General Chen Geng did not choose to rest after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Vietnam to help the Vietnamese people fight against the invaders. Vietnam's hot and humid conditions aggravated his leg injury, but he persevered in his mission and eventually returned home.
Chen Geng brought a special gift, which was a Vietnamese specialty that could not be bought in China. Who is this man he is looking for? He is Cheng Shicai. Chen Geng and Cheng Shicai were both soldiers of the Red Fourth Front Army, one from Xiangxiang, Hunan, and the other from Dawu, Hubei.
Chen Geng performed well in the army and soon became a division commander, while Cheng Shicai was his small company commander. Chen Geng admires Cheng Shicai's talent very much and thinks he is a good talent.
Cheng Shicai lived up to expectations, was promoted very quickly, and finally became the acting commander of the Red 30th Army, partnering with ***. Chen Geng's development was a bit tortuous, but he eventually found his own path.
A man suddenly burst into the room, dressed in tattered sheepskin and tied with a rope. He shouted: "Cheng Shicai! Cheng Shicai! Cheng Shicai! Cheng Shicai raised his head in surprise and saw a person wearing glasses who seemed to be familiar.
His mind quickly rolled, and then he suddenly saluted a standard military salute and shouted, "Senior Commander Chen!" The person who came was Chen Geng, who returned a military salute and shouted: "Commander Cheng!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, holding each other's hands tightly. Chen Geng explained: "Shicai, I am no longer the division commander now, I am the head of the cadre regiment, and my subordinates are all old and sick women, and it is not feasible to march and fight. ”
Cheng Shicai took out a good cigarette and handed it to Chen Geng. Chen Geng took it, put it on his nose and sniffed it, and nodded very intoxicated, as if to say: "It's really a good cigarette, I haven't smoked such a good cigarette for a long time." ”
He smiled and asked, "It was captured from the enemy, right?" Before Cheng Shicai could answer, Chen Geng continued: "The march is difficult, there is really no way, I want to borrow a dozen horses from you, the army commander, how about it?" ”
Although Chen Geng has a humorous and cheerful personality, when he says this, he looks a little pitiful and cute.
When help is needed, Cheng Shicai never skimps. When he learned that Chen Geng needed 30 mules and horses, a batch of supplies, medicine and clothes, he did not hesitate to send them over.
This act of generosity fully embodies the comradeship of the proletarian revolution between them. Cheng Shicai insisted on helping Chen Geng despite the opposition of the leaders of the front army, and this friendship was admirable.
Although they came from different fronts, this did not affect the deep friendship between them. In Yan'an, Cheng Shicai, together with Chen Geng and ** Chen Zaidao, is known as the "Yan'an Four Chen".
Chen Geng's help to Cheng Shicai has always been in his heart, and when he returned to China in Vietnam, he brought some special products to repay Cheng Shicai's kindness on the Long March, although this debt has been in arrears for more than ten years.
