Zheng Guozhong and his comrades-in-arms
Zheng Guozhong stood outside the door and waited quietly, and there was no news in the room. He felt a little nervous and knocked for the second time, and this time an old woman came out and opened the door. Looking at the man in military uniform in front of him, the old woman felt a little uneasy and asked in fear:
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
Zheng Guozhong's tears burst out from his eyes, and he immediately knelt down and said:
"Mom, it's Guozhong, my son is back."
The old woman looked at him in disbelief, touching his face with trembling hands, and said:
html l4 "Guo Zhong? Are you Guo Zhong? Son, you're back. For so many years, you have no news at all. We dare not think about your father and I..."
Zheng Guozhong said:
"The son left without saying goodbye back then, because his son was unfilial."
Zheng Guozhong and his wife
Why did the commander of the People's Liberation Army join the army without hiding his family, and why did he not have contact for more than ten years? This all starts with Zheng Guozhong's childhood.
Zheng Guozhong was born in 1913 and his hometown is Hong'an County, Hubei Province. This county has many heroes during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and is also called " General County ".
At that time, under the influence and concealment of revolutionary ideas, many young people actively participated in the revolution, and Zheng Guozhong was one of them. In the war-torn era, the vast majority of working people lived in difficult and difficult environments. The people live in poverty, and it is very difficult to raise a child.
Zheng Guozhong and his comrades
Many farmers at that time were working for landlords, and they were often exploited and exploited by landlords. The family often has no full meal. Zheng Guozhong's parents had no money to support him in school, but they didn't want him to repeat his mistakes, so they raised all the money and sent him to the town to let him learn tailoring. With this craft, it is easier to make a living.
Zheng Guozhong has been smart since childhood. When he was an apprentice in a tailoring shop, he learned a lot of skills and started his career very early. He originally thought he could have a way to make a living. But at that time, everyone basically had no extra money to buy new clothes. In the past, they often used to sew and repair clothes, so they had no business to do, and the tailor could not continue.
In desperation, Zheng Guozhong returned to his hometown in the countryside and worked with his parents. Zheng Guozhong has always been dissatisfied with the exploitation and exploitation of landlords. He longed to change such a fate and hoped that He Baisheng could live a happy life, so the idea of turning over took root in his heart.
Zheng Guozhong and his comrades
Until the end of 1927, the Huangma Uprising achieved a major success, and revolutionary ideas were once again widely spread. Since the establishment of the Huang'an People's Government, people's thoughts have been greatly liberated. Many young people have once again set off a wave of revolution, and the actions of fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land have been launched in various places.
At that time, 14-year-old Zheng Guozhong received encouragement from the revolutionary wave and began to understand Marxism. Since then, he has also made up his mind to follow the revolutionary path.
But because he is the only male at home, his parents think that it is very dangerous to carry out a revolution, so it is better to be honest and be an ordinary citizen and survive in troubled times. Therefore, Zheng Guozhong has never received the consent and recognition from his parents.

Two years later, when Zheng Guozhong was working in the field, he accidentally heard passers-by saying that Red Army troops came to recruit troops. This once again ignited the revolutionary flame in his heart, and he decided to join the army.
Zheng Guozhong immediately put down his hoe and ran towards the conscription office. After arriving, Zheng Guozhong asked pantingly:
"Is this Red Army recruiting people?"
The Red Army soldier in charge of recruitment said:
"Yes, this is the Red Army. Are you here to join the army, fellow villager?"
Zheng Guozhong nodded violently and said
"I am here to join the army. I want to join you and carry out the revolution with you."
Peng Dehuai
Red Army soldiers looked at his thin body and told him:
"The revolution is not a joke, there will be blood and sacrifices. If you want to join us, you should still think seriously. "
Zheng Guozhong said:
"I know you are the team of the people, and they are to help the people. I am not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. I just want to follow you to carry out a revolution. "
After hearing what he said, the Red Army soldier believed his determination and said that he could go to the military camp to report. The Red Army soldier gave him an afternoon and went home to tell his family, but he thought that his parents would not agree, so he had no choice but to say it again , and he had decided, so he had to choose not to say goodbye.
Peng Dehuai
Until late at night, the parents in China did not wait for their son to come home. They were very anxious and didn't know what happened to their son. So they hurried out and asked from house to door. At this time, a villager said that he saw his son had already followed the army at night. At this time, Zheng Guozhong's parents knew that their son had gone to join the army.
I didn't expect that his son was so determined. He actually chose not to say goodbye. The old couple burst into tears for a moment, but they were helpless.
After China joined the Red Army, they trained themselves very hard every day. Because they had been malnourished for a long time, Zheng Guozhong was relatively weak, so he kept forcing himself to make progress and work hard so that they could defeat the enemy on the battlefield.
Peng Dehuai
The Red Army at that time was already facing a very serious form, and the Kuomintang army was always siege After Zheng Guozhong entered the army, he kept fighting or evacuating the Red Army. Not only the Kuomintang reactionaries, but sometimes the landlords would gather armed forces to unite to encircle the Red Army.
Under such harsh conditions, Zheng Guozhong trained constantly every day in order to make himself grow up as soon as possible. Under long-term training, Zheng Guozhong's physical fitness became better and better, and his military talents and military potential gradually became prominent. After several battles in
, Zheng Guozhong made great achievements and soon became the Red Fourth The platoon leader of the army, and in the first year of joining the army, he joined the Communist Party of China.
Every time he faces the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang reactionaries, he will lead his troops to charge, bear the brunt of the brunt, and he can make military achievements every time. Seeing the Red Army's vitality growing tenaciously and continuously, Chiang Kai-shek proposed the "Sichuan and Shaanxi Association" payment plan, intending to annihilate the Red Army in one fell swoop.
Zheng Guozhong and his wife
Faced with Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy and traps, the Communist Party of China has also proposed many countermeasures. The troops led by Zhang Guozhong became the main force to support the Party Central Committee.
In the strategic transfer, in order to enable the large army to retreat smoothly and quickly, Zheng Guozhong would always take his own troops to cover each time, thus buying time for the large army.
In order to accelerate the process of encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, the Kuomintang army increased its dispatch efforts and number, and Zheng Guozhong needed to use a regiment of troops to fight against the Kuomintang army's brigade forces. Every time, Zheng Guozhong would think of many strategic policies, so he also achieved many victories. He often defeated the Kuomintang with less and successfully broke through the encirclement and suppression.
Zheng Guozhong and his comrades-in-arms
After the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression operation of the Red Army, Zheng Guozhong also carried out a strategic transfer with the troops. In Long March , the troops he led experienced the famous Jialingjiang Battle . In this war, Zheng Guozhong once again defeated the more with less and annihilated the strength of a brigade of the Kuomintang. Since then, its name has been widely circulated in the military.
The most thrilling battle Zheng Guozhong participated was a war with the Japanese army in 1942.
1937, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army's offensive became more and more rapid, but the illusion of destroying China was soon shattered by the Eighth Route Army. In order to annihilate the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army at that time gathered heavy troops in the Taihang Mountains area of , , preparing to encircle the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains, thereby annihilation of it in one fell swoop.
The Eighth Route Army at that time was still relatively weak in manpower and equipment, which was very contrasted with the Japanese army with excellent weapons. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army was facing a great challenge to break through at that time. The Eighth Route Army troops led by Zheng Guozhong needed to find a gap to break through, but were constantly surrounded and intercepted by the Japanese army.
Zheng Guozhong and his family
Seeing that the war is getting more and more urgent, the Party Central Committee decided to release Xinkou Battle . There are many fighter jets in the Japanese army, so a unit was first sent to blow up the enemy's plane parked at the airport. Zheng Guozhong's troops were arranged to ambush the Japanese reinforcements at the intersection.
The battle at Yangming Fort had just begun, and the Japanese army sent heavy weapons and also approved many armored vehicles and to support it. But Zheng Guozhong's troops were already ambushed on the road, just caught them off guard.
Because the reinforcements arranged by the Japanese army were dragged down by Zheng Guozhong's troops, the main force of the Eighth Route Army had more time to retreat and retained the strength of the Eighth Route Army more likely.
In this battle, Zheng Guozhong's troops annihilated many Japanese troops, and the 769th Corps responsible for blowing up the plane also blew up 27 Japanese fighter jets in an hour.
Zheng Guozhong and his family
The Japanese army was angry and kept pursuing the Eighth Route Army behind and sent more reinforcements. Zheng Guozhong, who had just ended the ambush, once again volunteered to lead his subordinates to buy time for the evacuation of the large army. Afterwards, Zheng Guozhong led a battalion soldiers to the nearby highlands to block the attack.
There, Zheng Guozhong dragged the enemy troops for a full five hours, during which time the soldiers fell one by one, but no one retreated. The Japanese army felt that they could not pursue the Eighth Route Army through there, so they gradually retreated. Zheng Guozhong, who ended the war, took the soldiers and the wounded to gather with the large army.
The Japanese army would not be so let go, they proposed the " cage policy ". In order to further eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces, the Japanese established many fortifications and bunkers in North China, and strengthened the control of transportation routes.
Eighth Route Army soldiers
The Japanese army also rectified the canal, added strongholds, bunkers, blockade ditches, and blockade walls, and began to implement its "cage policy" of "using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and bunkers as locks".
As the Japanese army's control is becoming more and more strict, the scope of activities of the Eighth Route Army has been shrinking, and the base areas have been divided into pieces. In addition, the Japanese army also summoned many puppet troops to let them spread the rumors that the Eighth Route Army "vades without attacking, only eats and does not fight" to confuse the people and make the Eighth Route Army lose their hearts.
In order to crush the Japanese army's conspiracy, the Party Central Committee ordered a large-scale "anti-sweeping" operation against the Japanese army. Peng Dehuai served as the commander-in-chief and mainly used the guerrilla warfare to invade and severely damage the Japanese army.
Zheng Guozhong and his foreign friend
Originally, this battle was not named, but because the Eighth Route Army, who participated in the battle for three days, reached the 105th Regiment, so Chief of Staff Zuo Quan proposed to call it " Hundred Regiments Battle ".
The Eighth Regiment War was not a turning point in the War of Resistance, nor was it the climax of the War of Resistance caused by the victory of the Eighth Route Army. On the contrary, the Hundred Regiments War was launched by the Eighth Route Army in the most difficult state during the War of Resistance.
At that time, Zheng Guozhong was the leader of the 769th Regiment and also participated in the Hundred Regiments War. In order to win this war, he went to the front line to fight bloody battles with the soldiers. The Hundred Regiments War lasted for a long time. The task of the first phase was to destroy the Zhengtai Road. The main force in front was fighting. Zheng Guozhong led his troops to guard the Lion Nail Mountain and blocked the Japanese reinforcements.
Hundred Regiments Battle
That blocking battle lasted for seven days and seven nights. Zheng Guozhong saw his comrades fall one by one, and he shouted to others:
"Don't cry for me, war will inevitably kill people. There is a battalion left. I am your battalion commander, and there is a company left. I am your company commander, and there is a platoon left. I am the platoon leader. Even if I die here, as long as I complete the task assigned to us by my superiors, it is worth it."
On the last night, Zheng Guozhong's troops were out of ammunition and food, and the soldiers were ready to die, and they fought with the Japanese army directly for bayonets. Even so, small casualties were exchanged for big victory. The next morning, the Japanese army evacuated the route and chose to detour.
Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng
After the end of this battle, Zheng Guozhong's troops annihilated more than 400 Japanese troops, laying the foundation for the victory of the Hundred Regiments Battle. This battle also attracted the attention of the Party Central Committee, and the entire army issued victories and commended them for four consecutive days. Even Peng Dehuai said:
"The troops guarding Lion and Tiger Mountain are really brave and fearless."
After the Hundred Regiments War, Zheng Guozhong's military thought gradually formed a system, and in the subsequent battles, he also made strategic decisions more easily, and his military talents became more and more prominent.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek launched the civil war against the will of the people, and the War of Liberation started again. Zheng Guozhong's troops once again shouldered the heavy responsibility, achieved many victories in the confrontation with the Kuomintang army, and also defeated the Kuomintang army's anti-communist plan. At that time, Zheng Guozhong was already the deputy commander of , the Third Column of the Central Plains Field Army.
Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng
At this time, he followed Liu Deng into the Dabie Mountains. 1 In 947, Zheng Guozhong led his team to launch the famous Zhangjiadian Battle, and together with other People's Liberation Army, annihilated more than 5,000 national troops and destroyed one division and a brigade of the national army. This victory greatly boosted morale and had a great influence on the entire army, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent strategic counterattack, and Zheng Guozhong's name became louder in the army again.
After 18 years of joining the army, Zheng Guozhong never went home or wrote a letter to his home. His comrades asked him why he didn't write a letter to his family so that his family could know his current situation. Zheng Guozhong answered:
"I joined the army and led the troops to fight. My head was hanging on the waist of my pants. I may not be sacrificed at any time. If I contact my family, they will always have thoughts, but if one day I die on the battlefield, my family seems to be disappointed immediately, I don't want to do this."
Deng Xiaoping, Liu Bocheng and Peng Dehuai
comrades then asked:
"Then you haven't contacted your family for more than ten years, don't you miss your parents?"
Zheng Guozhong sighed and said:
"How can you not miss your parents? I miss you every day and miss you wherever you go. But since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma. Now there is no peace everywhere, and fighting for the people is even more important. If you have a next life, I will stay with the two elders and respect them."
Comrades-in-arms were very empathetic after hearing Zheng Guozhong's words. After the troops entered the Dabie Mountains to rest, Zheng Guozhong rarely applied for a visit to the organization because he was close to his hometown. After the organization knew that he had not returned home for 18 years, he immediately agreed to the application.
Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng
By childhood memories, Zheng Guozhong came to his long-lost doorstep. After recognizing his mother with tears in her eyes, Zheng Guozhong's mother immediately asked the villagers to call her father who was working in the fields.
When the father heard that his son was back, he threw down the farm tools and ran home. His shoes fell off twice on the way. Since his son joined the army, there has been no news for eighteen years. The two old men have been waiting for it and waiting for it. I wanted to know the news about my son, but I was afraid that I would wait for the news of my son's sacrifice, so I kept waiting silently.
Zheng Guozhong immediately knelt down when he saw his father running home panting. My father helped him up in tears and said,
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back.""
On the same day, the father killed the chicken and stewed chicken soup for Zheng Guozhong, and the family had a good meal. Night fell, Zheng Guozhong was about to return to the army, and his parents were reluctant to leave, and they knew they could not stop it.
Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng
Zheng Guozhong said:
"Dad, mother, don't cry, wait until your son finishes the war and will come back. Then your son will take you to the city and let you enjoy your happiness. "
After Zheng Guozhong returned to the army, he participated in many battles, including the Huaihai Battle and the Crossing the River Battle , overcoming all the way and fighting the enemy bravely. Finally, the whole country ushered in liberation. After the founding of New China, Zheng Guozhong settled in Beijing and immediately took the two elders to his side. Since then, the family has never been separated.
Zheng Guozhong has been with the two elders to make up for the regret of not being filial to his side for twenty years.
On January 11, 1992, General Zheng Guozhong died in Beijing.
