Among the founding generals, Xu Shiyou is known for his good use of knives and has served as the captain of the big knife death squad 5 times. But when it comes to using a knife, Xu Shiyou still has to bow to a person, because this person's nickname is called "Qin Da Dao".
The "Qin Dadao" was named Qin Jiwei, who was once the commander of the second company of the pistol battalion of the Guard Regiment of the Headquarters of the Red Fourth Front.
Once, the Red Fourth Front was fighting fiercely with the enemy, and Qin Jiwei could only defend the headquarters in the rear, and his heart was so itchy that he really couldn't stand it, so he broke into the battalion commander's office and shouted: "Battalion commander, standing guard is too weak, I want to go to the front line to fight!" ”
The battalion commander was silent and said, "If you want to fight, you can, the company stays, and the guns stay." When the battalion commander said this, he naturally wanted him to retreat, but Qin Jiwei rushed out like a whirlwind, threw his gun away, and rushed to the front line with a large knife, killing several enemies. Since then, the "Qin Great Knife" has become famous all over the world.
Qin Jiwei has a mantra: "I Qin Mou have two guns in the war, a machine gun and a pistol, the machine gun is to hit the enemy, and the pistol is to fight the deserters!" Before each battle, Qin Jiwei had to repeat this sentence, but he had never used a pistol once.
First, because the officers and men were intimidated by his majesty, no one dared to be a deserter; second, because every time he fought, he charged forward and held a machine gun to shoot wildly. It is said that once because he was too addicted to fighting, all four of his fingers were injured by the enemy, but he did not notice it until after the victory of the battle.
Although Qin Jiwei's military orders were extremely strict, he always took good care of his soldiers. Once, when the army was on a hasty march, the road was muddy due to the rain for several days, and the soldier carrying the machine gun could not move, so Qin Jiwei, who was already the commander of the army, jumped off his horse, took the machine gun over, carried it on his shoulder, and strode forward. The soldiers shouted to the rear: "The commander also carries machine guns!" As a result, the whole team was excited, and no one dared to say the word "tired" again.
General Qin's most glorious battles should be counted on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
It is said that when the US military academy studied the Chinese army, it had such a saying: Why can't Shangganling be defeated? Why does Lei Feng have so much influence? Only by studying these two issues clearly can we truly understand the Chinese army.
Among them, the main force in the Battle of Shangganling was Qin Jiwei's Fifteenth Army.
On the position of Shangganling, which was only 3.7 square kilometers, the US military mobilized more than 60,000 people, more than 300 artillery, more than 170 tanks, and more than 3,000 aircraft to carry out repeated bombing, and its artillery fire density exceeded the highest level of the Second World War. However, Qin Jiwei used his flesh and blood to hardly withstand more than 900 charges of the US army, with a record of 11,500 casualties and 25,000 enemy kills, making the US army fruitless and shocking the world.
When the battle was at its most intense, Wang Jinshan, deputy commander of the Third Corps, called Qin Jiwei and proposed two plans, one was to fight and the other was to collect, and let them have a meeting to discuss. As a result, Qin Jiwei did not allow others to discuss at the meeting, and said fiercely: "The current battles are concentrated in Shangganling, which is the glory of the Fifteenth Army!" We have to grit our teeth and stand up again, the enemy can't beat this hardness. The battle of Shangganling must be fought resolutely! ”
It is precisely with this "hard strength" that Qin Jiwei bit down on this hard bone, which made Clark, commander of the "United Nations Army", lose face.
In March 1961, the Chinese Air Force set up airborne troops and selected four of the most elite armies from the whole army, namely the First Army, the Fifteenth Army, the Twentieth Army, and the Thirty-eighth Army, and let Liu Yalou choose them. As a result, Liu Yalou did not say a word and directly pointed to the Fifteenth Army. When the leader of the Central Military Commission asked him why, Liu Yalou said: "The Fifteenth Army has fought a national prestige in Shangganling!" ”
General Qin is brave and invincible on the battlefield, but sometimes he is also silly and cute. In 1933, Qin Jiwei was not yet 19 years old, and when he first saw the phone, he didn't know what it was. Once, just after returning to the station from Zheng Yizhai, the minister of the General Supply Department, the phone rang, qin Jiwei tried to pick it up, and it took half a day to hear the other party speaking, and it was Zheng Yizhai's voice. Qin Jiwei was a little puzzled: Didn't we just meet? How did you get into the phone?
Qin Jiwei couldn't understand what was going on, and he was afraid that something was wrong with Zheng Yizhai, so he immediately rode his horse and ran back, until he saw Zheng Yizhai and then put his mind at ease.
