Among the founding generals of our country, there are many who are good at martial arts, and the generals we are familiar with are General Xu Shiyou, General He Bingyan, and General Sun Jixian, who are very skilled in martial arts. In fact, there is a martial arts wizard in our army, and everyone may not know his name, but unfortunately, he died heroically in the Liberation War, so he did not wait for the 1955 conferment ceremony, so he was not well known to the world.
This person was Chu Daming, who was still a subordinate of Chen Shuai.
He was born in Shangcheng County, Henan Province, the sixth of the 9 brothers and sisters in the family, so he is known as Chu Laoliu, and he has been learning martial arts since childhood. Due to his family's poverty, he attended private school for only two years, became a langzhong, and joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army at the age of 16.
In July 1932, he participated in the fourth "anti-encirclement and suppression" campaign in the Eyu-Anhui Revolutionary Base Area, but by then, his family had already prepared him for marriage, and the date had been set. But he said that if he did not kill some reactionaries, the marriage would not be happy. The family had no choice but to hold a wedding with only a bride according to the previous arrangement, so that even if he officially married his daughter-in-law, when the villagers from all over the world came to congratulate him, they found that the wedding scene was only the bride alone, and the villagers knew that he was fighting with the enemy outside, and they all admired him very much, although he was not on the scene, but the wedding was still beautiful.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 20th Regiment of the New 7th Brigade of the Hebei Southern Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and even if he became a commander, he still liked to be a soldier, rush to the front, and use his superb martial arts to subdue the Japanese.
In August 1939, he led the second battalion to attack the ancient town of Fucheng County, and he sneaked into the courtyard of Tikou with two and a half. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet a Japanese soldier armed with a saber. When Riko asked him what he was doing, he sneered, "Lao Tzu is here specifically to kill you!" After speaking, as soon as the words fell out, he pulled out his bayonet and stabbed him.
There were too many Rikou people, one of them stabbed him from behind, and also hugged him, he turned his brain, and bit Rikou's hand fiercely, and the Pain Rikou screamed and screamed, and when he reached back, he exerted too much strength, and accidentally knocked out two of Chu Daming's front teeth.
He found that the equipment gap between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese was too large, and there were obviously not enough bullets. He came up with a solution, and he formed a dart team, derived from the rails used in the Nichiko Railway, and ordered the blacksmiths to make sharp shuttle darts and insert them into guns.
Every day, he led his soldiers to practice the shuttle dart technique, everything was ready, only the East Wind was owed, and the soldiers could not wait to go to the battlefield to see the results of their hard training.
At the Battle of Don-eup, the Japanese sent their elite troops, the Nagoya Squadron, to resist the fire of the second battalion, and when he saw that the Japanese were slowly approaching, he ordered the soldiers to shoot all the bullets. Some people worry that if there are no bullets, how can we fight? He said very angrily: "Use the dart!"
After the bullets ran out, he drew out the shuttle dart, stood up and shouted: All give Lao Tzu Chong, one for every three people, stab him to death, if there is no blood on anyone's dart, Lao Tzu will kill him immediately!
The warriors rushed into the ranks of the enemy with sharp darts, and in this battle, as many as 70 Japanese were stabbed to death by the second battalion alone.
The Japanese were all frightened, and asked around who this lifeless Eighth Route Military Battalion Commander was? What advanced weapons were used? The Japanese reporter lamented: "The 108th Division has never been insulted like this since its inception!" This is a disgrace to the Imperial Army! ”
Many of the soldiers of the second battalion were peasants and had no combat experience, and he told everyone: The first time you fought the Japanese Kou, there were very few people who were not nervous, but you all remembered to me that if you wanted not to be afraid of them, the first battle would have to take the knife from the hands of the Japanese Kou with your bare hands.
After he was promoted to the commander of the 20th Regiment, he took the recruits directly to the battlefield to practice his courage. Some of the new warriors were very frightened, so he took a bayonet and said you are good to see, Lao Tzu now picks a big Japanese Kou and lets you see and see.
The hunky Niko was not his opponent at all, and he easily solved him by dividing him by two. Everyone saw that killing the enemy was nothing more than that, there was nothing to be afraid of, they all had self-confidence, the morale of the warriors was high, and they were more energetic in killing the devils, and the Japanese soldiers lost their armor and armor.
He also gave the following order: Starting from me, every cadre must rush to the front of the soldiers with a bayonet, and the cadre must be the first soldier.
He also had such an anecdote that the founding marshal Liu Zhijian was captured by the Japanese army, at that time, the Japanese army did not know his identity, a little lax, Liu Zhijian was successfully rescued. And the person who rescued him was Chu Daming, which also reached the ears of the chairman, who was very happy and praised him as a good man in Ji'nan, which was very remarkable.
The 20 regiments he led galloped across southern Hebei, killing the Japanese puppet army with fear, and was also awarded the title of "Plain Tiger Regiment", he was also awarded the title of "Special Combat Hero", and Chen Shuai also praised him as a fierce general in the Taiyue War.
In the ensuing Battle of Zhongjie Village, when he led his troops to charge, he was hit in the chest by an enemy bullet, leaving his troops forever and his old commander Chen Shuai.
When the bad news reached Chen Shuai's ears, he did not believe that he really sacrificed at first, and after many inquiries, he accepted this fact, and he immediately wept bitterly, for his sacrifice, he cried not only because of the loss of a powerful love general, but also because of the loss of a good brother who was born into death!
After the battle, almost all the soldiers of his unit joined the ranks of coffin coffins, and they even wore ma dai filial piety to send him on his last journey, when almost all of them were as uncomfortable as the loss of a beloved relative.
In March 1953, the coffin of the martyr Chu Daming was buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery of the North China Military Region, which will always be admired and remembered by future generations.
To pay tribute to the revolutionary martyrs of these heroes, without such heroes fighting in blood on the battlefield, there would be no beautiful motherland today, and we, as future generations, should uphold the spirit of struggle of our revolutionary predecessors, strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, carry forward the revolutionary spirit, and always encourage us to always advance toward a better tomorrow, and at the same time love peace.
