In the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against France and Aid to Vietnam, in September 1950, General Tan Gung assisted the Vietnamese army, commanded the border campaign, and annihilated more than 8,000 French troops. When the struggle to resist France and aid Vietnam was in full swing, a telegram from his superiors was issued, saying that there was an important task to be handed over to General Chen Geng.
General Chen Geng secretly returned to China, took a train from Nanning to Beijing. After arriving in Beijing, General Chen Geng learned that he was going to be transferred to North Korea. Moreover, it was the old superior, Mr. Peng, who personally requested it from the superior. During the Red Army period and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Chen Geng once saved Mr. Peng and fought under Mr. Peng.
Especially during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Mr. Peng served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and General Chen Geng served as the brigade commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division. Under the command of General Peng, General Chen Geng won the Battle of Niangziguan, the Ambush of Changshengkou, and the Battle of Xiangchenggu. Under the mediation of General Chen Geng, Mr. Peng married his wife Pu Anxiu and wrote a good story of a talented and beautiful person.
For General Chen Geng, this fierce general with both wisdom and courage, Mr. Peng is very important. After the fifth campaign, our army confronted the so-called "United Nations Army" in the "38th Line" area. Our army adopted tunnel warfare to offset the equipment superiority of the US army, while General Chen Geng was good at commanding defensive operations.
In June 1951, General Chen Geng entered Korea to command operations as the commander of the Third Corps as the political commissar and the second deputy commander of the People's Volunteer Army. After General Chen Geng came to the front line, he relied on the advantage of the tunnel to carry out a local counterattack and let the US army return to the negotiating table.
In March 1952, General Chen Geng returned to China and was immediately sent to the Korean front. This time, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, that is, to succeed Mr. Peng and preside over the work of Zhisi. Mr. Peng was already fifty-four years old at this time, and had been in the cold, damp mine for a long time, commanding the battle.
In such an environment, Mr. Peng's body really couldn't eat it, and in August 1951, a small tumor grew on his forehead. In 1952, the U.S. military launched a germ warfare, throwing rats, fleas and other pests on the positions of the Chinese and North Korean armies. The environment in the rear is even worse, and Mr. Peng's tumor is getting more and more painful.
There is no good medical environment on the front line, there is no X-ray, and it is impossible to know the condition of Mr. Peng's tumor. Many comrades persuaded Mr. Peng to return to China, but he did not agree. Later, the epidemic prevention brigade was sent to china to curb the spread of the epidemic. The superiors issued orders, and the subordinates persuaded them, and Mr. Peng only said "it doesn't matter" and insisted on staying on the front line.
In March 1952, after General Chen Geng came to the front line, he took the instructions of his superiors and must persuade Mr. Peng to return to China. After General Chen Geng came to the headquarters, he joined the deputy commander of Song Shilun the next day to persuade Peng Laozong to return to China for recuperation, and said that he would definitely be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Mr. Peng was still worried about the war on the front line and thought that it was necessary to hold talks with the comrades on the Korean side. This delay will be delayed until May, and the condition will not wait for anyone! Mr. Peng, a veteran commander who has been fighting for the country for decades, cannot fall ill on the Korean front because of a tumor.
In the end, in the form of an order, the superior urged Mr. Peng to return to China to recuperate, and let General Chen Geng succeed Mr. Peng and preside over the work of Zhisi. On April 7, 1952, Mr. Peng left the front line where he had been fighting for a year and a half, entrusted the command affairs to General Chen Geng and returned to China to recuperate.
On the way back to China, looking at the houses that were blown up by the invaders, and everywhere the Korean people who had lost their loved ones, Mr. Peng spoke for a long time. Since his youth, President Peng has set up the ideal of saving the country and the people, and now that he sees that the Korean people are living in deep trouble under the iron hooves of the invaders, how can President Peng not be heartbroken?
After Mr. Peng returned to China, in order to keep it a secret, he was admitted to Beijing Hospital in the name of "President Wang of Agricultural University". After the doctor's diagnosis, fortunately, it was a benign tumor, and after surgery, he was discharged from the hospital in May. Mr. Peng hoped to return to the front line and continue to command the battle, but the superiors decided to leave Mr. Peng behind.
In June 1952, after the Korean War situation stabilized, General Chen Geng was ordered to return to China and began to preside over the work of the Military Engineering College, continuing to contribute to the cause of National Defense in China. On June 19, 1953, Mr. Peng returned to the front line again and prepared to sign an armistice.
The heroic People's Volunteers, with their weak equipment, defeated the so-called "United Nations Army" armed to the teeth and poured out their arrogance. In the Great War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, one punch was thrown, so as not to bring a hundred punches. The "war to build a nation" to resist US aggression and aid Korea shattered the dreams of foreign powers and inspired the determination of the Chinese people to resist foreign enemies.
