Hong Xuezhi's anecdotes and allusions

1932 10 The Red Fourth Front Army failed to smash the fourth "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang army and was forced to leave the Hubei, Henan and Anhui base areas for the Western Expedition. After two months of hard fighting, it entered northern Sichuan in June+February, 5438, and rapidly developed the Sichuan-Shaanxi revolutionary base area centered on Tongjiang, Nanjiang and Bazhong counties.

1934 to 10, the main force of the Red Army in the Central Soviet Area marched westward and began the world-famous Long March. 165438+ 10, the Red 25th Army was also ordered to withdraw from the Hubei, Henan and Anhui base areas and move to the Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi areas. 1935 65438+ 10, Zunyi meeting established the correct leadership of the CPC central Committee with Mao Zedong at the core, decided to transfer the central red army to western Sichuan, and asked the Red Fourth Front Army to cooperate. The central cable pointed out: "It is advisable to quickly assemble troops and complete the preparations for the attack, and attack the west of Jialing River in the near future." The Red Fourth Front Army held an emergency meeting in Wangcangba, thinking that it was urgent to meet with the Central Red Army and decided to appropriately shrink the troops on the Eastern Front. At the same time, the tactics of shifting from east to west were adopted to concentrate on attacking southern Shaanxi, so as to confuse and mobilize the enemy, create favorable conditions for Cangxi to cross Jialing River north and south, and at the same time meet the Red Fifteen Army that has arrived in Shangxian County.

1In April, 935, after crossing the Jialing River, the Red Fourth Front Army began an arduous Long March. In May, he marched into northwest Sichuan, ready to join the shifting Central Red Army. Hong Xuezhi rate GongSiJun political department, red twelve division to stay in the rear side tail, responsible for the establishment of local political power, mobilize and organize the masses, support the Red Army.

After the headquarters of the Red Fourth Army entered Heishui and Lu Hua, some hospitals and patients in the rear of the Fourth Army were handed over to Hong Xuezhi for management, and there were 1 supplementary divisions, all of which were made up of prisoners. Their main task is to carry stretchers and transport the wounded. The political department of GongSiJun is already short of salt and food, so it is very difficult to raise food. In addition, it is difficult to take care of a large number of patients.

Jigongzhai is a minority area. After the Red Fourth Front Army entered, it lacked preparation in thought and materials, didn't understand the situation in minority areas, didn't know the language, and had different customs. Leaders of ethnic minorities are all armed. They often fight with each other and are very strict with ethnic minorities. Due to the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, the contradiction between ethnic minorities and Han nationality is extremely acute, and it is very difficult for the Red Army to do mass work.

The Red Thirty Army is in front, and reactionary leaders send people everywhere to attack the Red Army every day. They are fighting a sparrow war, hiding in the mountains, valleys and rivers, and suddenly giving you a shot, the Red Army soldiers will not die or be injured. The Red Thirty Army beat them when they passed by, and arrested some people and handed them over to the Red Fourth Army. Hong Xuezhi tried many ways to educate and put it back, but it still didn't help.

On July 1935, the political department of gongsijun received instructions from the fourth army in Heishui and Lu Hua. The central column will pass through Heishui and Lu Hua, and Hong Xuezhi is required to prepare food and grass, prepare for reception, and be responsible for receiving the wounded and sick of the Central Red Army.

After receiving the notice, Hong Xuezhi mobilized the whole army, stressing that no matter how difficult it was, it was necessary to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the Central Red Army. Then, directly under the authority and his team, including the Ministry of Democracy and Security, organized themselves, set out overnight, climbed mountains, opened the stockade of several reactionary leaders, and raised tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and hundreds of cattle and sheep.

After the advance party of the Central Column arrived in Heishui and Lu Hua, it sent a letter to the Political Department of Gongsijun, asking them to send the raised cattle, sheep and food to Gongsanjun. After the Central Column arrived in Heishui and Lu Hua, Hong Xuezhi was asked to send the raised cattle, sheep and food directly to the Central Column. Before and after Hong Xuezhi, * * * sent four batches of grain, cattle, sheep and condolences, and successfully completed the task of transferring and resettling the wounded and sick of the Central Red Army.

When the Central Column left Blackwater and Lu Hua, Hong Xuezhi first met Liu Shaoqi, who was in charge of the grain supply of the Central Column. Liu Shaoqi is slim and amiable. Nice to meet Hong Xuezhi. He held Hong Xuezhi's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, Director Hong, for your great support to the Central Column. The food, cattle, sheep and condolences you sent can solve our big problems. "

Class brothers

On the way to the Long March, Hong Xuezhi led the political department of Gongsijun from Heishui and Lu Hua to Zuoyou, passing through hundreds of miles of endless grasslands, where there were no people and swamps, and the climate was abnormal. Hong Xuezhi is not only responsible for the transportation of the sick and wounded, but also thinking about how to get food every day to keep the troops from being hungry.

When GongSiJun crossed the last mountain in Mashipo, because the vanguard troops had passed by, edible wild vegetables and fruits on the hillside could not be found, so GongSiJun had to walk on the grassland for a day or two. The Red Army could not get food and dig wild vegetables to satisfy its hunger, so it had to kill its beloved war horse and sometimes even cook belts and leather saddles. It is very dangerous to have a political department with wounded and sick people and no army cover. Hong Xuezhi had to rate the political department to return to Blackwater and Lu Hua.

Although Hong Xuezhi was provided with horses in the organization, he rode very little and spent most of his time transporting the sick and wounded and carrying food. At the end of August, after returning to Blackwater and Lu Hua, Hong Xuezhi finally broke down from constant overwork. He was in a coma with a high fever, and his life was dying. Later, the army found a 70-year-old Chinese doctor and invited him from a place sixty or seventy miles away from the army. The Red Army soldiers surrounded the old Chinese medicine practitioner, and you said a word to me, pleading with the old Chinese medicine practitioner to treat Hong Xuezhi quickly: "We can't do without him, and the Gongsi Army can't do without him!" The old Chinese doctor said, "You don't have to panic. Director Hong has typhoid fever. I'll write a prescription. As long as you can get my medicine, take it and ensure that the medicine is cured! " The Red Army soldiers immediately went over the mountains to find medicine according to the prescription of the old Chinese doctor, and finally got the medicine together. "After taking the medicine for three times, Hong Xuezhi really recovered gradually.

During Hong Xuezhi's illness, the guards arranged for a Hui warrior. Seeing that the chief was seriously ill, he cried and said, "Director Hong is dying. What am I still doing alive! " I shot myself. Hong Xuezhi woke up and remembered that the little soldier had followed him on the Long March. I don't know how many risks he took and how much he suffered, so he couldn't help crying.

1September, 935, Zhang opposed the Red Army going north and forced the Red Fourth Army to go south. Hong Xuezhi and the army chief led GongSiJun braved hardships and dangers, and then on the grass. In June+10, 5438, the Red Fourth Front Army launched the battles of Sui (Jing), Chong (Hua), Dan (Ba) and Mao (Gong), crossed the Jinchuan River, then crossed the snow-covered mountains all year round, and conquered Tianquan, Baoxing and Lushan. When crossing Jin Jia for the second time, Hong Xuezhi made full political mobilization. He called on officers and men to carry forward the indomitable revolutionary spirit and heroic spirit, and resolutely surmount the natural barrier of Jin Jia Mountain. He asked party member cadres to set an example, and comrades should be united and friendly. When a person is in trouble, everyone should help him. We can't leave a sick person on the mountain.

In the mountainous area of Jin Jia, the temperature reaches MINUS 20-30 degrees Celsius, and the weather is bad, or heavy snow, or strong wind, or hail, which is unpredictable. Because of the thin air and the Long March, people are tired and sleepy. Walking on the mountain, people feel dizzy and bloated, and their backs are sore and their legs are soft. If you are not careful, you will "stay" on the mountain forever.

Hong Xuezhi organized a reception team, walking at the back of the team, specially for those soldiers who were left behind because of the cold. At noon one day, the troops arrived at the main peak of Jin Jia, which was surrounded by ice and snow. Suddenly, the dark clouds rolled and the sky became dark, and then a snowstorm swept through. Six Red Army soldiers collapsed in the snowstorm and stopped breathing. These soldiers fought bloody battles with the enemy and forged a deep class friendship. Hong Xuezhi couldn't bear to leave them on the mountain, so he sent someone to carry them down.

After going down the mountain, the soldiers found a mill to shelter from the cold. So, I'm going to live in that mill at night, boil boiled highland barley and carry the frozen "dead" soldiers into the house. After midnight, the temperature in the mill rose and a soldier found a frozen "dead" soldier moving. Everyone was surprised and disbelieved. They said, "You are fooling yourself!" "I don't believe you, it really moved!" The soldier said. Hong Xuezhi a look carefully. Yes, he is short of breath and still moving. Hong Xuezhi shouted, "Help!" At that time, there was no doctor. People gave ginger soup to the comatose soldier through artificial respiration. Too many cooks saved him. One person is alive, which means there is hope for the other five. Everyone rescued them one by one. As a result, five people were saved, and one younger one didn't come back. He may have a heart attack.

After four or five days' rest, the Red Army moved westward to Dawu and climbed the Zheduo Mountain at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. Hong Xuezhi had experience at this moment. At the foot of the mountain, he asked all the troops to get up at 2 a.m. for dinner and cook Chili beef soup in a big pot. Everyone drank it and went on the road hot. On the way, everyone also brought a bottle of Chili soup, and when they climbed to the main peak, they took two sips to increase some calories. At the same time, the troops were ordered to pass the main peak before 10 in the morning. Because the climate changes rapidly after 10, it is prone to strong winds and heavy snow. The troops also brought a lot of anti-freezing things, such as salt and tea paste, to avoid unnecessary attrition. So the headquarters of the Fourth Army praised Hong Xuezhi.

Tusi alliance

1April, 936, the Red Fourth Front Army successively captured Luhuo, Zhanhua and Ganzi. During the occupation of Zhanhua City, there was a fierce battle with more than 2,000 Tusi armed forces, and hundreds of Tusi armed forces were captured. After education, they will be released and a large number of cattle and sheep captured will be returned to the masses. There is a leader in the city, Barton Dorje. The masses told him that the Red Army had returned our guns, cattle and sheep and set the prisoners free. This team is not bad.

On the third day, Barton Dorje sent someone to Gongsi Army and asked the Red Army to send someone to negotiate with him. He wants to negotiate a truce with the Red Army and hand over the Lama leader Nona to the Red Army. Nona is a member of the National Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee and an ambassador of Xikang appointed by Chiang Kai-shek. Nona was robbed by Barton Dorje when she took a lot of people and some weapons and property, and Nona was also detained.

Afterwards, Barton Dorje found it difficult to do so. If he killed Noro, it would be difficult to explain to the Kuomintang. Let Laura go, and the things you robbed will be returned, and the gun you took will be gone; What if you don't kill or let go? Barton Dorje wants to blame this matter on the Red Army.

Barton Doggio negotiated with the Red Army on a hill. Before dawn, they occupied the top of the mountain, commanding, and arranged many Tibetans, all with long guns, for fear that the Red Army would attack. After studying, Hong Xuezhi decided to send Vic Zhou, the minister of democracy movement, to talk with him. The preliminary discussion was very fruitful. Barton Dorje asked to go to Zhanhua City to meet the biggest "leader" of the Red Army.

Two days later, Barton Dorje came and took some people to guard the mountain. Hong Xuezhi met Barton Dorje in the Political Department. Hong Xuezhi explained the Red Army's ethnic minority policy and the purpose of the Red Army's Long March to Barton Dorje in detail, and the two talked very speculatively. Hong Xuezhi said as he turned on the record player to play records. Barton Dorje was very surprised when he first heard this record. He felt very strange: "How can someone sing such a small thing?" Hong Xuezhi smiled and told him what was going on. Barton Dorje admired it. He felt that the Red Army was really something, and he was very happy.

At noon, Hong Xuezhi invited Barton Dorje for dinner. Barton Dorje, afraid that the Red Army would poison him, refused to move chopsticks and invited him to drink. Hong Xuezhi raised his glass first, gulped it down and took a few sips. Barton Dorje saw that Hong Xuezhi was so generous, approachable and sincere. He was very moved, so he gradually relieved his worries and began to drink. The more he drinks, the happier he is. Barton Dorje said: "Your Red Army has strict discipline and regards our Tibetan compatriots as friends. You are really a teacher of righteousness. I will make you a friend! " Barton Dorje proposed and drank chicken blood wine with Hong Xuezhi according to Tibetan custom, thus forming a friendship relationship with Jin Lan.

Hong Xuezhi suggested that we can accept Nano, but we have two requirements. One is Nano's apprentice and should be given to us at the same time. The other is that our Red Army needs to prepare a lot of food and grass for dinner, so please help us solve it. Barton Dorje readily agreed. After returning, Barton Dorje told the temple he was in charge that he was not allowed to oppose the Red Army. Later, the temple also took the initiative to donate a lot of cattle, sheep and food to the Red Army. A few days later, Barton Dorje Penona. Nano is over 70 years old and is one of the big lamas of the Yellow Sect. Barton Dorje didn't send Laura's horse at the same time, because the horse was very good and he wanted to stay. Hong Xuezhi thinks this horse is Nano's favorite mount. Nano was too old to live without a horse, so he sent someone to negotiate with Barton Dorje to get Nano's horse back.

Later, Hong Xuezhi and the Political Department discussed the establishment of Zhanhua Revolutionary Committee. In order to facilitate local work, Barton Dorje was invited to be the director of Zhanhua Revolutionary Committee with the approval of his superiors. During the months in Zhanhua, many materials needed by the Red Army, such as grain, cattle and sheep, tents and so on, were delivered to the Red Army through Barton Dorje.

When Gong Liu Legion approached Zhanhua, Hong Xuezhi was told by Xiao Ke and others that he would arrive two days later, and asked Hong Xuezhi to prepare food. I didn't even see the shadow of food at that time. Hong Xuezhi was in a hurry and found Barton Dorje: "Dude, we have the Red Army again, and we need 280,000 Jin of grain and cattle and sheep urgently. Please be sure to help this person and get ready quickly! " Barton Dorje said, "No problem, brother. Your business is my business and will be delivered on time. " With such a large sum, Hong Xuezhi is still a little uneasy: "Dude, you have to keep your word!" Barton Dorje said: "Don't worry, there is no problem. Look at my actions. " It took Barton Dorje only one day and one night to send someone to raise and transport food. Men, women and children, pulling and pushing, brought the food, cattle and sheep that the Red Army badly needed.

The Red Fourth Army conquered Ganzi and established the National Revolutionary Committee of Shao Feng in Ganzi. Hong Xuezhi sent Nano to Ganzi and suggested that Jeannot be the director of the Revolutionary Committee. Nona was old and died more than a month later. His apprentice Hai handled the funeral in accordance with Tibetan religious ceremonies. Hai knows the whole process of communication between the Red Army and Laura. Later, the Kuomintang rumored that Nano was killed by the Red Army. Hai returned to Shanghai and published an article in Oriental Magazine, claiming that the Red Army stayed well. Nano died because of her age, and he took care of Nano himself. Finally, he also said how to deal with the aftermath of Nano and how many relics and wealth were distributed, which is very clear. It was not until later when Hong Xuezhi was studying in Yan 'an Anti-Japanese University that he saw Oriental Magazine that he knew about it. Facts have proved that Hong Xuezhi's leadership work in Zhanhua is relatively successful. He has a good relationship with people in Xizang, and all aspects of the Red Army's protection can be fulfilled.

1July, 936, the Red Fourth Army and the Red Second Army set out from Ganzi and went north again. Hong Xuezhi led the personnel of the Political Department to go deep into the propaganda and mobilization of each division to boost morale. With the belief that the revolution will win, the officers and men of the whole army crossed the grassland three times and advanced northward. After entering Gannan in August, Hong Xuezhi was transferred to the Organization Department of the Political Department of the Red Fourth Front Army. Soon, the Political Department of Gongsijun merged with the General Political Department of the Red Army, and he was appointed as the Deputy Director of the Organization Department. After arriving in northern Shaanxi, Hong Xuezhi entered the Red Army University and entered a new combat post after graduation. "Female heroes, Hummer's life." This is an inscription given to Zhang Wen by former deputy general Zhang Wannian, which is a high summary of her 70-year history in the People's Army.

Reporter: Aunt Zhang, you and Uncle Hong got married on the Long March Road and have been together for 70 years now. It is said that after Uncle Hong talked to you for the first time, you made a "lifelong event". Is that so?

Zhang Wen: (Laughter)1On May 30th, 936, our Red Fourth Front Army held a sports meeting on the Yalong River. After all the competitions, the host suddenly announced: welcome to the female soldier class of the supply department and sing a song for everyone.

There was warm applause at the meeting immediately. The military leaders sitting on the rostrum also applauded us.

I am the monitor, so I have to bite the bullet and go to the podium with the female class. I lead the song of riding cavalry and catching live cattle. At that time, I was targeted by Xuezhi.

That night, Chen Bojun, the lover of the army chief of staff, came to see me and took me to Xie's office in the supply department. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the commander and his lover, and the political commissar Xie. I was startled. Obviously, these people are coming for me. I stood in the middle of the room with my head down, at a loss.

It was Xifeng who pulled me to her side and sat down. She kindly said to me, "Your class is very good today."

I quickly said, "No,no."

Political commissar Xie then asked me, "Do you know Director Hong Xuezhi of the Military Political Department?" I immediately shook my head and replied, "No."

In fact, when I said I didn't know, I just dealt with it and prevaricated. After I joined the army, I met Director Hong in the garment factory and listened to his report. During the Long March, I often saw him give his horse to the sick and wounded. He left a deep impression on me.

Political commissar Xie told me a lot about the benefits of learning wisdom in one breath. Wang smiled and said to me, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, Ming Ying and I will introduce you to Director Hong. What do you think? "

In my hometown of Sichuan, parents have the final say in girls' marriage. I joined the Red Army. Who will help me decide? Facing the commander, I faltered and didn't know what to say.

Political commissar Xie saw my mind and said with concern: "This matter has not been finalized in advance. Think for yourself and ask your second brother's opinion. " I found my second brother overnight. He is a straightforward person and said on the spot: I won't say a word "no" as long as you are willing to get married.

The next day, I walked into Xuezhi's office according to my sister He's instructions. When he saw me coming, he stood up and gave me his seat with a smile.

Xuezhi came straight to the point and said to me, "Have political commissar Xie and Wang talked to you?"

I nodded my head.

He asked again, "What do you think?"

I said, "Listen to the opinions of the organization."

Xuezhi smiled and said to me, "That's my personal opinion. Several leaders agree that our personal affairs will become organizational opinions." Then he asked me, "Do you have any other requirements?" I didn't know how to answer at the moment. First I shook my head, and then I nodded frequently.

In this way, Xuezhi and I reached a "marriage agreement" in our first conversation.

Xuezhi and I held a simple and lively wedding in the office of the Political Department of the Military Region. The army commander, political commissar, chief of staff and other heads all attended our wedding. Rescue Mr. Peng twice

On the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, Hong Xuezhi took command of the headquarters, special forces and logistics, and saved Peng's life twice with wit.

At that time, because the air belonged to others, enemy planes could bomb at any time. The Central Committee sent telegrams several times asking for attention to air defense, especially to ensure Peng's safety. Hong Lao recalled that for this reason, Peng had quarreled with him several times.

Hong Xuezhi asked the engineering company to build a bomb shelter, and the sound of construction alarmed Peng. He was very unhappy and drove the troops away. Hong Xuezhi ordered the engineers to continue the construction. This time, Mr. Peng got angry and called Hong Xuezhi and said, Don't worry about my air defense.

Hong Xuezhi insisted on principle: Teacher Peng, that's not true. I am carrying out the orders of the Central Committee, and the Central Committee is in charge.

Soon, there was an explosion.

1950165438+1On October 23rd, four enemy planes circled over Dayu Cave, damaging the substation on the hillside. When it was getting dark, he came to spy again, which made Hong Xuezhi alert-he always scouted first, then bombed. Will he be bombed tomorrow? He went to Deng Hua and said, Dude, I don't think it's right. Maybe something will happen tomorrow.

Hong Xuezhi asked Peng to hold a meeting to study air defense. Boss Peng's neck stuck: I'm not afraid of American planes, so I don't have to hide.

Hong Xuezhi thought for a moment-he picked the map of Peng's family and hung it in the bomb shelter-and he knew that Peng could not live without the map for a day. Peng Fa lost his temper. I say you are Hong Xuezhi, so mind your own business. Pushing and pulling, Mr. Peng was finally pulled into the hole.

The next day, shortly after the battle meeting, enemy planes came. Peng's house was bombed, a petrol bomb landed on his roof, and the house was quickly burned down. Mao, who had quit and went in to get something, and another staff member died. ...

That day, Peng didn't speak for a day, sitting in a bomb shelter like a sculpture. In the evening, Hong Xuezhi asked him to eat. He looked up and said, Hemp seed Hong, I think you are still a good man. Not you today, old man!

1951April, on the eve of the fifth battle, the command post of Confucius Temple Cave of the Volunteers was strafed by the US Air Force. Alert Hong Xuezhi pulled Deng Hua, who was still sleeping, and jumped into a nearby ravine. He saw that Mr. Peng's house was hit by an American rocket ... only afterwards did he find that Mr. Peng's straw bag in the air-raid shelter had been hit by more than 70 bullet holes, and Deng Hua's bed was also hit by American machine guns.

If it weren't for Hong Xuezhi's visit the night before, he told the engineer company to build a triangular hidden wall with sandbags at the mouth of the cave, which deepened the cover, and the consequences would be unimaginable! Hong Xuezhi once again saved Peng Zong's life with his care and cleverness.

Logistics commander

The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was the first modern war our army encountered. The picture on the right shows the members of the Volunteer Command. On the left in the front row is Peng. Hong Xuezhi is in the front row on the right.

Hong Lao said that during the war, the US military had an average of 13 logistics personnel to replenish a soldier. Volunteers have 1 logistics personnel and generally need to supply 6- 10 soldiers. The firepower of American 1 regiment is stronger than ours 1 regiment. In addition, the U.S. military has almost absolute air and sea control rights, so many times volunteers have to act and fight at night, and logistics supply is extremely difficult. In combat, even bullets and food are often unsustainable, and the number of non-combatants is serious, which seriously restricts front-line combat operations.

However, when the volunteers decided to form a rear service organization, there was a small dispute between several main commanders. Hong Lao recalled that at that time, because everyone was used to leading troops to fight, no one wanted to stay and work in the rear. I insisted on going to the front to fight, so anxious that Mr. Peng slapped him on the table:' If you don't do it, I will do it! Go and command the army! Since then, I have forged an indissoluble bond with logistics.

Transportation strategy

195 1 In July, the enemy took advantage of the flood in northern Korea to launch a strangulation war-an air blockade campaign against our rear, trying to completely cut off our rear transportation lines. At that time, enemy planes often tossed around for a day. When you see someone, you rush down and shoot, throwing petrol bombs, chemical mines, time bombs, triangular nails ... It's a night flight. Soldiers are called black widows and don't hover. Bombs fell one after another, and there was fire everywhere, mainly to stop our army's action.

Hong Xuezhi led the volunteers to invent ingenious transportation tactics such as "unilateral transportation", "pushing cattle across the river" and "underwater bridge", and established a relatively standardized and unified network combat logistics. After the war, the former Soviet Union organized experts to come to China to understand and learn from the experience of the railway soldiers of the Volunteers, and greatly appreciated the inventions such as "pushing cattle across the river".

On May 3 1952 and 3 1 day, the commander of the Eighth Army of the US Army admitted at the press conference: "Although the allied air force and navy tried their best to block the supplies of the producers, the producers of * * * still delivered materials to the front with incredible perseverance, which created an amazing miracle."

1959 After the Lushan meeting in July, Comrade Hong Xuezhi was implicated in Peng's unjust case. The following year, he transferred from the army to work in Jilin Province, and successively served as the director of the Provincial Agricultural Machinery Department and the director of the Heavy Industry Department.

After the "Cultural Revolution" began, he was put in prison and criticized. 1970 was sent to the farm for labor reform. He always adhered to principles and fought resolutely against the counter-revolutionary groups of Lin Biao and the Gang of Four.

1972, under the personal intervention of President Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai, the reform-through-labour program was lifted; 1974 served as the director of Jilin Petrochemical Bureau (the picture on the right shows 1955 National Day, and Hong Xuezhi (first from left), Su Yu (second from right), Chen Geng (first from right) and Xiao Hua (third from right) were seated on the Tiananmen rostrum).

Boldly defend justice

1In August, 953, Hong Xuezhi left the Korean battlefield and went to Nanjing Military Academy to study. 1954 during the winter vacation, Hong Xuezhi returned to Beijing. Huang Kecheng, deputy chief of staff and head of the General Logistics Department, approached Hong Xuezhi and said, "The Military Commission has decided that you will not study in Nanjing after the Spring Festival. Now I need you to work in the General Logistics Department immediately, and you have informed the military school. " Hong Xuezhi felt suddenly: "It's rare to have such a learning opportunity. Can you finish your studies and come back to work as planned? " Huang Kecheng said: "There is a lot of work in the General Logistics Department now. Many things are groundbreaking, clues are complicated, institutions need to be adjusted, and many standards need to be formulated. Therefore, the Military Commission decided that you should not study full-time and come back to work immediately. "

1954 On February 28th, the Central Military Commission formally appointed Hong Xuezhi as the Deputy Minister and Chief of Staff of the General Logistics Department. At that time, when studying the Soviet Union, the Chief of Staff was the first agent for the minister to assist in the work. 1September, 955, China People's Liberation Army awarded the title for the first time. At the age of 42, Hong Xuezhi was awarded the rank of general and became one of the founding generals of the Republic of China. Hong Xuezhi served as director of the political department of the army during the Red Army, deputy commander during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, deputy commander of the Corps during the War of Liberation, and deputy commander of the Volunteers during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It is well-deserved to be awarded the rank of general with such experience. 1957, Hong Xuezhi officially succeeded Huang Kecheng as the head of the General Logistics Department until 1959+00. Shortly after Hong Xuezhi took office, he proposed to cancel the established General Finance Department under the Central Military Commission, and the General Finance Department was still incorporated into the General Logistics Department. The complicated geographical factors in China make the conditions for troops to be stationed vary widely. How to establish reasonable rules and regulations is a complex system engineering, and it is also an important topic in logistics work. Hong Xuezhi entered Tibet from Golmud in March 1959, and made a field investigation on the logistics work of troops entering Tibet. Logistic work played an important role in the victory of Tibet's counter-insurgency.

1959 after the Lushan meeting, Peng, the vice chairman who presided over the daily work of the Central Military Commission, was dismissed from all positions inside and outside the military except the position of Commissioner the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee in the party. 1August 20081September 3 13, the central military commission held an enlarged meeting in Beijing, the central topic of which was to expose Peng's mistakes. Someone first came forward to expose Peng's so-called "foreign exchanges" and his relationship with Jeremy goldkorn. The meeting was suddenly in an uproar. Then, someone spoke that he had been cheated by Peng before and finally showed his true colors.

Some people dare to call a spade a spade in the criticism of Peng. Deng Hua stood up first: "Mr. Peng doesn't understand foreign languages at all. How can he collude with foreigners? What they said, the translator can testify. " Hong Xuezhi also spoke for Peng Zong with indignation: "Peng Zong's Hundred Regiments War was at best a belated request for instructions, and it was always right to fight the devils. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was Chairman Mao's instruction, and General Peng carried it out very well. Can't he be wrong? A person has made a contribution, and once he says it, he can't erase it. " Someone kindly advised Hong Xuezhi: "Peng is from the first army, you are from the fourth army, Peng is from the Eighth Route Army, and you are from the New Fourth Army. What are you doing in there? If you don't participate, people will suspect you. If you participate, it is dangerous. You are an old subordinate of general manager Lin. What good is it for you to go against manager Lin? " Hong Xuezhi said, "I don't care what he is, the First Army or the Eighth Route Army. I will tell the truth clearly. The purpose of the meeting is education, not playing tricks on people. " Deng Hua, Hong Xuezhi and others also paid the price for their brave words. If they draw a line with Peng in time, they will be safe. But they didn't do it.

At this meeting, Deng Hua, deputy chief of staff, Hong Xuezhi, director of the General Logistics Department, director of the Equipment Planning Department of the General Staff Department, and the chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region were wrongly classified as the main members of the Peng Military Club, and were called "Xiaozhangzhou" and forced to account for the so-called "crimes" of "opposing the Party and Chairman Mao".
