980, General Zhong Wei found the old leader General Huang Kecheng and asked General Huang Kecheng what work he could arrange. Old General Huang Kecheng looked at General Zhong Wei and said: If there is a battle in the future, he will call you! General Zhong Wei asked General Huang Kecheng for a house again. Huang Kecheng was immediately furious and said to Zhong Wei: Why are you becoming more and more confused? Why is General Huang Kecheng so angry?
General Zhong Wei is an old subordinate of General Huang Kecheng. Both of them are from the Red Third Army led by General Peng. Both are legendary generals with iron-clad hearts and they both followed the Red Third Army to pass through the pass in the Long March . In Anti-Japanese War , because of the different combat ideas and combat views from the superiors, Zhong Wei turned to the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army by the old commander Huang Kecheng. Huang Kecheng was very clear about Zhong Wei's combat characteristics and combat ideas, so he fully trusted Zhong Wei and entrusted him with his important task. He appointed Zhong Wei as the deputy brigade commander and brigade commander of the 10th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army, and let Zhong Wei do it according to his combat ideas and combat characteristics.
In the "Battle of Gaogou", General Zhong Wei also became famous in one battle, repaying Huang Kecheng's trust in him with his outstanding record.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhong Wei also advanced into the northeast with Huang Kecheng's Third Division of the New Fourth Army. Before the beginning, Zhong Wei was the commander of the Fifth Division of the Second Column of the Northeast Field Army. The second column was also developed in Huang Kecheng's Third Division of the New Fourth Army. General Zhong Wei was once again in the Battle of Kaoshantun. Just now, Zhong Wei's division was originally responsible for the task of fighting and aiding and alerting.
But Zhong Wei is a militant and feels uncomfortable without fighting. Zhong Wei personally took the guard company to the front line to reconnaissance. He found that an enemy division headquarters was in Kaoshantun. Only in the battle in Kaoshantun could he better play the target of surrounding the points and mobilizing the enemy. He returned to the division headquarters and persuaded the political commissar of the division and subordinates to resist the opposition to attack the enemy's division headquarters in Kuoshantun. Zhong Wei's troops fought in Kuoshantun. Sure enough, he attracted reinforcements from the two enemy divisions and mobilized the enemy to change the battlefield situation. The superiors knew that Zhong Wei had successfully surrounded the points and mobilized the enemy in Kuoshantun, so he immediately mobilized two columns to cooperate with Zhong Wei's Fifth Division. Zhong Wei's Fifth Division cooperated well with these two columns to fight the points and won the victory in the Battle of Kuoshantun.
After the battle of Kaoshantun, Zhong Wei was valued by his superiors, and the division commander was promoted by his superiors to the commander of the newly formed 12th Column of the Northeast Field Army. General Zhong Wei's promotion speed is rare for the entire People's Liberation Army. General Zhong Wei participated in important battles such as Liaoshen Battle and Pingjin Battle with Northeast Field Army and the fourth field army after renamed it, and fought all the way from the Baishan and Black Water in Northeast China to the ends of the world.
Although Zhong Wei is a good player in war, he is still very characterful. In other words, he can cause trouble and restlessness. He often leaves the troops behind and runs to dance alone. Huang Kecheng has said a lot about him and protecting him for this matter.
General Huang Kecheng and Major General Zhong Wei both helped General Peng speak at the Lushan Conference in 1959 and spoke for General Peng for justice. In particular, General Zhong Wei had a fierce quarrel with others at the Lushan Conference. At the meeting, someone slandered Huang Kecheng with fictitious past events many years ago. General Zhong Wei also came out to speak for Huang Kecheng and tried his best to safeguard General Huang Kecheng. In order to safeguard General Peng and Huang Kecheng, General Zhong Wei had fierce quarrels with others at the meeting.
After the Lushan Conference, General Huang Kecheng was removed from his official position for helping General Peng speak and defending General Peng. General Zhong Wei was also demoted from Chief of Staff of the Beijing Military Region to Deputy Director of the Anhui Provincial Department of Agriculture. He was both generals without regrets and had no regrets at the Lushan Conference. He spoke for General Peng for justice and spoke for General Peng.
1980, two generals, Huang Kecheng and Zhong Wei, were rehabilitated and were able to return to work. Huang Kecheng became the second secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and made important contributions to the rehabilitation of veteran cadres and generals.In 1979, General Zhong Wei found Mr. Huang Kecheng to see if there was a job that suited him. Mr. Huang Kecheng knew the character of his old subordinate General Zhong Wei very well and said to General Zhong Wei: Old Zhong, when there is a war on the front line, I will be the first to think of you. This is the scene at the beginning of the article.
Shortly afterwards, the old general Zhong Wei came to find his old superior Huang Kecheng and asked his family to move back to his former home. He is not used to living in the current home. Huang Kecheng severely criticized Zhong Wei: Lao Zhong, why are you so confused? Everything we have is the public, not yours, mine, do you still look like an old soldier like this? You are simply embarrassing the old Red Army!
It turns out that there is a reason for the veteran general Zhong Wei. General Zhong Wei was used to living in the original house and developed feelings for him. The veteran general was a person who had a longing for the old love. In fact, General Zhong Wei is another person who doesn’t like to take advantage of the public. His son and granddaughter use their relationship to work in the city and to go to Beijing to study. Both were ruthlessly rejected by the veteran General Zhong Wei and said to his son: Your roots come from the countryside, and you cannot forget your roots. Under the persuasion of his father, General Zhong Wei's eldest son stayed in the countryside all his life; General Zhong Wei's granddaughter originally wanted to use his grandfather's relationship to go to college and work in Beijing, but he did not expect that his grandfather would decisively reject it. Even after the death of the veteran General Zhong Wei left a last word to his children: not to hold memorial services or farewell ceremony, and donate all the furniture and deposits to the public.
As mentioned earlier, General Zhong Wei came to find the veteran General Huang Kecheng for his own house. In fact, the situation of the veteran General Huang Kecheng is not very good. The house has been disrepaired for a long time, and the house is leaking and wind is coming in in winter. On rainy days, he has to put a washbasin in the house to collect water. His family members asked to move many times but were rejected by Mr. Huang Kecheng. Huang Kecheng sternly criticized: The housing conditions of ordinary people are not very good now. Many families are still crowded in a house with only a few square meters. It is good to have a house now. You are still picking and choosing. This is undesirable.
This is the lofty character and outstanding personal charm of the older generation of generals. They are all thinking about the lives of the people and the interests of the country. They are always worthy of being remembered by history and us latecomers.
