Deng Hua is a battle-hardened founding father, who participated in the Gutian Conference, the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and fought all the way from the northeast to Hainan Island in the War of Liberation.
Without waiting for a break, he rushed to Korea and participated in the first to fifth campaigns to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
Deng Hua is not only the right-hand man of ***, but also the confidant of ***.
Xu Shiyou, who is also the founding general, is also deeply loved by ***, and is a "Zhou Bo" general figure in the eyes of the leader, from the Jute Uprising to the Liberation War, Xu Shiyou has a figure.
Xu Shiyou is open-minded, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is very angry with Deng Hua.
Although the two had known each other during the Red Army, they only briefly partnered during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.
In 1962, Xu Shiyou saw Deng Hua eating in the restaurant from a distance, picked up the wine he took from ***, and walked over angrily.
Deng Hua's heart was also angry, and he turned around and said, "Go away!" ”
In February 1936, ** in northern Shaanxi, the deployment meeting of the Red Coats Army and the eastward crossing of the Yellow River was organized, and Deng Hua followed the young political commissar Xiao Hua to participate.
Everyone expresses their opinions, listens carefully, and makes comments from time to time.
When he touched his pocket, he found that the cigarette box was empty, and turned his head to Deng Hua on the side and said, "Do you still have that platinum dragon?" ”
The platinum dragon is a cigarette produced by Nanyang Brothers, Deng Hua had captured a lot from the Kuomintang army during the Long March, he kept some for himself, and handed over the rest.
** What is asked is Deng Hua's "inventory".
Yes, yes. Deng Hua said as he took out his cigarette and handed it to everyone present one by one.
Funny: "You see, he touched it out one by one, this is really 'wealth is not exposed'." ”
Everyone was amused and laughed, and Deng Hua continued: "The water flows for a long time." ”
After the cigarette was finished, the meeting continued, looking forward to the future, and blurted out: "Outside Qilian, come and travel from Jindi." This time to cross the Yellow River eastward, it depends on your 1st Army and 15th Army Corps. ”
Deng Hua had read a private school, and he knew that this sentence was adapted from the first two sentences of Li Bai's "Farewell to Jingmen": "Crossing far outside Jingmen, come and travel from Chu." ”
Hearing the familiar verses, Deng Hua was stunned for a while.
**Seeing that Deng Hua was a little absent-minded, he said meaningfully: "The difficulty of crossing the Yellow River to the east is really not small!" ”
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Deng Hua.
Deng Hua's reaction was very quick, and he immediately said: "With the correct leadership of the superiors and the high morale of the commanders and fighters, we will not worry about the river defense and the invaders!" ”
Deng Hua explained: "Just now, I remembered the poem "Farewell to Jingmen". ”
** Suggested: "You might as well carry it to give everyone a strong morale." ”
Deng Hua immediately got up and recited word by word: "Crossing far outside Jingmen, come and travel from Chu State." The mountains follow the plains, and the rivers flow into the great wilderness. Under the moon, the flying mirror, the clouds are born and the sea is built. still pity the hometown water, thousands of miles to see off the boat. ”
**Can't help but clap his hands: "Okay! Word for word! In our Red Army, there are still talents! ”
In 1937, after crossing the Yellow River to the east, Deng Hua led his troops to participate in the Battle of Pingxingguan, and after that, he fought with the Japanese army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei area for a long time, and also participated in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.
During this period, although Deng Hua was led by ***, he never went to Yan'an.
In November 1944, when the Japanese invaders had become strong, Deng Hua had time to go to Yan'an ** Party School to study.
After reporting the enrollment, Deng Hua was assigned to three teams.
Chen Geng, the person in charge of the three detachments, suddenly came over and told Deng Hua a great good thing: "* I'm going to meet you in Zaoyuan tomorrow." ”
Recalling that it has been a year since the last time he met ***, Deng Hua was very excited and couldn't sleep all night.
The next morning, he got up early and went to the jujube orchard to wait.
**Enthusiastically reach out for a pairhands"Comrade Deng Hua, welcome! It's been a long time since we've seen each other! ”
Listening to the familiar voice and holding the leader's wide and warm hands, Deng Hua couldn't help but redden.
For a while, Deng Hua remembered the early years of the revolution again, and said with emotion: "Now that the cause has developed, the stalls are so big, not like in Jinggangshan, nor like in the Jiangxi Soviet District, there is only a little place." It's not that easy to see each other. ”
nodded again and again, took Deng Hua's hand and walked into the house.
The two lit cigarettes and chatted about family life.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, ** specially told the guards: "We are all Hunanese, just put more spicy seeds!" ”
After the parents finished speaking, the conversation got to the point.
The two talked about the initiative of the army to engage in agricultural reclamation, ** said: "I know, everyone is asking for war!" The war is fought by you, but now to open up wasteland production, the situation is also pressing, we can't let the burden of the people be too heavy, we have to do it ourselves, have enough food and clothing! ”
Deng Hua realized that the person who cares about the masses and has a long-term vision has never changed.
Before parting, ** cheered Deng Hua again: "Realizing the great unity of the whole party is our important task at present. ”
As *** said, "You have fought the war", drove out the Japanese devils, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted to counter-revolutionize.
After the liberation station began, Deng Hua went to the northeast, first suppressed bandits in western Liaoning, and then participated in the Siping Campaign and the Liaoshen Campaign.
He followed the footsteps of Siye, waved his army south, and after the Pingjin Campaign, crossed the Yangtze River and participated in the Hunan and Jiangxi and Guangdong Campaigns.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he commanded the Hainan Island Campaign.
In 1950, Hainan had just been liberated, and Deng Hua didn't have time to catch his breath, so he received an order from ***: to serve as the commander of the Northeast Frontier Army and the 13th Corps.
Deng Hua said without hesitation: resolutely obey the order.
What Deng Hua didn't know was that this time it was *** who had high hopes for him, so he personally ordered the general.
After Deng Hua marched to receive the order, ** and *** met him one after another, and then, ** invited him to Zhongnanhai as a guest.
** First praised Deng Hua's heroic performance in the Battle of Hainan, and then went straight to the point: "It seems that the United States will not watch the Korean Peninsula be liberated by the People's Army." Your previous analysis, very insightful. ”
He said earnestly: "Your mission this time is to defend the northeastern frontier, but you must be prepared to fight a war with the Americans, to fight an unprecedented battle, and to prepare him to shoot atomic bombs, I will fight grenades, follow him, and finally defeat him." ”
It turned out to be very visionary.
When the Korean People's Army captured Seoul and was preparing to move the capital, American five-star General MacArthur led the powerful "United **" to land at Inchon with high spirits.
The Northeast Frontier Army immediately entered the DPRK to fight, and the vigorous War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began.
Deng Hua also became the first deputy commander and first political commissar of the Volunteer Army from the commander of the 13th Corps of the Northeast Frontier Army, and personally participated in the first to fifth battles.
As for Xu Shiyou, he entered the DPRK in 1953 as the commander of the 3rd Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers and participated in the summer counterattack operation.
The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the adversity sees the truth
Deng Hua and Xu Shiyou, although they are both old Red Army veterans, have known each other for a long time, but their friendship is not deep.
It wasn't until the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that Xu Shiyou became Deng Hua's subordinate, and the two had more contact.
After returning to China in 1954, Deng Hua stayed in the northeast, and Xu Shiyou went south to Jiangsu.
Because they are too far apart, it is difficult for the two to see each other except for a meeting.
Deng and Xu have similar personalities, they are both straightforward men, they never bend, and they also have one thing in common: unconditional obedience to ***'s orders.
In December 1958, ** proposed that cadres at all levels of the whole army should serve as soldiers for one month: "I think all the 'chiefs', army commanders, division commanders, etc., should serve as soldiers for at least one month. ”
Accordingly, the General Political Department of the Central Military Commission issued the relevant "Regulations," requiring everyone from generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals to colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors to serve as soldiers.
Yang Dezhi, commander of the Jinan Military Region, was the first to respond to the call to serve as a soldier in the company, and immediately after that, a number of founding fathers, including General Deng Hua, commander of the Shenyang Military Region, and General Xu Shiyou, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, went to the grassroots companies to serve as ordinary soldiers.
In 1960, due to work needs, Deng Hua could only take off the military uniform that he had worn for most of his life and go to Sichuan to serve as vice governor.
In his position and seeking his own government, he was a soldier in the past, and now he is a "parent official", Deng Hua quickly changed his thinking and traveled to more than 170 counties and cities, hundreds of factories and mines, and more than 1,000 rural social teams to conduct research.
At the same time, Deng Hua also saw the warmth and coldness of people.
In August 1962, Deng Hua went to Beijing to attend the ** work conference and the 10th Plenary Session of the 8th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Once, when he went to a restaurant to eat, it happened that the waiter brought his food to another person's table.
Deng Hua is very familiar with this person, Deng Hua and him have been old comrades-in-arms for decades.
The two worked in the same regiment during the Red Army, worked together in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Base Area during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and worked together in the Northeast and Siye during the War of Liberation.
Deng Hua didn't think much about it, and walked over directly, wanting to say hello and eat together.
As soon as the old comrades-in-arms saw that it was Deng Hua, they turned around and left without looking back.
Deng Hua sat in place and sulked alone, Xu Shiyou saw this, so he carried a bottle of wine and sat in front of Deng Hua angrily.
"Here, the wine I just got from ***, taste it! Xu Shiyou said as he twisted the cap of the bottle.
Deng Hua turned his face away and said to Xu Shiyou, "You go away." ”
Of course, Xu Shiyou understands that he is not a "hot face and cold ass", he found a cup and drank it all, this glass of wine, he was fighting for Deng Hua.
Because of this, General Xu was able to fulfill his last wish not to be cremated, and future generations will always remember General Xu; It is precisely because of this that there will be an endless stream of memorials in front of General Xu's mausoleum.
