Yesterday, Tan wrote "Zhou Chunquan: The founding admiral of extremely high qualifications, who worked hard and was questioned by Xu Xiangqian about the reason for killing his wife." In the article, it is mentioned that Marshal Xu Xiangqian had a name in the end of 1929. Cheng Xunxuan's female Red Army got married, and the two fell in love with each other. They were a revolutionary couple. Unfortunately, Cheng Xunxuan was mistakenly killed in 1932.
Lao Tan also specifically mentioned that Cheng Xunxuan's family is a "revolutionary house", and her three older brothers and one younger brother participated in the revolution.
Today, let’s talk about the deeds of her three elder brothers and one younger brother, especially her elder brother Cheng Qiguang.
Cheng Qiguang was born in July 1902 in Chengweide Village, Qiliping Town, Hong'an County, Hubei Province.
Now, Cheng Weide Village is a well-deserved "hero village".
It is important to know that during the agrarian revolution, there were only 600 people in this village, but more than 300 people participated in the revolution. Of these, more than 160 people gave their precious lives. There are martyrs in every household."
In the 1980s, Cheng Qiguang was interviewed by reporters and recorded interviews. He said with sincere emotion: The ancestor of the Cheng family had three brothers, the eldest son was Cheng Weide, the second child was Cheng Maintenance, and the third was Cheng Weishan. The names became three village names, only two or three miles apart, and most of the people in these three villages participated in the revolution. But the most rare thing is that not only these three villages are like this, but the whole Qiliping is like this. There are many people among them. They are students who have graduated from Wuhan school. They are landlords in their homes, but they betrayed their own class and fought against their family members in the peasant movement.Kill people in their family, such as Cao Xuekai, Dai Jiying, Dai Kemin and so on.
Lao Tan inserts here, Cao Xuekai is the matchmaker who facilitated the marriage of Xu Xiangqian and Cheng Xunxuan.
Needless to say, Cheng Qiguang's family is a poor peasant. In theory, their brothers are more enthusiastic about participating in the revolution than Cao Xuekai, Dai Jiying, Dai Kemin and others.
Cheng Qiguang said in an interview that his family is poor. In addition to working for others, he also goes to the village to help people play cotton and do masons during the slack.
Actually, in his career as a mason, he had a partner time with Li Xiannian, a carpenter at the time, but he didn't say anything.
Cheng Qiguang participated in the revolution in October 1926 and participated in the jute uprising in 1927.
His memory of the Jute Uprising is one of the most original written records. He mentioned the formation of the Self-Defense Force and the fight against Red Spear Club , including "Wang Shusheng Moving Soldiers"-Wang Shusheng I went to Wuhan to find Dong Biwu and transferred more than 300 people from the Provincial Party Committee Guard Corps to kill the Red Spear Society leader Wang Jiulongzi in Macheng, and after the failure of the uprising, the experience of fighting guerrillas in Mulan Mountain was extremely informative.
During the guerrilla fight in Mulan Mountain, Cheng Qiguang was first with Cao Xuekai, Xu Peng and others. There were a total of sixty or seventy people. They were all ordinary people’s plainclothes, with only one and a half guns, but they formed the Eighth Army of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army. Flag.
Why does it say that there is only one and a half shots?
Cheng Qiguang said,Xu Pengren had a pistol, and Cao Xuekai had a Hanyang-made gun, but the barrel of the Hanyang-made gun was sawed off, so it was said to be a half-gun.
spent some time on Mulan Mountain, and finally reunited with the Seventh Army led by Wu Guanghao. They lived together in the Chen Family Ancestral Hall in Wuhuali, Targang West, with 140 people and 48 guns.
Cheng Qiguang recalled that at that time, Wu Guanghao, Wu Xiancai, Wang Dianchuan, Wang Shusheng and others all came, but there were few people like Dai Jiying and Zheng Weisan who were hidden because of the failure of the uprising.
The experience of playing guerrilla in Mulan Mountain is very difficult.
Finally, because of the dangerous situation, in order to save strength, Wu Guanghao suggested to disperse the troops, saying that those who are willing to fight guerrillas stay behind, and those who are not willing to pay travel expenses home. At that time, apart from the leader, only 32 of the hundred and forty people remained.
Cheng Qiguang specifically mentioned Chen Zaidao, who was later awarded the rank of general, saying that he was originally an old self-defense army in Macheng, but because of his young age, he also took the toll and left.
However, Chen Zaidao later wrote a memoir, saying that his departure at that time was instructed by Wu Guanghao.
No matter what, it can be seen that Cheng Qiguang and Chen Zaidao had the same status at that time.
Chen Zaidao left Mulan Mountain, but Cheng Qiguang stayed firmly. Later, he smashed out of Mulan Mountain and moved to the Quartet to reach Daba Mountain and Taihang Mountain.
Cheng Qiguang fought very valiantly. In October 1928, he served as a special agent in the eastern part of Hubei Province, building a local party in the Jinghan Road area, raising funds, and fighting landlords and bullies.
Once, a group of eight of them met with a gang of more than 100 people in a place called .
If you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
He led seven team members to charge against the enemy, and immediately killed the enemy, and seized five rifles, a barge gun .
However, he was shot in the lower abdomen and had to hide in the home of a landlord surnamed Zhou to recover.
Cheng Qiguang said that the bullet that hit the lower abdomen was not taken out until he arrived at Taihang Mountain with Division 129 during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
At the end of 1928, he and Zhan Caifang were in a place called Sigudun and a reactionary armed force called "Ren Yihui" was put on fire. Zhan Caifang was shot in the ass, blood flowing, the whole The trousers are all wet and can't move. Fortunately, he calmed down and allowed Zhan Caifang to hide on the spot. He raised his gun and shot at the enemy by himself, and knocked down a few in a row. The enemy could not see any advantage, and finally withdrew.
In this fierce battle, Cheng Qiguang was also shot in the right leg.
Cheng Qiguang and Xu Xiangqian first met on June 11, 1929. At that time, Xu Xiangqian took the waterway from Shanghai to Wuhan, and then was picked up by a secret transportation station one stop after another to Eyuwan, where he lived in Jianchang River.
Cheng Qiguang recalled the impression of Xu Xiangqian when he first saw Xu Xiangqian: “He was taller, mighty, dressed in a gown, gown, top hat, humble, and a bit shy to meet people.”

Cheng Qiguang's impression of Xu Xiangqian soon changed quickly-he found that when Xu Xiangqian fought, he always had a clear mind and didn't panic. In life, they respect the opinions of the masses very much.
Under the enthusiasm of Cao Xuekai and Ni Zhiliang, Xu Xiangqian and Cheng Qiguang's sister Cheng Xunxuan got married at the end of 1929.
Cheng Qiguang's second brother, Cheng Qizong, a teacher who runs a private school, was persecuted by the Kuomintang reactionaries while covering the underground work of our party.
Third brother Cheng Qidong served as the Soviet chairman of Wuxiang in Ziyun District, and was later murdered during the encirclement and suppression of the 89th Division.
's younger brother Cheng Qibo served as Xu Xiangqian's attendant. He made rapid progress with Xu Xiangqian, and later became the director of the Political Department of the Red 28th Army , but he died in the battle.
Cheng Qiguang was originally trained by the special committee, but he recalled: "The special committee wanted me to study. When I heard about it, my head became bigger and I was unwilling to learn.
For this reason, although he served as the commander of the 218 regiment of the 73rd Division of the Red 25th Army at the end of 1931, he also served as the section chief of the Red 4th Army army at the end of 1931, but until the War of Liberation. , still standing still, at the stage of regiment-level cadres-during the Anti-Japanese War, served as the commander of the 1st regiment of the East Column of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army; 4 Field Army, 7 Column 2l Division 62 Regiment Commander.
Compare with the founding general Chen Xilian-Chen Xilian was only the political instructor of the company of the Red Fourth Front Army in 1931.
Therefore, Cheng Qiguang's qualifications are deeper than those of Chen Xilian.
He should have suffered from the lack of culture. Although he was brave in combat, his room for improvement was limited and he could not do more in the military.
In 1950, the South Central Military Region was established. Cheng Qiguang served as the political commissar of the Air Force Logistics Department of the Central South Military Region and finally promoted to a division-level cadre.
But in 1952, he transferred to work in the National Supply and Marketing Cooperatives as the Deputy Secretary-General of the General Office.
Therefore, our army was awarded the first rank in 1955, and he was not awarded any rank.
However, Cheng Qiguang has a very good mentality and a healthy and long life. When he died of illness in 1993, he was 91 years old.
