As the saying goes: "Bitter is not bitter, think of the Red Army twenty-five thousand." Indeed, the Red Army's twenty-five-thousand-mile long march is the most difficult journey in human history, and it is a great test for the soldiers of the Red Army, both physically and mentally.
However, no matter how difficult it is, there are also many interesting stories in the Long March of the Red Army, such as Huang Kecheng and Wang Ping.
In November 1934, the Red Army troops passed through Chenxian County, Hunan Province, it was autumn, the south was raining continuously, there was no asphalt road like now, all were yellow dirt roads, and the better ones were mixed with some stones and sand.
Everyone knows that General Huang Kecheng's myopia is very serious, especially at night, his eyesight is even more degraded, and the guards have to lead him with wooden sticks.
At that time, Huang Kecheng was marching with Wang Ping's regiment, Wang Ping was not old, had a lively personality, loved to be funny, and brought a lot of happiness to everyone on the Long March Road, and Huang Kecheng also liked him.
One night, Wang Ping looked at the guards holding Huang Kecheng, so he went up to the guards and said, "You have worked hard all the way, this big night is not good, I will take a section, you first rest!" ”
The guard knew Wang Ping very well, and without thinking much about it, he handed wang ping the end of the stick.
At first, he walked well, but after a while, Wang Ping found a very interesting phenomenon - what he did, and Huang Kecheng behind him also followed him to do what action, because Huang Kecheng could not see the road, and could only follow Wang Ping's action.
At this time, Wang Ping's playful heart got up, walked for a while, stopped pretending that there was a ditch in front of him, and jumped hard, and as a result, Huang Kecheng behind him also jumped hard with him.
Once or twice, Huang Kecheng really thought that there was a ditch in front of him, but the number of times, Huang Kecheng noticed it, and the feeling that this boy was teasing him! When Wang Ping jumped next time, Huang Kecheng jerked the stick over and slapped Wang Ping's ass, laughing and scolding while hitting: "You're a troublemaker, and you still tricked me, watch the beating!" ”
Wang Ping saw that the matter had been exposed and quickly ran away, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Since then, every time he saw Wang Ping, Huang Kecheng jokingly called him a "troublemaker", which was still the case until the age of gu rare, and it also became a good story in the military.
Huang Kecheng had very deep seniority in our army and had always been Wang Ping's superior, but during the Long March, Huang Kecheng was demoted to Wang Ping's subordinate due to line problems. However, Wang Ping still had great respect for Huang Kecheng, and always went to consult with him when he encountered problems, so that Huang Kecheng often said to Wang Ping: "Wang Ping, now I am your subordinate, don't be afraid, just give bold orders!" ”
General Huang Kecheng was not only deeply myopic, but also in poor health, and Wang Ping could not bear his suffering, so he gave up the white horse assigned to him to Huang Kecheng to ride. Huang Kecheng refused to accept it, on the one hand, there were few horses, and if he rode it, Wang Ping would have to walk, on the other hand, he was now demoted and did not want to involve Wang Ping.
Wang Ping was also stubborn and insisted on letting him ride, and Huang Kecheng had to accept it. However, within a few days, Huang Kecheng returned the white horse to Wang Ping, saying that he was dizzy on horseback riding and said that he would not ride anymore.
Seeing that Huang Ke was honest and unwilling to accept it, Wang Ping had to lead the white horse back, but in the daily march, he cared for Huang Kecheng everywhere. It can be said that without Wang Ping's care, whether Huang Kecheng can walk down the Long March is a problem.
After Huang Kecheng's death in 1986, Wang Ping cried tears and wrote: "We know each other very well, have a good relationship, he has always cared for me like a brother, loved me, supported me, and helped me." Whenever I recall the past, Huang Lao's kind and resolute face appears in front of me, making me think a lot and excited. ”
This kind of deep camaraderie may be difficult for people today to understand.
