Ura Anxiu slowly took out a golden paper box from his bag and handed it to Deng Hua silently.
Deng Hua took it carefully and slowly opened it. The paper box contained a cigarette that had been treasured for a long time. Because the years have passed, the taste has faded a lot.
At this time, Pu Anxiu said: "This is what he told me to return you during his lifetime."
Holding the golden cardboard box in his hand, Deng Hua, the iron-blooded general on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help crying.
It took Deng Hua a long time to stop his tears, and reached out to pick up the cigarette in the cardboard box, smelled it deeply. The wisps of tobacco fragrance brought his memories back to the past, and back to that passionate and prosperous period.
The country was in danger and joined the army. In 1910, Deng Hua was born in a scholarly family in Chenzhou, Hunan. He had been well-read in poetry since childhood and wanted to be a leisurely and free scholar, but unfortunately the waves of war quickly swept into his hometown.
At the moment the country is in danger, the huge China can no longer put down a quiet desk.
Deng Hua knew very well that every man was responsible for the rise and fall of the country, so he resolutely joined the army.
In 1927, Deng Hua joined the Communist Party of China and witnessed the shamelessness and cruelty of the " Horse and Japanese Incident ". After the Hunan Uprising, he went to Jinggangshan with Zhu De, and since then he started his own revolutionary career.
Deng Hua, in his youth, had a fair and elegant face, elegant conversation, and looked gentle and kind. He didn't look like a general, but a scholar.
But even though that is the case, Deng Hua was not vague at all when fighting, and he was particularly good at thinking and had flexible and meticulous strategic thinking.
During the Anti-Japanese War, in order to establish the Hebei-Re-Liao base as soon as possible, in June 1938, Deng Hua led the Fourth Column of the Eighth Route Army to advance to the east of Hebei through Pingbei. When passing through Shayu Village, he learned that a squadron of the Japanese Sakagaki Division was moving quickly towards this side.
According to the pre-plan, the Fourth Column troops should try their best to avoid conflicts with the Japanese army on the eastward road, but if they do not ambush on the spot, the way to the eastward road will inevitably be blocked.
So, after careful consideration, Deng Hua immediately decided to wait for the ambush.
Because of sufficient preparations in advance, after the Japanese army entered our ambush circle, Deng Hua gave the order, the Eighth Route Army hidden in the mountain began to fire fiercely at the enemy, catching them off guard.
But after all, the Japanese army has a large population. After a little adjustment, they began to counterattack our army.
Because the enemy's firepower was too strong, Deng Hua quickly adjusted his combat plan and concentrated his firepower to attack the Japanese invaders. The Japanese army attacked one by one. The battle lasted for several hours, and our army finally won the victory and wiped out more than 120 people in a squadron of Sakagaki Division.
Shayu Campaign fired the first anti-Japanese shot in Huairou, the Eighth Route Army's eastward advance was successfully opened, and Deng Hua also gained fame for this assault battle.
Deng Hua's troops not only fought beautifully, but also had strict discipline.
Every time the troops march, in order not to disturb the local people, they would rather sleep on the streets, but every time they left, they would splash water to sweep the streets and clean up garbage, and not cause any trouble to the people.
When ordinary people see such a force, they will sincerely sigh: the troops led by the Communist Party are different!
During the War of Liberation, Deng Hua participated in the Liaoshen Battle and the Pingjin Battle and the Pingjin Battle. He made great contributions to the construction of the New China.
invaded China, and even if it was far away, it would be punished.
1950, Korean War broke out.
In order to safeguard its vested interests in Asia, the United States organized a coalition forces to send troops and unscrupulously cross the "March 8" line, burning the war to the edge of Yalu River.
Faced with the crazy provocation of the US military, at the request of the North Korean government, the Party Central Committee made the decision to "resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea and defend the country."
Those who violate our China will be punished even if they are far away.On October 19, under the leadership of Commander Peng Dehuai, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army crossed the Yalu River with great confidence and courage, and arrived at the Korean battlefield on the 25th.
In this war to defend the country, Deng Hua, as the first deputy commander, cooperated with commander Peng Dehuai to command the battle. During this period of glorious years of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, the two formed a deep friendship.
If there was no such war in Korea, there would be no intersection between Deng Hua and Peng Dehuai. Whether it was the Red Army period or the liberation period, they were both fighting in different legions, and because of the large differences in positions, the two had almost no chance of contact.
It is precisely because they don’t understand each other that Peng Dehua initially had some doubts about Deng Hua’s combat capabilities and even did not agree to let Deng Hua be the deputy commander, but soon Deng Hua made Peng Dehuai look at him with his outstanding military talent.
Before entering North Korea, out of caution, the Central Military Commission of the Party decided to send two troops across the river first, and then send troops one after another.
Deng Hua raised doubts about this, and he took the initiative to find Peng Dehuai and suggested: "Compared with the US military, our army is relatively backward in weapons and equipment. We must first cross the river with superior forces and occupy a favorable position, so that the large army can enter North Korea smoothly."
Peng Dehuai heard this and felt it made sense, so he adopted Deng Hua's proposal. Looking at the gentle general in front of him, he felt a little praise in his heart.
Just like that, under the command of the two generals Peng Dehuai and Deng Hua, the volunteer army successfully crossed the Yalu River in just three days, and no soldiers were lost.
After this incident, Peng Dehuai's impression of Deng Hua has changed greatly. In the subsequent battles, they often discussed military strategies together, and the revolutionary friendship became increasingly deep.
At the end of October 1950, the US military captured Pyongyang and prepared to advance northward on a large scale.
In order to block the US military, Peng Dehuai immediately decided to divide the volunteer army into two groups, starting from the east and west lines at the same time, and comprehensively resist the US military's ambition to occupy North Korea.
Although the volunteers also won the first few battles, they also paid a heavy price.
Peng Dehuai was very angry about this and couldn't eat for several days.
At this time, Deng Hua found Peng Dehuai and conducted a detailed analysis and summary of the war situation. He said: "The US military's weapons are very good now. If you fight head-on with them, you may not get any advantage. You might as well adopt the method of luring the enemy into depth, attracting them to our encirclement, and then..."
"Give them a jar to catch the turtle!" Peng Dehuai said on the interface.
"Yes, that's it." Deng Hua nodded and said.
Peng Dehuai laughed and said, "Okay! OK! What a good idea!"
So, the two of them formulated a combat plan overnight.
In the following battle, the US military was indeed trapped, and the volunteers successfully annihilated more than 10,000 enemies. At the celebration banquet, Peng Dehuai patted Deng Hua on the shoulder and praised him endlessly.
Although Peng Dehuai and Deng Hua were decisive in commanding battles on the battlefield, these two people were not arrogant at all in their daily lives. They often had dinner with the soldiers and talked about everything together. They were not like leaders, but more like everyone's big brothers and good friends. The soldiers of the volunteer army respected them from the bottom of their hearts.
After more than a year of hard fighting, under the command of Peng Dehuai and Deng Hua, the Chinese Volunteer Army overcame many difficulties and finally repelled the enemy to the south of 38th parallel in the fifth battle, firmly grasping the initiative in the war.
At this time, the Party Central Committee sent General Chen Geng to fight in Korea.
After hearing this news, Deng Hua believed that his qualifications and abilities were not enough, so he took the initiative to find Peng Dehuai and wanted to give up his position as deputy commander to Chen Geng.
Peng Dehuai refused: "I don't agree! You can be your deputy commander with peace of mind. No one can shake your position when you come!"
In April 1952, Peng Dehuai returned to China due to illness. Before leaving, he strongly recommended that Deng Hua serve as the commander of the Volunteer Army and the Political Standing Committee member, and be fully responsible for the work of the Volunteer Army.
Deng Hua really lived up to expectations and led the volunteer army to achieve decisive victory in the autumn counterattack and the Jincheng counterattack.
In July 1953, under the strong offensive of the volunteers, the United States was forced to sign a ceasefire agreement. The task of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea was successfully completed, and the New China once again proved its strength to the world.
After the end of 's resistance to U.S. aggression and aid Korea, Deng Hua returned to his motherland, and Peng Dehuai personally picked him up . The good friends met again and hugged each other tightly.
bid farewell, and the love of comrades
1959 at the Lushan Conference, Peng Dehuai was wrongly criticized for his courage to speak out, and was then removed from his post as Minister of Defense .
Due to Deng Hua's close relationship with Peng Dehuai, he was implicated and forced to leave the army and work in Chengdu, Sichuan. The general became the vice governor in charge of agriculture.
Faced with this disaster on the road of life, Deng Hua and Peng Dehuai chose to endure it without any agreement. Although they could not drink and talk together, they were all heroes who have experienced blood and fire and would never succumb to any falsehood and lies. They were waiting all the time, waiting for the day when the truth was revealed. It was raining when
. The two comrades who formed a friendship in the war bid farewell, and all their words lost their meaning at this moment. Living safely is their greatest blessing to each other.
Deng Hua took out a golden cigarette box from his arms and handed it to Peng Dehuai.
Peng Dehuai took it over and opened it while laughing: "What baby?"
The box was opened, and it turned out to be a box full of cigarettes. Peng Dehuai smiled and said casually: "Don't you know? I don't..."
Deng Hua asked afterwards: "What did you say?"
Peng Dehuai waved his hand and said nothing, carefully packing the box of cigarettes, Then he stood up and finally shook hands with Deng Hua.
After saying "Take it", the former friends are separated from each other and they don't know when and where they meet again.
1974, Peng Dehuai, who had been tortured and tortured for a long time, finally couldn't hold on and died of illness on November 29.
Before his death, he handed the golden cigarette box he had treasured for many years to his wife , and told her to hand it back to Deng Hua.
1978, The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held. At the meeting, the case of Peng Dehuai was rehabilitated. The day when the truth was revealed finally came, but unfortunately Peng Dehuai could no longer see it.
At Peng Dehuai's memorial service, Deng Hua, who had just recovered from his rehabilitation, worshiped with tears, looking at the portrait of his old friend, and was reluctant to leave for a long time.
After returning from the memorial service, Deng Hua fell ill.
After inquiring from multiple sources, Ura Anxiu finally found the hospital where Deng Hua recovered and handed the golden cigarette box containing revolutionary friendship to Deng Hua.
Seeing that the box was still full of cigarettes, Deng Hua looked at Ura Atsu in confusion.
Ura Anxiu sighed and said, "Actually, he never smokes! He has always treasured this cardboard box over the years, and he will take it out and check it out from time to time, and then post it for a while."
Hearing Ura Anxiu's words, memories surged in front of him. Deng Hua took the cigarette box and hugged it tightly in his arms, crying bitterly.
On July 3, 1980, Deng Hua died of illness.
At his funeral, the golden cigarette box symbolizing friendship was buried with him. There is no doubt that for Deng Hua, this is the most precious gift in the world.
Reviewing Deng Hua's revolutionary career is really heroic, and the love between him and Peng Dehuai's mutual appreciation of comrades is really sad and sighing.
The past has long passed, and the years have settled down are indelible memories, especially the immortal achievements made by the two generals on the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, which are worth remembering forever in our future generations!
