Being able to endure hardships on the battlefield is the most important quality, and there are many warriors who are greedy for glory and choose betrayal because they do not have the spirit of hard-working and stand hard work, but in the end they still take responsibility for their actions and are spurned by everyone. The hero I want to tell you today is because he is willing to endure hardships and is not afraid of tiredness that he broke out of the hall of fame and became the commander of two columns, he is Wei Jie.
Wei Jie joined the army because his brother, Wei Jie, was poor and lived with his brother since he was a child, and his brother participated in the revolution, so Wei Jie also lived with his brother in the army. The battlefield is changing rapidly, no one can pat their chests and say that they will never sacrifice, Wei Jie's brother did not escape the enemy's claws when fighting, after the failure of the Revolution, Wei Jie's brother was unfortunately killed, leaving Wei Jie alone to escape.
In order to save his life, Wei Jie hid in a small cave, because there were often enemy patrols nearby, so Wei Jie stayed for half a year before escaping from the cave. After escaping, Wei Jie took the initiative to join the Red Army, because of his cleverness, he was soon promoted to platoon leader by his superiors. Although Wei Jie was very young, his ideological consciousness was absolutely not inferior to others, under his hard struggle, he was soon promoted to company commander, and when the Red Army's Long March reached northern Shaanxi, Wei Jie became the commander of the cavalry regiment again, and later became the commander of the division, when Wei Jie was only twenty-two years old.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wei Jie was still struggling on the front line, he once served as a regimental commander in the 344th Brigade, and later went to the 129th Division, until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wei Jie insisted on fighting and never had the idea of giving up. Under Liu Deng, Wei Jie was a fairly outstanding general.
When the Sixth Column was formed, Wei Jie became the deputy commander of the Sixth Column, and later led the Sixth Column to attack Tang Yin and successfully captured Sun Dianying. Sun Dianying was a tomb robber, notorious in Tangyin, and had also defected to the Japanese army, and was a spurned traitor. Wei Jie defeated Sun Dianying, making the locals spit out.
In 1948, the Fourteenth Column was formed, and this time Vijay was appointed commander, and he held several important positions at a young age, which would have been difficult to take on if not extremely good. Because the Sixteenth Column was relatively young, it was later assigned to the North China Military Region. Naturally, Wei Jie also became a general of the North China Military Region. Soon after this incident, Wei Jie was appointed commander of the thirteenth column, so throughout his military career, he served as the commander of the fourteenth column and then the thirteenth column. At the end of the Liberation War, the Thirteenth Column was later renamed the Sixty-first Army, and Wei Jie served as its commander.
Wei Jie, who was not yet thirty-five years old, had already made so many achievements, and each of them was difficult for ordinary people to reach, and the soldiers in the army sincerely admired him and took Wei Jie as their example of struggle. Shortly after the founding of New China, Wei Jie served as the commander of the 60th Army of the Volunteer Army and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
On the Korean battlefield, several of his divisions were old troops, so it was easy to fight, but there was a 180 division that Wei Jie was not familiar with, and it was precisely because he was not familiar with this unit that the 180 was surrounded. The 180th Division suffered heavy losses in the Korean battlefield, and even the political commissar Wu Chengde was captured, and Wu Chengde was also the highest-ranking general captured by the volunteer army on the Korean battlefield. This incident also taught Wei Jie a lesson, and after returning to China, Wei Jie served as the deputy commander of the Chengdu Military Region, but he could never forget the pain of the 180th Division.
