In 1952, Chen Geng was dispatched to the headquarters of the North Korean Hichang Volunteer Army, and he was extremely happy to see it, and the two of them worked together on the battlefield situation and tasks.
Chen Geng conveyed the concern of the Military Commission to ***, hoping that he could return to China as soon as possible to accept **, and expressed his willingness to work during this time. However, ** firmly stated that the tumor in his head was fine, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on until now. Chen Geng understood ***'s personality and understood that he would not change his decision, so he stopped persuading and left the room.
On the Korean battlefield, Mr. Peng's health was greatly tested. The heavy work and poor living conditions caused him to suffer from long-term insomnia and his health deteriorated. Last August, he noticed that a lump in his head was causing a headache, which he didn't pay attention to at first, but as the headache intensified, the lump grew bigger and bigger, and he had to seek medical help. Doctors initially judged that it was a benign tumor, but further observation was needed. Although his comrades-in-arms of the Volunteer Army repeatedly suggested that he return to China to accept **, Mr. Peng chose to continue to stick to his post out of his dedication to his work and worry about the war, which delayed **.
Chen Geng persuaded Mr. Peng to accept **, but Mr. Peng insisted on waiting until May to return to China. They found Song Shilun and other leaders to discuss how to let Mr. Peng return to China**. It turned out that *** and *** had been instructed, but Mr. Peng did not attach importance to it, thinking that minor illnesses would not kill people. In the end, everyone decided to report to *** again, and only after getting their instructions, Mr. Peng would listen.
Mr. Peng was seriously ill, and both ** and *** ordered him to return to China ** no later than mid-April. Chen Geng found Mr. Peng, told him about the decision, and handed over the telegram. Mr. Peng finally realized that he couldn't delay any longer.
Mr. Peng discussed the issue of front-line defense with Chen Geng and Deng Hua, and Mr. Peng said that he did not plan to return to China for treatment, and the atmosphere present was tense. Chen Geng criticized Mr. Peng's misdemeanor and insisted that he obey ***'s orders. Mr. Peng defended that he was in good health and planned to report back to China when he returned.
Chen Geng reminded Mr. Peng to attach importance to *** and ***'s instructions, and suggested that he return to China as soon as possible. After listening to the suggestion, Mr. Peng decided to set off for home. After consultation, it was a benign tumor, and after the successful operation, Mr. Peng stayed in China to take charge of the daily work of the Military Commission.
Chen Geng and Deng Hua were both generals who participated in the war with illness. Chen Geng's heart problems were very serious, and he returned to China two months later**, and Deng Hua was appointed acting commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army.
