1949, with Chairman Mao's song " Zhongshan storm and rain are yellow, millions of troops cross the river." The Chinese People's Liberation Army launched its final attack on the Kuomintang army. After crossing the Yangtze River, Nanjing is close to you. Chiang Kai-shek also fled to Taiwan Province at this time. Six years later, in 1955, Chen Yi was awarded the title of "Top Ten Founding Marshals". After the newspaper was posted to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek fell into deep thoughts as he looked at Chen Yi's name in the newspaper.
Shengjiang Battle
After a long time later, Chiang Kai-shek pointed to Chen Yi's name and his wife Song Mei-ling and said, "This person is so amazing." Among the many founding marshals, Chen Yi may be the one with the least contact with Chiang Kai-shek, because Chen Yi neither studied at , the Whampoa Military Academy, nor had any interactions with Chiang Kai-shek in his early years. But even so, Chiang Kai-shek was still impressed by Chen Yi.
Life-threatening Guerrilla warfare
Marshal Chen Yi was born on August 25, 1901. He went to France to study at the age of 18. Chen Yi in France was influenced by communist thought and participated in a patriotic parade of Chinese students in France. Therefore, Chen Yi was escorted back to China by French armed forces. After returning to China, Chen Yi and Cai Hesen communicated with each other and joined . The Communist Youth League of China .
Red Army Long March
The following year, Chen Yi joined the Communist Party of China when he was studying at Beijing Sino-French University , and participated in Nanchang Uprising , Xiangnan Uprising , etc.
1933 Red Army Due to the wrong command of Li De and Bogu , the Red Army lost most of its revolutionary bases and was forced to start Long March . Chairman Mao led the Central Red Army to start the Long March of 25,000 miles, but Chen Yi resolutely stayed behind the Central Soviet Area as the main force and waited for an opportunity to attack Chiang Kai-shek's army. At that time, there were only about 16,000 people left in the Central Soviet Area, and more than 30,000 wounded people who were inconvenient to transfer.
guerrilla Chen Yi
Lao Jiang didn't expect that Chen Yi, who was short of money and food, would fight against him for three years. During this period, Lao Jiang even offered a reward of 50,000 yuan to Chen Yi's head. In three years, Chen Yi led the troops to fight until they were out of ammunition and food, and the wild fruits in the mountains were able to survive. After that, Chen Yi was surrounded by Chiang Kai-shek several times, but he successfully escaped danger every time. However, in 1935, Chen Yi's troops completely entered the encirclement of Chiang Kai-shek, which made Chiang Kai-shek think that Chen Yi would definitely find it difficult to escape, so he simply reduced the bounty on Chen Yi's head to 3,000 oceans.
Chen Yi was besieged in Meiling
Chen Yi joked with Xiang Ying after learning about it: "My head is getting less and less valuable, and now it can only sell 3,000 o'clock." But no matter how joking, Chen Yi's army was indeed in a very dangerous situation at that time. In order to keep the troops alive as much as possible, Chen Yi contacted the Central Committee many times during this period, requesting to change the guerrilla tactics, but unfortunately, due to the communication level, he was unable to contact the Central Committee for a long time, which also led to large casualties in Chen Yi's army.
The Red Army in the Long March
After mediating for a long time, Chen Yi finally waited for a reply from the central government, and said on the telegram:
"Your mission is to persist in guerrilla war . We must ensure that the Red Army has vitality, and effective cadres must be assigned to the place." After
, Chen Yi recalled this history and said:
"This kind of resolution is absolutely impossible to write by Bo Gu Li De and others. This must be Mao Zedong's work. Mao Zedong is likely to have returned and have already grasped military power."
General Chen Yi was surrounded by groups
After receiving the central government's instructions, Chen Yi decided to lead the army to launch a guerrilla breakthrough, but Chiang Kai-shek's troops even cut down all the trees on the mountain in order to pursue them. At the harshest time, the troops led by Chen Yi were separated, leaving only more than 200 people. Chen Yi and the commander were almost arrested by the Kuomintang, but fortunately, the Kuomintang soldiers were more afraid of the Communist army's tactics. So when they ordered a search, they turned a blind eye because they knew it would be fine if they didn't search. Once they searched, they fought hard, and they were the ones who died first.
Anhui Incident
Repeated military achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation
1936 The outbreak of Xi'an Incident made Chen Yi a little more relaxed, because Chiang Kai-shek agreed to jointly fight against Japan at that time, and Chen Yi also served as the deputy commander of the New Fourth Army. At this time, Chen Yi's main enemy became a Japanese invader, at least his own people would not stab him at all. He led his troops to guerrilla Japanese invaders in the southern region, which brought heavy blows to the Japanese invaders. The New Fourth Army killed a total of about 130,000 Japanese troops during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, making great achievements in my country's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Huaihai Battle
After the Southern Anhui Incident, General Ye Ting was detained, and Chen Yi was ordered to be the acting commander of the New Fourth Army. This has been done until the War of Liberation. In , the Huaye Field Army was established in 1947, and Chen Yi served as the commander. During this period, Chen Yi and Su Yu partnered and won one great victory after another, which also laid a solid foundation for Chen Yi to become the founding marshal.

Marty Liu Bocheng once said: "I think the people who are best at fighting are Xu Xiangqian and Su Yu." Su Yu is also known as the leader of the founding general and the god of war. The two commanded the Huaihai Campaign with Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping and others. The Chinese People's Liberation Army directly fought against the 800,000 Kuomintang troops with 600,000 people, and returned with great victory when the equipment was completely backward.

Shanghai mayor
When Shanghai was liberated on May 27, 1949, Chen Yi served as the mayor of Shanghai. Before that, there was a small episode, that is, the 100,000 troops sleep on the road. After the People's Liberation Army arrived in Shanghai, General Chen Yi ordered that the People's Liberation Army not be allowed to enter the homes of fellow villagers and could only rest on the road. Locals heard that the Communist Party would avoid it even when they came, because Chiang Kai-shek had repeatedly instilled in the masses that the Communist army was a "tiger, leopard, jackal."
Chen Yi became mayor in Shanghai
Chairman Mao was very satisfied after learning about Chen Yi's decision. After the People's Liberation Army entered Shanghai, the people hid at home and watched the streets, but the Communists did not have any acts of burning, killing, looting, and sat neatly resting on the streets. It was raining lightly in Shanghai at that time. Even so, none of the PLA soldiers entered the homes of ordinary people and all slept on the street at night.
It was the incident of "100,000 troops sleeping on the road" that completely changed the view of the Communist army in Shanghai, and let them know that the Communist army is not a "tiger, leopard, jackal," but a political party that originated from the people and serves the people. Later, General Chen Yi held a symposium in Shanghai to smash the rumor of the Kuomintang.
100,000 troops sleep on the road
During the symposium, historian Zhou Gucheng delivered a speech. He said to Chen Yi: "Thank you for the People's Liberation Army entering Shanghai and liberating hundreds of thousands of people in Shanghai!" , but Chen Yi said to him: "Oh, this cannot be called liberation. The People's Liberation Army entered from outside, you fight from inside, this is called meeting!"
Chen Yi's words instantly eased the atmosphere at that time and brought the relationship between the Communist Party and Shanghai citizens closer. This can also show Marshal Chen Yi's humor and communication wisdom.
Martyman Chen Yi
Chief Chiang Kai-shek has always been very afraid of Chen Yi. In order to solve Chen Yi, he also launched the "Tianzi Special" assassination operation, placing Marshal Chen Yi as the top of the assassination list. However, the assassination plan was not successful. Chiang Kai-shek also said in his later evaluation of Chen Yi: "He is the most difficult and cunning opponent I have encountered in my life. No matter what kind of desperate situation, I can find vitality. If I give me another chance, I will definitely kill him at all costs in 1935. "
Marshal Chen Yi and Meiling Three Chapters
In 1955, General Chen Yi was awarded the title of the top ten founding marshals, looking at General Chen Yi's life. He is omnipotent in literature and martial arts, and he can always find a way out in desperate situations. Marshal Chen Yi is not only good at marching and fighting, but also has some knowledge of poetry, songs and essays."Three Chapters of Meiling" is a poem widely circulated by General Chen Yi: "What do you think today when you have your head? Starting a business is difficult and many battles. Go to Quantai to recruit old subordinates, and kill Yan Luo with 100,000 flags."
Go diplomacy
Marshal Chen Yi is also very good at Go. Under Chen Yi's active advocacy, the national Go team was officially established in 1961. This also created the subsequent "Go diplomacy" with Japan, and eased the rigid relationship between China and Japan. An omnipotent versatile talent like Marshal Chen Yi will probably be more difficult to appear in the future.
