**In 1949, I visited Chen Mingren, and before entering the door, I saluted and shouted: Report, I am **.
Chen Mingren looked unusually nervous in a special reception room in Beijing. He thought with anxiety that the Kuomintang had been defeated in successive battles, and that the Communist Party was about to win, and although he had joined the Communist Party, he felt anxious at the moment.
Just as he was anxious, the guards knocked on his door and told him that something important was coming to see him. The news made Chen Mingren nervous to the point of creeping.
Chen Mingren hesitated for a moment, and finally walked out of the room, his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the visitor, and his nervousness and anxiety disappeared in an instant. Who is this particular visitor?
Why did he make Chen Mingren so excited? What is the special connection between Chen Mingren and the Communist Party? In the early days of the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang army mobilized a large army to focus on attacking the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army.
* The Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, led the Kuomintang army to carry out a big trap in the Northeast, using the strength of the vast number of peasants in the countryside, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army achieved **, and the situation was immediately reversed.
At the same time, the war in North China also reached a stalemate, and Chiang Kai-shek had no time to take care of it, so he could only hand over the northeast to Du Yuming, Chen Mingren and other generals.
* Realizing that Chiang Kai-shek had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Northeast, he decided to strengthen the ties between the base areas and launch a full-scale attack on the Northeast in order to gain the initiative. Siping is an important goal in his eyes, and the control of this transportation hub will have a significant impact on the Northeast war situation.
However, he did not expect that it would be Chen Mingren who would guard Siping. Chen Mingren regarded himself as a descendant of Chiang Kai-shek, but because of his perseverance in the War of Resistance against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek was afraid of him, and even thought that he might defect to the Communists.
Chen Mingren's relationship with Du Yuming was strained, but this did not affect his loyalty to the KMT. Under Du Yuming's order, he only brought 20,000 troops, but he had to hold on to Siping without reinforcements.
In the face of the more than 100,000 Northeast Democratic Alliance troops, Chen Mingren showed amazing perseverance and excellent command skills, and insisted on mediating with the enemy for several months. This heroic act was commended by Chiang Kai-shek, and Chen Mingren was awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Banner badge, which made him extremely proud.
The commander-in-chief also noticed Chen Mingren's heroic performance in Yan'an, considering him an extremely outstanding military leader.
Chiang Kai-shek did not disappoint the CCP, although Chen Mingren successfully resisted several attacks, but was immediately removed from his post for investigation because of the revelation of arson and grain grabbing. The original glittering medal has now become a piece of scrap metal, which makes Chen Mingren feel deeply lost, and he sits at home every day, feeling depressed.
Friend Cheng Qian visited many times, Chen Mingren often stood in front of the window and looked at the sky, and sighed from time to time: Although Chen Mingren has complaints, he can only remain silent in the face of Jiang's ** rule.
Time passed, and in 1948, Chen Mingren, who had been idle for a year, finally received a notice from Chiang, asking him to rush to the front line immediately to fight against the CCP.
Despite his previous exploits, Chen Mingren was well aware that Chiang Kai-shek saw him as a pawn and that even if he succeeded in defeating the Communists, he might be abandoned again.
Chen Mingren was deeply troubled by the corruption of the Kuomintang and the suspicion of Chiang Kai-shek, who had once been snubbed, but now he was in the middle of the court, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit him, including Hu Zongnan, Du Yuming, and even Bai Chongxi, who called to invite him to join their team.
Although Chen Mingren did not trust these people, he could not offend them, and eventually he chose to go to Hunan to seek refuge with Bai Chongxi. However, despite Chen Mingren's departure from the mountains, he still could not resist the tide of history, and the people chose the People's Liberation Army, and in the face of a million-strong army, Chen Mingren's strength was obviously insignificant.
In the face of the PLA's devastating offensive, Chen Mingren was forced to lead the corps to withdraw to Changsha, but Bai Chongxi still asked him to defend it. However, this order made Chen Mingren feel deeply helpless, because Changsha had already been burned once, and he did not want the people to suffer another fire.
At this time, Chen Mingren realized the hypocrisy of the Kuomintang, but he was in a dilemma. In the tossing and turning night, he received a knock on the door from his friend Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian said straight to the point: "Chen Mingren, let's revolt together!" Although the Kuomintang was already corrupt, Chen Mingren never thought of embarking on the path of an uprising.
Cheng Qian said worriedly: "Chen Mingren, can you really smile at the enmity? You once showed your decisiveness and killing against the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army in the Battle of Siping, which makes me a little worried.
I don't want to be a sinner for the ages, but ......”
After Cheng Qian conveyed Chen Mingren's attitude to ***, ** resolutely said: "Chen Mingren is a well-known 'martial idiot', and he has admired ** Commander-in-Chief since he was a child.
I still remember that when he was studying in Changsha, he often talked about the heroic deeds of the commander-in-chief in the battle of Naxi in Luzhou, Sichuan. At that time, the commander-in-chief was only 30 years old, and he led the guard to fight fiercely with more than 100,000 Beiyang troops for a month, and finally won the victory with fewer victories, which made Chen Mingren admire the commander-in-chief very much. ”
The Commander-in-Chief had a profound influence on Chen Mingren, and he was inspired and influenced by the Commander-in-Chief throughout his life, including devoting himself to the Commander-in-Chief, and also to follow in the footsteps of the Commander-in-Chief.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he led the first resolute resistance to the Japanese army, conquered the strategic points of the Japanese army, and recovered Longhu Mountain, Wan Town, Mangshi and other places, becoming one of the few generals in the Kuomintang army at that time who won the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan.
All this is inseparable from the spiritual encouragement of the commander-in-chief. * The Commander-in-Chief admired Tran's intellect and spirit, he had long noticed Tran and had been following his growth.
Coincidentally, ** gave the commander-in-chief a task that asked him to persuade Chen Mingren to join the Communist Party. In this regard, the ** commander-in-chief was full of confidence, and he patted his chest and promised: "This is simple, wasn't his younger brother Chen Mingxin captured when he was in Siping?"
Let's let his brother persuade him first. ”
In his younger brother's letter, he described the good living conditions and ideological education provided to him by the Communist Party, which made him deeply aware of the mistake of being an enemy of the people. After Chen Mingren received his brother's letter in Changsha, his heart was full of doubts and uncertainties.
However, a few days later, Cheng Qian visited again and brought with him an unexpected figure - Zhang Shizhao. Zhang Shizhao held Chen Mingren's hand and cordially said what his brother mentioned in his letter, which made him deeply feel the goodness of the Communist Party.
Chen Mingren's heart was deeply shaken by the name of the commander-in-chief. He asked excitedly: "If you join the Communist Party, we are comrades, can you meet him?" ”
Zhang Shizhao didn't expect Chen Mingren's hope to be so simple, but he was silent for a long time, and the candlelight flickered in his eyes. Finally, he sighed deeply: "Obviously, I haven't made a decision yet. ”
Zhang Shizhao and Cheng Qian looked at each other, and they understood that Chen Mingren was not so easy to persuade. These days, Chen Mingren has been hesitating, and just as he was deep in thought, there was a knock on his door again.
The person who came to talk to Chen Mingren on behalf of the CCP this time surprised him, and his voice was trembling: ".
Chen Mingren was overjoyed by Li Minghao's arrival, and he immediately notified his family to set up a banquet for hospitality. During the banquet, Li Minghao teased Chen Mingren in a relaxed way, which surprised him.
However, when Li Minghao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, Chen Mingren stood up in surprise. **The letter inscribed by himself made Chen Mingren feel extremely shocked.
In the letter, ** expressed his sincere heart to resist the Japanese invaders and defend his homeland, and the four words were Chen Mingren's inscription on the Hongyan Mountain in the northeast of Xuyong City. This letter made Chen Mingren deeply feel the firm determination and noble spirit of the first class.
* The commander-in-chief's four-word response deeply shocked Chen Mingren. He decided to formally break away from the Kuomintang, rebelled against Chiang Kai-shek's regime, and carried out an uprising. Cheng Qian, Chen Mingren and other more than 30 Kuomintang party and government dignitaries, under the urging of the commander-in-chief, announced the uprising to the whole country.
Chen Mingren's decision saved Changsha from the flames of war and achieved peaceful liberation. The Communist Party attached great importance to this and made proper arrangements for Chen Mingren.
At the beginning of September 1949, after the peaceful liberation of Changsha, Chen Mingren received a telegram from *** and set off for Beiping. In order to show respect for Chen Mingren, ** specially sent a special guard unit of the 12th Corps of the Fourth Field Army to escort him to Beijing.
However, Chen Mingren misunderstood this, believing that the Communists would unload and kill donkeys like Chiang Kai-shek, causing him to feel very uneasy and nervous during the journey. On September 10, Chen Mingren arrived in Beiping, was personally received by the mayor of Beijing, and stayed at the Liuguo Hotel.
When he saw that there was a guard guarding the door, he was even more panicked and kept pacing around the room. At this time, the guard knocked on his door and told him that someone was visiting.
* The Commander-in-Chief surprised Chen Mingren, who never expected that the Commander-in-Chief, whom he had always admired and followed, would appear on his doorstep. When the commander-in-chief straightened his back, stood up to him and saluted him standardly, Chen Mingren felt that the anxiety, nervousness and uneasiness in his heart disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a kind of excitement and respect.
He also gave the ** commander-in-chief a standard military salute back, and then held the ** commander-in-chief's hand tightly, and said in a choked voice: "Commander-in-chief, you have just arrived in Beijing, and it is my honor to travel tiringly." ”
Chen Mingren was deeply moved, he looked at the kind smile of the commander-in-chief, and a warmth rose in his heart. The commander-in-chief smiled and said, "That's right, we are family!" ”
Listening to the commander-in-chief's concern and greetings to him, Chen Mingren finally understood that his younger brother did not lie to him, and he began to understand that the Communist Party was able to achieve victory because they really cared about the people and comrades.
The next day, Chen Mingren was invited to visit the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven and other places of interest. During the tour, Chen Mingren was deeply moved by the sincere attitude of the Communist Party, and he recalled his performance in the Battle of Siping, and his heart was full of guilt.
* The commander-in-chief sensed Chen Mingren's psychology, patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "And *** has also noticed your feelings, and in the same way, he hopes that you will let go of the guilt in your heart." ”
This sentence completely relieved Chen Mingren's pressure, and the next night, the commander-in-chief invited him to a banquet at the Beiping Exchange. Chen Mingren was pleasantly surprised to find that they actually entertained him with the highest level of banquet.
I just want you to have a good time. ”
Chen Mingren was deeply shocked, and he firmly stated that at this moment, his reverence for the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army had reached its peak, and he promised from the bottom of his heart that he would fight to the end for the cause of the people together with these heroic troops.
Towards the end of the banquet, General Chen Mingren offered to merge his troops into the PLA and become a member of it.
He vowed to become a real People's Liberation Army and fight for the revolutionary cause all his life. ** The commander-in-chief was pleased with Chen Mingren's clear ambition, and he did not mistake the general, appointed him commander, and led his troops to the front line of the suppression of bandits.
Since then, the Commander-in-Chief has developed a deep friendship with General Tran Minh Ren, and they have corresponded frequently and become lifelong friends. **The Commander-in-Chief and Chen Mingren encouraged each other, and the friendship of common progress had a profound impact on us.
