In the autumn of 1927, he was sent to the 1st Regiment, Commander of the 5th Independent Division of the Kuomintang Army, to engage in military transportation. In the secret organization, a party branch and a youth league committee were established, and he served as secretary.

On February 27, 1935, he was unfortunately shot and killed while commanding the battle on the front line of the Battle of Zunyi. He was only 27 years old.

Peng is Huaide's close comrade-in-arms

One day in April 1966, a car was driving from north to south on the Yi Highway in Sichuan Province. In the car sat Marshal Peng, deputy director of the Southwest Third Front Construction Committee, who came to Yibin from Chengdu for inspection. When he learned that the car had entered Fushun County, he ordered it to stop. Looking out of the car, I saw the winding Tuojiang River, dotted with sail shadows; rolling hills and lush greenery. I couldn’t help but sigh: It’s really outstanding! No wonder there are so many talented people. Thirty years ago, I had a close comrade from here. It's a pity that he died during the Long March! After saying that, he looked suspicious and remained silent for a long time. Peng was talking about this little-known senior general of the Red Army.

Deng Ping was born in Fushun County, Sichuan in 1908. In 1926, he was admitted to the Wuhan Branch of Huangpu Military Academy and joined the Communist Party of China while in school. He participated in the famous Pingjiang Uprising, served as chief of staff of the Fifth Red Army, chief of staff of the Third Red Army for a long time, served as commander of the Fifth Red Army, and served as the education director of the Military and Political School of the Central Red Army. He successively participated in five counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns, the Changsha Battle, the Ganzhou Battle, and the Guangchang Xiangjiang Battle. On February 27, 1935, he died in the Second Battle of Zunyi at the age of 27.

Since they met Peng in the winter of 1927, they got along day and night, fought side by side for 7 years, and formed a deep friendship.

Jiang Pingju introduced his strategy.

In the winter of 1927, Deng Ping, who had just graduated from the military academy, was sent by the party organization to the First Regiment of the Hunan Independent Fifth Division of the National Revolutionary Army as a soldier transporter. Before the trip, the organization introduced him to Peng, the head of the delegation, and explained the mission of the trip.

Peng, the 30-year-old colonel, came from a poor background, was an upright man, and was an enemy of evil. As early as the Northern Expedition, I met Duan Dechang, a member of the Communist Party, and was inspired to accept socialism. When the Tide Ebbs

In the blink of an eye, one afternoon, the party organization sent someone to secretly inform that the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China approved Peng to join the party. At Peng's party oath-taking ceremony that night, a portrait of Marx drawn by Marx and the oath-taking supervisor hung. Peng's woolen uniform, riding boots, armed belt and white gloves were also carefully prepared in advance. At this time, there were 8 party members in the Independent League, and a party committee was formally established with Peng as secretary. Deng Ping specifically proposed that in the future, when superiors come, they must first meet to confirm their identity and then introduce them to Peng, so as to avoid the leader's identity being exposed and adding danger.

In midsummer, the party organization instructed a group of party committees to hold an uprising as soon as possible to meet the needs of armed struggle. On the evening of July 17, Teng, the special commissioner of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, came to Pingjiang and agreed with Peng and Li that the uprising would be at 10 a.m. on July 22. At 18:00, in a ward of Pingjiang County Hospital, three people studied the preparations and military deployment for the uprising. Deng Ping was responsible for writing notices, slogans and other proclamations after the uprising.

At 10 a.m. on July 22, the Pingjiang Uprising began. After the uprising, according to the instructions of the Provincial Party Committee and based on the uprising troops, the Fifth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was established. Peng served as commander, and Teng served as political commissar and chief of staff.

Fighting for friendship in battle

After the Pingjiang Uprising, Peng, Teng and others led their troops to withdraw from the county and fought bloody battles along the way. First march to the border of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, and then turn south. In late February 1928, they joined forces with the Fourth Red Army led by Mao Zedong in Jinggangshan. Shortly after the division, the front committees of the two armies held a joint meeting and decided that in order to break the enemy's encirclement and suppression of Jinggangshan and provide winter supplies for the troops, the Fourth Red Army would jump out of Jinggangshan and advance toward southern Jiangxi, while the Fifth Red Army would stay in Jinggangshan.

On the third day after the Fourth Red Army came down the mountain, the enemy launched a siege to Jinggangshan with ten regiments of heavy troops.

The rumbling sound of artillery shook off the snow on the pine branches, and piles of enemies gathered at the foot of the mountain in the distance. The defeated enemy temporarily stopped attacking.

The temporary calm will be followed by a more intense and cruel battle. The Front Committee of the Fifth Red Army held an emergency meeting to study the current situation. Peng told everyone: This is the first fierce battle since the establishment of our Fifth Red Army. At present, the enemy has 14 regiments attacking us, and we only have more than 2,000 people. You can't hold on hard, you can only make decisive decisions and organize breakthroughs. Next, I would like to ask the Chief of Staff to talk about the deployment of the breakout operation. Deng Ping pointed to a place on a large military map on the wall and said: "The breakthrough point is at the junction of the enemies of Jiangxi and Hunan." Concentrate our existing forces to form a comparative advantage, take them by surprise, fight a tough battle, and tear a hole. . Until then, frontline units should not be separated from the enemy. Insisting that they secretly mobilized most of their troops to prepare for a breakout battle. I plan to lead the spy company, machine gun company, and mortar company as sharp knives. After the gap was opened, the 1st and 7th regiments served as the left and right wings respectively, forming a safe passage. The political commissar will lead the telephone team and health team to escort all family members and the sick and wounded through quickly, and the commander will lead four regiments to protect the rear. After hearing what Peng said, he waved his hands repeatedly: No! wrong! I came here when I was a soldier in the Hunan Army. As a sharp knife and a striker, you are not as suitable as me. Deng Ping said firmly: You are the leader of the First Army and have great responsibilities. The future development of the Fifth Army depends on you. Besides, there are so many patients and family members who need protection. This is an important task given to you by Chief Zhumao when he comes down from the mountain! It's an emergency. Stop arguing.

According to Deng Pin

In June 1930, the Fifth Red Army was expanded into the Third Red Army. Peng was appointed commander, Teng was appointed political commissar, chief of staff and commander of the Fifth Red Army. On August 23, the First Army and the Third Army met in Liuyang, Hunan to form the First Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. The Red Army was still led by Peng, with Deng serving as chief of staff. After that, the two joined hands and led many famous battles. Peng was deeply impressed by Deng Ping's outstanding military talents and revolutionary spirit of fearlessness in the face of danger and courage to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Help others share their worries.

In the autumn of 1931, the Red Army won its third victory against the "encirclement and suppression" campaign, and the entire army entered a stage of rest and reorganization. Following orders from his superiors, Deng Ping came to Ruijin to serve as the education director of the newly established Central Red Army Military and Political School. After completing the mission in Ruijin, at the urging of Peng Qingling, he returned to the Third Red Army and continued to serve as the chief of staff and commander of the Fifth Red Army.

At the end of the summer of 1933, Chiang Kai-shek, unwilling to accept the failure of four encirclement and suppression campaigns, mobilized millions of troops and, with the cooperation of aircraft and artillery, adopted step-by-step and steady-attack tactics to launch the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign against the Central Soviet Area. At this point, Mao Zedong had been squeezed out of the Red Army, and the person in charge of the central government was Li De, the interim head of the central government and the Communist Party's international military adviser.

On October 18, the Third Red Army followed the orders of the Provisional Central Committee and launched an attack on the enemies of Lichuan. The enemy has 7 divisions and has built a solid defense line 100 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide. There are densely packed bunkers and heavy troops. Every 10 meters there is a gun emplacement consisting of light and heavy machine guns. Its purpose is to attract the Red Army to attack, consume and destroy the Red Army. This temporary order from the central government is exactly what the enemy hopes for. Until the 25th, the Red Army had not achieved its goal of breaking through the enemy's blockade and occupying Zixi. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties and had to drag their exhausted divisions out of the battle.

In April 1934, under the cover of aircraft, the enemy launched a fierce attack on Guangchang, the north gate of the Central Soviet Area, with 7 divisions and 1 artillery brigade. The Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China ordered that Guangchang be defended by the Third Red Army Corps. Don't let the enemy in. Those who violate military law will be put in. Under the military order, Peng and Deng did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly organized the entire army of 12,000 people to enter the position, mobilized elite soldiers and generals, and repaired fortifications and bunkers day and night. At the corps headquarters, Peng's Li De and Bo Gukai, who came to inspect the work, said: The enemy has seven divisions of heavy troops, aircraft and artillery, and the firepower is very fierce. And we only have 12,000 people.

No matter how strong the fortifications are, they cannot withstand enemy bombing. We cannot protect ourselves. Only 12,000 men were wiped out. It is recommended to change to mobile defense, leaving only one company in front to attract the enemy's attack, and the main force to be hidden in the mountains near the city. When the enemy swarms into the city, our main force will seize the opportunity to attack the enemy's flank. Peng took out a picture of "Guangchang Mobile Defense Chief's Determination Map" to add effect to his comments, which he drew all night long yesterday. Li De stared at the map for a while, and a contemptuous and sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: I once criticized this comrade, saying that he spent several years in the Frunze Military Academy of the Soviet Union in vain. I heard that Comrade Deng Ping graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, but after reading this book with many common sense errors, I have to make the same criticism of Comrade Deng Ping. His Whampoa Military Academy is abolished! Hearing Li De's arrogance and the wanton insults, Peng stood up, pointed at him angrily and said: Comrade and I have been fighting side by side for six years. Do you know how many good ideas he has given me and how many battles he has planned? ? How can his military ability be compared to yours, Li De? Li De became angry and shouted at Peng: You must implement the orders of the Central Revolutionary Committee without any changes. Otherwise, the Council

On October 18, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a Politburo meeting in Liping, Guizhou, and decided to abandon the planned plan to join forces with the Red Second and Sixth Red Army Corps going north and attack Guizhou, where the enemy is weak. go ahead. On January 9, 1935, the Red Army occupied Zunyi. From the 15th to the 17th, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a meeting in Zunyi and established Comrade Mao Zedong's leadership position in the entire party and army. Starting from the 19th, under the command of Mao Zedong, the Red Army began to forcibly cross Chishui four times.

On February 23, after crossing Chishui, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission ordered the Third Red Army to recapture Zunyi before the end of this month to mobilize the enemy to return south. On the 24th, Peng and Yang led their troops to march from southern Sichuan and stormed the key points of Zunyi. Loushanguan. When I arrived, I found that Qian's army had occupied the north gate to Zunyi before me.

At this time, showers of rain, sleet and snow drifted from the sky, densely packed and swirling; the cold wind blew, attacking the muscles and bones. Under the oil-paper umbrella held up by the guard, the three held an emergency combat meeting. Peng told them: "We must not only capture Loushanguan and open the passage to Zunyi, but also eliminate all the enemies on the mountain to prevent them from escaping into Zunyi. This will make it more difficult for our army to attack in the next step." Yang Yes nodded: annihilation rather than defeat is the guiding ideology of this battle. At the request of the two leaders, Deng Ping deployed and personally directed the battle. First, the 10th Regiment detoured from the left wing of Loushanguan to the back of the mountain to cut off the enemy's retreat. The 10th Regiment and the 13th Regiment attacked from the front and right respectively. What is particularly spectacular is that Deng Ping concentrated all the mortars in the regiment and opened fire on the enemy positions. I heard high-pitched screams and booming explosions echoing across the mountains and ravines. In less than two hours, a red flag flew on the main peak of Loushanguan.

The Red Army took the lead and advanced, capturing a small town outside Zunyi City at 9 a.m. on the 27th. Stone store. In the evening, we arrived at the foot of Zunyi City.

At the legion headquarters, Deng Ping found Zhang Aiping, political commissar of the 11th regiment, and Lan Guoqing, chief of staff, to study the siege deployment. Deng Ping said: The key to Chairman Mao's strategic plan is to occupy Zunyi and mobilize enemy assistance. Chairman Zhou, Vice Chairman Zhu, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu just called us to warn us that we should attack the city sooner rather than later. If we are late, we will not only fail to achieve our goal, but the enemy will also come for reinforcements. Now that we are exposed under the city gate, the enemy understands our fighting intentions. Therefore, the sooner you launch an attack, the better. I will go with you now to look at the terrain, study and determine the siege plan, and we must capture Zunyi before dawn tomorrow.

Braving the drizzle and biting cold wind, Deng Ping, Zhang Aiping and Lan Guoqing hid in the dense grass and watched and studied. Deng Ping raised the telescope and searched and observed carefully. Suddenly, with a loud noise, a cold bullet with great impact hit his head, taking away the life of this talented young general. At this time, he was only 27 years old.

This unexpected turn of events dealt a heavy blow to Peng and made him feel heartbroken! This tough guy, who had gone through hundreds of battles and crawled from corpse to blood, couldn't help but feel extremely sad and burst into tears. The guard's gentle cry interrupted his contemplation: Leader Liu is here. Liu Shaoqi, director of the Legion's Political Department, held his hand tightly: Lao Peng, you can safely command this war. Comrade Deng Ping's affairs will be handled by our Political Department. I promise you that I will be worthy of the martyrs and satisfy you. Peng nodded, wiped his red eyes, silently picked up the martyr's relics, looked at them carefully one by one, and then handed them over.

Then, Peng took out his pocket watch and picked up the phone: Ministries, it’s time for a general attack. I ordered to attack, capture Zunyi, and avenge the Chief of Staff!

On September 14, 2009, he was named one of the 100 heroes who made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China.
