awarded the title in 1955, most generals were full of spring breeze, but Chen Geng was depressed behind him.
Everyone who is familiar with Chen Geng knows that he is open-minded, indifferent to fame and fortune, and has a cheerful and humorous personality. It is rare to see him sad unless he encounters something particularly sad.
Chen Geng
At this time, He Long came over and comforted him and said, "Chen Geng, you think of your old comrades, so do I. How great would it be if he were alive!"
Who is the person who made Chen Geng so sad? Why did he make He Long and Chen Geng obsessed with it?
1918, in Xiangtan, Hunan, a boy about 8 years old was herding cattle on the hillside. Suddenly the sky was cloudy, lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down, and the cows ran around, and the boy was so anxious that he burst into tears.
"Dongsheng, don't panic!" At this time, a 13-year-old boy arrived and helped the boy control the running cow.
"Second Young Master, you are so nice!" said the boy.
The boy said, "Why are you shouting like this again? Didn't you say that, we are good brothers, I am your brother."
"Brother, you are so nice!" the boy said gratefully.
The boy's name is Lu Dongsheng , and he is a cowherd at the boy's house. The boy is Chen Geng, and his father is a rich local family.
Chen Geng is the young master, but he has always treated Lu Dongsheng, who is 5 years younger than him, as his younger brother. He cares about him very much and does not allow anyone to bully him.
Due to the different family backgrounds and backgrounds of the two, the growth trajectories of their youth were also very different; Chen Geng abandoned his pen and joined the army at the age of 14, and then went to the Huangpu Military Academy and started his military career.
Lu Dongsheng went to the factory to become an apprentice and worked hard for his livelihood.
Nine years later, the two met again in Tang Shengzhi's Hunan Army.
At this time, Chen Geng had joined the organization and was the battalion commander of the Eighth Army of Tang Shengzhi.
Lu Dongsheng worked as a soldier in the Hunan Army for two years, and he is still a soldier.
Chen Geng held his hand and asked, "Dongsheng, how do you feel?"
"Not good, I'm bullied by officials all day long." Lu Dongsheng said.
"Go to me, see who dares to be angry with you?"
"That's great!" Lu Dongsheng jumped up with joy.
That's it, Lu Dongsheng became Chen Geng's adjutant.
General Chen Geng
In early August 1927, gunfire was constantly on the hillside outside Huichang City, and gunpowder was filled with smoke; four regiments of Chiang army Qian Dajun's troops surrounded the He Longhong Third Division after the Nanchang Uprising .
In the fierce battle, battalion commander Chen Geng was in command, and suddenly a bullet hit his leg and fell to the ground immediately.
The soldiers of Jiang Jun were excited when they saw this and rushed forward while shooting.
At the critical moment, Lu Dongsheng rushed up in the rain of bullets and rolled into the grass in the ravine, escaping the disaster. After
, Lu Dongsheng bandaged Chen Geng's wound and carried it on his back.
The Third Red Division was chased by the enemy, from Huichang to Shantou, and then from Shantou to Dapu.
Along the way, Lu Dongsheng was by his side and took good care of him.
"There are land in front, and it is easy for the enemy to be discovered by the enemy with my troops. I'd better stay in the local area to recover from my injuries." Chen Geng said.
Lu Dongsheng said stubbornly: "No, that's even more dangerous. I can't leave you behind. I have to walk with you on my back."
Just like that, Lu Dongsheng carried Chen Geng and carried him through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and went to Hong Kong Island. .
After arriving in Hong Kong Island, the first thing Lu Dongsheng did was to treat Chen Geng's injuries. His muscles and bones on his knees were broken, his ankles were also broken, and his legs were swollen and he could not walk at all.
Lu Dongsheng carried him on his back and finally found a hospital, but he was bombarded as soon as he sat down because the doctor saw that Chen Geng had a gunshot wound and was afraid of being implicated.
On the street, a man walked with another man on his back, which seemed unusual. Passers-by looked at them with suspicious eyes, and someone quietly told the police.
Seeing the patrol police coming, Lu Dongsheng panicked and walked into the toilet on the side of the road with Chen Geng on his back.
Don’t worry when you arrive in the toilet, you will feel hungry at this time. Haven't had a meal for a day.
Chen Geng is humorous and optimistic by nature and said to Lu Dongsheng: "When I came in, I saw a Western restaurant on the roadside. It must be very beautiful to have Western food at this time." Chen Geng was just a joke, but Lu Dongsheng took it seriously. He kept silent. I went out and took out the money I had left and went to buy a Western food.
Lu Dongsheng told the waiter that a patient wanted to eat outside, and the restaurant waiter followed him out of the store.
When the result was found, the other party was going to eat in the toilet. The waiter became popular at the time and scolded Lu Dongsheng.
This made Chen Geng laugh and cry, and said with emotion: "Dongsheng, you are too honest!"
This is the first time Chen Geng talks about Lu Dongsheng's "advantages". His personality determines his destiny. It is precisely because of his honesty that Lu Dongsheng took a detour and became a Tragic character.
After coming out of the toilet, Lu Dongsheng tried every means to get Chen Geng onto the passenger ship, arrived in Shanghai, and began to heal under the arrangement of Zhou Gong.
After Chen Geng recovered, he stayed in Shanghai under the leadership of Duke Zhou to carry out underground work.
Lu Dongsheng followed He Long and went to He Long's hometown to hold an riot and continue the armed struggle.
"Chief, I can't do this brigade commander, let the above invite another expert"
"You can do it, don't say anything angry."
"I can't do it, how can a warlord command Red Army ?"
" Please think about it again "
" Don't think about it, I have decided!"
In August 1937, in Fuping, Shaanxi, Lu Dongsheng had this conversation with his old leader and He Long, commander-in-chief of the Red Second Front Army.
At that time, a united front had been formed. The 2nd Corps of the Second Red Front and the 28th Army of the Red Army were reorganized into the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army in Fuping County, Shaanxi Province, with 358th Brigade, 359th Brigade and Teaching Regiment under its jurisdiction.
He Long served as the commander of the 120th Division, and Lu Dongsheng, the commander of the 4th Division of the Red 2nd Army, was appointed as the commander of the 358th Brigade.
At that time, when the soldiers heard that they were going to go to the front line to fight against Japan, they were ready to go, but Lu Dongsheng said, "I won't do this brigade commander."
is the official? Probably not.
When the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, all of them were demoted. Front Army was organized into division, with the leader as division commander, such as Lin Biao, the leader of the first front army, and He Long, the leader of the second front army.
The original army was reorganized into a brigade, and the commander was demoted to a brigade commander. For example, Wang Hongkun, the brigade commander of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division, turned out to be the commander of the Red Fourth Army, .
And Lu Dongsheng's "big brother", Chen Geng, a student of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, was just the commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division.
From this we can see that Lu Dongsheng is definitely not accused of being a little bitch.
The reason why Lu Dongsheng was unwilling to take office was because of He Long.
In 1936, the Red Army joined forces in northern Shaanxi, and all fronts were originally "fighting alone". After
arrived in northern Shaanxi, under the unified organization, many generals learned new knowledge, had a broad vision and a broader pattern.
At this time, some people became prejudiced against He Long, saying that he was domineering and engaged in warlords, and that He Long turned the Red Second Front into his personal army.
He Long
Lu Dongsheng, who had been following He Long for a long time, couldn't understand it after hearing this and defended the old leader: He Long has always listened to the chairman, otherwise how could he meet in northern Shaanxi?
Therefore, some people also labeled Lu Dongsheng as a "warlord" and criticized him at the meeting.
In the war years, it was inevitable that the commander would have guerrilla habits when he was defeated in a difficult environment, but Lu Dongsheng could not stand being labeled as a "warlord".
Lu Dongsheng has never been to school. He is a rude man. He rushed out of bullets and has a straight temper, so he can't figure it out no matter how he is.
When the War of Resistance broke out, Lu Dongsheng was appointed as the brigade commander of the 358th Brigade, which was a supreme honor to others; but he believed that he was deprived of such a big hat and was not qualified to command the war, so he was not qualified to be the brigade commander. He Long It doesn't work if Chen Geng persuades him. When the troops were about to set off, Zhang Zongxun, who had served as the commander of the 4th Division and the commander of the garrison in five counties including Yan'an , took office and served as the commander of the 358th Brigade.
Of course, there is also an objective reason here, that is, injury.
Like Xu Shiyou, Lu Dongsheng is a desperate man. He led the war and was injured many times. He often returned to the battlefield before his injuries healed. This left many problems; for example, sciatic nerve pain , which hurts so much.
Learning that Lu Dongsheng did not take office, the chairman also talked to him, and later arranged for him to study at Anti-Da .
At this moment, Lu Dongsheng was in a depressed mood. His superiors, comrades and his subordinates were fighting bravely on the front line, but he was staying in school. Not to mention killing the enemy, he couldn't even hear the sound of guns and cannons.
This is simply torture for Lu Dongsheng, who is excited when he hears the gunshot and goes crazy when he sees the enemy.
In February 1938, Lu Dongsheng and others went to Moscow for medical treatment, completely losing the opportunity to go to the battlefield, which became a great regret in life.
In February 1939, Lu Dongsheng and Liu Yalou entered the Soviet Union's Fulongzhi Military Academy to study.
Liu Yalou is a serious intellectual. He has served as the principal of elementary school and also served as the Minister of the Training Department of the Red Army University and the Director of Education of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University.
Lu Dongsheng never studied it in a day. However, he was very smart. He not only learned Chinese well, but also learned Russian. He also mastered a lot of political, economic and military knowledge, and had excellent academic performance.
In the autumn of 1939, when Duke Zhou came to Moscow to treat his illness, he asked Lu Dongsheng about his study and praised him, saying that he was a "red scholar".
In September 1941, Lu Dongsheng completed the Fulongzhi Military Academy graduation.
At this time, the War of Resistance is in full swing. If you return to China to participate in the war at this time, you can still show your skills.
, but , the Soviet-German War broke out, and traffic was blocked. Lu Dongsheng had to be ordered to go to the Far East and work as a major instructor in the 88th Infantry Brigade of the Soviet Army.
Not to mention being an instructor, even the brigade commander cannot compare with a brigade of the Eighth Route Army. The main body of
88 Brigade is Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army . It was included in the Soviet army sequence in order to survive. There were a total of 1,000 people in the entire brigade (300 Soviet soldiers).
A brigade of the Eighth Route Army said at least four or five thousand people, and the number was four or five times that of the 88th Brigade.
At this time, Lu Dongsheng was in a melancholy mood. He did not become the brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army at that time. After four spring and autumn , he is not even a brigade commander now.
Zhang Zongxun, who succeeded him as brigade commander, was already the commander and political commissar of the Luliang Military Region; his eldest brother Chen Geng was the commander of the Taiyue Military Region and also served as an alternate.
It was not until August 1945 that when the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, , and Lu Dongsheng returned to the northeast with the Soviet army.
didn't expect that this would become the end of the hero.
Shortly after Lu Dongsheng arrived in the Northeast, he was appointed as the commander of the Songjiang Military Region. It can be seen that the organization still recognizes him very much. If this continues, he can still thrust the horse and make achievements on the battlefield.
At that time, Chen Yun of the Northeast Bureau was ordered to come to Harbin to carry out his work and served as the secretary of the North Manchurian Branch.
After he arrived, he held a meeting with decisiveness, but his luggage was still at the station a few hundred meters away. He didn't take it in time
Chen Yun's secretary Liu Da was about to set off, but Lu Dongsheng pressed his shoulder: "You are too dangerous in life, but I am Go, I can speak Russian."
At this time, the Northeast was occupied by the former Soviet Red Army. Lu Dongsheng, who could speak Russian, could reduce some trouble.
But Liu Da insisted on going by himself. He said to Lu Dongsheng: "It's dark, how can you let Commander go?"
Just when the two were arguing, someone spoke next to him: "Let Comrade Dongsheng go Well, I have a pistol here, bring it with you safe! "
This way, Liu Da had to agree and watch Lu Dongsheng go on the road.
As a result, something regrettable happened.
Historical records show that on the evening of December 13, Lu Dongsheng and the guards did not go much further, and an accident happened.
A walking carriage was stopped.
A Russian voice came from his ear: "Stop! Don't leave!"
Immediately afterwards, two Soviet soldiers holding steel guns ran out of the roadside and stopped in front of the carriage.
The coachman caught off guard and pulled the reins to stop the car.
The Soviet soldiers came over with guns, spraying alcohol and said, "Take the money quickly, or I will shoot!" While saying that, he pulled up the bolt of the gun.
Lu Dongsheng was furious when he saw the actions of the two Soviet troops. He walked forward and asked loudly in Russian: "Which unit are you from, what's your name? Why do you want to rob the people?"
two Soviet troops Seeing that this Chinese spoke so fluently in Russian, they were a little confused, but they didn't take the Chinese seriously, and still said in a bad voice: "Who are you? Why should you care about me?"
"I am the commander of Ximan, I After 5 years in the Soviet army, you are a crime. Do you know? Go back quickly. "
" Ah?" Soviet soldiers were obviously worried that he would report it.
Seeing that the two soldiers' attitudes softened, Lu Dongsheng and the guards continued to rush.
At this moment, the Soviet soldiers raised their guns behind their backs...
With the sound of a "bang", Lu Dongsheng fell to the ground and stopped breathing on the spot. He was only 37 years old.
(Lu Dongsheng, back row first right)
Just like that, the battle-hardened general Lu Dongsheng did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of the Soviet army.
The bad news shocked the Chairman and the senior management of the Soviet side.
Chen Geng and He Long were very sad when they heard the news.
When Chen Geng was awarded the title of general in 1955, but Chen Geng was not happy. He remembered his old comrade-in-arms and good brother Lu Dongsheng.
When he was awarded the title in 1955, six brigade commanders in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Geng and Xu Haidong were generals, and Chen Bojun, Wang Hongkun and Zhang Zongxun were generals (he died when Chen Guang was awarded the title).
