Chinese culture has been passed down for five thousand years, from ancient times to the present, every dynasty is inseparable from the war, if it is victorious, it is good, the outside is bright. However, if the battle is lost, ordinary soldiers may become prisoners and be locked up, and the future and fate of the commander will be worrying.
Whenever this happens, some people wonder why these people don't hide in prisoners of war, so that these commanders can avoid the possibility of losing their lives. And in china's modern history, there is really a chief executive who has done this kind of thing.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > cause</h1>
In June 1946, after China ended its war with other countries, it finally turned its goals to the domestic region, and they wanted to achieve domestic unity. In this case, the war of liberation, which lasted three years, began.
From the opening of 1946 to the victory of the three major battles in 1947, the solution was overwhelming and almost eliminated the main force of the Kuomintang. However, the Kuomintang was unwilling to give up the fruits of victory that were about to arrive, and still chose to confront the People's Liberation Army.
In November 1947, the Northeast Field Army began a winter offensive, but Chen Cheng, director of the Northeast Expedition, did not recognize the strength of the People's Liberation Army, stubbornly believing that since the People's Liberation Army was so fierce, it would definitely disperse its military strength, and it would be better to rally the Kuomintang troops to defeat the People's Liberation Army.
So he gathered his forces and divided them into three armies to attack Tieling, Xinmin, and Shenyang. Chen Linda was the commander of the New Fifth Army, that is, the Left Route Army, at that time, and he thought that this attack was foolproof and full of vigor.
Who expected that after the fight, Chen Linda found that something was wrong, although Chen Cheng said that the main force of the People's Liberation Army was dispersed, but the People's Liberation Army that fought with them fought more and more, so sooner or later it would lose, so he had a retreat in his heart.
However, at this time, Chen Cheng still despised the People's Liberation Army, believing that they were not worth mentioning, and did not care about Chen Linda's worries, still choosing to let them stick to the spot, not considering rescue at all, and let them wait for them to come with the army.
As a result, the New Fifth Army, which still had a chance to break through, was defeated by the People's Liberation Army, of which more than 3,500 people were killed, and even more than 5,000 people were captured, and the commander Chen Linda was surrounded by the People's Liberation Army before he could leave.
Seeing that so many people had been sacrificed, Chen Linda naturally did not dare to show her head, so she had to dress herself up as a brother-in-law and wanted to confuse the past in front of the People's Liberation Army.
However, the People's Liberation Army was not so deceitful, and since their division commanders and deputy division commanders were all arrested, how could the commanders escape?
However, if he did not appear, no one knew who he was, and it was not realistic to ask one by one, how could he find Chen Linda?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > come up with a divine plan</h1>
Just when everyone was at a loss, a person stood up and proposed a plan that could easily find Chen Linda, and this person was Zhong Wei.
After choosing a distant location, he ordered the captives to run quickly. Due to the distance, the prisoners were exhausted and breathless, and there was a clear dividing line in the crowd, some of which could still rush ahead, and some of whom were already far behind.
It turned out that those high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang were basically well-respected people, they were only responsible for commanding in the rear, and rarely went to the front line to fight, so their physical quality was naturally inferior to that of soldiers who had been fighting for many years, and they naturally fell behind under this kind of rapid running.
Soon, the People's Liberation Army gathered the backward people, and after careful interrogation, it naturally found Chen Linda hidden in the crowd.
After Chen Linda was arrested, the Kuomintang who came behind naturally did not dare to continue fighting and retreated one after another, and the People's Liberation Army also won a victory.
In fact, as soon as Zhong Wei's method was said, everyone basically knew the reason, but no one had proposed it before him. He eventually stood out in this war, and his position was directly promoted from division commander to commander.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
Zhong Wei achieved good results in the war and held important positions after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but he was very clean and never used his power for personal gain.
In the late 1970s, Zhong Wei received a letter stating that his cousin had been imprisoned for stealing cattle and asking him for his views on his cousin's five-year prison sentence. Cultivating cattle was a relatively important tool of labor at that time, and stealing cattle was naturally more serious.
But after all, it was the cousin who was arrested, and if someone else might not be able to help but intercede, Zhong Wei said that five years was less than seven years, and no one was allowed to intercede.
Some people may feel that the cousin is separated by a layer of relationship after all, but Zhong Wei still treats his son with an iron face and selflessness.
When Zhong Wei left home, his son was born less than a year ago, and when he returned home, his son had grown up, and when their army hit Changsha, they wanted to take his son and beat a Kuomintang army to give to his son.
However, the son wanted to find a position, and Zhong Wei directly said that his son was only suitable for farming, so his son spent his life farming in the countryside.
Even in the storm of the times, Zhong Wei was a relatively fortunate person, although he was affected, but later restored his treatment, and his granddaughter also received a good education.
But the good times are not long, after the granddaughter graduates from middle school, she can only leave Beijing, Zhong Wei was reluctant to her granddaughter, but when her granddaughter asked him to find a job for himself, he directly changed his face and said that he had to get what he wanted, and finally his granddaughter could only return to her hometown.
And when she left, the old hero burst into tears. In fact, the parent does not want his children to have a smooth life and be happy. Seeing his son get up early in the field and greedily dark, and seeing his granddaughter forced to leave, how could Zhong Wei not be sad in his heart?
But as a soldier he must have his own principles, and once he opens that mouth, he is in danger of breaking the dike. Perhaps he could use his position to let his son stay and find a good errand for him, but in the next few decades, Zhong Wei's conscience will be tormented.
Life is spelled out by himself, his status is played out by his own efforts in the sea of blood, and he hopes that his descendants can also live a good life by hard work.
He knew that his actions might be complained about by his descendants, but Zhong Wei did not regret that he was born clean, and he had to leave with two sleeves of fresh wind.
In more than a hundred years since China was oppressed by everyone at the beginning, it has only been a world power for more than a hundred years, and the reason why it has been able to make such rapid progress is inseparable from the bloody struggle of revolutionaries, and still more inseparable from the correct guidance of leaders.
If everyone is nepotistic, then even if the country is finally founded, the country may not be strong, and it is precisely because of such an iron-faced and selfless old hero as Zhong Wei that the country can develop.
Now we can be born under the red flag and grow up in the spring wind, all of which are inseparable from the efforts of our ancestors, may they be happy and healthy in their lives, and may the young people who are growing up be able to inherit the fine traditions of the older generation, carry the banner of the times, and build the motherland more prosperous and strong!
