(Lao Liang said) A general with the same name as Peng Dehuai? At a glance at this sentence, it is estimated that many small partners will be curious: "Who?" ”
Dong Zhentang, the commander of the Red Fifth Army, you don't know, the entire Red Fifth Army can be said to be the iron gate of the Central Red Army during the Long March, and it is called the Iron Ass Old Fifth by the Central Red Army.
I have to say that during the period of our Red Army and even during the War of Resistance, there were many, many generals who were comparable to the white rise of the god of war, who protected us Chinese and went to the light step by step, but on the road to the light, many of them fell on this road and failed to see the last light.
Some people feel that this is a bit big, or a little boring, but Xiaobian doesn't feel it at all, because our enemies are sour and jealous of us.
Among other things, the American Kissinger said in his writings: "Chinese is always well protected by the bravest of them." ”
The praise from the enemy is always very pertinent, and you can feel the envy and jealousy in this word. When I first saw this sentence, I was not happy but proud.
Looking at the entire history of mankind, it can start from the beginning of civilization and pass it down to the present, only we Chinese, there is no second.
A nation without heroes is undoubtedly pathetic, they have no soul, they are just wanderers of time, and as they walk they disappear.
Since we have so many heroes, why don't we keep telling his story? Let him keep passing on? So today, Xiaobian will tell the story of Dong Zhentang to the big guys.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Dong Zhentang</h1>
At the end of 1895, in Xinhe County, Hebei Province, a peasant family of three ushered in a small life. Dong Zhentang became the second eldest of this peasant family, of course, he was not the old Gada of the family, and it was not long before Dong Zhentang had a little brother.
Three male babies, this is a burden in the peasant's family, but it is also a kind of happiness, the elderly father very much hopes that his baby, able to read and write, embark on a different path from him.
After all Chinese always have a belief in their bones, and children who can read and write are always the most outstanding.
But the family's conditions could not afford to study together with three children, so the eldest got the support of the family, and he was able to go to private school. At that time, Dong Zhentang followed his father and his brother to work in the field.
When Dong Zhentang was thirteen years old, he also wanted to read and recognize words, and at first his father did not agree, after all, Dong Zhentang went to school, which not only meant that there was no labor, but also that he had to pay for school, which would make this small family more difficult.
But under Dong Zhentang's repeated pleading, his father agreed, after all, his father was still very willing to see another reader in the family, tightening his pants belt as long as the family did not starve to death.
So at the age of thirteen, his father sent Dong Zhentang to Caozhuang Junior High School in a neighboring village.
In this regard, Dong Zhentang's path of learning has never stopped.
Six years later, Dong Zhentang was admitted to the preparatory department of Hebei Baoding Military Academy, and five years later he was admitted to Hebei Baoding Military School and entered the artillery department.
You can't imagine that he graduated from military school in two years, completing what others needed five years to learn.
Xueba attracted attention everywhere he went, and soon he received an invitation from the warlord Wu Peifu.
At this point in time, but in 1922, the forty-eight-year-old Wu Peifu can be said to have embarked on the peak of his life this year.
You must know that in this year, Wu Peifu blocked Zhang Zuolin's 120,000 people outside Shanhaiguan in one breath, and slapped Zhang Zuolin with a gray face, and Wu Peifu's fame suddenly soared, not only Chinese optimistic about him, but even the United States was optimistic about him.
If we don't say anything else, let's say that the cover character of Time magazine in the United States has a large photo of Wu Peifu printed, which is the first time that this magazine has appeared Chinese photo.
So why do Americans want to praise Wu Peifu? Was it because he defeated Zhang Zuolin? There is a point, but more here is that Wu Peifu has the most direct military forces in his hands, and his influence covers most of China, so there is a saying among Americans that Wu Peifu is the most likely person to unify China of all.
So did Dong Zhentang accept Wu Peifu's invitation? No! He didn't, and the reason was that Dong Zhentang couldn't look at it.
Why? Why? The reason why Dong Zhentang came all the way to the military academy is because the military academy not only does not charge tuition, but he also pays money, eats, drinks and wears.
The second reason is that dong Zhentang has seen more and understood that the country and the nation have suffered too many humiliations, and the Opium War has begun, so the foreigners there are one head taller than Chinese. Just because they have disturbed China, just because they are running amok and oppressing the common people, just by their big nose and white skin?
It shouldn't be like this! The more you learn, the more you know, the more you have been circulating in China for so many years, where is the glory of the past?
Dong Zhentang felt that a warlord who wanted to unify China by force could realize his ideals, so Dong Zhentang refused Wu Peifu's invitation.
He went to Feng Yuxiang's troops. You must know that at that time, Feng Yuxiang did not have much money in his hands, so the treatment of the troops was not high, but Dong Zhentang did not value this, he valued Feng Yuxiang's troops with strict discipline and hard work.
So after graduation, Dong Zhentang and twelve other people went to Feng Yuxiang's troops.
You can't imagine that most of the few people who went together fled, after all, bitter? Dong Zhentang stayed and asked to be transferred from the position of staff officer to the grass-roots level as a platoon leader.
Why? Dong Zhentang is the head of a poor family, why has he not eaten? And he didn't have that kind of high shelf, the soldiers ate what he ate, the soldiers him, and the soldiers exercised him to follow.
Such an officer, the one who is a soldier, does not like it. Later, Feng Yuxiang also noticed that this different military cadet, after such a long time, actually did not run away because of the difficult conditions of the team, and he could mingle with the soldiers, so he promoted him to be the commander of the artillery company.
In 1924, Dong Zhentang commanded quite well, and his work was also neat, and there was not so much hesitation, so Dong Zhentang was considered to have entered Feng Yuxiang's eyes, which was promoted to the position of artillery battalion commander.
Later, Feng Yuxiang's troops and Zhang Zuolin's troops collided, and Dong Zhentang pulled his artillery battalion and shelled Zhang Zuolin's armored train, overturning an armored train at that time.
There is merit that must be reused, so Dong Zhentang became the head of the engineer regiment, of course, this position is only a transition, after all, the engineer regiment can not reflect Dong Zhentang's talent, so he was soon promoted to brigade commander.
Along the way, it can be said that it is the speed of a rocket.
What about later? Later, dong Zhentang became the leader of our Red Fifth Army?
In this matter, we still have to thank Chiang Kai-shek for sending such a good member of the general to us.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="169" > he did. </h1>
Everybody knew about the Northern Expedition, when the Communists and the Kuomintang were engaged in the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, and the big guys twisted into a rope, with the goal of eliminating the warlords.
Then in this process, Feng Yuxiang's troops also began to respond to the troops of the Northern Expedition, and there were many Communists in Feng Yuxiang's troops.
Dong Zhentang liked the theory of the Communist Party, and at that time he also had many Communist Party friends.
Then, in the process of this Northern Expedition, Dong Zhentang cooperated with the Northern Expedition troops not only to take Wu Peifu's headquarters and guard battalion, but after the battle, he went north to fight Zhang Zuolin.
After this series of military feats, Dong Zhentang became the commander of the division.
Later, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup and personally tore up the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, resulting in the failure of the Northern Expedition and its interruption.
Later, Chiang Kai-shek carried out a comprehensive strangulation of the Communist Party, creating white terror everywhere, and when Chiang Kai-shek felt that the Communist Party was almost strangled, he began the war against the warlords.
Then in this context, a series of wars occurred, the last of which was the Central Plains War.
Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan joined forces to fight against Chiang Kai-shek.
Then the result of the Central Plains War, everyone knows that Chiang Kai-shek won, Feng Yuxiang's troops were absorbed by Chiang Kai-shek, and Dong Zhentang's unit was reorganized into the Seventy-third Brigade of the Twenty-fifth Division and was placed under the Twenty-sixth Route Army.
Why? In fact, the Central Plains War was only a result, and when it was far from over, Chiang Kai-shek once again focused his attention on the Communist Party.
Then we also had our own arms, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and our own base areas, and this guy would come to a piece of Chiang Kai-shek's envy and jealousy.
Therefore, when the Central Plains War had just come to an end, this began his five encirclements and suppressions by Chiang Kai-shek.
Then, after Dong Zhentang's troops were reorganized by Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek planned to pull his troops into the ranks of encirclement and suppression, and at this point in time, it was already the third encirclement and suppression.
Why? When the order was given to the Twenty-sixth Route Army, both officers and soldiers were unwilling to go south to fight the Communists.
Chiang Kai-shek's little abacus in his heart was crackling, how could the officers and men of the Twenty-sixth Road not know? This is the excuse for the war with the Red Army, to consume their so-called miscellaneous cards.
Moreover, this kind of thing, Chiang Kai-shek did not do it once or twice, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone, not only can they eliminate these miscellaneous cards, but also consume the Red Army, so this rejection is certain.
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek could let the idea of the Twenty-sixth Route Army succeed, directly suppress it by order, and let Dong Zhentang, the Seventy-third Brigade, head south first.
As a result, when the people of the Seventy-third Brigade arrived at sunshidian station, they destroyed the railway, and you have to say that the Seventy-third Brigade has gone south, and the entire Twenty-sixth Route Army cannot go south.
This guy can make Chiang Kai-shek angry, you don't know, this is the next threat and temptation, what does not make a sound, what delay the military aircraft crime plus a first class, but it has been making a fuss for several days, and the Twenty-sixth Route Army has gone south.
Chiang Kai-shek's third encirclement and suppression, which was in mind, was launched, and as a result, everyone knew that Chiang Kai-shek had thought too much, and that his third encirclement and suppression had failed under the third counter-encirclement and suppression.
This failed, but you put away the troops, but Chiang Kai-shek did not, and the other troops withdrew, leaving the Twenty-sixth Route Army at the last side, Ningdu.
Ningdu is not only the front line, but also an isolated city, as soon as you say this, you will know Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, which obviously shows that he still hates the railway before and refuses to cooperate with the matter of going south.
So what was the situation with the Twenty-sixth Route Army at this time?
Originally, this Twenty-sixth Route Army, most of him were northerners, and the mosquitoes who had seen the south were not only many, he was also larger, and the mosquitoes were not much smaller than their thumbs.
Therefore, in Ningdu, many soldiers have suffered from various malignant diseases.
You said sick, our cure is not it? But the medicine you need to treat you is not, as far as Chiang Kai-shek's mind is concerned, this hateful thing has not passed? Can medicines be supplied? That was impossible, so in this case, thousands of people fell ill and died quite a few.
There must be dissatisfaction. No, at this point in time, 9/18 broke out, the northeast was lost, and the vast north of China was also in danger.
The Twenty-sixth Route Army must be in a hurry, after all, it is its own homeland, and it is still alive, so why can it make the Japanese a disaster? So this is a report to fight against Japan.
You don't know that Chiang Kai-shek directly issued an order, who dares to say more about the anti-Japanese resistance, he will take up a knife to kill people, which is forced to be suppressed. Even so, Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that this order was not safe, and he also sent many soldiers to block the surveillance on the way north, which was to the point of strict defense.
The Twenty-sixth Route Army was angry from top to bottom, and this emotion could not be suppressed, and finally Sun Lianzhong, the commander-in-chief of the Twenty-sixth Route Army, took a look at this situation and felt that the back of his head was also cold, so he took advantage of the toothache and ran to Shanghai to find a dentist.
Sun Lianzhong felt that his debt-free body was light, and he ran away, but the Twenty-sixth Route Army was still next to it?
The Twenty-sixth Route Army was definitely in a bad mood.
Why? As we said before, the Twenty-sixth Route Army was Feng Yuxiang's unit, and when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party first cooperated, our Communist Party was invited by Feng Yuxiang to go to the army to carry out revolutionary work.
Later, although it was sent away by courtesy, the influence of the Communist Party still existed in the army, so we had a revolutionary foundation for this Twenty-sixth Route Army.
The Communists and the Twenty-sixth Route Army were in contact, and this prepared for an uprising.
An incident occurred in the middle of this, we were exposed at an underground transportation station in Nanchang, we were searched by the Kuomintang, and the matter of the Twenty-sixth Route Army was exposed.
You don't know that chiang kai-shek was angry at that time, and a telegram of 100,000 people was sent, which required the headquarters of the Twenty-sixth Route Army to take down Liu Zhenya, Yuan Hancheng, and Wang Mingwu and three Communists first. Chiang Kai-shek was still not at ease, and sent a caring person to come by plane, and this tone wanted to hold down the uprising of the Twenty-sixth Route Army.
As a result, this telegram fell into the hands of Chief of Staff Zhao Bosheng, the Chief of Staff and we are one, the big guys are so total, the late uprising is not as good as the early uprising. Of course, on the other hand, we must also stabilize Chiang Kai-shek, and not let him think about it and delay things, so I took a telegram to him to act according to orders.
In the end, 17,000 people revolted, and the big guys happily followed the New Year's Day, tore off the Kuomintang flag, took off the hat badge, and issued a notice to the whole country to announce the uprising.
And these 17,000 people were officially reorganized into the Red Fifth Army Corps, and our main Red Army also surged from more than 30,000 people to more than 50,000 people.
By April 1932, Dong Zhentang was approved to join the party.
At this time, Dong Zhentang also paid the 1,200 yuan of ocean he had accumulated over the years as a party fee.
In the past, Dong Zhentang's military salaries were handed over to the guards for preservation, and today it is a whole brain.
At that time, Chairman Mao knew about it and advised him: "Don't hand it all over, keep a little for your own use, and send a little to your family!" ”
As a result, Dong Zhentang's attitude was quite resolute, in his opinion, after all these years, he was looking for such a revolutionary road, and now he has found money for what?
Then, in the fourth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Battle of Yihuang and the Battle of Le'an beat Chiang Kai-shek's troops to the ground, and the other miscellaneous cards were not to be mentioned, and Chiang Kai-shek's concubines alone fought all the young and old, the Fifty-second Division, the Fifty-ninth Division, the Eleventh Division, and so on, killing the division commander Li Ming, and capturing the division commander Chen Shiji alive.
In the face of such a victory, the most indignant person was Chiang Kai-shek.
During the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign, Chiang Kai-shek took out all the cards and used all the troops that could be used, and nearly a million troops crashed into the Red Army Soviet zone of tens of thousands of people.
This was a bloody battle, our fifth anti-encirclement and suppression failed, and the Red Army entered a strategic shift - the Long March.
During the entire transfer process, the Red Fifth Army has always been the army behind our palace, and throughout the Long March, it has been known as the Iron Stream Defender.
Why? Dong Zhentang was a general who had studied military theory for many years and participated in actual combat for many years.
When fighting, it is not necessary to be careful and meticulous, and it is particularly brave and decisive to fight, which combines Lin Biao's delicate mind and the decisiveness and bravery of Boss Peng, which is why the Red Fifth Army led by him is the reason why he led the Red Fifth Army as the rear of the palace.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="172" > there is a little bit of emptiness in this, let's take a simple example, you can experience it. </h1>
In June 1932, Chen Jitang's two divisions plus a brigade, carrying guns and pulling cannons, ran to the southern Soviet area of our Gan, adding to our blockade.
That didn't have to be said, we had to fight back and dismantle the enemy's encirclement and suppression, when Dong Zhentang took the Red Fifth Army and passed.
Dong Zhentang did not mean to take the troops and look at the terrain and start fighting. After the people went, they asked the people for news.
What enemy is fighting and where it is coming from, what weapons are being brought here, and so on, before the battle, this general understanding has made it possible to know oneself and know the other, and only then will it be deployed according to the information that is known.
Good fellow, we blocked Chen Jitang's troops in Nanxiong Shuikouwei, because we had made an understanding beforehand and knew the weapons of this unit, so as soon as the battle began, Dong Zhentang himself rushed up with more than four thousand troops holding machetes.
You don't look at the enemy quite a lot, hula la up, the result is such a charge, the enemy glanced at the legs and stomach cramps, directly collapsed, annihilated the enemy three thousand.
In this battle, the central authorities directly awarded Dong Zhentang a red flag medal.
During the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, all of Chiang Kai-shek's able-bodied personnel rushed toward Jianning. After all, this is the gate of our Central Soviet District, and this guard Dong Zhentang has been guarding the weather with the Red Fifth Army for more than half a year.
So throughout the battle process, you can see Dong Zhentang's style, he is particularly good at fighting defensive battles.
Everyone knows that during the Long March, it was difficult for the troops to take the lead, but Xiaobian felt that it was even more difficult for the Red Fifth Army as the unit behind the palace. Let the guard be kept, let the guard be kept as long as possible, without a little hesitation, and completed very beautifully.
For example, in the Battle of Xiangjiang, at the beginning of the battle, the Red Fifth Army still had two combat divisions, more than 11,000 people, in order to cover the main force and the central organs, the Thirty-fifth Division fell into the enemy's encirclement, and finally failed to break through the siege, up to the division commander Chen Shuxiang frightened all the ordinary soldiers to die. (Chen Shuxiang was wounded and captured, and on the way, he took advantage of the enemy's inattention to break his intestines from the wound and sacrifice himself)
When it came time to forcibly cross the Jinsha River, the Red Fifth Army had five thousand men left, still behind the palace, but they had to face the siege of the enemy's two columns, which was more than four times the enemy of the Red Fifth Army.
When Dong Zhentang held a meeting in the Red Fifth Army, they were already ready for the sacrifice of all of them.
And they had to resist the time of six days and six nights, and when the Red Fifth Army finally withdrew from the last position, completed the sniper, and crossed the river themselves, they received orders that they would resist for three days and three nights.
After three days and three nights had passed, the Red Fifth Army would still face a distance of fifty kilometers, and they would have to rush all the way to the ferry before the enemy caught up with them, and they would have to cross the river safely.
The Red Fifth Army did.
Did you know about meadows? That's not just hard! The Red Fifth Army climbed the snowy mountains three times through the meadow three times.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" what's going on > data-track="173"? </h1>
The golden mountain in the snowy mountain, do not know the small partner of this snowy mountain, you don't say that you have read the history of the Long March.
The majestic main peak is nearly five thousand meters high, and the local folk song says: Jiajin Mountain, Jiajin Mountain, birds can't fly, mortals can't climb.
According to the memories of the old Red Army, the soldiers were wearing single clothes, their feet were covered with blood bubbles, they did not even have shoes, and they had to climb over a piece of dry bark.
The big guys were so cold that they couldn't get up anymore, and people were crowded together to march together, but on the way someone fell down and couldn't get up again.
Looking at a large stone in front of me, I wanted to sit down and rest, and as soon as I sat down, the stone fell, and when I looked at it, it was a comrade who froze to death.
The Red Fifth Army still turned over, and when it reached the camp after crossing the snowy mountain, this breath had not yet been evened out, and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission issued an order that the Red Fifth Army should deploy defenses on the south side of Jiajin Mountain to cover the repair of the troops.
Dong Zhentang dispatched the main force of the Red Fifth Army, the Thirty-seventh Regiment, and once again crossed the snowy mountains to carry out the task.
Without any hesitation, the Thirty-seventh Regiment took up arms, did not take a breath, and crossed the snowy mountains for the second time, and when they returned to the positions left over when they first crossed the snowy mountains, the original positions were still there, and the enemy had not yet come.
This fight lasted for seven days and seven nights, and after the battle, they crossed the snowy mountains for the third time.
When crossing the meadow, the whole meadow stretches for five hundred miles, what is this little thing? The Red Fifth Army watched in another three or five days to join the Central Red Army through the meadows, and the big guys were very happy, but they received an order from Zhang Guochu to stop advancing, return to the place of departure, and go to Aba to stand by.
The order was given, the Red Fifth Army was a soldier and had to obey the order, and although the soldiers were not happy, they returned to Aba to garrison.
Later, the big guys knew that Zhang Guotao had failed to go south, and Dong Zhentang was ordered to cross the meadow again.
As you can imagine, this is the third time they have crossed the meadow, and they can eat early on the way.
Dong Zhentang killed the warhorses that had followed him for many years, and then killed dozens of cattle that were heavy, and after seven days of marching, he crossed the meadow again.
Many of our good warriors failed to fall under the enemy's guns, but fell into the grass.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="174" > will fall</h1>
After the end of the Long March, the Red Army entered the base area in northern Shaanxi. But the situation at that time was still difficult, could Chiang Kai-shek still be staring at it? A coalition of five provinces was also launched to encircle and suppress them.
The central authorities decided to cross the Yellow River, and on the one hand penetrated into Shanxi to expand the base area, and on the other hand, they opened up the route in the direction of Ningxia and Gansu, and strived to open up the passage with the Soviet Union.
At that time, it was decided that part of the Red Fourth Front and the Red Front would form the Western Expeditionary Army.
Things always don't happen according to our wishes, when the Red Fourth Front broke through the Yellow River defense line and entered Hexi, the ferry port was reoccupied by the enemy.
As a result, the direct subordinate units of the Ninth Army, the Thirtieth Army, the Fifth Army and the Fourth Front Army that crossed the river were blocked to the west of the Yellow River, and those who did not cross the river were blocked to the east of the Yellow River.
The entire army crossing the Yellow River was only 21,800 people, which was the historical Western Route Army, and the fate of the Western Route Army was known to all.
The vanguard of the Western Route Army was precisely General Dong Zhentang's Red Fifth Army, and after they captured the county seat of Linze in Gansu, Huang Chao, the political commissar of the Red Fifth Army, stayed in Linze County with his only radio.
Dong Zhentang led the main force of the Red Fifth Army to capture the nearby Gaotai County, and the attack was smooth, except for a cavalry company that ran fast, and the entire militia of more than 1,400 people was captured.
Gaotai, this is the only way for the Western Route Army to pass through, and strategic locations are very important
At this time, Ma Bufang was already red-eyed, although he belonged to the regular army, in fact, there was not much difference between him and the bandits at the root, that is, the bandits wearing military uniforms, and the Emperor of Heaven had the feeling that the bandits were big.
But at this time, you don't have to talk about the Red Fifth Army, the entire Western Route Army will have fifteen thousand people left, and the troops that can fight will be only ten thousand.
Ma Bufang saw that the high platform was taken down, you don't say the eyeballs, the whole brain melon seed is anxious to turn red, eager to smoke his own two big ear melon seeds.
Twenty-five thousand people gathered, and they rushed towards the high platform, and the momentum felt that even if they hit it with their heads, they would knock the high platform down.
Gaotai is said to be the county seat, but it is actually a large earth fence, less than two inches in height, and the top is particularly narrow.
To be honest, at this point in time, the weapons and ammunition of the Fifth Red Army were in short supply, and there was no way, so they let the blacksmiths in the city forge a lot of large knives and spears as supplementary weapons.
The city was certainly undefendable, and could only break through in the face of eight times the enemy's siege.
At this time, Huang Chao, the political commissar who remained in Linze County, quickly sent a letter to Dong Zhentang, asking Dong Zhentang to continue to hold on to the high platform.
Why? Huang Chao was Zhang Guotao's secretary, and this time he fought in Gaotai, because Huang Chao was not in Gaotai, so he survived, and later followed the troops to Xinjiang, and then died in Xinjiang.
Then, at that time, Dong Zhentang received a letter from Huang Chao, and Dong Zhentang did not have two words to summon the troops above the battalion level to a meeting and ordered the troops to hold on to the high platform, and the people were in the high platform.
After a week of fighting, the ammunition was gone, and the logisticians and cadres of the organs all went to the city with big knives, darts, bricks, and even wooden lumps, and batters were turned into weapons.
The entire city wall was jagged, and as long as the warriors who could climb to the head of the city were fighting, the enemy's strength was increasing.
After eight days and eight nights of fierce fighting, three hundred members of the militia group mutinied and opened the city gates.
After that, Ma Bufang's troops, like a swarm of locusts, rushed into the city, and when they saw people, they shot, and during the battle, the enemy hit Dong Zhentang with a bullet, and the bullet rushed through the left chest, and the person was unconscious.
After the guards went over to help him up, Dong Zhentang slowly opened his eyes: "Leave me alone, if you don't leave, you can't go out..." This is his last message, and then he stopped breathing.
More than three thousand people of the Fifth Red Army, except for a very few survivors, all died.
The Ma family army, which had been blocked outside for several days, the attributes of the bandits were launched, and they had long been mad, like mad dogs, they cut off Dong Zhentang's head, put on his left ear with a rope, and hung his head on the city gate tower to show off.
Dong Zhentang's sacrifice has always been remembered in Chairman Mao's heart, and Dong Zhentang is often mentioned, and when Snow interviewed Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao mentioned Dong Zhentang again.
After Dong Zhentang's sacrifice, the central government sent people to take Dong Zhentang's widow who was in exile in Anhui to the southern Hebei region, distributed houses and dozens of acres of land, and issued 600,000 yuan of border coins.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Party Central Committee issued an order that the remains of Dong Zhentang must be found, but unfortunately, after so many years, it has not been found.
In 1983, Dong Zhentang's wife died, and his descendants could only hold back a cup of yellow soil in Gaotai County.
These loesses and the ashes of Dong Zhentang's wife were buried together.
Until 2015, after finding clues, Dong Zhentang's head was in a place in Xining City, and finally through a large number of visits, going through the data, it was finally determined to be in the open space outside the western wall of Zhongshan Hospital.
At this time, Dong Zhentang's second son was already a ninety-year-old man.
The general can rest in peace!
Well, write here today, like friends to add a concern, by the way to point a thumbs up!
