Mr. Peng angrily reprimanded the general, Ye Shuai said a word, and Mr. Peng was silent
In 1955, when the military rank was about to be conferred on meritorious officers, regulations were being drawn up within the army for the conferment ceremony. In the office building of the People's Liberation Army Training Directorate Department, Vice Minister Peng Shaohui and Defense Minister *** had a dispute over the formulation of management regulations, and the two sides were in heated emotions.
** is a hot-tempered person who will keep cursing once he gets angry, while Peng Shaohui insists on his own point of view.
Ye Shuai intervened in time and persuaded Mr. Peng to calm down from his anger. The content of his persuasion may be: "Boss, we must unite in order to better complete the task." ”
Peng Shaohui dared to quarrel with Mr. Peng because he was also an excellent soldier and had his own opinions and opinions. His experience taught him that the best solution to a problem can only be found through arguments and communication.
Therefore, although he dared to challenge Mr. Peng, he also understood that Mr. Peng's experience and prestige were worthy of respect.
Sixteen-year-old Peng Shaohui had to become a long-term laborer of the landlords in order to make a living, and the hard life of the people at the bottom made him deeply feel the exploitation of them by the landlord class, and he longed to change this state of life.
In 1926, ** returned to Shaoshan, Hunan Province to develop agricultural ** activities, Peng Shaohui was fortunate to get acquainted with *** and introduced his hometown to him. That was the first time Peng Shaohui saw a great man, and he was deeply attracted by his talent and closeness.
** Not only are they talented, but they are also able to express advanced revolutionary theories in easy-to-understand language. From there, Peng Shaohui learned for the first time the meaning of the "revolution" and the importance of the peasant movement.
**can be called Peng Shaohui's revolutionary guide, and he was able to continue to move forward on this road, but it was entirely due to ***In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei and others created **, launched a "counter-revolutionary coup", and carried out a large-scale ** against the Communists.
In response to the "counter-revolutionary coup", Kuomintang officer Xu Kexiang launched the "Ma-Ri Incident", attacking the Hunan Provincial Party Department, the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, and many peasant associations, resulting in a large number of revolutionary masses and arousing public indignation.
100,000 peasant troops angrily besieged Changsha, including Peng Shaohui. Unfortunately, due to the enemy's well-armed armament, the struggle ended in defeat and the Shaoshan Agricultural Association was forced to disband.
Peng Shaohui left his hometown and was bent on looking for comrades to seek the revolutionary cause, but the situation was turbulent and he failed to do so. He traveled to Wuhan and joined a company of the 35th Army of the National Revolutionary Army to make a living.
There, he unexpectedly met another person who had a profound influence on him—* In 1928, Peng Shaohui's unit was reorganized into the 5th Independent Division of the Hunan Army, and ** became their leader.
** Extremely indignant at the actions of the Kuomintang reactionaries, he decided to join the Chinese Communist Party and fight against the reactionaries. He also set up a Communist Party branch in the army and actively propagated Marxism.
Under the guidance of ***, I came into contact with and learned about Marxism. He actively propagated and advocated Marxism, and hoped that more people would understand and accept it.
In his dealings with the people, Peng Shaohui was attracted by his ideas and actively participated in the study of Marxism. **Seeing Peng Shaohui's positive attitude, he recommended him to go to the school presided over by Huang Gongluo for further study.
Pang Siu-fai cherished this learning opportunity very much, and his positive performance was deeply appreciated by Huang Gonglue. In the Pingjiang Uprising on July 22 of the same year, Peng Shaohui fought valiantly, killing and wounding many enemy soldiers with his own strength, showing his bravery and talent.
Huang Gongluo noticed Peng Shaohui and promoted him to squad leader of the 7th Regiment and also made him join the Chinese Communist Party. On that day, Peng Shaohui wrote firmly in his diary: "I will spend my whole life following the pace of the party!."”
In Perakshan, Pang Shaohui lost his arm, but his spirit was stronger. At the beginning of 1929, he followed Huang Gongluo to carry out guerrilla warfare on the border of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, and at the same time mobilized the peasant self-defense army to establish Soviet power.
Soon, the Kuomintang gathered forces to encircle and suppress them, and the enemy was outnumbered, and Huang Gongluo ordered a breakthrough. Peng Shaohui took the initiative to ask Ying to take on the task of covering the retreat of the main force, and he led the 6th Squadron to stubbornly block the enemy.
His heroic actions won Huang Gonglue's respect and appreciation, and also made him a staunch follower of the party.
In the raging battle, Peng Shaohui was unfortunately shot in the thigh, but he endured severe pain, covered the wound with gauze, and continued to command the battle with great determination, until time was pressing, and did not give the order to retreat.
When he joined the main force again, Huang Gongluo saw his wound and couldn't help but gasp, sternly warning that if he didn't ** again, his leg might be crippled. So, he ordered Peng Shaohui to temporarily withdraw from the battle and send it to the people's homes**.
This incident deeply moved everyone by Peng Shaohui's fearless fighting spirit, and he became a "tough guy" in the eyes of everyone.
When Peng Shaohui returned from demobilization, he had already heard of his heroic deeds, praised him, regarded him as a capable general, and promoted him to the captain of the 2nd Brigade Teaching Team and the captain of the Red 5th Army Camp School.
Soon after, Peng Shaohui followed *** to Jinggangshan. Chiang Kai-shek has always regarded Jinggangshan and other Soviet areas of the Red Army as a serious danger to his henchmen, and since 1930 he has frequently launched "encirclement and suppression".
Peng Shaohui participated in all the "anti-encirclement and suppression" operations, and his combat ability was fully displayed, and he successively served as regiment commander, chief of staff, division chief of staff, and division commander.
In addition, he was also shot and wounded in battle many times, but he always insisted on commanding the battle with his wounds and never left his post easily.
In March 1933, the Kuomintang gathered six divisions to launch the fourth siege of Perakshan. In the face of superior enemy forces, ** decided to send Peng Shaohui, commander of the 1st Red Division, to block the attack.
After Peng Shaohui received the order, he quickly led the Red 1st Division to the main peak of Perak Mountain, and successfully repelled the enemy in the battle. However, in the fierce battle, Peng Shaohui was unfortunately shot and his left arm was broken twice, but even so, he still insisted on commanding on the front line until the enemy was forced to retreat before leaving the line of fire and transferred to the field hospital**.
After examination, doctors found that Peng Shaohui's injuries were too severe and his leg had to be amputated to save his life. However, Peng Shaohui resolutely refused, saying that even if he had only one arm left, he would return to the front line to continue fighting.
Peng Shaohui is a resolute person, **After hearing about it, he immediately rushed to the hospital to persuade him to obey the doctor's arrangement, but Peng Shaohui is a resolute person, and he is also one of the few people in the army who dares to talk to Mr. Peng, and he is unwilling to amputate his leg at all.
**'s fiery temper came up all of a sudden, pointed at him and scolded: "Others say that you Peng Shaohui is a fierce general, I think you are a coward!" Isn't it just an arm?
If you can't bear it, just wait for the deterioration to kill you! After speaking, he walked out of the hospital angrily, but at the gate of the hospital, Mr. Peng's guards clearly saw that his eyes were red.
Iron-blooded soldiers also have a tender side, Peng Shaohui is Mr. Peng's right-hand man, seeing his subordinates pay a heavy price for the revolutionary cause, can he feel better?
**In the past, when discussing the battle, Peng Shaohui's stubborn temper was criticized many times, but this time the controversy made Mr. Peng feel very sad. However, this controversy also made Peng Shaohui realize the importance of life, and he realized that only by saving life can the revolution continue, so he followed the doctor's advice and had the doctor use a hacksaw to see off his left arm.
This operation made Peng Shaohui a "fierce general with a broken arm" and a "one-armed general". Although *** usually criticizes Peng Shaohui harshly, when he learned that Peng Shaohui followed the doctor's advice, he was happier than anyone else.
He often took time to visit Peng Shaohui in the hospital, and his comrades-in-arms also cheered for Peng Shaohui in private, encouraging him to continue to participate in the revolution after he recovered from his injury. This kind of care from the chief and his comrades-in-arms gave Peng Shaohui a lot of courage and enabled him to heal his wounds with peace of mind.
During his recuperation, Peng Shaohui used this time to calm down and study Marxist-Leninist works to enrich himself.
Peng Shaohui had been trained on the battlefield, and now reading these works, he has a deeper understanding of the meaning of revolution and a fuller mind. He felt very fortunate that without the harsh criticism of the chief, he might have died from the deterioration of his wounds and would not have been able to witness the success of the revolution with his own eyes.
Fortunately, he came to his senses, and when he thought of this, his respect for the old chief deepened. In addition to studying, Peng Shaohui also began to prepare for his return to the army, and with his strong perseverance, he learned to play leggings with one arm, practiced riding horses and shooting with one hand every day, and gradually adapted to living with one hand.
He also jokingly said to his comrades-in-arms who came to visit him: "Look, Lao Tzu can fight the world with one hand!" ”
Peng Shaohui showed tenacious spirit and unyielding perseverance in the face of adversity, and his performance brought to life the fearless revolutionary spirit of the Red Army soldiers. Therefore, ** highly praised him and awarded him the Order of the Red Star of the 2nd class.
During his recuperation, Peng Shaohui insisted on returning to work in the army and refused any special treatment. On the contrary, this serious injury made him more determined in his beliefs. When the fifth anti-encirclement campaign failed and the Red Army began its Long March, the one-armed general did not hesitate to follow the pace of the party and face difficulties together with everyone.
When the all-out Anti-Japanese War broke out, Peng Shaohui was re-entrusted with the important task by the party and devoted himself to the construction of the anti-Japanese base in the northwest of Shanxi. He led the army to successfully block the Japanese army many times, and served as a regiment commander, brigade commander, and division commander.
In the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, he served as the commander of the second brigade of the 120th Division, leading the troops to fight fiercely with the Japanese army more than 100 times, destroying many strongholds of the Japanese army, and successfully annihilating more than 3,500 Japanese puppet troops.
Because of his outstanding performance in the war, in the early days of the Liberation War, Peng Shaohui was appointed by the party organization as the commander of the Luliang Military Region and the deputy commander of the 2nd Column of the Jinsui Field Army.
The respect that Peng Shaohui and his children have for the old chief has not changed because of the change in Peng Shaohui's position. In the War of Liberation, every time he saw the old chief, Peng Shaohui would be enthusiastic and excited.
**When I see him, I always like to introduce to people: "This is my old subordinate who has followed me since the Pingjiang Uprising, see how good my subordinates are!" The words were full of pride.
At this time, the two were no longer in the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but more like old friends who had known each other for many years, but their friendship was not only because of their recognition of each other's revolutionary ideals, but also because of the deep friendship cultivated by years of "scolding".
The friendship with the generals who came out of the scolding was known. ** is a straightforward and fiery temper, in combat meetings and when summarizing the results, there is no less quarrel with others. Soldiers, to put it bluntly, this kind of heated discussion often shows a person's personality and temperament better.
Peng Shaohui, a soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, has rich experience, and does things vigorously and resolutely, naturally exudes a kind of majesty in his body, which is the kind of "not angry and self-authoritative", especially when discussing problems.
However, few people dared to challenge him. Peng Shaohui is an upright and stubborn temper, he sticks to his principles, even if he respects the old chief, but he will not compromise his work because of personal feelings.
Therefore, "quarrels" between him and Mr. Peng occur from time to time.
Mr. Peng and Mr. Peng Shaohui liberated Taiyuan together during the War of Liberation, and the two often quarreled when discussing the battle, but most of the time Mr. Peng had the advantage.
Peng Shaohui has a stubborn personality and always insists on his own opinions, and everyone has become accustomed to this. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the two held important positions and still maintained the habit of such quarrels.
However, they are always quick to forget after an argument and reconcile. This direct way of communication allows them to better understand each other at work and also enhances their friendship.
On the eve of the conferral of military rank in 1955, Peng Shaohui and Mr. Peng had a disagreement over the relevant management regulations and quarreled. Peng Shaohui is the deputy director of the PLA Training Directorate, while Mr. Peng is the Minister of National Defense.
Neither of the two refused to give in, and the sound of the quarrel even spread from Mr. Peng's office to the outside. **I was handling official business in the office next door, and after hearing the quarrel, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After understanding the reason, Ye Shuai walked to ***'s side and said in a low voice: "How many years have you been scolded from Perak Mountain to now?" Let him go once today, and stop scolding him. ”
Although the two had different views, they ultimately chose to understand and respect each other.
Mr. Peng's face instantly became solemn, and when he saw Peng Shaohui's empty left arm sleeve, a deep pain surged in his heart. His thoughts were full of thoughts, and the bravery and momentum of the past suddenly disappeared without a trace.
For Peng Shaohui's loss of his left arm, Mr. Peng was full of guilt and sadness in his heart, because it was the Battle of Perak Mountain that he personally sent Peng Shaohui to participate in, and this scene has always lingered in his heart.
Thinking of this, Mr. Peng was silent, lowered his head, and his heart was full of complicated thoughts.
Peng Shaohui and *** disagreed, Peng Shaohui suggested doing what he said, **agreed. The two resolved their differences, and Ye Shuai joked that they were "Da Peng" and "Xiao Peng", which made everyone present laugh.
Finally, at the award ceremony, Peng Shaohui was awarded the rank of general, and ** became one of the top ten marshals.
People often mistakenly think that Peng Shaohui and Mr. Peng often quarrel because of "discord between the generals", but in fact, the relationship between the two of them is very harmonious. Soldiers are straightforward and happy, and they are the real men.
This is how the friendship between General Peng Shaohui and Marshal *** came about, and the friendship that they "scolded" all the way is the best portrayal of "iron-blooded tenderness", and it is also the true color of our People's Liberation Army.
