In life's journey, it is crucial to make wise choices. Every choice is related to the direction of the future and shapes the trajectory of our destiny. Therefore, we must think carefully and choose wisely in order to move towards a more brilliant future.
At the fork in the road of life, you need to choose the direction in which you want to go. Before you go, it's important to know where you're going. Think deeply in front of the red light of hesitation, and once the green light comes on, move forward bravely and towards your destination, without nostalgia and without looking back.
Zhang Zhenhan, a lieutenant general and division commander of the Nationalist Army, after being captured, he resolutely made a crucial choice in his life - to join the Red Army and become a heroic soldier against the enemy.
[Zhang Zhenhan met a noble person when he was young, and he tied the knot with Deng Juexian]
Zhang Zhenhan grew up in a modest family, his father died when he was young, and his mother took on the responsibility of raising him alone, raising him with great difficulty.
Despite the difficult situation, Zhang Zhenzhen has never been tainted with vices, nor is he inferior, and his personality is extremely optimistic and positive. He was handsome, helpful, and generous to his neighbors when they were in trouble. As a result, he has earned wide popularity and respect.
In the eyes of relatives and friends, Zhang Zhenhan stands out with his honest personality charm and is recognized by everyone as a potential stock. With everyone's encouragement and recommendation, he successfully stepped into the gate of the Army School and started his study journey.
Zhang Zhenhan, a hard-working role model in the school, has never been absent from the training ground, and his regular life has witnessed his tenacity. After graduation, he had a smooth career and was promoted to lieutenant general and division commander of the National Army, commanding the pivotal 41st Division, and continuing to write a glorious chapter that belonged to him.
Fate made the two meet in the sports meeting, and he caught a glimpse of Deng Juexian's sassy and heroic appearance on the field, and his heart gave birth to feelings. Since then, Zhang Zhenhan has launched a passionate pursuit of Deng Juexian, and has come to propose marriage many times with full sincerity.
Deng Jue was first moved by Zhang Zhenhan's sincerity. In 1933, the two tied the knot and became a loving couple. The life after marriage is as sweet as honey, which makes others envious.
[Zhang Zhenhan led his troops to be captured, and the 41st Division was disheartened]
In June 1935, Xuan'en's corps in Hubei Province was defeated in the battle with the Red Sixth Army, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and it was unable to resist the fierce offensive of the Red Sixth Army. When they were embattled, they chose to ask for help and sent an emergency rescue telegram to Zhang Zhenhan.
The Red Army had long been aware of the secrets of the telegraph, and its countermeasures had been carefully arranged. The enemy's plans were nothing more than old dramas that had long been recognized, and the Red Army had long been prepared and waited for its changes.
Zhang Zhenhan confidently led the 41st Division to Xuan'en to rescue, but he did not expect to encounter an ambush by the Red Army on the way there. The soldiers of the 41st Division instantly fell into a panic and fled in all directions in a panic, and the entire team collapsed in an instant.
At this critical moment, the Red Sixth Army made a decisive attack, skillfully broke through the defense line of the 41st Division, successfully occupied the position, and finally achieved a brilliant victory.
The Red Sixth Army not only achieved victory, but also embodied the spirit of humanity. They successfully captured Zhang Zhenhan, the commander of the 41st Division, but did not treat him as a prisoner, but showed friendship and respect. Such an act demonstrates the noble character of our army.
Red Army generals He Long, Xiao Ke, Wang Zhen and others had in-depth exchanges with Zhang Zhenhan, expressed the friendly stand of the Red Army with a sincere attitude, and earnestly hoped that Zhang Zhenhan would join the Red Army and jointly fight for the independence of the country and the happiness of the people.
Zhang Zhenhan increasingly trusted the Red Army, deeply analyzed the current situation, and understood that only by resisting foreign aggression could China be relieved of its century-old troubles. He made a wise choice - to join the Red Army, to give advice to the Red Army, to do his best, to go to the national crisis together.
For Zhang, this choice is crucial. If he is obsessed and persists, he will not be able to achieve future glory, let alone reunite with his wife.
[Zhang Zhenhan made outstanding achievements in the army]
When the Red Army embarked on a long journey, Zhang Zhenhan firmly chose to walk with them. He used the knowledge he accumulated in school to give advice to the army at critical moments, contributing wisdom and strength.
The leaders of the Red Army were discussing strategies to avoid the enemy, and Zhang Zhenhan, with his deep understanding of the enemy's army, put forward a detailed analysis and marching plan, pointing out the direction of the Red Army's advance.
With the assistance of Zhang Zhenhan, the leadership of the Red Army quickly made a strategic adjustment and decided to lead the large forces to the central region of Hunan.
Zhang Zhenhan used what he learned in the army school to help the Red Army destroy two enemy pillboxes with only two shells, saving a lot of ammunition for the Red Army and helping the Red Army to win the battle of Longshan.
At the same time, Zhang Zhenhan missed his wife deeply, and he skillfully sent the letter to Deng Juexian's hands secretly through the transmission channels of the Red Army.
Deng Juexian mistakenly thought that her husband had died, and her heart was full of grief. However, when she learned that her husband was still alive and in Yan'an, she was overjoyed and excited. She couldn't wait to pack her luggage, take all her family property, and embark on a journey of thousands of miles to find her husband.
After learning the news that her husband had joined the Red Army, she did not hesitate to take out all her family possessions, buy urgently needed medicines and marching supplies, and personally deliver them to the Red Army. She demonstrated her support and firm belief in her husband's choice with practical actions.
The two who reunited in Yan'an were emotional and teary-eyed, which is the best interpretation of their deep affection. Deng Juexian's unwavering support for her husband's entry into the Red Army showed her noble quality and was admirable.
Deng Jue first regarded wealth as something outside the body, and he believed that the reunion and companionship of husband and wife were the greatest wealth. The resurrection of her husband from the dead made him realize that true happiness lies in the companionship and protection of each other.
[Zhang Zhenhan became the target of the Kuomintang's arrest]
After joining the Red Army, Zhang Zhenhan made great achievements, and his wife was also by his side. However, the betrayal of the Kuomintang cast a shadow over all this beauty. Upon learning that Zhang Zhenhan was not killed and had become a member of the Red Army, Chiang Kai-shek was furious and ordered his arrest.
During the period when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhang Zhenhan, as one of the important candidates for united front work, attracted the attention of Chiang Kai-shek. This also provided Chiang Kai-shek with an excellent opportunity to capture Zhang Zhenhan. However, history has proven that such actions cannot change the course of history and the will of the people. Or write it like this: In the years when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party jointly resisted the Japanese invaders, Zhang Zhenhan became an indispensable member of the united front with his outstanding ability and firm faith. This undoubtedly also made Chiang Kai-shek feel threatened, and tried to limit or eliminate this potential danger factor by various means. But, as history has proven, the power of the individual has never been able to change the wheels of the progress of the times.
Soon after Zhang Zhenhan worked in Hankow, Chiang Kai-shek arrested him under the pretext of arresting him and issued a death warrant. However, after the Eighth Route Army learned of this news, they resolutely took action and risked their lives to rescue Zhang Zhenhan from the Kuomintang. This incident showed the bravery and determination of the Eighth Route Army.
After some twists and turns, although Zhang Zhenhan left his original post, he did not give up, but chose a new path to continue to move forward. Although he no longer holds the post of our party, his heart has always been closely linked to our party and he continues to contribute his strength to our party in different ways.
With his extraordinary intelligence, he accurately grasped every opportunity, and made his business empire grow day by day, and he became a wealthy businessman. And all his wealth was selflessly poured into the army of Yan'an, supporting their just cause.
In 1949, Zhang Zhenhan and his comrades-in-arms revolted together and made great achievements for the peaceful liberation of Hunan. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Communist Party appointed him as the vice mayor of Changsha City in recognition of his outstanding contributions, expecting him to continue to devote himself to the party's cause.
As the years passed, Zhang Zhenhan was invited to Beijing to attend the meeting, and met his old friend Xiao Ke to get together and talk about the past. Talking about the capture of the year, Zhang Zhenhan said with a frank smile that even if he goes back in time, he will still stick to his original intention and never regret it.
Zhang Zhenhan's loyalty to our party is well known, and Zhou Enlai once praised him as "our party's closest comrade-in-arms", and this honor and affirmation undoubtedly demonstrates his contributions and dedication over the years.
