Zhou Xihan's anecdote.
General Chen Geng once said to Zhou Xihan, "Zhou Xihan was born in the ugly year, and' Gui' is a curse. The sky is above people's heads. This guy dares to spread his legs and ride on the sky below. Who dares to provoke him into such a big temper? " Zhou Xihan is thin, high-minded and low-minded, and his mouth is oblique. If contemptuous, he calls himself "the thinnest person in the world".
One day during the Red Army period, Xie Jiaqing, the communications company commander, captured a national army officer and was extremely thin. When Zhou Xihan saw this, he stood side by side with him and said with great joy, "This son of a bitch is much thinner than Lao Zi. Well, Lao Tzu is not the thinnest in the world. "
1930, Marshal Xu Xiangqian saw Zhou Xihan at first sight and sighed: "He looks thinner." Zhou Xihan said to him, "You will only seek, not be brave. Won't Guan Yunchang be defeated because he is tall? What do Zhuge Liang and Pang Shiyuan look like? Didn't you also win the battle? " Marshal heard that, exulting, then refer to the map to test the general. At that time, the general didn't know what the map was, so he replied, "I can't read it." Can you teach me? "Xu Shuai listened to very happy. The general said, "I'm sure I can learn." There is nothing I can't learn. " Xu Shuai patted his head with the palm of his hand happily and said, "This is a good material. "
At a meeting in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time, someone mentioned Zhou Xihan and Mao Zedong and asked, "The one who was almost cut off by Zhang. I heard that he is good at thinking when fighting. " General Chen Geng said to him, "He has a nickname, skinny! I gave it to him. " And draw with both hands: "Hey, so thin!" The chairman smiled and said, "I have seen it, I have seen it." Brigadier General Chen Geng, Political Commissar Wang Xinting and Chief of Staff Zhou Xihan of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Chen Geng has a disabled leg and is called a "lame man"; Wang Xinting is highly myopic and wears glasses, so she is called "blind". Zhou Xihan is extremely thin, so he is called "skinny". Therefore, 386 passengers are called "three-point crew"
Zhou Xihan has been through many battles, and there is not a bullet on him. Some people say that Zhou Xihan is rich, and Zhou Xihan said, "People are thin, the goal is small, and the enemy can't hit it." Zhou Xihan's staff, guards and drivers have no record of injuries.
During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, there was a ballad in Taiyue District:
Listen carefully, Japanese, there is Chen Geng on Mount Taiyue.
Japanese, don't be naughty and let you meet Zhou Xihan. Zhou Xihan, a heavy smoker, is a heavy smoker.
Smoking at the age of seven or eight, even after joining the army.
Zhou Xihan has "three don't smoke": first, don't smoke when sleeping; Second, don't smoke in front of the queue; Third, don't smoke when you meet your head.
War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Zhou Xihan invented the "squatting smoking method", that is, dig a pit, cover the bust, squat in it, cover your head with a coat, and there is no light within 200 meters. According to the cloud, this law has been widely promoted by smokers in various military units.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Xihan bought four cigarettes a month, three for his own use and one for entertaining guests, which was kept by the guards.
Zhou Xihan began to quit smoking in his later years. He took a pair of travel scissors with him, smoked three cigarettes, then cut off the cigarette ends with the travel scissors and smoked again, gradually reducing the number. Rhododendron Mei Chuan
1933 In early July, the Red Fourth Army was expanded into four armies: the Fourth Army, the Ninth Army, the Thirtieth Army and the Thirty-first Army. Zhou Xihan was appointed by the clerk as the chief of the ninth army operations section. 1In April, 935, in response to the Long March of the Central Red Army in the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area, the Red Fourth Army decided to cross Jialing River and Fujiang River and start the Long March.
You need a boat to cross the river. As the section chief of operations, Zhou Xihan began to work around the clock, went deep into the local area and mobilized the support of boatmen.
On the edge of Fujiang River, Zhou Xihan, who had a high fever, suddenly blacked out at the moment and fainted. When Zhou Xihan woke up, he found himself lying on the boat, next to a girl of seventeen or eighteen.
Zhou Xihan wanted to borrow her boat, and the woman spoke first: "I heard that there are female soldiers in the Red Army, really?"
Obviously, women all know that Zhou Xihan is the Red Army. So, Zhou Xihan told the truth: "Yes, of course. There are many in military hospitals. They are all children of poor families and are not afraid of death. "
This time, the woman's face was unusually bright: "I will go with you to be the Red Army. Do you want it? "
Zhou Xihan didn't expect that she would ask this question, but she agreed. "Yes! Why not? "
Through conversation, Zhou Xihan knew that the girl's name was Du Fu. Zhou Xihan did not forget his task and borrowed a boat from Du Fu.
Du Fu is also the spicy taste of Sichuan sister: "Borrow the boat, but take me with you."
Zhou Xihan thought, how can a woman go to the front in a war? So he said, "War is a man's business. Besides, aren't you going to join the Red Army? If our Red Army has discipline, you have to obey orders. "
Du Fu answered simply: "I am not the Red Army yet!"
"Then you should listen to hello. This is a military action, not a war! " Zhou Xihan explained.
Du Fu refused to scratch: "You are ungrateful! My boat is not for you! "
Zhou Xihan said, "Yes, we don't need your boat!"
This time, Du Fu was dumbfounded and gave way obediently: "I'm just kidding!" "
A few days later, crossing the river began. Zhou Xihan, who was busy with operational deployment, never imagined that after seeing the first echelon of the Red Army leave the shore, he suddenly found a familiar figure on board-Du Fu who boarded the first echelon.
When the first echelon approached each other, Zhou Xihan immediately boarded the ship of the second echelon. The river, which is less than a mile wide, will arrive in a short time. The defenders on the other side have been defeated, and the Red Army has captured a large number of ships. The assault battalion commander ran to Zhou Xihan who had just landed, reported nothing, and led Zhou Xihan to the familiar ship. The azaleas lie in the hut.
When Du Fu saw Zhou Xihan, he was speechless. His eyes stared at him intensely, and his left hand was on his chest, tugging at the buttons on his skirt. Zhou Xihan doesn't know whether to stop her or help her. Her skirt has been torn, and a gorgeous azalea is embroidered on her chest. The flower is embroidered with the word "Zhou" the size of a walnut.
My wife Zheng
Du Fu's death reminded Zhou Xihan of Zhou Zheng. This "wife" who married herself but never met.
The thing is, Zhou Xihan was classified as a rich peasant in the "counter-revolutionaries" and returned to his hometown of Macheng County, Hubei Province by way of "expulsion". He found Xu Laigui, the main person in charge of Macheng Soviet, told the story of his dismissal and asked for a "poor peasant" certificate. Xu Laigui did not issue a certificate immediately on the grounds that he had to report to the organization. Zhou Xihan had to go home and wait. Zhou Xihan's father, Zhou Qiyao, was suddenly overjoyed. Isn't it because God sent this three-generation son back to continue the incense? ! Therefore, Zhou Qiyao began to find an object for his son. The female surnamed Zheng is two years older than Zhou Xihan. Zhou Qiyao also exchanged Geng posts with his in-laws. Unfortunately, this woman named Zheng is not famous. Even Zhou Xihan can only call her "Zhou Zheng" when she recalls this past several years later.
When Zhou Xihan got the road from Xu Laigui that "Zhou Xihan lives by renting land, but the poor peasants are not rich peasants, and he asked to return to the Red Army", his father Zhou Qiyao chose a good day for Zhou Xihan. On the same day, Zhou Xihan "resigned" to his father's mercy and bowed his head in the beating.
In the dead of night, Zhou Xihan fled the bridal chamber and went back to be the Red Army.
Ms. Zhou Xuan.
1937, China * * * began to cooperate against Japan, and Zhou Xihan was appointed as the head of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army 129 Division. By 1939, Zhou Xihan had been promoted to the position of Chief of Staff of the 386th Brigade. His marriage problem has aroused public concern, with Brigadier General Chen Geng and Deputy Brigadier General Li Chengfang threading the needle in the middle.
Li Chengfang introduced Zhou Xuan, secretary of Taiyue District, to Zhou Xihan through his wife Ping Li. Zhou Xuan is a famous flower in Taiyue area. Although Zhou Xuan also has this idea, at the age of 17, she has no intention of marrying herself too early.
In this way, the communication between Zhou Xihan and Zhou Xuan is tepid, which makes people very anxious.
The most anxious is the brigade commander Chen Geng. When Chen Geng heard Zhou Xihan say "Zhou Xuan will wait until Zhou Xihan finishes this battle", he said: "The 28-year-old chief of staff can't be single all the time. I think the wedding will be held soon! "
When the brigade commander has something to say, he will organize the horse to move. That night, I was going to fry a few dishes and have a meal, even if I got married. But when Chen Geng announced the "organizational decision" to Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan said "no".
Chen Geng said, "Why not? Get married, get married now, and get married when you come back? "
Zhou Xuan blushed and explained, "I didn't say I would marry him when he (Zhou Xihan) came back. I just told him that I would think about it when I came back. "
Chen Geng laughed: "Come back and think about it is to think about getting married! There is no difference. Comrade Zhou Xuan, * * * produced party member's "Keep Your Word, Keep Your Word". You should be responsible for what you say. Although Zhou Xihan is an honest man, you can't be careless with him. "
At this moment, Li Chengfang and his wife came, and Zhou Xuan stopped talking. Chen Geng thought she acquiesced and walked away.
At the end of the banquet, Chen Geng got a report that Zhou Xuan was missing. Chen Geng paused, thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell anyone yet, send someone to find it."
Zhou Xuan didn't go far. She just felt confused and went out to tidy up. Finally, he pretended to be found by the guards in Zhou Xihan and returned to the wedding reception.
The wedding reception was very lively, and after that, it went into the bridal chamber. However, as soon as he entered the bridal chamber, Zhou Xuan couldn't help crying. When Zhou Xuan cried, Zhou Xihan had to retreat: "Don't be too sad, take time to rest!"
Zhou Xihan didn't blame Zhou Xuan. The next night, Zhou Xuan was still crying. In desperation, Zhou Xihan sincerely said to Zhou Xuan, "Don't be sad. I am to blame for the mishandling of this matter. I am sorry to you, and now I formally apologize to you. You don't understand. I can take you back. I don't understand. We don't have to be husband and wife. I won't force you. We are still gay. You know, although we entered here, we didn't even shake hands! " Say that finish, Zhou Xihan back out again.
These words have touched Zhou Xuan, but Zhou Xihan quit automatically. You can't let Zhou Xuan hold him, can you? ! To make matters worse, on the third night, Zhou Xihan didn't go back to the bridal chamber all night because the troops were leaving the next day and the chief of staff had too many things to deal with. And Zhou Xuan began to wait for Zhou Xihan with shyness and anxiety, but left and right didn't come, so he got angry. The next day, she ran away from home.
Later, Zhou Xihan returned to Taiyue District from the front line and sent guards to meet Zhou Xuan twice, all in vain, and Zhou Xuan refused to come back. After Chen Geng knew it, he reminded Zhou Xihan to pick it up in person. So Zhou Xihan had to go to Taiyue District himself. The deputy director of the district and the heads of two departments came forward to do the work and talked with Zhou Xuan before taking Zhou Xuan back. Zhou Xihan's old age is not mentioned.
Zhou Xihan said: "Soldiers are soldiers, will be generals, and handsome is handsome. One man's army can't fight, nor can a group of soldiers. Whether a soldier can't be said to be a general or handsome, how much credit does he owe to himself? "
The general added: "In that battle, the commander wrote an article saying that it was commanded by the commander, the political commissar said that it was commanded by the political commissar, and the deputy commander said that it was played by the deputy commander. One battle turned into three. How ridiculous! History is not written. "
1In May, 987, General Zhou Xihan retired.
In the autumn of the same year, the Military Museum of the People's Liberation Army held a painting and calligraphy exhibition of the old generals to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army. The work presented by the general is calligraphy vertical axis, with seven characters: dream of Ma Tiejin Pavilion.
