Life of the characters

Early experience

Huang Kecheng, formerly known as Huang Shiyu, was born on October 1, 1902 (August 30, renyin's age in the 28th year of qingguangxu) in a peasant family in Qingcun village, Santang country, Yongxing County, Hunan Province. Since the age of 9, he has studied in private schools for eight years with the help of his relatives. In 1920, he entered the county primary school. In 1922, he was admitted to Hengyang Hunan Provincial Third Normal School. He began to contact Marxism and actively participated in the patriotic student movement. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1925. At the beginning of 1926, he joined the political workshop of the Central Committee of Guangzhou jointly organized by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. After graduation, he took part in the northern expedition. He served as political instructor of the battalion and regiment of the Eighth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and moved to Changsha, Wuhan, Henan, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places with the Ministry.

Agrarian Revolution

After the failure of the great revolution in 1927, Huang Kecheng was ordered to go back to his hometown and secretly engage in the work of agricultural movement. At the beginning of 1928, he took part in the uprising in southern Hunan, organized a peasant uprising and occupied Yongxing County. He served as the party representative and chief of staff of Yongxing Red Guard regiment, resolutely resisted the "left" blind movement policy of Xiangnan special committee, and accused of being excluded for Right opportunism. Later, he went to Jinggangshan with Zhu De and Chen Yi and served as the head of the 35th regiment of the 12th division of the 4th Army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' revolutionary army. Soon he became the second guerrilla commander of the southern Hunan Agricultural army and led his troops back to southern Hunan. But on the way, the team was separated. After hiding in his hometown for a period of time, he went to Shanghai to look for the party organization. At the beginning of 1930, Huang Kecheng was sent to the 5th army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army led by Peng Dehuai. He was a political member of the 8th brigade of the 5th column and the 2nd detachment of the 3rd column. He was criticized for opposing the military adventurism of attacking the central city. Since 1931, he has been the director of the Political Department of the 4th division, the political commissar of the 3rd Division and the 1st division, the director of the Political Department of the 5th army, and the acting director of the Political Department of the 3rd Red Army. In the Changsha campaign and all previous counter "encirclement and suppression" operations in the Central Soviet Area, the headquarters repeatedly accomplished tasks excellently, and several times nearly died due to poor eyesight. In 1931, he was accused of Right opportunism because he resisted the expansion of the "elimination of counter revolutionaries". He was once dismissed as a political commissar of the division and became a secretary of the Corps department. At the beginning of 1932, after he restored the political commissar of the division, he objected to the policy of seizing the central city proposed by the Provisional Central Committee, and opposed the risk of attacking Ganzhou, but it was not adopted. Under the circumstances of being unable to attack for a long time, being attacked by the enemy on both sides, being seriously injured and wounded, and failing to withdraw for many times, he braved the risk of disobedience, decisively led and persuaded some friendly and neighboring troops to stand out together, thus avoiding the serious consequences of the collapse of the whole army. After that, he continued to criticize the "left" adventurism and refused to admit his mistake, so he was criticized and demoted many times. During the fifth "encirclement and suppression" campaign, he was a political member of the 4th division of the 3rd Red Army Corps and took part in the battles of Tuan Cun and Guangchang. In October 1934, he led the army as an avant-garde to start the long march. He broke through the four blockades of the Kuomintang army in a row, fought hard on the South Bank of the Xiangjiang River, tenaciously resisted the repeated attacks of the Kuomintang army, and covered the crossing of the river by the column of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Military Commission. In February 1935, the 3rd Red Army regiment abolished its division, and then became a political member of the 10th regiment, leading its troops to participate in the battles of Sidu Chishui and Zunyi. After that, he was misunderstood because he reflected his opinions to his superiors and was demoted several times, from the chief of the reconnaissance section to ordinary soldiers. After arriving in Northern Shaanxi, he was appointed Minister of the health department of the Central Military Commission, political commissar of the 4th division of the 1st Red Army Corps, and director of the Organization Department of the General Political Department of the Red Army. He participated in the eastern and Western expeditions and the battle of Shanbao.

Counter-Japanese War

When the Anti Japanese war broke out, Huang Kecheng was the head of the Organization Department of the General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army. After in-depth investigation and study of the armed forces, he proposed to the Central Committee to restore the abolished political commissar system in order to maintain the glorious tradition and fine style of the people's army, which was soon adopted. Not long after the establishment of the eighth guerrilla headquarters of the army, Zhang Haijin led the army to take part in the Anti Japanese war. Since February 1940, he has been a political commissar of the second column of the Eighth Route Army, commander and political commissar of the Hebei Shandong Henan military region. In May, he led the 344 brigade and the new 2nd brigade to the border areas of central China, Henan, Anhui and the Soviet Union, and joined the 6th detachment of the New Fourth Army led by Peng Xuefeng to form the 4th column of the Eighth Route Army and serve as a political commissar. In August, he was ordered to move to northeast Anhui and reorganize several troops led by the CPC north of Huaihe River and east of Jinpu road into the fifth column of the Eighth Route Army as commander and political commissar. Then he led his troops to Huaihai in the East, Yancheng and Funing in the south, joined forces with the northern Jiangsu troops of the New Fourth Army who launched the Huangqiao campaign in Baiju Town, and jointly established the northern Jiangsu Anti Japanese base area, which opened up a new situation in the Anti Japanese war in Central China and opened up the connection between the two strategic areas of North China and central China. After the southern Anhui Incident in January 1941, the headquarters was reorganized into the third division of the New Fourth Army, serving as division commander and political commissar, commander and political commissar of the northern Jiangsu military region, and Secretary of the northern Jiangsu Regional Committee of the Communist Party of China. He mobilized the masses, fought for the middle forces, established a democratic regime, expanded the Anti Japanese armed forces, eliminated the bandits, reduced rent and interest rates, organized production and self-help, carried out the struggle against "counterfeiting" and "cannibalism", led the army and people in the base area to smash the Japanese puppet army, and launched a local counterattack in April 1944, commanding the battle of Yangkou in Gaogou, which made Huaihai, Huaihai and other areas more prosperous The two base areas in Yanfu are basically linked together. Before and after the surrender, Japan organized the Funing campaign and the Lianghuai campaign to liberate most of Northern Jiangsu. Huang Kecheng in the Anti Japanese War

War of Liberation

On September 14, 1945, Huang Kecheng sent a telegram to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in his own name, and put forward "opinions on the current situation and military policy". He suggested that troops should be sent to the Northeast immediately, and as many as possible, "at least 50000 people should be sent, and 100000 people should be sent", so as to create a large strategic base. On September 23, the Central Military Commission ordered him to lead the main force of the third division of the New Fourth Army to march into the northeast. On September 28, he led the troops to set out, and traveled day and night, crossing Longhai, Yellow River, Jinpu and North China. On November 25, he arrived near Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, and successfully completed the strategic task of marching into northeast China. In view of the fact that the Kuomintang troops are advancing to the northeast with their superior forces, they also suggested to the Central Committee that the Northeast troops should not fight in big cities and traffic arteries for the time being, but occupy small and medium-sized cities with a main force, establish rural bases and make preparations for long-term struggle. Since January 1946, he has served as deputy political commissar and commander of the West Manchurian military region, deputy secretary and Acting Secretary of the West Manchurian branch of the Communist Party of China, resolutely implemented Mao Zedong's strategic policy of establishing a consolidated northeast base, led the establishment of the West Manchurian base and established the people's democratic regime. From March to April, seizing the favorable opportunity for the Soviet Red Army to withdraw from the northeast, the headquarters annihilated the puppet army and police recruited by the Kuomintang, successively occupied Siping, Changchun and other big cities, and seized a large number of weapons, equipment and military materials. In August 1947, he served as deputy commander, logistics commander and political commissar of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, and established a relatively perfect logistics support system and rules and regulations. In April 1948, he served as secretary of jizareliao branch of CPC, political member of jizareliao military region, and political member of the 2nd corps of Northeast Field Army. He led the local army and people to give full support to the main forces in their decisive battle against Liaoshen. In January 1949, he served as director of the Tianjin military control commission and Secretary of the CPC Tianjin Municipal Committee. Because the deputy secretaries are Huang Jing and Huang Huoqing, they are called "Sanhuang Zhijin".
