He said he could compete with Patton because he could fight and win battles. If you ask Zhong Wei, which battle was the most enjoyable? That was, of course, the spring of 1947, during the third trip to the south of the Yangtze River, when we attacked the 88th Division of the 71st Army of the Kuomintang in the backcountry of Jilin. Not only did this battle scare the enemy out of their wits, the most exciting thing was that he also fought thrillingly. ?

Extended information:

Zhong Wei is born with a strong character, dares to be truthful, and dares to stick to the truth; at an enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission after the Lushan Conference in 1959, Zhong Wei stood up in a silent battle. In the "battle", he once again "disobeyed orders" and "dazzled the sword", attracting everyone's attention, and once again became the focus of attention; however, in that special era of reversing right and wrong, on this special battlefield where there was no smoke of gunpowder, he failed, and Failed miserably! Having a similar personality to Button, he is not as lucky as Button. After all, his environment is different!

On August 22, 1959, the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission opened again to expose and criticize Peng Dehuai and Huang Kecheng, and eliminate their "toxicity and influence" in the army for 30 years; on the third day of the meeting, Lin Biao's best friend Wu Faxian, then political commissar of the Air Force, was the first to speak: "Here, I want to repay the blood debt from Peng Dehuai." As soon as he said this, the whole audience was shocked. Wu Faxian continued: "It was he who owed the blood debt to the soldiers of the First Army Corps during the Long March. It was he who personally killed a company commander of the First Army Corps."

About Zhong Wei's bravery and good fighting skills, in "Three Years in Northeast China" "Military Materials on the War of Liberation" (compiled by the Northeast Military Region Headquarters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in October 1949) writes about the Dongye Fifth Division, which can be reflected from the side: "This unit is the most energetic division among the Northeast Army and has the strongest assault power. , has made rapid progress, has rich combat experience, is capable of both offense and defense, and is known for its fierce fighting, rushing, and fierce pursuit.
