01 Introduction.
* Marshal, not only good at fighting, but also good at writing poetry, is a well-known "poetry marshal" in our army, who has been accompanied by poetry all his life. Whether it is war or life, the marshal has written many classic poems. Today we are going to talk about the poetic life of the ** marshal. 02 Desperate Poetry.
* The reason why the marshal has such a profound poetic attainment stems from the marshal's early life. Marshal was born in 1901 in Lezhi, Sichuan, at the age of 18 he went to France to study, according to his wife Zhang Qian recalled: "Commander Chen was born in a family of scholars, and received a good education since he was a child, especially in traditional Chinese literature. * The reason why the marshal's poems can reveal a little romance in the atmosphere may be because they are influenced by French literature.
* In the marshal's life, the most heroic poem is "Three Chapters of Meiling". This poem was written in 1936, when the Red Army lost the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" and led the troops to fight in the deep mountains and old forests. Due to the long-term lack of contact with the outside world, the Red Army in the deep mountains and old forests sent people to the surrounding counties to inquire about intelligence, but the people sent out could not withstand the enemy's ** and defected. According to the history of the party: "* In the army, a seasoned commissioner was sent to inquire for information, but as soon as he got off the mountain, he was captured by the enemy and betrayed the Red Army under the coercion and lure of the enemy. Later, when he came back, he said that he had contacted the county organization and hoped that Commander Chen would go down the mountain quickly. "Not long after ** came down the mountain, he was surrounded by enemy troops, and with the help of a farmer, ** the marshal withdrew to Meiling. Trapped in Meiling for more than 20 days, the morale of the Red Army gradually declined. In order to trap the Red Army on the mountain, the enemy began to set fire to the trees in the mountain forest. Seeing that the army was about to be in danger of being wiped out, the ** marshal wrote the classic poem "Three Chapters of Meiling" in the wardrobe as if he were dead, and the most domineering sentence was: "Go to Quantai to recruit the old department, and take a hundred thousand banners to kill Yama!.""Whenever I read "Three Chapters of Meiling", I can always be impressed by the heroic spirit of the ** marshal.
03 Victory Poems.
* The marshal's poems, in addition to being heroic, also have a bit of motivation. During the War of Liberation, Marshal ** and General Su Yu commanded the East China Field Army in Menglianggu, Shandong, and fought against the 74th Division of the Kuomintang. The 74th Division was known as "the head of the five main forces of the Kuomintang" at that time. The whole army, from soldiers to generals, is all configured. The division commander Zhang Lingfu was the "Whampoa 4th Student", a descendant of Chiang Kai-shek. The 74th Division was also a well-known "trump card unit" in Shandong, so he and Su Yu decided to defeat this division first, so as to shock the morale of the enemy army and achieve the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.
The Battle of Menglianggu According to ** Memoirs: "May 12, 1947. After consulting with Comrade Su Yu, the whole army penetrated into the center of the enemy army, divided the units of the 74th Division, and cut off the connection between the various units of the 74th Division. On the night of the 13th, a general attack on the 74th Division was launched. After three days of fierce fighting, the 74th Division was annihilated, the division commander Zhang Lingfu was killed by our army, and the Battle of Menglianggu won a great victory. This victory dealt a heavy blow to the foundation of the enemy army in Shandong and reversed the situation in East China, and the ** marshal wrote the morale-boosting "Menglianggu Campaign" with great interest: "Menglianggu was on the Ghost and God, and the 74th Division had no place to escape. The war situation in East China has changed, and the military aircraft in northern Shaanxi have been wonderful. More like the rain to promote the wheat ripening, the success of the day is close to the Tao Tao. ”
This poem by the marshal is catchy to read, giving people a refreshing feeling of "after the war" and a sense of encouragement that "hope has come and the revolutionary cause is about to succeed." It has a bit of a flavor of Gorky's "Petrel". 04 Life Poetry.
In addition to leading troops to fight, he wrote poems on the battlefield. The marshal was also a romantic poet full of life. ** The marshal wrote in "Praise Chunlan" to his beloved wife Zhang Qian: "Delicate and elegant, the world is uncomfortable, and thousands of purples and thousands of reds are jealous and fragrant." In a very romantic way, he praised his beloved wife's elegant temperament and extraordinary appearance. Later, when the two separated, the ** marshal missed his beloved wife very much, so he wrote a poem "Sending Poems" for his beloved wife: "The ground is frozen and the weather is cold and the northwest travels, and the mountains and rivers are far away. It is the most windy and snowy night in the deserted village, and I want you to chant until dawn. This poem is recorded in "The Family Life of the Generals": "This is written when the ** marshal received an order to go to Yan'an and missed his wife and children in his heart. From the above two poems written to his wife, it is not difficult to see the deep love of the marshal for his wife. It also shows the romantic side of the ** marshal.
* The marshal's strictness of his children was also written into his poems. In 1961, the first child was admitted to the Kazakh military industry. The children with the "background" of the marshal's family make ** a little worried about their words and deeds outside. So he wrote "Shedanhuai" to his children, and told Haosu, Xiaolu, and Xiaoshan. This poem is an ancient style poem, the content of the poem is to exhort children to know how to be hard and simple, not to forget Marxism-Leninism, to treat others politely, to maintain good conduct, to learn technology seriously, and not to lose heart from playthings. From this it is not difficult to see that the ** marshal is still a strict father who is sensible. ** During his lifetime, the marshal also created many well-known poems, which are almost perfect in terms of rhythm and meaning. Whether these poems are written about war or life, they are always so contagious, refreshing and unforgettable. **The marshal deserves to be the "poetry marshal" of both civil and military affairs.
