More than forty years ago, in 1973, memories of a war zone were revived, painting a thrilling picture of history. The protagonist of this story, founding Major General Ding Sheng, has been transferred from the Guangzhou Military Region to the Nanjing Military Region as commander. However, Nanjing was not his hometown, and when he first arrived in Nanjing, Ding Sheng's first step was not to enter the headquarters of the military region, but to visit an old general.
The old general's name was Wang Ping, a founding general, several years older than Ding Sheng, and was Ding Sheng's comrade-in-arms and big brother. The two generals had different battlefield experiences in the combat history of the Red Army, Wang Ping fought bloody battles in the North China battlefield, and Ding Sheng was a tiger general of the Northeast Field Army. Even so, their fates converged during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, with Wang Ping and Yang Yong commanding the 20th Corps of the Chinese Volunteers to fight in Korea, while Ding Sheng, the commander of the 54th Army, was also on the front line in Korea.
However, it is worth noting that the 54th Army was not originally subordinate to the 20th Corps until the critical moment of the Battle of Jincheng , when the PVA commander decided to put the 54th Army under the command of the 20th Corps. This made Wang Ping Ding Sheng's superior, jointly formulating battle plans and assigning combat tasks to all armies. Ding Sheng was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the 54th Army, and their outstanding performance in the Battle of Jincheng turned them into ace troops to win the battle. It is this common history that makes Ding Sheng full of respect for Wang Ping.
However, when Ding Sheng went to the Nanjing Military Region to become commander, Wang Ping's life was not satisfactory. Wang Ping originally served as a political commissar at the Nanjing Military Academy, but because of his involvement with Peng Dehuai, he was forced to suspend his post and disappeared for many years. It was not until 1972 that Wang Ping's family wrote to Premier Zhou requesting that Wang Ping's rights and interests be restored.
With Premier Zhou's intervention, Wang Ping finally returned home and was reunited with his family. However, he was still restricted by the Nanjing Military Region and could only operate within the city limits of Nanjing. To leave Nanjing, one must apply to the military region for leave and obtain approval. Wang Ping could only apply to the military region by phone to send a car to go out. Although the military district allowed him to view general documents, he had to go to the office of the task force to check them and was even warned by the military district for expressing his views.
During his year in Nanjing, Wang Ping had almost no work to do, and his identity fell into a semi-free state. Many military district leaders deliberately distanced themselves from him, did not associate with him, and did not allow him to participate in any activities. Wang Ping hardly appears in public again.
However, at this time, the deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region, Zhan Danan, a founding major general, was particularly concerned about Wang Ping. Although he did not dare to visit Wang Ping in person, he had secretly sent someone to deliver some food to Wang Ping's home. This concern deeply touched Wang Ping.
However, the sudden scene was shocking. Ding Sheng, known for his bold and resolute character, decided desperately to visit Wang Ping. When someone tried to stop him, Ding Sheng angrily reproached the secretary and said firmly: "I am going to visit the old chief, what is inappropriate." "Wang Ping was his old chief, and he naturally wouldn't back down.
Ding Sheng's nickname "Ding Daring" was widely known, even to Chairman Mao and Lin Biao. His audacity was not only outstanding on the battlefield, but also in everyday life. He decided to go to see Wang Ping, no matter what the outside world thought, he didn't care.
Therefore, when Wang Ping had just returned to Nanjing from Beijing, Ding Sheng went to visit him and asked him about his recent situation with concern, which made Wang Ping feel warm. Dante Sheng was not just a simple ceremonial visit. He invited Wang Ping to his home for dinner, watched television, and even participated in film screenings in the military region. When the central document was delivered, Ding Sheng also personally invited Wang Ping to join, giving him unprecedented freedom.
Under Ding Sheng's initiative, Wang Ping gradually reintegrated into public life. Others began to visit him, and he was free to move outside Nanjing without having to take any more leave. This situation was unprecedented, allowing Wang Ping to regain his own dignity.
