This is a photo of East China Military and Political University President Chen Yi and vice president Chen Shiqu . The two first met at Jinggangshan . Mr. Chen was always Chen Shiqu’s old superior. Chen Shiqu respected Chen Yi very much. When Chen Yi was seriously ill in his later years, Chen Shiqu went to visit him in person. On the battlefield in East China, Chen Yi was the commander-in-chief of East China, and Chen Shiqu was the chief of staff.
Chen Shiju is an old comrade who followed Chairman Mao to open up the Jinggangshan base in the fall of 1927. Before the founding of New China, he served as the chief of staff and commander of the Corps of the People's Liberation Army. He participated in and commanded many major battles and made great contributions to the liberation of East China and the Central Plains.
After the victory of Subei Battle , Chen Shiju bypassed Chen Yi and suggested to the Central Military Commission and Chairman Mao:
"According to the original plan, the main force of Shandong Field Army of the Shandong Field Army returned to Jinan, crushed the attack of the Kuomintang army, and cooperated with Huaye to wipe out the Kuomintang army in northern Jiangsu, and then attacked Huaibei ", ensuring the victory of Lunan Battle .
At the same time, report to Commander Chen Yi. When Mr. Chen heard this, he was very annoyed: "You have a radio station, you can send a report, and you can sue me to the Party Central Committee."
Some people say that Chen Shiju is an old qualification in Jinggangshan and dares to challenge Mr. Chen, because he was once Chairman Mao's old subordinate, and no one takes it seriously. This way, it is superficial to understand General Chen Shiju.
Chen Shiju said to Chen Yi: "You are the commander, I am the chief of staff, I obey your command. There is no personal grudge between us, it is all for the victory of the war.
has different opinions on the combat plan and should report it to the Central Military Commission. Especially the plan to fight the 74th Division first has major flaws. If I don't mention it, it is irresponsible for the war."
Three days later, the Central Military Commission sent a telegram to Chen Yi, agreeing to follow the original plan, and pointed out that annihilation war should be fought that is greater than the Subei Battle.
Commander Chen Yi met Chief of Staff Chen Shiju in Beizhuang north of Xin'an Town, and said loudly, "Old Chen, the Central Military Commission agreed with you and Tang Liang's opinions, and fight Lunnan ."
The victory of the Battle of Lunan proved that Chen Shiju's decision was correct. The Battle of Southern Shandong annihilated two complete divisions and one fast column of the Kuomintang army, realizing the intention of Military Commission to "fight a larger annihilation war than the Battle of Subei".
Whenever he talks about the battlefield in East China, Chen Shiju is always excited and he never forgets what Comrade Chen Yi, commander of the Chinese Field Army, said, "Victory is unprecedented one after another!"
The misunderstanding between the two was eliminated. The commander-in-chief is still the commander-in-chief, and the chief of staff is still the chief of staff. The great friendship lasts forever.
Mao Zedong commented on Chen Shiju, one sentence, "You have already had enough of the limelight, and several major battles in the East China battlefield were fought well."
indirectly reflects that he has indeed made great contributions and indirectly proves that Chen Yi's leadership is good. So, it is no surprise that the two generals took a group photo!
In the photo, Mr. Chen’s eyes are like a torch, feeling that he is not angry but powerful, and he is very leader-oriented. In East China, many generals are always dissatisfied with Su Yu because of their qualifications, but when President Chen spoke, they were all obedient.
Mr. Chen relies on qualifications and character, his own ability. Mr. Chen is good at generals and Su Yu is good at generals. Unfortunately, Mr. Chen died young, otherwise he would have made greater contributions and was a good leader in governing the country.
Chen Shiju commanded many wars in East China and was very competent as the Chief of Staff. Chen Yi used it very comfortably. Therefore, this photo shows that the Communist generals are very united and harmonious, which shows General Chen’s confident and calm expression. After experiencing the War of Liberation, the general appears to be in a stable command and has an extraordinary temperament.
Although the two dressed simply, the calmness, confidence and self-improvement of the Communist Party generals were written on their faces. So, you may not have the temperament and demeanor when you wear clothes well. Look at Mr. Chen and General Chen, it is indeed extraordinary!
