Huang Kecheng was admitted to 301 Hospital again in early 1986 because of a pulmonary infection caused by pulmonary heart disease, but he did not actively cooperate**, but directly told the attending doctor not to waste national resources and leave the medicine to those who need it, because he will not live long.
Huang Kecheng, as an important meritorious cadre of the party and the state, his health has attracted much attention. However, Huang Kecheng is a stubborn person, and the persuasion of his family, old comrades-in-arms, and old subordinates is of no avail.
Even after hearing the news of his hospitalization, many people came to visit him and advised him to follow the doctor's instructions. Although Huang Kecheng ostensibly agreed, when he actually accepted the drug infusion, he even pulled out the tube himself.
At this critical moment, Defense Minister General Zhang Aiping had just returned from a business trip, and after hearing that Huang Kecheng was hospitalized again and refused, he immediately rushed to visit Huang Kecheng.
Huang Kecheng woke up Tang Dihua in a weak voice and told Tang Dihua that Comrade Zhang Aiping was here. Although he was already very weak, he still asked his family to help him sit up, held Zhang Aiping's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "It's because he's here, otherwise I might not see him." ”
Zhang Aiping's heart was full of grief, and tears immediately blurred her vision. He comforted Huang Kecheng to rest assured** and as soon as possible**. However, Huang Kecheng sighed and said to Zhang Aiping: "Aiping, this time it may not be able to survive." I've decided not to accept ** anymore. I can't work myself, and I can't be cured, so don't waste the country's resources anymore. This is also a little contribution I made to the country before leaving. ”
After Huang Kecheng finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face. However, Zhang Aiping, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at Huang Kecheng being tortured by illness, and when she heard him say such words, tears couldn't help but flow.
He said to Huang Kecheng: "Teacher, if you say something like this, I have to criticize you." You have made so many contributions to the country, and if you don't let the treatment at this time, watch you die?
What do you want the organization to do, isn't this a problem for the organization, you are confused. Huang Kecheng listened silently. Zhang Aiping began to enlighten him, and after talking for a long time, Huang Kecheng's thinking was comprehensible, but he still emphasized that he would definitely not use good medicine, and only used ordinary medicine to maintain **.
The paramedics breathed a sigh of relief. There were so many people who persuaded them in front, but they didn't persuade them, but Huang Lao was persuaded by Zhang Aiping, and they all felt that Zhang Aiping was not simple. In fact, they don't know the comradeship between Zhang Aiping and Huang Kecheng.
Huang Kecheng and Zhang Aiping met at the beginning of the Long March, when Huang Kecheng was the political commissar of the 4th Division of the Red Third Army Corps, and Zhang Aiping was the director of the Political Department of the 4th Division. Since then, they have formed a formal superior-subordinate relationship, and in the long battle, an unbreakable comradeship has been formed.
Although there was a period of leveling between Huang Kecheng and Zhang Aiping, most of the time Huang Kecheng was Zhang Aiping's superior. When attacking Zunyi for the second time, Zhang Aiping and Huang Kecheng were both political commissars of the regiment, but during the operation, because Zhang Aiping thought that Huang Kecheng's troops did not reinforce him in time, they specifically complained to ***.
Huang Kecheng was punished for this dispute, but he did not get angry, but explained to Zhang Aiping that if it was him, he would not send troops. Despite this, this battle allowed Huang Kecheng to see Zhang Aiping's military command talents, and he used him greatly in the days that followed.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Kecheng had a discerning eye and transferred Zhang Aiping to his side as the commander of the 3rd detachment. After the reconstruction of the New Fourth Army, the Fifth Column was reorganized into the Third Division of the New Fourth Army, with Huang Kecheng as the division commander and Zhang Aiping as the commander of the 9th Brigade of the Third Division, always following Huang Kecheng's side.
Soon, ** decided to change the subordination of the 9th Brigade of the 3rd Division and the 10th Brigade of the 4th Division, and Huang Kecheng took the initiative to propose to the Military Department of the New Fourth Army to let Zhang Aiping be promoted to the deputy commander of the Third Division, so as to continue to assist him in commanding the operation by his side.
Despite the frequent battles, the two often quarreled, and even slapped the table and scolded each other, Huang Kecheng took into account the overall situation and was good at employing people, while Zhang Aiping adhered to principles and paid attention to implementation, so although the quarrels continued, it did not affect them to fight the best battles, and eventually became a good partner in the army.
It wasn't until the Liberation War that the two finally parted ways due to the assignment of tasks.
The group photo of Huang Kecheng and Zhang Aiping shows the deep revolutionary friendship between them. This relationship of mutual respect and mutual respect has made their friendship last for a long time.
It was this friendship that allowed Zhang Aiping to persuade Huang Kecheng to accept **, which extended Huang Kecheng's life for nearly a year.
