Since its birth, the people's army has been full of heroes and heroes everywhere, and many of them are not only brave and fearless in battle, but also have a superb martial art, coupled with the lack of weapons in our army for a long time, they can only use a large number of large knives and spears as weapons, so many heroes who habitually use large knives to play impressive achievements have emerged, and three of them are particularly fond of killing the enemy with big knives, known as the "three great knifemen" of the Red Army, who are they?
【General Xu Shiyou】
The first is the death captain Xu Shiyou
Xu Shiyou, born in 1905 in Tianpu Township, Xinxian County, Xinyang City, Henan Province, has had the heart of heroism and righteousness since childhood, so he defected to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts for many years and practiced martial arts, especially sword skills.
After Xu Shiyou participated in the revolution, due to the lack of guns and ammunition in the troops, he built many large knife darts, and Xu Shiyou specially created a steel knife of dozens of pounds for himself, carrying it behind him all day. As soon as the battle began, Xu Shiyou drew his large knife and charged forward!
In order to boost morale, Xu Shiyou selected warriors in the army to form a "death squad", Xu Shiyou personally became the captain of the death squad, and every battle the death squad took the lead, with a fearless spirit of death, encouraging all fighters to fight to the death, and often in the end they could win more with the weak and the strong.
Xu Shiyou's "spirit of the death squad" remained unchanged until he became a division commander and commander of the Red Army, and although he became a division commander, he still often rushed into the enemy position with a large knife and fought with the enemy at a critical juncture in battle.
Xu Shiyou's sword skills were exquisite, and once during a battle, he saw an enemy leader in command, and raised his sword to meet him.
The guy turned around and ran, Xu Shiyou quickly caught up, cut off this guy's head with a knife, and a shocking scene appeared: only to see the headless corpse subject to inertia, and even ran a few steps before falling to the ground. This kind of killing technique also has a history in martial arts, called "picking peaches in the leaves", and the enemy troops around Xu Shiyou are all afraid.
【General He Bingyan】
The second is the one-armed sword king He Bingyan
He Bingyan, born in 1913 in Liujiachang Town, Songzi City, Hubei Province, has been strong and strong since childhood, like a calf, likes to dance knives and guns, and has studied knife skills with a famous local dart master for several years.
Later, He Bingyan joined the Red Army team formed by He Long, fought very bravely, and became a member of He Long's strong generals. He Bingyan also likes to use large knives in battle. During the Long March in 1935, He Bingyan swung his sword into battle and was unfortunately wounded in his right arm.
At that time, the medical conditions were rudimentary, He Bingyan's injuries had to be amputated, and in the absence of anesthesia, He Bingyan gritted his teeth and watched his right arm being sawn off by a carpenter with a saw! During the whole bloody process, He Bingyan did not say a word, and his tenacity and perseverance were even worse than Guan Yu's bone scraping to cure poison.
He Long later saw that He Bingyan was disabled and asked him if he could still be revolutionary. He Bingyan raised his left arm and heroically replied, "Why not revolutionize?" I still have my left arm! Kill the enemy with a knife! ”
General He Bingyan did what he said, and in the future he actually practiced swordplay with his left arm, and continued to lead the warriors to fight in battle. The Japanese army was very awe-inspired when they saw the situation, and called their troops "number one" troops.
The reason why the Japanese army respected He Bingyan's unit so much was not only because commander He Bingyan was a one-armed sword king, but even political commissar Yu Qiuli was actually a hero who lost an arm in battle, one of them lost his right arm and the other lost his left arm, and the combat effectiveness of the first column of the 120th Division led by him was one of the most powerful troops in the Eighth Route Army.
【General Qin Jiwei】
The third is the "Qin Great Knife" of the Gods in world war I
Qin Jiwei was born in November 1914 in Hong'an County, Hubei Province, and learned martial arts since childhood.
In the early years, uncle Da gave him a large rusty knife, Qin Jiwei took it to the river to grind without a problem, the sharpened light was radiant and sharp, Qin Jiwei wielded a large knife all day to practice knife techniques, and the knife techniques were getting more and more refined.
Later, there was a revolution in his hometown, which was the famous "jute uprising", Qin Jiwei, who was only 13 years old, was carrying a large knife to participate, and the troops originally thought that he was too small to accept, but later saw Qin Jiwei's majestic and murderous appearance, so he made an exception and accepted it.
Qin Jiwei was at the beginning in the guard unit, taking on the task of defending the regimental headquarters, during a fierce battle, Qin Jiwei listened to the distant guns rumbling in his ears, but he could only stand quietly on the guard with a large knife on his back, and he could not hold back his enthusiasm for battle in his heart, kicked open the gate of the regimental commander, and said: "Who loves to stand at this post, Lao Tzu does not stand, I want to go to the front line to kill the enemy." ”
The regimental commander saw that although Qin Jiwei was undisciplined, he was also eager to fight, and there was no criticism, but just used a disguised radical method to say: "Okay, if there is a chance, you will leave the guns distributed by the guard company, and take your big knife to the front line, after this battle is over, I will make you the king of the big sword!" ”
Qin Jiwei listened, and without saying a word, he left the company's guns behind, carried the big knife to the position, and killed many enemies and made great achievements.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Qin Jiwei fought a war in Taigu County, Shanxi Province, and the local traitors were rampant, so Qin Jiwei personally sneaked into the county town with his troops, and overnight used a large knife to kill the traitors who were included in the "blacklist" one by one, and left a note next to the corpse: The fate of the traitors. For a moment, the shock was tremendous, and the traitors in all directions were panicked, which greatly shocked the arrogance of the enemy.
Today we will take the three of them as an example to tell how the officers and men of our army still fought bravely and tenaciously under the unfavorable conditions of lack of food and clothing and insufficient weapons and ammunition, so as to commemorate the martyrs and inspire future generations.
