The story about Liu Bocheng that you have heard the most is that he is called "the God of the Army". Liu Bocheng is a native of Kaizhou, Chongqing. Before joining * * *, he was a famous Sichuan Army. That was in 19 16. He went back to Sichuan to organize an uprising and was injured in the battle with warlords.
At that time, a bullet hit the right temple and flew out of the eye socket. Liu Bocheng immediately fainted. Later, he was sent to the hospital for treatment and needed to be taken out, so he had to be anesthetized. But Liu Bocheng refused to use anesthesia for fear that it would affect the brain.
In this way, Liu Bocheng's operation was carried out without anesthetic, and the operation was successfully completed. The German doctor who presided over the operation praised Liu Bocheng's steely perseverance and called him "the God of the Army". From then on, from this doctor's mouth, Liu Bocheng's deeds spread.
Later, Liu Bocheng took part in the Nanchang Uprising and was sent to Moscow to study military affairs. He was one of the few well-trained military talents at that time. 1930, after returning to China, served as chief of staff, assisting Zhou Enlai to handle daily military affairs. 1932 was sent to Ruijin.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Bocheng arrived in Ruijin, Mao Zedong lost military command. It was at the Ningdu meeting held in June 1932. At the meeting, some people who had studied abroad got the support of the Communist International, gained the upper hand at the meeting and gained the command of the Red Army.
At that time, Mao Zedong and other old Jinggangshan leaders were excluded, and Mao Zedong, then the general political commissar of the Red Army, had a heated discussion on the future of Mao Zedong. Among them, Peng, Lin Biao and others insisted on continuing the command, while Bo Gu Kailai and Zhang Wentian were removed from their posts.
In the end, Liu Bocheng voted for Bo Gu Kailai and others, which led to the dismissal of Mao Zedong and the loss of command of the Red Army. Since then, Mao Zedong has no voice for a long time. At the Ningdu meeting, Liu Bocheng was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Red Army.
But then, the Red Army lost frequently in the battle against "encirclement and suppression", especially when Li De, a foreign military consultant, was in chaos, which put the Red Army in danger. Liu Bocheng also openly opposed Li De, so he was demoted to Chief of Staff of the Red 5 Army, and assisted Dong Zhentang as a defender.
It was not until the end of 1934 that Liu Bocheng was re-appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Red Army. It was not until Zunyi Conference that Mao Zedong gradually resumed his command of the Red Army. At that time, at the Zunyi meeting, Liu Bocheng firmly supported Mao Zedong and helped Mao Zedong organize the famous Sidu Chishui Campaign.
Although Liu Bocheng once opposed Mao Zedong, Chairman Mao did not care about the past. After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao wanted Liu Bocheng to be the Chief of Staff of the People's Liberation Army, but Liu Bocheng declined, saying that he had been the Chief of Staff for three times and didn't attend.
Later, Liu Bocheng volunteered to build the PLA Military Academy in Nanjing, and Chairman Mao agreed. Liu Bocheng would rather teach on the bench than seek fame and fortune. Chairman Mao spoke highly of Liu Bocheng, saying that "Liu Bocheng is a model of * * *". After that, Mao Zedong visited Nanjing Military Academy, which showed that he attached great importance to it.
