The 101-year-old founding major general, whose head is worth three million oceans, saluted and thanked the Japanese army
In the impression of many people, the Japanese army is educated in militarism, fighting a war is not afraid of death, in fact, it is all fake, the little devils are also long flesh, bullets hit them still hurt, they will still die, the Japanese army is still afraid of death.
There was a founding major general who saluted and thanked the Japanese devils who had beaten him, which became a major anecdote at that time, and also made the so-called "samurai spirit" of Japanese devils a laughingstock.
The founding major general, named Zhang Xiulong, was a native of Xiantao, Hubei Province, and in 1930, Zhang Xiulong, who was only 16 years old at the time, joined the Red Army and joined the party that year, he fought very bravely, and soon rose from a soldier to a company commander, a battalion commander and other positions.
On the Long March Road, Zhang Xiulong was the chief of staff of the 17th Regiment of the 9th Division, he was wounded 3 times, when the troops went to Bijie in Guizhou, exchanged fire with the enemy, and the division commander and political commissar named Zhang Xiulong to take the wounded out of the horse.
Sure enough, Zhang Xiulong led the troops and quickly broke the enemy's blockade, but in the battle, Zhang Xiulong's leg was seriously injured, and everyone found him back from the pile of dead people.
In the anti-Japanese period, Zhang Xiulong turned to Shanxi, at this time he was already experienced in hundreds of battles, and the battle he fought against the devils became a laughingstock was the battlefield that occurred in Shanxi.
At the Jingle Kangjiahui in Shanxi, Zhang Xiulong took people to fight the Japanese stronghold there, Zhang Xiulong eliminated a squadron of the Japanese army, and after the battle, he captured the Japanese officer alive, and the officer actually saluted Zhang Xiulong, saying that he had survived by being captured alive.
In August 1940, Zhang Xiulong participated in the famous "Battle of the Hundred Regiments", he led his troops to blow up the railways and bridges of the Japanese army, paralyzing the enemy's communication lines, and he participated in the uprooting of many strongholds.
According to Zhang Xiulong's recollection, what he will never forget is that the company commanders who fought together were hit by bullets and died on the spot, and the two platoon leaders and soldiers were also sacrificed, and they were the real heroes.
During the Liberation War, when the Kuomintang 30 troops attacked the Central Plains, Zhang Xiulong, who was then the deputy commander of the Jianghan Military Region, led his troops to break through in the direction of Sichuan, and when the troops reached the vicinity of Macheng, only one battalion of troops was left.
Later, Zhang Xiulong took 3 soldiers disguised as the enemy's encirclement, went to contact the troops, saw the enemy's reward notice on the road, captured Pi Dingjun alive, Zhang Xiulong rewarded three million oceans, this price is very big!
Recalling these thrilling past events, the old general Zhang Xiulong in his later years was still excited, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Xiulong was awarded the rank of major general, served as deputy commander and commander of the Zhejiang Military Region, and later served as deputy commander and commander in Hubei, and died of illness in Wuhan on October 21, 2015 at the age of 101.
