Chen Guang, acting commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, was very strong militarily and had a strong personality, and was known for his violent temper. He threw a temper tantrum, and no one dared to persuade him, including Luo Ronghuan, Li Yu, and Xiao Hua, who were helpless against him.
However, there was one exception, and when he saw him angry and said a few words, he did not say a word. Therefore, when Chen Guang was in a bad mood, Luo Ronghuan and Xiao Hua would let her go and see.
Who is this person?
She is Wang Xinlan, the wife of Xiao Hua, the director of the Political Department.
Wang Xinlan, the youngest female Red Army soldier during the Long March, was only 11 years old.
During the Battle of Liangshan during the War of Resistance, Yang Yong captured several cannons of the devils, and Chen Guang was very happy when he learned of it, and ordered Yang Yong to hide them well and not to lose them. Yang Yong dismantled the cannon and stood firm in his hometown. After the Battle of Liangshan, the 115th Division withdrew from its garrison and moved to the Weishan Lake area, where the devils came back and snatched the cannons away. For this reason, Chen Guang lost his temper and threw things in the room while yelling and shouting, shouting that Yang Yong must be strictly punished.
Luo Ronghuan heard Chen Guang throwing things and cursing people, and said to Wang Xinlan, "Go and see it." ”
Wang Xinlan did not hesitate: "I will try." ”
When she came to Chen Guang's residence, before she entered the room, she felt the smell of gunpowder, first hearing his shouts, and then hearing the sound of something falling to the ground. She knocked on the door.
Chen Guang was still angry and asked, "Who?"
"It's me, Commander."
There was no sound in the room.
After a moment of silence, Chen Guang shouted, "Come in!"
Wang Xinlan entered the room, Chen Guang's face was iron blue, his eyes were red, he looked at her, pointed to a chair with his eyes, and said, "Sit down." ”
After Wang Xinlan sat down, Chen Guang asked, "Who made you come?"
"I'll do it myself."
"What are you here for?"
"I feel bad when I hear you yell."
"I roared, what are you upset about?"
"It's just uncomfortable, seeing you lose your temper, your heart is uncomfortable, and you want to cry."
Chen Guang glanced at Wang Xinlan, suppressed the fire, and waved his hand at the service soldiers: "Pour water." ”
Wang Xinlan looked at the messy ground and said, "Master Chen, don't get angry anymore." ”
Chen Guang reluctantly "um" a sound, turned back to the service soldiers and said, "Packed up." ”
The attendant quickly packed up his things on the ground and ran away in relief.
A storm has passed.
After Wang Xinlan returned from Chen Guang, Luo Ronghuan smiled and said, "There is still a way for Wang Xinlan to deal with Master Chen. ”
Wang Xinlan said, "I'm really worried about scolding me." ”
Luo Ronghuan said, "No, he won't be angry with a little girl." ”
This is the fierce general Chen Guang.
In the 1950s, Xiao Hua and Wang Xinlan learned of Chen Guang's death and did not speak for a day.
The book "War Generals: Documentary of the Legendary Generals of the Chinese People's Liberation Army" published by the Communist Party History Publishing House describes Chen Guang's wonderful life and his tragic character, which is the first place in the list of Chinese military books.
