Chen Mingren brought a gun to a meeting, who received the gun? What happened?
In 1955, when the military rank system was first introduced in New China, more than 1,000 generals were honored, of which the number of generals reached 55 (Wang Jian'an was supplemented in 1956 and Li Jukui in 1958).
Among these 55 people, the three generals, Chen Mingren, Tao Zhiyue and Dong Qiwu, had some peculiarities, they did not support the revolution from the beginning, but chose to revolt in the later stages of the Liberation War.
Although they were in different camps, their actions and contributions contributed greatly to the great cause of liberation, reducing unnecessary sacrifices. Therefore, New China has given them a high degree of honor, which fully reflects the benevolence and justice of our party.
Chen Mingren is a general who fought a bloody battle with our Northeast Democratic Alliance Army in the War of Liberation, although there was a "grudge" in the past, but after the uprising, ** still fully trusted him and let him continue to lead the troops.
At the end of 1950, he led the troops into Guangxi to suppress bandits, and he cooperated with Li Tianyou, a famous general in the four fields. In the past, they were opponents in the Siping battle, but now they have become comrades, and their cooperation has no mustard, and they have successfully completed the task of **.
In 1952, the 21st Corps was reduced to the 55th Army, and Chen Mingren served as the commander.
His performance was recognized by **, and in 1959, he participated in the second session of the National People's Congress as a member of the PLA delegation, and there was a small episode.
General Chen Mingren has been in the ranks of the people for ten years since the 1949 uprising, and although his thinking has changed a lot in these ten years, after all, he has been in the Kuomintang camp for twenty years, and it is inevitable that he will have some of his old habits.
When he attended the NPC session this time, he retained a habit of carrying a gun. However, this is not a trivial matter, in 1951, Huang Zuyan, deputy director of the Political Department of the Shandong Military Region, was assassinated by Wang Jumin at a cultural work forum, causing a great sensation.
Since then, guns have been largely forbidden in meetings of government agencies. This is the case at the local level, and the security of the highest-level NPC meetings is even stricter. Therefore, Chen's move is obviously not in accordance with the regulations.
For the rebel general Chen Mingren, although he needs to hand over the matching gun, due to his special status, the organization needs to take care of some things. This made it difficult for the guards to exchange guns, both to prevent Chen Mingren's displeasure and to ensure the normal progress of the meeting.
In the end, Peng Zhen, secretary general of the meeting, found the head of the PLA delegation, hoping to solve the problem. Despite having a higher military rank and status, he also believes that coming forward directly may make Chen Mingren feel oppressed and damage his face.
In order to solve this problem, **after careful consideration, it was decided to let the young staff members who are studying at the General High Infantry School of the PLA deal with it. He was only 30 years old at a young age, and his military rank was only major, but he made many meritorious contributions during the war years, and he was a combat hero who was well-known throughout the army and a people's hero in East China.
He was very capable, had a flexible brain, and was good at dealing with complex problems, so he was selected as an outstanding representative of the middle and lower level commanders and fighters to participate in the meeting.
It seemed superfluous to worry that having the major surrender the general's gun would lead to a loss of fear. This concern proved unwarranted. ** clearly knew the importance of this matter, so he quickly found Chen Mingren.
He first saluted generously, and then asked in a respectful tone: "*Chief, I would like to report something to you. The secretariat of this meeting has a requirement that all the delegates carry ** need to be handed over to the conference for unified safekeeping, and will be returned after the meeting.
Don't know if you've already brought it? This sentence is very appropriate, and it does not directly say that it is here to collect guns, but only as a reminder to fully respect Chen Mingren's face, and emphasize that all deputies cannot carry guns, not against a certain person.
After hearing this, Chen Mingren immediately understood that he did have a gun on him, but he basically never used this gun, and only kept it as a souvenir.
General Chen Mingren's German-made gold-plated commemorative pistol is not only a gun, but also a symbol of his anti-Japanese career. In the Battle of Huilongshan in January 1945, Chen Mingren led his troops to successfully ensure the final victory of the War of Resistance in Western Yunnan.
Chen Mingren was also hailed as an "outstanding Chinese celebrity" and was recognized and supported by the United States and Britain. In recognition of Chen Mingren's heroic performance, Chiang Kai-shek specially commended him for this German-made gold-plated commemorative pistol.
For Chen Mingren, this gun is a testimony to his anti-Japanese career, which has accompanied him for many years. The appearance of this gun was purely unintentional, but it became a good story in history.
When Chen Mingren remembered the gun he had not handed over, he immediately took it out and entrusted *** to keep it on his behalf. ** Paid his respects and took the gun and handed it to the conference team.
After the meeting, he returned the gun to Chen Mingren. This incident made Mr. He and others look at this young cadre with admiration, thinking that he has the potential to be made.
The ability to do so proved to be truly outstanding, and he was awarded the rank of general in 1988 and also served as Minister of Defense, successfully keeping up with these old-timers.
Yes, gold always shines!
