Zhong Wei was dissatisfied with the rank and said that he would hang the medal on the dog's tail, and the chairman was not angry and returned him the treatment of lieutenant general
Major General Zhong Wei
As soon as Zhong Wei was mentioned, the grumpy major general came to people's minds. At the 1955 ceremony, Zhong Weike, who was awarded the rank of major general, was angry.
He said bluntly that he would hang the Medal of Major General on the dog's tail. He publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the rank, and heard that he also broke his mouth at the ceremony of awarding the rank on the same day.
This Zhong Wei's temper is really bad, but Zhong Wei is an interesting man, and it is said that Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" combines his personality and deeds.
What kind of character is Li Yunlong? So who doesn't know, and who doesn't? The fiery temper, like a gas canister, blows up at one point.
Disobeying military orders was commonplace, not to mention making a big fuss about his rank at the ceremony. This Li Yunlong was carved out of a mold with Zhong Wei, who disobeyed three military orders and his temper was also very hot.
But although his temper was unusually hot, this Zhong Wei was a good boy with justice and straightforwardness, known as China's "General Patton", and Mr. Peng still chanted Zhong Wei's name in his mouth until his death.

In 1911, Zhong Wei was born in Pingjiang, Hunan, and said that Hunan girls were spicy, and this man was also extremely spicy. From a young age, Zhong Wei was a violent temper, looking at a quiet young man, but like a live cannon battle.
Although Zhong Wei is short-tempered, he is not a rude villager. Zhong Wei studied in the township for a while, and after studying for several years, Zhong Wei participated in revolutionary activities in 1928.
In 1930, Zhong Wei joined the Communist Party, and then joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, following the leadership of the Party to participate in revolutionary activities.
After joining the Red Army, Zhong Wei was assigned to Peng Dehuai's Red Army, and in Peng Dehuai's army, Zhong Wei served as a political worker and propaganda worker.
Zhong Wei was a cultural man, and although he was young, he was excellent in this unit. He wasn't tall, but his mouth was sharp. In all propaganda work, he always did a better job than other troops.
Peng Dehuai
This can be said to be able to speak but Zhong Wei's skill, although people are grumpy, but people's mouths can be words and words. Will write and will also say, seeing that this little doll's propaganda work is so good, Peng Dehuai personally praised him.
This Zhong Wei left home at a young age, and when he arrived at this team, he was often taken care of by the people around him. Mr. Peng is also a person who likes to take care of his descendants, and Zhong Wei has a bad temper, but he knows best who is good to him.
Some people say that people with bad tempers are the most affectionate and righteous, and this statement is not false at all when placed on Zhong Wei. Mr. Peng's kindness to Zhong Wei, Zhong Wei has always remembered in his heart.
Here, Mr. Peng, Zhong Wei served as the political commissar of the company, the political commissar of the regiment, and the director of the political department of the division. The rupture of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists has always been tense, and Zhong Wei and the party organization have also participated in several anti-encirclement and suppression wars.
After the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Red Army was forced to take the road of the Long March. After the army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Zhong Wei served as the director of the political department of the 78th Division of the Red Fifteenth Army.
During the difficult Long March period, Zhong Wei never cried out in pain. In 1936, the Central Committee served as the director of the political department of the 73rd Division, and he led the troops to participate in the Eastern Expedition and the Western Expedition under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Zhong Wei also followed the Red 10 regiment guard squad led by Huang Kecheng to successfully capture Loushan Pass, which had a great impact on the Red Army's Long March.
In 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, and in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhong Wei entered the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. At the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, Zhong Wei served as the branch secretary of the high-level cadres of the Anti-Japanese University, as well as the assistant of the Fifth Brigade and the director of the Political Office of the Third Brigade.
Zhong Wei's courage is outstanding, he can write and fight, although he does not look very tall, but the condensed essence is really good.

In 1939, Zhong Wei broke into the bandit's nest alone, and after hitting the bandit's nest, Zhong Wei successfully reorganized the bandits of nearly 100 people into a powerful armed team by relying on his own skills and his mouth that could speak the tao.
Relying solely on bandits of nearly a hundred people is not enough, and Zhong Wei thought about it and rushed to carry out propaganda in various places. Soon, this armed force of nearly 100 people composed of bandits instantly turned into an anti-Japanese team of up to 3,000 people.
Anyone who looks at it has to admit that Zhong Wei's talent is really incomparable to others.
Looking at this gradually growing team, Zhong Wei thought that it was necessary to make the team stronger in order to better carry out anti-Japanese combat.
So Zhong Wei relied on his temper and the motivation that no one accepted to lose, and as soon as he could encounter the opportunity to rob the Japanese army of materials, he immediately led the team to charge into the battlefield.
Zhong Wei, who practices calligraphy
They took back all the weapons of the Japanese army, and the enemy's ammunition became their own supplies. Although this practice was a little dangerous, Zhong Weike had never failed in this regard.
When he was strengthening his own ranks and enriching his own strength, even Zhong Wei did not expect that he would recruit troops and horses along the way to expand his own ranks, and actually rely on his own strength to open up the anti-Japanese base area in southern Henan.
Looking at the achievements around them, the leaders were naturally very happy, so it was not long before Zhong Wei served as the political commissar of the Third Regiment of the New Fourth Army.
Zhong Wei is a belligerent person, as long as there is a normal place, he will definitely leave his heroic posture. After conquering Xiao Wushan and Yingcheng, looking at these achievements, some of the bosses began to drift, and this person also began to talk about big words.
The bosses wanted to let the newly formed three regiments enter the enemy's rear to open up a new war zone, which frightened Zhong Wei. Because the identities of the personnel in the three regiments that had just been established had not yet been clearly investigated, the people in these three regiments had many enemy spies.
If they are allowed to open up a new war zone behind the enemy, then we will certainly suffer heavy losses. And even if we don't mention that the people in these three regiments are mixed with the enemy's troops, the people here are still recruits and have no combat experience at all.
If they really let them enter the battlefield, they must have been sent to death. As soon as this decision came out, Zhong Wei first stood up against it. Although Zhong Wei was the political commissar of the Third Regiment of the New Fourth Army, after all, people were light-hearted.
The superiors immediately dismissed Zhong Wei's opinion, which infuriated Zhong Wei.
Zhong Wei and comrades-in-arms (first from left)
This Zhong Wei had a bad temper, and he and his boss fell out with three words. When the boss saw Zhong Wei like this, it was really angry.
The boss directly put on the "right" tilt hat for Zhong Wei, and put the hat on Zhong Wei without saying, the boss's mouth is really unforgiving. He said that Zhong Wei's wife was a "secret agent", and that Zhong Wei's father was a "reactionary officer".
Where can Zhong Wei bear this anger, he packed up his things all night and ran away with his wife and children.

Zhong Wei's anger could not be dissipated for a moment and a half, and he and his family prepared to run to northern Jiangsu to find Chen Yi, and he wanted to appeal to Chen Yi.
Zhong Wei's personality charm is still very large, and when he left, there was a guard who followed Zhong Wei with his own things. Zhong Wei was alone with his wife, the children were fine, and there was this guard by his side to take care of him.
However, even so, Zhong Wei still suffered a lot of hardships, and the Japanese army set up many blockade lines, and if they wanted to cross these blockade lines, they had to face the preparation of facing the enemy head-on.
Dragging his family away from the army, Zhong Wei only brought a little weapon, which had no way to compare with the well-equipped enemy. After suffering all the way, Zhong Wei finally arrived in northern Jiangsu.
After meeting Chen Yi, Zhong Wei was like a child who had received candy, and he excitedly told Chen Yi about the wrong orders of the army leaders.
Zhong Wei was right, the newly established three regiments were not reliable at all. After the orders were given by their superiors, the three teams were immediately scattered as soon as they entered the enemy's new theater of operations and penetrated deep into the enemy army.
Zhong Wei, who served as a brigade commander in the northeast
These people are greedy and afraid of death, and they are not disciplined at all. And their battle plans are also chaotic, making people think that this is a wild group.
Chen Yi knew how much Zhong Wei had been wronged, so he took Zhong Wei to the front of Huang Kecheng, the commander of the Third Division. This leader was completely different from the previous leader, Huang Kecheng participated in the Northern Expedition in 1926, and led the troops to follow Zhu De and Chen Yi to Jinggangshan.
Huang Kecheng is a big man with courage and strategy, and has rich combat experience, and Zhong Wei was relieved when he saw that he followed Huang Kecheng.
Under the education and leadership of Huang Kecheng, Zhong Wei fully exerted his talents. As long as it is the decision that Zhong Wei wants to make and the strategy he proposes, Huang Kecheng will let Zhong Wei do it with confidence.
Huang Kecheng's stocking policy provides a huge stage for Zhong Wei, in which Zhong Wei can use his talents at will.
Huang Kecheng often said to Zhong Wei: 'Just do what you want, even if you poke a hole in the sky, I will not stop you.' ''
However, Zhong Wei did not make a hole in the sky, but he blew up the key high ditch of the puppet army in northern Jiangsu.
In 1942, Gaogou in the northern Jiangsu region was an important stronghold, where a group of Japanese puppet troops were stationed. This group of Japanese puppet troops was the 144th regiment of the Japanese 36th Division, and together with the security regiment of the Swiss army, it was a large team of nearly 1400 people.
Even if the number of enemies is large, the walls of this high ditch are 5 meters high. There were 8 meters wide and two meters deep trenches outside the 5-meter-high city wall, and this kind of defense was difficult for our organization.
The Battle of Gaogou has always been a relatively difficult battle, the enemy is hiding in the high ditch, and the outside is a layer of hard armor. It is simple for the enemy to beat me, but it is really difficult for me to fight the enemy.
Even if it is difficult to rush ahead, but in order to avoid the smallest casualties, everyone begins to think about how best to defeat the enemy.
Watching everyone discuss, they said that they choked the enemy with paprika, and they said that they loaded gunpowder inside the elm tree and threw it into the city wall.
Zhong Wei and comrades-in-arms (back row, first left)
Zhong Wei directly slapped the table and shouted: "What a bad idea!" Listen to me, dig the tunnels, dig them and blow them up! ''
As soon as Zhong Wei's words were spoken, people were busy praising Zhong Wei for this idea. So taking advantage of the darkness, Zhong Wei led the troops to start digging tunnels. They dug tunnels under enemy walls and buried explosives in dug tunnels.
After placing the appropriate amount of explosives, ignite the explosives from a distance. With a thud, the enemy's walls immediately collapsed. As soon as the wall collapsed, the enemy lost its protective shield. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhong Wei led the troops to rush up.
This kind of clever plan is not something that ordinary people can think of, and when other troops heard that Zhong Wei had blown up the enemy's high trench by digging tunnels and burying explosives, they immediately followed suit.
The Battle of Gaogou, which had squandered countless generals, was finally conquered in this simple way, and this Zhong Wei was really a talent.
The soldiers who have fought against Zhong Wei know that Zhong Wei is a person who fights wars with his brain. The Battle of Gaogou made Zhong Wei famous in one battle, and the later capture of Huaiyin City in northern Jiangsu also made people see Zhong Wei's Wentao's martial strategy.
In 1945, when organizing preparations to attack Huaiyin City, it suffered many setbacks. This Huaiyin City is much more difficult than Gaogou, the wall of Gaogou is more than 5 meters high, but the wall of this Huaiyin City is more than 10 meters high.
If it can be blown up by dynamite, it is not a big deal. However, this wall of more than 10 meters high, anyone who looks at it, also feels that it is impossible to blow up. The teams sent by the organization ended in failure, which made the organization sad.
At this time, the leaders thought of Zhong Wei. Zhong Wei's Battle of Gaogou fought the enemy to the ground, so there must be its own solution for this Huaiyin City.
So this attack on Huaiyin City fell on the shoulders of Zhong Wei, who was in danger and was ordered to do the first thing he did when he took over the task was to check the terrain of Huaiyin City.
Zhong Wei in his youth
The difference between Huaiyin City and Gaogou is really too big, and if you want to use the method of Gaogou to attack Huaiyin City, it is definitely impossible. This Huaiyin City not only has a high wall of more than 10 meters high, but also thorn-like obstacles and moats to block the attack.
In addition to these, there is also a circle of iron fences outside this Huaiyin City. Looking at this layer of obstacles, it is really not easy to conquer Huaiyin City.
But here in Zhong Wei, it is nothing. After Zhong Wei finished inspecting the terrain, this hand slapped his head, and a clever plan surged up.
The enemy has set up a high platform to defend, so we also set up a high platform! Zhong Wei let the soldiers learn from the enemy and also set up a high platform.
It's just that this high platform is not simply defensive, this high platform is used to attack the enemy! At the beginning of this war, the enemy was dumbfounded when he was ready to attack us, so why did the other side also set up a high platform?
Without waiting for the enemy to react, our fighters stood on the firing platform and opened fire on the enemy. Zhong Wei ordered, "Shoot at the commanders and gunners, and hit me hard!" ''In
Under the cover of the shooting platform, the warriors held up their guns and aimed them straight at the enemy's head. The commanders and machine gunners fell to the ground in response, which confused the enemy.
''Attack me!'' Zhong Wei commanded the battery group to attack the high wall of Huaiyin City. Then, the classic scene appeared, the warriors jumped into the dug tunnel and quickly threw explosives into it.
After releasing the explosives, the fighters quickly withdrew. The sound of cannons, gunshots, and explosives fell into Zhong Wei's ears. How could a wall of more than 10 meters tall overwhelm Zhong Wei? In the sound of the warriors' "Rush", Huaiyin City was attacked in this way.
Many teams were scared away by this Huaiyin City, but it only took Zhong Wei 10 minutes to take this Huaiyin City. Anyone who looks at this battle must say something beautiful!
Zhong Wei in the Northeast Field Army
A big man of martial arts and strategy is not an obedient warrior. Wherever you are, you must follow the rules, the military is disciplined, and you know what the commander says, that is.
Disobeying the orders of the governor, the consequences are unimaginable. On the battlefield, it is even more necessary to obey the command, after all, this war is not a child's play, and the well-arranged strategy is not implemented, but to do its own thing, and the losses caused by this are not something that can be solved by a word of responsibility.
However, Zhong Wei was such a person, he said: "The duty of a soldier is to win the battle!" I am the division commander, and I am responsible for problems. ''
He was a man who dared to be bold, and he was also a man who dared to challenge the orders of his superiors. Having said that, Zhong Wei is not a person who leads the troops to kill indiscriminately as soon as his brain is hot.
He was able to "speak wildly" also because he was able to make the most thorough plans before he actually fought a war.
Zhong Wei is also a person who has fought many battles, and he knows best how to rationally arrange the battlefield according to the terrain and environment of the battlefield.
Many people do not take into account the actual situation of the soldiers when formulating battle plans. Even if the battle can be won, it will increase many casualties as a result.
Zhong Wei and his old comrades-in-arms

In 1946, the enemy army in the northeast directly destroyed the strength of our 4 corps with its strong strength. After defeating our side, the enemy army in the northeast attacked our side to the south.
The enemy's momentum is very strong, but our army has not lost the enemy at all. In order not to let the enemy's plan to attack the south and defend the north succeed, the Northeast Coalition Army began to launch three southward crossings of the Songhua River. This is the famous "Three Lower Jiangnan".
In 1947, after receiving orders from Lin Biao, Zhong Wei was to lead his team south across the Songhua River. Zhong Wei immediately took the order and led his team to the Songhua River, but encountered an unexpected situation in the process of going.
Zhong Wei's troops met the Kuomintang troops at Jiangjiatun and Wang Kuidian, and if they did not eliminate these difficult enemies, the team would not be able to complete the team.
Zhong Wei reported to Lin Biao that he was going to give the 88th Division of the Kuomintang 71st Army to a nest, and Lin Biao listened and quickly stopped Zhong Wei. But this Zhong Wei was already ready, even if Lin Biao gave more instructions, Zhong Wei would not listen.
Lin Biao was afraid that Zhong Wei would poke Lou Zi, and sent many telegrams to ask Zhong Wei to stop this crazy behavior. But where can this stop Zhong Wei?
He patted his thigh at the soldiers and said, ''Fight, you have to hit me!' If I make a mistake, I will cut off my head, and the mistake will be borne by me! ''
This imposing appearance made the warriors full of morale and immediately went to attack the enemy. However, this enemy was still quite capable of escaping, and before they could fight to the fullest, they ran to the backer tun.
At the sight of this scene, the soldiers thought that without any obstacles, they should be able to walk towards the Songhua River, but Zhong Wei gave the order again: ''Catch up with me!'" ''
Zhong Wei took a group photo with his comrades-in-arms
The enemy has run away and still wants to chase? Isn't that a blatant waste of time? Lin Biao didn't want to let Zhong Wei do anything wrong, so he quickly sent a telegram to ask Zhong Wei to stop attacking.
Where would Zhong Wei be happy? As long as it was something he wanted to do, Lao Tzu, the Heavenly King, couldn't stop him. Zhong Wei was actually not belligerent, although the enemy ran to the patron tun, but if this enemy was not solved, the enemy's reinforcements would definitely be killed.
As soon as he saw Zhong Wei disobey the order again, Lin Biao sent another telegram, but this time Zhong Wei did not look at it.
Before waiting for the enemy's reinforcements to come, Zhong Wei said to Lin Biao: "The war is urgent, you quickly send me support!" This Zhong Wei not only did not obey the order, but actually made a request to the leader.
However, Lin Biao was not angry, and he immediately sent troops to support Zhong Wei according to what Zhong Wei said.
After the enemy's reinforcements arrived, Zhong Wei's reinforcements also arrived. Under Zhong Wei's command, the enemy was quickly beaten up. The entire 87th Division was annihilated, which meant that all three times Jiangnan was victorious.
With this great victory = victory, our army successfully changed from defending to attacking. After fighting this battle, Lin Biao, the commander of the four fields who had been disobedied three times, was overjoyed.
Lin Biao also said: "You must all learn from Comrade Zhong Wei and fight a victorious battle that dares to disobey orders!" ''

When many veteran soldiers talk about Zhong Wei, they will say: "Zhong Wei was born to fight!" ''
In November 1947, the Tohoku Field Army suffered heavy losses from the enemy. The enemy's weapons and equipment are incomparably perfect, and it is really difficult to win them.
After Zhong Wei briefly understood the war, he looked at the snowy world and patted his chest and said, "'Wrapped around me!'"
However, since Zhong Wei spoke, this also means that everything that follows must be handled by Zhong Wei himself. Sure enough, before making a plan, Zhong Wei directly requested that all this would be commanded by Zhong Wei and that the weapons resources that Zhong Wei wanted should be provided.
Zhong Wei made a plan, that is, to dig the snow track. This snow affects people's vision too much, and after digging the snow path, there will be a natural marching path.
And this snow can also be used as a cover, so hidden resources do not have to be used in vain. After making a plan, Zhong Wei led the warriors to directly take down the enemy.
Casualties among the warriors were also minimized, and the operation provided experience for other units.
Tomb of Zhong Wei
After the founding of New China in 1949, the materials compiled by the Northeast Command of the People's Liberation Army included the command's evaluation of Zhong Wei: "This unit is the most vigorous division in the northeast unit, with the strongest surprise force, rapid progress, rich combat experience, and both offensive and defensive, and is known for striking hard, charging hard, and pursuing three fiercely." Good at mobile combat, it is the first-class main division of the Northeast Army. ''
Zhong Wei fought so many victorious battles, but in 1955 he was awarded the rank of major general, where would this grumpy Zhong Wei be willing? After he was awarded the rank, he was furious.
At that time, he made a fuss at Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, and this matter was known to Chairman Mao, but Chairman Mao was not angry.
Because Chairman Mao had long heard that Zhong Wei was fighting a war, after being awarded the title of major general, Zhong Wei was treated according to the lieutenant general. Moreover, Chairman Mao personally appointed Zhong Wei as chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region.
Before Zhong Wei died, he left a will. After people read this will, they burst into tears.
Zhong Wei said: "After I die, I don't have to pay any salary, my children and grandchildren can live on their own." I don't owe any accounts myself. My television set and refrigerator are given to the party as membership fees - in addition, my guards and the nanny who cooks are very active and have a hard life, please give them proper care. Comrades, farewell to this forever. ''
The Chinese "General Patton" died in 1984, and his life was a glorious life worthy of everyone's admiration.
