One day in July 1953, Deng Hua, commander of the Chinese Volunteers, returned to China to report to work and met ***
At that time, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea had ended victoriously, and Mr. Peng felt that there were many experiences worth summing up in this war, so he arranged a task for Deng Hua: organize a writing team as soon as possible to summarize the lessons and lessons.
Mr. Peng also specially explained that the writing team must be selected from the front-line troops and must have combat experience.
Deng Hua nodded in agreement, saying that this is easy to do, there are many pens in various units with such experience, and he will arrange it.
However, Mr. Peng made another request, which made Deng Hua feel very difficult.
What are the requirements?Mr. Peng saidIn the report, it is not allowed to mention the name of ***, nor can he boast about his achievements.
This requirement undoubtedly made Deng Hua very difficult, because after all, Mr. Peng was the commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army, and he led the troops into the DPRK, and he commanded those important battles.
Therefore, not writing Mr. Peng's name in the report is impossible in any case, and it is not in line with the facts.
However, Mr. Peng did not listen to Deng Hua's opinion, still insisted on his request, and gave Deng Hua a few reasons:
First, the decision to send troops to Korea was great and wise, and without this decision, the reputation of today's volunteers would not have been far-reaching, the Yankees would not have been severely attacked, and the situation and status of today would not have been achieved.
Second, the victory won by the Volunteer Army was not commanded by him, but by the Military Commission and the Central Military Commission.
Third, the Chinese Volunteers dispatched troops under very difficult circumstances, and without the support of the broad masses of the people, without the sacrifices of comrades on the logistical front, and without the heroic fighting of commanders and fighters at all levels, the final victory would not have been achieved.
Therefore, Mr. Peng said to Deng Hua that he must write according to his requirements, otherwise, the report will not pass to him.
However, Deng Hua still felt very embarrassed, although he understood Mr. Peng's feelings, but from the perspective of seeking truth from facts, it was still unreasonable not to write Mr. Peng's name, so Deng Hua kept looking for someone to coordinate and persuade Mr. Peng.
In the end, Mr. Peng finally relented and said that his name could be mentioned in the report, but it must appear when summarizing the problem, and when we failed, we could add his name.
In the first to the fifth battles, the Volunteer Army did have many lessons of failure, and Mr. Peng believed that as a commander, he did not command and dispatch well, and he must bear this responsibility.
When Mr. Peng finished saying these requirements, Deng Hua's heart was filled with sourness, why was the Chinese Volunteer Army able to defeat the powerful coalition?In addition to our loveliest front-line soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice and brave fighting, there is also Mr. Peng's high style and bright festival, and the achievements are not stained at all, but he wants to take all the mistakes on himself, what a valuable spirit! !
Although Deng Hua still couldn't get over it in his heart, he didn't want to disobey Mr. Peng's order anymore, so he immediately organized a writing team to comprehensively summarize the lessons of the Korean War and complete the tasks assigned to him by Mr. Peng.
In August 1955, the report was finally completed, and after Mr. Peng read it, he was also very satisfied, and signed it as soon as possible.
