In 1938, ** married **, Chen Bojun wrote a letter against it. In response, ** replied: "The sky can't fall." ”
It turned out to be Comrade Bojun's fellow countryman. ”
General Chen Bojun stood next to *** and explained: "Comrade Chen Bojun mentioned by the chairman is a veteran soldier in Jinggangshan. It was precisely because of ***'s words that Chen Bojun was protected in that special period.
So, why does *** care so much about Chen Bojun?** said: "Our party is in need of people like you. Chen Bojun was born in Dazhou, Sichuan, and when he was a child, he read revolutionary books extensively, and his thinking progressed rapidly.
However, he was expelled from school for attending ***. In 1926, with the National Revolutionary Army winning a series of victories in the Northern Expedition, including the liberation of important cities such as Wuhan, the momentum of the revolution continued to rise.
In order to cultivate more revolutionary talents, the Communist Party of China and the left wing of the Kuomintang established a branch of the Whampoa Military Academy in Wuhan, also known as the ** Military and Political School.
During the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chen Bojun, who had revolutionary ideals, was successfully admitted to the ** Military and Political School and became a member of the sixth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. Here he was able to listen to the teachings of *** and was attracted by his demeanor, which led to a strong interest in Marxist doctrine.
However, in April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup d'état, and the whole country was shrouded in white terror, and the Chinese Communists suffered a great deal of rage.
In the reactionary ** of the Kuomintang, Chen Bojun participated in the battle against the rebels in Wuhan and successfully joined the Chinese Communist Party. Faced with the critical revolutionary situation, ** decided to launch the Autumn Harvest Uprising.
At the meeting on September 10, 1927, the specific plans for the uprising were announced. Chen Bojun wanted to ask *** for advice on recruit training, so he took the initiative to go to the chairman.
During the revolutionary period, Chen Bojun noticed a young comrade and walked towards him. During the conversation, ** asked Chen Bojun in detail about his name and experience.
Chen Bojun honestly reported his situation to ***, and when *** learned that Chen Bojun had studied Xi at the Wuhan branch of the Huangpu Military Academy, he said happily: "Great, you are still a graduate of the Huangpu Military Academy, and our party needs a talent like you."
Chen Bojun raised the problems existing in the political and military training of recruits and expounded his views. Listen carefully and make your own suggestions from time to time.
At the end of the conversation, ** also conveyed many revolutionary truths to Chen Bojun and encouraged him to work hard and withstand the test of the revolution.
**After the defeat of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, in order to preserve the strength of the revolution, the chairman led the troops to Jinggangshan, created the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area, and preserved the fire for the victory of the revolution.
** The chairman ordered: a fine of 100 boards. After coming to Jinggangshan, the chairman created the Teaching Brigade of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, with Chen Bojun as the deputy captain and Lu Chi as the captain.
The two of them had a close relationship and worked together for many years, but in an accident, Chen Bojun shot and killed Lu Chi.
Chen Bojun and Lu Chi were members of the teaching brigade, and they successfully captured Yuxian County with the Red First Regiment led by *** and seized a lot of supplies. Chen Bojun got a worn-out pistol, which he cherished very much and played with it repeatedly.
When Lu Chi saw it, he jokingly said: "This broken gun can't even be pulled." Chen Bojun was reluctant to throw it away, disassembled and reassembled the gun, and wiped it with a towel several times to make the gun look brand new.
One day, when Lu Chi came back from the battlefield, Chen Bojun showed off with a gun, but accidentally shot a bullet, Lu Chi fell to the ground and stopped breathing instantly.
When Chen Bojun encountered a sudden tragedy during the Jinggangshan period, no one could have predicted it. He fell to his knees and called out the names of his old comrades-in-arms over and over again, however, Lu Chi could no longer hear his call.
After the incident, the organization began to discuss how to deal with Chen Bojun. The soldiers of the soldiers' committee grabbed Chen Bojun tightly, pushed him in front of the chairman, and demanded that he be shot.
The chairman temporarily calmed everyone's emotions and locked Chen Bojun in a confinement room. The chairman was also deeply saddened by the unfortunate death of Lu Chi. After inquiring about what happened, he found Zhang Lingbin, director of the Soldiers' Committee, and asked in an inquiring tone: "Captain Lu's death was killed by mistake, do you think it's okay not to execute Chen Bojun?"
**While dealing with affairs, Zhang Lingbin reported to him the request of some of the fighters to kill him. ** said that Chen Bojun couldn't kill Lu Chi just because he killed him by mistake, so he would lose two talented commanders.
He asked Zhang Lingbin to go back to do the ideological work of the fighters and hold a meeting to explain the reason why Chen Bojun was not killed. Although some of the fighters had deep feelings for Lu Chi, after Zhang Lingbin's explanation and ***'s emphasis, they finally accepted the decision.
At the meeting, ** emphasized that Chen Bojun and Lu Chi are both good comrades, and Chen Bojun did not intentionally kill people, but just accidentally went off while joking. He emphasized the military talent and importance of both of them, hoping that the fighters would understand and support the decision.
We will not kill him, but we will punish him severely. Comrade Chen Bojun's work should be increased, and he would be beaten 100 times, what do you think?
There was no objection, and the chairman found a bamboo board, but it only stopped after more than 20 hits.
Chen Bojun mentioned in his memories that ** was not to physically punish himself, but to warn himself and calm everyone's emotions. ** The way in which this incident was handled was very appropriate, he proceeded from the reality of the Red Army, combined the seriousness of the revolutionary law with the flexibility of humanitarianism, taught the young and vigorous Chen Bojun a lesson, and played a role in educating the soldiers.
Chen Bojun was transferred from the teaching brigade because of this incident and demoted to the deputy company commander of a regiment and a company. The historical facts of Chen Bojun's later glorious revolution proved that this decision was completely correct.
During the Yan'an period, Chen Bojun was praised as a talent in the Red Army. With the growing ranks of the Red Army, the Kuomintang launched a large-scale offensive against the ** Soviet area. Chen Bojun has always been active in the struggle against encirclement and suppression, and has made great achievements.
In 1934, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized heavy troops to launch an attack on the Red Army, and the Red Army, under the erroneous command of the leadership, began to make a strategic shift and embarked on a 25,000-mile long march that attracted worldwide attention.
In this arduous Long March, Chen Bojun, as the commander of the 13th Division of the Red Fifth Army, received the task of covering the retreat of the main force. He resolutely carried out the order and led the 13th Division of the Red Fifth Army to set off to participate in the Long March, and the main task was to cover the ** column and snipe for the rear of the main Red Army.
In the course of the Long March, the Red Army successfully repelled several enemy attacks, but when breaking through the fourth blockade line, the Red Army suffered extremely heavy losses, from the initial more than 80,000 to more than 30,000.
In this battle, in order to cover the retreat of the main Red Army, most of the soldiers of the Red Fifth Army died bravely, and in the end only Chen Bojun's 13th Division remained. At this time, Chen Bojun and the majority of commanders and fighters began to miss the *** who had led them to win the battle, and they asked to return to their leadership positions.
In January 1935, a meeting was held in Zunyi, and he returned to his leadership position, which was unanimously welcomed by the majority of soldiers.
Under the command of ***, the Zunyi Conference was successfully held, and the Red Army successfully crossed the Jinsha River and achieved a reversal of the situation. Chen Bojun was in charge of covering during the Long March, so he earned the nickname "Iron Ass".
After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, they met with him many times and praised him as a "Red Army talent". Red.
1. After the division of the Fourth Front Army, Chen Bojun was transferred to the Red Fourth Front Army as chief of staff, and he always stood in the perspective of the overall situation, supported the correct decision of the Red Army to go north, and resolutely opposed the wrong line of the Red Army.
In 1936, Chen Bojun was appointed as the commander of the Sixth Army Corps of the Red Second Front Army for his outstanding military achievements, and served as the political commissar.
In red. On the eve of the victorious rendezvous of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Front Armies, ** personally wrote a letter to Chen Bojun, in which he inquired in detail about Chen Bojun's living situation.
In this letter, ** used a rare stamp, which fully reflected his concern for Chen Bojun.
During the Long March, Chairman ** once said: "No matter when and where, learn as much as you can." In October 1937, the 359th Brigade was stationed in Luochuan, and the weather was already very cold, but the problem of the soldiers' clothing and clothing had not been solved, which made Chen Bojun, as the brigade commander, very worried.
On October 17, Yuan Accountant of the brigade headquarters planned to take a motorcycle to Yan'an to pick up ** to solve the problem of winter clothing for the troops, but the driver refused, and the two had an argument.
Chen Bojun tried to dissuade them, but the driver was arrogant and even abused Chen Bojun. Chen Bojun was very angry, so he slapped the driver. Afterwards, Chen Bojun regretted his actions, but he thought that the driver's attitude without political stance and organizational concept was really infuriating.
Chen Bojun was rumored to be in the ears of *** because of the beating incident during the Yan'an period, and ** personally criticized and suggested that he strengthen his Xi study. After the conversation, Chen Bojun was asked to self-reflect and write an examination before talking in detail.
Chen Bojun has no complaints about ***'s criticism and teachings, he deeply reflects and promises to correct his mistakes. Soon after, he was transferred to the ** party school to study Xi, and **Zhang Wentian and other **leaders have repeatedly in-depth with him on issues such as personal cultivation, ideology and working methods.
** Special emphasis should be placed on the principled, Marxist, and objective approach to any issue. During his stay in Yan'an, ** and Chen Bojun often met and exchanged letters, but their interactions were all based on official affairs, and their personal relationship was also very deep.
In September 1937, Chen Bojun's second brother Chen Duzhai served in the Kuomintang army, and he came to Yan'an. **After learning about it, he personally set up a banquet to entertain them and his group, and several of them talked about the past and the present together.
When they left, ** also gave him more than 300 yuan for travel expenses, and hoped that after he returned, he would actively publicize the anti-Japanese resistance, do some united front work, and change the understanding and views of relatives and friends on the Communist Party of China.
In the letter dated October 9, ** also asked Chen Bojun with concern: "Have you read?".In any case, I always Xi learn a little more knowledge, consider the principles clearly, improve myself, and change my original understanding, which is what I hope the most.
In 1938, there was news in Yan'an that *** and ** were about to get married, which caused opposition from the leading comrades, and Chen Bojun also expressed his opposition.
On the morning of November 22, Chen Bojun discussed the matter with the revolutionary comrades, and in a fit of excitement, he decided to write a letter to ***, which began with the title "Dear ***, the letter lists the views of others on this matter.
The vice president forwarded a reply letter, in which he said: "Comrade Bojun, thank you for your concern for me, the sky can't fall." Chen Bojun realized that he was reckless, so he didn't say anything more.
He wrote in his diary that day: "This incident has given me a deep understanding, and it can be seen that *** attaches great importance to this matter. In the future, when I write, I will avoid such recklessness, which needs to be corrected Xi habit. ”
During the revolutionary period, the chairman did not have a grudge against Chen Bojun because of something. He trusts Chen Bojun very much, and Chen Bojun has always followed the chairman and actively learned Xi cultural knowledge.
During the years of the Revolutionary War, he made great contributions to the founding of New China. In 1955, the Chinese People's Liberation Army held a ceremony to confer titles, and Chen Bojun was awarded the rank of general.
After the award ceremony, Chen Bojun put the rank certificate on the table and said to his family: "If it weren't for ***, I would have died that year." If it weren't for my mistake, Lu Chi would have been a general.
On May Day in 1967, under the special period, Chen Bojun suffered an impact, but the party organization did not forget him and still included him in the list of visitors. On the tower of Tiananmen Square, ** looked at Chen Bojun and asked with concern: "I heard that you are sick?"
Chen Bojun nodded lightly, responding to the chairman's concern. Although it is only a few short sentences, it reflects the revolutionary friendship between the two for more than 40 years.
In October 1968, on the eve of the 12th Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee, he cordially met with representatives from all walks of life. When I saw that one of the representatives was from Daxian County, Sichuan, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Is it Comrade Bojun's fellow countryman?"
The delegate was a little puzzled and asked which comrade it was, and he immediately explained: "Comrade Chen Bojun, whom the chairman is referring to, is an old comrade from the Jinggangshan period and the president of the Higher Military Academy.
In the Military Academy of the People's Liberation Army, the statue of General Chen Bojun has been properly protected, and even in that special period, he has not been greatly impacted.
However, this heroic general, who fought all his life for the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people, finally passed away in 1974 at the age of 64. In 2009, in order to commemorate him, the Chen Bojun Memorial Hall was completed.
At the entrance of the memorial hall, there is a statue of General Chen Bojun, which is engraved with ***'s praise for him - "Red Army talent".
