Introduction: General Chen Xilian is a very outstanding general in our army, he joined the Red Army at the age of fourteen and began to follow the army in the revolution. After joining the revolution, he bravely moved forward without fear of sacrifice, established a remarkable record, and was successively appointed as a political commissar, division commander and other important positions.
During the Red Army period, General Chen captured the gold bricks, and then he used a few pieces of gold to cushion the foot of the bed, and the rest was thrown to the latrine. Why would General Chen do this? Let's take a look at it today.
1. Seizure of gold bricks
In July 1933, the Red Fourth Army successfully defeated the Sichuan Army with excellent combat ability. After that, the number of the Red Army expanded rapidly, and for the development of the army, the divisions under the jurisdiction of the Red Fourth Army were reorganized into the army, and the guerrillas were also reorganized into the army. In this way, the Red Fourth Army had a total of five armies.
In October 1933, the Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang was appointed commander-in-chief of the bandits. In order to expand his power, Liu Xiang, together with other warlords, launched an attack on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Su region. At that time, in order to fight better, the Sichuan warlord Liu Cunhou was appointed commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army.
But unexpectedly, under the fierce attack of the Red Army, the team led by Liu Cunhou was quickly defeated. His base area was also quickly occupied by the Red Army. Liu Cunhou's military career, which had been lost to both territory and warriors, ended in this way, and then he began a life of seclusion in order to survive.
General Chen Xilian was serving as a political commissar in the 263rd Regiment of the Red 30th Army. At that time, he participated with the clan in the battle of the attack on Da County. Liu Cunhou stayed in this place for a long time, and he was very anxious when he escaped, and he did not take anything with him, leaving a huge supply.
There were arsenals, mints, and so on, which greatly solved the needs of the Red Army. The soldiers of the 263rd Regiment had captured a lot of supplies at that time, and seeing so many supplies, General Chen ordered that all the things be handed over. In addition to these, there were some yellow gold bricks, which everyone thought were worthless things, and all of them were thrown into the latrine. Just at that time, General Chen took two pieces of pad bed feet when the foot of the bed was uneven.
When the troops were resting, the director of the Logistics Department came to General Chen's bedroom to visit him. When he saw the gold bricks at the foot of General Chen's bed, Director Zheng was shocked and asked Why such a valuable item was not handed over to the organization and used it privately.
Hearing this, General Chen was confused and did not know what Director Zheng meant when he said this. After that, Director Zheng emphasized the gold again, and after hearing these two words, General Chen hurriedly summoned the soldiers, and after some effort, successfully retrieved the thrown gold bricks. Director Zheng saw the gold bricks fished out of the toilet and cried and laughed, only then did he know that he had misunderstood General Chen.
At that time, after hearing this news, the political commissar also rushed over at the first time, and when he saw so many gold bricks, he was also surprised. The soldiers of the Red Army joined the army during the most difficult times, and not many people knew gold, so they felt that silver was the most valuable item, and they had no idea that gold was so valuable.
Director Zheng knew Jin Because in 1930 he went to Shanghai to participate in secret activities as the manager of Yizhai Qianzhuang. He had seen gold when he was at the event, so he recognized it at a glance.
Director Zheng Yizhai was appointed as the head of the Supply Department of the Red Fourth Army in June 1936 for his outstanding combat achievements. On March 14, 1937, he was surrounded by enemy troops during the battle, and in order to allow the warriors to successfully escape with gold and silver dollars, he stayed behind as cover, and finally died at the age of thirty-six.
At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Chen Xilian was appointed as the commander of the 769th Regiment with outstanding achievements. After that, he led the soldiers to participate in the Battle of Yangmingbao, and successfully destroyed twenty-four Japanese aircraft with excellent command ability, making great contributions to the victory of the war.
During the Liberation War, General Chen made outstanding military achievements by virtue of his outstanding combat ability, and became the most effective cadre general of Liu and Deng. In 1955, General Chen was awarded the rank of general and was awarded other important medals such as the Order of August 1st of the First Class.
Summary: General Chen is a very outstanding leader, who is not afraid of sacrifice when fighting, always rushes to the forefront of the battle, and makes important contributions to the victory of the war. No matter how time passes, we should always remember the contributions made by these generals.
