If you want to win a war, in addition to the strength of the army, the most important thing is to have outstanding generals, if the generals are not capable, then the army even if it is strong can not play its due combat effectiveness, because of this reason the generals in the army are very important, in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a large number of very good generals emerged in our party's army, these generals have a very good command ability, under their leadership the army fought many victorious battles, and finally established a new China, generally speaking, the generals will not directly rush to the front line. After all, the commander who is responsible for the entire army, once there is an accident, it is likely to lead to the total destruction of the entire army, so it is not difficult to find that the generals are generally in command in the rear, so it will not be easy for senior generals to die in battle.
At that time, there were two generals in our party's army who died gloriously, and one of these two generals was very familiar to everyone, that is, Zuo Quan, and the other that everyone may not have heard of, he was Peng Xuefeng, who was the commander of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army at that time, and on one day in September 1944, he worked with other leaders to study how to eliminate the traitors in Balizhuang , which is regrettable.
Soon the news of Peng Xuefeng's sacrifice was known to the comrades in Yan'an, and Chairman Mao was immediately grief-stricken when he heard the news, saying that a Balizhuang had actually harmed a member of the party and sacrificed himself, and after saying it, he continued to choke up; at that time, out of stability considerations, the Central Committee did not announce the news of Peng Xuefeng's sacrifice, and only held a memorial service for Comrade Peng Xuefeng in 1945, when Chen Yi personally wrote a poem to mourn Peng Xuefeng, chairman Mao also wrote a pair of elegies for Comrade Peng Xuefeng, and from here we can see how much Chairman Mao attaches importance to Comrade Peng Xuefeng.
Why did Comrade Peng Xuefeng receive so much attention from Chairman Mao? In fact, there have been many stories between Chairman Mao and him, let's take a look at what stories have happened between the two, Peng Xuefeng was born in 1907, there are many generals born in the same year, Peng Xuefeng went to school at that time, and when he was in middle school, he came into contact with communist ideas, so he joined the Communist Party in 1925, and then officially began his own revolutionary journey, but the revolutionary road was not smooth, until later there was a certain improvement, when he was the head of the Red Third Army, he led the army to fight many victorious battles. Even Zunyi had beaten him twice, but at that time there were some contradictions.
It was 1935, after the end of a meeting, Peng Xuefeng suddenly received a notice asking him to talk to the head of the Central Committee, this chief is no one else, it is Chairman Mao, after the two people met, there was not a word of greeting, Chairman Mao directly said that your second column seems to have some contradictions recently, what is going on, Peng Xuefeng was also very direct at that time, he said the problem, basically means that some soldiers and cadres have opinions on the central authorities. After Chairman Mao listened, he naturally asked Peng Xuefeng why he did not explain it to everyone.
At that time, Chairman Mao was more angry, his words were more serious, and Peng Xuefeng was also very angry, so he directly quarreled with Chairman Mao, and he said some reasons, and it turned out that some leaders and fighters had opinions on revoking their own army numbers, and almost all the leaders of the army were replaced by other units, so that everyone naturally felt that the central authorities had opinions on them, so they were very angry, and some problems arose.
After some quarrels, Peng Xuefeng persuaded Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao also realized that some local central authorities did not handle things properly, and after this conversation, the two of them had admiration for each other, and Chairman Mao also attached more and more importance to Peng Xuefeng, so there would be a scene of great sorrow when Chairman Mao heard about Peng Xuefeng's sacrifice. He was eventually awarded the rank of general in 2006.
