Although modern China has suffered many disasters and difficulties, with the joint efforts of our benevolent people, China has moved toward independence and self-improvement. During the period of China's new democratic revolution, many heroic figures appeared, and this person can be called one of them. When he was 18 years old, he led a division to cover the breakthrough of two corps, thinking that he had died, and returned three years later.
Today's protagonist is Duan Suquan, who joined the army at the age of fifteen. At the age of fifteen, Duan Suquan was already the secretary of the Hunan County Party Committee, and when he was a teenager, he served as the director of the Propaganda Department of the Political Department of the Xianggan Military Region. Duan Suquan was a young and promising man, and was already a political commissar of the division at the age of 18. At that time, Duan Suquan was also one of the few young cadres in the Red Army.
In October 1934, 20 regular regiments of the enemy surrounded the Red 2nd and 6th Red Armies. At that time, the situation was extremely urgent, in order to allow the main force to be successfully transferred. He Long, Ren Bishi and others decided to form a new Qiandong independence. At this time, Duan Suquan, who was only 18 years old, was appointed as the secretary of the Qiandong Special Committee and the political commissar of the division. Looking at it today, Duan Suquan was still a child at that time. But the huge task put before him, he could only undertake.
The organization gave the Qiandong Independent Division only one task, that is, to cover the breakthrough of the main force of the legion. At that time, although there were three regiments in the whole division, there were only more than 800 people. The equipment configuration of this independent division was even worse, with only more than 300 guns, and each shot had only three or five bullets. The division consisted mainly of wounded men. Duan Suquan undertook such a heavy responsibility, although Duan Suquan was talented, this was also a severe test.
After more than ten days of bitter fighting, Duan Suquan consumed part of the enemy's troops and maneuvered with the enemy. But at the same time, Duan Suquan was also blockaded on all sides, losing ammunition and supplies. In desperation, Duan Suquan could only lead the main force to move to Fanjing Mountain and engage in guerrilla warfare with the enemy. The enemy surrounded and suppressed the Red Army all the way, pursuing them relentlessly, and the independent division also suffered huge casualties.
Duan Suquan led the independent division and fought and retreated, but the enemy pursued it relentlessly and showed a posture of not giving up without destroying the independent division. After the withdrawal of the main forces, the Independent Division was heavily encircled. Duan Suquan decided to take advantage of the fact that the enemy was not yet ready to encircle, withdraw from the battle, and look for the main force in western Hunan Province.
On the way to find the main force, Duan Suquan was seriously injured and unable to walk. At that time, Duan Suquan and his comrades-in-arms could only hide in the mountains. Duan Suquan's wounds had gradually suppurated, and his comrades-in-arms went out to collect medicine for him to cook. Under the careful care of his comrades-in-arms, Duan Suquan gradually recovered. After that, duan Suquan, who had recovered, completely lost contact with the organization and could only return to his hometown. He begged all the way to live, and after several turns, he returned to Liling, Hunan In the autumn of 1935, he entrusted someone to carry a letter to his father, and was taken back to his hometown in Chaling by his father.
In 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and Duan Suquan decided to return to the army. Duan Suquan walked to Taiyuan and found the Office of the Eighth Route Army. Duan Suquan was still relatively lucky, and here he met his old leader Ren Bishi. After some greetings, Duan Suquan returned to the team. From what Ren Lao said, they had already held a memorial service for Duan Suquan. It can be said that Duan Suquan can be called a legend, "sacrificed" for three years, and can still return to the team.
Duan Suquan became famous at a young age, and at the age of eighteen, he undertook a great task. Duan Suquan completed the task in the face of all inconveniences. Judging from Duan Suquan's ability and perseverance, Duan Suquan can be called a hero and a Chinese erlang full of enthusiasm.
