After the release of the film and television work "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", it did set off a wave of heated discussion, and also let us see the sacrifices made by the old revolutionary predecessors in the process of revolutionary struggle, as well as their superior military vision. The main context of this film and television work is what happened on the eve of the Battle of Crossing the River, the main line revolves around the guerrillas in Jiangnan, in order to be able to cover the various actions made by the People's Liberation Army to cross the river, and the protagonist of this matter is General Xiong Zhaoren.
When it comes to Xiong Zhaoren, I believe that everyone is not unfamiliar at all, this is indeed a founding veteran general. And his life is full of all kinds of magical colors. When they were all 90 years old, they still cared about the old district as always, and once personally went to this place in Beijing to see how the railway was built and contributed their own meager strength to the motherland. The general's life path is also extremely bumpy, living in difficult years and years, he finally wrote a legendary life with perseverance.
In 1912, Xiong Zhaoren was born in Yongding, Fujian Province, and then at the age of 13, he seized an opportunity to study at Yuxiu Academy and Shanghu Public School, and Xiahu Public School. It was during his studies that Xiong Zhaoren came into contact with Marxism and was influenced by It. Although he is still relatively young, the relevant ideas of Marxism have long been deeply imprinted in his mind. From that time on, he vowed to devote himself to the cause of the revolution, even if he gave his life. After the seeds of the revolutionary cause were planted in his heart, at the age of 16 he finally realized his long-cherished wish, that is, to join the revolution and become a Red Army soldier at the age of 17.
By his efforts, he reached the period of the agrarian revolution, and he had become a platoon leader, and although this official position was not large, every step of the road was particularly arduous, but each step was also particularly firm. No one expected that after the 5th anti-encirclement and suppression struggle came to an end, the Central Red Army, which had failed in defeat, was facing a more urgent problem at this time, that is, the Long March. Although he did not participate in the Long March at that time, he did not put aside the revolutionary cause, but at this time went to the south to participate in guerrilla warfare. In October 1934, the large army began the pace of the Long March, and at this time he turned to the south, becoming a guerrilla who dared to fight and dare to break through, and also pinned down the enemy's rear.
It was not until 1937 that the War of Resistance Against Japan had broken out in full swing, and with the sound of the trumpet, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and our Party had once again begun, and the Red Army at that time had also carried out corresponding rectification. The Red Army had a new title, called the Eighth Route Army, and these guerrillas who wandered in the south were also reorganized and called the New Fourth Army. Hong Zhaoren was in the team of the New Fourth Army at that time, and at that time he also served as a company commander. In the course of the confrontation between the two sides, Xiong Zhaoren once became a political commissar and led the special service battalion of the New Fourth Army. In fact, he still held more positions, such as the positions of regimental political commissar and deputy commander, which were all brilliant that he had written down.
However, when the Battle of The Crossing River was about to break out, many people were faced with a huge problem. At that time, He Minxue served as deputy commander and chief of staff of the 27th Army. In order to increase the odds of victory in battle, one of the things that had to be done at that time was to let the troops train on the water, and in the process of training troops, he had an idea, if he wanted to successfully cross the river, what he had to do now was to first overcome, how to successfully cross the Yangtze River. When this difficult problem is in front of us, it is indeed particularly difficult for the PLA. Just like in the process of marching and fighting, knowing oneself and knowing the other can win every battle, just like when the prelude to the war has not yet begun, if you want to win and have an advantage, the most important thing is intelligence, and if you want to get information, you must cross the river.
So the most fundamental factor of the problem finally returned to the details of the river crossing. He Minxue made all kinds of conjectures and assumptions at that time, and put forward the idea of cultivating a reconnaissance team. And this reconnaissance detachment, the responsibility on the shoulders is to take the lead in crossing the river and obtaining intelligence, followed by going deep into the region. For example, grasping the distribution status of some regions and corresponding data can achieve an effect of combining the inside and the outside. If we can really achieve the combination of the inside and the outside, then the odds of winning the war will be greatly improved.

There were also particularly harsh requirements for the members of this reconnaissance squad, although this was only speculation, but when Hermione introduced it, it was indeed opposed by many people, and few people supported it. In the face of these supporters He Minxue did not give up at all, but instead organized such a small detachment, most people think that if there are a lot of people sent out, it is easy to expose the target, if there are relatively few people sent out, there is no way to deal with it, and such a large number of Kuomintang troops will be completely destroyed if they are not careful. In fact, for everyone's doubts, He Minxue can also think of it, and He Minxue also knows that it is indeed particularly risky to do so, but in order to be able to obtain intelligence, in order to be able to get first-hand information, it is also necessary to take this risk. And we also think that as long as we do the preparatory work sufficiently, as long as we can concentrate on the polar details and nuances, even in dangerous situations, we can easily defuse.
Although there were few people in the army who supported it, in order to gain everyone's approval, He Minxue still selected a few people at that time and formed a small team to let them cross the river according to their own command strategy. In the end, these people successfully completed the task and also pulled back greens and leeks from the land where the Kuomintang troops were stationed. It was precisely after such a move reached the ears of the military commander Nie Fengzhi that the matter ushered in a new turning point, because he recognized and supported Hermione, and because of this, Hermione was greatly encouraged, and several troops were sent out in a company.
Although it is impossible for the troops sent out to come back intact every time, just as some soldiers have lost their way in the river, or after encountering a big wave, the boat has directly overturned. But fortunately, the success rate of such a squad is still relatively high, and it can reach 80%. This was such a chance of victory, so that He Minxue also thought that in fact, the chances of success in reconnaissance activities were still relatively high, so they were happy to try tirelessly, and with the support of Nie Fengzhi, they successively set up backbone units, that is, backbone reconnaissance squads, and the number of soldiers in this reconnaissance squad had reached more than 300 people. One might wonder what the signal of their joint is?
In fact, Xiong Zhaoren's position at that time was the position of commander of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Anhui Border Region, and when he saw that the People's Liberation Army had already sent out three signal bombs, he also ordered people to light three piles of raging fires. After such a sign appears, it means that the reception is successful. This is such a move, which also adds a lot of legendary color to his life. I have to sigh that the efforts made by the revolutionary predecessors at that time were indeed exchanging their own blood and lives for peace. Therefore, after the founding of New China, in 1955, he was awarded the rank of major general, and he also received many medals such as the August 1st Medal or the Liberation Medal of the First Class.
After ushering in the opening up, it is reasonable to say that the old man can live a worry-free life, but the old general still does not forget China's development. In 1983, he also joined forces with more than a dozen veteran generals and old Red Army to write letters to the relevant departments, and it was precisely under their efforts that the Cotton Beach Hydropower Station and the corresponding railway were built one after another. It can be seen from here that the old general has been fighting on horseback all his life, even if he has come to the era of peace, but he has never really enjoyed the peaceful life he fought before. On the contrary, he has devoted all his energy to the development of the motherland without reservation, and is vigorously promoting the prosperity of the motherland. He has been thinking about the old district all his life, so the people of the old district are also particularly grateful to the general. Because of this, the veteran general also has a well-known title called "General of Poverty Alleviation".
In fact, after reading the life history of this old general, many people will feel that their noses are sour. When he was young, he devoted his life to the revolutionary cause, and after ushering in liberation and ushering in the era of peace, he should have rested and recuperated, and he should have gone to enjoy his old age in peace, but he still thought of the people. This is how it went, went through a century, wrote a 107-year-old life, and passed away in 2019. At the time of his death, there were countless people in the old district who shed tears for him, and everyone meditated in their hearts and prayed for him in their hearts. In the body of this old general, we also see the true portrayal of patriotism, and also let us see how the old revolutionary predecessors showed the patriotic practices in their hearts, without any idea of fame and fortune at all, nor at all utilitarianism, but to work hard for this tenacious belief in their hearts. It is their efforts that pave a sunny road for our descendants, and it is their firm belief that allows us to live in a peaceful and prosperous world.
