Chen Geng: He is one of the most humorous founding generals in my country. On the battlefield, he boldly refused to carry out Mr. Lin's combat orders twice, but he was never punished by the great man. When the great man gave a speech to many cadets at the Yan'an Military Academy, he boldly ran to the podium to drink the water in the great man's water cup. He even openly spoke out to great men in front of various commanders.
But such a bold founding general made great achievements for the liberation of our country. In 1947, Chen Geng once advised the great man in the name of toasting at the dinner table. **Seeing this move, I tried to stop it with my eyesChen Gengacts. But the great man said, let him finish speaking. Why did Chen Geng want to drink wine to admonish the great man?What is the story behind this?
01 Chen Geng boldly admonished the great man.
In 1947, Liu Deng's army advanced into Dabie Mountain and attacked the Central Plains, while Su Yu, the two war ancestors, was stationed in southwest Lu to contain the 15th Division and the 41st Brigade of Lao Chiang's army. At this time, after all the main forces of our army withdrew from Yan'an, Hu Zongnan and others of the old Chiang army successfully occupied both sides of the Yellow River.
In order to protect China's Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo war base area, the higher-level leaders decided to transfer Chen Geng from the battlefield in southern Jin to cross the Yellow River to the west and guard our army's Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo base area together with Mr. Peng. Soon, Chen Geng, who received this combat order, led his subordinates to Xiaohe Village in the northern Shaanxi base area to meet with the great man to discuss the matter.
At the same time, he participated in the extraordinary meeting held in the base area of northern Shaanxi. It was finally decided by the meeting. Chen Geng was sent to cross the Yellow River to the west. After the meeting, Chen Geng, who had something on his mind, took the initiative to find the great man and asked the great man to take the lead and practice for him. After hearing this, the great man laughed and said, "Don't worry, the canteen has already prepared wine and food and is waiting for you to go."
Who knew that Chen Geng said unusually: "There must be a lot of people who come to the banquet, it's inconvenient for me to chat with you, since we are all fellow villagers, then I will go to your house to eat a bar today!."Hearing Chen Geng's words, the great man readily agreed. In the evening of the same day, the great man prepared a banquet at home and waited for Chen Geng's arrival. Soon Chen Geng went to the appointment on time and came to the great man's home.
At the dinner table, the great man clinked glasses and drank with Chen Geng and **. After drinking a few rounds in a row, Chen Geng picked up the wine glass and replied to the great man with the intention of drinking: "Great man, I think you sent Liu Deng's army to advance into Dabie Mountain,The decision to send ** to garrison southwest Lu was very correct, but there was only one decision that was not wise enough, that is, to ask me to defend the Yellow River. ”
Chen Geng's words made the great man stunned instantly. At this time, seeing that the situation was wrong, *** hurriedly stopped Chen Geng with his eyes. Who knew that Chen Geng continued: "Great man, I think you should adjust your battle plan, send me to cross the Yellow River to the south, and then from east to west, take advantage of the enemy's inattention to strike at the enemy, and smoothly protect our army's Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo base areas. And you asked me to cross the Yellow River west, which is a dangerous move. ”
After hearing this, the great man became angry and reprimanded sternly: "You bold Chen Geng, this battle plan is not for you to maintain my safety, but for you to protect the Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo regions. You always suggested that I should transfer commanders near the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region. But you, the closest person to me, I can't command, and who else can I command? ”
Bi Wei was indignant, and slapped the table a few times angrily to express his anger. Hear the loud shouts of the great man,Chen Geng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Great man, this is just my one-sided idea. I will resolutely carry out the orders against you and ***".
After hearing this, the great man laughed and said: "You, you are bold and careful on the battlefield, but you are startled by my jokes in life." At this time, *** said to Chen Geng: "The great man is joking with you, and I and the great man have already thought of what you thought of, so we temporarily adjusted the battle plan in time." Chen Geng was overjoyed after hearing this. The three of them continued to chat over drinks.
02 Second Battlefield Resistance Order.
Chen Geng has always been a bold and careful battlefield wizard, and in the early years during the war, he was appreciated by great men. He has rebelled against Mr. Lin's military orders twice. On the battlefield, the military orders were like mountains, and I thought that I would be punished by the great man. But the great man smiled. The first time he disobeyed Mr. Lin's military orders was during the Nanchang Uprising.
Mr. Lin and Chen Geng fought fiercely with Qian Dajun's troops of Lao Jiang's army. Under the enemy's fierce artillery fire, Mr. Lin's company commander was unfortunately shot and killed. At this time, Mr. Lin suddenly said to Chen Geng: "In order to preserve the remaining military strength, let's retreat." Who knew that Chen Geng refused to retreatThen he led Mr. Lin to lead the rest of the troops to continue to attack the enemy fiercely.
In the end, after Chen Geng's tenacious battle, our army won the battle, but Chen Geng was seriously wounded in the enemy's fierce artillery fire. In 1949, Chen Geng was ordered by his superiors to go to the Hunan and Jiangxi border areas with Mr. LinThe task of the operation against Bai Chongxi's troops was to smoothly cover the transfer of the Chinese people to the western Xiangjiang region.
Before the start of the battle, Mr. Lin held a temporary combat meeting and formulated a battle plan. However, Chen Geng and several other commanders disagreed with Mr. Lin's battle plan. They thought that Mr. Lin's battle plan had disadvantages but no benefits. Therefore, Chen Geng took the initiative to apply to his superiors to reformulate the battle plan.
In the end, with the consent of the great man, Chen Geng reformulated the battle plan and attacked Bai Chongxi's troops in a roundabout way. In the end, under the command of **, our army successfully covered the transfer of the people to the west of Xiangjiang. After this incident, I thought that I would be punished by the great man, but who knew that the great man laughed it off.
03 Ran up to the podium to drink water.
The reason why Chen Geng was appreciated by the great man was not only because of his outstanding military talent, but also because of his humor. In 1943, the great man gave a speech at the Yan'an Military Academy. At this time, Chen Geng, as a student, also participated in the speech activity. Just as the great man was giving a passionate speech on stage. Chen Geng suddenly stood up and walked towards the podium.
In response to Chen Geng's move, not only the students sitting below were very puzzled, but even the guards of the great man looked at Chen Geng in puzzlement. Even the great man stopped his speech and asked, "Comrade Chen Geng, is there anything wrong with you?" ”Who knew that Chen Geng picked up the cup of the great man, drank the water, saluted the great man and said report, I am too thirsty, borrow a sip of water from the great man to drink.
After Chen Geng's words, the students present burst into laughter. And the great man was amused by the successful move. Later, this incident was transmitted by many commanders in various units, and many troops knew about the incident of Chen Geng drinking water.
04 Summary. Chen Geng is not only deeply loved by great people, but even Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng and others are very fond of Chen GengBecause Chen Geng was not only bold and careful on the battlefield, but also commanded our army to reverse the situation of the war many times. He was also humorous and funny in life, which brought a lot of fun to the boring battlefield life at that time. It can be said that General Chen Geng is a rare war ancestor in our country.
