Nearly a hundred years ago, wars of all sizes made the people's homeland devastated, backward development and decaying system, making the people's lives miserable. In order to overthrow this decadent system and for the sake of a better future for the country, more and more people have joined the revolutionary ranks, including the working class, the common people, young and old, and even children of teenage size. And for these children who joined the army as teenagers, there is also a kind name, that is, the little red devil. On the battlefield, the enemy will not be merciful because of the age and status of the subordinates, only the weak and the strong and you die. Therefore, in that era, many soldiers who were young and had a bright future unfortunately died on the battlefield, including chen Haisong, the revolutionary hero we want to talk about.
Speaking of Lin Zong, we must be all familiar with it, and we all know that Lin Zong has become the leader of the First Army at the age of 23, which is also the seniority and strength of his ability to become a founding marshal. Perhaps we once thought that Lin Zong was the youngest military general, but in fact, the youngest general to become a military general was 20-year-old Chen Haisong, who was then the political commissar of the Red Ninth Army. But it is regrettable that the hero died early, only 23 years old in a battle heroically sacrificed, today let us get to know the youngest military general Chen Haisong!
Although Chen Haisong attended private school for several years when he was a child, he always couldn't sit still in the classroom, often leading the children around him to jump up and down, extremely lively. Later, the arrival of the Red Army changed the situation in which the whole village was oppressed and exploited, and also changed the fate of Chen Haisong's life. The Red Army helped the people overthrow the landlords and gentry, and also divided the land among the people, and such a heroic act also left a deep mark on Chen Haisong's heart. He not only took the initiative to serve as the leader of the Boy Scout Regiment to help the Red Army better carry out the revolutionary cause, but when he grew up, he ran to join the army despite the obstruction of his family.
As the saying goes, Chen Haisong is born to lead soldiers to fight. After joining the army at the age of 16, Chen Haisong first worked as an ordinary service soldier under Xu Shiyou, and later he was promoted step by step with his natural agility and excellent work ability, and became the political commissar of the regiment in only three years. However, after becoming the political commissar of the regiment, he encountered some setbacks, at that time, with the launch of the purge movement, Chen Haisong was accused of almost losing his life, and saved his life with the efforts of the regimental commander, but was demoted to a service soldier.
But then in the anti-three-way battle, Chen Haisong led the troops and played a record of winning more with less, so that the organization resumed his position. Chen Haisong on the battlefield is like a divine soldier descending from heaven, always able to find a way to crack in one dangerous situation after another, and at a young age, he has become the main backbone of the team. After leading the troops to win one good result after another, he was promoted again, from the political commissar of the first regiment to the political commissar of the first division, at this time he also met his former superior Xu Shiyou.
Xu Shiyou, who was the commander of the division at the time, was also very surprised by Chen Haisong's progress, but after working with him for a while, it became clear that Chen Haisong was a pioneer on the battlefield, completely disregarding life and death, leading the troops forward, even if he was seriously injured, he did not stop until the end of the battle. Once, after the battle, Chen Haisong's legs were already red and swollen, and there was still some shrapnel left in them, and everyone was very shocked by how he persevered, and his admiration for him was even deeper. With this momentum and impressive achievements, Chen Haisong, who was only 20 years old, became the political commissar of the First Army and the youngest military general, and At this time, Xu Shiyou was just promoted to deputy commander, which was regarded as Chen Haisong's subordinate.
The knife and gun were blind, the battlefield was merciless, and when the Red Ninth Army and other legions were reorganized into the Western Route Army, they were fiercely encircled and suppressed by the enemy. In order to protect the safe withdrawal of large troops, Chen Haisong led a small team to face the enemy several times his own, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and Chen Haisong finally failed to come down from the battlefield, this year he was only 23 years old.
People often sigh that if Chen Haisong had not sacrificed, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he would not have been a marshal but also a general. At the age of 23, he was originally in his youth, but he left us early for the great cause of the revolution. Although General Chen Haisong has left us forever, his deeds will always be remembered by history and remembered by us!
