In February 1930, Li Desheng joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army before he was 14 years old. At that time, there was a shortage of weapons in the Ranks of the Red Army, and even if they were available, they were generally given priority to veterans. Li Desheng once had the courage to ask the commander for a gun, but the commander told him: "The gun is taken by the enemy." ”
At that time, in order to defend the fruits of victory, the Red Army fought frequently. Li Desheng fought bravely and made many meritorious achievements, and soon received a gun and 10 rounds of ammunition. However, because he was still young at the time, the gun assigned to him did not have a stock.
Soon, the organization transferred him to the traffic platoon of the 32nd Regiment of the 11th Division of the Red Fourth Army as a messenger. The main tasks of the messengers are threefold: one is to communicate; the second is to guard; and the third is to participate in combat. After Li Desheng took office, he quickly grasped the essentials of the work and successfully completed the task many times; the platoon leader also quickly changed him to a small horse gun, but this small horse gun also had damage - there was no crosshair on the gun. Due to Li Desheng's rich combat experience, he quickly found out the aiming method of the starless pony gun.
One day, Xu, then commander of the Red Fourth Army, inspected the troops and personally inspected the storage of the soldiers' guns and ammunition. At a glance, I saw that there was something "wrong" with the gun, so I asked, "Whose is this?" ”
Li Desheng replied, "Report to the commander, it is mine." ”
Xu Xiangqian then asked him curiously, "How can I aim without a crosshair?" ”
Li Desheng said: "Let the gap of the ruler be aimed at the center of the barrel to form a three-point line, and pay attention to the height and height." ”
After Li Desheng's report was completed, Xu Xiangqian took the gun and tried it, seeing that although Li Desheng was not very old, he could say the precautions for shooting so skillfully, Xu Xiangqian nodded with satisfaction.
Soon, Li Desheng accompanied the main force of the Red Fourth Front to Sichuan and Shaanxi and threw himself into the struggle to create a revolutionary base area in Sichuan and Shaanxi. Li Desheng, who was good at learning, went back and forth between the front line and the command post again and again, not only successfully completed the task, but also continued to learn in battle, and his military quality was increasing day by day.
In November 1932, the Red Fourth Front continued to advance in two echelons. At that time, Li Desheng's regiment was between the two echelons of the Red Army, and when approaching the town, the regimental commander Sun Yuqing sent Li Desheng and a traffic team member to the town to find a guide.
Li Desheng and Wang Sanchun walked from the southeast of the town to the town entrance and saw two walking fellow villagers looking panicked. Li Desheng immediately became alert, advanced concealedly, and at the corner of the street, he found that some of the Kuomintang troops had entered the town from another direction, and there were still troops approaching the town one after another. Li Desheng immediately said to Wang Sanchun: "You run ahead, tell the front troops, I will run backwards, report to the regimental commander, and find a way to eliminate the enemy in the town." Li Desheng rushed back to the regimental headquarters to report. The regimental commander immediately made a decision, commanded the troops and the traffic platoon to seize the favorable terrain and launch a surprise attack on the enemy in the town. The Red Army, which had passed through the town, also folded back and attacked the enemy. During the fierce battle, after the Red Army learned the number and deployment of the enemy troops from the captives, it continued to fight while reporting the situation to Xu Xiangqian and others. Soon, Xu Xiangqian led the second echelon to arrive, organized troops to launch a rapid attack on the enemy gathered in the town of Wandering, fought fiercely all night, and finally defeated the enemy. After the battle, regimental commander Sun Yuqing reported to Xu Xiangqian the deeds of Li Desheng and Wang Sanchun who reported in time when they discovered the enemy's situation, and Xu Xiangqian could not stop nodding his head, especially praising Li Desheng and li Desheng.
