preface
David once said: Adversity is the wave that overturns the boat of life of the weak; it is also a furnace for tempering the iron will of the strong. Being in turmoil is a lifelong disaster for the fallen, but it is the best opportunity for the talented. In the cold winter of the beacon fire, smoke, smoke and cold wind, there is such a group of soldiers who hold long guns in the wind and rain and wear armor to fight, they will drunkenly sing the luxury of life geometry as if they were walking behind, and point out the country and mountains under an order on the battlefield, thus benefiting several generations. Chen Haisong was one of them, he was born and raised in the bloody storm, trained the will of steel under the blood of war, and when he was a 16-year-old green onion boy, he was in the same boat with the revolutionary cause, emerging among the huge soldiers, showing super military talent, from an ordinary peasant boy to the youngest commander in the military command.
01
Chen Haisong was born in 1914 in a small village in Huangzhan Town, Henan Province, which was also a fulcrum of the anti-Japanese guerrilla base area. Perhaps with the support of the Red Army, the villagers, although living in the depths of the water, have more energy than in the previous days when they had no thoughts and no hope. And the pippi boys living in the village are even more mischievous and mischievous in the mountains and rivers. Chen Haisong is the famous child king of Huangzhan Town, because he is good at observing the words and deeds of adults, speaking in all directions, and always winning when playing war games, and the children around him are very convinced of him.
After growing up a little, because of the subtle influence, the children all have a strong admiration for the soldiers of the Red Army, including Chen Haisong. Smart and decisive, he deservedly became the leader of the children's regiment. But this is only a game between children after all, Chen Haisong wants to follow the Red Army, follow them to the battlefield to kill the enemy as a hero, although this is only the immature dream of a young man, but left a fiery seed in his heart, so he made a request to his father, hoping to join the Red Army. His father was just an old peasant of the feudal tradition, believing that although life was a little hard, passing on the generations was a major event for the ancestors, naturally refused to agree, and also locked Chen Haisong in a small black house to find him a child bride. A few days ago, Chen Haisong naturally cried and made Sun Wukong make a big fuss in the sky, making the family restless. But then he came back to god and came up with a way to pretend to be obedient and obedient, willing to work in the field to reduce the burden on the family. His father believed him, so he let down his vigilance, who knew that one day at noon, there was no shadow of Chen Haisong in the field, only a hoe was stuck alone in the ground.

In 1930, shortly after Chen Haisong joined the Red Army, because of his cleverness, he was arranged to be the service soldier of the regimental commander Xu Shiyou, who was also a Hubei native, and was later awarded the rank of general because of his meritorious service in the revolutionary cause. If Xu Shiyou is Bole, then Chen Haisong is definitely a free-range thousand-mile horse. Whenever there was a wartime discussion, at first Chen Haisong just stood and listened, but after a while, Xu Shiyou overheard his conversation with other servicemen, and found that this boy had a very keen insight into the war situation and was a good seedling who could lead the troops to fight.
But to cultivate excellent talents, he must let him learn in many ways, especially Chen Haisong's growth background, he did not have much military knowledge. Xu Shiyou came up with a good idea to transfer Chen Haisong to the propaganda department, and if his comprehension ability was good enough, he would learn a lot of military theories in the communication and cooperation of other combat departments. Chen Haisong is very clever, not only has an amazing memory, can remember nearly a thousand names of every soldier and superior around him, and can also recite all kinds of armament materials backwards. More importantly, he was good at analyzing cases, not only self-taught, but also able to speak the simplest vernacular to the soldiers. Soon, Chen Haisong's excellent communication, learning, and analysis skills made him stand out among grass-roots soldiers, and his position changed from a small service soldier to a propaganda captain, instructor, commander and other positions.

Because of a dangerous order, Chen Haisong, who was the commander of the battalion, led the entire staff and the entire five regiments of the enemy army in a closed encirclement to launch a long and arduous battle, and the disparity between the enemy and us was very different, but Chen Haisong's super strong military combat ability was brought into play, and they could not help but hold the position and beat the enemy army to the point of fleeing one after another. This battle made Chen Haisong's name completely start, because of a work transfer, Chen Haisong, who was the political commissar, and Xu Shiyou, the top boss of three years ago, met at the meeting, Xu Shiyou was very pleased, but also surprised by the speed of this young man's growth.
In 1934, Chen Haisong made great achievements with excellent military leadership ability and was promoted to military political commissar of the Red Ninth Army, and at this time Xu Shiyou also became the deputy commander of the army, but half a rank lower than Chen Haisong. From Xu Shiyou's service soldier to his boss, Chen Haisong only took four years, and the speed of growth was very rare.
At the 1955 ceremony, Xu Shiyou was awarded the rank of general of the People's Liberation Army, and if Chen Haisong could survive the war, his achievements might be no less than that of General Xu Shiyou. Unfortunately, in 1937, he was tragically killed in a battle at the age of 23.
epilogue
Chen Haisong's road to success may have the wisdom of others, the teaching and help of the people around him, but more is where his personal efforts and talents lie, and his deeds also prove that as long as there is a person with light, no matter where he is, he will bloom with brilliant light.
