He was the youngest founding general. He was able to dodge the guns and bullets on the battlefield safely, and the sword and light sword shadow never crushed him, but in the end he died in a car accident, which was really an impermanence of life. So who is this person?
He is Wu Zhong, a native of Cangxi, Sichuan. In 1933, he joined the Red Army and later joined the Communist Party of China. During the agrarian revolution, he served as secretary of the Communist Youth League of the Division's Political Department. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he led his troops to kill the enemy many times, went deep into the enemy's rear to carry out guerrilla warfare to open up anti-Japanese base areas behind the enemy lines, and made important contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Because of his active resistance to the war, he repeatedly made meritorious achievements from platoon commander all the way to regimental commander.
In 1946, his unit fought with Hu Lian's reorganized 11th Division in Zhangfengji, and he led his troops directly into the heart of the enemy, so he was deeply surrounded by the enemy. They took several of the courtyards they occupied as their positions and waged a fierce war with the enemy. Due to the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, the troops suffered heavy casualties and the situation was very grim. He held the decision to die, and even explained the matter after his death. Under his leadership, the troops held their positions. Finally, reinforcements arrived, and with reinforcements completely annihilated the enemy, and finally won the battle. Soon he was promoted to brigade commander.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, he served as a division commander and led his troops to the Korean battlefield to resist the United States and aid Korea to defend the country. Upon his return, he was appointed commander of the 40th Army. When awarded the rank in 1955, he was awarded the rank of major general. Became the youngest founding general in the army. After the outbreak of the counterattack against Vietnam, Wu Zhong, who was more than half a hundred years old, took the initiative to ask Miao to lead his troops to the front line and command the western front combat mission of the Guangxi defense line.
He led his troops to encircle the enemy of Gaoping, because the terrain there was dangerous, which was not conducive to the large-scale deployment of the troops, let alone mechanized operations. He carefully observed the terrain and repeatedly surveyed it, and finally found a path that allowed artillery and tanks to pass, and the defense was weak.
After a month of conquest, he led his troops to 6 cities and pools, annihilating nearly 10,000 enemy troops. It contributed greatly to the victory of the counterattack against Vietnam. Regrettably, his whole life spanned the battlefield, and he was able to face the bloody storms on the battlefield, but he died in an accidental car accident.
