preface
Everyone's traditional impression of the army is that there are many people and the momentum is magnificent enough. But as everyone knows, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, there was an army composed of only 36 wounded soldiers.
This team has gradually changed from being wounded at the beginning to a powerful team, and this army is the New Fourth Army Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army!
Bumps in the face
September 1939,
The Nationalist army launched an attack on the main force of the Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, which was ordered to retreat westward.
At that time, Ye Fei was the director of the army's political department. He led the second route in his army and launched a counterattack against the enemy from the north side of the mountain.
Ye Fei rushed to the front line first, but was hit by the enemy army in the middle of the road, and the blood flowed in an instant. Fei
After a short rest, he continued to charge the enemy with the warriors in a menacing manner.
However, Ye Fei fainted in the middle of the way due to too much blood loss and was sent to a small wooden boat docked on Yangcheng Lake for medical treatment, and the conditions were very simple. At that time, all the medical equipment of our army was very poor. Ye Fei was hit by a bullet shot, and the doctor was unable to successfully remove the bullet in his body.
Fortunately,
Fei
With superior willpower and vitality, he successfully survived with only simple drugs.
A total of 36 people were healed with Ye Fei, but at that time, the Jiangnan area where they were located had been occupied by the enemy. Even when the wounded were hidden in inconspicuous reeds, the enemy often came to search, and their defensive weapons were only guns.
Dilemma reborn
The wounded soldiers were all uniformly recuperated in the rear, and if they were found in the rear hospital, the consequences would be unimaginable, and Ye Fei's position among the 36 wounded was the highest. At first, Ye Fei formed a guard team. Later, after many considerations, Ye Fei decided to form a brand new team, that is
New Fourth Army Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. Referred to as Xinjiang Resistance.
When making recommendations to the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, this team was also established to counter the local Japanese and puppet armies. However, Ye Fei, who made this suggestion, was seriously injured, and the commander of this team was Xia Guang.
All 36 of Xinjiang Kang's men were wounded in the hospital, and their weapons were only two pistols in the hands of Ye Fei and the guards. Both in terms of personnel and weapons, they are a disadvantaged team. Under such a dilemma, commander Xia Guang actually took only one year to gradually develop the 36-man Xinjiang Resistance to 4 companies! Since then, many generals of the New Fourth Army have also joined, and this weak army has become stronger and stronger.
Elite Division
Later, XinjiangKang has grown to a scale of more than 5,000 people.
During this time, in Jiangnan, the Xinjiang people have been dealing with the enemy here, and have repeatedly smashed the "sweeping" of the Japanese and puppet armies.
After the Anhui Incident, this team was reorganized into the 18th Brigade of the New Fourth Army. During the Liberation War, it was reorganized into the First Column of the East China Field Army, which later became the 20th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Coincidentally, Liu Fei was the first leader of the army.
A small army of 36 wounded grew step by step in the struggle against the invaders and the defense of their homeland. They faced the Warring States Army directly and made efforts and contributions to the establishment of New China. The development of this team is amazing,
After all, it was able to grow 36 men into thousands in just a few years, gradually turning from two pistols into a formidable force with a large number of soldiers. They are admirable and admirable elite teachers.
End
In fact, the rapid expansion of the Xinjiang resistance is closely related to the help of the local people. Looking back on the past experiences of the soldiers, we deeply appreciate the perseverance and spirit of hard work of every general and soldier of our army.
It is the efforts of countless warriors that have achieved today's happy and stable life.
