In 1962, Xu Shiyou carried a bottle of wine and sat in front of Deng Hua angrily
Deng Hua, the battle-hardened founding father, participated in the Gutian Conference, the Long March and the War of Resistance Against Japan, and fought all the way from the Northeast to Hainan Island in the War of Liberation.
Then, he rushed to Korea and participated in the first to five campaigns to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
Deng Hua is ***'s right-hand man and ***'s cronies.
Xu Shiyou, the founding general of the same name as Deng Hua, is also very popular, and he is regarded by the leader as a figure like Zhou Bo. From the Jute Uprising to the War of Liberation, Xu Shiyou's figure can be seen everywhere.
Xu Shiyou is open-minded and generous, attaches great importance to affection, and agrees with Deng Hua.
Although the two had known each other as early as the Red Army, they only worked together briefly during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In 1962, Xu Shiyou saw Deng Hua dining in the restaurant from a distance, holding the wine presented by ***, he was dissatisfied, and walked straight over.
Deng Hua also had anger in his heart, turned around and said, "You leave quickly!" ”
** once said: "We also have scholars in the Red Army!" ”
In February 1936, in Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, a meeting on the deployment of the Red Army was organized to prepare for the Red Army's eastward crossing of the Yellow River. Deng Hua and the young political commissar Xiao Hua attended the meeting.
At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions, listened carefully, and made comments from time to time.
Suddenly, ** touched his pocket and found that the cigarette case was empty, so he turned to Deng Hua beside him and asked, "Do you still have those platinum dragons?" ”
The platinum dragon was a cigarette produced by Nanyang Brothers, and Deng Hua had seized a lot from the Kuomintang during the Long March, kept some of it for his own use, and gave the rest to the Red Army.
**It was Deng Hua's reserves that were asked.
Yes, yes. Deng Hua said, took out his cigarettes, and distributed them to everyone present one by one.
** smiled and said: "Look, he took it out one by one, it's really 'wealth is not exposed'." ”
Everyone was amused and laughed, and Deng Hua continued: "The water flows for a long time." ”
After the smoke was over, the meeting continued, looking forward to the future, and suddenly said: "Outside Qilian, come and travel from Jindi." This time to cross the Yellow River eastward, it depends on your 1st Army and 15th Army Corps. ”
Deng Hua was educated in a private school, and he understood that *** This sentence was adapted from the first two sentences of Li Bai's "Farewell to Jingmen": "Crossing the far Jingmen and traveling from Chu State." ”
Hearing this familiar verse, Deng Hua was a little distracted for a while.
** Sensing that Deng Hua was absent-minded, he said meaningfully: "The challenge of crossing the Yellow River to the east is indeed not small!" ”
After Deng Hua quickly answered, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Deng Hua's reaction was very keen, and he immediately said: "With the correct leadership of the superiors and the high morale of the commanders and fighters, we don't have to worry about the Yellow River defense line being broken through, and we don't have to worry about not being able to drive the invaders away!" ”
He explained: "Just now, I suddenly remembered the poem "Farewell to Jingmen". ”
** proposed: "Then you might as well memorize a paragraph to cheer everyone on." ”
Deng Hua immediately stood up and recited word by word: "Crossing far outside Jingmen, come and travel from Chu State." The mountains follow the plains, and the rivers flow into the great wilderness. Under the moon, the flying mirror, the clouds are born and the sea is built. still pity the hometown water, thousands of miles to see off the boat. ”
**Can't help but applaud: "Great! Word for word! We also have scholars in the Red Army! ”
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, ** once said: "The Yankees hit the atomic bomb, I hit the grenade, and in the end I defeated them!" ”
After crossing the Yellow River in 1937, Deng Hua led his troops to participate in the Battle of Pingxingguan. Next, he fought with the Japanese army in the Jinchaji area for a long time and participated in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.
During this period, although Deng Hua has been under the leadership of ***, he has never had the opportunity to go to Yan'an.
In November 1944, as the power of the Japanese invaders was declining, Deng Hua finally had free time to go to Yan'an ** Party School to study.
After reporting the enrollment, Deng Hua was assigned to three teams.
Suddenly, Chen Geng, who was in charge of the third detachment, found him and told Deng Hua a good news: "*I'm going to meet you in Zaoyuan tomorrow." ”
Recalling that nearly nine years have passed since the last time he met ***, Deng Hua was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
Early in the morning, he got up early and went to the jujube garden to wait.
**Warmly stretched out his hands: "Comrade Deng Hua, welcome, welcome!" We haven't seen each other in a long time! ”
Listening to this familiar voice and holding the leader's broad and warm hands, Deng Hua couldn't help but burst into tears.
Deng Hua recalled the early years of the revolution for a while, and sighed: "Now that the cause has developed, the scale has become so large, unlike in Jinggangshan at the beginning, nor like in the Jiangxi Soviet District, there is only such a small area. It's not that easy to meet. ”
**Nodding frequently, he took Deng Hua's hand and walked into the house.
The two lit cigarettes and chatted about family life.
When the meal was approaching, ** deliberately said to the guard: "We are all Hunanese, put more spicy seeds!" ”
After the homely talk, they turned to the topic.
When the two talked about the troops' participation in the agricultural reclamation initiative, ** said: "I understand that everyone wants to fight!" Of course, you will fight a war, but now it is imperative to carry out agricultural production. We can't let the burden on the people be too heavy, we must be self-reliant and ensure that the people have enough food and clothing! ”
Deng Hua realized that the original intention of caring for the people and being wise and far-sighted has never changed.
At the time of parting, ** encouraged Deng Hua again: "Realizing the great unity of the whole party is our important task at present. ”
As *** said, "you have to fight the war", when the Japanese invaders were driven away, Chiang Kai-shek made waves again.
After the victory of the Liberation War, Deng Hua went to the northeast and participated in the suppression of bandits in western Liaoning, the Siping Campaign and the Liaoshen Campaign.
He followed in the footsteps of Siye and went south, participated in the Pingjin Campaign, and then crossed the Yangtze River and participated in the Hunan and Jiangxi and Guangdong Campaigns.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he commanded the Hainan Island Campaign. In 1950, Hainan had just been liberated, and before Deng Hua could take a breath, he received an order from ***: to serve as the commander of the 13th Corps of the Northeast Frontier Army.
Deng Hua said without hesitation: resolutely obey the order.
However, Deng Hua didn't know that this time it was *** who had high hopes for him, so he personally ordered the general.
After accepting the task, Deng Hua went to the Northeast and was received by *** and *** successively, and then ** invited him to Zhongnanhai as a guest.
In Zhongnanhai, ** first praised Deng Hua's heroic performance in the Battle of Hainan, and then said bluntly: "It seems that the United States will not sit idly by and watch North Korea."
** said earnestly: "Your mission this time is to defend the northeastern frontier, but at the same time be prepared to fight an unprecedented battle with the Americans." They may use atomic bombs, but we can only rely on grenades, follow them, and eventually defeat them. ”
Historical facts have proved that the foresight of ** was correct.
When the Korean People's Army seized Seoul and was about to move the capital, the powerful "United **" led by the American five-star general MacArthur landed at Inchon with great momentum.
The Northeast Frontier Army quickly entered the DPRK to fight, bravely resisted the US army, and opened the prelude to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
As the commander of the 13th Corps of the Northeast Frontier Army, Deng Hua immediately became the first deputy commander and first political commissar of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and personally participated in the first to fifth campaigns to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
As for Xu Shiyou, he entered the DPRK in 1953 as the commander of the 3rd Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers and participated in the summer counterattack operation.
Seeing the truth through wind and rain, although Deng Hua and Xu Shiyou are both old Red Army veterans and have known each other for a long time, they are not very close.
It wasn't until the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that Xu Shiyou became Deng Hua's subordinate, and the interaction between the two gradually increased.
After returning to China in 1954, Deng Hua stayed in the northeast, while Xu Shiyou went south to Jiangsu.
Due to the geographical distance, it is difficult for the two to have more communication than meeting at meetings.
Deng Hua and Xu Shiyou have similar personalities, they are both straightforward people and never beat around the bush. They also have one thing in common: absolute obedience to the orders of ***.
In December 1958, ** proposed that cadres at all levels of the army should serve as soldiers for one month: "I think all 'chiefs', whether they are army commanders, division commanders, etc., should serve for at least one month. ”
Accordingly, the General Political Department of the Central Military Commission issued relevant regulations, requiring the next company to serve as soldiers, from generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals to colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors.
In response to the call of the People's Republic of China, Yang Dezhi, commander of the Jinan Military Region, took the lead in joining the company, and then, a group of founding fathers, including General Deng Hua, commander of the Shenyang Military Region, and General Xu Shiyou, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, also went to the grassroots companies to serve as ordinary soldiers.
In 1960, due to work needs, Deng Hua had to take off the military uniform he had worn for most of his life and went to Sichuan to serve as vice governor.
Although he was a soldier at the beginning, and now his identity has changed to "parent official", Deng Hua quickly changed his thinking and went deep into more than 170 counties and cities, hundreds of factories and mines, and more than 1,000 rural social teams to conduct research.
At the same time, he also appreciated the reality of human warmth.
In August 1962, Deng Hua went to Beijing to attend the ** Work Conference and the Tenth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Once while eating at a restaurant, the waiter mistakenly delivered his meal to another table.
And that person has been an old comrade-in-arms with Deng Hua for many years.
The two worked in the same regiment during the Red Army, fought together in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and fought together in the Northeast and the Four Fields during the War of Liberation.
Deng Hua didn't think much about it, and walked straight over, wanting to dine with his old comrades.
However, as soon as the old comrades-in-arms saw Deng Hua, they turned around and left without hesitation.
Deng Hua could only sit alone in place, feeling a little unhappy. At this time, Xu Shiyou saw the situation and sat in front of Deng Hua with a bottle of wine.
Come, I just got the wine from ***, taste it! Xu Shiyou said as he unscrewed the cap of the bottle.
Deng Hua turned his face away and said to Xu Shiyou, "You go away." ”
Xu Shiyou understood his situation and didn't want to offend Deng Hua. He took a cup and drank the wine in one go, this glass of wine was actually holding grievances for Deng Hua.
Because of this, General Xu's last wish was fulfilled, and future generations will always remember his exploits; It is precisely because of this that there will be a steady stream of memorials in front of General Xu's mausoleum.
