In the war years, due to a lot of uncertainty, so there were many interesting little stories, Xu Shiyou was a tough general in our army, during the Red Army, in his body, something that was difficult for him to believe happened, but for the final result of this matter, he was very happy and gladly accepted, this thing is that the person who was his service soldier became his partner in 4 years.
In 1933, Xu Shiyou was appointed as the commander of the Red 25th Division, and soon, the political commissar was transferred to the military department, Xu Shiyou was also the political commissar, one person to do the work of two people, and Xu Shiyou was still a big grinning personality, he could not do it, he had been complaining to his superiors, more than a month later, he had to urge his superiors again, and quickly sent a partner political commissar to himself.
In June, the military department sent a letter to Xu Shiyou, saying that he had sent a political commissar, and Xu Shiyou was very happy to get this news, but when he greeted the political commissar outside, Xu Shiyou wiped his eyes and looked at the new partner who was very familiar, he said: "Aren't you my service soldier 4 years ago?" ”
Yes, his new partner is called Chen Haisong, when he first joined the army, he was a service soldier next to Xu Shiyou, and later he became more and more courageous in battle, and he was promoted, and 4 years later, he became the political commissar of the Red 25th Division, and what people did not expect was that a year later, Chen Haisong was promoted to the political commissar of the Red Ninth Army, at this time, he became Xu Shiyou's superior.
The same thing happened to another legendary general of our army, Xu Huizi.
In 1948, in the Battle of Shenyang in the Liaoshen Campaign, Huang Daxuan, who was the commander of the Sharp Knife Company of the 16th Regiment of the 6th Division of the 2nd Column of Dongye, first invaded Shenyang and captured Zhou Fucheng, the enemy's supreme commander in Shenyang.
Among these prisoners, Huang Daxuan decided to choose several suitable candidates to join the People's Liberation Army, including a tall-looking and very energetic person, Huang Daxuan wanted him to join the army, but he himself said that he did not want to fight and wanted to go home.
After Huang Daxuan's advice and comfort, this big man stayed and joined the People's Liberation Army, and he was Xu Huizi.
After joining the People's Liberation Army, Xu Huizi went south with his troops and participated in the Pingjin Campaign, the Hengbao Campaign, and the Guangxi Campaign, making contributions to the cause of liberation.
After returning to China, Xu Huizi successively served as deputy chief of staff of the regiment and division commander.
In 1983, Huang Daxuan, who was the deputy commander of the 39th Army, received an order from his superiors to send a military commander to meet him, and when Huang Daxuan saw the new commander, he was a little surprised: Isn't this the prisoner I captured that year?
Yes, the new commander of the 39th Army is Xu Huizi, a prisoner 35 years ago, and now he has become his superior, Xu Huizi looks very open, but Huang Daxuan is a little embarrassed, Xu Huizi enlightened him: "Old company commander, this is all history, we must not forget." ”
When Huang Daxuan heard Xu Huizi's words, he also wanted to open, and he shook his hand tightly and said, "Well, I really didn't think about this day." The two laughed at the same time, very harmonious.
Later, Xu Huizi successively served as deputy chief of the general staff, president of the Academy of Military Sciences, and in 1994, he was promoted to general.
