learned that General Zhang Zhiyong passed away in Beijing on the evening of May 20, and the scene of meeting an old senior more than 10 years ago emerged.
One day in December 2006, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Long March of the Red Army in , I found the old general. In just one afternoon, I remembered him firmly because his experience was so bumpy and sad! His understanding of defeat was shocking and alert.
One of them, he is a survivor of the "anti-counterrevolutionary" movement of the Red Fourth Front Army. One day in February 1933, Zhang Zhiyong, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the 34th Regiment of the Red 12th Division, was beaten for being accused of being a reorganized faction and was about to be killed. The political commissar of the division, Zhan Caifang, stopped him: "Slow! Let's talk about the situation. He is still young, he is a child!" This stop allowed him to escape the disaster.
The second is that he is a survivor of the Western Route Army. In October 1936, the troops crossed the Yellow River to the west and fought with the Ma family army in the Gulang area, with heavy casualties. After being captured, Zhang Zhiyong broke through the encirclement and survived.
Third, he is a survivor of the "Southern Anhui Incident". Zhang Zhiyong was appointed as the special commissioner of the New Fourth Army Military Department and was ordered to be responsible for the shelter of the fallen people. He organized the shelter personnel into a company, and he served as the company commander to break through, and finally escaped from the God of Death.

Zhang Zhiyong said to me: In the history of our army, the Battle of Xiangjiang River, the Western Route Army, the Southern Anhui Massacre, and the Battle of Kinmen are unbearable to look back on. The Battle of Xiangjiang was from the front army, and he was from the 4th front army, so it was impossible to participate. He failed to participate in the Kinmen Battle, and if he participated, he would not be able to come back. He said: These four battles are worth studying and reflecting on, and the defeat, especially the crushing defeat, is the best teacher.
