History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in our society that there are no dogs, and it can be seen that the influence of parents' family education on a child is also very huge. Once, in Chinese society, there was such a founding lieutenant general, he was twice awarded the title by the state, and under his education and influence, his family also produced a total of six generals. For the construction and development of Our military cause, the contribution made by this family is also very great. So, behind the founding lieutenant general, what is the story? How did he develop such a good next generation?
The founding lieutenant general was Zhang Zhen, born in 1914. When Zhang Zhen was twelve, he participated in the labor boy group and participated in the local revolutionary cause, and at the age of fourteen, he also became a member of the Young Pioneers. In 1930, at the age of sixteen, Zhang Zhen first joined the Chinese Communist Youth League, and later became a soldier of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Because zhang Zhen had a relatively good performance in the war, he became a glorious member of the Chinese Communist Party soon after joining the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
In the anti-encirclement and suppression operation, Zhang Zhen was wounded twice, but even so, he always insisted on fighting on the front line of the battlefield, it can be said that under the circumstances at that time, Zhang Zhen was able to have such a choice, which made many people feel admired.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhang Zhen also served as the chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army and the chief of the General Affairs Office. In the course of his work, Zhang Zhen always carried out the propaganda work of the anti-Japanese national united front with a positive attitude, and if it had not been for his efforts, the anti-Japanese work in the grass-roots areas would not have been carried out so smoothly. In 1938, Zhang Zhen participated in the guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army and served as the chief of staff, and later, as the New Fourth Army advanced behind enemy lines in eastern Henan, Zhang Zhen also began to cooperate with the frontal battlefield and led his soldiers to carry out guerrilla work. At that time, although his official position was relatively high, he always fought on the front line of the battlefield, and even if he was seriously injured in the leg, he never left the front-line battlefield.
In later days, Zhang Zhen and other leaders also led the soldiers to defeat the Japanese army in a big way, and at that time, under the leadership of Zhang Zhen, the enemy rear troops in East China also set a precedent for laying Down Japanese fighters.
After the Liberation War broke out, Zhang Zhen also participated in important battles such as Lianghuai and Subei, and it can be said that under his efforts, the Lunan Campaign also laid the foundation for victory. In the subsequent Huaihai Campaign, Zhang Zhen also occupied an important command position, and it can be said that without his presence, the expansion of the scale in the later stages of the Huaihai Campaign would be difficult to carry out. After the founding of New China, Zhang Zhen also participated in the military war to liberate Taiwan and various places along the southeast coast, which shows that Zhang Zhen's status in the troops of our army is also relatively high.
With the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Zhang Zhen once again came to the front-line battlefield, at that time, in the summer counterattack and the Jincheng offensive campaign, Zhang Zhen led his soldiers to achieve overwhelming victories, and in the process of later liberating the islands on the east coast of Zhejiang, it was precisely because of his suggestions that the islands could be fully liberated. After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Zhang Zhen returned to China and entered the Nanjing Military Academy for further study, and after graduating from here, he also became the vice president of the Nanjing Military Academy. In the later teaching process, Zhang Zhen also used his own personal combat experience to pass on more accurate strategic knowledge to students, and it can be said that under his efforts, a number of outstanding cadres have emerged in China's army.
In the 1955 award ceremony, Zhang Zhen was awarded the rank of lieutenant general for the merits he made before, and based on his contribution to the development of China's army after the founding of New China, therefore, in the second award in 1988, Zhang Zhen was also awarded the rank of general. In 1998, Zhang Zhen formally withdrew from the military leadership post, although at this time, he no longer had the actual military position, but he was still concerned about the development and progress of China's military cause.
Under his influence, Zhang Zhen's four sons also all made great contributions to the neutrality of the army, not only that, but in the subsequent rank evaluation process, his four sons also became generals. Among them, Zhang Zhen's third son, Zhang Haiyang, also became a general like his father by virtue of his own efforts. It can be said that in the process of China's army building, such a general father and son also appeared for the first time, in addition, under the joint influence of his father and brothers, Zhang Zhen's daughter also formed a family with outstanding soldiers in the army, and her husband was also a major general. At this point, Zhang Zhen's entire family also has six generals, and if you look at the military development process of our society, you will find that in the whole Of China, Zhang Zhen's family can also be regarded as the most successful military family.
In 2015, Zhang Zhen, who was already 101 years old, also passed away due to illness, and it can be said that Zhang Zhen's entire life was dedicated to China's army building, if there is no existence, then China's national defense army construction and national defense education will not be so successful.
epilogue
Through the analysis of Zhang Zhen's life, we can feel that in China's modern society, the existence of many outstanding soldiers is crucial, after all, the development of a country is inseparable from the contribution of the people, and in the war years, if there is no effort of these heroic soldiers, then our country will also become the target of aggression and attack by other countries.
Under the guidance of Zhang Zhen, his children have also become outstanding talents in the motherland, which shows that the power of example is enormous. In the future development of China, we should also set an example in our hearts that we want to learn, so that under the guidance of the excellent spirit, our personal development will also usher in a new peak.
For new China, although we have been far away from the threat of war, but the cause of army building can not be ignored, and Zhang Zhen's various deeds can also become the object and goal of our study, in the future process of army building, we should also take such heroes as the direction of progress, through their guidance and drive, I believe that more soldiers will realize that dedication to the country is a very glorious thing. Although Zhang Zhen has passed away, his contributions to our country will always exist in the hearts of the people.
