In April 1933, the political commissar of the Red 25th Division was transferred to the military department, because there was no suitable candidate for the time being, the political commissar was temporarily replaced by Xu Shiyou, who led the troops to fight may be brave and fearless, but he did not know anything about civilian work, and after a period of time, he strongly requested the appointment of a new political commissar to his superiors.
Soon, the new political commissar came, but Xu Shiyou was stunned the moment he saw him, and even thought that he was wrong, wasn't this person Chen Haisong, the attendant soldier next to him 4 years ago? How did he become a divisional political commissar? Who is this Chen Haisong?
Chen Haisong, born in 1914 in a rural family in Li Chenwa Village, Xuanhuadian, Luoshan, Henan, the family conditions are very poor, the family lives on an acre of land, and most of this acre of land is sloped, the soil is not fertile, the output of grain is very small, only to maintain the family's food and clothing.
Chen Haisong died when he was two years old, in order to make him have maternal love, his aunt adopted him and took care of him in every way, although the family was not good, but Chen Haisong was also pampered and raised from childhood.
In 1927, the Dabie Mountain area began to promote the revolution, the Creation of the Red Guards and Peasants' Association, the landlords and bullies were driven away, the peasants' lives began to improve, Chen Haisong, who witnessed the transformation of his hometown, admired the revolutionary team very much, often asked questions about the East and the West, and when he grew up, he joined the children's group and began to contact the revolution more deeply.
In 1930, at the age of 16, Chen Haisong became the leader of the Children's Regiment, and had more contact with the Red Army, and he began to be dissatisfied with being a small children's regiment leader in the local area, he wanted to join the Red Army and go to the front to fight to defend his family and defend the country.
However, his idea of joining the army was strongly opposed by his father, and he even told him a family affair, just to prevent him from going out on adventures, Chen Haisong in order to let his father relax his vigilance, verbally promised to cultivate the land, but in his heart he quietly planned to leave.
Finally, the opportunity to leave came, a Red Army unit was pulled out to fight on the front line, Chen Haisong took advantage of the opportunity to work alone during the day to go out to sign up, directly followed the troops out of his hometown, and by the time his father sensed that something was wrong and came out to look for him, he had already gone far, and Chen Haisong never came back.
At first, due to his young age, Chen Haisong served as a service soldier at Xu Shiyou's side, and Xu Shiyou liked his clever and intelligent personality, and often taught him military strategy and trained him in his spare time.
Chen Haisong was also very clever, and soon integrated the knowledge that Xu Shiyou had taught him, and with this knowledge, he quickly went to the front line and became a squad leader and a combat platoon leader.
However, due to serious injuries in a battle, Chen Haisong's health was not as good as before, and he was transferred to a civilian post as the head of the propaganda team of the Political Department.
During the red army's revolt, Chen Haisong was almost killed by Zhang Guotao, although he escaped the disaster because of the efforts of the superior leaders, but his previous efforts were all nullified, and he could only be an ordinary soldier in the Red Fourth Front.
Although he suffered unfair treatment, Chen Haisong, who was extremely resilient, never wanted to give up, he still fought hard and fought hard, and soon made a miraculous contribution in the battle of the three-way siege, which allowed him to restore his original party membership and also get the position of political commissar of the 36 regiment.
In 1933, Chen Haisong was promoted to political commissar of the Red 25th Division with outstanding military ability and revolutionary consciousness, and became the boss of his old boss Xu Shiyou, which happened at the beginning that Xu Shiyou did not dare to believe.
Don't look at Chen Haisong is not old, but he has a lot of ideas in commanding operations, he never hides in the rear command, but personally commands at the front line, even if the seriously injured and bleeding are not stopped, he refuses to leave the battlefield, this bloodiness makes Xu Shiyou, who has always been frivolous, extremely recognized him, the two fought side by side, bravely and fiercely, and trained the Red 25th Division into an invincible meritorious team.
In addition to commanding operations, Chen Haisong is also very accomplished in army management, and in his leisure time he often chats with the soldiers, never condescending as a leader, but communicates with them as an equal comrade-in-arms, and from time to time he will play with them and care about the physical and mental health of each soldier.
His approachability has firmly brought the entire unit together, and each soldier has respected and loved each other, which has significantly improved the combat effectiveness of the unit.
In the management of the troops, Chen Haisong has always been lenient with others, but he has always been strict with himself, even if he is in a high position, he will never give up studying, and every day in his leisure time, he will read books to improve his knowledge.
Moreover, he will also consult some old comrades with military books, and he will never despise others because of the difference in status, and he will not be ashamed to ask questions to become a talent.
However, such a talented and virtuous general could not see the day of the founding of New China.
In 1936, the Red Army troops sent 20,000 people to form the Western Route Army, crossing the Yellow River to prepare for the Western Expedition to expand the territory, Chen Haisong was in the Western Route Army at that time, because the Ningxia Campaign was not fought, he followed the orders to follow the troops along the Hexi Corridor to Xinjiang.
However, the Hexi Corridor was full of dangers, and the well-equipped and well-known Ma Jiajun gave them a head start, and the 20,000-strong team was surrounded and killed, and finally only 3,000 people broke out.
Chen Haisong commanded the Red Ninth Army to cover their breakthrough, and after the battle, the Red Ninth Army was exhausted and exhausted, and in desperation, Chen Haisong decided to camp and rest in the area of Liyuan Fort, and then quickly leave after the troops rested for a while.
However, before the team could rest for long, the enemy caught up with them, and because the time was too tight, Chen Haisong only had time to let the cadres of the organs evacuate first, and he himself took the guard platoon to fight the enemy in blood.
Even if Chen Haisong had the ability of genius, he could not make the enemy army disappear in an instant, so the only way he could think of was to persist and give the cadres of the organs sufficient time to evacuate to a safe position.
At the critical moment of the battle, Chen Haisong planned to go to the high ground to observe the battle situation and facilitate the formulation of the next step of tactics, but the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and he had just climbed up the slope of the earth, and he was shot several times by the enemy's machine gun and killed on the spot.
Almost all of the troops who remained in place to block the enemy were killed, and only one wounded soldier barely escaped and went back to describe the fierceness of the battle to the superior leaders.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhu De would often mention Chen Haisong when he held meetings, praising him as the youngest and most promising military genius of the Red Fourth Army, and if he had not been killed, he would certainly have played a greater role at this time.
Chen Haisong's sacrifice is a loss to the party and the state, and it is also a pain that the people can never forget.
