There is no doubt that Chen Geng will be the most popular of all the founding generals, he can get along with anyone, and he dares to joke with anyone.
According to the recollections of founding lieutenant general Chen Kang (who had been the commander of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade), during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Peng passed through NanleCheng, Hebei Province, just past Chen Geng's defensive area, and Chen Geng decided to entertain General Peng well. At that time, someone advised him that Mr. Peng hated eating and drinking the most, and was careful that the banquet could not be set up, and he was scolded by a stinky meal. Chen Geng smiled and did not speak.
After Mr. Peng arrived, Chen Geng said: "Knowing that Mr. Peng came, I asked the warriors to catch a few fish in the river, and today we only eat fish and don't eat anything else, Mr. Peng has no opinion, right?" Mr. Peng replied yes.
After a while, a plate of meatballs was served, and Mr. Peng was not pleased, asking if it was good to eat fish? How can there be meatballs? Chen Geng replied, "The meatballs are made of fish, and Mr. Peng tastes them." After a while, a plate of chicken was brought up, and Mr. Peng asked: Is this chicken also made of fish? Chen Geng smiled and said: The chicken in this river eats fish, so it is still made of fish in the end.
When did chickens start eating fish? Mr. Peng was not angry when he heard Chen Geng say such a blind thing, but instead accepted Chen Geng's hospitality with a smile.
General You Taizhong recalled in his later years that in 43 years, when he and a group of generals were listening to a report in Yan'an and Mao was speaking on the stage, Chen Geng actually walked to the front of the stage, took up his enamel cup and drank water, wiped his mouth and saluted after drinking, and said with a smile: "It is too hot, borrow a sip of water from the chairman to drink..." The cadres in the audience laughed, and Mao also smiled.
When chen kang, the founding lieutenant general, recalled his chief in his later years, he said that General Chen Geng was measured in joking, not chaotic, and that he was extremely shrewd in fighting and never suffered losses. And the political commissar Xie Fuzhi "loves to put up shelves, is a good person, and has a general level."
Tao Hanzhang, the founding major general, once recalled that during the period of large-scale production in Yan'an, he was ordered to open a small restaurant, called the Red Star Restaurant, Chen Geng went to patronize a few days ago, and after eating the meal, the soldiers went to collect money. "Finished talking and left.
Tao Hanzhang reported the matter to Huang Yongsheng, Huang Yongsheng was angry when he heard that someone was eating the Overlord meal, asked who it was, Tao Hanzhang replied that it was Chen Geng, Huang Yongsheng turned angry into joy, saying that the first meal could be free. Unexpectedly, the news spread out, all the generals came to rub rice, and a month later, the Red Star Restaurant closed down, and it was still in debt for 700 oceans...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > strongest connections</h1>
General Chen Geng's father was named Chen Shaochun, and Chen Shaochun had a close friend named Tanrun District, which was the father of General Tan Zheng.
Tan Zheng stayed at Chen Geng's house in his early years because of his studies, and he and General Chen Geng's fourth sister, Qingmei Bamboo Horse, later married, and Tan Zheng became Chen Geng's brother-in-law. Tan Zheng later left home to join the army and joined the revolutionary army, which was introduced by Chen Geng.
He Shuai had a favorite general Lu Dongsheng in the Red Second Army, and if he had not been killed by Soviet soldiers in 45 years, he would have been at least a general, and could even replace Xu Guangda as a general. In his early years, Lu Dongsheng was a tenant and "cattle herder" in Chen Geng's family, and his participation in the Great Revolution and the Nanchang Uprising was deeply influenced by Chen Geng.
Similarly, when Chen Geng was studying in the Huangpu Phase I, he was known as one of the Three Masters of Huangpu, and one of his students in the same period was named Zuo Quan, and zuo Quan's introduction to the party was Chen Geng.
According to the book "The General at the Table" written by Yin Jiamin, one day Chen Geng and General Peng talked about how to save Jiang that year, Kang Sheng just came in, and said with a dark face: "If you killed old Jiang that year, where would you fight these battles?" Chen Geng replied, "Then Jiang became a martyr like Liao Zhongkai, and I became a counter-revolutionary." ”
Chen Geng and Ho Chi Minh also had a good relationship, and the two knew each other when Ho Chi Minh was a secretary to Boro Ting in Whampoa. After the peaceful liberation of Yunnan, Chen Geng served as the commander of the Yunnan Military Region. In the summer of 1950, he was ordered to personally arrive in Vietnam to help North Vietnam fight against French colonizers.
After arriving in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh greeted this old friend in a mountain forest and gave him a poem: Gao Shi Lying in the Rocky Mountain, beautiful people in the dense forest. Ho Chi Minh compares himself to Gao Shi and compares Chen Geng to a beauty, which shows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
Deng Yifan (founding lieutenant general), then political adviser and second deputy commander of the Military Advisory Group in Vietnam, later recalled that in September of that year, the Vietnamese army conquered the Dongxi French army, but in the process of pursuing it was stubbornly resisted, Wu Yuanjia ordered the troops to stop attacking, Chen Geng was very dissatisfied, he said: "If this is not fought, I can only roll up and leave." When Ho Chi Minh learned of this, he suggested that Wu Zhaochen's plan be fought, and finally won the victory, and Wu Yuanjia was impressed by Chen Geng.
In addition, Chen Geng was also one of the few founding generals who had intersected with Mr. Lu Xun, and in 1932, Chen Geng, who was then the chief of staff of the Red Fourth Front, was wounded in a battle and went to Shanghai for treatment a month later.
During this period, Chen Geng met with Lu Xun twice and told him about the situation and deeds of the Red Army in Eyu and Anhui. Chen Geng also hand-painted a sketch of the border area for Mr. Lu Xun, and Mr. Lu Xun properly collected it. This map is now in the Lu Xun Museum in Shanghai.
