Preside over the memorial service, otherwise you will not enter Babaoshan
In 1976, 84-year-old *** was seriously ill and ** went to visit him. Although *** is calm and self-controlled, he excitedly said at this time that he has only one request after his death, that is, *** will preside over his memorial service, otherwise he will not be buried in Babaoshan.
At that time, Deng was on the cusp, and the people around him avoided it, but *** didn't care about it, as the founding marshal, his words still had weight.
Why does Liu Shuai defend *** so much, this is because his relationship with *** is not only deep, but also a well-known "** partner" in the country. The two worked together for 13 years and won numerous battles; I have known each other for nearly half a century, and there are very few quarrels, often tacit understanding.
Outsiders commented on them: "Liu Deng is Liu Deng, between these two words, you can't even add a pause." "The story of them goes back to the physiognomy of the two men. Liu is the "big dragon" and Deng is the "little dragon".
**Born in 1892, it was the Year of the Dragon in the lunar calendar, so people often affectionately called him "General Dragon". Since childhood, ** has shown extraordinary military talents, and is familiar with the ancient Chinese art of war.
At a young age, ** showed great military talent. In a crucial battle, he used a simple but effective strategy to attack the heart, and easily won the victory.
He first arranged for more than 100 elite soldiers to infiltrate the city, disguised as ordinary people, and distributed leaflets in the streets and alleys to defeat the Beiyang Army, so that the enemy could disintegrate internally.
Then, he led the main force to attack the city, and when the enemy was busy coping, the soldiers in disguise before tore off their disguises and shouted loudly, "The Beiyang Army has failed, the escort ** has entered the city, we have won!" ”
The soldiers on the front line thought that the backyard **, and suddenly they were in chaos, and they didn't have the heart to fight, so they surrendered directly. Under the combination of inside and outside, ** captured the county seat garrisoned by the Beiyang Army at lightning speed.
In such battles, he has commanded many times, and most of them have won fewer defeats, and his name as the "god of war" has gradually spread. At this time, another new military star is rising in the hometown of **.
This is *** who was born in Guang'an County, Sichuan Province in 1904, because he is also a dragon, we call him Deng "Xiaolong". Deng "Xiaolong" spent the first half of his life studying, and unlike the "revolution in the barrel of a gun", he just began to yearn for new ideas and new culture in the West, and became a student studying in France.
** During the period of studying abroad, I gradually realized that Western bourgeois ideas could not save China. He firmly believed that only by emancipating the mind and finding the correct path to salvation and survival can we change China's historical destiny.
So, without hesitation, he joined the Communist Party of China and became a staunch believer in Marxism. Next, he threw himself into the revolutionary struggle against imperialism and feudalism, leading the armed forces, which eventually formed the Eighth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
Similarly, after the baptism of war, he joined the Communist Party of China and became a member of the revolutionary road of seeking national liberation and national independence. When these two roads intersected on the Taihang Mountain, they finally met.
**Hugged excited*** their conversation was full of hometown cordiality and enthusiasm. Although the time between them is staggered, their thoughts and ideals are closely connected.
Under the leadership of the party, they worked together for China's future and ultimately achieved China's independence and prosperity.
When Liu Deng inspected the battlefield, their relationship gradually warmed up in the cordial vernacular. Although the strategic imperatives kept them working together for a limited amount of time, it did not affect their personal relationship.
After the victory of the Long March, Liu and Deng were sent to the Taihang Mountains, which was an important step in the fight against the Kuomintang. As long as you firmly control Taihang Mountain, you can control the heart of the enemy and become the key to a decisive victory thousands of miles away in the Soviet Union.
After receiving the order, Liu Deng and the two looked at each other and smiled, they are the intersection of "two dragons", joining forces, any difficulties and strong enemies are "paper tigers" in their eyes; They were fearless, opened roads in the mountains, built bridges in the water, and no difficulties could stop their "Liu Deng army".
Liu Deng's march to Taihang Mountain This painting is based on the prototype of Li Yunlong's independent regiment in "Bright Sword", in fact, the regiment belongs to the 129th Division of Liu and Deng, and Li Yunlong's "teacher" ** and the political commissar of the 129th Division *** They work together, eat, and jointly formulate combat plans, and even have many things in common in combat methods.
During the surprise attack on Shentouling, in the face of the narrow and rugged mountain beams, the subordinates opposed the ambush, but Liu and Deng both thought that they should do the opposite, and the result was a victory in completely annihilating the enemy.
They not only share a common heart in military affairs, but also take care of and support each other in life. This painting vividly depicts the demeanor of Liu and Deng, showing their image of wisdom and bravery.
**Always care about the teacher's body and work, the teacher's eyesight is not good, and he is older, Xiaoping will take the general small things on himself, and the big things will be handed over to the division commander for decision-making.
In order to alleviate the fatigue of the division commander, he even took the initiative to undertake trivial tasks such as drafting documents and reports. Every late at night, he would worry that the division commander would hurt his eyes when he looked at the drawings, so he personally held a lamp to illuminate the place where the division commander wanted to look, and even pronounced the name of the place.
**This care and respect for *** is in my eyes, in my heart, and I respect this junior even more.
Liu Deng's army had a special tacit understanding, that is, the opinions of the division commander and the political commissar were usually the same. Whether it is to ask Division Commander Liu or Political Commissar Deng, as long as one person nods in agreement, the other person will definitely say: "Do as Master Liu (Political Commissar Deng) said."
This special symbiosis of the community has made the 129th Division a unit with strict discipline and deep military-political relations.
Behind Liu Deng's precious group photo, there is not only their tacit cooperation in operations, but also their deep understanding of the construction of base areas and political work. Their thoughts and feelings are intimately connected, as if they were one.
Even when they were temporarily separated due to the need for a strategic shift, they still maintained close contact through the radio, exchanged combat strategies with each other, and said peace to each other. Every morning, ** will care about the position of political commissar Deng and the surrounding enemy situation, their cooperation is seamless, so that the 129th Division shines in the "Hundred Regiment Battle", annihilating more than 1,000 enemies, capturing a large number of ** equipment, and successfully blocking the Japanese army's "sweeping" operation.
The spirit of cooperation and strategic vision shown by the two of them have become valuable assets in the history of China.
Liu Deng Dajun"In the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was like fixing the needle of the sea, making the enemy helpless, and the slightest carelessness would cause the loss of troops. By the time of the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang also tasted bitterness. "
Liu Deng Dajun"Thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain, although the road is far away, but the discipline is strict, did not alarm the enemy, and sounded the charge for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. In 1949,"Liu Deng Dajun"Like a sharp sword unsheathed, it is unstoppable, and the enemy who strikes loses his armor.
Nanjing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places were liberated one after another. In the end, the revolutionary pair, who had been fighting together for 13 years, stood on the tower of Tiananmen Square, listening to the *** announcement"The People's Republic of China, today, was founded. "
They looked at each other and smiled again, as if they had returned to the moment when they first met.
In 1949, the two "dragons" returned to their hometown. By 1986, the friendship between the "big dragon" and the "little dragon" could not be continued, and unfortunately the yin and yang were separated. At the memorial service held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, his heart was like a knife, and he fondly recalled the joys and sorrows of the two people's lives: "Bo Cheng was ill for a long time and finally passed away unfortunately, and his death made me extremely sad......"Before he died, he left a will, and his ashes were not buried in Babao Mountain, but were taken to Taihang Mountain.
In this land soaked in the revolutionary sweat of Liu and Deng, Liu Deng's sculpture stands quietly, symbolizing their immortal exploits. Ten years later, Deng Gong left us, but their spirit is immortal.
Perhaps, in the cold wind and the roaring trees in the mountains, we can still hear their charging horns and deep conversations, and the spirits of Liu and Deng will always be intertwined and never separated.
