In 1934, the Red Fourth Front entered Sichuan and established a base there. The Sichuan warlords were certainly not of the good, and they laid siege to the Red Fourth Front. In the Battle of Beishanchang, north of Daxian County, our army's position was bombarded by artillery fire from the Sichuan warlords, and most of the fortifications of a regiment were destroyed, and the situation was in danger.
Xu Shiyou, deputy commander of the Red Ninth Army, sent a battalion to reinforcements, but still could not turn the tide of the war. What to do? Saving soldiers is like putting out a fire. Xu Shiyou was in a hurry. The last family must be taken out, and Wang Hongkun, the commander of the Red Fourth Army at the time, sent a traffic team of more than 100 people.
Traffic teams, that's not front-line combat troops. But there was no way. Under the leadership of Zhang Xianyue, these more than 100 people rushed to the position for reinforcements. Zhang Xianyue even threw off the shell gun and rushed to the front of the line with a submachine gun. Bullets shot out of the barrel of the gun suddenly, and the barrel hit the hand.
Zhang Xianyue's reinforcements and those who held their positions merged inside and outside, eventually crushing two enemy regiments and taking hundreds of prisoners. When the good news came, Xu Shiyou was very happy and specially rushed over to drink celebratory wine with Wang Hongkun.
If Zhang Xianyou's traffic team had not rushed in time to reinforce, the position would have been closed, and Xu Shiyou's battalion was estimated to have been reimbursed. Zhang Xianyue was immediately promoted to captain of the Red Fourth Army's traffic team. In fact, Zhang Xianyue was already a battalion instructor before, because of a misunderstanding, he bumped into his superiors, and was sent to the traffic team.
After this battle, Zhang Xianyu was rapidly promoted, and later became the commander and division commander of the Red Fourth Army. We know that soon Xu Shiyou also came to the Red Fourth Army as a commander. Therefore, Zhang Xian was about to be Xu Shiyou's subordinate.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xu Shiyou served as deputy brigade commander in the 386th Brigade, and Zhang Xianyou was the commander of the teaching regiment of the 129th Division. They don't have much intersection. Then, Xu Shiyou went to the battlefield of Shandong, and Zhang Xianyue returned to northern Shaanxi to defend the rear.
Unexpectedly, decades later, Xu Shiyou helped Zhang Xian about a big favor. It was in 1978, Zhang Xianyue was the deputy director of the General Logistics Department, what about Xu Shiyou? He is the commander of the Guangzhou Military Region. In terms of positions, they can be described as equally divided. However, Xu Shiyou is a general, while Zhang Xianyue is only a lieutenant general.
At that time, the First Military Medical University was subordinate to the General Logistics Department. For special reasons, the First Military Medical University was stationed in the closed Jinan University. Jinan University is about to resume classes, and the First Military Medical University must be moved out. Where to move? Zhang Xianyue was very worried.
Some people proposed to move to Guilin or Changsha, and Zhang Xianyue thought it was inappropriate. Zhang Xianyue, who was worried, came to Guangzhou, and the old chief Xu Shiyou warmly welcomed Zhang Xianyue and others. During the banquet, of course, we must talk about the selection of the first military medical university.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shiyou said very proudly, I have chosen a good location for you, let out the address of the military region teaching team in Qilin Gang, a suburb of Guangzhou City, and give you the First Military Medical University. No, the problem is solved. In that year, Zhang Xianyu reinforced Xu Shiyou, and 44 years later, Xu Shiyou helped Zhang Xianyu a big favor.
Zhang Xianyue was very excited, and at the critical moment, it was still the old chief's kindness. He and Xu Shiyou had three drinks in a row. Later, the First Military Medical University became a key university in China, a well-known famous school in southern China and abroad. Today, it has been renamed Southern Medical University.
All the alumni of Southern Medical University cannot forget Zhang Xianyue, and of course, they must also thank Xu Shiyou.
