Ding Sheng is a founding major general who is very capable of fighting, and is the commander of the Tiger Head Division under Lin Biao. From the northeast to , central and southern , Ding Sheng always charged forward. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became the main general of the self-defense counterattack against India and made great achievements.

On the war, Ding Sheng said nothing. So, what kind of person is Ding Sheng outside the war? Today I will introduce a story that happened.

In 1953, Zhang Zhen, who had already served as the Minister of Operations of the Military Commission of , told the old leader Huang Kecheng that he wanted to go to the front line of North Korea to train and be a division commander, and he would definitely not be an adviser and go to the front line. Zhang Zhen’s wish is beautiful.

The next day, General Peng talked to Zhang Zhen and said straight to the point, Zhang Zhen, I know your request, and I am going to let you serve as the acting commander of the 24th Army. Zhang Zhen was also the Minister of Operations of the Military Commission, so he went to North Korea and served as the acting commander.

At that time, the commander of the 24th Army was Pi Dingjun. Zhang Zhen left, and Pi Dingjun returned to China to serve as deputy commander of Fujian Military Region . Zhang Zhen was lucky. He seized the tail of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and participated in the summer counterattack.

Soon, the armistice agreement was signed. Zhang Zhen felt that as the Minister of Operations, he should go deep into the front-line troops to conduct research and understand more about the characteristics of the enemy and the actual situation of the war. He gave General Peng a report and asked to go to the front-line troops of the Volunteer Army for investigation and inspection.

General Peng approved it. The first stop of Zhang Zhen's inspection was the 54th Army. The 54th Army was a special army. In 1952, the 44th Army and the 45th Army of the Fourth Field Army were combined into one army. This was the 54th Army, with Ding Sheng as the commander.

Zhang Zhen came to the 54th Army and Ding Sheng warmly received it. North Korea's mountain roads are difficult to walk, and car accidents are prone to occur if you are not careful. Zhang Zhen had just arrived at the 54th Army for a day to inspect. On the way to a high ground, the car driving in front was not braked, forcing the rear wheels of the car that Zhang Zhen was riding to slide down.

In order to reduce the weight of the car, Zhang Zhen chose to jump out of the car. At that moment, the tragedy happened. The driver suddenly turned around and couldn't brake. The car rolled over Zhang Zhen's waist, and Zhang Zhen's head was also hit hard.

The accompanying doctor quickly injected Zhang Zhen with morphine. Zhang Zhen fell asleep on the side of the road for 3 hours, and was then sent to the 54th Army headquarters. No one expected that such a thing would happen. Zhang Zhen had an accident in the 54th Army, and Ding Sheng was very sad.

The most urgent task is to save people quickly. The troops can be on the front line, and medical conditions are limited. Ding Sheng vacated his place to temporarily serve as a ward for Zhang Zhen. Deputy Commander Wu Ruishan came to take care of Zhang Zhen himself. The Volunteer Army Command quickly sent a medical team to rescue him, and Zhang Zhen turned the crisis into safety.

Zhang Zhen is a general of Third Field Army , and has served as the chief of staff of the Third Field Army, while Ding Sheng is a general of the Fourth Field Army and the commander of the Tiger Head Division. During the revolutionary war years, they had very little interaction, but Ding Sheng was very concerned about Zhang Zhen and was very humane, because everyone was a revolutionary comrade and a revolutionary comrade.

gave up his residence. Where did Ding Sheng, the commander of the dignified army, live? Zhang Zhen was very sad and very grateful to Ding Sheng. Coincidentally, after returning from North Korea, Ding Sheng and Zhang Zhen both entered the Battle Department of Nanjing Military Academy. They had been classmates for three years and were really destined to be together.

In 1962, Zhang Zhen served as the dean of Nanjing Military Academy . In order to better train students, after the victory of the self-defense counterattack against India in 1962, Zhang Zhen specially invited the very beautiful commander Ding Shengjun to the academy to give a report.

Ding Sheng came happily for the invitation of his old classmates and fulfilled his mission. He showed up and used his personal experience to let the students understand the significance of this self-defense counterattack and his experience in fighting in the Tibetan Plateau area.

1966, Zhang Zhen went to an experimental base of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission to inspect the work and met Ding Sheng again. Everyone took a photo together. In the photo of
