxi. So in the spring of 1930, ** led the main force of the Red Army to attack Changsha.
Changsha is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very difficult to gnaw Changsha. But *** is not afraid of risks and results, but rushes to the front line with a big sword. This move boosted morale, so in just three days, four battles were fought, and flesh and blood struggle, and finally the army stationed in Changsha saw that it was really no match for the Red Army, so it abandoned the city and fled.
But at this time, the Red Army was arrogant, chased the enemy for more than 100 miles, and completely drove away the enemy for hundreds of miles outside Changsha. In the end, Changsha was liberated, and 100,000 silver dollars and thousands of firearms were also seized.
The people of Changsha were already miserable, and when they saw the Red Army entering the city, they greeted them one after another, and enthusiastically joined the army. In just a few days, the Red Army expanded to nearly 10,000 men. This battle was won very beautifully, and it also made *** impressed.
In the later period, in the Kuomintang several encirclement and suppression struggles, **, as the deputy commander-in-chief, often cooperated with *** and Mr. Zhu to co-chair the anti-encirclement and suppression struggle.
Once, in the anti-encirclement struggle, the enemy army narrowly won by numbers, and they led the Red Army to besiege in the mountains, intending to wait for them to run out of ammunition and food.
But *** was not afraid of life and death, pulled out a big knife and rushed to the front line again, killing a bloody road. At this time, ***'s reinforcements finally arrived, and ** and *** agreed to negotiate together, and finally took advantage of Yamagata's geographical advantage to completely drive the enemy away.
Then *** was suppressed because of **'s left-leaning wrong line, but even so, ** still fought bravely on the front line.
During this period, the friendship between ** and *** has gradually deepened, and the two can be said to share weal and woe, and in the years to come, they will share life and death.
After the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement struggle, the Red Army was forced to enter a strategic shift. The Long March was a long road, and not only had to endure the steep terrain and harsh climate, but also had to deal with the Kuomintang's fierce pursuit.
Fortunately, wherever the Red Army went, it was bound to liberate the local people first, so people continued to join the Red Army, and the Red Army became the most famous "seeder" army in history.
But no matter how high-spirited the army is, it will be exhausted in the face of the precipitous situation of wolves in front and tigers in the back. ** The Red Army led by Chiang Kai-shek intended to move to northern Shaanxi to join the Red Army led by Liu Zhidan, while Chiang Kai-shek intended to take advantage of the weakness of the Red Army to annihilate them completely.
With this in mind, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the 6th and 1st Divisions of the Kuomintang and the 35th Division to be attacked from three sides, in an attempt to encircle the Red Army at Wuqi Town.
At the same time, it also reinforced the Kuomintang Lu Dachang Department, and in the face of this surging Kuomintang army, our party's Red Army can be said to be hanging by a thread.
Seeing that the encirclement was formed, it was difficult for the Red Army to break through, and when everyone was a little discouraged, ** slapped his thigh and said: "We were surrounded on the mountain by the anti-encirclement and suppression back then, didn't we also break through?" Why not follow the example of that combat deployment? ”
This proposal made ***'s eyes light up, so they took out a military map and conducted a comprehensive analysis of Wu Qizhen. At this time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Wuqi Town was also easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially the surrounding hills near the deep ditch on the plateau, where an ambush could be set up.
Then the main force of the Red Army was sent to block the attack, and then the elite troops of the Red Army confronted it head-on, cutting off its Kuomintang wings, then cutting off its feet, and then beheading.
But who wants to lead the Kuomintang troops to the ambush area is a life-and-death task.
In the end, it was *** who stood up, patted his chest and said, "Let me come!" ”
At this time, *** had already put life and death aside, and then held his hands and told him a thousand times:
"In the face of any danger, save your life. ”
So in the early morning of October 21, 1935, ** led the Red Army to ambush Wuligou west of Wuqi Town, set up an ambush circle, planted bombs, and deployed personnel.
Until the early morning, they deliberately released a movement here, the Kuomintang really took the bait, a group of cavalry regiments heard the sound, in order to make the Red Army annihilated, the Kuomintang army was also impatient, directly into the encirclement.
So *** gave an order, and then ordered everyone to throw grenades. The horses were frightened and not controlled at all, and after making a mess, ** once again led the Red Army to the front line and slaughtered in all directions. In the end, not only did the Kuomintang not succeed, but instead seized a large amount of materials and military equipment from the Kuomintang.
After learning the results, he was very excited, and immediately wrote a poem for ***: "The mountains are high, the roads are far away, the pits are deep, and the army is galloping." Who dares to cross the knife immediately, only I am General Peng. ”
**Although he had a fiery temper, he knew that this battle was not the work of one person, so the last sentence was changed to "Only I am a heroic Red Army".
This deepened the appreciation of *** for ***.
After the establishment of a revolutionary base in northern Shaanxi, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out. **As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, he went to the front line in North China and fought with the Kuomintang, not only winning the Battle of Pingxingguan, but also mobilizing the masses in North China to continuously extend and expand the anti-Japanese base areas.
Later, after the Kuomintang launched the Southern Anhui Incident, the North China Battlefield still realized the plan of effectively blocking the footsteps of the Japanese army because of the command and construction of the first country.
At the same time, he led the masses and gathered forces to launch the Battle of 100 Regiments in North China in 1940, which dealt a favorable blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders in North China.
Because during the war, the people of North China could not make ends meet, and in order to force the people of North China to surrender, the Japanese army deliberately manipulated prices and raised grain prices, resulting in the hardship of the people of North China.
Seeing this, he knew that he had to vigorously counter the economic warfare of the Japanese invaders, so he cultivated his life and recuperated, organized troops to engage in production operations with the people, produced food by himself when there was no food, and planted cotton by himself without clothes.
Everyone had an orderly division of labor, and at the same time, the militia and the peasants were not separated, so that the Japanese invaders ran out of food in the later period, and there was a famine, and they could only covet our party and the people of North China with abundant food and clothing.
Therefore, at that time, there were many jokes in North China that Japanese invaders were forced to surrender due to famine, and even took the initiative to go to the farmland to farm and produce together with our people.
And our party also adhered to the principle of punishing the former and treating the sick and saving the people, and carried out ideological transformation of these surrendered Japanese criminals, so that they also joined the production team. And these results that can persuade the enemy army to surrender with less ammunition in the later stage are all completed by the best strategy.
So much so that in the later Liberation War and the establishment of New China, ** is still an indispensable and important role.
During the Liberation War, Hu Zongnan led more than 200,000 Kuomintang troops to attack the Shaanxi and Gansu regions. At this time, the People's Liberation Army led by *** was only 20,000 people, and in the face of a tenfold difference, ** was still not afraid of danger.
After putting forward the "mushroom tactic", delaying Hu Zongnan, and consuming Hu Zongnan's strategy, ** was the first to stand up and support.
The two old partners, one in the rear and the other on the front line, won three battles and three victories in one and a half months, completely suppressing Hu Zongnan's arrogance.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it played an indelible role on the Korean battlefield.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Korean War broke out, and the US military stepped into Korea, which seriously endangered China's border security. But at this time, there is a huge disparity in strength between China and the United States, not to mention that the US military is still clamoring to gather all the military firepower of World War II to attack North Korea, and it is really a thread to resist the US military.
It was still *** who took on the heavy responsibility, led the volunteer army, and crossed the Yalu River mightily.
After years of combat experience and military strategy with ***, ** also understands the combat style of every general. The U.S. generals must have been disdainful of our volunteers, so they seized on their impetuous nature and launched the first campaign as soon as they stepped into Korea. At the same time, with roundabout tactics, constantly cut the enemy ranks, and finally achieve annihilation.
The fierce fighting that lasted for half a month caught the US troops by surprise. After the final victory, it also greatly boosted the morale of the volunteers and the Korean people.
This time, the U.S. military no longer dared to underestimate our volunteers, and in the subsequent battles, the army led by ** continued to annihilate the enemy, forcing the U.S. military to retreat step by step. He also commanded the Sino-Korean coalition forces to strangle the enemy's plan to carry out a counterattack in the summer and autumn, and finally the American invaders signed an armistice.
This greatly encouraged the people of China and the DPRK at that time, and this battle not only safeguarded the peace of the DPRK but also safeguarded the stability of our country, and even more enabled our country to gain a thorough foothold in the international arena.
Since then, it has also become the mainstay of the construction of the new China, but the characteristics of being straightforward and fast-tempered have not changed. Under the complicated international situation at that time, China was not only facing external enemies, but also extremely unstable internally.
The gentleman does not stand under the wall, but he dares to speak out, so at the Lushan Conference in the summer of 1959, Mr. Peng wrote a book of 10,000 words to explain his views to ***, and criticized the leaders' decisions and mistakes.
But at that time, the people set off a trend of thought not to engage in "specialization", and what he said and did made many people think that he had made a "right-leaning opportunist mistake", so he criticized ***.
The awe-inspiring and upright *** did not want to accept this grievance, so he moved out of Zhongnanhai in the same year and went to live alone in Wujia Garden.
But in fact, after reading the *** book of ten thousand words, he was quite helpless, and he said bluntly:
"** is telling the truth, but his character is too straight, and it is easy to offend people, if he makes mistakes, he should also reflect on it, I will also make mistakes, I also need to reflect, now we are all in the midst of reflection, let's do this for the time being. ”
So *** lived alone in the Wu family compound for 6 years, during this period, ** countless times wanted to resolve the knot with ***, but the upright *** always refused to talk to *** again.
But time can always dilute everything, after *** continues to write letters and give signals, ** also gradually understands the profound meaning of ***, no matter what the original situation is, at least the two of them have not changed their original intentions.
It happened that at this time, *** also received a notice to transfer him to the third line to develop industry.
So *** thought it was time to have a good talk, and then he wrote a reply, which made *** full of emotion, and he immediately excitedly called someone to go to Wujia Garden and asked *** to go to the Yi Nian Hall to meet.
On September 23, 1965, before dawn, ** came to the Yi Nian Hall early and waited***
A light call made *** very moved. He strode in front of *** and shook ***'s hands hard, and now that time has passed, the two of them are gradually relieved of the past.
So *** said jokingly: "Mr. Peng, you boss." ”
And the once hot-tempered *** lowered his head and didn't say a word. Finally, he slowly raised his head and said with a sad face
"**I have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace. ”
**Knowing why *** came, he motioned *** to wait and say, because *** also wanted to come to the Yi Nian Hall.
It turned out that they were here today to discuss the matter of transferring to the southwest to support industry, and after everyone came, they said frankly that they wanted to develop agriculture rather than industry.
But at this time, the industry of New China is weak, and there is rich experience in industrialization development, so it is most suitable to go to the southwest to support the third line.
But the party is a brick that needs to be moved. As a marshal, and the right-hand man of ***, even if he is not in industry, he must play an exemplary role.
Your mistakes are not related to yourself, and denying your mistakes is not denying you as a person, you can do what you should do, without scruples. ”
**'s words made ***'s heart warm, and after the two of them opened their hearts, they seemed to have returned to the years when they fought together for the revolutionary cause.
After going back, **thinking back to ***'s advice to him, he couldn't help but have sour eyes, he knew that his outspoken character would definitely offend more people in **politics. It is better to engage in production and labor in a down-to-earth manner, so as to give full play to your greatest value.
Eventually, he accepted the assignment and went to the southwest, where he also made his own achievements.
**Rong Ma has a lifetime, but 'cross-eyebrows and cold fingers at thousands of people, bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow'. He.
The spirit and ethics also continue to inspire the current generation, we must also learn Xi the best ideas and spirit, not afraid of hardships and dangers, not disgrace the mission, one day, will usher in their own bright and future!
