Lin Biao has many tiger generals, including Huang Yongsheng, Liang Xingchu, Zhong Wei, etc. Today I am going to talk about Zhong Wei, one of them. Many people may know that Zhong Wei is one of the main prototypes of the novel " Bright Sword " Li Yunlong .
Zhong Wei is from Pingjiang, Hunan. He joined Red Army in 1929. His fame is inseparable from Lin Biao. In the Northeast troops, he was the main division under Lin Biao and the division commander who Lin Biao likes to direct command the most. Everyone knows that people with strong abilities have a big temper.
Lin Biao can be said to be very caring about Zhong Wei, because Zhong Wei disobeyed the military order many times, not only did Lin Biao not punish him, but instead said, "You must fight a victory that dares to disobey the order!" It means that as long as you win, it's fine.
In fact, Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" learns from Zhong Wei and disobeys orders to win the battle. During the three battles of Jiangnan, Zhong Wei cooperated with Lin Biao's battle well and reversed the situation on the battlefield.
In early 1948, Lin Biao promoted Zhong Wei from the commander of the 5th Division to the commander of the 12th Column, which was the only one in the entire fourth field . It can be seen that Lin Biao loved Zhong Wei very much and was very optimistic about this "disobedience" tiger general.
Zhong Wei is a straightforward person and never acts around the bush. He has a bit of a good man in Liangshan. He likes to eat it. Every time he goes to a place, he will find local famous dishes and specialties to eat it. After the war, he handed over the troops to the political commissar and deputy division commander to arrange for rest.
When he was awarded the title in 1995, Zhong Wei only praised a major general. At that time, Huang Yongsheng was praised as a general. In fact, Zhong Wei was the commander of the 12th Column in the Northeast, and Huang Yongsheng was the commander of the 8th Column. According to principles, Zhong Wei could be evaluated as a lieutenant general, so Zhong Wei was a little emotional.
Somehow, this angry sentence spread, and Lin Biao angrily criticized Zhong Wei. Although his evaluation of Zhong Wei was a little low, the treatment he gave to Zhong Wei was always at the level of a lieutenant general.
Zhong Wei's straightforward and bold and strong personality is both good and bad. At a meeting, Lin Biao's confidant Wu Faxian said that Peng Dehuai executed a company commander of the Red First Army on the way to Long March 2.
Zhong Wei couldn't stand the rumors. Out of the fierce character of a soldier and did not care about other relationships, Zhong Wei stood up and said loudly: "It was completely out of nothing. Are you there at that time when shooting that cadre? I was there at that time, and I did it. Mr. Peng didn't know about it!"
Then Zhong Wei said that when he was fighting Loushanguan , the army rushed to the hillside. The company commander was afraid of death in the face of the fierce attack of the enemy. He wanted to escape, and even encouraged other soldiers to join him. After being caught by the army, I interrogated and the last shot was executed. What should you do if you were to deal with it?
At that time, only Zhong Wei dared to speak for Peng Dehuai. According to later records, Peng Dehuai was still muttering Zhong Wei's name when he was dying!
1984, 69-year-old Zhong Wei died in Beijing, but he still warned him during his lifetime that he would not hold a memorial service after his death.
