In the long history of modern China, there is such a general Peng Dehuai, known as the "Iron Army". When Peng Dehuai is mentioned, the first thing that comes to people's minds may be his iron-blooded appointment in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, or his decision-making wisdom in the War of Liberation. But do you know what? Peng Dehuai also has a unique skill that few people know, and this skill is not only particularly precious in the torrent of history, but also played a huge role in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. What exactly is Peng Dehuai's stunt?
Peng Dehuai was one of the ten founding marshals of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and his military career was full of legends. What Peng Dehuai is most talked about by future generations is not only his bravery on the battlefield, but also his unique military management and command art.
In November 1950, Peng Dehuai, as the commander and political commissar of the Chinese People's Volunteers, led the volunteers to the Korean battlefield. In this war, Peng Dehuai's military wisdom was fully displayed. But before that, a little-known detail reveals his uniqueness in his deep affection for the troops and strict management.
The scene where Peng Dehuai once denounced the 38th Army has become a classic depiction in countless literary and artistic works. The 38th Army failed to complete the assigned combat mission, and Peng Dehuai was furious, and behind this stern attitude, he reflected his serious attitude towards war and his cherishing of soldiers' lives.
But what is unexpected is that Peng Dehuai's strictness towards the 38th Army actually stems from a deep emotion. It turned out that the 38th Regiment of the 112th Division of the 334th Army had a deep connection with the Red Third Army Corps commanded by Peng Dehuai in his early years. This kind of blood-related emotion makes Peng Dehuai have special expectations and strict requirements for the 38th Army.
From the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937 to the victory of the Liberation War in 1949, Peng Dehuai almost never commanded his own "mountain" troops. This is different from other marshals and generals. Other generals, such as Su Yu and Liu Bocheng, most of the time commanded the troops they had cultivated, but Peng Dehuai always mobilized and used various troops on a larger scale.
In this case, Peng Dehuai showed his unique skill to mobilize and motivate soldiers to exert their maximum combat effectiveness even when there is no fixed mountain. This ability was greatly verified in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Peng Dehuai not only attached importance to tactics and strategy, but also paid more attention to morale and the internal cohesion of the troops. He knew very well that it would be difficult for a unit without morale to achieve victory on the battlefield.
Under the command of Peng Dehuai, the Volunteer Army showed extremely high combat effectiveness on the Korean battlefield. And Peng Dehuai's strict requirements and deep feelings for the army also made his prestige in the army high. Whether it is dealing with high-ranking generals or ordinary soldiers, Peng Dehuai is strict and fair. This kind of strictness without selfishness has won the respect and trust of more soldiers.
In addition, Peng Dehuai also has unique tactics. He is adept at using the terrain and enemy situation to develop flexible tactical strategies. In the Korean War, he repeatedly used tactics such as night battles and ambushes to successfully defeat the enemy's morale and win many battles. Peng Dehuai's tactical layout not only shows that he is proficient in the art of war, but also shows his ability to flexibly adjust his tactics according to the actual situation.
Peng's military career was not without its challenges. His sternness and straightforwardness also caused dissatisfaction among his superiors and colleagues. Especially during the Cultural Revolution, Peng Dehuai was subjected to great political persecution for his outspokenness. This experience undoubtedly cast a shadow on Peng Dehuai's life. But even in such difficult times, Peng Dehuai did not give up his loyalty to the military and the country.
Peng Dehuai's life is the epitome of Chinese soldiers in that era. His military talent and firm conviction have made great contributions to China's modernization. He is not only a footnote in military history, but also an indispensable part of modern Chinese history.
Peng Dehuai, a giant of history, his military talent and unwavering personality charm still inspire countless people today. His unique skills are not only in the tactical layout, but also in his deep affection and strict requirements for the troops. This unique management art and military talent made him stand out among many generals and become a real people's hero. Peng Dehuai is a kind of enlightenment to future soldiers, and only by truly understanding and caring for the troops can they achieve an extraordinary career.
