In January 1976, our beloved *** passed away, Huang Kecheng was released from guardianship, and an old subordinate was the first to come to visit. To everyone's surprise, this old subordinate is not Huang Kecheng's favorite generals Liu Zhen, Hong Xuezhi, or Zhong Wei.
It's Han Xianchu.
Han Xianchu came to visit Huang Kecheng, why were everyone very surprised? Because they once had an unhappy past with each other. Things have to start from the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan. The Eighth Route Army was established, and the 344 Brigade led by Han Xianchu in Xu Haidong.
Huang Kecheng was sent to the 344th Brigade as the brigade political commissar and became Han Xianchu's top boss. The 344 Brigade had the defection of Zhang Shaodong, which had a very bad impact, Xu Haidong was so angry that he left the front line and went to Yan'an for treatment, and Huang Kecheng became the backbone of this army.
The troops must be reorganized and their thinking must be unified. Huang Kecheng didn't trust the old cadres of the 344 Brigade very much, and he reused Liu Zhen. Han Xianchu has opinions about Huang Kecheng, and he likes to give opinions, and Huang Kecheng doesn't pay attention to him even more.
As soon as the Anti-Japanese War was fought in 1941, Han Xianchu left the front line and returned to Yan'an to study. He was reluctant to work under Mr. Wong's leadership. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Xianchu was sent to the Northeast Battlefield and asked him to serve in the **?
At that time, Huang Kecheng led the Third Division of the New Fourth Army to the northeast first, which was Han Xianchu's old subordinate. The superiors were ready to send Han Xianchu to the Third Division, and first asked Huang Kecheng for his opinion, but Huang Kecheng replied that there was no shortage of cadres in the Third Division, and Han Xianchu was turned away.
Fortunately, Han Xianchu was a rare general, and he was more competitive, went to the fourth column, and then served as the commander of the third column, playing the prestige of the whirlwind commander, and his fame surpassed any of Huang Kecheng's old subordinates, and even surpassed Huang Kecheng himself.
He earned it all by himself.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huang Kecheng served in the General Headquarters and served as the secretary general of the Central Military Commission and chief of the General Staff, while Han Xianchu was the commander of the Fuzhou Military Region. In 1958, ** decided to bombard Kinmen, Huang Kecheng sat in the Military Commission to assist *** and *** command, and Han Xianchu was on the front line of the Fuzhou Military Region.
They work well together. After 1959, Huang Kecheng was unlucky with ***, and Han Xianchu was still the commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, and in 1973, he was transferred to the Lanzhou Military Region as the commander.
In 1976, Huang Kecheng was 74 years old, and Han Xianchu was 63 years old. They are all old. The brothers are here, and they meet with a smile and a grudge. The grievances of the past have long been history, and Han Xianchu still respects and cares about the old chief Huang Kecheng very much.
So he was the first to visit the old chief. Seeing Han Xianchu coming, Huang Kecheng was very moved. Han Xianchu said that he was going to visit Dazhai and made a special trip to Taiyuan to visit Huang Lao, wanting to see how Huang Lao's life and health were.
Han Xianchu thought that after so many years of suffering, Huang Kecheng must be full of grievances and complaints. But this is not the case. Huang Kecheng did not talk about his own life, but talked about his views on Dazhai, he said, Dazhai is a great advanced model, worth seeing, the meaning of which is more worth thinking.
This surprised Han Xianchu. At that time, Han Xianchu did not know very well what Dazhai was like and what the spirit of Dazhai was, so he wanted to visit it in person. Unexpectedly, Huang Kecheng's understanding of Dazhai was more advanced than Han Xianchu.
It seems that for so many years, although Huang Kecheng is in a bad situation, he has not been isolated from the world and is willing to fall, but is learning and thinking with the times.
What surprised Han Xianchu even more was that Huang Kecheng did not say a word about his grievances, nor even talked about his own problems, but worried about the country and the people, thinking more about what the country should do after his death, and what should he do in the future?
Han Xianchu stared at Huang Kecheng's eyes, couldn't help but be in awe, and said, Old Huang, you still think deeply. Then, Han Xianchu got up and said goodbye. Huang Kecheng is Huang Kecheng, and at all times, he puts the interests of the country and the destiny of the country first.
