" You are so brave! You dare to forge my warrant! "
In May 1949, Shanghai was peacefully liberated. In such a great day, The Third Field Army Commander Chen Yi made a phone call to the frontier of Shanghai. Within the headquarters.
27 Army Commander Nie Fengzhi had just picked up the phone when he was scolded by Chen Yi. Maybe it was because the sound was too loud, so Nie Fengzhi put the microphone far away and listened to Chen Yi's curses with an indifferent expression.
Chen Yi
As an old subordinate who has been with Chen Yi for a long time, how could Nie Fengzhi not hear the sound of the old commander trying to suppress his laughter? Finally, after two or three sentences, Chen Yi broke through in an instant, turned to laugh, and said bluntly: " Good boy, you have done a great job!"
Nie Fengzhi put the microphone back to his ear, picked up the fresh radish that had just been used up on the table, took a bite, and responded with a smile: "This is not my fault alone. , the chief’s name is more useful.”
So, who is this Nie Fengzhi? Why did Chen Yi not only not execute him but also praise him after he forged military orders?
Nie Fengzhi
Worrying about saving the country and relentlessly seeking knowledge
In 1913, Nie Fengzhi was born in a farmer's family in Hubei. Even though they could not read a few Chinese characters, Nie Fengzhi's parents knew very well that only reading could change their destiny, especially in that war-torn era. In order to free the child from the fate of being manipulated by others, the family gritted their teeth and sent him to a private school.
In the private school, the master talked about benevolence, filial piety and etiquette over and over again, but Nie Fengzhi got a glimpse of China's tomorrow from the long historical text.
From to writing on the bus to the Nanjing government, countless heroes sacrificed their lives and blood to save China. However, China at that time was still like a tattered and old sandbag, ready to be rubbed and played with.
Nie Fengzhi
China still needs revolution.
These words took root in the heart of young Nie Fengzhi.
Subsequently, Nie Fengzhi joined the ranks of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Nie Fengzhi, who was originally just a nobody, quickly distinguished himself in the army by virtue of his courage to fight, and even became the regiment leader in his twenties.
Nie Fengzhi was not complacent, but began to worry about the future.
Being familiar with Chinese history, he had mixed emotions after learning the news that the ranks of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army were growing.
The Anti-Japanese War
is happy that the revolutionary forces are growing day by day, but is worried that the number of troops is large, but there is a shortage of commanding generals.
Nie Fengzhi understood that if he wanted to truly contribute to the revolutionary cause, just a few years of private school experience would not be enough.
Coincidentally, the top leaders of the Communist Party of China at that time were also aware of the limitations of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. In order to train more commanders and generals, after Mao Zedong, Liu Bocheng and others decided, the central government established the People's Anti-Japanese Military and Political University of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an , referred to as the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. It is used to teach workers and peasants Red Army soldiers to learn revolutionary knowledge and skills.
After hearing the news, Nie Fengzhi was so happy that he almost ran directly to Yan'an.
Nie Fengzhi
After calming down a little, Nie Fengzhi wrote an application, hoping to go to Yan'an to study. However, after submitting the application twice, the organization has not approved it.
Nie Fengzhi jumped to his feet anxiously. Finally, with his eyes closed and his heart pounding, he packed his luggage and quietly disappeared into the queue while the moonlight was getting thicker.
When Liu Bocheng learned that one of his regiment leaders had disappeared in the middle of the night, he immediately became confused. He sent people to search everywhere, and finally found the "deserter".
Liu Bocheng
After Nie Fengzhi was captured, he was immediately packed and sent to Liu Bocheng. The two of them stared at each other. Liu Bocheng asked Nie Fengzhi why he ran away from home because he was a good leader.
Seeing Nie Fengzhi's expression of embarrassment, Liu Bocheng thought the other party had encountered some difficulty.
After learning the truth, Liu Bocheng immediately felt dumbfounded.
He had only heard of people playing truant, but he had never heard of anyone running away to go to school.
Nie Fengzhi
Seeing that Nie Fengzhi was indeed eager to learn, Liu Bocheng immediately found his secretary and approved Nie Fengzhi's study application. At the same time, he also took out eight silver dollars from his personal pocket and handed them to Nie Fengzhi personally.
Holding the heavy silver dollar, Nie Fengzhi's nose gradually became sour.
In order to live up to the expectations of his leaders, Nie Fengzhi worked hard and fast after entering the Anti-Japanese University. Listen carefully during the day and write down the teacher's lectures silently at night. After he returned from his studies, he did not relax in his studies. Nie Fengzhi, who had already developed a habit of reading, whenever he needed to move his position, the first thing he did was to pick up two large book boxes and run away.
Shandong Anti-Japanese University Branch
Both wise and courageous, tampering with military orders
In October 1939, Nie Fengzhi was organized and sent to Shandong Anti-Japanese Base Area . The central government did not let him go to the front line to fight. Instead, he led a group of troops to Shandong and served as the principal of the Anti-Japanese University branch.
But how could a school on the battlefield be the same as it is now, with students studying peacefully in front of the blackboard all the time.
At that time, the Japanese army the North China Front had been eyeing the Jiaodong Military Region. In order to show off its glory, the Japanese army began to deploy a massive mopping up campaign.
Xu Shiyou
The commander of the Jiaodong Military Region, Xu Shiyou, Nie Fengzhi's old comrade in the Fourth Red Army, immediately got the news, and he hurriedly came to Nie Fengzhi to discuss countermeasures.
"In short..."
Xu Shiyou scratched his head: "Our principle is, first of all, to preserve our vitality and not to make unnecessary sacrifices."
Nie Fengzhi frowned. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he immediately ordered the students from the branch to As well as local party and government cadres and the masses convened.
Nie Fengzhi
"Since they have laid a big net, let's break the net, jump over the net, and dismantle the net!"
Relying on his excellent underground experience, Nie Fengzhi led a kind of personnel to flexibly shuttle through the layers of siege like a dragon walking through a hole. .
Suddenly one day at meal time, as soon as the comrades put the rice into bowls, a scout hurried back and reported that the Japanese army was found ten kilometers away.
The troops were marching.
At that time, it was all muddy land. Even riding a horse and riding a car for ten kilometers to the garrison would take a lot of time. Everyone wanted to finish the meal before thinking of countermeasures. Unexpectedly, Nie Fengzhi heard the news. , immediately ordered all personnel to evacuate without delaying even a minute.
The comrades didn't take it seriously at first, and simply surrendered to Nie Fengzhi's majesty. Who would have thought that not long after everyone evacuated, they heard a loud noise behind them. When they looked back, they saw that shells had fallen one after another where they had just been stationed.
When the troops arrived at the second station to rest, Nie Fengzhi explained why he asked everyone to evacuate quickly.
Nie Fengzhi
"When the investigators ran back, of course the Japs had been heading this way. They were ten kilometers away when they were found, but when the investigators ran back with the news, the Japs must have been very close to us! "
's call made everyone suddenly realize. The investigator also patted his forehead anxiously. Why didn't he think of this level?
Precisely because of Nie Fengzhi's outstanding mind, the troops he led had almost no casualties in this battle. After learning the news, the Jiaodong Military Region looked at this young man in his twenties with new eyes.
Nie Fengzhi
In 1943, when Nie Fengzhi was thirty years old, he was appointed as the commander of the 13th Regiment of the Jiaodong Military Region, and also served as the commander of the Weihai Naval Region.
Xu Shiyou looked at his old comrade walking up step by step and felt very happy in his heart. However, he did not expect that within a few years, Nie Fengzhi would be so bold as to tamper with military orders behind his back.
In 1948, Mao Zedong personally issued an order for the Jinan Campaign. He asked Xu Shiyou to use about three months to defeat the enemy.
Xu Shiyou
Xu Shiyou had a headache when he heard this, and quickly assigned this arduous task to Nie Fengzhi.
Unexpectedly, after receiving the order, Nie Fengzhi showed no humility as before. He actually boasted about Haikou and said that he could complete the task in just half a month.
When everyone heard Nie Fengzhi's words, their first reaction was to check the body temperature on his forehead.
This kid is probably out of his mind, and he is bragging here.
For the sake of safety, Xu Shiyou did not dare to assign the main attack task to Nie Fengzhi, but assigned him an assist task.
Focus on Jinan
Nie Fengzhi Xu felt the cool breeze, his mind gradually cleared up, and he immediately accepted the task.
Xu Shiyou never expected that Nie Fengzhi only agreed superficially. After Nie Fengzhi returned, he immediately issued an order to attack Jinan.
When Xu Shiyou called angrily to settle the score with Nie Fengzhi, Nie Fengzhi relied on his sharp tongue to extinguish Xu Shiyou's anger.
Wang Yaowu was captured
It turned out that the man who guarded Jinan at that time was Wang Yaowu, who had served as the chief officer of Japan's surrender and was known as one of the most capable tiger generals in the Kuomintang army. If he simply followed the previous attack style and attacked Jinan, let alone three months Well, even if we fight for a year, we may not be able to capture the city.
Xu Shiyou was persuaded by Nie Fengzhi and agreed to let him be the main attacker.
Eight days later, Mao Zedong received shocking news that Jinan City had been completely captured and Wang Yaowu was successfully captured!
Mao Zedong was overjoyed and directly awarded the title of "Jinan First Regiment" to Nie Fengzhi's army.
Liberation of Shanghai
Carrot Engraving Peaceful Liberation
Due to Nie Fengzhi's outstanding performance, on the eve of liberation, the central government confidently handed over the task of liberating Shanghai to him.
At that time, our army had successfully liberated part of Shanghai in Suzhou, Henan, but Just when they were about to board the north bank, the National Army relied on its many years of experience in stationing and relied on firepower to stop the People's Liberation Army on the south bank of the river.
At this time, the central government issued an order, requiring not to use force to liberate Shanghai blindly. "We must fight both military and political wars." We hope to achieve peaceful liberation as much as possible while ensuring people's livelihood.
Continued After receiving the order, our army immediately suspended the offensive and sent negotiator Wang Zhongmin.
Liu Changyi
Wang Zhongmin took a piece of white paper with "Peace Messenger" written on it and went to the enemy's position alone.
As soon as Wang Zhongmin arrived at the military headquarters. When I was invited to the seat, it turned out that Liu Changyi, the head of the Kuomintang Army's Shanghai Navy Department, had worked with Wang Zhongmin in the Northwest Army, and the two were old friends.
Wang Zhongmin got straight to the point and told his purpose. In Liu Changyi's view, the other party was completely different. Send me a pillow if you feel sleepy.
Although Liu Changyi is the leader of the Kuomintang army, he has been squeezed out by Chiang Kai-shek 's faction, and most of his jobs are idle. The reason why he was sent to Shanghai as a general this time is entirely because of his original position in Shanghai. The leader Tang Enbo led Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops to retreat. The Kuomintang needed someone to resettle the defeated soldiers in Shanghai.
Chen Yi's letter
To put it bluntly, Liu Changyi was just an abandoned son
. Liu Changyi, who had thought clearly about this, saw Wang Zhongmin as if he were his own brother. He had suffered from the Kuomintang's corrupt system for a long time, and he wished he could welcome the Communist Party to Shanghai now.
However, his brothers, who have been with him through life and death, need it. A reasonable statement.
In the end, Liu Changyi put forward his own conditions.
He hoped that the commander of the People's Liberation Army Chen Yi could issue a surrender order to protect the lives of the Shanghai National Army. If this could be done, they would surrender Shanghai immediately!
Chen Yi
Nie Fengzhi laughed from ear to ear as soon as he heard the news, but at that time Chen Yi was crossing the river at the General Front Committee, which was one hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Shanghai. The back and forth warrants were time-consuming and laborious. Nie Fengzhi knew that time waits for no one.
After pacing around the office for a few times, he made up his mind.He asked someone to pull out a radish from the vegetable patch in the backyard, then picked up a knife and divided it by three and five. A low-end version of Chen Yi's warrant was freshly baked, and he pressed it on the surrender order written by Nie Fengzhi himself.
Liberation of Shanghai
Regardless of the dumbfounded people around him, Nie Fengzhi called the guard and asked him to deliver the order to Liu Changyi as soon as possible.
In this way, the People's Liberation Army successfully liberated the Shanghai area without spending a single soldier or a single carrot.
After learning about this, Chen Yi immediately called Nie Fengzhi, but the call was not to settle a score with him, but to praise him for his wit and informality.
Nie Fengzhi
transferred to the Air Force to fight against the US military
As we all know, in the few years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the People's Liberation Army of our country was still struggling on the front line of the war.
In 1955, Nie Fengzhi, who had originally planned to take a period of rest, was urgently called back by the central government to take charge of the construction of the Air Force. For a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the air force has been our country's shortcomings, and the US military has recognized this and often flies aircraft into our country's airspace to provoke.
In 1956, our country suddenly detected a US military reconnaissance aircraft approaching Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. After repeated warnings to no avail, Nie Fengzhi was angered by the US military and directly ordered an interception. Soon after, the US military reconnaissance aircraft was near Qushan Island. It was successfully shot down, and all the more than ten American troops on board the plane were killed.
Nie Fengzhi
After receiving the news, the US military was extremely angry and actually said that our country had launched an attack on US military aircraft on the high seas.
Subsequently, the US military directly organized its fleet and moved toward the East China Sea waters in a mighty manner.
Nie Fengzhi laughed angrily at this operation by the United States. After pondering for a long time, he decided to imitate Zhuge Liang and come up with an empty city strategy and a bowl of ecstasy soup.
Nie Fengzhi asked fighter planes to fly above the US military to supervise the enemy's behavior, and then sent a group of aircraft to conduct patrol flights.
Nie Fengzhi
The U.S. military looked at the planes flying overhead without making any other movements, and was confused. Finally, they couldn't bear it anymore and chose to withdraw from the East China Sea.
A few years later, Nie Fengzhi, who was in his sixties, was transferred to , Nanjing Military Region, . However, many years of war career eventually laid hidden dangers for his body, and Nie Fengzhi became a frequent visitor to the hospital.
In desperation, he handed in his retirement report. After retiring, Nie Fengzhi has been recuperating in the hospital. In April 1992, this brave and resourceful founding general died in his hospital bed at the age of 79.
