The beacon of youth

...The predecessors of the old foundation of the Fengli Fourth Column of the North Field Army were Liu Zhidan and Xie Zichangling.The northern Shaanxi Red Army guerrillas were the old Red Army units that created the northern Shaanxi base area. Without the base area laid down by the Red Army guerrillas in northern Shaanxi for the Central Red Army, which was very difficult at that time, the main Red Army's Long March would have no foothold.

The Long March of the Red Army was an act of necessity. If the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign did not fail, no one would leave the base area that they worked so hard to build. When the troops first set off, they had no specific goals, and the destination of the Long March was still on the way. decision made.

When the main Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, it was already a weak army. After Mao Jianxi and Mr. Zhu led the Red Army (Central Red Army) to arrive in northern Shaanxi, there were still more than 6000 people left ([-] when they set off, This is not counting the thousands of soldiers who were porters at the time and later joined the army, and there are more than [-] soldiers).

The Red Second Front Army (Red Second and Sixth Army Corps) under the leadership of President He Longhe still has more than 1000 people in the back of Shaanxi.The Red Fourth Army under the leadership of Zhang Guotao and Xu Xiangqian.After arriving in northern Shaanxi, there were 4000 people.

Wu Huanxian (the founder of the 25th Red Army, the most outstanding political worker in our army, the soul of the 25th Red Army, died during the Long March, mentioned in the previous article), the Fifth Army of the Second Year of the Red Army under the leadership of Xu Haidong, to After northern Shaanxi, there are still 3000 people.

Together, these main forces of the Red Army have only tens of thousands of people left.But although there are not many people left, all the old Red Army soldiers who have been tempered by the Long March and successfully arrived in northern Shaanxi have become an invincible force in our army and the soul of the revolutionary army. The People's Liberation Army is invincible in the world.

It is precisely because of the Northern Shaanxi Red Army (Red 26th and 27th Army) under the leadership of Liu Zhidan and Xie Zichang that the main Red Army has a chance to breathe. From this point of view, the Northern Shaanxi Red Army has made great achievements. It is not an exaggeration to save the Chinese revolution.

Later, the Four Columns formed on the basis of the Northern Shaanxi Red Army was reorganized into the Fourth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Commander Zhang Dazhi grew up in this army.

This is a general who is both wise and true, and has experienced many battles. He is the first commander of the Fourth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Although he is not very old, he is already a senior commander of our army. The 37-year-old commander is exactly When young and promising.

I saw the Red Army guerrillas when I was a teenager, and I have been fighting for more than 37 years at the age of 20. I don’t know if there is any other army that can match this kind of experience except the ** army.

After reading the full text of the telegram, a commander in the column headquarters asked a little confused: "Commander, what does Noji mean? Why did you ask us to withdraw from the position? We have been attacking the enemy for two days in a row, and the casualties of the troops are not just like that." Isn’t it too cheap for the enemy to withdraw from the position? If we withdraw here, won’t we let all the surrounded enemies go? Was the telegram from the headquarters sent wrong?”

Commander Zhang Dazhi observed the enemy's situation with a telescope and said without turning his head: "No mistake, the meaning of the head of the headquarters is to let us open a hole and let this enemy out."

"Why do this?"

Zhang Dazhi: "It's very simple, because the rice in the pot is too much and too hard, and most of it is raw. We can't eat it. If we eat it hard, we might burst our stomachs. Pass my order, and the troops will retreat across the board. Five kilometers."

As Commander Zhang's order was conveyed step by step, the soldiers of the four verticals, whether they were willing or not, withdrew from the position one after another.

In some individual positions, the soldiers were red-eyed, and it was not easy for them to withdraw from the positions that they had lost with the lives of their comrades. There was no way, and the commanders at all levels had to drag people down from the positions. He told the soldiers that they must understand if they understand, and they must understand if they don’t understand. This is the order of the field division and the head of the column. If you don’t understand, you must execute it first.

As soon as the defensive positions of the four columns were opened, the Kuomintang soldiers rushed out screaming like a flood that opened the gate. Seeing the troops rushing out, Yan Ming, the commander of the Reorganized No. 90 Division, heaved a sigh of relief and called Liu Qin: "Commander Liu, our [-]th Division has broken through the communist position, and the troops have rushed out now, so hurry up and follow."

Liu Kan was overjoyed, and kept making wishes in the walkie-talkie that he would give credit to Yan Ming and report the achievements of the Ninety Division to the principal and Commander Hu. The troops rushed out.

The command organization of the Kuomintang Corps immediately followed the reorganized No.90 Division and rushed out. Immediately, people shouted and screamed, and cars, artillery, heavy lifting, supplies, food, etc. all rushed out. Cars, no matter on the road or in the ditch, as long as they can fall down, they are blocked. Many cars and artillery were overturned into the ditch, and there were still people in the ditch who were crushed by the overturned car artillery. Everywhere in the position... eight ghosts howling, crying for father and mother.It's like the sky is falling and the soldiers are running out regardless, what time is it now?It's time for parents to go out, and it's time to take care of yourself. What kind of **** is an official, what should I do, my life is the most important thing, everything else is fake.

Even Liu Kan's jeep was almost squeezed into the ditch by the fleeing soldiers. Liu Kan was anxious and angry, and ordered his guard battalion to clear a road. The butt of the gun was thrown at the fleeing soldiers indiscriminately, and they almost missed shooting, and finally cleared a way for Liu Kan's jeep to get out.

After running like this, you can see the problem. Soldiers with healthy limbs are fine, just run along. If you think you have a heavy load on your body, you can quietly throw some ammunition. Tell the officer that it was lost in the battle, will anyone know?Anyway, no matter what, you have to run out first, the injured are too pitiful.I couldn't walk or climb, and was thrown all over the mountains and plains, crying, shouting, cursing, and crawling.

A few desperate wounded soldiers saw that no one responded to their shouts, gritted their teeth and rang the grenade on their bodies. The grenade exploded to pieces, but the soldier who was blown down was like a small wave thrown up in a big river. , and was soon overwhelmed by frantic frantic crowds.

The officer Liu Kan also couldn't bear to see it, and wanted to send troops to get rid of these wounded soldiers. At this time, a staff officer beside him persuaded him: "Commander, if you can't bear it, you can make a big plan. Now we can't take care of these things." Wounded soldiers, it would be good if the main force can stand out, but taking them is a burden. Maybe they will take us all in, so that the green hills will not be afraid of running out of firewood, so let's go.

Liu Kan was ruthless and ordered the troops to pass quickly, regardless of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield.The enemy's actions were seen by Wang Zhen, the commander of the second column on the southeast mountain of our army.After the commanding heights on the battlefield were controlled by our army, it became the support position for the second column to launch an attack. After the main force of the column arrived, Commander Wang Zhen's headquarters was set up on the mountain.

The actions of the enemy at the foot of the mountain made the commander very puzzled. When Commander Wang was making calculations in his mind, the telegram from the wild division arrived. After reading the telegram, Commander Wang happily said to a commander beside him:

"I said why the enemy is so chaotic at this moment. It turned out that Liu Kan was about to run away, and his two divisions followed him and retreated. The four divisions that Hu Zongnan temporarily transferred to him were used to cover the retreat alternately. You said that the Kuomintang Can these teachers have no opinion? .

"Commander, let's take advantage of his current chaos and add fire to him. Isn't he going to cover and retreat alternately? Let's do one. Pretend, pretending to eat his covering troops, let his Covering troops panicked

Commander Wang patted the shoulder of the commander next to him: "Good idea, let's do it like this, I see who among them dares to cover, order the troops to attack from both sides of the enemy's covering troops, what should I do if I surround him to see him? .

After giving the order, Commander Wang picked up his binoculars and continued to observe. It should be said that Commander Wang's binoculars have a lot of history.

Years and months, in order to consolidate the occupied area, the Japanese North China Front Army mobilized tens of thousands of troops to besiege the Eighth Route Army's Jinchayi Anti-Japanese Base Area. and disrupt its transportation lines.

One day in October, Commander Wang Zhen learned that the enemy was going to hold a victory celebration, and decided to lead his troops to ambush the enemy. The person who was preparing to participate in the victory celebration was Major General Kanji Changoka, head of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army. After the army's ambush circle, the soldiers of the strong brigade launched a sudden attack. They fought fiercely for an hour and killed more than 500 enemies. After the war, according to the confession of the prisoners, the captured telescope was the carry-on item of the Japanese brigade commander Kanji Changoka.

After the war, someone congratulated the general, but the general said disapprovingly, if this little devil hadn't pretended to be dead and ran away, he would have been caught alive.

Since then, this telescope has been with General Wang Zhen through the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation. General Yo Nian donated this telescope to the Beijing Military Museum for permanent collection. Now this telescope is displayed in a glass showcase in the Anti-Japanese War Museum of the Military Museum. If you are interested, you can take the time to check it out.

Our army's position on the southeast mountain has a high advantage in attacking the enemy. The attacking troops launched several large-scale attacks from both sides of the enemy's blocking position. Commander Wang Zhen ordered the troops not to carry out a real attack on the enemy, but just to make an attack. look.
