One day in 1949, Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army of Siye, became a hairdresser on a whim and gave a haircut to a messenger.
After the haircut, Liang Xingchu asked the messenger not to move first, turned around and quietly took a brush, and drew two small beards on the mouth of the messenger, which made everyone laugh.
At that time, Lin Zong was also present, and he was also amused, turning his head to secretly laugh.
Luo Ronghuan also laughed and scolded, "Liang Xingchu, how old are you, and you are still like a child, you are not big!" ”
At that time, Liang Xingchu was 37 years old and still had a childlike heart.
In fact, Liang Xingchu gave people haircuts for a reason, because he had specifically learned haircuts when he was a child.
When he was a teenager, because he was too naughty, his father would not let him go to school, so he sent him to a barber shop as an apprentice, hoping to learn a craft and become a rice bowl later.
However, Liang Xingchu was still too naughty, and once, because he was not pleasing to a customer, he actually shaved a "yin and yang head", shaved half, kept half, and was dismissed by the barbershop.
Later, Liang Xingchu began to learn to strike iron, which is also the origin of his nickname of "Iron Strike General".
Speaking of Liang Xingchu's nickname, there are really many of them, because he learned to play iron, and after joining the army, he got a nickname, called "striking iron", as long as anyone shouts "strike iron", everyone knows that he is calling Liang Xingchu.
Later, Liang Xingchu was brave in battle, and every time he rushed to the front, everyone gradually looked at him with admiration, so they changed his nickname to "Iron Strike".
Moreover, Because Liang Xingchu had protruding front teeth, he was very thin when he was a soldier, and his large teeth were exposed, so he got a nickname, called "Liang Daya".
In addition, Liang Xingchu also has a nickname, called "with a knife", how did this come about?
Originally, Liang Xingchu's original name was Liang Xingzuo, but the word zuo (zuò) was not known to many people, and it was called "Liang Xingbang", which made him very depressed, so he simply changed the right side of the word "Zuo" to "knife" and changed his name to "Liang Xingchu".
Therefore, people who know this allusion sometimes call him "the one with the knife."
Of course, Liang Xingchu also has a well-known nickname, that is, "Long Live the Commander of the Army", which originated from a campaign during the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which was introduced before in the historical inn and will not be repeated.
Although Liang Xingchu was naughty by nature and loved to joke, it was not something that ordinary people could bear to start a fire.
In January 1948, Liang Xingchu was serving as the commander of the 10th Column of the Northeast Field Army, in the Battle of Gongzhutun, the 90th Regiment of the 10th Column 30th Division was robbed by the enemy of more than 100 migrant workers, Liang Xingchu was furious when he learned of it, and directly called fang Qiang, the commander of the 30th Division: "Your mother, the meat sent to the mouth is not eaten, but let the enemy pick up a bargain!" I don't think you should be a division commander! ”
Fang Qiang was also a founding lieutenant general, but in front of Liang Xingchu, he did not dare to reply, so he had to call the leader of the 90 regiment again and said, "Your mother, if you don't wear the crime and make meritorious deeds, you will come to see me with your head!" ”
As a result, the 30th Division gained momentum and won a big victory.
After the war, Fang Qiang concluded: "This battle was well fought, and it was scolded by the commander!" ”
In October 1948, the Montenegrin Blockade War began, and Liang Xingchu's 10 columns were responsible for the blockade task.
In order to boost morale, Liang Xingchu set up the command post at the forefront, and during dinner that day, suddenly a piece of shrapnel from the enemy army flew into Liang Xingchu's bowl, but Liang Xingchu did not care, clipped out the shrapnel, and continued to eat.
Yan Fusheng, political commissar of the 28th Division next to him, said: "It is too dangerous here, so let's retreat to the rear!" ”
Who knows, Liang Xingchu slapped the chopsticks and shouted: "Mother, I will not withdraw, see which one dares to withdraw!" Whoever dares to retreat will step on my body! ”
It was inspired by Liang Xingchu's spirit of death that the 10th Column launched an astonishing momentum, annihilating more than 8,000 enemy troops and successfully completing the task of blocking Liao Yaoxiang's corps. This Montenegro blockade battle is also the Tashan blockade battle and the Xudong blockade battle, and is called the "three major blockade battles" of the liberation war.
On October 5, 1985, before Liang Xingchu died, he specially asked his family to change into a military uniform for him, and died with a smile at the age of 73.
