As the saying goes, "Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world", who is really good to the people, the hearts of the people are clear. Those who are good to the people and wholeheartedly consider the people, the people naturally believe in him and support him.
Turning the title page of history, there are many examples of the two parties fighting each other and the Communist Party being in a difficult moment when the Communist Party was in a downward spiral, and still doing its part to help the Communist Party.
There is such a person, although he is just a seller who walks the streets and alleys, but still does not fear danger to help the Red Army soldiers escape from danger, this person is Chen Tingxian.
The Red Army was in danger
It happened in 1934, when the Kuomintang gathered a large army to launch the fifth "encirclement and suppression" campaign against the central revolutionary base areas, but at that time "left-leaning" dogmatism in the Party prevailed, coupled with the wrong command of Li De, the military adviser of the Communist International, the Red Army lost the fifth "anti-encirclement and suppression" struggle.
Under these circumstances, the Party Central Committee and the Central Red Army immediately made a decision, immediately adopted measures to withdraw from the central revolutionary base areas, and carried out a strategic transfer.
At the beginning of the Long March, the CPC Eyuwan Provincial Committee left a unit in the Soviet zone. And from this unit formed a new team, the Red Twenty-fifth Army. This Red Twenty-fifth Army had a difficult fate, and had been attacked by Chiang Kai-shek since its establishment.
Due to the fierce attack of the Kuomintang army, the Red Twenty-fifth Army also suffered huge losses, from 12,000 people at the beginning of the formation to more than 3,000 people now.
However, the enemy's purpose has not yet been fully achieved, and naturally the Red Twenty-fifth Army cannot be allowed to leave. So the enemy gathered all the troops on the way forward of the Red Army and prepared to launch another frenzied siege of the Red Army.
At this time, the senior leaders of the Red Twenty-fifth Army, after careful consideration, finally made a difficult choice, that is, to transfer in advance. So in November 1934, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Red Twenty-fifth Army also began the Long March.
But it was not so easy for the Red Army to move. Because at that time, the three directions around the Eyu-Anhui base area were heavily guarded by the Kuomintang, and only the military strength in the west was slightly weaker.
Therefore, as far as the situation was concerned, the best direction of transfer of the Red Twenty-fifth Army was to move to the west. But such an obvious strategy can be thought of by the Red Army, and so can the enemy. So it is very likely that the enemy has set up an ambush in the west, ready to snipe the Red Twenty-fifth Army.
Although the situation at that time was dangerous, it could not deceive the leaders of the Red Twenty-fifth Army, who had experienced hundreds of battles. Therefore, while the enemy was still waiting, the Red Twenty-fifth Army had already found another way and escaped the enemy's encirclement. Although the Red Twenty-fifth Army was freed from the enemy's intrigue and trickery this time, it did not expect that there was a greater danger waiting for them.
In this way, the Red Twenty-fifth Army advanced along the way and prepared to open up new base areas. However, in the process of marching, they searched for several places in succession, but found that these places were either sparsely populated, materials were scarce, or warlords' territories, and it was difficult to open up new base areas.
Later, the senior leaders of the Red Twenty-fifth Army knew that the main force of the Central Red Army was preparing to advance to northern Shaanxi, so they decided to take into account the current situation of the Red Twenty-fifth Army and decided to take the troops out to southern Shaanxi.
Unexpectedly, however, when the Red Army first arrived at the border between Henan and Shaanxi, it was ambushed by Chiang Kai-shek. It turned out that Chiang Kai-shek had already guessed the intention of the Red Twenty-fifth Army to go to Shaanxi, so he set up an ambush on the road that the Red Army had to pass through early on, waiting for the turtle to be caught in the urn.
If the Red Twenty-fifth Army wanted to survive this difficulty, it could only fight hard with the Kuomintang army. However, at this time, there were more than 3,000 wounded in the army, and they were still in a hurry for a long time, and they were already exhausted, so how could they fight hard with the well-ammunitioned Kuomintang troops?
Chen Tingxian rescued each other
Under such dangerous circumstances, the Red Twenty-fifth Army still did not give up hope, and repeatedly sent reconnaissance teams to find fellows who could lead the way. However, the local area had long been strictly controlled by the Kuomintang, and many ordinary people were frightened to hide in their homes early and not go out when they heard that they were going to take the Red Army away.
Maybe it's the way of the world. There were several small Red Army members in the Red Twenty-fifth Army, and they happened to meet Chen Tingxian, who was selling goods. These small Red Army soldiers also knew that the large troops were looking for compatriots who could lead the way, so after they saw Chen Tingxian, they rushed forward to inquire.
When Chen Tingxian first saw these Red Army soldiers, he was also shocked. But Chen Tingxian is different from ordinary people, as a cargo man, he walks the streets and alleys, sees more people and places than ordinary people.
Therefore, he also understood even more that the Red Army was not as "brutal" as the Kuomintang said, but was an army that considered the common people. Therefore, Chen Tingxian was very fond of the Red Army.
Under the explanation of several Red Army soldiers, Chen Tingxian understood that it was the Red Army troops who were surrounded by the Kuomintang, and the situation was very critical. Now it takes a fellow villager who is familiar with the road to help lead the way and let them enter Shaanxi.
After chen tingxian learned of the Red Army's request, he patted his chest and said that he knew where there was a small road to lead the troops forward. Several small soldiers of the Red Army were very happy to hear this, and immediately took Chen Tingxian to the place where the large troops of the Red Twenty-fifth Army were located.
Finally, under the guidance of Chen Tingxian, the Red Army troops found that there was indeed a road in this mountain that could bypass the heavy troops of the Kuomintang and go directly to Shaanxi. So with the help of Chen Tingxian, all the soldiers of the Red Twenty-fifth Army easily broke through the blockade line guarded by the Kuomintang army.
A slightly regrettable ending
After the Red Twenty-fifth Army broke away from the heavy encirclement of the Kuomintang, the senior leaders of the Twenty-fifth Army wanted to give Chen Tingxian ten oceans on behalf of the Red Army to express their gratitude to him.
However, Chen Tingxian resolutely refused to accept it, and then the leader of the Red Twenty-fifth Army left him a certificate note with the seal of the Chinese Red Army to prove that Chen Tingxian saved more than 3,000 Red Army soldiers.
Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the note was also burned. In order to escape the war, Chen Tingxian also left his hometown.
Later, after Chen Tingxian settled down, he also paid attention to the Red Twenty-fifth Army, and he did not expect that there were 97 founding generals in the team of more than 3,000 people he saved, which was really shocking! Chen Tingxian was very pleased and felt that he had also made his own efforts for the country.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leaders of the Red Twenty-fifth Army thanked Chen Tingxian for his help and wanted to find him, but because Chen Tingxian did not tell others about this deed, plus Chen Tingxian had long left his hometown, he could not be found.
Finally, in 1985, when the Central Military Commission was compiling the military history of the Red Twenty-fifth Army, it discovered the story of Chen Tingxian. So he mobilized the forces of several provinces to find Chen Tingxian, but by the time he found it, Chen Tingxiang had already died.
brief summary:
Who is truly considering the future of the country, who is truly considering the people, the people are all looking in the eyes and remembering them. Only those who sincerely do practical things for the people will win the support of the people! As the saying goes, "Those who have gained the Tao have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help." That's the point.
