The angry side of King Kong (above).
There is nothing happier in the world than to share the romance of sunrise and sunset with you and enjoy the prosperity of the world. The most beautiful thing is to go through the wind and frost of the years hand in hand with you. ”
On September 18, 1961, ** visited the Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall. Suave, but he hasn't always been suave, and he also has moments when he slaps the table and gets angry.
In 1927, in the face of Zhang Guotao's obstacles, ** slapped the table; After the Liping meeting during the Long March, ** also slapped the table angrily. Before the Nanchang Uprising, the CCP had long focused its work on organizing the masses and propaganda work, and had no experience in leading military struggles independently.
As far as the party is concerned, there are not many leaders with military work experience, ** one of the few. Under the careful organization and planning of *** and others, the preparations for the Nanchang Uprising were gradually ready.
At this critical moment, the former enemy committee received two secret telegrams from Zhang Guotao, the first representative of the Chinese Communist Party, demanding that the riot should be cautious, and saying that in any case, it would wait until he arrived in Nanchang before making a decision.
** Enraged, he even resigned to fight and slapped the table, and it was this angry act that allowed the uprising to be carried out as planned, and the Nanchang Uprising was achieved. After the start of the Long March, the leaders of the CCP made the mistake of escapism in retreat, insisting on two "never forget".
At the critical moment, he supported the policy of transferring troops to Guizhou proposed by ***, which was consistent with Wang Jiaxiang and others, and finally avoided the annihilation of the whole army. Li De's attitude made *** very angry, and it was reasonable to slap the table and get angry.
During the Anti-Japanese War at the Liping Conference Memorial Hall, he was furious about the Kuomintang's Changsha arson case. After the outbreak of the nationwide War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party re-joined hands to carry out a second cooperation to jointly resist the Japanese army.
Because of his outstanding performance in work and cooperation negotiations, he has become a key figure in promoting the cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party. At the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China held in December 1937, it was decided that Xiang Ying, Bogu, Dong Biwu and others would form the Yangtze River Bureau of the Communist Party of China to lead the work in southern China; At the same time, it was also decided that the CCP diplomatic delegation would be formed by *** and others to be responsible for negotiating with the Kuomintang and promoting cooperation between the KMT and the CPC.
** As a result, he assumed the leadership of the united front and the national control area. In late October 1938, Guangzhou and Wuhan were lost, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered a stage of strategic stalemate.
** It was only on the day of the fall of Hankou that he was evacuated from Wuhan. After that, he traveled through Tianmen, Shashi, Gong'an, and Changde, and arrived in Changsha on October 27.
At that time, all the ministries and commissions of the National Military Commission were in Changsha, and he served as the deputy director of the Political Department of the Military Commission, and in this capacity he also participated in the military meeting held by the Military Commission from November 1 to 3.
On November 10, the Japanese army moved south from Wuhan, and then Yueyang, the gateway to northern Hunan, fell, and Changsha became the front line of the War of Resistance for a while. At that time, a large number of Kuomintang party and government institutions, exile groups, disaster victims, and wounded soldiers gathered in the city, and the evacuation work was very urgent.
** He was also leading the command of the retreat of the personnel of the Third Department of the Political Department, and was busy negotiating trains and cars for several days to help them formulate a retreat plan, and was busy until late at night on the 12th.
After a tiring day, *** returned to the 18th Group Army office in Changsha City to rest, preparing to leave for Xiangtan the next day. At 2 o'clock in the morning the next day, ***, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly woken up by the staff.
It turned out that there was a fire in Changsha City, and the flames of the city were reflected in the sky. The fire spread rapidly, burning to the courtyard of ***'s residence, and the gate was sealed by flames.
How did this disaster, also known as the "Wenxi Fire", happen? To this day, due to the complex situation and multiple command structures at the time, the exact responsibility for the situation remains murky.
However, through the recollections of the parties and the combing of relevant materials, we can get a glimpse of the big picture.
