The world is worried and worried, and the world is happy and happy. ——Fan Zhongyan
In the history of modern Chinese warfare, the ten marshals of the People's Liberation Army have long been famous, and they have made great contributions to the establishment of new China. The story of each marshal is extremely legendary, among them, Xu Xiangqian has served as vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, chief of the general staff, and minister of national defense, becoming a marshal worthy of the name of the three highest military positions in the whole army.
Although he has experienced hundreds of battles and made great achievements in battle, Xu Xiangqian is a very low-key and simple marshal, he has experienced ups and downs in his life, and he has been in critical situations many times, but with his superior wisdom, he finally turned evil into luck and turned danger into disaster, in addition, Xu Xiangqian is also the only marshal from the north among the ten marshals. The pace of history is constantly advancing, but the deeds of those heroes have been engraved in the gushing years.
Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and they have walked in the clouds
Xu Xiangqian was born in Wutai County, Shanxi, and the day he was born happened to be the day after the death of Li Hongzhang, a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty, and it seemed to indicate that the heavens needed him to take over the post.
At that time, the land of China was full of wolf smoke, warlords were fighting for many years, and the people's lives were miserable, and Xu Xiangqian, when he was a child, under the guidance of his family, had already made up his mind to save all the people from water and fire. Due to his poor family, Xu Xiangqian apprenticed in a bookstore, and it was here that he read books and got the opportunity to understand the world for the first time.
During this period, the warlords everywhere competed with each other to run schools, hoping to reserve talents for their own forces through the way of running schools. As a result, Xu Xiangqian's fate finally ushered in the first turnaround, and in 1924, Xu Xiangqian was admitted to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and thus began his life of fighting horses.
However, in the military academy, he did not seem to be valued by the then chairman of the rector's committee, so he remained obscure until the later Red Army period, when the chairman of the committee regretted losing this talent.
In the spring of the following year after entering the military academy, in order to fight against the Guangdong warlord Chen Jiongming, the revolutionary army planned to form the main force of the Eastern Crusade with officers and students of the Whampoa Military Academy. Xu Xiangqian also joined the Eastern Expeditionary Army, in this campaign, Xu Xiangqian has already demonstrated his heroic and wise side, after the victory of the Eastern Crusade, Xu Xiangqian served as an instructor of the Nationalist Army, and gradually accumulated experience in leading the army.
However, this year was crucial to Xu Xiangqian's life, and it was during the Crusade that he saw those benevolent men who were not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice for the revolution, and it was also after serving as an instructor that he also saw the dark side of corruption and military discipline within the Nationalist Army. He was like a dandelion lost in the wind, waiting for the call of the heavens.
Chen Jiongming
The general died in a hundred battles, and the hero returned in ten years
The hero always seemed to be waiting to be arranged by fate, and after the defeat of the Great Revolution, Xu Xiangqian was introduced to the party organization. When he first joined the organization, he received an important task, facing the loose red regime in various places, it was necessary to immediately organize and develop the Red Army base areas, and the Red Army he took over at that time were some peasants who were mainly engaged in agriculture.
Xu Xiangqian exerted outstanding foresight, eventually united the hearts of the people, and faced the encirclement and suppression of the Nationalist government army, several times with less victory over more, his prestige gradually became prominent in the army.
The most critical time node in Xu Xiangqian's life occurred during the Long March, after the development and expansion of the Red Army base area in the Eyu-Anhui Soviet Region, Xu Xiangqian had truly demonstrated his talent as a senior leader of the army.
When the Central Red Army met with the Red Fourth Front, Xu Xiangqian finally returned to the Party Central Committee, and in the face of Zhang Guotao's plan to split the Red Army, Xu Xiangqian righteously refused and leaned close to the Central Red Army. This Red Army, which Zhang Guotao was trying to split, was cultivated by Xu Xiangqian almost single-handedly, and he was also the youngest commander in the Red Army Front at that time.
Zhang Guotao
All this is inseparable from Xu Xiangqian's personal ability, and it is precisely because he has such an earth-shattering and ghostly resume that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Xiangqian can serve as vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, chief of the general staff, minister of national defense, and other important positions.
However, Tie Han is tender, and Xu Xiangqian still has an unknown experience. At that time, in the Red Army base area, seeing that Xu Xiangqian's prestige was getting higher and higher, Zhang Guotao was already jealous, and he commanded his men to secretly arrest Xu Xiangqian's wife Cheng Xunxuan, hoping to accuse Xu Xiangqian of mistakes through her, so as to depose Xu Xiangqian.
However, the marshal's wife was also an iron-boned Zhengzheng, vowing not to bow to the evil forces, Zhang Guotao's calculation was empty, and he sent someone to secretly execute Cheng Xunxuan. A few years later, Xu Xiangqian learned of the cause and effect of the incident, and he was silent, so that he refused to marry for many years thereafter.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Xiangqian served as the deputy commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, thus beginning his career in the War of Resistance. Xu Xiangqian fully observed the people's and military conditions, opened up a number of anti-war base areas, and fought the Japanese army with fear. Xu Xiangqian has a particularly miraculous ability, that is, to develop the party's cause with his own strength in the midst of danger, and eventually from the spark of the stars to the brilliance of the sun and the moon.
At the beginning, he obeyed the instructions of the Party Central Committee and opened up a new base area for the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and through visits and investigations, combined with reality, he finally formed the base area of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in southern Hebei. It was under the leadership of these heroes that by the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the total number of the Eighth Route Army had grown to nearly one million.
It is advisable to chase the remaining courage to the poor and shock the world
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it was originally thought that the land of China would usher in the Day of Peace, but unexpectedly, the chairman of the committee openly tore up the Double Tenth Agreement and took the initiative to invade the Liberated Areas. At this time, Xu Xiangqian once again provoked the girder at a critical juncture, this time facing his predecessor, Yan Xishan, the "King of Shanxi".
Yan Xishan
Yan Xishan and Xu Xiangqian were both from Wutai County, and Yan had been operating in Shanxi for many years. Unfortunately, he met Xu Xiangqian, the god of war of the People's Liberation Army, who launched the Jinzhong Campaign and the Taiyuan Campaign, and finally Yan Xishan fled to Taiwan in a hurry, and never returned to the mainland in his life.
In October 1949, new China was founded, and Xu Xiangqian served as the chief of the general staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In the face of this civilized country that has endured hardships, everything is in ruins to be rebuilt, and the country and the people need Xu Xiangqian, and since then he has served as minister of national defense and vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.
No matter in which post he was in, he worked diligently and bowed to the end of his life, and almost contributed his life's energy to the construction of the motherland, and in 1955, Xu Xiangqian was awarded the rank of marshal.
After the founding of New China, although Xu Xiangqian was in a high position, but always remembered Cangsheng, in 1979 against the Vietnamese self-defense counterattack war broke out, at this time the marshal was old, but living in the temple is worried about the people, Xu Xiangqian once again shouldered a heavy burden.
He participated in the planning and organization of the military counterattack against Vietnam, and finally won the victory in the war against Vietnam with the unremitting efforts of all commanders and fighters, which fully reflected his high style and good manners as a party member.
Moreover, Xu Xiangqian's amateur life is rich and colorful, he likes photography, can knit sweaters, and his life is full of fun. He used his life to embody the proper qualities of an excellent commander, and when faced with difficulties, he could achieve Taishan collapse in front of him and not change, and he could cultivate his sentiments in the face of leisure.
The rolling torrent of history carries the heroes to the east, and in the relentless changes of the years, those glorious deeds will always shine. A people carrying great suffering has come all the way from the bloody rain and wind, and those ancestors who illuminated the way forward for the nation in the darkness will be immortal forever.
A hundred years of time is fleeting, the great cause of the marshal is like a beacon, today's leisurely China has become an image of rejuvenation, with a magnificent new look will step into a new journey, in those buried dusty past, for this nation, the country to make a lifelong dedication to the characters they will eventually smile nine springs, all go to the past, count the popular characters, but also look at the present dynasty.
