Peng Xuefeng, the highest general of the New Fourth Army who died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, was only 37 years old.
In May 1936, Peng Xuefeng, then the political commissar of the Fourth Division of the Red First Army, attended a cadre meeting in Yanchuan. After the meeting, Peng Xuefeng was named separately, and it turned out to beTalk to him.
Peng Xuefeng was nervous after learning the news, what does it mean that the ** chief suddenly talked to him at this time, is it because".That thing
** asked Peng Xuefeng to talk because he heard some negative discussions, he wanted to find someone to understand the specific situation, and after thinking about it, he decided to ask Peng Xuefeng.

Peng Xuefeng came to ***'s residence nervously, and immediately beckoned Peng Xuefeng to sit down and chat. **As soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned the battle of Wuqizhen, and when Peng Xuefeng heard that he was going to talk about this, he danced and told *** about the situation of this battle.
The two of them talked like this, one by one, and they chatted very warmly at first, but they didn't expect to slap the table while talking. ** slapped the table angrily, and Peng Xuefeng also slapped the table angrily.
So, what is the reason why Peng Xuefeng actually slapped the table at *** and lost his temper?

1. A brave general with both civil and military skills
On September 9, 1907, Peng Xuefeng was born in a poor peasant family in Zhenping County, Henan Province. Although his family was poor, under the care of his grandfather and relatives, Peng Xuefeng still had the opportunity to read and write. Peng Xuefeng's grandfatherPeng Rulan, is a private school teacher, under the careful education of his grandfather, Peng Xuefeng learned a lot of cultural knowledge.
Peng Xuefeng left his grandfather at the age of 14 and went to Tianjin to join his unclePeng Yanqing, Peng Yanqing is also a teacher, and with the help and care of his uncle, Peng Xuefeng was admitted with excellent resultsNankai Middle School。It is not easy for Peng Xuefeng, who was born in poverty, to come to this point.
During her studies, Peng Xuefeng's living expenses became a big problem. With the help of the principal, Peng Xuefeng stayed in the school as a Chinese teacher, working and studying.

During his studies at Nankai Middle School, Peng Xuefeng's knowledge and experience have been greatly improved, especially the study and comprehension of various progressive ideas, which made Peng Xuefeng realize the importance of revolution.
Since 1925, Peng Xuefeng has been reading extensively"New Youth".The Communist Manifestoand other progressive books, and also participated in a series of *** to establish a student self-government, and was elected president.
From this time on, Peng Xuefeng was ready to devote himself to the revolutionary cause for life, and in June of the same year, he resolutely joined the Communist Party of China, became a real proletarian fighter, and started a magnificent revolutionary career.
Peng Xuefeng, who was born as a teacher, is not only talented, but also has a great talent for military command.

After the Battle of Leyi, the Red Third Army rested in the Nanfeng area, Peng Xuefeng,Guo BingshengLed the Red 2nd Division to garrison Leyi.
The troops rested at Leyi, and in August of the same year, the Kuomintang troops suddenly attacked. In the face of the menacing army of the Kuomintang, the division commander Guo Bingsheng suddenly had a negative fear of the enemy, Peng Xuefeng was keenly aware of Guo Bingsheng's emotional problems, and reported it to *** in time
He immediately made a decision and organized a meeting of cadres above the regimental level of the Second Red Division, at which Guo Bingsheng's ideological errors were greatly criticized.

At the same time, the Kuomintang army also launched a fierce attack on Nanfeng, Yihuang and other places. Peng Xuefeng led the division headquarters to move quickly, while Guo Bingsheng led the Fifth Regiment to continue westward.
Guo Bingsheng's stubborn insistence on westward expansion reminded Peng Xuefeng of Guo Bingsheng's wavering thoughts before, and Peng Xuefeng immediately rushed to the Jiangxi Military Region to find it, and then personally took the accompanying arms, a total of 15 people, and went north to chase Guo Bingsheng and the Fifth Regiment.
Sure enough, Guo Bingsheng was going to rebel, Peng Xuefeng brought back the Fifth Regiment, and Guo Bingsheng took advantage of the rainy day to run into Le'an County, betrayed the revolution, and became a lackey of the Kuomintang.
Peng Xuefeng was careful and cautious in this incident, and his firm position was highly praised by the Communist Party of ChinaOrder of the Red Star

In 1934, the Red Army's fifth anti-encirclement campaign failed, and Peng Xuefeng was appointed as the director of the Operations Bureau of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission to assistCommand was launched.
The Red Army's Long March was a strategic shift forced after a mistake in decision-making, and on the Long March, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army came to the brink of life and death several times, until the Zunyi Conference in 1935, when the new correct leadership represented by the Chinese Revolution was once again put on the right track.

The west wind is strong, and the geese in the sky are called frost and morning moon.This one"Remembering Qin'e Loushanguan".It is a poem written by *** after the victory in the Battle of Zunyi. In the whole battle, the most important battle was the attack on Loushan Pass, and Peng Xuefeng personally led the 13th Regiment to serve as the main attack.Frost and early moon, the sound of horses' hooves is broken, and the sound of trumpets is swallowed.
Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning.
From the beginning, the mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood.
After the Red Army crossed the Chishui River, Chiang's army gathered 400,000 troops and came to encircle. In the face of several times the number of troops exceeding itself, the Red Army moved from southern Sichuan to Tashi in Yunnan for reorganization, and then unexpectedly conquered Tongzi County, in order to confuse Chiang's army.
The enemy's troops in northern Qianbei were empty, and the ** command troops were ready to take advantage of the situation to occupy Loushan Pass, and the main frontal attack task of Loushan Pass fell on the 13th Regiment led by Peng Xuefeng.
Fig**After receiving the task, Peng Xuefeng quickly led the Red 13th Regiment to Loushan Pass. On the way forward, with the main force of the Guizhou armyDu ZhaohuaTroop encounters. The brave man won when he met on a narrow road, and the officers and men of the Red 13th Corps fought bravely and beat Du Zhaohua's troops to flee in a hurry.
Although the victory was achieved, Peng Xuefeng's task was intensified, and the news of the Red Army's attack on Loushan Pass had already been learned by the enemy. This also means that Peng Xuefeng not only has to take Loushan Pass, but also has to take it quickly!
Once the Kuomintang army reacted, it was a failure.
FigOil painting of the Battle of Zunyi.
Peng Xuefeng quickened the pace of the new army, and after arriving at Loushan Pass, he quickly launched operational deployment, and then quickly organized an attack.
In the early stage of the battle, the enemy occupied the high ground and seized the most favorable combat position, and the Red Army was never able to capture the commanding heights.
Peng Xuefeng reacted quickly, changed his combat policy, and ordered a sneak attack from the flank of Dianjin Mountain.
The terrain on the side of Dianjin Mountain is extremely steep, to put it bluntly, it is a cliff, but for those who are nimble, you can climb it.
Peng Xuefeng immediately assigned people, and sure enough, a Red Army soldier successfully climbed to the top of the cliff, then lowered the rope and pulled the rest of the commando soldiers up one by one.
The stealth commando team successfully occupied the heights of Dianjin Mountain. The enemy army organized death squads to launch a fierce attack on Dianjinshan, and enemy reinforcements also arrived. Peng Xuefeng commanded the 13th Regiment to stubbornly defend and launched 5 charges, successfully breaking through the enemy's defensive line and capturing many positions on both sides of Loushan Pass.
With reinforcements behind the enemy, Peng Xuefeng still commanded the 13th Regiment to attack continuously, and finally succeeded in taking Loushan Pass, blocking the enemy's subsequent attack to the death, and obtaining the prerequisites for the victory of the Zunyi Conference.

2. Dare to slap the table with the chairman
Speaking of Peng Xuefeng's slapping of the table, we have to analyze the causes and consequences of this matter.
In May 1936, after Peng Xuefeng attended a cadre meeting in Yanchuan, he was named and left alone. Peng Xuefeng first self-censored to see if he had any problems recently, and after pondering for a long time, Peng Xuefeng suddenly thought of some things that had happened in the second column recently.
This matter is not big or small, but it is a very important issue for the chairman, and that is unity!
Whether it is the unity of the military and the people, or the unity of the higher and lower levels, the chairman attaches great importance to cultivating the spirit of unity in the troops, and only by uniting as one and working as one can we be invincible on the battlefield, and this is also an important reason why the chairman can always defeat the strong with the weak.

"After the victory of the Long March, the living conditions of the soldiers have not improved, and it can only be said that they are more stable than during the Long March, but the food conditions are still relatively poor. This is also something that cannot be helped, in that era of war and chaos, not to mention that the soldiers had no food to eat, and the common people were so hungry that they gnawed on the bark.
However, some soldiers with poor consciousness complained about this, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army and strengthen morale, Huang Kecheng took the lead in rectifying discipline. For this reason, Huang Kecheng and others punished a group of people, some of whom were forced to violate discipline because of the situation, but they were severely punished by the organization. ”
Peng Xuefeng sighed as he spoke, and then said:"The unit restored the establishment of the First Army Corps, revoked the number of the Third Army Corps, reorganized the Third Army Corps into the Red Fourth Division, and sent new leading cadres, which also led to the original cadres and soldiers of the Third Army Corps gossiping. ”
After hearing this, he immediately pulled down his face, slammed the table, and said angrily: ".It's complete mountaineering!
After hearing this, Peng Xuefeng also stood up and slapped the table suddenly: ".There are only mountains, non-existentism!
Figwas shocked by Peng Xuefeng's strong attitude, and thought that he was wrong to slap the table first, so he calmed down and said to Peng Xuefeng earnestly"Tell me, I want to hear this grand theory that there are only mountains and no doctrines! ”
After hearing this, Peng Xuefeng argued with reason and moved Jinggangshan out. Jinggangshan is the first rural revolutionary base established by the Communist Party of China and the first of the Communist Party of China."Mountain”。After Jinggangshan, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army launched hundreds of armed uprisings, established large and small base areas throughout the country, and expanded the revolutionary situation.
It is because of this, big and small".MountainThe Chinese revolution was able to unite and finally overthrow the rule of imperialism. Although it is".Mountain", but it doesn't exist".isms"All this is only one component of the revolutionary ranks and should not be detained".Mountaineering"Big hat!
Peng Xuefeng borrowed Jinggangshan to argue with ***, and took Jinggangshan as an example to explain the so-called ".Mountain", for the current situation of the three army corps, it can only be regarded as ".UnitismDepartmentalism

**After listening to what Peng Xuefeng said, indeed, what Peng Xuefeng said has some truth, and the original intention of carrying out the rectification work before is also good, although the method is a little extreme, but it is also a good intention, if there are shortcomings, it is the most rare to dare to tell the truth.
**After listening to Peng Xuefeng's big car".Macro theoryAfter nodding, he said to Peng Xuefeng"There are some questions I need to think about, you go back to work first! ”
After hearing this, Peng Xuefeng stood up and saluted ***, and went out to work.
After Peng Xuefeng left, he calmed down and thought about what Peng Xuefeng said. I have to admit that what Peng Xuefeng said is the truth, and it is also a very rare truth.
Prior to this, ** admired Peng Xuefeng very much, a civil and military all-rounder, a high talent in military command, able to win battles and endure hardships, and was a rare general.
FigPeng Xuefeng and **.
After this conversation, ** had a further understanding of Peng Xuefeng, and found that Peng Xuefeng was still a loyal and upright person who dared to tell the truth, and since then, ** has gradually attached importance to Peng Xuefeng.
In October of the same year, the Red Army was stationed in northern Shaanxi, where the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army were stationed at the same time, and the situation of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi was quite unfavorable. In this case, ** sent Peng Xuefeng to negotiate.
In order to ensure Peng Xuefeng's safety, ** was also dispatchedDressed as a groom to protect Peng Xuefeng's safety. After Peng Xuefeng came to Xi'an, he successfully met the patriotic generalsYang Hucheng, and reached an agreement with Yang Hucheng, and under the recommendation of Yang Hucheng, he opened up a relationship with Zhang Xueliang.
Fig**After that, Peng Xuefeng rushed to Lanzhou again and handed over the secret letter of ***Yu Xuezhong, Yu Xuezhong had a long talk with Peng Xuefeng after reading the letter. I have to admit that Peng Xuefeng is really a negotiator, and he can say that Yu Xuezhong is enthusiastic, not only becoming an ally of the Red Army, but also sending a large number of supplies to the Red Army.
Peng Xuefeng completed the task brilliantly, and gave Peng Xuefeng a rather difficult task, and ordered Peng Xuefeng to send an envoy to Taiyuan on his behalfYan XishanAgree to unanimously resist Japan, and it is better to pay some more money.
FigYan Xishan
After receiving the order, Peng Xuefeng went straight to the mansion of Yan Xishan in Taiyuan, Yan Xishan has been entrenched in Shanxi for many years, and his military strength is quite strong and the materials are quite sufficient. But at the same time, Yan Xishan is also famous".Iron RoosterIf you want Yan Xishan to make some money, it is still quite difficult.
As soon as Peng Xuefeng arrived, Yan Xishan deliberately gave Peng Xuefeng a dismissal, telling Peng Xuefeng that the Red Army wanted to attack Shanxi behind his back, obviously with bad intentions.
After hearing this, Peng Xuefeng immediately saw through Yan Xishan's conspiracy, and laughed instead of being angry:Mr. Yan laughed, the Red Army had no two hearts, and Mr. Yan also knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to stop the Japanese army on his own, and when the time came, Chiang Kai-shek would send heavy troops into Shanxi under the banner of rescuing Shanxi, and when the time came, would Mr. Yan listen to the Japanese or Chiang Kai-shek? ”
FigShanxi warlord Yan Xishan.
Peng Xuefeng said this very cleverly, the relationship between Yan Xishan and Chiang Kai-shek was already delicate, and Peng Xuefeng said this so that Yan Xishan had no room to fight back.
In order to reassure Yan Xishan, Peng Xuefeng said sincerely:"Mr. Yan rest assured, the Red Army is bent on resisting Japan and has no other ideas, and the Red Army is still very weak and needs to rely on Mr. Yan's support, how can it attack Mr. Yan? ”
Peng Xuefeng's sentence not only clearly expressed the sincerity of the Red Army, but also mentioned the issue of the Red Army's need for Yan Xishan's funding, telling Yan Xishan that both Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese were a very difficult hard bone, and it was better to cooperate with the Red Army, which was safe and safe.
FigChiang Kai-shek.
In the end, Yan Xishan agreed to the main forces of the Red Army to assemble in Xianyang, Taiyuan and Xi'an, allowed the CCP to carry out ** along the Yellow River for military supplies, and also funded the Red Army with 1 million rounds of ammunition, 200 hand-held machine guns and 5 cars.
can make Yan Xishan, who is not pulling out a dime, bleed profusely, Peng Xuefeng's ability is really not small.
**After learning that Peng Xuefeng completed the task excellently, he said happily:"Stabilize the northwest, unite to resist Japan, Peng Xuefeng lives up to his mission! ”
FigLaugh heartily.
In 1938, Peng Xuefeng once again served as ***Special Envoy"Came to Henan and served as the military minister of the Henan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.
After Peng Xuefeng came to Henan, the first thing he did was to visit the local magistrate, and the magistrate of Xihua County of the Kuomintang, under the mobilization of Peng Xuefeng, resolutely withdrew from the Kuomintang and joined the Communist Party of China. In Xihua, Zhoukou, Ruyang, Nanyang and other places, Peng Xuefeng contacted more than 20,000 militia forces, expanding the anti-Japanese force.
In October of the same year, Peng Xuefeng launched an eastward expedition, recovering the city along the way, expanding the army, establishing five county regimes successively, and creating a series of revolutionary base areas.

When the time came to 1941, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party entered a very delicate period, Chiang Kai-shek launched the second ** climax, and Peng Xuefeng led the Fourth Division to be sandwiched between the Japanese and Chiang Kai-shek.
Faced with this situation, Peng Xuefeng did not panic at all, and humorously mobilized the enthusiasm of the fighters, Peng Xuefeng raised his right fist and said to the fighters:"This is for the old day. ”He raised his left fist again and said with a smile"Well, leave it to Lao Jiang! ”
The soldiers laughed happily after hearing this, and Peng Xuefeng made another summary:"This is to fight the wolf with the right hand and prevent the dog with the left hand".

Peng Xuefeng's humor not only made the soldiers relaxed, but also encouraged the morale of the soldiers very well, the soldiers have been gearing up, vowing to live and die with the base area, Peng Xuefeng wants this effect, as long as there is this spirit, not to mention sandwiched between the Japanese and Chiang Kai-shek, even the old American aircraft artillery is not afraid!
In the follow-up battle, Peng Xuefeng took a two-pronged approach, while organizing the team to unfold".Anti-sweepingConsume the vital strength of the Japanese army, while cooperating with the Second and Third Divisions of the New Fourth Army to deal with Chiang Kai-shek's constant provocations and deter the Kuomintang army.
The Japanese, who suffered losses under Peng Xuefeng, gathered a large number of troops and, with the cooperation of aircraft and tanks, launched a decisive battle against Peng Xuefeng's Fourth Division, in an attempt to destroy the Fourth Division.
FigThe Japanese invaded China.
In the face of the menacing Japanese army, Peng Xuefeng".Rounded to zero", and the Japanese developed".Sparrow Wars", consume the enemy's living forces, and adapt flexibly and maneuverably. The Japanese had a great headache with this method of warfare, not only were they tossed back and forth, but it was also difficult to deal actual damage.
In this way, Peng Xuefeng led the Japanese army by the nose for more than a month, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, and the Japanese, who had the confidence of victory, were defeated by Peng Xuefeng.

Taking advantage of this time, Peng Xuefeng seized the time to engage in economic construction, set up machinery factories, textile factories, and other factories in the base areas, vigorously promoted industrial development, and also established night schools and literacy classes to carry out literacy eradication work.

IIIPeng XuefengDied in Balizhuang
When Peng Xuefeng was the commander of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army, he formed a cavalry regiment, which was also the first cavalry regiment of the New Fourth Army.
On the battlefield, most of the materials of the New Fourth Army were captured, and the war horses were easy to get, but it was difficult to get the best ones in hand. In order to allow the cavalry to exert the greatest combat effectiveness, Peng Xuefeng personally designed a new type of saber, this saber has a slender body, a light and thin back, sharp and convenient, specially used to restrain the enemy cavalry, this kind of saber is called by the soldiersSnow maple knife
FigSnow maple knife
The Snow Maple knife was put into service in 1942 and made its first appearance a big loss to the Japanese. In the battle to defend the summer harvest, Peng Xuefeng sent this cavalry regiment.
At the beginning of the battle, the cavalry regiment slaughtered the enemy in pieces, and more than 300 Japanese troops were cut down by Xuefeng knives. The Japanese puppet soldiers were even more afraid of the power of the Xuefeng Knife and surrendered without a fight.
In 1944, the cavalry regiment encountered the extremely well-equipped Kuomintang Eighth Cavalry Division, although Xue Feng's sword was brave, but compared to the basic equipment and excellent horses, in the end it was still a big cut behind the Kuomintang cavalry.
FigThe first cavalry regiment of the New Fourth Army.
The soldiers of the cavalry division of the New Fourth Army were fearless, shooting with pony guns when they were far away, and slashing with snow maple knives when they were close. Because Xue Feng's sword body was slender, the New Fourth Army still had the upper hand in close combat, and it didn't take long for the Kuomintang Eighth Cavalry Division to be defeated.
A cavalry regiment slaughtered a cavalry division to the ground, it is really a tiger and wolf regiment!
Since then, the cavalry regiment holding Xuefeng's sword has become Peng Xuefeng's trump card, and has made great achievements in the follow-up battles.
It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and a small Balizhuang suddenly cost Peng Xuefeng his life.

In September 1944, Peng Xuefeng led his troops to Balizhuang, which had only one Japanese puppet detachment, but the fortifications were extremely strong and there were many pillboxes.
Peng Xuefeng surrounded Balizhuang and concentrated artillery fire to attack, and it didn't take long for the Japanese puppet army stationed in Balizhuang to escape in a hurry, Peng Xuefeng said loudly:"Good boy, you're finally out! ”

Conclusion:
After Peng Xuefeng's sacrifice, ** personally wrote down the elegiac couplet, and this elegiac couplet has also become the longest elegiac couplet that *** has ever written.
"For the nation and the masses, twenty years of struggle have been born and died, and the motherland has been served; Fight Japan, fight traitors, millions of compatriots are free and equal, Ze is Changhuai. ”According to Peng Xuefeng's qualifications and achievements, if he does not die, he is at least a general, but it is a pity that God is jealous of talent, and General Peng Xuefeng died young at the age of 37.
