It was after this meeting that Chairman Mao officially began his leadership career of guiding the country and tyrannical. But what is little known is that during the Zunyi meeting, an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee named Kaifeng , made a statement and mocked Chairman Mao for not fighting.

is nothing but I, how can I tell you how to command?

The fifth "anti-encirclement and suppression" operation suffered heavy losses, and a large number of Red Army soldiers were buried under the fierce artillery offensive of the enemy. This is in sharp contrast to the results of the previous "anti-encirclement and suppression" operations. If the lessons cannot be learned and the wrong command policy is corrected in a timely manner, the remaining Red Army troops will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

For this reason, the backbone of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a targeted meeting in Zunyi. After the meeting began, Bogu , , one of the main leaders of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and Zhang Wentian, Wang Jiaxiang and others spoke one after another. Most people believe that the main reason for the failure of the fifth "anti-encirclement and suppression" was that is a major mistake in the strategy and tactics of military leadership.

At the same time, everyone agreed with the opinions put forward by Chairman Mao and Zhang Wentian. that is, gave up the strategies and tactics implemented by the Red Army at that time. because of the relevant strategies and tactics, they completely ignored the gap in strength between the enemy and us, and allowed the Red Army, which was short of equipment and manpower, to directly fight against the Kuomintang reactionary army with well-equipped equipment and sufficient manpower, which was no different from "kowing a stone with an egg".

is to abolish the strategies and tactics in use with , and it is very important to formulate a new combat plan and establish a new leadership and command group . In the Zunyi meeting, most of the people agreed that the Red Army would be commanded by Chairman Mao in the future. Although there were many dissatisfied with Bo Gu and Li De in the army at that time, some people still believed in and supported them, such as Kaifeng.

Kaifeng As one of the alternate members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, also attended the Zunyi meeting. After seeing that most people agreed to Chairman Mao to command the Red Army next, he was more inclined to Bo Gu and Li De, who mocked Chairman Mao:

"Do you know what Marxism-Leninism is? But after reading some " Sun Tzu's Art of War ", do you think you can command the Red Army? The military strategy learned from sorting out is not available at all! Apart from relying on "Sun Tzu's Art of War", what else do you know?"

Not only that, Kaifeng also showed his attitude very firmly: supports Bo Gu and Li De to continue to command the Red Army, and firmly opposes Chairman Mao's military command.

Do you know? Do you know?

When the Zunyi Conference was held, the Red Army was actually at a time of life and death, and was commanded by Chairman Mao and the proposal of was actually the result of careful consideration by Wang Jiaxiang and others. , including Chairman Mao, everyone knows that if no changes are made, the Red Army will face a desperate situation of exhaustion. Therefore, Chairman Mao was actually very angry about Kaifeng's speech.

He looked at Kaifeng who was strikingly and asked quickly:

"Comrade Kaifeng, have you read "The Art of War"? Do you know what "The Art of War" is in? Do you understand the concept of "The Art of War"? Since you haven't read it, how do you know that I fought on "The Art of War"?"

Kaifeng was a little stunned by this, and he didn't know how to refute it. After the Zunyi Conference, Chairman Mao began to lead and command the Red Army. Under the leadership of Chairman Mao, the Red Army troops were like sparks with a prairie fire, rejuvenating new vitality.

Kaifeng, whose personality caused the recovery and even growth of the Red Army, was seen by everyone, including Kaifeng. During the later process of the Red Army's Long March, Kaifeng even completed the transformation from "blacks" to "fans".

"Now, I announce the withdrawal of my views at the Zunyi Conference." This is a true manifestation of Kaifeng's firm support to Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao officially led the Red Army to fight after the Zunyi Conference

In fact, Kaifeng will confront Chairman Mao at the Zunyi Conference, which should be said to be due to his personality. Judging from Kaifeng's own experience, this person is a very qualified revolutionary warrior. Kaifeng 's original name is "He Kequan", and was born in 906. , like Chairman Mao, was deeply influenced by progressive ideas during his study and embarked on the revolutionary path.

Kaifeng 21-year-old joined the Communist Youth League, and has been actively organizing and participating in various student movements.

Progressive youth in the Republic of China

In that era, progressive youth and students were very important, and they shouldered the important task of enlightening people's wisdom. It is also because progressive young people and students are easily suppressed and persecuted. After the failure of the revolution , Kaifeng, as a rare young man who had progressed knowledge at that time, went to Shanghai under the arrangement of the organization, and later went abroad to study and further study.

A few years after returning to China, Kaifeng became a member of the Communist Party of China , and then began to participate in various revolutionary movements under the arrangement of the organization.

Many progressive young people entered the Communist Party of China

In order to facilitate hiding their identity, he gave himself a pseudonym, namely "Kaifeng". During the revolution, Kaifeng was arrested and detained. , but none of these experiences made Kaifeng give up his beliefs. After was rescued from prison, Kaifeng went to , the central revolutionary base of , and participated in important meetings including Fifth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and other important meetings.

At the Zunyi Conference, Kaifeng knew that the Red Army had reached the point of life and death. After all, most of the people who could attend the Zunyi Conference at that time were people with certain talents and had their own unique views on the current situation. However, before the Zunyi Conference, Chairman Mao had not commanded any battles that were considered classics. In the command group dominated by Bogu Li De, Li De was a special military adviser. Bogu himself also went to Moscow to study at Sun Yat-sen University .

0Bogu's two comparisons, Kaifeng will naturally be more inclined to Bogu and Li De. Even though he knew that the Red Army suffered major losses in the fifth "anti-encirclement and suppression" campaign, it was better than directly handing over command to Chairman Mao, who seemed to be a "novice".

Kaifeng is true temperament, he did not hide at the meeting, but directly explained his own point of view. This kind of opposition that is placed on the surface is far more open and honest than waiting for the opportunity to stab someone in the back.

Kaifeng is a genuine old revolutionary

At the same time, Kaifeng is also a person who knows his mistakes and can correct . He witnessed Chairman Mao’s outstanding and wise command and keen and decisive predictive decision-making ability in the process of following the Red Army troops. So he quickly admitted his mistakes and firmly supported and followed Chairman Mao.In the years before the founding of New China , Kaifeng is also under the organization's deployment, and is a genuine old revolution. He witnessed the people and the army under the leadership of the Communist Party and gradually picked the fruits of revolutionary victory.

He has never read it, but I have to see

962, Sino-Japanese relations eased, and Japan sent several delegations to China, one of which was fortunate to meet Chairman Mao. During the conversation, Chairman Mao recalled the Zunyi Conference and Kaifeng. also admitted that when Kaifeng mocked him, he had not actually read "The Art of War". But Kaifeng seemed to have believed that he had seen it, and then he had his own rebuttal. After this matter came to an end, Chairman Mao simply read the "The Art of War" carefully and gained a lot of experience from it.

Chairman Mao later read "The Art of War"

but unfortunately, When Chairman Mao recalled Kaifeng, Kaifeng had become an old friend.

After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Kaifeng , under the arrangement of the central government, went to the Northeast region to serve as a member of the Northeast Bureau and Minister of Propaganda of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. and other comrades are responsible for leading the establishment and consolidation of the Northeast Liberated Area. After the founding of New China, Kaifeng has always held important positions such as the Secretary of the Shenyang Municipal Party Committee. The injuries and heavy work accumulated during the revolutionary period made Kaifeng's physical condition worse day by day. When Kaifeng was in 1955, Kaifeng was almost exhausted. On March 23 of this year, Kaifeng died of serious illness.

Kaifeng passed away in his prime, and he failed to see China's rapid development later. But the glorious years that have been around for decades is a proof that he has spent his hard work in this world. Finally, the great revolutionary warrior Kaifeng: descendants live up to their responsibilities, and this prosperous era will last forever!
