This person who has always been remembered by the military commander Mr. Peng is the leader of Peng, the highest-ranking Red Army general who died in the Long March, and the chief of staff of the Red 3 Army. If he does not die, he is at least a general!
1February, 935, just after the Zunyi meeting of the Central Red Army, Mao Zedong returned to the core of military command. The troops were later called "Sidu Chishui". Under the siege of several Kuomintang warlords, in order to get rid of the enemy and gain strategic initiative, the Red Army repeatedly beat around the bush with the enemy.
The Red 3 Army Corps, like the Red/Kloc-0 Army Corps, is the absolute main force in the Long March of the Red Army, with Peng as the head, Yang as the political commissar and Yang as the chief of staff.
The Central Military Commission asked the Red 3 Army Corps to win Zunyi City again before the end of the month. After several days of fierce fighting, the Red Army has defeated the snipers of Guizhou King and Guizhou Provincial Chairman Wang Jialie several times and approached Zunyi City. In order to capture Zunyi City quickly, Deng Ping, chief of staff of the Red 3 Corps, came to the Red1/KLOC-0 Corps to inspect the battlefield and boost morale.
On the afternoon of the 27th, the Red Army launched a general attack and captured Zunyi City. Deng Ping took the lead and rushed forward, constantly shouting: "Comrades, rush! Chase! Catch up with Zunyi and capture Wang Jialie alive! " Under Deng Ping's personal command, the siege war was exceptionally smooth and sweeping, and it rushed into Zunyi New Town and made great progress in conquering Zunyi.
Subsequently, in order to capture the old city of Zunyi, Deng Ping led Zhang Aiping, political commissar of the Red 1 1 regiment, and Lan Guoqing, chief of staff, under the leadership of local villagers, to scout the enemy defenders in the old city of Zunyi.
After observation, Deng Ping decided to send a battalion and a reconnaissance platoon to cross the river, ambush under the wall, climb the wall at night after the arrival of the main force of the legion, and launch a general attack.
When Sanying crossed the river and touched the wall of Zunyi Old Town, Deng Ping found soldiers climbing the wall through the telescope and asked Zhang Aiping, "Who told them to climb the city? Which one is the first? " Then he said, "Is the task clear? The 3rd Battalion must have made a mistake in the mission ... You should hold off the enemy guarding the city first and launch a general attack after the main force of the Legion arrives. Be sure to win Zunyi before dawn tomorrow. "
At this time, a small correspondent flew over and reported the situation to Deng Ping. After the report, the little soldier gave Deng Pingjing a military salute and ran back to the wall. Unexpectedly, this salute exposed the positions of Deng Ping and other senior generals, which indirectly led to the death of the Red Army warrior.
While observing with binoculars, Deng Ping and Zhang Aiping confessed: "The situation is urgent, and Xue Yue, the enemy of Zunyi, may arrive tomorrow ..." Before the words were finished, a bullet went through Deng Ping's head, and his head landed on Zhang Aiping's shoulder, and blood splashed all over Zhang Aiping.
The young red army chief of staff and his right-hand man Peng have been buried in this hot land ever since. Deng Ping was only 27 years old when he died!
Angry Zhang Aiping immediately reported the bad news to Peng, the head of the Red 3 Corps. Peng heard the news like a bolt from the blue. This indomitable Hunan man, Boss Peng, who seldom shed tears in his life, actually shed tears!
Since Peng joined the Red Army, he has lived in a hail of bullets all day and seen too many sacrifices and farewells, but he has never seen his comrades who fought with him fall in large numbers as recently. When the Red Army broke through the Central Soviet Area and started the Long March, there were still more than 80,000 people. On the eve of Zunyi meeting, there are only 30 thousand left!
Bo Gu Kailai and Li De's reckless command ruined the lives of too many Red Army soldiers, who should not have died. Almost everyone is young, and they are all children. Very easy Zunyi meeting ended Li De's blind command, and Mao Zedong, the real god of war, was given a little hope. Deng Ping, his most trusted assistant, died in battle at this critical moment!
Peng, who almost lost his mind, got a call from Zhang Aiping and directly scolded the Red Army Commissioner and asked him why he didn't take good care of their chief of staff. Of course, Peng knows that there are dead people in the war. Zhang Aiping can't be blamed.
Peng's orders were carried out to the letter, and the whole Zunyi City was captured by the Red Army for the second time before dawn. The second occupation of Zunyi was a very important victory for the Red Army. Unfortunately, Deng Ping can't see it. He has been buried in this rugged mountain plateau. Red 1 1 Zhang Aiping, the political commissar of the regiment, brimmed with endless grief and indignation and wrote a seven-tone poem to remember and commemorate his two-year-old brother, comrades-in-arms and superiors:
When will the night sink? Huangpu practices martial arts and helps the world.
Begging thieves in the Northern Expedition brought bullets, and Pingjiang Uprising helped the police.
The "encirclement and suppression" shattered the bitter struggle, and the Long March turned around and shouldered the heavy burden.
At the gates of Zunyi, there was a river of blood, and the three armies cried for horses.
Until liberation, Zhang Aiping, who was getting older and older, still could not forget the Red Army expert who died on the way to the Long March. When he recalled Deng Ping's sacrifice, he said, "It was a nine-ring stick. It went in from the forehead and came out from the back of the head, and blood spilled all over me ... He was in Huangpu Phase VI."
The nine-ring club that killed Deng Ping was actually a German-made M187184 musket, which was a very classic rifle and of course a very old rifle. China was improved as early as the end of Qing Dynasty, and played an important role in the era of Northern Warlords. This kind of gun uses eight magazines, plus 1 bullets in the chamber, which makes a total of nine rounds, so it is called "nine-chain stick", and another one is commonly known as "Jiuzi Mao Se".
Nine-chain stick has fallen behind in that smoky era. Even in the Kuomintang army, it is rarely equipped, but only in local troops, with low strength and fighting capacity, such as Wang Jialie, king of Guizhou. Moreover, Guizhou soldiers in Wang Jialie are famous "two-armed generals": a rifle and a pipe. The shot that hit Deng Ping was definitely not a sniper, because the aiming and shooting distance of the nine-chain stick would not be so strong.
Therefore, we can get the cause of Deng Ping's death: the salute of the little soldier exposed the position of the senior general of the Red Army, so the enemy shot at random, and it was a stray bullet that hit Deng Ping!
After Deng Ping's death, his body was temporarily placed in the lee. When Peng arrived, many Red Army soldiers wept around the chief of staff. Without saying a word, Peng squatted down and wiped the blood on his face with a handkerchief over and over again, leaving tears covered with smoke.
For a long time, Peng stood up and said to Zhang Aiping, "Go and change the chief of staff into a new military uniform. If not, go to the general supply department to get it. Just say what I said. "
Then, I looked up at everyone, patted Zhang Aiping on the shoulder and said, "The road to revolution is still very long. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices! "
At that time, because the Red Army was in the fierce battle of the Long March, it was very regrettable that Deng Ping could only be hastily buried, and neither a tombstone nor any sign could be erected, otherwise it would lead to the crazy destruction of the enemy.
Until 1957, New China was founded. Peng, deputy prime minister and minister of national defense of the State Council, who missed his old comrades-in-arms, gave Su Zhenhua, former secretary of Guizhou Provincial Party Committee, a task: to find the remains. Su Zhenhua conveyed Peng's entrustment to the comrades in Guizhou: "The Central Military Commission is very concerned about finding the burial place of comrades' remains and hopes that the local government will help find the whereabouts of the remains."
Su Zhenhua is a comrade-in-arms of Deng Ping and also participated in the Battle of Sidu Chishui. He has deep feelings for Deng Ping. Deng Ping was a political commissar of the Red Army 12 when he died.
Peng provided Su Zhenhua with an important clue: after Deng Ping's death, Red Army soldiers bought a black coffin and buried their chief of staff in the north of Zunyi City.
After searching in many ways, everyone focused on Yan Auntie, an old worker who helped others in Zunyi that year. According to Aunt Yan, when the Red Army attacked Zunyi City, Aunt Yan was very scared and fled to the mountains outside the city until dark. In the evening, several Red Army officers and men came and bought a black coffin. Later, she heard that the Red Army buried one of their officers on the grave hill of the Luo family.
The staff took Luo Jia's people to the scene to identify them. Luo Jia's people pointed to three graves and said that the two graves next to them belonged to their own families, and the one in the middle belonged to the head of the Red Army and was buried by the Red Army soldiers themselves.
With the consent of the superiors, the work of opening coffins to identify Deng Ping martyrs began.
In front of many staff and local people, after opening the coffin, everyone saw the body wearing a tweed coat, the iron buttons were rusty, the shoes were rotten, and only the soles were left. After cleaning up the floating soil covering the head, you can see a small hole in the frontal bone of the right ear and two cracks in the back of the head.
After re-appraisal, according to his clothes when he was buried, the characteristics before his death, especially the location where he was shot, it was finally determined that this skeleton was Deng Ping's body. All the staff present looked dignified, and they focused on Deng. The Red Army veterans who came to identify Deng Ping's body were in tears.
After that, the staff washed Deng Ping's body again, wrapped it up and put it in a new coffin with a red silk mattress. Temporarily parked in a middle school auditorium, martyrs memorial hall after the completion of the formal placement.
After learning that the body was found, Peng's heart was full of excitement and relief. Under his personal care and guidance, the local government decided to build the Deng Ping Martyrs' Tomb at 1958. The following year, Deng Ping's tomb was built. It was made of sandstone and was convex. The cemetery design is solemn and solemn, and the surrounding evergreen plants are lush.
Resume written by Peng himself:1In March, 935, the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants passed through Guizhou on the way north to resist Japan. In the second war against Zunyi City, Comrade Deng Ping personally went to the frontier to spy on the enemy, and unfortunately died gloriously at the age of 27! Comrade Deng Ping's revolutionary spirit is immortal! (Deng Ping is Deng Ping)
Little known is that he is not only an important senior general of the Red Army, but also a witness of Peng's joining the Party.
During the period of 1927, the revolution in China was at a low ebb. After Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei launched the "April 12th" and "July 15th" coups, they successively launched three uprisings. This year, he was ordered to do revolutionary propaganda in the first regiment of Hunan Independent Fifth Division of the National Revolutionary Army, headed by Peng.
Peng's heart is tied to the world, and he resolutely applied to join the party at the low tide of the Great Revolution. Deng Ping's visit is to help him do the party building work in a league. The following year, others learned that the Hunan Provincial Party Committee had agreed to Peng's application to join the Party. Deng Ping was very happy to learn this important news. He is versatile and painted portraits of Marx and Engels himself.
That night, under the witness of Duan Dechang, the supervisor and party introducer, Peng joined China * * *, and a group of eight party member was formally established, with Peng as the secretary.
On the evening of July 1928, Peng, Teng, and others launched the Pingjiang Uprising that shocked China and foreign countries, and established the Red 5 Army. Deng Ping showed outstanding military command ability and military foresight in the uprising. Peng sincerely praised: "Deng Ping was born in Huangpu, much better than Qiu Ba who came out of my lecture hall."
After the establishment of the Red 5 Army, Peng served as commander, political commissar and chief of staff. Since then, Peng He has started close cooperation. Once he is injured and temporarily leaves the command post, Peng will fidget. When he returned to the post of chief of staff, Peng Hui said excitedly, "My broken wing is back!" "
Their fighting combination lasted until Deng Ping died in the early spring of 1935, a total of nearly seven years!
After Deng Ping's sacrifice, for a long time, as long as I thought of him, Peng couldn't help himself. He often thinks of this old comrade-in-arms who fell in the Long March.
He later recalled Deng said: "From Pingjiang Uprising to Jinggangshan Struggle, from Jiangxi Soviet Area to Long March, until his sacrifice, we worked together and cooperated well with each other. Deng Ping is loyal to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the people. His combat command is calm and decisive, brave and tenacious. He is a very talented and outstanding military cadre ... Deng Ping is unforgettable! "
If Deng Ping hadn't died, he could at least have been awarded a general in the grand prize of New China 1955. Generally speaking, the regimental titles of the main forces of the Red Army are often powerful candidates for the rank of marshal, such as Lin Biao, head of the Red 1 Corps, Nie, political commissar, Peng, head of the Red 3 Corps, etc. The army chief of staff or director of the political department, such as Luo Ronghuan is also a marshal and Su Yu is a general; Look at Deng Ping's subordinates, such as Zhang Aiping and Su Zhenhua, the political commissar of the regiment. They were all generals when they were commissioned.
Therefore, it can be concluded that if Deng Ping lived to be established in People's Republic of China (PRC), he would be an out-and-out general without any accident!
