Founding General Deng Hua once served as the acting commander and commander of the Volunteer Army, and after returning to China, he once served as the commander of the Shenyang Military Region, but since then, Deng Hua's position has not been as expected, and even disappeared for a time, why is this?
Deng Hua was born in an ordinary scholarly family in Hunan, and studied private school since he was a child, which laid a good foundation for Deng Hua's future Confucian career.
During the Red Army, Deng Hua appeared as a political commissar. After the bloody battle of Xiangjiang, in the face of the low morale of the troops on the march and the confusion about the uncertainty of the future, Deng Hua, as a political commissar, stood up to boost the morale of the troops: Comrades, although the road ahead is very difficult, we must believe that Mr. Zhu and Mr. Zhu will lead the Red Army to break out of the enemy's encirclement.
Deng Hua paused and continued: Some soldiers do not eat because of temporary defeats, this is not right, people are iron and steel, and the body is the capital of the revolution, and if we want to defeat the enemy, we must first take care of ourselves. After saying that, Deng Hua was the first to sit down to eat, and the soldiers also gobbled up under his leadership. The morale of the troops was well restored by the mobilization of his political ideology.
During the Liberation War, Deng Hua was the commander of the 7th Column of the Northeast Field Army. At that time, Dongye launched the autumn offensive, in order to cooperate with the autumn offensive, the superiors ordered the 7th column to monitor and block the Sixth Army on the Shenyang side and destroy the Beining Railway. Deng Hua made up his mind that he should find the weak point of the enemy's defense and expand the results of the battle at the right time.
After judging and analyzing the enemy's situation, Deng Hua found that the enemy's defenses in Faku and Zhangwu in western Liaoning were empty, and the enemy defending Faku was only more than 3,000 people, so Deng Hua decisively ordered the troops to march 180 miles in a day and night to cross the Beining Line to attack Faku. At that time, some subordinates raised objections to Deng Hua: divide the army treasury, in case the treasury cannot be taken down, and the New Sixth Army slips away under the nose, what should I do at that time? Deng Hua tried to persuade his subordinates to fight Zhangwu.
Deng Hua's sudden change of tactics disrupted the deployment of the Kuomintang army, and in this way, the PLA soldiers occupied Zhangwu without blood. In just 10 days, Deng Hua led 7 columns to drive more than 700 miles, swept through most of the western Liaoning region, captured 4 cities, annihilated more than 8,000 enemies, and changed the situation on the battlefield in western Liaoning.
Deng Hua served as the commander of the 15th Corps of the Fourth Field Army, and led his troops to participate in the Battle of Hengbao and the Battle of Liberation of Guangdong, fighting all the way from Baishan and Heishui to Hainan Island. At the beginning, some people suggested the time for the liberation of Hainan Island, because the liberation of Hainan Island required a sea-crossing operation, but the PLA Navy had just been established and did not have the conditions to go to sea to fight at all, and the PLA had just experienced the failure of landing on Kinmen Island, and the PLA was extremely cautious about the sea-crossing and landing operations. Therefore, some people have proposed that the time for the liberation of Hainan Island should be carried out only after the PLA Navy has the ability to go to sea to fight.
But there are two generals in the People's Liberation Army who do not agree with such a statement, one is Deng Hua, and the other is Han Xianchu! They believe that the liberation of Hainan Island should be done as soon as possible, and it will not be easy to solve it once the international situation becomes complicated. Moreover, the Kuomintang army did not expect that the PLA would not dare to cross the sea to fight, and launching the Hainan Island campaign in advance could take the PLA by surprise and gain an unstable foothold. So Deng Hua and Han Xianchu jointly reported to *** that they would like to liberate Hainan Island first, and their ideas coincided with ***. **With a wave of his hand, he ordered Deng Hua and Han Xianchu to lead two armies to launch the Battle of Hainan Island in advance.
First of all, Deng Hua has to solve a problem first, that is, what if there are not enough ships to cross the sea, or even **? Some people say how not to buy ** from the Soviets? There was simply no time to come. Deng Hua and Han discussed with Chu that they should simply find a big bamboo sea to secretly build wooden ships and secretly train the landing troops, all of which were carried out in secret. On the other hand, Deng Hua and Han Xianchu have repeatedly said in public that the PLA needs three months to recuperate.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, but Deng Hua still thinks it is bad**? After discussing with Han Xianchu, he felt that he should send a small force to smuggle in and join the Qiongya Column, so as to give the Kuomintang army a combination of inside and outside, and disrupt the defense line of the Kuomintang army. The four smuggling successes before and after, the four times before and after the smuggling of a total of 1 division of troops, this division and the Qiongya column composed of the troops turned the defense line upside down, for the large army to cross the sea played a good role in the retraction!
Deng Hua commanded nearby, and the headquarters was specially set up in Xuwen. In order to maintain absolute superiority in the vitality of the offensive, in the early morning he ordered to concentrate all the artillery of the 15 Corps to fire at the enemy in order to suppress the enemy's vitality. The People's Liberation Army concentrated 350 large wooden boats to launch a landing operation on Hainan Island, and when he was leaving, Deng Hua said to the commanders and fighters: Comrades, you will complete the spectacle in the history of war with wooden boats, although our wooden boats cannot defeat the enemy, but we are on the side of the people, please comrades with one heart, even if you swim, you must swim to Hainan Island, liberate Hainan Island, our behavior today is destined to be written in history.
With the extension of artillery fire, Deng Hua gave an order, the 40th Army and the 43rd Army, a total of 80,000 horses, respectively on 350 large wooden boats and a small number of sailing boats, across the Leizhou Peninsula to Hainan Island, although encountered the Kuomintang ** fire suppression blockade and windy weather, but the PLA soldiers played a fearless fighting spirit, with the cooperation of the troops who landed ashore in the early stage, successfully landed in the early morning of the next day, destroying the Kuomintang proud of the steel defense line.
At this time, ** once again made the mistake of taking it for granted, thinking that the PLA had just landed ashore and should take the opportunity to gain a foothold and drive the PLA into the sea, but Deng Hua once again went the opposite way and concentrated superior forces on the same day to pursue and launch the "Meiting Decisive Battle" to defeat the last force and liberate the entire Hainan Island.
In the entire battle of Hainan Island, Deng Hua's military talent was once again demonstrated, and he commanded the PLA to complete the war spectacle of "winning with wooden boats".
In the Korean battlefield, Deng Hua assisted Mr. Peng in completing the organization and implementation of the first to fifth battles, and suggested in the second battle that Mr. Peng first let the volunteers pretend to be defeated and grasp the psychology of the American army. The U.S. troops were fooled into entering the encirclement of the Volunteers, and the Volunteers used a great detour and superior forces to divide and encircle the encircled U.S. troops, breaking the enemy forces and driving the U.S. troops back south of the 38th parallel, thus laying a solid foundation for the victory of the Korean War in the future.
In this process, Deng Hua and Peng Lao summed up the deep revolutionary friendship, and Mr. Peng also admired Deng Hua's commanding talent very much. Mr. Peng suggested to *** that Deng Hua should be the acting commander of the Volunteer Army during the stage of returning to China to recuperate, and ** replied with two words in the telegram - agree!
In the Battle of Jinseong, in the face of Syngman Rhee's hard-line attitude of the South Korean army refusing to hand over prisoners of war, Deng Hua, as the acting commander of the Volunteer Army, planned to teach the South Korean army a lesson! End the last battle of the Korean War with victory!
Deng Hua's eyes were set south of Geumseong, the salient of the South Korean army that occupied the 38th parallel to the Chinese and North Korean sides—an area 25 kilometers wide and 12 kilometers deep, in which several divisions of the South Korean Army were located. From a military point of view, the place where you lie down will not allow others to snore, and the removal of this salient will straighten the actual ceasefire line between the two sides!
Deng Hua reported his battle plan to Mr. Peng and Mr. Peng, and in the telegram he agreed with Deng Hua's strategic deployment and marked: It is extremely necessary to annihilate more than 10,000 South Korean troops!
After getting the approval of *** and Mr. Peng, Deng Hua concentrated the absolute superiority of 5 armies and 3 artillery regiments to break through the enemy's Jincheng defense line. In the battle, the Volunteers concentrated more than 1,000 artillery pieces and fired more than 700,000 shells into the enemy's positions, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy's four divisions with a overwhelming momentum. The Battle of Jincheng lasted three days, capturing alive the deputy commander of the enemy's "Capital" division, destroying more than 50,000 enemy troops, recovering more than 170 square kilometers of land to the south, knocking out the salient and straightening the battle line. After this battle, the joint ** led by the US military obediently returned to the negotiating table to sign an armistice agreement. Since then, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has achieved a great victory!
In recognition of General Deng Hua's outstanding contributions in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the DPRK awarded General Deng Hua the highest medal of the Republic - the Order of the National Flag of the First Class!
Why did Deng Hua, who had great achievements, have a good future, but after returning to China, his position has not been as expected, or even disappeared? General Deng Hua was awarded the rank of founding general for his military exploits, because after the Lushan Conference, Deng Hua has always said good things for Mr. Peng during the disaster period, and also helped Mr. Peng during the disaster period, but refused to fall into the ground, but was accidentally implicated, from the commander of the Shenyang Military Region to the vice governor of Sichuan Province, but General Deng Hua has no regrets, has been inquiring about Mr. Peng's whereabouts, and wants to protect Mr. Peng secretly. In order not to cause trouble for Deng Hua, Mr. Peng looked at Deng Hua from a distance at the door of Deng Hua's house.
After Mr. Peng was rehabilitated, he specially asked Deng Hua to give him a lighter, and said: Deng Hua likes to smoke, I specially brought him a lighter from abroad, but unfortunately I can't give it to him personally. Listening to this, Deng Hua shed tears of excitement and smoked on a lighter again (although Deng Hua quit smoking for a long time due to illness).
General Deng Hua completed his legendary life at the age of 70.
