Huaihai Battle is a relatively important battle in the War of Liberation. After the victory of this battle, Deng Xiaoping and others were very happy, so they planned to hold a celebration banquet to reward the soldiers, but at this celebration banquet, a soldier actually overturned the table angrily.
This person is named Liu Changyi, and is called "Meng Zhang Fei". So why did he overturn the table at that time? How did Deng Xiaoping deal with Liu Changyi's behavior of overturning the table?
Liu Changyi, who charged in battle,
Liu Changyi was born in 1914 and is from Huang'an, Hubei. Because he was born in poverty and had nine brothers and sisters in his family, Liu Changyi's childhood life was very difficult. It was in this arduous environment that Liu Changyi had a deeper understanding of the darkness of society, which laid the groundwork for his later participation in the revolution.
Liu Changyi didn't have much education. After only three months of reading, he dropped out of school and started working as an apprentice in a tailor shop to earn money to subsidize his family. In that complicated era, the lives of the lower class were quite difficult. During his time as an apprentice, Liu Changyi saw too many unfair incidents, which left a deep impression on him.
As things happen, they also increase, and their age also increases. By 1929, Liu Changyi, who was only 15 years old, ushered in an important opportunity in his life. At that time, Red Army went to Liu Changyi's hometown to recruit soldiers. Liu Changyi, who had long heard that the famous Red Army, brought two friends to sign up for the army.
But just when signing up for the interview, the recruiter refused to recruit two people on the grounds that Liu Changyi's two friends had pockmarks on their faces and sores on their heads. Seeing this, Liu Changyi, who had a straightforward personality and a hot temper, stood up for his friends and made a theory with the recruiter. He said that if there was pockmark on his face, would it affect the revolution and going to the battlefield to fight?
Recruiter was speechless when Liu Changyi asked, and in the end he could only agree to Liu Changyi and the other three join the Red Army. After joining the Red Army, Liu Changyi followed Xu Xiangqian, Chen Geng and others successively. With his courage and fearless spirit, Liu Changyi became the platoon leader shortly after joining the army. In 1931, he joined our party and became a glorious Communist Party member.
Liu Changyi performed quite bravely on the battlefield, always charging into battle and looking at death. In the Battle of Xuanda, Liu Changyi continued to maintain his brave combat style, so he was injured twice in a row. The worst time was directly penetrated by shell fragments on his right cheek, and all his teeth were knocked out.
Liu Changyi, who fainted on the ground, was rescued by his comrades and returned to the field hospital. However, no matter how the doctor rescued him, Liu Changyi did not make any noise. Therefore, the doctor judged that Liu Changyi might have died and asked everyone to prepare for his funeral. Just when Liu Changyi was already put in the coffin and planned to put him in a coffin to say goodbye, a careful comrade found that Liu Changyi had made a move, and excitedly carried him out to continue the rescue. After the rescue, Liu Changyi finally came back from the gate of hell.
This is the closest time Liu Changyi has ever been to death in his life. Fortunately, he survived in the end. After rescue, Liu Changyi's life was saved, but there were scars on his right face. We can see this from Liu Changyi's photos.
For many people, after escaping from death, they probably never dared to lead the way again, but Liu Changyi was not like that. After returning from the Gate of Hell, Liu Changyi became more brave, so the soldiers all called him "Meng Zhang Fei", and this name is well deserved.
Liu Changyi, who directly turned the table up,
, relied on Liu Changyi's brave performance, he was constantly valued by his superiors and his position was also rising. By the time of the War of Liberation, Liu Changyi had become the deputy commander of the Third Column of the Central Army. This position can be said to be quite high. From this we can also see how outstanding Liu Changyi made in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In the Huaihai Battle, Liu Changyi annihilated 12,000 Kuomintang defenders in Suxian, and when Huang Wei wanted to wear makeup and escape, Liu Changyi gave him a fatal blow and captured him directly. He made a great contribution in this battle, which was highly praised by Deng Xiaoping.
After the victory of the Huaihai Battle, Deng Xiaoping decided to hold a celebration banquet to reward the soldiers and encourage everyone to continue their efforts. At the banquet, Deng Xiaoping praised the great hero Liu Changyi and took advantage of the atmosphere to make a joke. As a result, Liu Changyi got angry because of the joke, got up, turned over the table and left.
The soldiers present were shocked when they saw Liu Changyi's behavior, but Deng Xiaoping smiled and said, "Let him go." After Liu Changyi left, after deep reflection, he discovered his serious mistakes and found Deng Xiaoping to apologize. As a result, Deng Xiaoping just smiled and told him that he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
So why did Liu Changyi get angry at the time and why was Deng Xiaoping so tolerant of him? In fact, all this is related to Liu Changyi's personality. As mentioned earlier, Liu Changyi is a straight person and has a hot temper, so he can't help but joke. Therefore, after Deng Xiaoping joked with him, he would turn over the table and want to leave.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, many generals in our army were straightforward and honest people. They fought bravely on the battlefield, but in life they were relatively simple. They were angry and showed it directly. After the matter returned to normal, they would not hold grudges against others because of temporary emotions, nor would they delay work because of temporary unhappiness.
There is no doubt that Liu Changyi is such a general who lives casually. Deng Xiaoping knows Liu Changyi's character well, so after Liu Changyi lifts the table, Deng Xiaoping will treat him as if nothing happened. Even if Liu Changyi discovered his mistake afterwards and specifically asked Deng Xiaoping to apologize, Deng Xiaoping will also treat it as if nothing happened.
I have to say that the most demanding generals like Liu Changyi are generous leaders like Deng Xiaoping. It can be said that many of the powerful generals in our army play their greatest role and display their most real talents under the tolerance of leaders with broad minds. Otherwise, many casual generals may be buried.
A leader who can tolerate his subordinates' emotions and tolerate his subordinates' small mistakes is the real leader, and a general who knows his mistakes and can correct them must be an excellent general. The reason why our party can achieve the ultimate victory in the War of Liberation is because of this spirit of unity between the top and the bottom. The most important reason why the Kuomintang failed is that they each have ulterior motives and have serious factional struggles. After constantly internal consumption of , it has long been powerless to confront our party.
Conclusion
955, Liu Changyi was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. In 1979, when self-defense counterattack against Vietnam , Liu Changyi still volunteered to fight, continued to charge, and inspired the soldiers to defend their country and achieve the final victory. To this day, we are still inspired by the spirit of the older generation of revolutionaries such as Liu Changyi. It is their selfless dedication and indifference to fame and fortune that has given us a new China and a happy life today!
