Lin Shuai has three partners, two of whom were also awarded the title of founding marshals. Who are they?
Lin Biao was born in Huanggang, Hubei Province. When he was young, he served as a teacher in his hometown. If he had not had later experiences, his life would have been peaceful. However, because he was influenced by Marxist thoughts in his early years, he also participated in revolutionary movements many times. When he was 18 years old, Lin Biao went to Huangpu Military Academy in Guangdong to study alone. After graduation, he joined the Communist Party of China.
Lin Biao is a famous general in the history of our army. He has made many military exploits both in the Red Army period and during the Liberation War. In 1955, Lin Biao was only 48 years old at the time and was awarded the rank of Marshal for his outstanding military exploits. The reason why Lin Biao was able to achieve such an achievement has a lot to do with his own abilities, but the three political commissars who worked with him also made considerable contributions.
It is no exaggeration to say that without these three political commissars, Lin Biao may not have such an honor. Among these three political commissars, one of them died during the Red Army period, and the other two became founding marshals. So who are the three political commissars who Lin Biao worked with? What experiences and glorious deeds do they have?
The first Peng Qingquan
In June 1930, Lin Biao, who was only 23 years old, was appointed as the commander of the 4th Army of the 1st Red Army. Although he had superb military command skills, Lin Biao was too young at the time and acted recklessly and impulsively. For this reason, the central government decided to assign a steady and excellent political commissar to him to help him handle government affairs. This person was Lin Biao's first political commissar Peng Qingquan.
Peng Qingquan was only 27 years old when he met Lin Biao, but his personality was completely different from the fiery and impulsive Lin Biao. Maturity and stability were synonymous with him in the military, so he was appointed by the Central Committee to work next to Lin Biao. With the assistance of Peng Qingquan, Lin Biao's reckless character has also restrained, and his ability to lead the army has been further developed and improved.
Many people don’t know much about Peng Qingquan, but he is indeed an outstanding military and political cadre. Peng Qingquan was born in 1903. He was a native of Liuyang, Hunan, and received a good education since he was a child. At the age of 20, Peng Qingquan joined the Communist Party of China. For a long time, Peng Qingquan used his identity as a teacher as a cover to vigorously promote communist ideas.
In 1924, Peng Qingquan, who was only 21 years old, launched the peasant movement and established the first rural party branch in Liuyang . However, because his actions aroused dissatisfaction from the school, he finally had to return to his hometown to continue the communist cause. In the next three years, Peng Qingquan has been active in Liuyang. He actively organized peasant armed forces, established the Liuyang Workers and Peasants Volunteer Team, and fought against the local reactionaries many times.
In early 1927, the Liuyang Workers and Peasants Volunteer Team organized by Peng Qingquan was formally established. In August 1927, Peng Qingquan and Chairman Mao met successfully for the first time. During the conversation, both of them were full of confidence in China's revolutionary mission, so the two people communicated very smoothly and happily throughout the process.
During the meeting between the two, they also encountered more than a dozen members of the regiment. In order to allow Chairman Mao to leave smoothly, Peng Qingquan deliberately dropped the silver dollar he was carrying, which led to his arrest by the regiment. Fortunately, Peng Qingquan's life was not threatened. It was precisely because of this encounter that Peng Qingquan and Chairman Mao forged a profound revolutionary friendship.
After the outbreak of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, the Liuyang Workers and Peasants Volunteer Team organized and established by Peng Qingquan became an indispensable force. Although the uprising was unsuccessful, Peng Qingquan was also well-known in the military. In the next three years, Peng Qingquan did not stop his revolutionary cause, and went to Changsha, Wuhan, Shanghai and other cities to carry out revolutionary causes, making great contributions to China's revolutionary cause. In June 1930, Peng Qingquan came to Jinggangshan, became the political commissar of the Fourth Red Army, and was assigned to Lin Biao as his partner. The two won many battles during their cooperation, and later left the Fourth Red Army due to work reasons. It was precisely because of this job transfer that Peng Qingquan's life ended.
In December 1930, Peng Qingquan's actions were leaked by traitors. He was arrested by the Kuomintang security team during the operation and executed without any trial. It happened very suddenly, and a talented person from our army passed away like this. Peng Qingquan's funeral was very simple, but people who received the news still came to see him off.
The second Marshal Luo Rongheng
After Peng Qingquan was transferred from the Fourth Red Army, Luo Rongheng was assigned to Lin Biaoshen as a political commissar. In August 1930, Luo Rongheng officially became the new political commissar of the Fourth Red Army, and from then on his fate with Lin Biao began. Luo Rongheng has always been an all-round military and political talent, and his ability during the war was not inferior to Lin Biao at all.
Luo Rongheng, who graduated from Qingdao University , was deeply influenced by Marxism and had unlimited yearning for revolution. So in 1927, Luo Rongheng joined the Communist Party of China. People say that soldiers have a gangster spirit, but Luo Rongheng's bookish temperament has not changed at all even in the army, and he is always gentle and gentle in dealing with problems.
Since the end of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Luo Rongheng has been following Chairman Mao, and finally followed Chairman Mao to Jinggangshan. He played a very important role in the subsequent struggle to establish the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base, and was deeply loved and appointed by Chairman Mao. Therefore, when Peng Qingquan was transferred due to work, Chairman Mao immediately thought of Luo Rongheng.
During the two years when he partnered with Lin Biao, Luo Rongheng solved all the problems of the Fourth Red Army in order to allow Lin Biao to calm down and direct frontline operations. The longer the two people cooperated, the higher their tacit understanding became. They not only annihilated a large number of Kuomintang troops, but also expanded the ranks of the Fourth Red Army to a great extent.
In March 1932, the direct cooperative relationship between Lin Biao and Luo Rongheng was terminated. Although both of them were regretful and reluctant to leave, they were also looking forward to the next cooperation. The two collaborated again 13 years later, at the beginning of the Liberation War. The two went to the Northeast together to establish a base. In just a few years, they grew a team of less than 100,000 people to over a million people.
Half of the credit for Lin Biao's reputation as the military god comes from Luo Rongheng. At that time, the two men fought from the northeast to Hainan and defeated a large number of Kuomintang troops. The Battle of Liaoshen was the masterpiece of the two. After the establishment of in New China, Lin Biao and Luo Rongheng were both one of the founding marshals of China. However, due to job transfers, the contact between the two began to decrease. Therefore, some people said that there was discord between the two, but this rumor later fell apart.
In early 1963, after Lin Biao learned that Luo Rongheng was hospitalized due to illness, he immediately rushed to the hospital to visit him and even asked his wife Ye Qun to go to the hospital to take care of him. In December of the same year, Luo Rongheng died in Beijing Hospital due to deterioration of his condition. Lin Biao also braved the heavy snow to go to see him off. At Luo Rongheng's memorial service, Lin Biao said that he and Luo Rongheng were good teachers and helpful friends, which shows Luo Rongheng's status in his heart.
The third Marshal Nie Rongzhen
In March 1932, with the transfer of Luo Rongheng, the position of political commissar next to Lin Biao became vacant again. Chairman Mao thought of Nie Rongzhen's calmness when commanding, so he asked him to serve as political commissar. From this time on, Nie Rongzhen has been following Lin Biao in carrying out the revolutionary cause, and their footprints have spread all over the north and south of the motherland.
Nie Rongzhen is from Jiangjin, Chongqing. He has a very high IQ since he was a child and is often praised by his teachers and neighbors. Because he has been exposed to many domestic and foreign books, Nie Rongzhen believes that only by developing industry first can China be truly saved. In 1919, Nie Rongzhen chose to study abroad for five years.
While studying abroad, Nie Rongzhen traveled to various European countries. In order to find a way to save the country, he even went to the Soviet Union to study Marxist theory . Through travel and study, Nie Rongzhen became deeply aware of China's existing problems, so he decisively joined the Communist Party of China. After completing his overseas studies, Nie Rongzhen returned to the embrace of his motherland and met Zhou Enlai while serving as a political instructor at Whampoa Military Academy.
As an early member of the Communist Party of China, Nie Rongzhen had a close relationship with Zhou Enlai, and they had a tacit understanding of cooperation, which played an important role in the early development of the Communist Party of China. In 1927, after the "April 12" coup, Nie Rongzhen left the Whampoa Military Academy and went to Nanchang, Fuzhou and other cities to take charge of the uprising. It was at this time that his abilities came into full play.
In May 1930, Nie Rongzhen began to operate in Shanghai, and he was able to complete his tasks well even under the eyes of Kuomintang agents. In 1931, the traitor Gu Shunzhang betrayed the secrets of the Central Special Branch, and Nie Rongzhen had no choice but to leave Shanghai. At this time, Jinggangshan was in a rapid stage and needed fresh blood to join, so Nie Rongzhen came to Jinggangshan to take up a post again.
Nie Rongzhen worked calmly and calmly. He performed well in the Zhangzhou Campaign in 1932 and was very popular with Chairman Mao. So when Lin Biao needed a qualified political commissar, Chairman Mao did not hesitate to appoint Nie Rongzhen. In the face of the encirclement and suppression operations launched by the Kuomintang, Nie Rongzhen and Lin Biao cooperated flawlessly. The first four times were successful, but the fifth counter-encirclement and suppression operation failed due to the wrong command of Wang Ming, Bogu and others.
It was precisely because of this failure that the Red Army began the Long March journey. In May 1935, the partnership of Nie Rongzhen and Lin Biao broke up, and they did not start working together again until 1937. In September 1937, Nie Rongzhen and Lin Biao won the Battle of Pingxingguan. After that, Lin and Nie separated again, but Nie Rongzhen still performed well in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei anti-Japanese base area. For his outstanding military exploits along the way, Nie Rongzhen was awarded the rank of Marshal in 1955.
Lin Biao has an impulsive personality. If he cannot be matched with a suitable political commissar, he may cause a lot of trouble. It must be said that Chairman Mao has a vicious vision and can assign the right personnel every time. It was with the help of these three political commissars that Lin Biao was able to confidently and boldly command operations on the front line, thus earning the title of "Military God".
