In 1947, when Chen Geng said a word during dinner, Chairman Mao actually slapped the table and stood up. What did he say?

Although General Chen Geng is a general, there is a kind of extreme randomness buried in his bones. He often jokes nonchalantly, even Chairman Mao failed to escape his "devil's claws". According to today's words, Chen Geng had a stomach of "bad water" at the time. But how can he not wet his shoes when he often walks by the river, he may not have thought that he himself was severely treated once, and this time it can be said that Chen Geng was scared to death, and the protagonist was still joked by him. Chairman Mao. What was it that made Chen Geng scared to death? Why is Chairman Mao "furious" this time? Next, let us return to the liberation war period, to see how he got stuck in the hands of Chairman Mao this time.

In 1947, the War of Liberation was about to usher in a major turning point, and the troops were also preparing to enter the stage of a strategic counter-offensive. But at this time Chiang Kai-shek can no longer tolerate the existence of Yan'an, and can order the troops to march north, this time we must wipe out all "reactionary forces". After that, the National Army assembled 34 brigades with a total of 250,000 people, with 15 brigades led by Hu Zongnan as the vanguard to assist in other battles, in an attempt to completely capture Yan'an this time, or force the People's Liberation Army to cross the Yellow River for a final battle. At that time, the People's Liberation Army was at an absolute disadvantage compared with the national army in terms of weapons and equipment. Finally, after 7 days and nights of bloody battles, Chairman Mao and others reluctantly withdrew from Yan'an. Since then, the Yellow River area has become the world of national army . Although there were still northwest field army fighting in northern Shaanxi, the situation was still not very clear.

In order to break this deadlock, Chairman Mao decided to let Liu Deng lead his troops into Dabie Mountain and control Hu Zongnan's troops in the mountains. Chen Su led the troops to stick to the southwestern area of ​​Shandong and dragged down the other troops of the National Army. In the end, Chairman Mao also transferred the 4 verticals led by Chen Geng back, and prepared to let him stick to the Yellow River area, so as not only to contain Hu Zongnan’s troops, but alsoIt can also support President Peng's Northwest Field Army and protect the central command organization by the way. After receiving the order, Chen Geng did not neglect at all, and hurried back to northern Shaanxi with the troops. Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou joined him that night. Although the situation was already very serious at the time, the three of them still acted very calmly.

Chairman Mao took the lead to toast at the wine table to celebrate Chen Geng's victory during this time. Although he used to work underground in Shanghai and developed the habit of not drinking very much, after all, Chairman Mao raised his glass to himself, so this time he broke his ban and drank his glass. The three of them drank and spoke freely, but Chen Geng was a little overwhelmed after a few rounds. After putting down his glass drunk, he suddenly said: Chairman Mao, you transferred me back. It is really wrong. Chairman Mao was also taken aback when he heard it, but he didn't say anything at the time. Premier Zhou also took Chen Geng's glass at the time, reminding him that he might be drunk, but Chen Geng did not stop because of this, but continued to talk about his views. He said that he admired the deployment of Liu Deng and Chen Su very much, because once the troops had a firm foothold, they could directly threaten Wuhan and Nanjing. It was indeed a very wise decision. However, there was a problem with his own deployment. The troops should not be directly transferred back. Instead, they should cross the Yellow River south to penetrate into the hinterland of the national army and put another knife in the enemy's heart. As for the matter of defending the border area, troops can be dispatched nearby, and there is no need to transfer oneself back at all. In the end, Chen Geng couldn't take it anymore, and he complained directly to Chairman Mao about being overkill. When Chairman Mao heard his face changed drastically, he slapped the table and stood up and said: Oh, Chen Geng, I did not transfer you back to protect me alone. You are all on the battlefield, so who is going to come from the back of the border area? protect? Now even you don't accept this assignment, then who else can I transfer? Chairman Mao became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder. Chen Geng, who was still drunk, came to his senses and quickly explained: This is just my own opinion. This sentence is like adding fuel to the fire, and Chairman Mao is even more angry: I know you Chen Geng once saved Chiang Kai-shek's life, do you want to send me to Nanjing this time? Chen Geng didn't expect Chairman Mao to say this at all. He was probably frightened at the time, and finally said tremblingly: I resolutely obey the order.

Chairman Mao saw that Chen Geng suddenly became a "little wife",In the end, I couldn't help laughing: You Chen Geng even said that others were afraid of death, so I just made a couple of jokes and scared you like this? Seeing that Chen Geng hadn't slowed down yet, Premier Zhou also said jokingly: The chairman just made a joke and wants you to express your thoughts. In fact, Chairman Mao's thoughts at the time were the same as Chen Geng's. If there is a unit that can cross the Yellow River south, then it can do something big where the enemy's strength is weak. Not only can it support the troops in the border area, but also the large troops of Liu Deng and Chen Su. If the process goes well, then it will be Chiang Kai-shek's turn this time. Chen Geng let out a long sigh of relief when he heard this, but he might never touch the glass of wine in front of him again.

It didn't take long for Chairman Mao to "administer" Chen Geng. Many people who have been joked by Chen Geng said happily after meeting: I didn't expect you to have today. Chen Geng did not shy away from this: He is Chairman Mao, do you want me to rule you again? I have to say that Chairman Mao gave a sigh of relief for the majority of commanders and fighters this time, but Chen Geng was still casual in the rest of the time, and it was completely healed that the scars had forgotten to hurt.
