introduction
In modern Chinese society, the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has never stopped, and under the guidance of socialist ideas, many revolutionary volunteers influenced by advanced ideological trends have voluntarily joined the ranks of the Communist Party.
Once, in 1947, a regimental commander of the Majia Army was captured by the communists, but in the face of such a high-ranking general as the enemy army, our army did not threaten him in any way, but the commander himself came forward and released him. So, who was the captured regimental commander? Why did our army make such a move?
body
During the Liberation War, there was a famous general of the Nationalist army in the northwest region of our country, Ma Hongbin, who was firmly stationed in the northwest region for the Kuomintang at that time, and he could be regarded as a fierce enemy for Commander Peng, who was mainly responsible for the liberation of the northwest region of our army. Since at that time, the military strength of the Nationalist army was stronger than that of the Platon Army, there were also many fierce wars between the Ma Family Army led by Ma Hongbin and the PLA.
In 1947, when the Battle of Longdong ended, our army accidentally captured Ma Dianbang, a regimental commander of the Ma family army, and at that time, after the news came out, the entire People's Liberation Army in the northwest region was very excited. After all, in addition to the identity of the regiment leader, Ma Dianbang is also Ma Hongbin's son-in-law, if you take him as a hostage, then it is also a good restraint for Ma Hongbin.
In the face of such an important prisoner, Commander Peng naturally attached great importance to it, and at that time, after Ma Dianbang was captured, Commander Peng personally came to the prisoner of war camp to visit this special prisoner. At the very beginning, Commander Peng did not reveal his identity, and because he looked very simple, Ma Dianbang did not take him to heart. Later, under the reprimand of the political commissar of our army, Ma Dianbang learned that this seemingly inconspicuous person was Commander-in-Chief Peng, a fierce enemy of ma jiajun.
After seeing Ma Dianbang, Commander Peng told everyone that he would release him back to Ma Jiajun, at that time, the PLA officers present were very shocked, and Ma Dianbang himself did not believe Commander Peng's words, he believed that there must be some unknown conspiracy behind such a decision. However, at this time, Commander Peng explained that the reason why he decided to release Ma Dianbang was only because Ma Hongbin's team had repelled the Japanese army twice, and this was also a great contribution to the whole of China. At this time, although Ma Dianbang still expressed doubts, he was still impressed by the mind of Commander-in-Chief Peng.
When Ma Dianbang was leaving, Commander Peng also gave him a horse and let him return to his territory smoothly. When Ma Hongbin learned of this matter, he did not have any suspicion of his son-in-law, and it can be seen that the truly excellent generals were very broad-minded, and later, because Ma Dianbang had a strong fighting ability, his official positions in the national army also rose one after another.
On September 19, 1949, Ma Dianbang and Commander Peng met again on the battlefield, in this war, Ma Dianbang did not insist on serving the nationalist army, but led an uprising and joined the ranks of the Communist Party, after which Ma Dianbang also became a fierce general under Commander Peng with his own strength.
epilogue:
From the incident in which Commander Peng let Ma Dianbang go, it can be seen that in the war years, the use of violent means to win people's hearts was actually of little use, but if we can win the trust of the enemy with our own personal actions, then in the end, the contradiction between the enemy and ourselves will be successfully resolved.
In fact, as far as the Communist Party was concerned, although at the very beginning there was a big gap between the strength of our Party and the Kuomintang, because our Party's beliefs were of a certain advanced nature, and our Party's revolutionary actions were also conducive to the development of China and the people, therefore, in the course of the War of Liberation, the popular base of the Communist Party was also constantly expanding, and in the end, our Party also succeeded in liberating China with the support of all quarters. From this period of revolutionary experience, we can realize that in the process of China's future development, we must also adhere to the socialist development path, so that China will become more and more powerful.
