Among the founding generals, General Chen Shiju seemed a little different. He was upright and quite arrogant.

General Chen Shiju was a native of Jingmen, Hubei. In his early years, he dropped out of school to work and worked as an apprentice because of his poor family. Later, he joined the Agricultural Association and embarked on the revolutionary road. In 1927, 18-year-old Chen Shiju participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and later followed the team to join the Jinggangshan , in the Red Army he served as platoon leader, battalion commander and other positions.

During the Red Army period, Chen Shiju served as chief of staff and acting commander of the 30th Red Army. After the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, Chen Shiju was appointed as the chief of staff of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division. The brigade commander was the famous general Chen Guang. It is worth mentioning that in During the Battle of Guangyang , Chen Shiju cleverly ambushed more than a thousand Japanese troops and captured Japanese prisoners for the first time.

However, compared to the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Shiju’s contribution in the War of Liberation was greater. Looking at General Chen Shiju’s life, it can be said that he had three outstanding contributions, but he also offended four of his immediate superiors. One of his major contributions was to promote The smooth progress of Lunan Campaign was achieved.

The Battle of Lunan was a large-scale annihilation war, killing more than 53,000 enemies. It was the first time on the battlefield in East China to use mobile warfare to annihilate 2 reorganized divisions of the Kuomintang army, crushing the enemy's attack on Linyi . More importantly, this battle It was the first battle in Shandong and was of great significance.

However, the process of deciding to fight the Lunan Campaign was very difficult. In 1947, Chen Shiju became the chief of staff of the East China Field Army and was the first chief of staff of Huaye. His immediate bosses were Chen Yi and Su Yu. Chen Shiju participated in the formulation of the Lunan Campaign. Chen Yi and Su Yu had different opinions on the battle plan for the battle, and the plan had not been finalized for a long time.

Because the battle plan was not finalized, the battle did not proceed on time. Later, Chen Shiju decisively reported to Chairman Mao, explaining the situation and the differences between the two bosses. At the same time, he personally suggested that the battle be carried out as planned. After Chairman Mao read his report, he made the final decision. Follow his advice.

Later, the Lunan Campaign went on as scheduled and achieved a brilliant victory. However, Chen Shiju's actions inevitably led to the suspicion of reporting to the superiors. It also made Chen Yi and Su Yu a little embarrassed. They offended two people at once. Fortunately, Chen Yi and Su Yu Be open-minded and don’t hold back afterward.

General Chen Shiju's second most outstanding contribution was in the Huaihai Campaign . Although he was nominally the chief of staff of the East China Field Army at that time, the specific work had been handed over to General Zhang Zhen, and he himself commanded the battle on the front line. In In the Shuangdui battle , he led his troops to reinforce the middle field.

At that time, Huang Wei's regiment was besieged in Shuangduiji. Nakano wanted to eat Huang Wei was still a little bit confused. Chen Shiju was ordered to bring more than 100,000 reinforcements from Huaye. However, at that time, Chen Shiju made a request to Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping. The battle was to be fought by He unified command of Huaye and Zhongye.

Chen Shiju had a dispute with the two leaders over the issue of command. In the end, Liu and Deng agreed to hand over the command to Chen Shiju. The subsequent battle was carried out according to Chen Shiju's plan and the Huangwei Corps was completely annihilated. After the war, Chen Shiju did not lead any troops. Take any loot and take prisoners.

In these two battles, Chen Shiju's contribution was outstanding and obvious to all. However, he "offended" four superiors. However, the four leaders did not care about him. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Shiju's development was pretty good. In 1958 , Chen Shiju became the commander of the Engineering Corps.

He did the third major thing during his tenure. He "disappeared" in the vast Gobi with an army of 100,000, and was ordered to secretly build a two-bomb test base. It was precisely because of the high confidentiality of the nature of his work that Chen Shiju appeared to be "" after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Obscurity", but his contribution is indelible.
