In February 1963, Zhang Guohua went to Beijing to attend the meeting, and the meeting informed him: "General Zhang, at this meeting, I personally asked to hear your work report by name, saying that you have been fighting on the front line and are most familiar with the situation. ”
On the afternoon of the 19th, the debriefing meeting was held in Zhongnanhai, and many other leaders attended, and after seeing him, they cordially pulled him over and let him sit between himself and ***.
Zhang Guohua, the founding lieutenant general, in the early days of the founding of New China, he received an order to lead the 18th Army to liberate and ensure the stability of the country. In the process of going to **, he went all out to understand the situation of ** and prepare for the smooth implementation of national policies.
However, when his daughter suddenly became seriously ill and his life and death were uncertain, he did not hesitate to choose the great cause of the country. Although he knew that he might never see his daughter again, he remained at his post until her death.
His selfless dedication deeply reflects his love for the country and his concern for the people.
In March 1950, Zhang Guohua delivered a passionate oath speech in Leshan, in which he vowed: "I will definitely plant the five-star red flag on the Himalayas, so that the people of the first place can live a happy life." ”
If you grasp the opportunity, you will be able to defeat the enemy. Because he has done a lot of preparations, he has overcome many difficulties and obstacles that others cannot imagine on the road to the first place.
Under his command, the 18th Army was invincible and soon opened the door to **. After entering, the PLA soldiers actively publicized the policy of ** to the local people, appeased them, and finally felt the goodwill of the state.
In the end, **local** sent representatives to Beijing for negotiations. Zhang Guohua followed the instructions of *** and entered Lhasa in October and was warmly welcomed by the local monks and people.
Although we have successfully liberated the country, we have no choice but to take action in the face of malicious provocation by other countries. In June 1962, the Indian army invaded our territory and reached the Shannan region, where it set up a stronghold.
* It is China's territory, how can it tolerate other countries doing anything wrong here and establishing a stronghold? In the face of such unreasonable provocations, China naturally cannot bear it. To this end, a meeting was held in Zhongnanhai and other prominent leaders were invited to participate in the meeting, mainly to discuss how to solve the Sino-Indian issue.
"For many years, we have been trying to resolve the Sino-Indian border issue through peaceful means, but India has deliberately provoked a war and set up a stronghold in China, which is a serious provocation to us, and we must respond to it," he said. ”
After the meeting, ** called Zhang Guohua: "I heard that the Indian army is very combative, can we win this battle?" ”
Zhang Guohua said firmly: "Chairman, please believe me, we will definitely win this war. "In just one month, our army achieved victory, routed three Indian brigades, captured their main brigade commanders, and captured more than 7,000 Indian soldiers.
After the news reached ***, he was very excited and said: "Okay, let Zhang Guohua come to Beijing, I will hold a meeting and let him make a report." When he learned that he needed to report the situation to *** in person, Zhang Guohua felt a little nervous.
He knew that the chairman would not only listen to the briefing, but also ask questions from time to time, so what if he didn't answer well enough? In order not to miss a single detail, he prepared a detailed outline of the report, and after careful inspection, it was also handed over to *** for approval.
Zhang Guohua thought he was well prepared, but after arriving in Zhongnanhai, ** let him sit in the middle of the two chairmen. He plucked up the courage and gave a detailed report on the situation of the Sino-Indian war, which won the praise of ***.
