Wang Jinshan made a comeback, and the old subordinates did not dare to pick up, and You Taizhong scolded: I will go by myself! The last 3 generals took over
As we all know, the comeback of General Wang Jinshan played a great role in Xu Shiyou, but what is unknown is that General Wang's comeback also has a mastermind behind it- General You Taizhong, who is an old subordinate of General Wang and has sincere feelings for General Wang.
You Tai is loyal to the old leader Wang Jinshan, plotting how to help him make a comeback
General Wang made an indelible contribution to the army during the war years, and this contribution is incomparable, but it is such a famous military general that after he was punished, many people also ignored him.
At that time, if you ask some people who are okay with General Wang, they usually have two "answer modes": one is hesitant to talk about General Wang's situation; The other is that they are very much in recognition of General Wang's combat effectiveness, saying that some General Wang is very powerful in the battlefield, but in the end they all end in a twist, and then they will feel very sad.
On the other hand, the relationship between Mr. You and General Wang is also unparalleled, and Mr. You does not like to participate in various activities or interviews every day, but when it comes to things related to General Wang, he will immediately have a spirit. Since the topics related to General Wang have been sensitive recently, there are not many similar things.
General Wang and Mr. You fought together in the base areas of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, Sichuan and Shaanxi as early as the period of the agrarian revolutionary war, so during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army fought together against the Japanese and resisted humiliation. During the Liberation War, General Wang contributed to the war many times, and his status rose rapidly, and Mr. You and they had been working under General Wang.
They have great respect for General Wang's command ability, of course, they are not only superior and subordinate relations, they are more comrades-in-arms, brothers, people who can trust each other.
They believed that the old leader was experienced in the struggle and invincible in the war, but in peacetime he fell badly. At that time, General Wang did not accept the advice of his superiors and colleagues, and resolutely decided to divorce his wife, and later married a little nanny who was more than 10 years younger. The soldiers tried to persuade him, but he did not listen, but felt very impatient.
But at his insistence, he finally reached his will, but also because of this incident, he paid a terrible price, his post was removed, and demoted to the rank of deputy military officer, even the rank was demoted to the rank of colonel, a general was sent to the farm as a deputy director, for five years, almost no one heard of him, no one mentioned him, but there are still a small number of people looking forward to his return to the army.
Even though Mr. You was only a commander, his consciousness was keen. He had been looking for the machine general General Wang to "liberate" from the farm. At the April 1969 congress, he thought it was a good opportunity, so he said it subtly when he walked with Xu Shiyou.
In the course of the conversation, the topic was indirectly shifted to General Wang, and Mr. You said: "General Wang has handled this problem too much, how can an old Red Army go and lead the farm?" This word reached Xu Shiyou's heart, General Wang and Xu Shiyou's personalities are very similar, and the peasants in the battlefield are also very heroic, and Xu Shiyou understands General Wang's mood at this moment. In the eyes of the general, he would rather die in battle than stay in the local area.
Xu Shiyou put his hands around his waist and said, "Then let him come back!" ”
After Mr. You listened, he felt that this was too similar to Xu Shiyou's style, and said that if General Wang returned, he must get the approval of the central government.
Xu Shiyou nodded and said, "Do you have any good ideas?" Mr. You said, "You can't do anything with a big commander, what can I do?"
Xu Shiyou stopped and said, "Since you have said so, can you have no way?" You can't, and I can't. ”
At this time, Mr. You happily said to Xu Shiyou, and Xu Shiyou was trembling in his heart when he saw it, saying: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." Mr. You grabbed Xu Shiyou's arm and said, "Commander Xu, aren't we going to the battlefield?" What is most lacking in the battlefield? ”
Xu Shiyou suddenly realized that Mr. You had intended to say it in front of him, but he also sincerely hoped that General Wang would return.
Therefore, at the Ninth National Congress, Xu Shiyou said to Chairman Mao: "Now that everything is ready, the general Wang who was punished is quite capable, and whether the punishment for him is a little too heavy, can we give him a chance to come out and take the small soldiers?"
Chairman Mao seemed to be in a good mood and agreed to Xu Shiyou's request. And asked which military district needed them. Such a good general, he did not want to give to others, directly said he wanted!
Wang Jinshan returned to the troops, and the old subordinates greeted him late at night
One morning, General Wang returned to Beijing, unaware of this. It wasn't until he went to Nanjing for a meeting and met the bureau chief that he realized that it was Xu Shiyou who had won the opportunity to return to the army for himself.
After listening, Mr. You was very excited, and the old leader who had been missing had finally returned to the army, they had been separated for many years, and some friendship had become more sincere and pure with the passage of time.
The excitement in his heart was difficult to hide, and Mr. You trotted to the phone, called several of General Wang's old subordinates, announced the good news, and went to the station to pick him up together.
To his surprise, not everyone was happy with him, and although they did not directly express their attitude, it could be seen from their words that they were not very happy for General Wang to return.
In his eyes, the old leader has an accident, as an old subordinate, you should do your best to help him get through the difficulties.
But now let's not talk about helping, at least the old leader is back, should go to welcome it!
In the end, only he, Wu Shihong and Xiao Yongyin waited at the station, until in the middle of the night, a couple wearing old military uniforms appeared with a child and fruit, and Mr. You's eyes were moist.
General Wang's eyes were also moist, and unexpectedly some of his old subordinates actually remembered him and picked him up at the station in the middle of the night.
