Chen Bojun: Chen Bojun, an outstanding military leader who relies on him, is a founding general and one of the most important leaders. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the main forces of the Red Army were reorganized to form an organizational structure of three divisions, and Chen Bojun was appointed as the first brigade commander of the 120th Brigade of the 359th Division of the Eighth Route Army. However, in less than three months, he was replaced by the deputy brigade commander**. The reason was that he hit the car driver on impulse, made a serious mistake and was forced to leave his original position. Chen Bojun was born in November 1910 in an ordinary peasant family in Sichuan, he was brilliant from an early age, and was successfully admitted to the Provincial Normal School. While in school, he was expelled from school for participating in patriotic movements. After leaving school, with the dream of joining the army, he was successfully admitted to the sixth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and received communist education, believing that the Communist Party is the savior of China.
After graduating, he participated in the Northern Expedition, and in 1927, in the face of Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal and the White Terror, he firmly sided with the Communist Party and participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising in the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area. Chen Bojun received a professional military education, which was very rare in the Red Army at that time, so he was highly valued. ** attaches great importance to the education of revolutionary cadres, and founded the Red Army Cadre Teaching Brigade, with Lu Chi, a graduate of the fourth phase of Huangpu, as the captain, and Chen Bojun as the deputy captain and secretary of the party branch, and the two became partners. However, it is regrettable that due to an accident, Chen Bojun killed Lu Chi by mistake. In the spring of 1928, the Red Army wiped out a well-trained Kuomintang unit and captured a large amount of trophies, including a delicate small pistol, which Chen Bojun was very fond of. However, the pistol accidentally got wet, the trigger rusted, and it was almost unusable.
Lu Chi joked: "Comrade Chen Bojun, throw away this broken gun." Chen Bojun was reluctant, so he took great pains to disassemble the pistol parts, clean them with kerosene, and finally restore them to normal after arduous repairs. However, when he wanted to show off in front of Lu Chi, Lu Chi had already gone out to work for many days. Chen Bojun gestured with a small pistol and said to Lu Chi: "Look, this is not a 'half-catty iron'. However, he forgot that there was still a bullet in the chamber. After pulling the trigger, there was a "bang", and Lu Chi was shot and fell to the ground. Chen Bojun froze and shouted loudly to the comrades around him to help rescue him. Lu Chi died of his injuries, and Chen Bojun made a big mistake and was immediately detained to wait for his superiors to deal with it. Some demanded that Chen Bojun be executed, arguing that it would be fair to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth. **After learning about this, he did not rush to conclusions and decided to "save" Chen Bojun's life.
** At the conference, he said: "Lu Chi is a good comrade, Chen Bojun is not a bad person, they are both from Huangpu School, they perform well, and the two are like brothers." We are very short of such people, can we only mourn one person?*'s words infected everyone, but some people asked: "Could it be that Chen Bojun killed someone and ended it?"* replied: "Of course not, we have to punish him, all the work that Lu Chi has not completed is done by Chen Bojun alone, and he must be given an appropriate punishment." In the end, the organization punished Chen Bojun for party probation and a hundred boards, saving his life. Afterwards, Chen Bojun was very grateful to *** and thought that without the help of the chairman, this life would be gone. Chen Bojun was a brave general who made great achievements in the revolution.
After the failure of the Red Army's fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, Chen Bojun led more than 6,000 people to start the Long March, serving as a rearguard in the Xiangjiang Campaign, blocking the enemy several times his size, and making great sacrifices to protect the main force crossing the river. ** The marshal said to Chen Bojun affectionately: "Without you leading the 13th Division to fight the enemy the Xiangjiang River, the troops in front of us would not have been so smooth, I don't know what would have happened." In addition to his outstanding military exploits, Chen Bojun's revolutionary stance is firm, and he has always stood on the side of the first and fought against the first conspiracy. In July 1935, Chen Bojun was ordered to serve as chief of staff of the Red 9th Army of the Red Fourth Front Army. However, Zhang Guotao was dissatisfied with Chen Bojun and transferred him to the Red Army University as a teacher, which indirectly weakened his right to speak.
After the establishment of the Red Second Front Army, Xiao Ke, the former commander of the Red Sixth Army, served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Red Second Front Army, and under the struggle of the first, Chen Bojun became the commander of the Red Sixth Army. After the end of the Long March, ** and *** highly praised Chen Bojun's loyalty to the party and gave him a high evaluation. With the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, with a total of three main divisions, and Chen Bojun served as the brigade commander of the 359 Brigade. Many people mistakenly think that ** is the commander of the 359 Brigade, but in fact, the first brigade commander of the brigade is Chen Bojun, but he has been in office for a short time, and he was dismissed in less than three months. In October 1937, the main force of the 359th Brigade was ordered to go to the front line of resistance against Japan. However, at this moment, some accidents happened. Chen Bojun impulsively beat the driver, and was severely criticized by *** and ***.
On October 17, Chen Bojun received a message from his superiors asking him to send someone to the headquarters to collect the money. At that time, the materials of the Eighth Route Army were quite scarce, and Chen Bojun was worried about solving the problem of winter clothing for the troops. After learning that the headquarters was going to send money, he immediately called the accountant Yuan next to him and asked him to take a ride to Yan'an to collect the money. However, since there was a distance of more than 100 kilometers from the front line to Yan'an, Yuan needed to take a car. And it happened that there was a car going to Yan'an at that time. The car was a motorcycle school, and the young guy who drove it had just returned from studying in the USSR. Not only did he not agree with Accounting Yuan's ride, but he also spoke in a very bad manner, which caused a dispute between the two. It happened that Chen Bojun was having a meeting in the courtyard on the side, and came out to check the situation after hearing the quarrel. After he found out that Accountant Yuan was denied a ride, he patiently explained the situation to the car driver, hoping to resolve the dispute.
However, the driver did not know Brigade Commander Chen Bojun, and still had a tough attitude, was arrogant and unreasonable, and was noisy. This made Chen Bojun extremely angry, and he slapped the driver impulsively, which led to a serious consequence. Although Chen Bojun held a high position, the discipline of the Eighth Route Army was very strict, and it was strictly forbidden to beat his subordinates. Obviously, Chen Bojun's behavior violated discipline and caused a bad impact, which is indeed undeserved. Only two days later, ** learned that Chen Bojun had beaten the driver, and immediately informed him to go to Yan'an for Xi, and conducted serious criticism and education. Chen Bojun left the 359th Brigade and went to Yan'an Party School to study and Xi, temporarily stopping front-line work, and his post as brigade commander was replaced by **. For many years after that, Chen Bojun stayed in the rear until May 1942, when he was appointed deputy commander of the 385 Brigade, responsible for defending Yan'an and the security of the third brigade.
Chen Bojun beat the driver on impulse, which caused a serious negative impact, and eventually lost the position of brigade commander, which had a direct adverse impact on his future development. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Bojun actively assisted Marshal *** in establishing a military academy and made important contributions to the training of a large number of military talents. In 1955, Chen Bojun was awarded the rank of general, and in his later years, he won the trust of *** until his death due to illness in February 1972.
