Xu Shiyou spent his life on horseback, galloped to the battlefield, was invincible, and made countless outstanding military achievements. Coming from Shaolin, he is not only extremely strong in his own strength, but also has world-class military command ability. Therefore, Xu Shiyou's name has long been known in the military. Xu Shiyou is so outstanding, the natural strength of the generals under his command is extraordinary, such as: Nie Fengzhi, Wang Jinshan, Wang Bicheng and others, are all generals who command thousands of troops and horses.
Xu Shiyou
Among Xu Shiyou's many generals, some of them were second only to Xu Shiyou, and some of them could be of the same level as him, but few of them could surpass him. However, the hero we want to talk about today is a genius who surpasses Xu Shiyou. At first, he was only a service soldier under Xu Shiyou; later, he became Xu Shiyou's co-working partner, and later, he surpassed Xu Shiyou and became Xu Shiyou's immediate boss, this person was named Chen Haisong.
Chen Haisong was born in Hubei in 1914 to a poor family, his mother died at an early age, and he had the privilege of attending a private school for several years as a child. In 1930, Chen Haisong, who was only 16 years old, joined the children's regiment and became the leader of the children's regiment, and his ambition to join the army was simple: he must turn over for the toiling masses.
Chen Haisong
But joining the army is not a joke, and if you don't get it right, you have to lose your head, so after hearing the news, my father hurriedly dissuaded him. Chen Haisong was clever since he was a child, and he saw his father's worries at a glance, so he deliberately did not participate in the children's group activities and cultivated the land at home every day to eliminate his father's concerns. When his father saw that Chen Haisong had stopped joining the army, he thought that the dissuasion had worked, and he was very happy about it.
As everyone knows, Chen Haisong's ambition is firmer than he imagined. One morning, a well-disciplined, orderly army marched north from the main road, and this unit was the main Red Army of "Xu Shuai". Coincidentally, Chen Haisong's home was next to the main road, and he had a clever move, threw his hoe, and gloriously became a Soldier of the Red Army. As a result, Chen Haisong never came back.
When registering, a battalion commander (Xu Shiyou) found that Chen Haisong was very smart, and without saying a word, he directly "grabbed" him and let him become his own attendant. After joining the Red Army, Chen Haisong was quickly promoted to company instructor because of his outstanding performance and bravery in battle.
Chen Haisong was not only clever and clever, but also had a very good memory, and within a few days of entering the company, he could call out the names of all the soldiers in the company one by one. When teaching, he only needs to read the material once to understand the overall content and sort out a clear lecture plan. Therefore, every time he took a political lesson, he could always talk about it endlessly, not only logically clear, but also easy to understand and practical, so he was deeply supported by the soldiers. And his prestige is gradually increasing in these excellent moves.
Chen Haisong's outstanding ability was quickly appreciated by his superiors, and he was soon promoted from company instructor to battalion political commissar, and within half a year, he was promoted from battalion political commissar to regimental political commissar.
However, the good times did not last long, and the Red Fourth Front carried out a "great purge" during the 3rd road siege of the anti-Sichuan Army, and Chen Haisong was unfortunately arrested. In Xu's eyes, Chen Haisong did his best for the revolution, and he was a rare good fighter. Therefore, he immediately called Chen Changhao to argue. Fortunately, under Xu's intervention, Chen Haisong saved his life, but was removed from his post and party membership and became an ordinary soldier.
Although he had no position, this could not stop the sharp light on Chen Haisong's body. During a battle, Chen Haisong was temporarily appointed deputy battalion commander, responsible for leading his troops to hold their positions and resist the incoming enemy forces. In this battle, Chen Haisong only had one battalion of troops, but he was facing the enemy of a whole 5 regiments, and the disparity between the enemy and us was too huge, and it was very difficult to complete the task.
However, Chen Haisongli, with his superior wisdom and rich combat experience, fought to the death for 3 days and 3 nights, and finally turned the tide, not only repelling the enemy army, holding the position, but also annihilating more than 2500 enemies.
Chen Haisong was so outstanding that he displayed his military command ability to the fullest in every battle, so how could the "Xu Shuai" who was discerning and discerning not meet him? Finally, when the troops marched to Wangcang County, Xu Shuai and others held a meeting (previously, due to Chen Haisong's outstanding realization, he had resumed his party membership and post), and promoted Chen Haisong to the political commissar of the Red 25th Division, and the division commander was Xu Shiyou.
Since then, under the command of Chen Haisong and Xu Shiyou, the Red 25th Division has calmly responded to the battle, whether it is close combat, long-distance combat, or position counterattack, it has performed very well, and each time it has won the battle at a very small cost. In September 1934, after the annihilation of Huang Jiaoyao, the Red Fourth Front army smashed Liu Xiang's 6-way siege, at this time, Chen Haisong was promoted to political commissar of the Red 9 Army (the Red 25th Division and 27th Division under the Red 9 Army) because of his many outstanding military achievements, and the deputy commander was Xu Shiyou, Chen Haisong became Xu Shiyou's top boss by Xu Shiyou's service soldiers, and he was only 20 years old this year.
At the beginning of 1935, in response to the central Red Army moving north, the Red Fourth Front decided to launch the Southern Shaanxi Campaign. In this battle, Chen Haisong led his troops and brothers to annihilate the enemy's 49th Brigade; in February, he led his troops to attack Fengyichang, forcing the enemy to surrender; in April, he led the Red 25th Division and his brotherly troops (27th Division) to surround Jiangyou, taking more than 3,000 prisoners...
In October 1936, the Red Army began its western expedition, and along the way, Chen Haisong commanded the Red 9th Army and successfully crossed the Yellow River. Unfortunately, in the Battle of Gulang, the Red 9th Army was surrounded by the enemy and only broke through after paying a lot of sacrifices. In March 1937, the Western Expedition continued, the Western Route Army Brigade entered Liyuankou, and the Red 9th Army was ordered to hold the mountain pass.
At this time, after many fierce battles, the number of the Red 9 Army was less than a thousand, while the enemy army was more than 10 times more. In order to ensure the safe transfer of organ personnel, Chen Haisong and more than 700 soldiers held their positions, and after a confrontation between the enemy and us, the Red 9 Army was obviously short of ammunition. But the enemy's crazy attack never stopped, and it persisted for a while, and the Red 9 Army had run out of ammunition.
Chen Haisong gently stroked the battle, and then issued a roar: "Kill", and all the fighters fought with bayonets and stones. In the end, Chen Haisong led the fighters to fight for a full 7 hours. The fighting became weaker and weaker, the soldiers of the Red 9 Army became fewer and fewer, and when the last Red Army soldier on the position fell, the sky returned to its former tranquility.
In this battle, all 700 people of the Red 9 Army were killed except for one soldier who escaped from danger. And Chen Haisong himself was also shot 8 times and died heroically. At this point, a generation of young and promising military geniuses had not had time to exert more ambitions and lay still in the Hexi Corridor.
Chen Haisong was able to recruit good soldiers, and he became a military-level cadre at a young age, which can be called a military genius, and even "Elder Zhu" could not help but sigh: "Chen Haisong is the youngest and most promising military commander of the Red Fourth Front!" "But it is a pity that such a military genius has not been able to reach the end without the wishes of the people." Although the hero has passed away, the heroic soul will live forever, salute you!
