He led a company to repel 2 enemy regiments, many times with few victories, and died shortly after being promoted to lieutenant general
After many people have achieved success in life, they will have a good life later. However, some people say that "the world is impermanent", such as the following general, his life is very unexpected and sudden. Because after he was just awarded the rank of major general, it did not take long for him to die of a sudden illness.
This general is Ye Daoyou, a senior general of our army. After he joined our Party in 1931, he was only a signal soldier and service soldier of the Red Army, but he was very clever, and he always worked hard to improve his leadership ability, and finally became the commander of the Red Army, and achieved excellent results in the first four "anti-encirclement and suppression" battles of the Red Army.
Although the situation at that time was that the enemy was outnumbered and outnumbered, the unfavorable situation did not make Ye Daoyou feel frightened, calm and calm, commanded well, and brilliantly completed the tasks arranged by his superiors.
In 1932, Ye Daoyou led his army to fight the enemy at the Fork River in Shanxi, when he led a company, but faced the enemy with 2 regiments. In the unfavorable situation, a miraculous thing happened, and after a fierce battle with the enemy, Ye Daoyou led a company to repel multiple rounds of attacks by the enemy's 2 regiments to ensure the safety of the living forces of our army.
If in the previous battle, if Ye Daoyou had a defensive advantage, then Ye Daoyou then led another company to defeat an enemy battalion and successfully seized the mountain, which showed that he could win more with less, relying on Ye Daoyou's excellent command.
Ye Daoyou also participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang in 1938. In 1942, Ye Daoyou served as the commander of the Eighth Route Army, and four Japanese puppet army strongholds surrounded Ye Daoyou, and the situation was very dangerous.
In the face of the Japanese army, which was superior in strength and weapons to the Eighth Route Army, Ye Daoyou did not panic at all, and made full use of the high mobility of the Eighth Route Army to break through, breaking the enemy's encirclement, and destroying 4 Japanese puppet army strongholds, eliminating more than 300 enemies.
Ye Daoyou also liked to win surprise battles, and then the Japanese puppet army sent 4 regiments to surround the 2 battalions of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Jiuding Mountain in Huaibei. The strength of the troops is extremely precious to the Eighth Route Army, and if 2 battalions are lost, it will definitely have a great impact on the Eighth Route Army.
At the critical moment, ye Daoyou led a battalion to break the siege. He believed that it was necessary to "capture the thief before capturing the king"; after reconnaissance knew the position of the enemy's headquarters, he led his troops to directly hit the enemy's "brain." As soon as the command system was chaotic, the enemy's four regiments were paralyzed, and the brother troops were able to break through smoothly.
The scars on the soldiers' bodies are the military merit badges one after another. Ye Daoyou fought many hard battles, participated in more than a hundred large and small battles in his life, had seven large scars on his body, and awarded him the honorary certificate of "Second Class Revolutionary Disabled Soldier".
When ye Daoyou was first awarded the rank in 1955, he was not awarded the rank of general, but he held important military positions such as deputy commander of the Fourth Fleet of the East China Military Region. In 1961, when the title was awarded for the second time, Ye Daoyou was finally promoted to the rank of major general.
Unfortunately, at the end of 1961, Ye Daoyou died of a sudden illness. Earlier, Xu Shiyou and Tao Yong were very serious about Ye Daoyou, and the two were very sad after learning the news of Ye Daoyou's death, Xu Shiyou cried a lot, and Tao Yong could not eat for three days.
