One day in 1965, when Deng Hua heard that Mr. Peng was going to serve in the southwest, he was both happy and worried, and he immediately asked for instructions, please transfer me away. What's going on? Deng Hua didn't want to see Mr. Peng?
During the Liberation War, Deng Hua was a tiger general of the Northeast Field Army, in charge of the seventh column, and was deeply valued by Lin Biao. The Fourth Field Army was formed, and he was the only general who was promoted from column commander to corps commander.
Even the whirlwind commander Han Xianchu did not enjoy this treatment, which shows how much Lin Biao values Deng Hua.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Deng Hua became Mr. Peng's first deputy and assisted Mr. Peng in commanding the battle. Mr. Peng also takes him very seriously. Mr. Peng has a bad temper, loves to criticize and scold people.
For example, Liang Xingchu was scolded by Mr. Peng, but Mr. Peng never scolded Deng Hua. For Deng Hua's suggestion, Mr. Peng can also actively adopt it. Mr. Peng, who was born in a soldier, is very close to Deng Hua, an intellectual in the revolutionary team.
Mr. Peng returned to China for treatment, and Deng Hua was in charge of the Volunteer Army Headquarters, so Mr. Peng was more at ease. In 1954, Mr. Peng took the initiative to resign as the commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army, and Deng Hua replaced him.
In 1959, after the Lushan Conference, Deng Hua and Mr. Peng were unlucky together. In this regard, Mr. Peng blamed himself very much, feeling that he had affected Deng Hua. Mr. Peng was idle, and Deng Hua was sent to Sichuan as vice governor.
At the end of October 1965, Liao Zhigao, the first secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, came to Deng Hua's house, visited Deng Hua, and told him that Mr. Peng was going to work in Sichuan and serve as the deputy director of the construction of the third line in the southwest.
Mr. Peng can finally work, and Deng Hua is very happy. This is a board taken by Chairman Mao himself. Chairman Mao said that it was his intention to let Mr. Peng work on the third line in the southwest, and if anyone had different ideas, they would talk to him face-to-face.
Chairman Mao still loves Mr. Peng. Mr. Peng was also arranged to live in Chengdu, in the same city, not far away, Deng Hua can finally see Mr. Peng again, he has not seen Mr. Peng for many years, and there are too many things to say to Mr. Peng.
But after so many years, Deng Hua is no longer the Deng Hua of the past, he has become very cautious and careful, and his desire to see Mr. Peng is beautiful, but there are many inconveniences in reality.
Deng Hua is really afraid of causing trouble to Mr. Peng, he knows what his identity is. So it's better not to meet. Deng Hua immediately said to Liao Zhigao that in order to avoid a complicated situation, it is better to transfer me away, and please report my thoughts to the central authorities.
In fact, Mr. Peng's thoughts are the same as Deng Hua's. After Mr. Peng came to Chengdu, he heard that Deng Hua lived not far away, and he was excited to visit Deng Hua that day, and he had too much to say to Deng Hua.
But when he walked to the door of Deng Hua's house, he stopped again. After hesitating for a while, Mr. Peng turned around and left helplessly. It's all at the doorstep, so why not go in?
Mr. Peng is also afraid of causing trouble to Deng Hua, and he has already caused Deng Hua a lot of trouble. Mr. Peng still didn't go to see Deng Hua in the end, which is a great pity. The two gods of war have never met again in this life.
What is very valuable is that their hearts are the same, and they are not willing to cause trouble to each other. In 1978, when Mr. Peng was rehabilitated, his widow Pu Anxiu came to visit Deng Hua and gave Deng Hua a gift on behalf of Mr. Peng, which was a cigarette case.
It was given to Mr. Peng by Deng Hua, who had always treasured it in the safe, and specially explained before his death that he wanted to return it to Deng Hua. Pu Anxiu also told Deng Hua that Mr. Peng had a very high evaluation of him during his lifetime, saying that he was a rare general.
At that moment, Deng Hua burst into tears. Unexpectedly, Mr. Peng has always been thinking about him.
