The Red Army once had such a unit, which had participated in more than two hundred battles, large and small, and in many years of conquest on the battlefield, it could not be said that it had never been defeated, but it was a real and always victorious division.
In 1935, when the Zunyi Conference was held, the commander of the Red First Army, General Manager Lin, attended the Zunyi Conference, after which he led the Red First Army to northern Shaanxi and won the victory of the Long March. After the Long March, Mr. Lin entered the Red University and took up the position of principal, and the commander of the Red First Army was succeeded by Chen Guang. However, what is strange is that Chen Guang, who was in charge of the Red First Army, disappeared after the war ended and all the dust settled, and there was no name for him among the founding generals of New China.
Chen Guang had always longed to join the army when he was a teenager, so when the footsteps of the Northern Expedition army came to his hometown, he used his status as a member of the peasant association at that time to secretly hide some guns, and later when the East Window Incident occurred, he was rounded up and naturally joined the party. The Nanchang Uprising and the Shonan Rebellion pushed Chen Guang more and more onto the road of revolution, and Chen Guang soon became a heroic soldier on the revolutionary front, who was not only the right and left arm of Mr. Zhu, but also the savior of Mr. Lin.
Chen Guang never interacted with outsiders in the middle of the Red Army's Long March, but his colleagues and his subordinates all saw it in their eyes, and even if Chen Guang was injured, he did not affect the progress of the troops. Especially after the Zunyi Conference, Chen Guang's Red Second Division saved the Red Army several times, including the capture of Luding Bridge and the heavenly descent of the Lazikou Divine Soldiers, which were the masterpieces of the Red Second Division, and as the commander of the Red Second Division, Chen Guang was indispensable. After the victory of the Red Army, Chen Guang served as the commander of the Red First Army, which showed his excellence.
In the course of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Guang served as the commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and his performance can also be called leading the way, being bold and courageous, and fiercely frustrate the Japanese army in many major battles; it is said that every time the Japanese army heard Chen Guang's name, it was like a great enemy, and specially ordered people to record Chen Guang's tactics every time, trying to study Chen Guang's weaknesses from it, so that the troops could have a good chance of winning against Chen Guang in the future. During the Liberation War, Chen Guang even served as the deputy chief of staff of Siye and other positions, fighting all the way from the northeast to the south, making great achievements for the founding of New China.
However, it was such a brave revolutionary comrade who disappeared after the founding of New China. Originally, after the founding of New China, Chen Guang served as the commander of the Guangzhou Garrison District and the deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, and this burden was not light, because Guangzhou was a prosperous place with a relatively wide area of transportation links, which had a major impact on the country's economy, and Chen Guang was more subjective when working in Guangzhou, so it had a certain impact on the local economic development.
In July 1950, Chen Guang was placed under house arrest, then transferred to Wuhan, where he remained under house arrest and expelled from the party. In 1954, Chen Guang chose to commit suicide, ending his life, and a famous general who made great achievements in the revolutionary period left the world. Chen Guang's two children later changed their mother's surname and disappeared from the public eye ever since.
Because he died before the award of the title, Chen Guang, who had made great achievements in battle, did not have any military rank, until 1988, when the organization re-examined the Chen Guang incident, it was found that he had been wronged that year, and Chen Guang was also restored to his reputation and party membership, but unfortunately, he had died for 34 years at this time.
