Huang Kecheng has not repented of being wronged, and he still loves *** in his later years
Huang Kecheng is the third most ranked figure among the ten generals of the Republic, and there are only two bigwigs in front of him - Su Yu, known as the "God of War", and Xu Haidong, who has made great contributions to the revolution.
Even famous generals such as Chen Geng, Tan Zheng and Xiao Jinguang can only be ranked behind Huang Kecheng. How powerful Huang Kecheng is, it is worth our in-depth **.
Huang Kecheng, a native of Yongxing, Hunan, was admitted to the Provincial Third Normal School in Hengyang in 1922. In April of that year, ** propagated revolutionary ideas in Hengyang, and in his speech he talked about Marxism-Leninism, the Chinese revolution, and the peasant question, which aroused wide repercussions among Huang Kecheng's classmates.
From then on, the seeds of revolution took root in his heart. Together with his classmates, Huang Kecheng set up a mutual aid club to read progressive newspapers and periodicals together, understand revolutionary knowledge, and ** Chinese social problems, and gradually embarked on the road of revolution.
In early 1928, Huang Kecheng led an uprising in Hunan, organized a peasant uprising and captured the county seat of Yongxing. Subsequently, he followed **Marshal and **Marshal to Jinggangshan, serving as the commander of the 35th Regiment of the 12th Division of the 4th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and made significant contributions in the process of opening up the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area.
In 1930, Huang Kecheng was ordered to work in the Red 5th Army led by ***, and since then he has begun to accept the direct leadership of ***. His revolutionary path began.
In General Wang Ping's memories, General Huang Kecheng was full of respect for Mr. Peng. Once, the headquarters of the Third Army Corps notified the leaders of each division to observe the terrain, and Huang Kecheng arrived early, he stood in the middle of the road, and when he saw the leaders of each division riding a horse, he waved his hand and said: "Dismount, dismount!"
Captain Peng is on the mountain". General Huang Kecheng always spoke decisively when encountering major events in his life, never blindly followed, dared to put forward opinions, and had an indomitable spirit and a distinctive personality.
This is also the consistent style of the cadres of the Red Third Army Corps under the leadership of General Peng.
During the Agrarian Revolution, the combat environment was extremely harsh, and Huang Kecheng fell into dangerous situations many times because of his poor eyesight. Once, while commanding a battle, Huang Kecheng and his guards were scattered by the enemy, his glasses were also missing, and his surroundings were blurred, and he realized that this was a life-and-death challenge.
Luckily, he was riding a horse at the time, and he decided to whip the horse and let the horse run wildly. It may be that the old horse is familiar with the road, and Huang Kecheng miraculously returned to the station.
However, even so, Huang Kecheng personally rushed to the front line every time he fought, charging with a broadsword and experiencing countless dangers. His old superior*** angrily reprimanded: "Huang Kecheng, as a commander, you will never be allowed to go to the front line next time!"
Wearing such a big pair of glasses all day long, he looks like a big official! If people don't beat you, who will you beat? Even after being blamed, Mr. Wong stuck to his habits. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, Huang Kecheng ran non-stop and worked very hard.
Su Yu's situation was even worse, he went from the commander of the advance detachment, to the Jiangnan Command of the New Fourth Army, to the Northern Jiangsu Command, to the commander of the First Division of the New Fourth Army, and finally to the commander of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region.
Huang Kecheng is far-sighted, thoughtful, and shows excellent strategic vision. In September 1945, he foresaw that the Soviet Red Army would wipe out the Japanese Kwantung Army and enter northeastern China, while Chiang Kai-shek's main forces were still stationed in the southwestern rear.
He immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity to seize the northeast, and suggested to the Central China Bureau that a large number of troops should be sent to the northeast, and even advocated that there should be at least 50,000 men, preferably 100,000.
However, the Central China Bureau did not endorse his suggestion. However, Huang Kecheng did not give up, and he called the headquarters in his personal capacity to put forward his opinion again, which coincided with the strategy of the headquarters.
The headquarters finally adopted his suggestion and decided to send 100,000 troops to the northeast. Huang Kecheng's prediction ability was highly praised by Marshal **, and he praised Huang Kecheng for being a division commander, but he had a clairvoyant eye to see things.
After the end of the Liaoshen Campaign, ** decided to launch the Pingjin Campaign and handed over the task of conquering Tianjin to Huang Kecheng. Because he has enough ability and prestige, can carry out his work smoothly, has rich experience and has the quality of daring to tell the truth, he is the best person to lead Tianjin.
Wong's strategic vision, vision and practical actions have made him a trusted leader. His decisions and measures played a key role not only in the capture of the Northeast, but also in the victory of the Pingjin Campaign.
His intellect and courage earned him a high reputation in both the military and political spheres.
On January 15, 1949, Huang Kecheng led the team to officially take over Tianjin and began a new journey. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huang Kecheng went to work in Hunan, where he always adhered to the work style of seeking truth from facts, right is right, wrong is wrong, and does not avoid mistakes because of face.
He worked in Hunan for three years, not only completing a series of work such as suppressing bandits and land reform, but also cultivating a large number of talented people for Hunan, so that the lives of the people in Hunan gradually developed in a better direction.
Just as Huang Kecheng was about to continue to lead the people to struggle, he received an order from **. In July 1952, it was decided to transfer Huang Kecheng to the post of deputy chief of general staff of the Military Commission and director of the General Logistics Department.
In 1955, Huang Kecheng was awarded the rank of general, ranking third. Su Yu ranked first with his invincible military exploits, and Xu Haidong ranked second because of his great achievements in 5,000 oceans, so why did Huang Kecheng rank third with his ability to beat Chen Geng, Zhang Yunyi, ** and others?
Huang Kecheng's strong points lie in the army's organization and mobilization, military logistics, and base area construction, which are indispensable capabilities for the troops. During the Anti-Japanese War, the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army led by him grew to more than 70,000 people, becoming the largest force among the 7 divisions of the New Fourth Army.
In 1958, after the former chief of the General Staff Commander Su was dismissed, Mr. Peng recommended Huang Kecheng to the Military Commission, and he took over the post of Chief of the General Staff, but Huang Kecheng served as the chief of the General Staff for a very short time, and he was the shortest serving chief of our army, and he was dismissed the next year, because of his straightforward and non-official character.
General Huang Kecheng is such a person, he has had a bumpy life and has been rectified many times, but he has always been upright, dare to speak, dare to sing the opposite, and even in front of ***, he has not lost his true colors.
General Huang Kecheng's life is an epic of "nine ups and nine downs", but he never forgot his original intention and paid without regrets. He had personally experienced the Lushan Conference, expressed his views directly, was full of rigidity, and even insisted on his own views in the debate with ***.
In 1977, after 18 years of imprisonment, he returned to Beijing and served as an adviser to the ** Military Commission. At the age of 76, he began to serve as the executive secretary of the ** Commission for Discipline Inspection, dedicating his strength to the party, the country and the people.
Although his eyes are bad and it is inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, he resolutely refuses to overhaul his house, and only hopes that **through the wind and rain will be repaired**. In the last stage of his life, he still insisted on the truth, spoke up with righteousness, insisted on affirming the historical merits of the president, and resolutely opposed the false evaluation of the chairman.
His words are still impressive: "If anyone insists on saying that anyone else is more intelligent and has more credit than ***, it can only be a joke of history." ”
On December 28, 1986, the outstanding revolutionary General Huang Kecheng passed away peacefully in Beijing at the age of 84. When he was dying, Huang Kecheng's consciousness was sometimes sober, sometimes in a trance.
When he was sober, he often talked about battles and guns, as if he had returned to the battlefield full of flames. Even in a conversation, he suddenly said excitedly: "I have to hurry to Commander-in-Chief Zhu ** to report the situation!" ”
On January 7, 1987, Huang Kecheng's memorial service was held in solemn mourning music, and ** Peng Zhen and other leaders attended and sent wreaths to express their deep nostalgia for this old comrade-in-arms.
At his memorial service, people bowed deeply in grief to his portrait. According to the ** evaluation, Huang Kecheng "has a strong proletarian party spirit, does not blindly obey, does not disagree, adheres to the truth, is upright, no matter whether he is in a high position or in adversity, he is dedicated to the public, selfless and fearless."
Soon after, his ashes were sent to the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, where they were laid to rest forever.
