On July 3, 1980, Comrade Deng Hua, vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences and member of the First Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, passed away in Shanghai at the age of 70. Although he has only been in the military for less than three years, he has made great contributions to the country and its people, and his passing is heartbreaking and full of nostalgia. Deng Hua, whose name is Shiqiu, was born in 1910 in Yongning Township, Chenzhou, Hunan Province. Compared to most people, Deng Hua came from a scholarly family and received a strict private school education at an early age. In 1925, he went to Changsha to study, where he was further exposed to new knowledge and revolutionary ideas. In March 1927, during the Northern Expedition, Deng Hua joined the Communist Party of China and began his life as a proletarian revolutionary fighter.
After the defeat of the Great Revolution, Deng Hua participated in the Southern Hunan Uprising, and then entered the Jinggangshan Base Area, where he experienced the Agrarian Revolution, five anti-encirclement and suppression, the Long March, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. Until the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1950, he served as the first deputy commander of the Guangdong Provincial Military Region and presided over the campaign to liberate Hainan Island. As a veteran soldier who participated in the revolution in the early days, Deng Hua has been serving as a grassroots commander and party representative since the agrarian revolution, and his immediate boss is **. Because of his outstanding performance, Deng Hua was highly appreciated, and until the Liberation War, he was still one of the most outstanding generals. In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Deng Hua was appointed as the first deputy commander and first deputy political commissar of the Chinese People's Volunteers, becoming the right-hand man of Marshal ***.
During his time in Korea, although he wanted Chen Geng to take his post and himself as the third deputy commander, this move was rejected because Deng Hua's status and intelligence were indispensable in the situation at that time. ** regards Deng Hua as a personal confidant and hopes that he will be absolutely loyal to him, but Deng Hua's behavior does not seem to meet **'s expectations. After the end of the first five battles to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the north and the south fell into a state of fighting and talking. In order to strive for more favorable peace conditions, Deng Hua traveled back and forth to Beijing many times to report the situation in North Korea to the Military Commission and the Military Commission and to solicit opinions. ** invited Deng Hua to his home to catch up with the old days, and asked about the situation in North Korea and *** instructions on war and peace talks. Deng Hua did not say much, briefly introduced the current overall situation to **, and avoided talking about **'s sensitive issues.
When asked again, Deng Hua did not hide that Mr. Peng was solely responsible for everything, and he was just assisting in handling it. Subsequently, he left **'s home on the grounds that he was short of time and needed to return to North Korea immediately to report to Mr. Peng. ** Surprised by this, he thought that Deng Hua should be grateful to himself, after all, he was his mentor. He felt that Deng Hua had gone to North Korea now and had a good relationship with Mr. Peng, so he had no reservations about his old man, which was an ungrateful traitor!But Deng Hua was completely unaware of this kind of thinking. He doesn't like this kind of so-called "relationship" and "human sophistication". Revolutionaries dedicate everything to the country and the people and never seek personal gain, so why should they bother to compete for fame and fortune?Because of this belief, he is incompatible with many people, especially the ** faction of people who are cold to him.
Therefore, in 1959, when Mr. Peng was attacked at the Lushan Conference, Deng Hua also became the target of the attack, and he assisted Mr. Peng as the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, but he was unable to defend himself, and even took the initiative to ask to give up his current position and enter the Nanjing Military Academy to study, but he was rejected and was in a predicament for a while. At that time, he was in the limelight, and he had just become Minister of Defense and presided over the daily work of the Military Commission, and he was a veritable authority in the military. Because he has a grudge against Deng Hua, others are also reluctant to give him face, so as not to cause internal contradictions. In the end, it was suggested that Deng Hua should leave the army and be transferred to work in the Sichuan department. **After consideration, this proposal was approved. At this point, the attack on Deng Hua has come to an end for the time being.
During his tenure in Sichuan, Deng Hua was not discouraged by unfair accusations, on the contrary, he actively went deep into various places to conduct investigations, solved a large number of thorny problems that others did not dare to deal with, and won a high reputation in the local area. Until 1977, Deng Hua was appointed vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences and a member of the Communist Party of China's ** Military Commission, which was equivalent to his late 18 years of justice, but he did not complain. However, for national defense and the army, it is undoubtedly a huge loss that an outstanding military talent has been buried for a long time!
