As the saying goes, "one hero has three gangs", which is true. If you don't believe it, even Mr. Peng, who is ranked among the top ten marshals, has his inseparable partner and helper-Deng Ping. However, few people know about Mr. Peng's partner, because as early as the Battle of Zunyi in February 1935, Deng Ping, who was only 27 years old, died heroically.
The friendship between Mr. Peng and Deng Ping can be traced back to the 20s of the last century, when Mr. Peng swore in the party, it was presided over by Deng Ping. In other words, Deng Ping is the leader of Mr. Peng's revolutionary road. Moreover, the two have been partners since the Pingjiang Uprising in 1928, until Deng Ping's death, and the two spent 7 years of revolutionary time together. There is no doubt that Deng Ping can be favored by Mr. Peng, and it is naturally indispensable to have real skills. When the Pingjiang Uprising was launched, when the form of the enemy was unclear, Deng Ping was able to talk eloquently about the situation in the city, and the arrangement of troops was also mature and sophisticated.
Later, the rebel troops were reorganized, and Mr. Peng became the commander of the Red Fifth Army, while Deng Ping was hard-pulled by him to be the chief of staff, and even said: "Without Deng Ping, I can't do anything!" You must know that these words came out of the mouth of General Peng, who was "immediately swordsman", which shows his trust in Deng Ping. Facts have proved that Mr. Peng's trust in Deng Ping is not unreasonable. During the first anti-encirclement and suppression campaign that year, in the face of a large-scale attack by the enemy army, the "escapism" within the Red Army was very loud, and many people had no confidence in defeating the enemy army. At this time, only Deng Ping resolutely advocated crossing the Gan River to fight the enemy, believing that only by putting him to death could he survive. Mr. Peng, who had always trusted Deng Ping, naturally followed Deng Ping's advice, and as a result, the Red Army successfully won the anti-encirclement and suppression, preserving the fire for the revolution.
Just imagine, if Deng Ping had not insisted on his own views despite public opinion, and if Mr. Peng had not obeyed Deng Ping's words, where would the Red Army go? In addition to the seamless cooperation at work, the friendship between the two is also very strong, and it is probably not too much to say that it is a lifelong friendship. At that time, the Red Fifth Army was surrounded and suppressed by the enemy, and seeing that it was hopeless to defend to the death, the two began to figure out how to break through. As a result, Deng Ping did not hesitate to take over the task of tearing apart the enemy's defense line, and arranged for Mr. Peng to lead the team to follow up. There is no doubt that this is to leave the hope of life to Mr. Peng, after all, in the face of heavy sieges, the chances of winning a frontal assault are really pitiful. Fortunately, the troops finally succeeded in breaking through, and Deng Ping was only slightly injured. Later, Deng Ping returned from injury, and the two big men who reunited after a long absence hugged each other tightly, this kind of feeling, I'm afraid it is not what we can understand today!
It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, Deng Ping died unfortunately when attacking Zunyi City, at the age of 27. Mr. Peng, who heard the bad news, gave an order with red eyes: Zunyi City must be defeated! Because he knows that only in this way can he be worthy of his partner! Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Peng still often recalls Deng Ping, saying that Deng Ping sacrificed too much, and he is responsible and sorry for him.
