Kutuzov was a famous Russian military general in the 18th century, and his invention of the "scorched earth tactic" inflicted heavy damage on the French army. In China, there was once a man called "Little Kutuzov". He has excellent tactical thinking, superb command and combat ability, and has fought countless amazing victories. This man is Hu Qicai.
In 1986, on his way home, General Chi Haotian talked to an old fisherman by the Yishui River, heard that Chi Haotian had participated in the Shandong War of Resistance, and asked him with a smile if he had heard of Commander Hu. Chi Haotian looked down and pondered, "Do you dare to ask if it is General Hu Qicai?" The old man laughed and sang a folk song: "Hu Qicai, really brave, commanded the eight roads to fight Yeyuan, killed the devil thirty-three, and captured an interpreter alive." ”
At that time, the founding lieutenant general Hu Qicai used a clever plan to eliminate the Japanese army in Linqu, leaving a good name in the local area, and still singing his glorious deeds to this day.
In order to repay the favor of the division into the Red Army
Hu Qicai was born in 1914 in present-day Hong'an County, Hubei Province, the most famous general county in the country, and this land has bred up to 223 generals. Perhaps because it was full of revolutionary atmosphere, Hu Qicai had a good feeling for the Communist Party at a young age.
When he reached the age of study, he went to a private school while helping his family cultivate, and the enlightenment teacher who taught him was Zhang Chufeng, a communist party member. This teacher also had a profound impact on him.
At the age of 15, Hu Qicai witnessed Zhang Chufeng being captured by the enemy and taken to the river, tortured and brutally killed. This planted a revolutionary seed in his heart, and he joined the Young Pioneers to stand guard for the village.
By this time he had shown his tactical command ability, and he commanded the other boys in the village to erect a long pole at the guard post. On weekdays, the pole is left to stand, and as soon as there is a trace of the enemy, the pole will be immediately lowered to warn the villagers to flee and evacuate. This method is quite similar to wolf smoke.
Hu Qicai's family consisted of seven people. His mother died of illness, and he and his father were irreplaceable laborers in the family, and the family lived on the meager income in the tofu factory. But Hu Qicai resolutely decided to join the Red Army, and he decided to avenge his mentor and make an effort to change his destiny.
The opportunity soon arose, and when the Red Army came to their village to select talents, Hu Qicai did not think about it and went there. Hu Qicai, who grew up strong and brainy, quickly adapted to his days in the Red Army, in the Red Army special agent battalion in Huahe District.
He fought bravely and bravely, fighting 5 battles in just three months and capturing a rifle. The path of a generation of legendary commanders was also paved here.
Design is talented
Coincidentally, Hu Qicai's real name was "Hu Qicai", and it was the Red Army soldier who remembered the name that was misremembered. But the yin and yang is that the word "wizard" is more appropriate for him personally. Thanks to the good ideological education and his excellent command skills instilled in Hu Qicai by Zhang Chufeng, the 19-year-old Hu Qicai was already the political commissar of the regiment.
But because he was not afraid of life and death and dared to fight and dare to rush, Hu Qi was injured 5 times in just three years, and all the comrades in the army did not give a thumbs up to this brave young man. After walking through the Long March and crossing the grasslands, in the seven years of the War of Resistance in Luzhong, countless battles of all sizes were fought, and Hu Qicai made many meritorious achievements.
One of the most impressive is to conquer Yeyuan. In the TV series "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong once adopted the tactic of encircling points to fight for reinforcements when attacking the county seat of Ping'an, which changed the war in Pingyan in North China. In the real battlefield, Hu Qicai's Yeyuan took a siege point to fight for help.
Hu Qicai commanded the Eighth Route Army to surround Yeyuan and allowed the enemy to call for reinforcements. This affected the Japanese garrison in Linqu, and then the Eighth Route Army ambushed by the river, waiting for the puppet army and the Japanese army to cross the river when they suddenly attacked. The Japanese troops who were ambushed did not choose a path, and there were chasing soldiers in front of them, and they could only flee like headless flies towards the gap given by the Eighth Route Army.
Unexpectedly, when they fled to a reed garden, they were hit by another wave of ambush. Machine gunfire was like mercury, and 33 Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot, while a Japanese interpreter was also captured. The puppet army on the other side saw that the Japanese army was dead and wounded, so it had no intention of fighting and was eliminated in pursuit.
This battle can be called the textbook of the tactic of "encircling points and fighting for reinforcements". Hu Qicai's tactics are clear and clear, and he makes a prediction of the possible trajectory of the Japanese army. Although it was a small-scale battle, it was clever in tactics and made a great contribution to the liberation of Linqu City. Hu Qicai lived up to the name of the conductor ghost talent, and also made the local people spontaneously sing folk songs to commemorate Commander Hu.
Regrouped from a heavy setback
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Hu Qicai came to the northeast battlefield, and he led the People's Liberation Army into the Battle of Shaling. At that time, shortly after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the People's Liberation Army had not yet changed from the style of playing mobile warfare, and it repeatedly suffered repeated setbacks in the frontal battle with the New 6th Army of the Kuomintang US Armament Unit. In the end, Hu Qicai's troops suffered heavy casualties and failed to capture shaling village.
The defeat made Hu Qicai think bitterly and understand the need to cultivate the frontal combat ability of the troops in a down-to-earth manner. Soon he regrouped.
In the xinkailing area, Hu Qicai fought a beautiful battle. The enemy army was chiang kai-shek's eight divisions, including the 25th division of the ace army, of which the 25th division was known as the "Tiger Division", which was well-equipped and powerful.
Hu Qicai believed that this battle could not be fought hard, so he used the light enemy of the 25th Division to pretend to be defeated and lured the enemy to go deeper, and finally divided the eight divisions of the enemy army into different positions on the battlefield, and concentrated the superior forces to destroy the 25th Division head-on. In the ensuing Tashan defensive battle, he was even more exquisite in his dispatch to resist the enemy's support pace, creating conditions for attacking Jinzhou.
The defeat of the 25th Division was a classic battle in which less was won, and the Battle of Tower Hill held the enemy's land, sea and air forces to death. Hu Qicai's military command ability is unmistakable.
brief summary:
Hu Qicai in life is humorous and funny. He loves to play tennis, love the four treasures of the literary room, and love to fish. But he also had things he couldn't let go of, and from time to time, he would return to Tower Hill. Tashan is a rare defensive battlefield of our army, the war was fierce and cruel, Tashan was almost flattened by artillery shells, and countless liberation fighters were buried in that land.
On the battlefield, Hu Qicai watched the remains of the warriors being carried away one by one. He couldn't put that place in his heart, he thought his soul was here, and he must be buried here after death.
In 1997, Lieutenant General Hu Qicai died. According to his wishes, the remains were buried in Tower Hill. I believe that his soul and the souls of countless revolutionary martyrs buried here will be at peace.
