In the early morning fog, China in the 1930s was in turmoil. After the establishment of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek's military repression exerted great pressure on the Communist Party. Under this high-pressure policy, the Red Army had to frequently move and hide in order to evade the pursuit of the Kuomintang.
In 1931, Chen Changhao was appointed political commissar of the newly established Red Fourth Front Army, and assumed leadership responsibility for the army together with Xu Xiangqian. The main task of the Red Fourth Front Army was to carry out the Party's directives and expand the influence of the revolution in the central regions of China, especially in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui region. Due to its strategic geographical location, this area has also become the focus of contention between the Kuomintang and other local forces.
This is a time of gunsmoke and intrigue. Against this background, every operation of the Red Army was fraught with risks. And in an urgent military operation, Chen Changhao's wisdom and decisiveness will become an important turning point in his military career.
In 1932, a sudden decision by Zhang Guotao - ordering the Red Fourth Front Army led by Chen Changhao to go south - quietly spread to the central government. After Ye Jianying learned the news, he quickly reported the situation to Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other central leaders. In the midst of anxiety and tension, the central leadership reacted quickly and decided to move the Red First and Third Armies and the Military Commission column north to avoid the potential risk of civil war, and at the same time issued a warning signal to tell all troops to pay attention to Zhang Guotao's movements.
After Chen Changhao and Xu Xiangqian received the news, their reactions were completely different. Xu Xiangqian frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is an act of cannibalism, and we can't participate in it." ”
Chen Changhao clenched the phone, his eyes like torches: "Mr. Xu, you are right. The Red Army does not fight the Red Army, we must maintain unity, this is our principle. ”
In the face of possible internal conflicts, Chen's decision-making shows that he is not just a warrior, but a far-sighted leader. This act avoided a possible tragedy and preserved the overall unity of the Red Army.
Although a civil war was averted, the situation of the Red Fourth Front did not improve as a result. After the failure of the Western Expedition in 1932, they were forced to move to Sichuan, where they faced a more complex hostile situation and a difficult living environment. Together with Xu Xiangqian, Chen Changhao led his troops to re-establish a base in Sichuan, and despite their lack of resources, their leadership allowed the Red Army to preserve its strength and continue to fight for the revolutionary cause in China. Chen Changhao's wisdom and firmness became an important turning point in his military career in this series of events.
In those turbulent times, Chen's choice exemplified the sense of responsibility and vision of a true leader. He is not only a commander on the battlefield, but also a wise man who stabilizes the morale of the army in the midst of political turmoil. His story teaches us that true strength comes not only from the display of force, but also from the determination to remain calm and stand firm in the face of crisis.
Through the example of Chan, we see the importance of leaders making decisions in difficult times. His actions not only preserved the strength of the army, but more importantly preserved the unity of the revolutionary ranks. This solidarity is necessary for any successful revolution, because only internal unity can counter external pressures and challenges.
Today, as we face a variety of social and personal challenges, Tran's story reminds us of the importance of upholding principles and upholding unity. Whether at the national level or in our personal lives, these values are key to guiding us to success. As Chen Changhao demonstrated, the real strength is the ability to remain firm in the wind and rain and lead people forward with wisdom and courage.
