In early January 1929, the main force of the Red 4th Army fell into the heavy pursuit of the Kuomintang army and fell into an existential crisis. The Red Army units managed to escape from danger after an arduous struggle.
After that, in order to better cope with the difficulties and challenges, it was decided to set up a mixed brigade of the former committee, and was appointed as the party representative and captain, and Han Wei was appointed as the deputy captain and guard platoon leader.
Their task is to lead this contingent and continue to move forward and grow stronger in order to achieve the great goal of the communist cause.
Han Wei became the first guard platoon commander to defend *** because of his brave spirit, although *** had a promotion for him, but he criticized *** because of one thing, which made *** speechless.
This incident is about Mao Zetan. In the winter of 1930, the Kuomintang army dispatched more than 100,000 people to carry out "encirclement and suppression" in the central part of the Soviet area. In the face of such a grim situation, it was decided to let Mao Zetan serve as a member of the Special Committee of Southwest Jiangxi and director of the rear office, and go to Junbu to preside over the work of expanding the red and prepare for the anti-"encirclement and suppression" and the fight against the enemy.
At the end of November, ** led the army to Junbu. On the way, he continued to inspect and was very pleased to see that the masses were actively participating in the war, the front line was receiving strong support, and a situation of "participation by the whole people" was presented.
However, there was one thing that he was very unhappy about. Right under his nose, two Red Army soldiers dragged a young man to fight. **Very angry, immediately stop them: "Enlisting in the army must be voluntary, how can you force others?"
This is not in line with our conscription policy! * Resolutely said: "Which unit are you from?" I want to meet your chief! ”
The two soldiers witnessed the powerful momentum of *** and understood his extraordinary identity, so they said frankly: "We are the local Red Army in southwest Jiangxi, and Director Mao (Mao Zetan) sent us to recruit soldiers, the task is arduous, and we have to act like this......."He immediately said: "Let them go first, I want to have an interview with Director Mao." ”
No one expected that this would make *** have a fierce dispute with Mao Zetan, and the *** who was so angry that he couldn't help himself even slapped Mao Zetan hard.
At that time, Han Wei had been with ***, and after witnessing this rare move, he resolutely said to ***: "You can't hit someone, it's a wrong behavior!" ”
He's your brother, but he's also part of our team. We have always stressed that officers and men are unanimous and that superiors cannot be inferior, and this is the principle of our ranks. ”
After listening to this, he was silent for a moment, then took a deep puff of his cigarette, as if thinking about Han Wei's words.
After Han Wei's criticism, ** changed his attitude. After calming down, he apologized to Mao Zetan and admitted that he made a mistake and should not be forced to make things difficult. Although Mao Zetan was somewhat wronged, he respected his eldest brother's justice, accepted the apology, and also accepted his eldest brother's suggestion.
In the subsequent work of expanding popularity, Mao Zetan resolutely emphasized the principle of voluntariness and opposed the coercion of the masses. This change did not affect the progress of the red expansion work, but attracted more volunteers to join the army, who fought without regret and bravely.
This incident left a deep impression on ***, especially Han Wei's brave criticism at that time. Why does Han Wei dare to criticize ***? Because he was immensely loyal to the revolution.
As early as 1922, Han Wei, who was only 16 years old, participated in the famous "Anyuan Strike" under the leadership of ***. Subsequently, he joined the Ye Ting Independent Regiment in the National ** Northern Expedition and participated in the Northern Expedition.
Later, under the leadership of ***, he participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and finally followed *** to Jinggang Mountain.
Follow *** and the revolutionary team all the way, and never waver. In the Battle of Xiangjiang, the Red 34th Division was almost completely annihilated, and he jumped off the cliff and escaped from death, becoming the only survivor.
His loyalty is admirable and appreciated. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was awarded the title of founding lieutenant general. Han Wei's life was full of challenges and dangers, he had many life and death on the battlefield, and the Battle of Xiangjiang was undoubtedly the most dangerous of them.
The Red Army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the Red 34th Division was almost completely annihilated. Among the people who jumped off the cliff, Han Wei, Hou Dekui and Luo Jindang were all hanging from the trees, but in the end, only Han Wei survived.
This force had a profound impact on his life. Despite the success of the revolution and the fact that he became a senior and founding lieutenant general, he never forgot his original intention, always remembered his old comrades-in-arms, and remained loyal to ***.
