The great leader Chairman Mao, in his last years, issued an important document of the CPC Central Committee.
The chairman decided to entrust full military power to Chen Xilian. Such a change made everyone talk about it for a while. Before this, all the work of the Central Military Commission was under the responsibility of Marshal Ye Jianying. Compared with Marshal Ye, Chen Xilian could not be regarded as the best client.

So why did Chairman Mao entrust such an important post to Chen Xilian? Why was Chen Xilian vigorously recommended by Chairman Mao?
Please like and pay attention, Xiaobian will take you to understand.
In 1976, New China was in a critical period of development. Chairman Mao's selection of Chen Xilian as the Central Military Commission was not a personal opinion, but was unanimously discussed and decided by all members of the CPC Central Committee through the CPC Central Committee. At that time, Premier Zhou and President Zhu died one after another, and Chairman Mao's physical condition was also declining day by day. Hua Guofeng and Deng Gong were also too busy dealing with major incidents within the central government to manage the affairs of the Central Military Commission. The most suitable Marshal Ye Jianying asked Chairman Mao to resign in advance because of the wounds left on the battlefield in the early years.
Chairman Mao also knew the physical condition of his old man. He did not want marshal Ye to continue to work, so he agreed to marshal Ye's resignation. Under the influence of various factors, Chairman Mao has considered it again and again, and Chen Xilian, who holds such an important position at present, is naturally the best choice.
Chen Xilian
In 1976, for Chen Xilian, it was an important turning point in his life. After receiving the No. 1 document of the Central Committee, the commanders of the three armed forces were immediately appointed. Chen Xilian did not look too excited, but more like a heavy burden pressed on his shoulders. This document is more like a responsibility! The army is the core strength of a country, and the command of the three armed forces cannot be sloppy.
Before Chen Xilian was appointed, he always felt that marshal Ye, the founding father of the people, was the best choice. When he saw the No. 1 document, he clearly stated that Marshal Ye had retired due to illness, so this important work needed to be shouldered by Chen Xilian. After the issuance of document No. 1, Marshal Ye seemed to have really retired, and only occasionally attended the Central Committee meeting. He also never meddles in anything in the military. However, whenever there was an important event, Chen Xilian would still consult with Marshal Ye for the first time.
During Chen Xilian's appointment, through unremitting efforts, the mainland's national defense industry achieved remarkable results. This also proves that Chairman Mao did not look at the wrong person at that time.
War of Resistance
In the early years, when Chen Xilian was a teenager, he heard that the Red Army was an army dedicated to serving the people, and he had the idea of becoming a soldier. After becoming a soldier, Chen Xilian made rapid progress in various military trainings. It has made great achievements many times. At the age of 18, he was already the political commissar in the battalion headquarters.
Chen Xilian, under a swift, accurate, and fierce blow to the enemy, even gained a resounding nickname of "small steel cannon"!
In 1937, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the land of China was full of life. When Chen Xilian served as the commander of a certain regiment of the Eighth Route Army, when he carried out a guerrilla attack on the Japanese army, a huge roar came from overhead. Looking up, the plane flew very low. Chen Xilian judged that the Japanese airfield was most likely nearby. So it was decided to take down the airport.
Blow up airplanes
So on the night of October 19, Chen Xilian organized soldiers to surround the Japanese airfield from all sides. With a single order, the Eighth Route Army launched a general offensive from all directions. In an instant, the entire airfield of the Japanese army was filled with gunfire. The Japanese planes were blown up one by one. Chen Xilian, as in the past, did not live up to the title of small steel cannon. The charge was at the forefront of Yangmingbao Airport.
In the fierce battle, Chen Xilian was shot in the shoulder and did not think so. The soldiers saw the regimental commander so heroic, and their morale was greatly increased in an instant! In less than an hour, the battle was easily resolved. It destroyed 24 Japanese planes and annihilated more than 200 enemy personnel. The 22-year-old became famous in World War I. He not only had the courage to charge, but also had a unique insight into military strategy. Again and again, we have made great achievements.
At that time, people evaluated him as a lord who fought a war and did not want to die. Chen Xilian dared to fight and rush in the Red Army. There is a thick and thin mind. In one fell swoop, it increased the prestige of the Eighth Route Army, and it became a well-known figure in the army.
Chiang Kai-shek plays Zhang Guoguo
When Lao Jiang used a large number of troops to suppress the Shaanxi Soviet region. Chen Xilian was ordered to go and fight an ambush. Lead the team to take advantage of the night and set up an ambush site. When the Nationalists entered the ambush circle, they were caught off guard. A large amount of armaments was seized. Chiang Kai-shek was so beaten that he had to abandon his plans.
Who wouldn't like such a brave and fierce general?
In the ensuing war, Chen Xilian successively participated in the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Dabie Mountain, and the Battle of Crossing the River. It made a significant contribution to the liberation of New China.
After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao hand-picked Chen Xilian as the commander of the PLA artillery. Later, he served as dean of the Artillery Academy. He devoted all his time to artillery and defense deployments. He traveled throughout many provinces, set up training bases to train artillery talents, and transported them to the Korean battlefield. He made remarkable contributions to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Chen Xilian was constantly entrusted with heavy responsibilities by the central authorities. No matter what position he holds, he can do a good job in the tasks entrusted to him by the state.
In 1976, Chairman Mao made a huge decision before his death, handing over military power to Chen Xi's joint efforts. At that time, many people did not understand, and there were many capable people, why would they choose Chen Xilian?
The reason why Chairman Mao chose him was not only his great achievements, but also Chen Xilian's attitude toward work and Chairman Mao's trust in him.
Facts have also verified that Chairman Mao was far-sighted and far-sighted.
Chen Xilian, who took over military power, fulfilled various tasks as expected. When everything was on the right track, Chen Xilian took the initiative to ask the central authorities to resign. Since then, he has not interfered with the relevant matters.
Chairman Mao plays Gu Yue
The tasks entrusted to him by Chairman Mao were also satisfactorily accomplished. He left more opportunities for the next generation.
From this point of view, Chairman Mao's choice at that time was also very correct. It is also because of such heroes that we have achieved a good life of happiness and well-being that we have now. Hats off to the heroes!
Well, today's sharing will go here first.
