In 1994, Chen Yun, who was recuperating at home and retired from the central leadership for many years, received a special letter of help, the recipient was a special identity, Lin Biao's eldest daughter Lin Xiaolin.
After learning that it was Lin Xiaolin who asked for help, Chen Yun was somewhat surprised, and he did not understand how someone could write to him for help, as an idle person who had not asked about the world for many years and gradually stepped into the old-age life, after all, the country had entered the third-generation central leading collective with Jiang Zemin as the core.
Immediately, Chen Yun opened the letter of help written by Lin Xiaolin, in which Lin Xiaolin made two requests to Chen Yun to let Chen Yun help.
After seeing these two demands put forward by Lin Xiaolin, Chen Yun suddenly realized why Lin Xiaolin wanted to look for him instead of looking for others.
So, in Lin Xiaolin's urgent letter, what two requests were made? In the face of Lin Xiaolin's request, what will Chen Yun do?
Lin Xiaolin
The person who wrote the letter, Lin Xiaolin, was the eldest daughter of Lin Biao and Zhang Mei (formerly known as Liu Xinmin).
Zhang Mei is Lin Biao's de facto first wife, who looked outstanding when she was young, and was praised by the world as "a flower in northern Shaanxi", and was a goddess in the minds of many men.
Since Lin Biao first saw her, he was deeply fascinated by Zhang Mei's spontaneity and liveliness.
Lin Biao is a taciturn person, quiet personality has created his inner loneliness, he has always hoped that a lively and talkative girl likes him and takes him out of his inner loneliness.
In this way, Lin Biao, who liked Zhang Mei, began to boldly pursue Zhang Mei, picked this famous flower in northern Shaanxi, and married Zhang Mei back home.
Lin Biao
Shortly after the marriage, Zhang Mei became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, but the good news was that the boy was born prematurely, and he was weak and sick since birth, and died two months before he came to the world.
Zhang Mei, who lost her child, was once very mentally painful, and Lin Biao in this period went to the Soviet Union for medical treatment, unable to accompany her side, under the pain of this mental depression, Zhang Mei took a special plane to the Soviet Union, one is to see Lin Biao's injury and illness, and the other is to divert attention to alleviate the pain of losing her child.
After Zhang Mei arrived in Moscow, Lin Biao was very distressed about her, no matter what she asked, he would try to meet her, just like this, Zhang Mei walked through the barrier of losing her child under the care of Lin Biao and began to live a good life.
The two of them were in Moscow, both in residence and food, were arranged very properly, living a comfortable and sweet life, and Zhang Mei also became pregnant again during this period, giving birth to her eldest daughter Lin Xiaolin in the Soviet Union.
Lin Biao is very fond of his daughter, under the care and care of Lin Biao, Lin Xiaolin's childhood was both happy and happy, however, Lin Xiaolin's happy childhood time was like a flash in the pan, extremely short.
A few years after Lin Xiaolin was born, Lin Biao and Zhang Mei's relationship went wrong. Lin Biao is a person who is not very active and likes to be quiet, and he hopes that his wife can stay by his side day and night and accompany him more; The personalities of Zhang Mei and Lin Biao are diametrically opposite, she has a lively and active personality, always hanging out at home, often going out to play with friends.
In this way, Lin Biao and Zhang Mei parted ways because of their incompatible personalities, and after that, Lin Xiaolin lived with his mother Zhang Mei, until the world was at peace, and he returned to his father Lin Biao after the founding of the country, and at that time Lin Biao had already married another person.
Although Lin Biao and Zhang Mei are divorced, they still care for their daughter Lin Xiaolin as before, and therefore, Lin Xiaolin, who has grown up, has a very deep feeling for Lin Biao's father, and she is grateful to Lin Biao for taking care of her and shielding her from the wind and rain, no matter what, this father-daughter relationship cannot be broken and cannot be given up.
Later, after Lin Xiaolin learned of the mistakes committed by his father, he felt that he could not stay out of the matter, so Lin Xiaolin ran around and personally went to the victim's home to apologize.
By the 1990s, when Lin Xiaolin was old, she felt that her physical condition was getting worse and worse, and she was becoming more and more unable to do things, in such a state, she remembered her father and wanted to do two more things for the army that her father had led before she died.
To this end, Lin Xiaolin sent a letter of help to Chen Yun, director of the Central Advisory Committee, and made two requests on the letter.
Chen yun
Two requests
In January 1994, Chen Yun received Lin Xiaolin's letter of help, and when the letter was opened, he saw two requests written on it:
First, I hope that Chen Yun can promote the writing of the history of the Four Fields.
Second, build the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall.
After seeing the contents of the letter, Chen Yun suddenly realized why Lin Xiaolin wrote a letter of help to him, at this time he was the director of the Central Advisory Committee, although he had long since withdrawn from the work of the central leadership, but he still had a certain influence in the central authorities, and sooner or later the matter of revising the history of the war would have to be done, and he could use his personal connections to promote this matter as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Lin Xiaolin may have taken into account that Chen Yun was senior, had followed the Communist Party to fight the world since the Red Army period, experienced the Red Army period, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the Liberation War, and was very familiar with the war situation, and Chen Yun was the most suitable candidate to promote this matter.
In fact, the reason why Lin Xiaolin put forward these two requirements is because the history of the Four Fields and related memorials have not attracted much attention, and the Four Fields are her father Lin Biao's troops, and they cannot let his father's mistakes affect the soldiers of the Four Fields.
In the war period, the Four Field Army is one of the main armies of the People's Liberation Army, and its battlefield is mainly in the northeast, and Lin Biao, who leads the four fields in combat, is even more known as the "general who always wins." Under the leadership of Lin Biao, the four fields have the fierce strength of daring to fight and fight, and the enemy army can not get benefits from the four fields with a fierce force that dares to fight and fight.
In September 1948, Siye took the lead in launching the Liaoshen Campaign, which opened a breakthrough for the liberation of New China, and subsequently, the Battle of Huaihai and the Battle of Pingjin were launched one after another, and the People's Liberation Army entered a period of all-round counter-offensive, defeating the Kuomintang army one by one.
The greatest achievement of the four fields is to liberate the entire territory of the northeast, take the northeast first, and return the northeast to the embrace of the motherland.
Many of the battles fought by Shino can be written into textbooks and studied as classic military courses.
In addition, Shino also produced many heroes.
According to relevant statistics, among the more than 1,600 generals who founded the country, there were 519 people who originally belonged to Shiye, including 2 marshals, 3 generals, 18 generals, 57 lieutenant generals, and 439 major generals, accounting for nearly one-third of the total number of generals.
It can be seen that the strength of the four fields does not rely on blowing, and in the main army of the People's Liberation Army, it is indeed strong.
During the Liberation War, Lin Biao was busy with the war, and there were only a few opportunities to meet with his daughter Lin Xiaolin, and Lin Xiaolin learned about his father from others every time.
When others mentioned their father, they would say in an appreciative tone: "Your father has won the battle again, his four wilds, but the bravest army in our army..."
Lin Xiaolin grew up listening to the story of her father's war, she was born in the era of war, witnessed the cruelty of war, witnessed the history of her father leading Siye to seize the northeast, fighting with his brother troops, laying down the Jiangshan and founding New China.
The war history of Nino has been published, the writing of Ichino and Mino is also in progress, only the writing of the war history of Shino has not made the slightest progress, Lin Xiaolin does not want Shino's merits to be buried by his father's mistakes, and wants to promote the writing of the history of Shino.
In addition, Lin Xiaolin also wanted to promote the construction of the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall, because after the liberation of the entire northeast of China, Siye waved his army to North China, jointly launched the Pingjin Campaign with the North China Military Region, assisted the North China Military Region in combat, and liberated the entire territory of North China as quickly as possible.
In this way, Lin Xiaolin wrote a letter to Chen Yun and asked him to help.
In the face of Lin Biao's daughter's request, how did Chen Yun do?
"Siye is Siye, Lin Biao is Lin Biao, and the two cannot be confused."
This is a sentence that Chen Yun once said when compiling the book "The Decisive Battle of Liaoshen", and he and Lin Xiaolin had the same idea, believing that the merits of the Siye army could not be buried because of Lin Biao's personal fault, and Siye, like other main forces, was fairly evaluated.
After receiving the letter from Lin Xiaolin, Chen Yun immediately decided to agree to Lin Xiaolin's request and began to vigorously promote the revision of the history of the Four Fields and the construction of the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall.
To this end, Chen Yun made a phone call to Hong Xuezhi and told his old comrade-in-arms about the matter and asked him to help.
Hong Xuezhi
Hong Xuezhi is the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and he has fought side by side with Chen Yun, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has worked under Chen Yun, and Chen Yun is still his old superior.
After receiving Chen Yun's call, the two made an appointment to meet, and on the day of the meeting, before Hong Xuezhi had time to say a few kind words to the old leader, Chen Yun said straight to the point:
"To tell you the truth, I have one thing to trouble you, before I received a letter from Lin Xiaolin, she is Lin Biao's daughter, you should know, she expressed in the letter that she hopes that the construction of the Four Fields History and the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall can be promoted as soon as possible.
At first, Hong Xuezhi felt that the weight of this task was too heavy, and he could not take on this big responsibility, so he quickly refused.
When Chen Yun saw that he was pushing back, he was a little unhappy and persuaded him again.
Under the persuasion of Chen Yun, Hong Xuezhi was silent for a while, and finally responded to the matter, and the two requests proposed by Lin Xiaolin were also put on the agenda at the moment when Hong Xuezhi agreed to help.
In fact, Hong Xuezhi was also from Siye and was the commander of a column of the Siye Army, presumably, Chen Yun found him precisely because of this layer of Hong Xuezhi's identity, and Hong Xuezhi may also agree to help because of his own identity, and began to promote the compilation of the history of the Four Fields and the construction of the Pingjin Memorial Hall.
After this, Hong Xuezhi drafted a request for the compilation of the history of the Four Fields and the construction of the Memorial Hall of the Battle of Pingjin, and submitted this request to the Central Military Commission.
After this request was put forward by Hong Xuezhi, it aroused the great attention of the leaders of the Central Military Commission; after the proposal was voted and approved, the Central Military Commission specially set up a leading group for compiling the history of the four fields in order to ensure that the content of the war history was fair and correct, and Hong Xuezhi, who proposed to compile the history of the war, was elected as the leader of the group, and he had full authority to control the content of the war history.
As for the construction of the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall, it was also put on the agenda by the central authorities.
Because Peiping was peacefully liberated and had not experienced a large-scale war, the memorial hall of the Battle of Pingjin was set in Tianjin, and in the Battle of Pingjin, only the Battle of Tianjin was the most intense, and this was also a battle in which both the enemy and us suffered greater losses.
It is for this reason that Hong Xuezhi chose the location of the museum in Tianjin.
In 1997, the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall was completed in the Hongqiao District of Tianjin, and the history of the Four Fields was also being compiled.
On March 1, 2007, the People's Liberation Army Publishing House published the first edition of "The Combat History of the Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army", and the contents of the whole book were divided into thirteen chapters, from "developing to the north and defending to the south" to the northeast development, to the final liberation of Hainan Island, the suppression of bandits, and the end of participating in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
After learning that the history of the four fields had been compiled and published, Lin Xiaolin could not wait to buy a copy, read it carefully, did not let go of every word in the book, and as he read it, Lin Xiaolin's eyes suddenly became moist, and with the participation of Hong Xuezhi and other revolutionary soldiers of the older generation, the content of the history of the four fields was objective and true, which made Lin Xiaolin very moved.
However, it is a pity that Hong Xuezhi, who was mainly responsible for compiling the history of the Four Fields, died in November 2006, and he could not read the published "History of the Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army", the history of the Four Fields was led by Hong Xuezhi and was something that Hong Xuezhi was worried about before his death, and the history of the Four Fields was published in 2007.
