In 1941, the Kuomintang launched the "Anhui Southern Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries, which was the peak of the Nationalist army's "anti-communism". Due to the despicable sneak attack of the Nationalist army, our army was defenseless and could only carry out a large-scale breakthrough. Fu Qiutao, then commander-in-chief of the First Column of the New Fourth Army and a government official, was surrounded and suppressed by the Kuomintang's heavy army in a place called "Tiger Ping". At that time, the Nationalist army led 30,000 people to encircle our army of 3,000 people, and this breakthrough was destined to be tragic and abnormal.
Southern Anhui Incident
They could only hide in the mountains and find an opportunity to break through. The Nationalist army searched the mountain on a large scale, and Fu Qiutao decisively ordered: break through the whole into pieces and disperse the breakthrough. Only in this way can the flame of revolution be preserved. However, his wife Chen Feiran was still holding her daughter who was less than one year old in her arms at this time, and in the face of such a difficult situation, they all knew in their hearts that the road ahead was bound to be dangerous and abnormal.
After Fu Qiutao's army dispersed, he found the gap between the nationalist troops and planned to fight to the death. But it was undoubtedly unrealistic to carry a daughter in his arms, and he made a painful decision: to leave her daughter and give her to the villagers who supported the Red Army.
Due to Fu Qiutao's wise leadership, the first column he led was the largest number of breakthroughs. So how did this Fu Qiutao do it?
Desperate breakout
In fact, as a posterity, if you look at this history, you will find that when the Anhui Incident broke out, the situation faced by the First Column led by Fu Qiutao was the most dangerous. Because his men defected and betrayed, the first column was actually the first unit to be ambushed, and worse, the radio was broken at the beginning, which never expected to give the troops more autonomy. Other units missed the best time for raids because of constant meetings.
Moreover, the rebellion of Fu Qiutao's deputy, Zhao Lingbo, made the situation worse, but he never expected to get the help of the Jianghu Gang: the Qing Gang to break through the siege. After a fierce battle, Fu Qiutao divided the troops into small groups, and the small detachment of 10 people was scattered as a unit to break through. On the way, they disguised themselves as villagers and finally rendezvoused with the large troops of the New Fourth Army.
The Green Gang took the shot
What is unexpected is that fu Qiutao and others were on their way to escape, not only receiving help from their fellow villagers, but also from the jianghu gang! It can be seen that the Communist Party is the hope of the people. At that time, the Kuomintang search was not vegetarian, they were once interrogated by Kuomintang agents, and it was the people and horses of the Green Gang who came to the rescue at the first moment of the attack, and this person was not small, and he was a disciple of the leader Chen Yugeng.
It was thanks to the help of the Green Gang and the wise leadership of Fu Qiutao that the troops were able to survive in a desperate situation!
However, the blow of the Anhui Incident never made Fu Qiutao collapse, but on the contrary aroused his fighting spirit and vigorously threw himself into revolutionary work! Fu Qiutao, who was reborn in Nirvana, has successively held important positions and shined in important wars such as the Battle of Huaihai and the Battle of Crossing the River! Fu Qiutao and his wife were both awarded the rank of general in 1955, becoming the Six Star House! The regimental commanders of the two regiments that broke out with him were finally unscathed, and like him, they made indelible contributions to the subsequent war, and they made great achievements in the southern conquest and the northern war, and after the founding of New China, they were awarded the "Founding Major General", and then they also made contributions to the new China to the best of their ability!
