1974165438+1October 29th, Beijing was a bit cold in the middle of winter, giving people a bleak and sad feeling. On this day, Marshal Peng died of illness and finished his stormy and glorious life at the age of 76.
For various reasons, not many people knew Peng's death at that time, including Zhu De, the commander in chief.
The 88-year-old boss Zhu was deeply saddened to learn that his old comrade-in-arms had died of illness. Because of excitement, Zhu was shaking all over. Then the battle-hardened old marshal raised his head and let the tears flow downwards. Behind these tears, the true relationship between the two founding marshals was also revealed.
As we all know, Peng is strong-willed, stubborn, generous and frank. If he is wrong about people and things, he can be impartial. Even if the person in front of me is the heavenly king Lao Tzu, he is not afraid and scolds him, so many people are in awe of him.
However, there are exceptions to everything. Although Peng has a bad temper, there is one person he respects very much, and that is Zhu De.
We often say that men and women should hit it off, but isn't it the same between the same sex? Zhu Peng and his wife hit it off. They fought side by side during the war. In their spare time, they drink tea and chat together.
They are comrades-in-arms and good brothers in trouble … ..
Peng is younger than him 12 years old, and they met at the end of 1928. This year, Peng and Teng led troops to Jinggangshan, a revolutionary base, and formally joined forces with Zhu De and Gongsijun.
The Red Army joined forces, which also opened the curtain for Peng and Zhu De to fight side by side. Since then, in the long revolutionary career, their names have often been linked together, making the enemy fearful.
In addition to fighting side by side on the battlefield, they are always concerned about each other's safety when marching.
1937165438+1At the beginning of October, the Japanese army captured Niangziguan and invaded Taiyuan on a large scale, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was ordered to move south. In the course of combat, the head of the headquarters is the busiest, not only to direct the combat, but also to consider a series of major issues.
In wartime, time is life. When I am busy, I even forget to eat and rest. At that time, besides worrying about the war, Peng was most worried about Zhu De, for fear that his health would be too much.
In order to relieve the mental stress of Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and gain more rest time for him, Peng and Zuo Quan will carefully make a preliminary plan before each battle. After repeated discussions, they will go to Zhu De for specific research.
At the same time, Zhu De is very concerned about Peng's situation. When Peng arrived at the battlefield, he never thought about personal life and death. At that time, in order to detect the terrain more accurately, he ignored the instructor's dissuasion and ran to both sides of the railway to observe the terrain. At that time, the enemy not only frequently sent planes to spy on the direction of our army, but also frequently bombed Lanzhou Station, which was very crucial.
The comrades around him repeatedly advised Peng not to go to the warning zone, but he just wouldn't listen. Later, the news reached Zhu De, and Zhu De immediately sent a telegram to Peng Fa, "ordering" him to return to safety.
After returning from the security zone, Peng found Zhu De and said sincerely, "Boss, I am ten years younger than you. In order to successfully complete the strategic task of transferring Taihang Mountain area, this is what I should do! "
Zhu De said unhurriedly, "It's okay to complete the task, but you are the commander in chief. What if something goes wrong? Your safety is more important. "
If others say this, Peng will either get angry or not take it seriously at all, but Zhu De will never refute these words.
Because Peng has a bad temper, many people mistakenly think that he is careless, but in fact he is a very considerate and cautious person.
1September, 939, the Eighth Route Army advanced to northwest Shanxi, and Zhu De and others lived in Taiyuan Eighth Route Army Office. At that time, the city of Taiyuan was in chaos, and the Japanese army, Japanese puppet troops, traitors and so on, and even the streets of the city were enemies.
Peng is very worried about Zhu De's personal safety. At night, everyone else is sleeping, but he is completely awake and always maintains a high degree of vigilance. After midnight, although he lay down, he didn't dare to take off his clothes. Every hour, he went outside to inspect himself.
It was chilly at night, and the sentry advised Mr. Peng to have a good rest, but he said seriously, "The Commander-in-Chief is old, and his work is so tense. As long as he and the head office are safe, it doesn't matter whether I sleep or not. "
Peng is very concerned about the safety of Zhu De, and Zhu De is also very concerned about the health of this old comrade-in-arms. He always said to the staff: "Mr. Peng commands the battle day and night and rarely takes a good rest." When looking for a house, be sure to find a quiet one so that he can catch up on his sleep and not drag himself down. "
Zhu De is not only worried about Peng's poor sleep, but also about his stomach trouble. During the Long March of the Red Army, Peng suffered from severe stomach trouble because he often ate highland barley, and sometimes his stomach trouble broke out and he was sweating with pain. But in order not to affect the operational command, Peng forbeared.
After Zhu De knew it, he quickly found the staff of the cookhouse squad and asked them to cook Peng's food for a while and fry coarse salt for a while.
Peng didn't know Zhu De's careful exhortation to the staff. When he saw that his food turned out to be "specially made", he was very unhappy and severely criticized the staff: "The commander-in-chief is so old and still eats the same pot. How can I be special? How can I eat sick rice? "
The staff quickly explained, "Mr. Zhu specially arranged it, and he was worried about your stomach trouble."
Peng Yi was relieved to hear that it was arranged by Zhu De, but he still confessed: "Vegetables can be the same as soldiers, and salt can be fried."
Zhu De's understanding of Peng is comprehensive. Peng doesn't smoke or drink, but he likes tea, which is not allowed. Peng often uses jujube leaves instead of tea.
Zhu De knows Mr Peng's preference for tea, but he can't bear to drink any tea. On one occasion, someone sent Zhu a package of tea, and Zhu De hurriedly told the doorman to "invite Mr. Peng to come to my place".
Peng thought it was urgent. As a result, after the meeting, Teacher Zhu pretended to say, "Guess what good things I sent you?"
Peng didn't respond for a moment, and then Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "This is for you, which can improve you more than Ziziphus jujuba leaves."
A pack of tea contains too much friendship. Peng Rang was very moved. He took it back like a baby. He drinks a little at a time and washes it repeatedly for fear of wasting Zhu De's mind.
Peng has a good relationship with Mr. Zhu. Although the military affairs are busy, every time she goes out, she personally tells the guards to take good care of Commander Zhu, and when she comes back, she has to personally ask Commander Zhu about his diet and daily life.
During the hard years in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Peng and Zhu De loved each other. In those years of bullets, they worked together and drew their swords at once, which made great contributions to the establishment of new China.
Their war friendship continued until the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), and even into their later years. In those turbulent years, their relationship was as close as ever.
1952, Peng came back from the Korean battlefield to make a work report. In a hurry, he didn't even change his clothes. After the report that day, the sky turned white. Peng returned to the guest house and said to the staff as he walked, "Go back and take a bath."
The staff was anxious: "Time is too fast, I didn't bring a change of clothes!" " "
Peng waved and said, "I said to take a shower, but I didn't say to change clothes!" "
As a result, Mr. Zhu came just after taking a bath in the guest house. Peng, who has been paying attention to this matter, heard that his old comrade-in-arms came and greeted him with a shirt. Peng is in such a hurry, mainly because he knows Mr. Zhu's routine and knows that he won't stay up for unimportant things.
As a result, after the meeting, Zhu De took out a set of clean shirts and underwear and gave them to Peng. He smiled and said, "mine may not be suitable, so I'll make do!" "
Zhu De knows Peng very well and knows that he pays special attention to it, but he never thought that time was so tight. Mr. Peng would definitely not bring a change of clothes, so he got up early to send him clothes. This kind of understanding and carefulness is the tacit understanding of working together for decades.
Peng is also not polite. He took the clothes and put them on, saying, "Not bad." .
A few short words expressed their close brotherhood and touched the guards present.
Twenty years after Peng's life, his life is not satisfactory. At that time, because of the complicated environment, many people basically cut off contact with him, but Zhu De never did.
At that time, Mr. Zhu never evaded suspicion. He always takes advantage of climbing mountains with his family to visit Mr. Peng. Every time they meet, the two old comrades will play chess, and they seldom chat or even say a few words, but it is the greatest comfort that Teacher Zhu can come.
Later, Mr Peng was afraid that Mr Zhu would be implicated. Reluctantly, I still want to stop him from coming to see himself. When he said "Never come to play chess again", the two old people must be very sad.
Since then, they have hardly met.
Later, Mr. Peng, who had been a soldier all his life, unfortunately got cancer. He often recalls his days in Jinggangshan. Many times, Mr. Peng cried when he remembered it.
1in the winter of 974, Mr. Peng finished his life. The comrade-in-arms he most wanted to see before his death was Mr. Zhu, but this wish did not come true after all.
The death of Mr. Peng is also a heavy blow to Mr. Zhu. What the old man thinks and remembers are the days when they fought and laughed together. Unfortunately, those scenes can never be reproduced.
Two years after Mr. Peng's death, Mr. Zhu has left. Maybe in another world, they will meet again, laugh together and play chess together. ...
