In the war years, the orders of subordinates to superiors were not fully executed like in film and television dramas, without discounting. Sometimes, according to the actual situation of the troops, the subordinates also complained and complained about the unreasonable situation of the superiors.
Like the commander of the 18th Corps and the commander directly, because of the combat mission, and express mutual dissatisfaction.
In November 1949, the 18th Corps held a party committee to let three armies under its jurisdiction march into Sichuan, the 60th Army to western Sichuan, the 61st Army to northern Sichuan, and the 62nd Army to Xikang.
Because Liu Zhongyuan, commander of the 62nd Army, was in Qinghai, he did not participate in the party committee. When he got the news, he got it from someone else.
When the 18th Corps went south to liberate Chengdu, Zhou Shidi convened a party committee to distribute the three armies under his command. Zhou Shidi sent the 62nd Army into Xikang. As for whether to go to Xikang, the military commander Liu Zhong said that it was a discussion or an order, and Zhou Shidi said that it was a discussion.
At this time, Liu Zhong believed that since it was a discussion, he would take a stand on behalf of the commanders and fighters of the 62nd Army. He thought it was inappropriate for the 62nd Army to go to Xikang. Because when marching into Sichuan, the 62nd Army crossed the mountains and mountains all the way and arrived in Sichuan from the dangerous mountain road. It would be unfair to let them into the grass now.
He said that since the time was being discussed, there was still room for discussion, so should we adjust it? As a result, Zhou Shidi said: The 60th Army and the 61st Army have already carried out their work according to plan. In the end, there will be no result.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shidi, the commander of the corps, reflected Liu Zhong's failure to go to Xikang to General Manager He. Boss He called Liu Zhong over and asked why he disobeyed. Liu Zhong also felt aggrieved. Obviously, the seminar becomes an order, and since the seminar will issue its own words and deeds, it is not okay. If it is a matter decided by the party committee, it is enough to directly issue an order, so why go around?
After listening to Liu Zhong's complaints, Mr. He said: This is their unit. Mr. He did Liu Zhong's work again, hoping that he would work in Xikang. Liu Zhong was not a person who disobeyed the organization, he said: It is not that I will not go, and I am not satisfied with the practice of the corps.
General Manager He said that at present, the other two armies have just started to carry out their work, and the order is not good to change. Liu Zhong said that I resolutely carried out the order, which made Mr. He very appreciative of him.
Liu Zhong led the 62nd Army to liberate Xikang, and was commended by The Leaders of the Military Region such as Mr. He.
