"Okay, let's take a break and then we'll talk." Just after finishing the report, Chairman Mao reached for the cigarette box on the table and found that it was empty.
"Comrade Deng Hua, take out your Platinum Dragon?" The chairman smiled and looked at Deng Hua. Deng Hua, who was still thinking, was nodded by the chairman, and subconsciously took a cigarette out of his pocket and handed it over.
"Yo, it's really a platinum dragon," Xiao Hua, who attended the meeting together, quipped, "This smoke is not easy to find!" Deng Hua, who reacted to it, looked at the expectant eyes of the other cadres, and had to continue to touch them one by one, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart: Five boxes of cigarettes had been handed over to a large half, and now they had to be taken out!
The chairman looked at Deng Hua's distressed appearance and couldn't help but smile and said, "You, you really don't show your wealth!" Deng Hua scratched his head and said with a straight face: "Chairman, I am here to preserve the strategic policy of cigarette supply, it should be said that it is a long stream of fine water!" ”
This was an episode in 1937, a pre-war deployment conference.
At this time, Deng Hua was not the founding general we remembered with great military achievements, but the literary style and martial strategy he showed in the army had already received the attention and guidance of the chairman.
01 Xiucai can also compete on the battlefield
Born in Chenzhou, Hunan Province, Deng Hua was influenced by a family of scholars and was eager to learn since childhood.
Whether he received a private school education in the early stage or later went to changsha Nanhua Law and Politics School to study, he was a well-deserved "student bully" student. Because of his reading of poetry, Deng Hua had a heroic feeling when he was a child, and from time to time imagined himself as a character like "Zhao Zilong".
Later, under the influence of patriotic ideas, he actively participated in the patriotic movement and took firm steps in the direction of heroes. In 1927, at the age of 17, Deng Hua joined the Communist Party of China as he wished, becoming one of the few highly educated talents in the liberation team.
After participating in the Shonan Uprising, Deng Hua followed the troops to Jinggangshan and became a grassroots cadre under the leadership of Chairman Mao.
On this day, Deng Hua was leading two small warriors to paint slogans on the wall. "The old world will be a flower, and the new society will be built into a brilliant and bright, this sentence is well written!" The slogan that had just been painted on the wall was read out by a thick male voice, and a word of praise was also praised.
Deng Hua listened to the voice somewhat familiar, turned around and looked at it, and it turned out that it was really Chairman Mao. "Hello chief!" Deng Hua quickly pulled the two small warriors to salute and say hello. The chairman took another step forward, smiled and said, "Your slogan is very novel, I haven't seen it anywhere else." ”
"This was written by Officer Deng himself." A warrior answered quickly. When the chairman heard this, he was interested and said to Deng Hua, "Well, Officer Deng is very literate. Can you have another one on the spot? Deng Hua scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "I can't show off my carving insect skills in front of the chief." ”
"Excessive modesty is pride!" The chairman teasingly sent Deng Hua's army.
"Then I'll get an axe at the door and sacrifice the ugly." Deng Hua responded generously. Looking down and thinking for a moment, Deng Hua said the new slogan he thought of word by word: "The world is too unfair today, and the rich are rich and the poor are poor." The rich drink wine from high-rise buildings, and the poor drink the north wind shirtless."
"Good!" As soon as Deng Hua's voice fell, the two little warriors couldn't help but applaud. The chairman also said humorously: "Officer Deng is really worthy of being called a talent in our team!" Deng Hua's heart was full of revolutionary passion like fire, and his ambition was not just to be a military talent.
In 1928, when the team attacked Suichuan, Deng Hua, as the party representative of the company, appeared for the first time on the battlefield of blood and fire.
The sound of planes passing by came from the air.
"Quick, hidden!" Hearing the company commander's order, Deng Hua lay motionless in the bushes, listening to the bombs dropped by enemy planes exploding not far away. "Ah—" a scream came, Deng Hua looked for prestige, and found that it was the machine gun in front of him that had been shot, and the blood instantly stained his shoulder.
Overhead were bullets that kept flying by, and Deng Hua resolutely crawled to the firing point to replace his wounded comrades. Pick up your gun, aim quickly and shoot, knocking out the enemy on the other side.
At the end of the battle, there was a short engagement. Deng Hua held a rifle with a knife in his hand, thinking about the main points of daily military training in his mind, and his hands were fast, accurate and fierce. "Comrade Deng Hua is really a man of both culture and martial arts!" At the end of the campaign, the company commander praised Deng Hua at the summary meeting: "If our recruits go to the battlefield and are as brave as Deputy Deng, then it will be much easier for us to lead the troops to fight!" ”
"Unfortunately, there are many people who practice well below and wet their pants as soon as they arrive at the battlefield." Someone was joking around, causing a burst of laughter from everyone.
Deng Hua stood up and said sincerely, "At the beginning, my hands and feet were also weak. Thanks to the company commander's on-site instructions, I increased my confidence. Then the techniques that are similar to those on paper are put on display. ”
The "first time" represents a new beginning, and the next Deng Hua participated in the pursuit and annihilation war, the defense war, and the ambush war.
After each battle, he would analyze the chairman's military art analysis and study, and then summarize his own experience and understanding. Where he didn't understand, he took the opportunity to ask the chairman directly for advice, and then made progress in the sudden enlightenment and enlightenment. This laid a very good foundation for him to command the operation in the future.

From 1929 to 1934, Deng Hua's military and political qualities were greatly improved. He conscientiously studied the party system and practiced it himself. In his unit, the wounded and sick have received care from the system to human feelings. Soldiers who have been stimulated by positive energy believe in their superiors ideologically, unite in action, and their combat effectiveness has always remained high.
In several anti-"encirclement and suppression" battles in the Central Soviet Region, Deng Hua was even more a pioneer. He led a force of mostly new recruits, captured the enemy commander alive, captured a large amount of sophisticated armament, and even a cooking squad of his men was able to capture an enemy mortar company.
He commanded the troops to fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy army, deliberately marked the road, and led the enemy army to the main force of the Red Army, which was well-rested, and annihilated countless enemies in one fell swoop.
Even Chairman Mao, after hearing about the series of achievements, couldn't help but quip: "Commanders and teams have become famous in one battle!" ”
Deng Hua, who was born as a scholar, gradually grew into a courageous and meticulous revolutionary soldier after the baptism of war.
Later, due to his outstanding performance, Deng Hua was selected to study in the senior command class of the Red Army University. After systematic study of military and political science, his overall quality rose to a new stage.
In October 1934, the Red Army began a difficult long march westward. Deng Hua, then the political commissar of the First Division and the Second Regiment, led his subordinates to complete the task of covering the transfer of the main force of the Red Army and the central organs, and also embarked on a journey of sleeping with the large troops.
On this day, Deng Hua received information that the Anzhou Highway that was about to pass was garrisoned by enemy troops and had a large amount of materials inside.
"Commissar Deng, do you want to fight?" The staff officer with the intelligence in his hand asked Deng Hua, and his face was unconcealed expectation.
"Fight! Take them down and we'll be able to live a few days of comfortable life! Deng Hua said confidently.
After careful planning, the battle was unsurprisingly a complete victory. “...... Platinum Dragon Cigarette 5 Boxes..."
"Cigarettes... Platinum Dragon... It's so yummy, haha! Hearing the guard report that there were cigarettes in the list of booty, or the "noble in the smoke" Platinum Dragon, Deng Hua "soared" and stood up at once, almost taking the water cup spilled on the table.
The Platinum Dragon cigarette was a famous cigarette at that time, and money could not necessarily buy it, let alone on the long march road of extreme shortage of materials.
He laughed excitedly as he walked briskly toward the place where the supplies were stored, as if the cigarette would be able to run on his legs when it was too late.
"Good baby, those 'old smoking guns' have a blessing!" Deng Hua looked at the 5 large boxes of platinum dragon cigarettes and said to himself, as if he did not realize that he was also a "smoking gun".
In recent years, Deng Hua, in addition to the rapid improvement of military quality, smoking addiction has also become more and more large. It was even rumored in the military that Deng Hua could light a cigarette while running, riding, and facing the wind, and never needed a second match, which showed that this smoking skill was also perfectly practiced.
"If you hand it over, there will be no more, so I'll leave it for myself." Deng Hua played his own little calculation in his heart.
In this way, he took a small part from 5 boxes of cigarettes and handed over the rest to the superior department. Deng Hua did not expect that in front of the chairman, who was also a senior smoker, his careful thinking about leaving cigarettes for himself could not be concealed at all, so that the funny thing at the beginning of this article occurred later.

Deng Hua, who came out of the war and smoke of the Red Army years, was like an iron man, his whole body was full of energy, so that he achieved eye-catching achievements in every subsequent stage of the war.
At the end of 1949, New China had been founded for more than two months, and Hainan Island, as the southern gate of the country, had not yet been liberated.
Deng Hua looked at the map on the wall, took a sharp sip of his cigarette, and spat out the smoke again.
He had an idea in his heart that was becoming more and more firm: to overcome all difficulties and liberate Hainan Island.
When there were no warships, officers and men were organized to go to the civilian population to collect wooden boats and then load them with truck engines. After the transformation, the earth gunboats were available, and the command ships were also available. In order to reduce the time for the troops to cross the sea and determine the most appropriate time to attack, he collected all kinds of information and consulted the fishermen; studied the laws of the local sea, and turned himself into a marine meteorological expert.
The soldiers' actual combat experience in crossing the sea needs to be improved, and they have organized maritime training countless times, from boarding to shooting, from ship movements to rifle coordination... A "navy" of the army was born.
The tactic of combining the inside and the outside has existed since ancient times, and it can maximize the effect of the raid war. After asking for approval, Deng Hua dispatched 4 small groups of fighters to smuggle them to the island in advance.
All preparations are for the last attempt. One evening in April 1950, the northeast wind arrived as promised. Under the cover of night, the 25,000-strong team took a wooden boat and headed down the river towards Hainan Island. Deng Hua stood in the command room, looking at the map, smoking one cigarette after another.
He calculated in his heart that the team had met the enemy, the earth gunboats were holding the enemy ships, and the soldiers on the wooden ships had landed ashore...
When he received a telegram from the front reporting that the beach was successful, that he had occupied the position, and that he had begun to attack the enemy, Deng Hua let out a long sigh of relief.
With his heart hanging for a long time, Deng Hua picked up the phone and personally reported the battle situation to the Central Military Commission, and Chairman Mao replied: "Good! Very good! ”
The ensuing battle was overwhelming, the enemy army was completely defeated, and the entire island of Hainan was successfully liberated.
The Battle of Hainan was a complete victory, and everyone from the central authorities to the people rejoiced.
Deng Hua did not expect that in two months, he would rush from the southern gate of the motherland to the northeast border defense and start a battle to change the history of the world.
One day in July 1950, Deng Hua was urgently summoned to Beijing to meet Chairman Mao.
"Chairman of the report, Deng Hua, deputy commander of the Guangdong Military Region, reports to you!"
A loud check-in, a standard salute, deng hua standing in front of the chairman, was a little excited.
"Well, Deputy Commander Deng, I haven't seen you for a few days, which makes people look at it with astonishment." The last time I saw you, I was still at the level of political commissar. While ridiculing Deng Hua, the chairman shook hands with him cordially and patted Deng Hua's shoulder.
"Whether it's the political commissar or the deputy commander, it's all your soldiers!" Deng Hua said emotionally, "You led a recruit egg to the military command." Without your original advice, there would be no current Deputy Commander Deng. ”
"There are many people I have pointed out, and you are the only one who dares to direct the fight against Hainan Island." The chairman smiled and said, "This battle is very well fought!" ”
"The United States will not give up on North Korea, and the situation in the northeast border defense is grim."
。 The chairman began to talk about the main topic: "The Central Military Commission has decided that you will lead the army to defend the border defense line and be ready to participate in the war." ”
"Once there is a war, it is an unprecedented battle." The chairman handed Deng Hua a cigarette, lit one himself, took a sip, and asked Deng Hua: "The enemy has an atomic bomb, we are grenades, how to fight?" ”
Deng Hua's thoughts gradually became clear with the smoke rings he spat out, and he looked at the chairman and said affirmatively: "Use close-quarters tactics and fight with him!" ”
The chairman nodded with satisfaction and said approvingly: "Yes, use our strengths to fight his weaknesses." In the end, you will definitely be able to defeat him! ”
History has proved with results that in the decision to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the chairman's heavy use of Deng Hua is completely correct.
From the Shonan Uprising to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, from the end of the world to the banks of the Yalu River, Deng Hua traversed thousands of miles and fought on the battlefield for decades.
With a pure heart and full of strategic wisdom, he grew from a patriotic youth to a general of new China.
History will not forget, he will always be the cutest person!
