General Iron Blood Soul
——A few fragments of Peng Zhongtao's old chief's military career
Last year, on the occasion of commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Volunteers' going abroad to fight, I wrote "Memories and Stories of the Yalu River," praising the heroic deeds of Wu Xinquan, then commander of the 39th Army of the Volunteer Army, Wu Guozhang, deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, and Wang Fuzhi, acting commander of the 115th Division. Then he wrote "They Forged the Military Soul of the 39th Army with Youth, Blood and Life", praising the feats of 7 outstanding commanders and heroes such as Qingchuan, Ni Xiangming, Gao Yunhe and so on. Not long ago, I wrote "Phi Jian Zhi Rui Heroic Spirit", in the form of a joint sentence and a text (commentary), jointly praising 22 exemplary figures of meritorious heroes such as Xue Jianqiang, Peng Zhongtao, and Huang Yunteng during the period of the 39th Army's War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
When I finished writing the text of Peng Zhongtao, the political commissar of the 351st Regiment at the time, I always had a feeling of incompleteness. In the process of collecting and consulting materials, I was deeply infected and shocked by the old chief's command ability, heroic deeds, personality charm, and literary skills.
During my work in the army, I had several close encounters with the old chiefs, and I was quite impressed. To this end, I want to write something for him in an independent article. This intention was supported by my old division chief Jia Ruizhen and the former commander of the 115th Division, Huang Yusheng, and other chiefs and comrades-in-arms.
Commissar Peng's magnificent life is difficult to express in an article based on my literary water. After much deliberation, I think it is advisable to cut a few pieces and write them.
This clumsy work is hereby sent to the chiefs, comrades-in-arms and readers, and implores the knife to cut the axe.
Survive under the care of a loving mother and grow up under the cultivation of an underground party
Autumn wind haunts the water;
Frost leaves fill the flag mountain.
On September 1, 1920 (October 12 of the solar calendar), in Luoning County, southwest of Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, at the northern foot of Funiu Mountain, In Pengfu, a village on the shore of Luoshui, a baby fell to the ground. This is undoubtedly a great joy for the Peng family. This newborn is the character to be written about in this article - Peng Zhongtao.
When Peng Zhongtao was 5 years old, his father was killed by bandits. He heard his mother say that although his father was not tall, he was very strong and was the most capable person in the family. When the ancestors separated, their life was quite tight. His grandfather was a former Qing Dynasty boy (second only to Xiucai, the family had two large boxes of wooden board printed books), but he had been discouraged, and he took two sons (his father and uncle) in the countryside to open a powder house, plant bamboo, and save money, save some money, buy fields and bamboo gardens, and gradually get better.
Grandmother's surname is Di, and she is a shuxiang mendi bridesmaid. Her mother's surname was Sun, and she was the daughter of a family that was not wealthy.
When Peng Zhongtao was 6 years old, he entered a private primary school in his village, and began to work hard, and sometimes caused some trouble. Once his mother took him to his father's grave. While burning the paper, the mother cried and said, "Your father died early, and it is not easy for us orphans and widows." Mom's only hope is that you can study well, become an adult, and fight for your mother. As long as you are willing to study, your mother sells the house and sells the land, and eats chaff vegetables to provide for you to go to school. His mother's words were like a spring breeze and a drizzle that nourished his young heartland.
Later, his mother told him a bitter past: Shortly after your father's death, your third grandfather smoked a lot of cigarettes and sold out his share of the family property, hoping to occupy our family property. He wants to kill you and sell me. Once he grabbed you and threw you out, but fortunately my mother pounced on you. Afterwards, your grandfather found out and had a big fight with him. After your grandfather died, the top pillar of our family fell, and your third grandfather had a bad heart again, wanting to keep you and sell me to others. For this, a group of people from your grandfather's house came and calmed him down. Once, my mother was forced to have no way out, so she secretly ate a big smoke and was discovered by your grandmother, who asked someone to pour dirty water on me, and I vomited for a day and a night before I woke up.
Listening to his mother's tearful speech, he felt his mother's hardships and the breadth and depth of his mother's love. After that, he understood things, read hard, and could memorize more than a hundred Tang poems when he graduated from primary school.
At the age of 12, he was admitted to the most famous first senior primary school in the county. In two years, he completed all the courses with excellent results, and in his spare time, he also read progressive novels such as "Camel Xiangzi", "Lao Zhang Philosophy", and "Young Drifter".
After graduating from high school (equivalent to junior high school), he first attended a teacher training class for one year, and then was admitted to the fifth middle school (the meaning of 25 years of nationals). The school has a high quality of teaching, and at the same time there are some progressive teachers and students (underground party members). During this period, he read the works of Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, and others, received advanced ideological education, and joined the vanguard of the liberation of the Chinese nation.
1937 was a turning point in Peng Zhongtao's life path. This year, under the sweep of the anti-Japanese wave, he had the idea of throwing his pen into Congrong, and said in poetry:
The Luoyang City Gate was shocked, and the Japanese shelled the Lugou Bridge.
Mo Dao's milky yellow mouth dared to throw his hot blood head.
He then wrote an article titled "Where Is China Going?" Teacher Han Dasheng (an underground party member) commented after reading: "The argument is correct, the exposition is clear, and the thinking is profound. And was recommended for publication in the school journal. Later, Teacher Han sent him Marxist-Leninist books such as the Communist Manifesto and asked him to read them and publicize them.
One day in October of the same year, Teacher Han called him away and solemnly said to him, "Comrade Peng Zhongtao, the organization has decided that you will join the Communist Party of China. He shook Teacher Han's hand and said excitedly, "From now on, I will be a member of the party." I will always listen to the Party and follow the Party! "This year, he just turned 17. Since then, he has been more active in working for the party and was later elected secretary of the party branch. It can be described as:
There are few exorcisms;
Have a strong sense of national salvation.
Throw pen from Rong to the anti-Japanese front
Trample my rivers and mountains, kill my father and brother, and cover Lu GouYue with wolf smoke;
Born as a social ji, died as a Li Shu, and forged the soul of the nation with great courage.
After the July 7 Incident, in the face of the current situation of broken mountains and rivers, the people's lack of livelihood, and the decline of the wilderness, as well as the situation of family decline, hardship in life, and difficulty in studying, Peng Zhongtao, who had the feeling of family and country, disregarded no brothers and no sisters, abandoned his widowed mother, and suffered the reputation of filial piety to his descendants, and in mid-October 1938, he made a long-brewed determination: throw in the pen and fight against Japan to save his life.
The day before his departure, at Zhang Shijie's house, he presided over the last branch committee, elected the secretary and members of the party branch, and studied the next step of developing party members and the peasants' salvation congress.
The next morning, he carried a bag with several books and clothes on his back, bid farewell to his loving mother, bid farewell to his countrymen, and embarked on the road from Rong.
The next day, while leaving Luoning County, he wrote this poem in chalk on the wall of an ancient temple next to the road:
Single bearers are in a hurry to join the army, and their good heads are thrown for the country.
Parting message to the villagers, the thief will never see his father.
On the afternoon of this day, they arrived at the garrison of the newly organized 5th Army of the Kuomintang. After reporting, Peng Zhongtao was assigned to the 6th team. I trained here for a while. One day, Teacher Han (the head of the underground party) went to him and Sun Yujie and said, "The organizational relationship between the two of you has turned over." Then he added: "The troops may have to go to the anti-Japanese front line next." Communists should strive to learn to lead soldiers to fight and become vanguard fighters of the Anti-Japanese Resistance. ”
At the end of February 1939, he was assigned from the teaching brigade to the 1st Platoon of the 1st Battalion, 1st Battalion, 7th Regiment, and later promoted to probationary platoon leader.
Soon after descending to the 7th Regiment, it began to move north. During the march, he witnessed the tragic situation of the broken walls and bones left behind after the Japanese Kou sweep, which strengthened his determination to resist Japan to the end.
One day, the troops crossed a place called Eighteen Ridges, and his superiors ordered his 2 companies to ambush on both sides of the road under the ridge. At about 9 o'clock, when about a company of the vanguard of the Japanese army entered the ambush circle, under the order of the superior, machine guns, rifles, and grenades opened fire at the same time, and Peng Zhongtao, as a pioneer soldier, rushed to the front with the whole platoon, and defeated the enemy.
In the autumn of 1939, the Kuomintang began to purge the Communist Party (purge the Communists) in the New 5th Army. One night, he instructed his superiors to inform the Communists scattered in the companies to assemble in Shuzhang Town. They were then escorted to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
After New Year's Day in 1940, the organization sent them to the Taihang Mountain Party School to study. The comrades said happily that they had finally returned to the embrace of the Party. "Look up at the cold sky, ask the eagle, can you take me back, and fulfill my long-cherished dream." These are a few words written by Peng Zhongtao that year, expressing the voice of everyone at that time.
During their time at the Party School, they systematically studied theories such as the history of social development, the united front, and the strategy and tactics of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
At the beginning of August, due to the needs of the situation in the anti-Japanese struggle in central China, the organization called on these comrades from central China to return to central China to resist the war and form a cadre regiment going south.
In mid-August, when the team led by the regiment leader Yang Guangchi was sent from Liao County to Wei County, Hebei Province, Peng Zhongtao and more than a dozen other people fell ill with typhoid fever.
Misfortune did not go it alone, and in those few days the Rikou began to sweep through the area. Local party organizations scattered them among the peasants' homes.
Peng Zhongtao was placed in a Zhang family. The old couple is simple and kind, and cooks porridge and boils medicine for him every day. One night, a sharp shout slammed on the door to wake up the people in the house, and then several ghosts rushed into the house, pointing at Peng Zhongtao, who was lying on the kang, and shouted. Uncle Zhang said: "He is my son, suffering from typhoid fever, and he has not lived for a few days." Please raise your hand high. A guy stepped forward and ripped open the quilt and looked at it, then waved his hand away.
The next day someone used a big car to move them, and Peng Zhongtao, who was lying on the car and sleeping, was awakened by a breeze, he sat up violently and shouted: "Little Japan, as long as I don't die, I will fight with you to the end!" ”
After they were cured, they continued on their way, eating and sleeping all the way to northern Jiangsu in the spring of 1941.
Organizationally these comrades were assigned work. Peng Zhongtao was assigned to the Propaganda Section of the Political Department of the Huai Naval Sub-district as an officer. There are only 4 people in this department, and Gao Xin, the head of the organization section, is responsible, and there is an officer and a clerk in each group and a publicity section. The day after he took office, the chief of the high section entrusted him with the task of compiling political textbooks for the troops. When Peng Zhongtao came out of the party school, he brought a lot of books, and he was familiar with them, coupled with a thick cultural background and diligence, in less than half a month he wrote more than 20 lectures and nearly 100,000 words of teaching materials. And after the paperwork is engraved with steel plates, it is bound into a book and distributed to the grass-roots level. It is said up and down that this book is well written, both theoretical and easy to understand. The head of the division praised him as "a pen holder, a good seedling." ”
At the end of January 1942, he was transferred to Huaihai Cadre School as a student team instructor and political instructor. Later, he was transferred to the cavalry company as an instructor. His horsemanship was learned at this time, which came in handy for later marching wars.
In August 1943, Peng Zhongtao was promoted from regimental organization officer to instructor of the direct subordinate team, in charge of the political work of the division, the government, the supply, the guard, and the special service company. Soon after he arrived at his post, he encountered such a thing: Guan Shengwen, director of the supply department, was an old comrade in the Eyu-Anhui Soviet District. He was 37 years old and alone, and the organization helped him find a mother-in-law. When this virtuous sister-in-law saw that her husband was wearing a cotton coat full of patches, she asked the quartermaster department for some cloth and cotton, and quietly made a cotton coat for her husband. Who knew that this son could cause "trouble", he not only did not wear it, but also let the sewing factory meet to criticize her. After Peng Zhongtao knew, he went to the door to do the ideological work of both sides. The sister-in-law cried bitterly when she saw him. She said: "The troops change a set of cotton clothes every two years, Lao Guan's clothes have been worn for 5 years, and they can't be repaired when they are broken. Peng said: "You have done a good job, and everyone understands and supports you." I talked to Lao Guan. Director Guan was stubborn, and Peng Zhongtao said on the false transmission of the holy will: "Political Commissar Li asked me to talk to you, it is inappropriate for you to do that, and you should not complain about your sister-in-law at home." It took a lot of effort for director Guan to feel that he had gone a little too far and apologized to his wife.
In the spring of 1945, according to the needs of the situation, the Party Central Committee decided to form an independent brigade by the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army. The Independent Brigade consisted of 2 detachments (present-day 349 regiments) and 3 detachments (present-day 351 regiments). The 3 detachments have jurisdiction over three regiments, 7, 8 and 9, the leader of the detachment is Zhang Qicheng, and the political commissar is Li Shaoyuan. The leader of the 7th Regiment is Qian Qian, and the political commissar is Peng Zhongtao.
On April 4, the troops began to move south (from northern Jiangsu to southern Anhui), and Commissar Peng realized at the beginning that consolidating the troops was the primary task of this thousand-mile leap into the Anhui River. Because the soldiers and grass-roots cadres of this new unit are overwhelmingly locals, they have never been far from their homes, coupled with the hardships of marching and difficult life. The situation was just as he expected, and after a few days of marching, there was a phenomenon of "desertion" (cadres and soldiers), and some battalions and companies were still quite serious. To this end, he organized the political work cadres of the battalion company to analyze the ideological dynamics of the troops, determine the "targets for consolidation," and adopt the methods of "active consolidation" (positive education, party members' help, advanced performance, etc.) and "passive consolidation" (setting up kabu sentries, encircling and chasing and blocking, etc.) to better solve this urgent problem.
After a long journey of 9 days, the troops met with the troops in the Anhui River base area on the 13th. Here the troops conducted more than three months of retraining.
On August 15, after breakfast, Commander Qian and Commissar Peng rode to the detachment on horseback for a meeting, and when they were about to arrive, they heard shouts: "Little Japan has surrendered, and the detachment will not open." The two of them turned around and quickly ran back to the regiment and told everyone about this great news. The troops boiled over and rushed to the empty field, their heads tied with towels, their hands tapping on the washbasins, hugging, jumping, singing, and many of the wounded and sick also participated, and they reveled until the evening.
This night, Peng Zhongtao was so excited that he couldn't sleep, so he put on his clothes and picked up the lamp, and wrote this poem with a wave:
The eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was arduous and arduous, and the bloody rain was waiting for the sunset.
Overheard that wokou will be given the first head, and the wounded and sick will be accompanied by tears.
Late on the night of the 15th, the detachment held an emergency meeting to convey Chairman Mao's august 9 statement "The Last Battle Against the Japanese Kou" and the order of Commander-in-Chief Zhu.
On the 16th, the three detachments successfully encircled and completely annihilated the enemy of Wuwei County. Wuwei County is a county in Anhui Province on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, according to the reconnaissance city there are about 300 Japanese puppet troops, there are high walls around the city, and the main road in the city is fortified. The leader of the detachment ordered the 8th and 9th regiments to break through side by side from the west of the city, and the 7th regiment to provide reinforcements in the southwest direction of the city. After the battle began, the 8th Regiment completely annihilated the puppet army of the county government with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. Subsequently, a street battle was fought with the Japanese army. The 9th Regiment eliminated another puppet army. Commander Qian of the 7th Regiment and Commissar Peng commanded the troops to repulse the enemy five times in the southwest of the city. At this moment, the 8th Regiment was fighting a difficult battle in the alley, and Commissar Peng obeyed the order and led 2 companies to run to the city and cooperate with the 8th Regiment to surround and annihilate the Japanese army. The company commander, Ding Guangrong, was seriously wounded in the battle, and he commanded the battle together with zhang Guoxian, the instructor of the company, and finally completely annihilated the Japanese army side by side with the 8th Regiment.
In late September, in accordance with the order of the Central Military Commission, the Independent Brigade returned to northern Jiangsu and returned the 3rd Division.
Like a young eagle, the Independent Brigade spread its wings and soared from the day of its birth, flying from the north bank of the Yangtze River to the Dabie Mountains. Then he shouldered a new mission, greeted the dawn before dawn, and flew towards the black water of the day!
Pull out Sanyuan Village and enter tianjin city
Jingu Crazy Scroll;
The battle is in full swing.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in order to cope with the all-out civil war that Chiang Kai-shek was about to launch, the Party Central Committee ordered Huang Kecheng to lead three brigades and three special service regiments in northern Jiangsu with a total of more than 30,000 people out of the border to establish a consolidated base area in the northeast, and Peng Zhongtao, within the formation of one of the independent brigades, began to fight between the White Mountains and The Black Waters, fighting in the liaoshen land for three years, and successively participated in the campaigns of suppressing bandits, land reform, "three under the south of the jiangsu and four to protect the linjiang", attack jinzhou, and occupy Shenyang, and was promoted from battalion instructor to director of the regimental political office and regimental political commissar. Immediately after that, he entered the customs non-stop to participate in the campaign to liberate Tianjin.
Tianjin is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Chen Changjie, commander of urban defense, built more than 380 reinforced concrete blockhouses and nearly a thousand bunker groups in the urban area and the periphery, dug a moat with a width of 10 meters, a depth of 5 meters, a water depth of 3 meters, and a length of more than 50 kilometers around the city, and built the excavated soil into a moat with a bottom width of 5 meters, a top width of 2 meters, and a height of more than 3 meters. The conceited Chen Changjie said to himself, "My name is Changjie, and if your communist army has the power to move mountains and overturn the sea, I will also be victorious." ”
On New Year's Day 1949, Liu Yalou, commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Campaign, decided to concentrate 22 divisions, a total of 340,000 troops, and adopt the tactics of "advancing east and west, cutting off the waist, first south and then north, first dividing and then annihilating, eating meat first and then gnawing bones" to conquer Tianjin.
On January 5, 1949, the 117th Division held its second operational discussion, and at the end of the meeting at 1 p.m., it received a notice from the army that the division should send two companies to replace two companies of the 38th Army northwest of Sanyuan Village. Commander Zhang gave this task to the 351st Regiment. Peng Zhongtao, the political commissar of the regiment, said to Du Cundian, the regimental commander: "Let Deputy Regiment Commander Shi make arrangements." The regimental commander said: "This task is very important, or I will go." About an hour after he left, Lin Fang, director of the Political Department, called and said: "Commander Du, commander of the 1st Battalion and commander of the 2nd Unit have all been injured." Immediately, the division commander, the political commissar, and Peng Zhongtao rushed to the scene and saw that the battalion commander Sun Jingting and the unit commander Wang Tiantian had been sacrificed. Commander Du was shot in the chest and died after being rescued with all his might.
When Commissar Peng saw the 26-year-old old partner and two subordinates suddenly leave, he was devastated and burst into tears.
The sacrifice of these three people aroused the sorrow and indignation of the officers and men of the whole regiment, and the whole regiment held a "memorial oath meeting" in front of the battle on the night of the 6th, and Wu Faxian, military political commissar, and Li Shaoyuan, political commissar of the division, both attended and spoke. Peng Zhongtao held back tears and recited a poem to express his grief.
The hardships and successes of the battle are completed, and the mourning is lost in the middle of the way.
Five thousand jian'er called out to the thief, and Tsujo made a cup to sacrifice the man.
The venue was filled with sobs, and the soldiers shouted angrily: "Pull out Sanyuan Village, enter Tianjin, and avenge the regiment leader!" ”
After the military division combat meeting, the combat tasks of each division and regiment were determined. The 351st Regiment was responsible for first eliminating the enemy on the periphery, destroying the enemy's stronghold outside the Peace Gate, Sanyuan Village, and then entering a deep battle.
Sanyuan Village is only 100 meters away from the outside of the Peace Gate, is an important barrier on the western outskirts of the enemy city wall, the enemy has built 3 reinforced water bunkers here, 12 light and dark bunkers, each fort has a traffic trench connection, the bunker group is equipped with a thorny iron wire network, and the minefields on the front of the stronghold and the north and south sides are laid, forming a circular defense system.
Political Commissar Peng, Acting RegimentAldo Yang Xinghua, and other leaders studied and decided to entrust this task to the 4th Company and the 5th Company, with the 4th Company as the main attacker. The company commander Luo Xibao was a famous Luo Huzi, a person who dared to fight a battle. Instructor Zhang Ming loves to use his brain when fighting and is good at doing battlefield agitation work. Subsequently, he explained the task to Yang Yukun, commander of the 2nd Battalion, and Xu Shihang, the instructor. At night, the whole regiment was mobilized to dig two traffic trenches to reach 40 meters from Sanyuan Village. It also happened that that night, a platoon leader of the enemy ran to the city and through him and made a clear picture of the light and dark fire points and the situation of the minefield in the stronghold.
At 5 o'clock on the 8th, the 4th Company and the 5th Company entered the communication trench. Commissar Peng led Deputy Regiment Commander Shi for the last inspection before the battle, and then sat down at the battalion command post to direct the battle.
At 15:00 on the 8th, with the support of artillery fire, the 4th Company launched an attack on Sanyuan Village, and the assault squad broke into the enemy position in one fell swoop and planted the battle flag on bunker No. 1. Liu Guohui, the commander of the 3rd platoon, led the whole platoon to knock down three bunkers in succession. While hitting Bunker No. 5, the warrior Hou Qiming inserted the blast canister into the bunker firing hole and was pushed out. Then he inserted the explosive Jane into it, and used his knees to hold the fuse and die with the enemy. Company commander Luo Xibao led 1 platoon and 2 platoons into Sanyuan Village, and after destroying several enemy dark fire points, ordered the machine gun squad to rush to the east of Sanyuan Village and control the bridge on the moat. The 5th Company also attacked the bunker group on the south side. The battle lasted only 30 minutes, killing and wounding 28 people and capturing 96 enemy prisoners. We killed only 1 person and wounded 19 people. The 4th Company was awarded the "Indestructible" pennant by the army.
At 9 o'clock on the 15th, Liu Yaxia gave the order to start the general offensive. The regiments of the 117th Division attacked the city according to their combat tasks. After the 349th and 350th regiments broke into the city wall, the 351st regiment followed closely forward. Commissar Peng ordered the 3rd Battalion to eliminate the enemy along the way and advance bravely. When the battalion rushed to Gansu Road, the battalion commander urged Weiban to report: In front of the Nankai University branch, there is a large underground shelter on the east side of the teaching building, and there are bunkers and civil bunkers on the north and south sides of the building. Commissar Peng ordered the 3rd Battalion to dispatch two platoons of the 8th Company to feint the north and south sides of the building, and to cover the blasting team of the 9th Company from the window on the west side of the building. After the order was given, only a loud noise was heard, the window of the building was blown open a passage, the 9th company took advantage of the smoke to rush into the building, and the 1st platoon found that the enemy was rushing out from inside the shelter in an attempt to block the passage. The deputy platoon leader led a squad to give the enemy a head-on blow. After the 2nd and 3rd platoons rushed into the building, the instructors led 2 platoons to carry out a surprise attack from the rear, blocking the entrance and exit of the shelter and disarming all the enemies in the courtyard. The company commander rushed over with 3 platoons, threw more than a dozen grenades and two explosive canisters into the shelter, and after shouting to attack the heart, nearly 200 enemy people surrendered. In this battle, more than 70 enemy soldiers were killed and 360 people below the enemy battalion commander were captured.
The 3rd Battalion continued to advance in depth. Surrounded by an enemy battalion in the area of the Bell and Drum Tower, the instructor Li Bing organized a shout, did not cost a single shot, and captured nearly 400 enemy people.
At about 10 o'clock on the 15th, the regimental commander ordered the 1st Battalion to quickly seize the Zhangzhuang Bridge. Battalion commander Zhang Jian and instructor Zhang Yunbo attacked from the left and right flanks with 1 company and 2 companies respectively, and in less than half an hour occupied the bridge and killed the enemy's first regimental commander, killing more than 80 enemy personnel and capturing more than 600 enemy personnel. Immediately after that, the 2nd Battalion followed the order and captured the Central Bank Building, annihilating nearly 500 enemy troops.
At this point, the 351st Regiment killed and wounded more than 500 enemy people, captured 2454 people, and captured more than 1800 guns of various kinds (Ting, Men). Successfully completed the combat mission assigned by his superiors. This is exactly:
Bo Zhong must be divided, the hero is not his own, directly pounding the three yuan, Jinmen break through the capital to take;
A little tao can be learned, the ambition has been polished for a long time, and following the conquest of the Nine Domains, the national dream will eventually come true and prosperous.
(This joint is embedded with the word "Zhongtao")
After the war, Commissar Peng led his troops to recuperate in Wuqing, during which he was pleased to hear that General Fu Zuoyi led his troops to revolt in Beiping, and he was ecstatic and sighed, so he laid out the Xuan twist pipe and wrote this Que "Broken Array":
Liao Shen did not have time to rest? Yuguan secretly crossed the speed. Urging ma chi to drive the red banner, the array of forests strictly surrounded the isolated city, and The war in Tianjin was raging.
Day and night to fight hard, knives and guns and raise soldiers. The enemy chieftain cut off the sea route, did not move to Goku Beiping, roughly Mao Zedong.
After the victory in the Battle of Tianjin, our 39th Army took a short rest, set out from the garrison on April 28, traveled on foot for 45 days through Jilu Yu'e, and arrived at the north bank of the Han River to assemble. After a period of reorganization, the troops crossed the river to participate in the Battle of Hengbao. Subsequently, with the momentum of destruction and decay, it advanced towards Guangxi and Guangdong until the victorious banner was planted on Zhennanguan.
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea cut off Hengcheng as a pioneer
Over the mountains and mountains, the leading unit is interspersed, and the phi-garde is strong and sharp;
The Prancing Horse crossed the knife, deployed soldiers to break the line, and sacrificed their lives to make great achievements.
On the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Political Commissar Peng Zhongtao and Commander Wang Deyu led the 351st Regiment to participate in many big battles, hard battles, and vicious battles, such as the first battle of Yunshan, the breakthrough of the Linjin River, and the capture of Seoul. The most noteworthy is the Roundabout Battle of Hengcheng.
On January 25, 1951, after three blows against the United Nations, led by the United States, it retreated to the 37th parallel. In order to save the situation, The newly appointed commander of the US 8th Army, Ridgway, concentrated 230,000 troops, including 17 divisions and 3 brigades, and took advantage of the opportunity of our army's rest to launch an all-out offensive from the two key directions of the east and the west. In accordance with the strategic principle of "opposing the west and the east," the Chinese and DPRK armies defended with a part of their forces on the western front and concentrated their main forces to counterattack along the Hengcheng area on the eastern front.
The 117th Division was assigned to the 42nd Army and was tasked with detours.
On the morning of February 7, Deputy Division Commander Han Shu went to the 42nd Army to receive a mission. Wu Ruilin, commander of the army, pointed to the battle map and said: "After the campaign was launched, your division inserted directly from the right wing into the Heguli area north of Hengcheng, cutting off the retreat route of the Han 8th Division and the 9th Regiment of the US 2nd Division, first, to block the enemy of Hengcheng from reinforcing to the north, and second, to block the enemy north of Hengcheng and retreat to Hengcheng." On behalf of all the officers and men of the division, Deputy Division Commander Han said: "Please rest assured that our division will resolutely obey the command and ensure the completion of the task." ”
On the evening of February 8, division commander Zhang Zhicheng and political commissar Li Shaoyuan led a team of more than 7,000 people to cross the North Han River, cross the Huanglong Mountains, and reach the assembly area before dawn on February 10.
On the morning of 10 February, after listening to the report of Deputy Division Commander Han, the division party committee decided: Take advantage of the darkness of the night to surprise the enemy, implement bold and courageous interspersure, use two regiments to capture the favorable terrain on both sides of the Xia and Heguli Highways, control the main points, and cut off the enemy's retreat; and use one regiment to ensure the safety of the division's flanks and contain the enemy at Hengcheng. The 351st Regiment was the vanguard regiment, responsible for repelling the enemy who was blocking along the way, capturing the key points on both sides of the Summer Highway and the highlands north of Lower Jiayun, and forming a campaign with the 66th Army to encircle the front. The tasks undertaken by the 349th and 350th regiments were also clarified.
At 17:00 on the 11th, Commander Zhang ordered: "Vanguard regiment, go." "The commanders and fighters of the whole division wore cotton clothes (wrapped in white for air defense) and straw air defense hats. When the troops set off, Political Commissar Peng said to Commander Wang: "As the vanguard unit of the whole division, our regiment must be mentally prepared for independent combat. The regimental commander said, "Yes, we must be the pioneers of the whole division." After the team had traveled a few kilometers, Commissar Peng found that the divisional command post behind their regiment was too close to them. He immediately ran to the back to face the division commander and said, "The division finger should distance ourselves from us in case of an accident." The team traveled a few more kilometers, passing a fork in the road in a village, and Commissar Peng felt that the road was a little wrong. It just so happened that the division commander also came to tell the regiment that it had taken the wrong road. Just at this time, the avant-garde company took two prisoners (The Korean Army), and according to them, there was still a short way to go to the Crane Valley. Commander Wang opened the map and looked closely, and sure enough, it was so. Commissar Peng, who was well versed in "the impermanence of soldiers, the impermanence of water, and the victor who wins because of the changes in the enemy, who is called the god," and the regimental commander decided to let those two people lead the way and cut a short way.
The troops traveled along a mountain road to the foot of a mountain more than 700 meters above sea level. Because of the darkness of the snow and darkness, the way up the mountain could not be found, and the command post informed the battalions and companies to change from columns to horizontal formations and march in tandem. I saw the commanders and fighters "climbing snowy mountains with their hands and feet, holding guns and rolling down tightly." The horseshoe guns were difficult to climb, and the soldiers pulled forward and pushed back. Over this mountain, in front of it is a road. The regimental command post ran forward with the troops, and arrived at both sides of the road between Heguli and Summer before dawn on the 8th, in advance of the prescribed time. They looked east and saw that about a battalion of U.S. troops was marching in the direction of Hebi Mountain. Without receiving instructions from the 66th Army, the two regimental commanders immediately made a decision and ordered the 2nd Battalion to rush over and occupy the 332.6 heights on Hebi Mountain. Commissar Peng sat in the camp command post, and together with Zhang Shufang, commander of the 2nd Battalion, and Zou Jinzhang, instructor, commanded the troops to rush into the enemy group, split the enemy position, fought bravely and fiercely, and occupied this high ground with lightning speed, and captured 210 American troops (including a major officer). The rest of the enemy was suppressed in a depression near the road.
At the same time that the 2nd Battalion was seizing the high ground, Commander Wang commanded the 3rd Battalion to attack the Roks in Luxi, killing and capturing more than 100 enemy soldiers and capturing an enemy air-to-air liaison board.
At this time, Commander Zhang called, and Peng Zhongtao reported the battle situation to him. The division commander said: "You have overcome many difficulties, punctuated in place on time, seized the high ground of Bihe Mountain, intercepted the enemy, and made a great contribution to the whole division, and you must defend this position at all costs." ”
At about 8 o'clock on the 12th, enemy planes circled over Hengcheng and tanks came out of the city to cover two battalions of the 9th Regiment of the US 2nd Division and two battalions of the Han 8th Division of Xincun, which were trapped in the summer, along the road toward Hengcheng. At the same time, two battalions of the enemy in Hengcheng were leaving the city to meet the enemy fleeing south.
At this critical moment when the whole division was interspersed with victory or defeat, Commander Zhang ordered the 351st Regiment: "We must resolutely hold the road and must not let the two enemy forces get closer." ”
Unwilling to be defeated, the Americans, supported by artillery fire, launched a counterattack against our 2nd Battalion with the strength of two battalions, which, relying on the favorable terrain occupied, repelled 5 enemy attacks in succession. The position of the 4th Company was the main position of the whole battalion, and the battle was extremely fierce. After several counterattacks, only the deputy platoon commander Wang Deren and the soldiers Tang Wenji and Zhao Yishan were left on the only 2nd platoon that had to pass through the enemy's retreat, and they had run out of ammunition. So the three warriors rushed into the enemy group and engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and finally they all died heroically. Instructor Feng Shuxian immediately organized the 18 soldiers left in the whole company, including messengers, clerks, and cooks, counterattacked the invading enemy, and held the main position with the support of the 6 companies that rushed in with reinforcements.
The Han 8th Division, which had withdrawn to Xincun, was spearheaded by 8 tanks and covered the breakthrough of more than 10 vehicles carrying infantry to the south. The regiment's 1st Battalion was condescending and gave the enemy a stubborn resistance. At about 10:00 a.m., the 2nd Battalion, which was holding the high ground on Hebi Mountain, was in a tight battle, and the regimental commander ordered the 1st Battalion, located on the west side of the road, to attack and reinforce. The battalion pursued and fought fiercely, occupying 3 hills southeast of The 563.7 Plateau in a row, blocking the enemy's retreat.
The Han 8th Division immediately transferred two battalions and frantically attacked the position of our 1st Battalion. The 1st Battalion, while holding on to the occupied position, carried out a counterattack from the enemy flank on the other hand, repelled 7 enemy attacks in succession, the whole battalion suffered heavy casualties, and the battalion commander Zhao Xigang died heroically in the battle. The regimental commander's political commissar saw the situation and ordered the guard company to enter the battle. The 349th Regiment also interspersed in place by noon. The two regiments were divided into two routes, one was to jam and annihilate the enemy fleeing south, and the other way was to intercept and destroy the enemy reinforcements at Hengcheng. By 14:00, the two regiments had annihilated more than 1,000 enemy troops.
At 16:30, three red signal flares were raised over the Crane Valley, and in an instant, the cannon rumbled, the flag hunting, the sound of military trumpets, and the 3 infantry regiments of the 117th Division and a battalion of the 66th Army formed a siege against the remnants of the enemy, and the battle was carried out until midnight before the victory ended.
In this battle, the 117th Division killed and wounded more than 850 enemy and captured more than 2,500 enemy; destroyed and captured more than 200 tanks and cars, and more than 100 artillery pieces of various kinds. He created the record of annihilating the enemy and capturing the most in one battle per division of the Volunteer Army, and was commended by the general order of the Sino-DPRK joint command organ. The 349th Regiment, the 351st Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 350th Regiment were awarded the Third Class Of Collective Merit.
The victory was unprecedented, and the cost was heavy, with more than 600 casualties in the 351st Regiment alone, including 72 cadres above the deputy platoon level.
The great victory of Hoengseong and the triumph of midnight have brought unprecedented joy and a sense of accomplishment to the commanders and fighters of this powerful brigade. The same is true of Peng Zhongtao. However, his heart was faintly aching. As soon as the battle was over, he went to several places where the wounded and martyrs were housed to visit his comrades who had sacrificed their youth, blood and lives for this victory. When he saw Zhao Xigang, the commander of the 1st Battalion, who had come with him from the anti-Japanese flames, still clenched his fist with his right hand after his death; Cao Genfu, the instructor of the 5th Company, was still holding a lock of the enemy's hair in his hand, this man who had experienced hundreds of battles and rarely shed tears could not cry. Ruthless may not be really haojie, there are tears how not husbands.
Seeing that there was blood on their faces, he instructed his entourage: "Get some water and scrub them clean." After saying that, he came to the middle of the wounded again, and saw Zou Jinzhang, the instructor of the 2nd Battalion, who leaned down and called: "Jinzhang, Jinzhang!" "This old political worker, who was a pioneer on the battlefield and was very good at propaganda and agitation, was seriously injured in the head and abdomen. Hearing the cry, he opened his eyes and looked. This old comrade-in-arms who shared his affection for him was ultimately unable to defeat death. Commissar Peng was silent for a long time after learning about it... Tears are like floodgates, and reason can no longer control them.
After the war, he wrote this masterpiece with passion, sincerity and affection:
Tsurutani is in a hurry, and he is brave and heroic.
The mountain fights the tiger, and the dangerous beach binds the dragon.
Blue blood wept the heavens and the earth, and arrogance ran through the sky.
The loyal soul went by the wind, and Qingshi left his name.
My generation of survivors, sworn to the end of the unfinished work.
I wish to future generations and not to forget the martyrdom.
After the end of the Fourth Campaign, Peng Zhongtao was promoted to director of the Political Department of the 117th Division.
In accordance with the orders of the Central Military Commission, he led 20,000 troops to the battlefield of Aid Vietnam
Building bridges and roads to aid neighboring countries;
Bad waters and dangerous mountains become smooth.
In March 1965, Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh came to Changsha to visit Chairman Mao. Two old friends were nagging at Xingtou, and Chairman Hu said, "I still have to ask you for help with something." Chairman Mao said: "We are comrades and brothers. President Hu took out a small map from his pocket with 12 red lines drawn on it. He pointed to the map and said: "In order to ensure the transportation of strategic materials on the anti-US front, I want to ask China to help build several roads." Chairman Mao immediately agreed with his mouth and instructed Premier Zhou and Luo Ruiqing to implement it.
In late July, Peng Zhongtao (deputy political commissar of the 39th Army) was squatting at the grassroots level. On August 2, he received a call from the military commander Zhang Feng, asking him to come back tomorrow to study something important. The next day when he returned to the army, Political Commissar Chen Shaokun told him: The Central Military Commission has decided to set up several detachments to aid Vietnam, the Shenyang Military Region has set up a fifth detachment, and Political Commissar Lai and Commander Chen will appoint you as political commissar. Peng said: "I haven't been on the battlefield for many years, and now I am also an old knife rust, which is difficult to compare with that year." Instead of sitting and waiting for old age, it is better to go out again when the prime of life is not over. ”
A few days later, the head of the detachment and the organs assembled at Yingkou on standby. In addition to the 7th Engineer Regiment, the other two regiments were formed by cadres and backbone cadres drawn from various armies and brigade police.
On August 19, detachment leader Xu Chenggong and political commissar Peng Zhongtao led some of them to board the bus from Yingkou, Shenyang, Changchun and other places. All the way over the mountains, in early September arrived in Yunnan Wenshan Autonomous Prefecture. Troops are replenished and reorganized here, and equipment is received. The 5 detachments have 5 organized regiments, namely the 307th and 308th Regiments of the Shenyang Military Region, the 7th Engineer Regiment, the 144th Regiment of the Nanjing Military Region, and the 311st Regiment of the Kunming Military Region. The regiment has 5 battalions, 5 directly subordinate companies and post-administrative organs. The new regiment has a strength of 4,100 people.
During his stay in Yunnan, General Director Luo listened to a report on the formation of various detachments. Commander Qin Jiwei of the Kunming Military Region invited the principal leaders of the various detachments to a banquet. After the meal, arrange for everyone to visit the scenery of Kunming. When he came to Dianchi Lake, Peng Zhongtao, who had the temperament of a poet, stood on the peak of the West Peak, looking at the vast smoke waves, the water and the sky were colorful, the wind was light, and the silver sparkling Dianchi Lake was born.
Overlooking Dianchi Lake for three hundred miles, the white sails and green trees reflect the sunset.
The extremely slim heaven and earth are condensed, and the huge jade disk is thrown by anyone?
Mo Dao was not happy here, and he heard the south Sea sounding the waves.
At that time, the land of China was "wide on both sides of the tide, and the flat is hanging in the sails." However, Vietnam is a difficult time for the "South China Sea to sound the waves".
History sometimes bears striking similarities. On October 19, 1951, Peng Zhongtao led nearly 3,000 men and horses to cross the river to fight abroad. The earth circled the sun 15 times, and on October 19, 1965, Peng Zhongtao led 21,000 troops into Vietnam to build roads and bridges.
On this day, the 5 detachments of soldiers set off from Wenshan in two ways, crossed the Red River to the Old Street and the River River to camp.
When the troops arrived here, they first faced the test of the living environment such as hot climate, torrential rain and flash floods, low-altitude rolling thunder, locusts everywhere, and poisonous snakes scurrying around. According to historical records, the incidence of French invasion of Vietnam that year reached 43%, which was 4 times that of combat casualties; the incidence of the US army was also more than 30%. Some officers and men said: "We have planes in the sky, locusts in the ground, mosquitoes in the air, and poisonous snakes in the grass. At one time, the ideological fluctuations of the troops were relatively large, and Political Commissar Peng and the Political Department studied and decided to grasp the issues of "life and death, bitterness and happiness, and long and short" as the central link in the ideological and political work of the troops. We should adopt the aim of studying the "Mao zhuan" in a targeted manner, party members taking the lead in setting an example, setting up a typical model for study, and conducting in-depth ideological education on the "five great representative teams" (representing the great leader, the motherland, the party, the people, and the army), so as to arouse the revolutionary spirit of officers and men who are not afraid of hardships and hardships, and who are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. At the same time, specific measures have been taken to prevent air defense, flooding, lightning, snake, mosquitoes, and locusts.
The five detachments began to undertake two tasks: One was to ensure the smooth flow of Route 6, which was responsible for the 7th Engineer Regiment. The second is the construction of the no. 7 road, which is 102 kilometers long and is undertaken by the other 4 regiments in sections to complete the task within one year. Before the start of construction, the detachment held an enlarged meeting of the party committee and proposed anti-bombing, rushing to the dry season, drilling technology, and tackling difficulties. Issues such as air defense and air combat and the strengthening of military discipline were also studied.
After the start of construction, in order to break through the technical difficulties, Xu Detachment Leader went down to the grass-roots level with several deputy posts, took the battalion as the unit, adopted the method of combining explanation with on-site operation, and trained the grass-roots cadres and backbone cadres in stages and batches. After the technical problems were solved, the problem of the supply of the bottom gravel was not available, mainly because there were few crushers and often failed. The detachment mobilized everyone to come up with ideas to find a way. A warrior retrieved a pile of pebbles from the riverbed, which was tested to be a resistance factor that could be used in place of rubble. This not only solves the problem of stoppage and waiting for materials, but also saves quarrying costs.
The old contradictions have been solved, and the new problems have come to install the imperial carriages all by the soldiers, which is tiring and time-consuming. The 307th Regiment Transport Company can automatically unload the car and set up a loading platform in the quarry to solve the problem of automatic loading. This not only saves time and effort, but also increases efficiency several times. This innovative technology was promoted throughout the team.
Bridging is much more complicated and difficult than building roads. When bridge 5 was being built, it was just about to be poured with a formwork when it was suddenly washed away by a torrential rain. This has become commonplace.
But even harder is hoisting bridges. In the absence of a heavy crane and a gantry, the difficulty of hoisting tens of tons of girders on the piers can be imagined, and several trial hoisting has not been successful. In order to overcome this problem, Peng Zheng's client invited two experts from China. Adopting the method of joint tackling key problems by experts and leaders, technicians, and officers and men at the grass-roots level, a "herringbone winches" device was created. Tie the ends of the girder to a wire rope and pull the girder through the pulleys of the two herringbone frames. The hoisting commando team took turns in shifts, and finally the girder was hoisted into place.
In the early spring of 1966, Johnson's thief eyes in the White House peeped into Vietnam and ordered groups of bombers to bomb along the road. On October 3, the section of the 2nd Battalion of the 308th Regiment was blown up. The next day, the 5th Company rushed to the scene to repair it, and the enemy plane suddenly stole in at a low altitude, and the bombs and rockets roared down, splashing mud and gravel everywhere. Company Commander Fan Zhangwen and Instructor Sun Maohua rushed to the scene desperately, and in front of them were the remains of comrades with blurred flesh and blood and wounded comrades. The shovels were also blown away, and they led the warriors to jump into the crater and use their hands to pick them up. After 40 minutes of hard work, he finally pulled out his comrades-in-arms. The bombing claimed the lives of 9 officers and soldiers.
On November 20, enemy aircraft dropped more than 20 bombs on the 1st Battalion section, four of which landed near Bridge 8. If not eliminated as soon as possible, the bridge will be destroyed. At this critical juncture, the companies are scrambling to eliminate danger. 1 Company said that the bombs fell on the road section of our company and that only we could drain them. The 4th Company said they had experience in discharging ammunition, and they were none other than them. Finally, the battalion commander gave the task to the 1st Company, and the 4th Company sent someone to guide it. Jia Xueming, commander of the 1st Company, jumped into the bomb crater several meters deep with the personnel of the platoon to determine the model and depth of the bomb. Subsequently, the excavation was organized, and after 3 hours of hard fighting, 3 pieces were excluded. When the 4th was ranked, there was a sudden loud noise, and Jia Xueming and 8 other comrades disappeared in the soaring air, and they never returned to the team.
Brave company commanders, heroic warriors, who keep their lives to others and their deaths to themselves, how noble and tragic this quality and behavior is!
Route 6, which was built by French colonists in the 1930s, is 177 kilometers long, spanning 59 large and small rivers, with a total of 41 bridges, and is one of the main traffic arteries in northern Vietnam. When the 7th Regiment first arrived, most of the bridges on Route 6 were blown up. The Vietnamese side can only use the 200-meter water surface of the Lujiang River to solve the problem by boat ferry at night, which seriously affects the supply guarantee of frontline materials. Chen Zongxian, deputy commander of the regiment, led the 1st Battalion and the Zhouqiao Company to arrive first, and after several hours of assault, a mobile pontoon bridge was erected. Every day, the bridge is pulled to the two banks of the river for concealment, and at night, the bridge is closed to ensure the passage of vehicles. The 1st Battalion braved enemy air raids and held out here for 118 days.
Since the 7th Regiment entered Route 6, enemy planes have dropped 783 heavy bombs on key bridges and major crossings, and used giant rat rockets to attack our ground targets and air defense high-altitude aircraft detachments. With the heroic spirit of "daring to compete with evil spirits and not yielding to the overlords," the officers and men of the whole regiment always maintained the smooth flow of this traffic artery by blowing me up during the day and repairing me on a sunny day and raining days by blowing me up during the day.
Vietnam, the strongest team, fought for more than 1,000 days and nights (34 months), and successfully completed the construction of Routes 7 and 11 and the smooth passage of Route 6. A total of more than 470 air-to-air operations were conducted, with a total of 32 enemy aircraft shot down and 76 damaged. The team suffered more than 530 casualties, of which 241 were killed, an average of 1.7 casualties per kilometer. It can be said that:
Twenty thousand troops, rain guns, life and death by struggle;
Three roads, enlisted in iron blood, and the traffic of vehicles is mercedtful.
In August 1968, with the completion of road construction and clearance tasks and the "double victory" of air combat, the 5 detachments marched from a foreign country to the motherland with a triumphant heroic posture, and she was like a child who had obtained excellent results and was happy to meet her parents.
The old chief's Yin Yin sustenance
When people are old, they want to remember the past, and so do I. As I write this, I recall several past encounters with the old chief.
One day in early May 1970, Feng Kezhou, a nurse of the 75th Artillery Company of the 344th Regiment, stopped the horses and rescued the masses in the garrison, which caused a great reaction in the garrison. Liu Zhanliang, deputy director of the Political Department, asked Zheng Qirang, deputy director of the Propaganda Unit, to take me (the probationary officer) to find out. The two of us went for two days and came back to write the material "A Good Soldier Who Fights to Save the Masses In Spite of His Body." After reporting to the army, Political Commissar Peng gave instructions after reading it. The regiment sent me to the army to pick up the approvals. That time, too, I met the military chief. He read a long passage of text on the side of the material. I remember one of the sentences: "Feng Kezhou is a good warrior who is usually willing to endure hardships and dares to stand up in times of danger, and he must summarize and publicize." Only when cadres and fighters have this spirit of "not being afraid of suffering and not being afraid of death" can the troops have combat effectiveness, heroes, and victories in battles. Later, a minister from the military district listened to Feng Kezhou's deeds and praised him as a "good soldier who insisted on continuing the revolution." This material was raised several times and introduced at the "JidaiHui" of the military region. The same material, the understanding of the difference is so great. Which one is more realistic? It goes without saying.
In July 1977, Commissar Peng studied the problem of "six companies of hard bones" and went to the 343 regiment to investigate. Tang Wenhui, political commissar of the 115th Division, went to accompany him, and I, as a secretary, followed suit. During the investigation, Political Commissar Peng went through methods and channels such as talking with cadres of the regiment and battalion company and going down to the battalion company platoon to check the facts, find out the truth, and seek practical measures. I remember that when he exchanged views with the political commissar of Tang and the political commissar of the 343rd regiment leader, he said that to study the "six companies of hard bones," we should use our strength on the word "hard." It must be embodied in strong political ideology, excellent discipline and work style, and excellent military technology. To build an excellent company, it is necessary to have a contingent of party members who play an exemplary vanguard role, to establish and improve a set of effective rules and regulations, and to train and train a number of top military and technical figures. I was deeply impressed by the military chief's style of "sticking a pole to the end" and his spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic and not talking about nothing.
In July 1988, when I was the political commissar of the Tank Regiment of the 115th Division (stationed in Pulandian), the old chief who had retired from the post of political commissar of the brigade's large security (the main regiment) made a special trip to visit the troops one day. After entering the hospital, I accompanied him around the camp. Coming upstairs to the conference room, I briefed him on some of the troops, and he asked a few questions. Then he said, "The 39th Army is the mother army that nurtured me to grow up, the love of flesh and blood!" Although people have left, their hearts have always longed for the old troops. Then he said, now that the troops are engaged in some production and operation, what are you doing? I said do some labor and space rental. Some of the money earned was used to renovate barracks and install heating. He said it was good and used in the right place. He went on to say that it was right to let the troops be patient, live too tightly, and engage in some production to save themselves. However, it is not a good idea to go into business and do business, nor is it a long-term solution, and it is easy to ruin the atmosphere of the troops if they are not good.
The old chief did not stick to the wine, and ate a light meal at noon. In middle age I let him sleep for a while. When he was leaving in the afternoon, I took out my notebook and pen and asked him to write me a few words as a souvenir. He thought for a moment and wrote:
Profit the nation lives and dies,
Do not avoid it because of misfortune?
These two sentences can now be said to be known to women and children, but very few people knew them at that time. I think this may be the motto of the old chief's life! It is also a sustenance and high hope for me as a small character.
After that farewell, I never saw this respected old chief again.
On March 7, 2009, the old man quietly and peacefully walked away with endless nostalgia and a gentle spring breeze, at the age of 89.
He went to the ancient capital of Luoyang to admire the splendid peonies; he went to the hometown of "facing the thousand bamboo greens of Luoshui and the red leaves of Qishan Mountain" and went to visit his fathers and fellow countrymen who had been away for a long time; he went to the foot of the green mountain and reunited with his old mother...
Shocked by this bad news, I was silent for a long time, and then i wrote a letter of condolence for the respected old chief:
Decades of military horses, both literature and martial arts, and the history of meritorious battles;
Throughout his life, Dan Chen has both ability and political integrity, and his reputation is full of military camps.
In the process of reviewing and revising this manuscript, Comrade Jia Ruizhen, the old director of my department, carefully read Peng Zhongtao's "Spring and Autumn of beacon fire", and there were many feelings, and a special poem is now copied as follows, as the pressurized work of this article.
Unwind in the flames and follow the chief in the footsteps.
Yu xi tossed pen Ling Yunzhi, Northern Jiangsu Tuwu test sword feng.
Zhan Jin Zhan Jin flew on horseback, aided The DPRK and aided Yue Yong to slaughter the dragon.
You Zhen horseback poetry is expensive, and the battlefield heart is full of soldiers.
