Speaking of the revolutionary war years, Lin Zong, commander of the Fourth Field Army, believes that there is nothing he does not know. He was an outstanding military strategist of our party in the revolutionary war years, commanding the Four Fields Army to sweep the whole country, pacify the northeast, severely damage the elite of the nationalist army, swing the division into the customs, annihilate the Fu Zuoyi clique, and successfully liberate Tianjin Beiping, so far, there is no national army in north China. Drinking horses on the Yangtze River, liberating Wuhan, chasing down the south, and severely damaging Bai Chongxi's Gui clique, after that, there was no longer any military force that could stop this tiger and wolf division. Continue to the south to liberate Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other places. This is the merit of Lin Zong during the Liberation War, because of his outstanding military achievements, and was awarded the rank of field marshal in 1955 after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Please note that among the ten founding marshals, he has the best record and is the most capable of fighting.
However, as a once-in-a-century general, who is it? The wise eye recognized the talent and found this Maxima. You must know that Lin Zong did not join the revolution, he was a general, and he also grew up slowly from ordinary soldiers. Moreover, during his studies at the Whampoa Military Academy, Lin Zong's military theory was not very good, it belonged to the middle class, and if it was excellent, it would certainly attract Chiang Kai-shek's attention. If it were not for the fact that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lin had commanded the Battle of Pingxingguan, perhaps Chiang Kai-shek would not have known that the commander-in-chief of Pingxingguan was also his student.
In fact, it was found that Lin always had superior military ability, and he had to start from the failure of the Nanchang Uprising. Friends who may be familiar with modern history know that after the failure of the Nanchang Uprising, Laozong Zhu, Laozong Chen, Wang Erzhuo, and others led the remaining Red Army to continue the revolutionary cause on the borders of Fujian, Guangdong, Xianggan, and Gansu, and to use the mountainous terrain to carry out guerrilla warfare with the enemy. At this time, Lin Zong was still an unknown company commander in the revolutionary ranks, but as the old saying goes, gold will glow sooner or later, and Lin Zong is a shining gold.
In February 1928, a company led by Lin Zong was instructed by his superiors to escort grain and grass from Yongxing to Leiyang. In order to prevent the enemy from sneaking in, Lin Zong also deliberately chose to march at night, but there were unpredictable storms in the sky, and heavy rain fell that night, which brought great inconvenience to the march. What was even more unexpected, however, was that the local security regiment did not know where to get the news, and ambushed in the grass next to the road beforehand, waiting for the Red Army to escort the grain team. Just when Lin Zong had just arrived, a cannon sounded, and the two sides launched a fierce battle, because the enemy had prepared in advance, lin Zong was caught off guard, and finally, the grain was also lost, and 30 brothers were sacrificed.
Frustrated, Lin Zong returned to the base area empty-handed and reported the situation to Mr. Zhu. Probably because the grain was too important, I heard that Lin Zong had lost the grain, and the angry Mr. Zhu reprimanded him on the spot. Lin Zong, who was not good at expressing himself, did not defend himself, after all, things were lost from his hands. However, he issued a military order on the spot, promising to recover the grain.
The next day, Lin Zong and others disguised themselves as the Nationalist army to ask for grain, and the local security regiment had never seen the commander above, so they regarded Lin Zong's people as generals of the Nationalist army, and also ate and drank well. As a result, Lin Zong gave them a trick to hide the sky and cross the sea, saying that the superiors would collect grain to deal with the communist bandits, and your security regiment would more or less have to go out. The head of the security regiment was very good at patting himself on the back, so he handed over all the grain he had stolen, and paid hundreds of pounds more in order to please his superiors.
In this way, Lin Zong recovered the lost grain as scheduled, and more than before, after experiencing this incident, Mr. Zhu thought that the young man in front of him had the courage and caution to dare to go deep into the tiger's den. Of course, as a military general, you must focus on fighting wars. In the ensuing Battle of Leiyang, Lin Zong showed his skills for the first time in his military career, and at the same time fully demonstrated his outstanding military command ability, when the strength of an enemy division attacked the city of Leiyang, and Lin Zong led his troops to block the enemy's attack, successfully repelled the enemy's attack, annihilated more than a hundred enemy people, and crushed the enemy's encirclement and suppression. It is also because of this battle that Lin Zong became the battalion commander, and it is precisely because of this battle that Mr. Zhu believes that the young man in front of him is a piece of jade, which is of great cultivation value.
In this way, in the subsequent revolutionary career, Lin always fought more and more, and his position also rose along the line of Zhu Laozong. As the commander of the Red Fourth Army, Mr. Lin took over the original position of Mr. Zhu. After Mr. Zhu became the commander of the Red First Army, Lin Zong became the commander of the Red Fourth Army, and when Mr. Zhu became the commander-in-chief of the Red Army, Lin Zong became the commander of the Red First Army. It was also the promotion of Mr. Zhu, as well as the insight of the talents, who discovered Lin Zong, a general who had never met in a hundred years. Only then did he become the military prodigy of our Party who had the best military achievements and the most powerful warriors in the revolutionary war years.
