After the liberation of the Great Southwest, Zha Yusheng was the commander of the 41st Division of the 14th Army, and at that time the bandit plague in the Great Southwest was very serious, and the bandits often attacked the PLA's grain collection task force and the small unit of the Platon Army; Zha Yusheng fought many vicious battles with the bandits in the Great Southwest, and the most dangerous one was to escort a local toastmaster to Kunming; at that time, after eavesdropping on the phone about the news that the commander of the Zha Yusheng Division was going to escort Tusi to Kunming, the bandits gathered more than 200 people and ambushed them in the 707 place of Baoshan, preparing to ambush Cha Yusheng's convoy. When the path was here, Zha Yusheng saw that the terrain was dangerous, and prepared for battle in advance, he only led a squad of guards, saw the bandits rushing over, pulled out a pistol, a sharpshooter, a shot to knock down a bandit, with the joint efforts of the guards and fighters, repelled the fierce attack of more than 200 bandits, killed the enemy was afraid, with tenacious fighting spirit to beat the bandits away, the head of the toast saw the heroic fighting spirit of the commander of the Zha Yusheng Division, exclaimed that Zha Yusheng was a tall man, a god, and Zha Yusheng just smiled. Calmly comforting him whether he was frightened or not, and escorted the head of the toast to Kunming safely, so that he could meet Chairman Mao in Beijing as scheduled.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Zha Yusheng was transferred to the 60th Army as a deputy commander, and Commander Wei Jie assigned him to do logistical work, and in March 1950 he went to the Korean front.
In April, before his heel was stable, he participated in the fifth battle of the volunteer army, after the 180th Division was surrounded, Zha Yusheng was very anxious in his heart, and suggested to commander Wei Jie to invest in the 179th Division and the 181st Division to counterattack, but for various reasons, the 180th Division was still scattered in a whole structure, and after the war, Zha Yusheng lamented that the battle was too bad and was very angry.
Zha Yusheng (1914-1998), a native of Lu'an City, Anhui Province, joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in 1931, joined the Communist Youth League and transferred to the Communist Party of China in the same year, during the Agrarian Revolutionary War, he served as a platoon leader of the 31st Regiment of the 11th Division of the Fourth Army of the Red Fourth Front, and the leader of the communication team of the 93rd Division of the 31st Army, and participated in the Long March.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the company commander of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the battalion commander of the Supplementary Regiment, the deputy commander of the 772nd Regiment, and the commander of the 16th Regiment.
During the Liberation War, he served as deputy brigade commander of the Independent Brigade of the Taiyue Military Region and brigade commander of the 22nd Brigade of the Fourth Column of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army, the commander of the 22nd Brigade of the Fourth Column of the Central Plains Field Army, and the commander of the 41st Division of the 14th Army of the Second Field Army.
During the Liberation War, after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th Columns of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army broke through the natural dangers of the Yellow River on June 30, 1947, advanced towards the Dabie Mountains, and inserted themselves into the heart of the enemy, the remaining Chen Geng Corps launched a strategic struggle with the enemy in western Henan, at that time, Zha Yusheng was the commander of the 22nd Brigade under Chen Geng, crossed the Yellow River, and launched a major battle with the Kuomintang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains, playing the prestige of four columns and four tigers.
After the Battle of Huaihai, the People's Liberation Army crossed the Yangtze River to fight, and Zha Yusheng was now the commander of the 41st Division of the 14th Army, following Chen Geng's corps and launching a thousand-mile pursuit of the Kuomintang remnants, after the troops eliminated most of Bai Chongxi's Gui clan.
At this time, the 15th Corps of Siye was ready to launch the Battle of Hainan Island, and recruited the aircraft sailing ship, but the machine sailing ship had no engine and could not run fast, after Han Xianchu heard that the 41st Division had captured a large number of Kuomintang cars, Han Xianchu found Zha Yusheng's 41st Division and asked for the car engine, and the 41st Division did capture a lot of enemy cars in the battle of Ruili in Yunnan, he was not as small as Li Yunlong, but generously unloaded the car engine to Han Xianchu's troops, and his troops walked to pursue and annihilate the enemy, in fact, There were very few soldiers in our army like Li Yunlong in the TV series, and at that time, the first generation of soldiers was very concerned about the overall situation, and the orders issued by their superiors were resolutely and uncompromisingly fulfilled.
After returning from Korea, Zha Yusheng served as a military commander and deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region, and in September 1955, he was awarded the rank of founding major general.
Zha Yusheng never left his gun in his life, even if he slept at night, he had to keep the gun at hand and get it at any time, in his words: "We who are soldiers must have this kind of vigilance and be ready to fight at any time." ”
When Zha Yusheng was the deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region, he often went down to the troops to inspect the work, and when he arrived at the troops, instead of inspecting the artillery equipment of the troops, he went straight to the pig pen of the company to see the fat and thin of the pigs. Instead, look at whether there are any complaints in the toilet? Did you scold the company commander, the instructor? If so, it means that the company is not united.
He is such a strange man, his temper is still unusually hot, and he is full of enthusiasm for comrades, so if he sees gangsters provoking trouble, if he encounters him, the hooligans will be unlucky.
Once, when the general inspected the work of the troops under the army and came to the Dali Hotel in Yunnan province for dinner, they had just sat down in a private room, which was a group of local hooligans who broke in and said that this private room was the place where they often gathered for dinner and discussion, and they were used to sitting in this place, so they moved the general to another private room to sit.
The general suddenly caught fire: "I'm sitting here so well, why should I give it to you?" What do you do? How to do things so domineering? ”
The leader of the rogue said, "We are the ground snakes here, the underworld, how come we got it?" Let's not let it go, shall we? If you don't let it, you'll look good. ”
The general said unusually calmly, "Do you know who I am?" ”
The goons asked in amazement, "Who are you?" ”
The general said: "The Kuomintang reactionaries were all beaten to the ground by me, and when the bandits were suppressed in the great southwest, bandit No. 200 surrounded us with seven or eight people, and we all ran away, not to mention the US troops on the Korean battlefield, right?" You haven't seen it, that's really powerful, isn't that still defeated by us? What kind of thing are you stinky boys? In my place to claim the king and hegemony, you do not accept the contest? ”
When the hooligans heard this, they encountered the warriors who came down from the battlefield, and hurriedly withdrew, and the general and the guards laughed loudly, and the general said to the soldiers: "The soldiers who yield without fighting are also a strategy, this gang of little thieves, which can recruit you to clean up, these guys are still interesting, retreat early, so as not to be discounted by you." ”
After a quiet meal in the private room, the general and his party boarded the car and returned to the road.
In 1984, the general retired from the leadership post, left Hugh to spend his old age at home, and served as deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region for more than 20 years. Or be a commoner, free, we don't lack anything, so add trouble to the organization. ”
The general's life was simple, his life was very casual, and he was reluctant to throw it away when he was washed white in a military uniform, and he often said: "The glorious traditions of our army cannot be lost, and the spirit of hardship and simplicity must be passed on." ”
