He was agile, he had saved Mr. Peng twice, and he used suspicious tactics to scare off the enemy army during the Long March, so who was he? And later?
His name is Li Shouxuan, born in 1906 in Longjian Village, Liuze Town, Shaodong, Hunan, the hometown of martial arts.
Li Shouxuan's hometown belonged to Taiping Yidu (later known as Taiyi Township) in Shaoyang County, Baoqing Province in the Qing Dynasty, and since ancient times, there has been a style of advocating martial arts and courage, and each township has a tradition of "learning to fight" and has been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, Li Shouxuan has been hearing about it since he was a child, and he has practiced the art of self-defense with a quick hand.
Li Shouxuan's family was poor, and his father once borrowed a few buckets of grain from a local landlord surnamed Liu to survive the famine. What is hateful is that the landlord surnamed Liu lent out with a small bucket, and the big bucket was collected, and the interest was heavy, so that the Li family could not afford to pay it back. Later, this landlord surnamed Liu brought people to the door to take away the Li family's cultivating cattle to pay off the debt, and at this time, the young and vigorous Li Shouxuan was angry when he saw this situation, so he grabbed a flat shoulder and fought with one enemy, beating a group of debt claimants to the east and west. Later, the landlord surnamed Liu also colluded with the government to oppress the Li family, and Li Shouxuan was even more intolerant, and he burned the Liu family's house and went away to find a way out.
Li Shouxuan, who had left his hometown, had no choice but to flee to a southern goods shop in Yangluo Prefecture (Town) in Yuanjiang County as an apprentice, but this shopkeeper was not a good stubble, and he was bullied in every way. In desperation, 20-year-old Li Shouxuan could only choose to join the army and join rong.
Although Li Shouxuan joined the Tang Shengzhi Department of the National Revolutionary Army, his regimental commander was marshal Peng Da, who was later famously known as Peng Lao, and the company commander was Li Can, the later commander of the Red 8 Army. Therefore, it can be said that Li Shouxuan met a good leader and embarked on a bright road, although it was full of thorns.
In this way, Under the leadership of regimental commander Peng Laozong and company commander Li Can, Li Shouxuan participated in the Pingjiang Uprising and became a soldier of the Red Army.
Because of Li Shouxuan's agility and kung fu, and his bravery in battle, he grew rapidly in the ranks of the Red Army, and soon became the squadron leader and captain of the 12th Brigade of the 5th Column of the Red 5th Army, and later the Red 5th Army formed the Political Security Brigade and was appointed as the leader of the Political Security Brigade.
After this, Li Shouxuan also saved The life of Mr. Peng twice.
The first time was after the Pingjiang Uprising, when Lei Zhenhui, then the commander of the 1st Regiment of the Red 5th Army, clashed with Mr. Peng's ideology due to his low mood for the future of the revolution. Later, when he took advantage of Mr. Peng's speech, the waiter drew a pistol and wanted to shoot a black gun at Mr. Peng. At this critical moment, Lei's actions were discovered by Li Shouxuan, and Li immediately flew up and kicked him in the wrist, shot him, and saved Mr. Peng's life.
The second time was in the Defense of the Yellow Ocean Boundary. Mr. Peng personally led the special agent brigade to fight fiercely with the enemy. At night, the enemy used the current ocean to buy two anti-water peasants to lead the way, and secretly rushed to the side of Peng Laozong's headquarters. At this time, it just so happened that Li Shouxuan brought people over to reinforcements, and immediately led everyone to rush up to fight, repelling the enemy army and saving the life of Mr. Peng.
Although Li Shouxuan did not read much, he liked to listen to historical stories and was good at drawing on ancient martial arts, and during the Long March, he used the "suspicious soldiers" to retreat from two divisions of the enemy army.
It was at the end of November 1934, when Li Shouxuan, then commander of the 16th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Red Third Army, was ordered to block the enemy at Guanyang City and cover the crossing of the Xiang River by the "Red Star" column (the central organ).
Responsible for pursuing the Red Army was the Gui Army. As for the Gui Army, Li Shouxuan had exchanged hands and knew that they would not easily consume themselves against the Red Army, because the Gui Army and the old Chiang Kai-shek still had their own small calculations. Therefore, when the soldiers of the Red Army were building fortifications and preparing to strike them, they sent only one reconnaissance company to our position. At this time, the Gui army also seemed to find that there was a Red Army ambush in front of it, and they were lying motionless on the ground.
Li Shouxuan thought that it was not the way to keep stalemated like this, so he remembered that there was a passage in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" drama that Zhang Fei had to block Cao Bing's "suspicious soldiers" in Changshanpo, so he immediately ordered the troops to move in the fortifications, so that the soldiers could pull the bolts of their guns to a loud noise, and the troops on the hill behind the position also shouted trumpets to carry wood, and the momentum was bossy. This move made the enemy reconnaissance company think that it had encountered a large red army, so it quietly retreated. The enemy's large troops behind did not dare to rush forward, and after studying for half a day, the enemy finally sounded the horn of retreat.
In this way, the Red Army retreated the enemy troops of two divisions without firing a shot, ensuring that the Red Star Column crossed the Xiang River smoothly.
So, what happened to Li Shouxuan later?
Li Shouxuan was later transferred to the Commander of the Guard Battalion of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission to defend the Party Central Committee to northern Shaanxi. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in full swing, he successively served as deputy commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Army, chief of the third section of the Headquarters Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, deputy commander of the Third Column of the Shanxi New Army, and deputy commander of the Third Military Subdistrict of the Taihang Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. Later, he marched into the northeast battlefield and successively served as deputy commander and chief of staff of the Songjiang Military Region, and deputy commander and chief of staff of the Railway Column of the Fourth Field Army.
In 1955, Li Shouxuan was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and later became the commander of the railway corps, contributing to the construction of the railway in New China. On September 22, 1984, General Li Shouxuan died at the age of 78.
