Peng Dehuai and Huang Kecheng, two hard-boned generals, although they have similar personalities, have made them extraordinary friends with their tenacity and bravery in historical storms again and again. This special friendship carries the tenacity and bravery of the Red Army period, and also deeply reflects the persistence and loyalty of the two leaders.
Their fate began during the Red Army period, but at first, Peng Dehuai did not have a good impression of Huang Kecheng. In early 1930, Huang Kecheng was transferred to the Red 5th Army under Peng Dehuai, at a time when the central government was implementing the "Lisan Line", advocating attacking large cities and engaging in head-on confrontations. Most of the generals were enthusiastic about this plan, planning the route and timing of the attack on Wuhan. However, Huang Kecheng saw the difficulty of the actual situation, and he understood that it was a difficult task to capture Wuhan, and even if he did, it would be difficult to hold, and the gain was not worth the loss. Therefore, he stood up, rationally analyzed the situation, and "poured cold water on everyone."
This move caused dissatisfaction among others, who believed that Huang Kecheng lacked enthusiasm but could not shake his position. Even in the face of pressure from his leaders, Huang Kecheng unwaveringly insisted on his views. This persistence is sometimes unpleasant, but it has earned Peng Dehuai's respect. Peng Dehuai once approached Huang Kecheng, hoping that he would change his opinion and align himself with others. However, Huang Kecheng firmly pointed out that under the current circumstances, going to fight Wuhan is not to strive for victory, but to let comrades send them to death. This made Peng Dehuai sigh, he understood this, but due to the order of the central government and the enthusiasm of other generals, he could not change the situation. Huang Kecheng's indomitability and sharpness made Peng Dehuai see his younger self, so he patted Huang Kecheng's shoulder without saying more. However, after the meeting, Huang Kecheng's performance was reported to Li Lisan by others, resulting in the decision to appoint him as the leader of the 3rd Column of the 5th Red Army being reversed.
Huang continued to adhere to his principles in later years, such as in the Ganzhou Campaign of 1932, when he firmly opposed the plan to attack the fortification, believing that it would cause huge losses. However, these suggestions were not adopted, and as a result, the Ganzhou campaign became extremely difficult. At the concluding meeting, Huang Kecheng once again bluntly criticized Peng Dehuai for being too aggressive, which made the atmosphere of the meeting very embarrassing. Peng Dehuai even threatened to expel Huang Kecheng from the Red Army, but Huang Kecheng still did not change his original intentions and was not affected by external pressure.
However, over time, Peng Dehuai began to appreciate Huang Kecheng's determined character, and Huang Kecheng gradually respected Peng Dehuai's leadership and talents. This mutual respect and understanding makes them close friends. Although the two were not on the same battlefield during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, their friendship remained.
In 1958, there was an anti-"dogmatism" and "individualism" movement in China, and Peng Dehuai and Huang Kecheng were on the same front, supporting criticism of other leaders, such as Su Yu and Xiao Ke. However, just a year later, Peng Dehuai himself fell into turmoil because of a letter. In the anger of the leadership, Huang Kecheng was the first to stand up and criticize Peng Dehuai. During the panel discussion, he offered constructive suggestions, and while most people thought Peng's letter was public and beneficial to the country, the anger of the leadership complicated everything. However, Huang Kecheng did not bow his head, he always believed that the questions raised by Peng Dehuai were objective, and insisted on his own views.
In 1974, Peng Dehuai died, and Huang Kecheng burst into tears when he learned the news. Although they never saw each other again, they still missed each other. Huang Kecheng once said: "For a long time, I used to be with him in my dreams. And Peng Dehuai asked his niece Peng Meikui at the last moment of his life, hoping to have the opportunity to see Huang Kecheng again.
This friendship of perseverance and loyalty bears witness to the unremitting efforts and adherence to the ideals of the two great leaders. They may have had disputes in the political arena, but they are true friends in the face of friendship.
