As early as 193 1, party member Wu Sun, who returned from studying in the Soviet Union, was very disgusted with the guerrilla warfare led by Mao. During the fourth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression", Liu served as the commander-in-chief, and the Red Third Army was frustrated in attacking Nanfeng, killing more than 400 people in the middle of the night. Peng hated this, and then added some gossip, which deepened the contradiction between the two.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Peng changed from a former subordinate to Liu Bocheng's immediate superior, which in itself made his qualifications and merits not inferior to that of Liu Bocheng. Liu Bocheng129th Division suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Guan Jianao, and it's not over yet.
Before the Seventh National Congress, Liu Bocheng went to Yan 'an to write a report on the Hundred Regiments War. Unexpectedly, because of this report, Mr. Peng was scolded in Yan 'an for more than 40 days, which not only made the Hundred Regiments War worthless, but also was labeled with many unacceptable hats. Naturally, in Mr. Peng's view, what happened to him was not entirely due to Liu Bocheng, but it was also related.
1958, Sino-Soviet relations suddenly changed, and the Soviet Union was criticized. The military academy founded by Liu Bocheng bears the brunt because it conforms to the Soviet Union. With Mao's consent, Peng and other generals began to criticize Liu and the military academy founded by Liu, forcing Liu Bocheng to review many times, several leaders of the academy resigned and a large number of comrades were overthrown.
Liu Bocheng, 66, was criticized in Huairentang, during which she made a self-examination in tears, which was worrying. But Mr. Peng didn't expect that after one year, his experience was far worse than that of Liu Bocheng.
It is a tragedy that two outstanding generals have such a relationship.
