February 21, 1972, an urgent telegram was sent to Beijing.
The guards who saw the telegramNot daring to delay for a moment, he took the telegram, ignored the guard's obstruction, and handed his hands to ***, who was deliberating with ***
Seeing the news on the telegram, ***, who has experienced strong winds and waves, still can't hide his grief, mourn for a moment, and tell *** in a hoarse voice"Guohua, let's go. ”
A few days later, on a rainy night, a plane flew from Sichuan to Beijing overnight, and a pale and white-haired lady slowly stepped off the special plane with a black urn in her arms.
Looking at the *** and former comrades-in-arms standing quietly in the rain, the 52-year-old lady has aged a lot in a few days, and her fatigue is exhausted.
That's exactly what comesZhang Guohua's wife Fan Jinzhen
At the beginning of the war, they relied on each other to grow old in peacetime.
Overnight, the family has changed dramatically, the pain of losing a daughter is still like the next night, and now it is experiencing the death of a family member again.
Mrs. Zhang, who saw the prime minister, could no longer hide her grief.
This situation is heremade *** greatly moved, stepped forward quickly, and took Zhang Guohua's ashes with both hands, tearfully saluted Mrs. Zhang, and sighed sadly:"Mourning, Guohua left too early, and the party and the people will remember him. ”
October 1927The first revolutionary base was established in JinggangshanThrough practice, we will actively explore the road to the salvation and survival of old China under the oppression of the three mountains.
At that time, aspiring young people from all over the country who wanted to change the destiny of the country actively responded to participate.
Born as a peasantZhang Fugui, which I have participated in long beforePeasant night schools founded by the Communist Party.
Before in night school,He first learned about communism
At that time, because of the turbulent situation, Fugui's family became poor, and he worked hard every day to farm, but he still couldn't eat enough food and clothingThe knowledge of night school is a good medicine for him.
Coming to his hometown of Jinggangshan is like a spark of hope.
Therefore,Zhang Fugui, who was not yet fifteen years old at the time, renamed himself "Guohua", bid farewell to his parents, and resolutely threw himself into the wave of the Jinggangshan Revolution.
As a revolutionary person, Zhang Guohua in his youth was never afraid of difficulties.
He started as a small soldier, worked as a bugleman, fried rice, delivered letters, and became a company commander step by step from squad leader.
In addition to the revolution, he did not forget to study.
He participatedUniversity of the Red ArmyThe training, followed by *** and *** Prime Minister, learn advanced political and military courses,In the classroom, directly accept the new ideas of Chinese communism and arm their actions with ideas.
In 1935, during the 25,000-mile Red Army's Long March, they crossed the steep Jiajin Mountain.
One under Zhang GuohuaFrom the SouthLittle Warrior,I have never seen such a majestic and difficult snow-capped mountain.
Under the pressure of a hungry, unclothed body, the little warriorHomesicknessSuddenly crouched down and cried.
When the squad leader saw it, he angrily scolded the little soldierLet him stand up, don't be ashamed, affect the morale of the army.
At this timeZhang Guohua, who was resisting the wind and snow in front of the team and struggling to open the wayHearing the noise, he hurriedly ran down and stopped the squad leader's scolding.
He walked slowly to the little warrior, looked at the little warrior with the kind and calm eyes of an elder, and persuaded him
"You're still young, you're uncomfortable, and it's normal to cry. But as a member of the Red Army, after packing up your mood, you must still not be afraid to move forward, your father and mother are still waiting for you to bring them the hope of victory! ”
After speaking, Zhang Guohua slowly helped the little soldier up and shouted loudly:
"Comrades, ** always teach us not to be afraid of difficulties and dangers! Today's snow-capped mountains are about to merge into the spring of tomorrow, and at this moment I improvise a poem to inspire us on the way forward. ”
"The sky is full of birds, the mountains and beasts are gone, the red heroes, flying and breaking the ice and snow! ”
"Forward, forward, the exit of the snow-capped mountain is ahead, comrades, rush! ”
That's all,Under the leadership of Zhang Guohua, the company climbed snow-capped mountains, crossed grasslands, broke through Lazikou, and participated in the blocking battle.
After the baptism of wind and frost, Zhang Guohua has completely grown into a staunch communist fighter.
It can be described as a ,The spark was ignited, and finally expanded into a prairie fire.
1935 to 1949, as a good cadre of the party and the people,Zhang Guohua listened to the command, dared to fight, participated in countless battles, made great achievements, and rose all the way to the commander of the Second Field Army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he won numerous military medals of various kinds, each of which is a testimony of his honor and glorious years.
At that time, the founding of New China,However, the west has not yet been liberated, and it has been mentioned several times that people should be sent to focus on solving it.
January 2, 1950, a Class 4A emergency telegram from the Soviet Union to **.
This was sent by *** who was visiting the Soviet Union, but was still thinking about the new China.
The telegram mentions:**The autonomous region is vast and rich, although the population is sparse, but the strategic location is extremely important, that is, it is a key defense area, but also the window of the southwest, so it will be handed over to the military administration of the southwest and recovered as soon as possible.
According to the telegram, ** and *** conveyed the operational order to march to the Southwestern Military District, but the question of selecting generals became a major problem.
Who will be sent as the first commander?
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration, and the two of them had a good heartinvariably thought of Zhang Guohua, the commander of the 18th Army
Zhang GuohuaComing out of Jinggang Mountain, he has fought the puppet army, killed the enemy, driven away the ** forces, can fight well, and is excellent in both military and political affairs.
It has the ability to "surrender without a fight", and is also known as "the tenderness of an iron man, the god of war loved by the people".
Zhang Guohua, as the first general of this mission, couldn't be more suitable!
***, who was far away in Moscow, received a telegram reply and smiled: The general from Jinggangshan is reliable.
So, with a stroke of the pen, I agreed to this arrangement.
Zhang Guohua, who received the glorious task, could not hide his excitementBut he also knows that there is a great deal of responsibility.
At the mobilization meeting of cadres above the regiment level,Zhang Guohua's tone was firm: We must complete the reunification of the motherland and the Tibetan people must live a good life.
After Zhang Guohua's elaboration,The cadres profoundly understood the far-reaching vision of the western region and the strategic significance of the western region.
As a result, the cadres were gearing up and actively putting forward construction suggestions.
But in the midst of the heated discussion, Zhang Guohua, who was sitting in the first place, listened carefully to the lecture, and it was difficult to hide his sadness.
It turned out that on the morning of the meeting, Zhang Guohua received a ** from his wifesaid that his daughter had a high fever that did not go away, as if it was pneumonia, and hoped that he could come back to take a look.
Difficult is Zhang Guohua's pearl, and it is the couple's first child, who is less than 3 years old.
But in the face of the important task in front of him, Zhang Guohua resolutely hung up ** and cleaned up his lookSincerely ask the secretary to help him go to the hospital to take care of him.
The secretary was puzzled, pneumonia is not a small problem, so small children need a father,It was suggested that he postpone the meeting or let the deputy commander convene it on his behalf.
Zhang Guohua suddenly became angry and said angrily:
"This is a major event for the party and the people, more than 30,000 people are about to enter Tibet, everything must have a priority, today this meeting must be held, and I, the army commander, must be! ”
In the end, the meeting was successfully held, during which the secretary called ** several times, but Zhang Guohua refused to answer.
It wasn't until the evening, when the meeting ended, that Zhang Guohua hurried to the hospitalHe thought about telling her that her father was going to take her to see the Flaming Mountain, so that she could be strong and get better soon.
However, the creation of people has closed his eyes, and he will never have a chance to see the Flame Mountain again.
His wife Fan Jinzhen patted him on the shoulder silently, and then immediately turned to leave, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions in the next second.
suffered the painful blow of the untimely death of his young daughter, but Zhang Guohua did not have time to grieve, and immediately packed up his mood and returned to work.
Led by Zhang GuohuaThe army strictly implements the requirements of the first class, especially to respect the religious beliefs, customs and habits of the local people, protect the temple, and not live in the temple.
Even in the midst of violent storms, the troops took shelter from the rain under the eaves at most, and resolutely did not disturb the Tibetan people.
It is this strict style that has impressed the people of Tibet and the Living Buddha of Geda.
Geda Living BuddhaOffer to ask for receptionCommander Zhang Guohua,After the first approval, the living Buddha was finally appointed as the military and political commissar of the southwest and went to Lhasa to negotiate.
However, the unexpected thing isAfter his arrival, the Living Buddha was placed under house arrest.
Soon, inBritish spy FordAt the instigation of the company, Geda was brutally murdered.
After the news came, Zhang Guohua, who was angry and anxious, immediately convened an operational meeting to discuss the detailed operational reportAsk ** for the Battle of Qamdo, and only by opening Qamdo can the peaceful liberation be achieved.
** Very seriously, after careful consideration, agreed with his combat report.
So, after Zhang Guohua's careful deployment, YuOctober 7, 1950Go on the offensive. October 24thtook Qamdo, annihilated 6 reactionary regiments, captured 898 people, andCapture alive British agent Ford
The door was opened.
On May 23, 1951, Zhang Guohua was ordered to return to Beijing to negotiate with local representatives, and the meeting finally signed the "17-Article Agreement".
Because of such merits, Zhang Guohua was later honored as "General Foguang".
After that, General Zhang Guohua stayed in the local area.
He still did not dare to relax at all, and since he promised the Tibetan people, he would bring a new life to the locals.
So he threw himself into the local construction non-stopA number of primary schools have been established, and a sound education system has been initially established.
He also led the officers and soldiers to build highways, successivelyThe Kang-Tibet and Qinghai-Tibet highways were opened to trafficWait a minute.
1962 yearEruptedSelf-defense counterattack on the Sino-Indian border, General Zhang Guohua immediately rushed back from BeijingBring sick to the front line to command.
In the midst of coughing sounds, one detailed and effective battle plan after another was formulated.
The coughing sound seemed to turn into thunder and exploded on the frontline battlefield, and soon the horn of victory was heard from the front.
This is inseparable from General Zhang Guohua's rich combat experience and excellent operational command mindIt has even been praised as the "Himalayan God of War" by many military experts at home and abroad.
But time passed, and the god of war could not resist the disease.
On February 20, 1972, when Zhang Guohua was presiding over the meeting and speaking, he had a heart attack and collapsed at the venueThe medical team sent to Chengdu was also powerless.
On February 21, 1972, General Zhang Guohua passed away at the age of 58.
A black telegram was silently sent to Beijing, and ** and *** stood in grief in the conference room.
At the time of the event meeting later,I couldn't help but lament again: "I'll never see Guohua again!" ”
Subsequently,He left the event early to greet the ashes of General Zhang Guohua at the airport in the western suburbs of Beijing.
He sighed with tears in his eyes:"** was about to use him, but he left prematurely. ”
Heaven is affectionate but ruthlessGeneral Zhang Guohua's life was the life of a proletarian revolutionary, and he carried out the sacrifice of small love for great love to the end.
Zhang Guohua's family, also under the influence of the general, is a person who is free from low-level interests, and supports the general with understanding and tolerance.
However, such a revolutionary ancestor, who only died at the age of 58, had to sigh, God is jealous of talents!
The great man is gone, but the spirit lives on
I would like to pay tribute to the great revolutionary ancestors with this article!
