Preface
In 1971, the Central Committee convened a meeting of the Politburo, and Marshal Chen Yi came to the venue with his sick body and sat in his seat to calm down.
In recent years, he has often felt unwell, and this year's physical examination was finally found to have cancer. This is really a major blow to Marshal Chen Yi, who loves life.
The most difficult thing for him to give up is that his hopes for the motherland and infinite beauty have not been realized, and he still has all his talents to display. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents.
At this time, General Chen Xilian strode up to Marshal Chen Yi and sat down, and said with a serious expression: "Do you have an opinion about me!"
Chen Yi understood what was going on when he saw him, smiled bitterly and patted his hand, but did not speak.
What's going on here?
The growth of the Founding Marshal
Marshal Chen Yi was born in a small village in Lezhi, Sichuan, in the first year of the 20th century, and a brilliant life was about to begin.
Marshal Chen Yi's family background is good, and he can be regarded as a small surplus wealth in the local area, and when he registered his family background later, Marshal Chen Yi also wrote about a small landlord.
As a result, Marshal Chen Yi was able to receive an education earlier. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had not yet died, and even the imperial examination was still the only reliable way for ordinary people to enter. So when he was five years old, Marshal Chen Yi was sent by his parents to a private school in the countryside for enlightenment.
A few years later, the Qing Dynasty began to reform the school system, imitating the West in opening primary and secondary schools. At the age of 9, Chen Yi went to elementary school. After graduating from the Institute of Technology at the age of 19, Chen Yi set off for a work-study program in France.
This decision changed Chen Yi's life and China's future. When he was in Paris, Chen Yi met Premier Zhou and other early leaders of our party.
Premier Zhou was also young at that time, and welcomed all young people who were interested in saving the country. Chen Yi originally had the world in mind, coupled with his lively thinking, he soon became a core member of the small group and began to study Marxism.
In 1922, Chen Yi was escorted back to China by armed escort for beating the secretary of the minister in France. After that, he went to Chongqing to serve as the chief writer of newspapers and periodicals, and used his articles to propagate our party's ideology.
In November 1923, Chen Yi joined the party organization and served as the branch secretary of the Sino-French University. At that time, the common enemy of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was the Beiyang government, so Chen Yi served as the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Caucus in 1925 and also served as the Beijing Party Department of the Kuomintang.
In August 1926, Li Dazhao sent Chen Yi back to Sichuan to engage in armed movements. It was at this time that he met Zhu De, and the two marshals formed a deep friendship. At the end of that year, Chen Yi, together with Zhu De and Liu Bocheng, launched the Lushun Uprising. After the uprising, he went to Wuhan to serve as a clerk in the political department of the military-political school.
After the outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising, Chen Yi served as the political instructor of the 73rd Regiment and marched towards Guangdong with the army. When he arrived at Sanheba, he was ordered by Premier Zhou to stay behind with Zhu De. Unfortunately, in the end, the two could not resist the pursuing troops of the Kuomintang, so they had to withdraw to the Hunan and Jiangxi borders.
At the beginning of 1928, under the leadership of Chen Yi, he launched the Xiangnan Uprising, served as the party representative of the First Division, and initially established our party's base and armed forces in the Xiangnan region. In April of this year, Chen Yi joined forces with the army led by Chairman Mao and merged into the Fourth Army and served as the commander of the 12th Division. After the completion of the Jinggangshan Base Area, Chen Yi became the secretary of the Military Commission of the Fourth Army and became the main leader of our party.
In the summer of 1929, on the orders of the Central Committee, Chen Yi went to Shanghai to attend a military conference, briefing the comrades on the development history and construction experience of the Red Fourth Army, and helping other comrades build up armed forces in various regions.
Therefore, he was also designated as one of the three-member committees, including Premier Zhou, to convey the order of the Central Committee to the Red Fourth Army, asking Chairman Mao to preside over the meeting of the front committee. With the assistance of Chen Yi, Chairman Mao successfully convened the Gutian Conference and determined the purpose of our army's construction.
After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Yi has been holding important positions in the New Fourth Army, leading our army's anti-Japanese struggle in the southern region.
Climb the East Mountain and Xiaolu
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Yi served as the deputy secretary of our party's East China Bureau, and the army continued to serve as the commander of the New Fourth Army and the commander of the Shandong Military Region and the Field Army.
At that time, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party wanted to compete for the right to accept the occupied areas occupied by the Japanese puppets, and their main task was to send troops to seize important cities and communication arteries as soon as possible. Among them, the Tianjin-Pudong railway line is the only way for the Kuomintang army to go north.
After careful consideration, the party Central Committee decided to requisition and transfer the main force of the Shandong Military Region to the north, and the New Fourth Army would fill the vacancy of our army in Shandong. Therefore, Chen Yicai led the team to Shandong.
At the beginning of his tenure, the central government gave Chen Yi an order: "Cut off the Tianjin-Pudong railway, prevent the Kuomintang army from moving north, and strive to eliminate part of its troops." ”
In order to achieve this goal, Chen Yi planned to organize an assault force to be placed between Xuzhou and Jinan to create a battlefield conducive to ambushing the Kuomintang army.
In the end, the comrades in East China formed a Jinpu Field Army with Shandong's troops as the main force, commanding four divisions, with Chen Yi as the commander.
In the northern Jiangsu region, the original Jiangnan region troops were used as the main force to form the Central China Field Army, with Su Yu as the commander, responsible for containing the enemy army.
By October, our army first occupied Zou County along the railway, and then marched to the north and south. At that time, the general of the Nationalist Army in Jinan was Li Yannian, and he urgently sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek asking for help, reporting the urgency and requesting military support.
At this time, the Central China Field Army also successfully occupied Yancheng and Gaoyou to cooperate with the battle of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway. The Shandong troops also won the battle of the Jiaoji Railway. The Kuomintang army had already fallen into a situation where it was under attack.
By January 1946, the main trunk sections of the Jinpu Railway, the Longhai Railway and the Jiaoji Railway were already under the control of our army. The Shandong Military Region of our army was connected with the Central China Military Region and directly threatened the capital of the Kuomintang.
Since June 1946, our army has made rapid progress, successively occupying many cities such as Dezhou, Zaozhuang, Zhangdian, and Gaomi, and controlling a large area of Shandong.
After stabilizing the rear, the Shandong Field Army moved south in July and won a great victory in the Battle of Chaoyangji. It was also in this month that Chen Yi's son Chen Xiaolu was born in Linyi.
At this time, Chen Yi was liberating the people here on the land of Shandong, so he used a famous saying of a sage to name his son, expressing his deep affection for this land.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Yi was not immediately transferred back to the central government. Therefore, Chen Xiaolu returned to Beijing with his father in 1954. After coming to Beijing, Chen Xiaolu studied at Yuying Middle School and then at Experimental No. 1 Primary School, where many of the children's children of leaders went to school.
Later, Chen Yi's family lived in Zhongnanhai, and Chen Xiaolu was also promoted to Beijing No. 4 Middle School for the first year of junior high school. Until now, Beijing No. 4 High School is one of the top middle schools in the country.
参军入伍
A good learning environment and excellent family style have cultivated Chen Xiaolu's noble character. Chen Xiaolu has been taught by Chen Yi since he was a child, and his father's words and deeds have influenced him all the time.
Chen Yi often educates children that the family and the country are one, you are no different from the common people, don't think too highly of yourself. Under his father's teaching, Chen Xiaolu never felt that he had any privileges. If there's one thing that makes a difference, it's that he has to be more committed to contributing to the people.
In 1968, Chen Xiaolu was also 22 years old, and he should have a place to go. Premier Zhou said to Chen Yi: "The child is so old, just follow your old path." ”
So Chen Xiaolu went to the 39th Army as a soldier. In order to let him get a better exercise, Chen Yi said before leaving: "I will have three chapters with you. First, contact with the outside world is not permitted. Second, you are not allowed to say that you are my son. Third, it is forbidden to be a deserter. ”
Chen Xiaolu took his father's words to heart, took these requirements as his criterion for doing things as a soldier, and did not dare to relax at all. In July 1969, the Yangtze River was hit by a catastrophic flood. Chen Xiaolu's unit went to fight the flood, and he took the lead and rushed to the front line of flood fighting and rescue, protecting the property of the people.
Therefore, he was awarded the third-class meritorious service commendation. Since joining the army in 1968, Chen Xiaolu has been selected as a "Five Good Soldier" for three consecutive years, which is really worthy of Chen Yi's son and is also appreciated by the leaders. In 1970, Chen Xiaolu was honorably admitted to the party.
In 1971, Chen Xilian wanted to return to Beijing to attend the Politburo meeting, so he thought that Chen Xiaolu, who he was very optimistic about, would also be brought into Beijing to gain knowledge. Who knew that when he arrived in Beijing, Chen Xiaolu said: "Chief, my father is sick, do I want to go home and have a look?"
Of course, Chen Xilian would not refuse, so he asked Chen Xiaolu to show the way. Then Chen Xiaolu took the driver to drive the car to Zhongnanhai.
Chen Xilian was shocked: "Who are you?"
Chen Xiaolu then revealed that his father was Chen Yi, and asked Chen Xilian to help keep it secret.
After the meeting opened, Chen Xilian went straight to Chen Yi and asked with a stinky face: "Do you have an opinion about me? You didn't tell me if you sent my son to be a soldier under me, and you deliberately wanted to see me make jokes?"
Chen Yi understood that he already knew the truth, so he smiled and didn't speak, this person who has been funny all his life doesn't have much strength to joke. Two days later, Chen Yi died of illness.
epilogue
After his father's death, Chen Xiaolu stayed in the army, starting as an ordinary soldier. Relying on merit and hard work, he was promoted to the head of the political department of the regiment.
In the 1972 Liaoning earthquake, Chen Xiaolu also led the disaster relief and made heroic contributions. In the matter of saving the life and death of the people, he has never spared his own life. Marshal Chen Yi's spirit will always shine on his body.
