After it was determined that Mr. Peng would serve as the commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army, before Mr. Peng took command of the expedition, he deliberately used a radical method against him. History has proved that this method of agitation is very effective and has played a very good role.
On October 4, 1950, Mr. Peng was suddenly picked up by a plane flying from Beijing. **With the order, as soon as the plane arrived in Xi'an, Mr. Peng was immediately picked up. Time was so tight that Mr. Peng didn't even go home to get some change of clothes.
Early in the morning of October 5th, ** sent *** to take Mr. Peng to Zhongnanhai. After the meeting, Mr. Peng sat downOne question, what do you think are the favorable conditions for us to send troops to the DPRK? At that time, it was not decided to send troops, and ** did not ask whether troops should be sent, but asked what are the favorable conditions for sending troops?
**'s attitude is already very obvious, and he hopes to get the support of Mr. Peng. Mr. Peng replied, "Chairman, I thought about it all night yesterday and agreed with your decision to send troops to aid the DPRK. After reaching a consensus on this point, ** has a bottom in my heart.
He asked, who do you think is more appropriate? Mr. Peng replied, "Isn't it already confirmed" that Comrade Peng is going?
talked about the situation of **, he was sick and couldn't go, and then said, our opinion, this burden, or you are the one to pick, you are not mentally prepared, right?
Mr. Peng was indeed unprepared ideologically, and his mind was full of plans for building the Great Northwest. It doesn't matter, the important thing is that *** has spoken, ** has been decided, then he will resolutely obey. Mr. Peng has always been like this, and he has nothing to say about the decision of **.
On October 6, a meeting of the Military Commission was held in Zhongnanhai. ** At the meeting, I said that for the sake of safety and to avoid bombing by enemy planes, as for the position set up by General Peng Lao's command post, my opinion is that it can be set up in a hidden position on the north bank of the Yalu River.
What does that mean? ** means that although Mr. Peng served as the commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army, he himself did not have to go to North Korea, it would be too dangerous, he only needed to sit in the domestic command.
Don't you know Mr. Peng? From the period of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, to the War of Resistance Against Japan, and then to the War of Liberation, with a career of more than 20 years, when did Mr. Peng set up the command post in the rear? He's always been at the forefront.
His command post was always forward and forward, sometimes only a few hundred meters from the enemy's position. Who dares to cross the knife immediately, only I am General Peng. When was Mr. Peng afraid? In this regard, ** should understand, why did he still say that Mr. Peng did not have to cross the Yalu River?
This is a typical agitation method. Those who are familiar with ancient Chinese military history know that there is a saying that it is better to provoke the general. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu wanted to attack Changsha, and Zhuge Liang deliberately used the method of agitation on him to arouse the general's heroism.
** I said that people need to have a little spirit. The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition. To take command of the expedition to resist US aggression and aid Korea, heroic spirit is even more needed. **'s agitation method is very effective, Mr. Peng immediately objected, he disagreed with ***'s opinion.
Mr. Peng advocated that he must cross the Yalu River, enter Korea, be with the front-line troops, and be with Kim Il Sung, so as to facilitate the coordination of the two armies and unify the battle. What are you afraid of when US planes bomb you?
On the night of October 19, Mr. Peng could not wait for the large army to cross the river, and he took the lead in entering North Korea with his staff officers, guards and drivers. There are many dangers along the way, and Mr. Peng is not afraid at all. Not only did he have to cross the river, but he had to be the first to cross the river to meet Kim Il Sung.
After he arrived in North Korea, the troops had not yet followed, so that Mr. Peng sighed and said, I have really become the commander of the light pole now. Mr. Peng, the commander, has gone to the front line, how can the soldiers not be indomitable?
It is precisely because of this fearless spirit of defying hardships and dangers and taking the lead that we won the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
