In the Caidian District of Wuhan, not far from the hometown, there is a highest mountain in the local area called Jiuzhen Mountain, where the pine cypress, the spring creek is watering, at the foot of the mountain covered by green trees, there is a place called Daijiazhuang in Changxing Village, Changxing Village, The village's spacious cement pavement leads directly to the middle of the village, the road is lined with three-story small bungalows, into the depths of the village, but there is a building that is incompatible with the surrounding buildings, a small bungalow that still retains the traditional brick and tile structure, the house has a patio, and the four walls are wooden plank drum skins, which is a typical Hanyang residence. On the lintel of the house, several vigorous and powerful fonts "Chen Changhao's Former Residence" are written.
Chen Changhao, formerly known as Chen Haiquan, was born in Daijiazhuang, Yong'anBao, Hanyang County (now part of Changxin Village, Yishan Street, Caidian District, Wuhan). In the former residence, there is an introduction to the life of Chen Changhao, his father is called Chen Rongfa, the character Chun Ting, is a manager of the Hankou Commercial Bank, and his mother is called Wu Rong, who runs housework at home. The husband and wife have a total of four children, two boys and two women, Chen Changhao is the eldest, he also has a younger brother named Chen Jun, also known as Chen Changli, more than ten years younger than his brother.
Because of his family's relatively good fortune, as the eldest son, Chen Changhao entered a private school for education from an early age, and later was admitted to the affiliated middle school of Wuchang Private Zhonghua University with excellent results, and then admitted to the private Wuchang Zhonghua University (now Central China Normal University), during his college years, he met some revolutionary comrades, participated in revolutionary work, and became a member of the league, and was organized to study in the Soviet Union, becoming a popular "twenty-eight and a half Bolsheviks" at that time.
Chen Changhao, who was only 25 years old at the time, was brave and resolute, managed the army strictly, and with outstanding military leadership skills, he quickly stood out in the ranks of the Red Army.
At that time, Chen Changhao, as the general political commissar of the front army, also did one of the most cattle things: that is, when the Red Army attacked Huang'anCheng, the enemy confronted the Red Army with strong fortifications, and the enemy in Huang'an defended to the point of demolishing civilian houses for firewood and killing rats and cats as rations. Three big red letters.
It turned out that this plane was a biplane German Junker senior trainer aircraft of the Kuomintang Air Force stationed in Wuhan, which was forced to land in Chenjiahe Village, Luoshan County, Henan Province, due to fuel exhaustion during a flight training, and was captured by our Red Guards. The driver, Long Wenguang, a native of Jintang County, Sichuan Province, expressed his willingness to serve the Red Army after education. In order to pay tribute to Lenin, the Soviet government named the plane "Lenin", and the plane circled over Huang'an City. The enemy could not have dreamed that the Red Army would also have planes, and they ran out of the fortifications one after another, waving at the planes, waiting for the airdrop of food and ammunition supplies, who knew that what hit their heads was one after another smoking grenades. With a loud explosion, the smoke rose with the mud, and more than a dozen enemy soldiers were killed on the spot. The enemy woke up like a dream, in chaos.
This incident shocked the entire Red Fourth Front, and everyone gave a thumbs up to this polite general political commissar in his twenties. Until more than 50 years later, Xu Shuai mentioned this matter, still full of praise, saying that he was brave and strategic, bold and careful, and a generation of warriors.
During chen Changhao's reign in charge of the Red Fourth Front, his strength continued to grow, and he developed into the most powerful local armed force of the Red Army, keeping pace with the Central Red Army, and after the Red Army entered the Northern Sichuan Soviet Region, he was even more of a great general with eight might, entering and leaving the city, he always took the lead, wearing a captured Sichuan Army general's outer black and inner red cloak, with the bumps of the mount undulating with the wind, like a healthy eagle. He was followed by a large group of fierce guards, all riding high-headed horses and carrying 20 box cannons. Red stars twinkled overhead, and horseshoes burst into drums on the cement street, attracting many people to chase and watch. He participated in the struggle to create a revolutionary base area in Sichuan and Shaanxi, as well as in successive anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations and the Long March.
In November 1936, the superiors decided to form the Red Army's Western Route Army, cross the Yellow River in the west, open up the road with Xinjiang, appoint Chen Changhao as the general political commissar of the Red Fourth Front, the chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Western Route Army, and lead the troops to cross the Yellow River in the west.
Chen Changhao, a young commander of the Red Army who had commanded thousands of troops and horses to gallop on the battlefield and made great achievements in battle, was trapped in a small village in the northwest wasteland in Hubei Province, but fu sanjia, and was infected with disease, and in the face of the torture of disease, Chen Changhao changed his idea of returning directly to the central authorities. He took out half of the silver dollar on his body and gave it to the 3 guards, telling them to run their own things, and gave Dan Fusan 10 pieces of ocean. However, although Fu San was a country man, he was also a man with a heroic liver and courage, and when he saw that Chen Changhao's illness had not healed and insisted on leaving, he proposed to be escorted back to his hometown. Chen Changhao buried the gun, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary person given to him by Dan Fusan, pretended to be dumb, and went through countless hardships along the way, and finally returned to the new village of the old parent who had been away for nearly ten years.
It was this defeat that returned to his hometown, he saw his younger brother Chen Jun, who had grown up, and in May 1937 he took him to Yan'an, Chen Jun first entered the Kang Da to study, after graduation joined the Eighth Route Army, successively served as battalion commander, regiment chief of staff, military sub-district chief of staff and regimental commander, during the Liberation War, the establishment of the Western Henan Military and Political Cadre School to study, in the school's academic affairs office as the provost, education chief, vice principal, principal, deputy director and other positions, mainly training Cadres across the River.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Jun served as deputy chief of staff of the Henan Military Region, awarded the rank of colonel, and later enjoyed the treatment of deputy military post until his death in February 2007 at the people's liberation army general hospital, at the age of 90.
After the defeat of the Western Route Army, with the approval of the organization, Chen Changhao went to the Soviet Union for medical treatment, and since then he has been silent, returned to China after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and served as deputy director of the Central Compilation Bureau and other positions, the same level as his brother Chen Jun.
The two brothers joined the revolutionary contingent together, the elder brother Chen Changhao had a rough life, his fate was uncertain, his position was high and low, but he was always bold and loyal to the revolutionary cause, frank and honest, unswerving, and after his death, he had a high evaluation, and on the streets of his hometown of Fushan, there stood a statue of Chen Changhao, who was dressed in military uniform and silently stared at the busy people in his hometown. The Si people have passed away, the monument is eternal, no matter the spring flowers and autumn moon, the drizzle and the sun. History has not forgotten chen Changhao's contributions to the party and the revolution. Success or failure is left to future generations to comment.
