Peng Xuefeng was a senior general of the New Fourth Army during the Red Army and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, who made great contributions to the revolution, and the sacrifice was too unexpected, which made many old comrades-in-arms suddenly moved. After his sacrifice, his superiors appointed Zhang Aiping as the commander of the division, why did anyone object?
Let's talk about how General Peng Xuefeng sacrificed!
In August 1944, Peng Xuefeng led his troops to the west, fought several consecutive victorious battles, just when attacking Balizhuang, the enemy broke through and fled, he went to the front line to command the battle, just on the wall, he was hit by stray bullets and fell to the ground and died.
His sacrifice made both the New Fourth Army and the Yan'an side feel sudden, and considering his great influence in Yuwan su, the Central China Bureau decided not to mourn.
Peng Xuefeng was sacrificed, who would serve as the commander of the Fourth Division? The superiors decided to let Zhang Aiping take the post, but some people reacted.
Zhang Aiping and Peng Xuefeng are old acquaintances, and during the Red Army period, they were partners. One serves as the head of the regiment and one as the political commissar. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they worked in the New Fourth Army.
Zhang Aiping served as the brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Third Division, and after the Anhui Incident, General Manager Chen asked him to serve as the chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, but he refused, and was later transferred to the Third Division as deputy division commander.
Zhang Aiping is different from many generals, he thinks that he can do the job, and he should not give in, but he feels that he can't do it, even if the position is high, he will resolutely not do it.
Moreover, Zhang Aiping is a person who does not hide his words, and if there is anything, as long as he feels unreasonable, he dares to bring it up. It is painful to say, but it also has to pay a price.
In the revolutionary ranks, there is also a phenomenon of disunity, and there are many controversies and differences, and he does not like others to go to the program at every turn, especially when holding party life meetings, he can criticize and self-criticize, but he cannot casually buckle his hat.
Perhaps because of this, when he took over the post of commander of Peng Xuefeng's division, there were people who objected, but the Yan'an side did not accept it and insisted on appointing him as the division commander.
