Chen Xilian, a native of Hong'an County, Hubei Province, a founding general, and a senior general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, has been in the army for decades, and has made great achievements in battle in his life, and has made great contributions to the founding of the mainland. In the protracted revolutionary war, Chen Xilian had a very rich combat experience, was very good at overcoming those difficult hard battles and vicious battles, and was often able to surprise him and directly attack the Yellow Dragon and play a vital role.
Someone once commented on him like this: If you don't make a sound, you will be amazing, and you will fight some beautiful battles. Since the founding of New China, he has been transferred to the people's liberation army artillery commander, concurrently the president, fully guiding the development of artillery, in charge of the import, export and research and development of artillery equipment, and doing his best to contribute to the development of the new Chinese artillery cause, in addition, he also served as the commander of the major military regions in Shenyang and Beijing, was also appointed vice premier of the State Council, and also presided over the daily work of the Central Military Commission at that time as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission.
Who would have thought that such a brave and resourceful general would have bought an oil cake on the street because he was hungry, and was falsely accused by others and almost shot?
One. Follow the revolutionary ambitions unswervingly
Chen Xilian grew up living in a very poor mountainous area, the family for several generations of farmers, when Chen Xilian was three years old, his father unfortunately died, leaving his mother and four children to rely on each other, the top pillar of the family fell, making the family that was not rich in the first place even worse. The mother, alone, took on all the responsibilities and led his two older sisters and a younger brother to live a very hard life.
Chen Xilian has been very sensible since he was a child, and at a young age, he would often go to the homes of rich landlords in the village, herd cattle and sheep for them, save grain for the family, and not eat at home as much as possible, so that his mother would not work so hard to earn money to buy grain. But he was also a "temperamental" man, once, because he did a lot of heavy work during the day, tired at night, fell asleep, forgot to add grass to the landlord's cattle and sheep, was found by the landlord and beat up fiercely, he was not willing to endure, resolutely decided to leave the landlord's house, not to work for them. Later, when Chen Xilian was 14 years old, when the Red Army guerrillas passed through their village, he decided to join the Red Army, took advantage of his mother's sleep, looked at her mother with reluctance, turned and ran to the Red Army camp.
Since then, Chen Xilian has followed the Red Army all over the world as his home, where the Red Army is, where is his home, he dedicated his life to this great revolutionary cause, and followed the revolutionary unswervingly.
Two. Buying an oil cake, he was falsely accused of risking being shot, and Xu Xiangqian saved his life
Although Chen Xilian was very young and a junior in the army, since joining the Red Army, he had also made many achievements in the battlefield and specialized in winning battles.
However, in 1931, with the growing ranks of the Red Army, Zhang Guotao at this time was implementing a series of erroneous ideological policies in the Red Army. General Chen Xilian was once hungry and wanted to eat snacks on the street, so he and a group of friends went to the street to buy a few oil cakes to fill their hunger, and as a result, they were caught in the wind, saying that they organized a "eating and drinking committee" in violation of the policies and guidelines of their superiors and tried to be unfavorable to the Red Army. In this way, Zhang Guotao ordered that Chen Xilian be arrested and falsely accused him of being an anti-communist, and no matter how Chen Xilian explained, they just would not listen, and announced that they were ready to shoot Chen Xilian.
At this moment, Marshal Xu Qianqian heard about this, immediately found Zhang Guotao, and explained to Zhang Guotao: "A few little devils, hungry, want to eat something, how can you understand such a thing as a 'committee', you are mistaken." In the end, Xu Xiangqian personally saved Chen Xilian, and Chen Xilian was also very grateful to Marshal Xu, often saying that Marshal Xu Qianqian was his nobleman in life and a life-saving benefactor, and he would remember Marshal Xu's kindness for a lifetime.
Three. He spent his whole life fighting horses and bowing to the cause of the people
Chen Xilian was a particularly gifted person in the military field, and he once single-handedly guided the Yangmingbao airfield incident, destroyed another military stronghold of the Japanese army, and caused immeasurable losses to the Japanese army. During the Liberation War, Chen Xilian joined forces with his deputy Liu Changyi to lead our army to capture Suxian in one fell swoop, which was part of the famous Huaihai Campaign in history, known to the world as the Battle of Suxian with the effect of "finishing touches".
Throughout his life, Chen Xilian fought many victorious battles for our army, and even more so he bowed down to the cause of the people and dedicated his whole life.
