On the long revolutionary road of the Communist Party, countless brilliant people of good will were born, some of whom were highly talented and highly skilled, who studied Marxism-Leninism and pointed out the way forward for the party's advance, while others were invincible and invincible, leading the fighters to be invincible and invincible.
They are all outstanding talents who are unique in our party, and such people either became generals and sat on the side of the people after the founding of New China, or they held high positions to work for the people.
But in the course of several decades of revolutionary struggle, countless revolutionary pioneers who could have made great achievements fell under the guns of the enemy, and they used their flesh and blood to pave a broad road for the party and the army, and their sacrifice was an irreparable and heavy loss for the entire Chinese people.
Today I would like to introduce such a revolutionary fighter who died young, his name is Chen Haisong.
He lost his mother at an early age and joined the Red Army despite his father's objections
In 1914, at the foot of an unknown mountain in Henan, a peasant family ushered in the birth of a new life, he was Chen Haisong, a loyal soldier of our army.
Due to poor medical conditions, Chen Haisong's mother fell seriously ill shortly after giving birth to him, and within a few years, she left her young son to die.
Chen Haisong's father was an authentic farmer, busy with farm work every day after his wife's death, working day and night to survive, and did not have time to take care of his young son.
Fortunately, Chen Haisong's aunt took great care of this child who was not loved by his mother, and often took him to her own home and took care of him as if he were her own child. When Chen Haisong grew up, it was his aunt who sent him to the academy to study.
But Chen Haisong's family was very poor, and after just a few years, the family could not continue to provide Chen Haisong's education, so Chen Haisong had to return home to help his father work as a farmer for a living.
At that time, most of China's land was controlled by local rich men and warlords, who brutally exploited and suppressed the lower working people, and just when Chen Haisong's family was almost unable to maintain their livelihood, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army came to Chen Haisong's hometown and downrooted many local landlords.
Chen Haisong was very eager for these revolutionary fighters who were bent on helping the poor and poor, and he actively participated in the boy scout regiment organized by the local Red Army, actively carried out the revolutionary struggle under the leadership of the party organization, and soon became a brigade leader with good performance.
After a period of revolutionary work, Chen Haisong strengthened his determination to join the Red Army to carry out the revolution, so when the Red Army was about to start the transfer, Chen Haisong told his family to follow the revolutionary team.
Chen Haisong's father was greatly shocked, he was worried that his son would be in danger of losing his life in the army, and resolutely disagreed with Chen Haisong's participation in the Red Army.
But Chen Haisong had already made preparations, and he quietly left home on a dark night and officially joined the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
Become the boss of the old leader
After joining the revolution, Chen Haisong began
Just as a service soldier by Xu Shiyou's side,
Because he and Xu Shiyou lived day and night, Xu Shiyou often talked to him about some knowledge of platooning.
Unexpectedly, after a short period of getting along, Xu Shiyou found that the young man next to him had an extraordinary talent for fighting a war, he not only had a superb memory, was familiar with the terrain of the battlefield, and often gave an example in the conversation with Xu Shiyou and came up with some unique tactics.
Xu Shiyou greatly appreciated the small service soldier around him, and took him with him every time he fought, passing on all his life's learning to Chen Haisong. And Chen Haisong also lived up to high expectations, and was repeatedly made meritorious by an ordinary soldier.
In just a few years, he was promoted to a regimental political commissar under Xu Shiyou.
However, just as Chen Haisong was preparing to make a big show of his fists in the revolutionary ranks, he was slandered by Zhang Guotao, who beat Chen Haisong as a traitor at a meeting and used his power to prepare to execute him.
Fortunately, Chen Haisong's military commander at the time tried his best to save him, and Chen Haisong escaped from death, but he was also expelled from the party.
Chen Haisong was not knocked down by this setback, he decided to start from scratch, after rejoining the troops, Chen Haisong fought bravely, charging forward in every battle, in the Battle of the Double Bridge, Chen Haisong took the lead in charging, killing a platoon leader and several enemies of the enemy army, and successfully defeated the enemy.
Chen Haisong was also hit in the abdomen by a bullet during the battle and had to be sent to the hospital for treatment, and after recovering, Chen Haisong successively served as the leader of the propaganda team, the company instructor, and the political commissar of the regiment.
In 1933, Chen Haisong's Fourth Army was besieged by the enemy in many ways, and the future was in danger, Chen Haisong was appointed as the political commissar of the Fifteenth Division, and what he did not expect was that the commander of the Fifteenth Division at this time was Xu Shiyou, and the former superiors and subordinates had now become partners fighting side by side.
Chen Haisong and Xu Shiyou showed amazing tacit understanding when commanding the battle, and because a large part of Chen Haisong's military knowledge was taught by Xu Shiyou, their working styles were very close.
With the close cooperation of the two men, the combat effectiveness of the Fifteenth Division was significantly improved, and the soldiers maintained high morale in each battle, beating the warlord Deng Xihou who was involved in the encirclement and suppression at that time.
In 1935, Chen Haisong led his troops to engage Deng Xihou in a large-scale battle, which was the famous forced crossing of the Jialing River in history.
In this battle, Chen Haisong gave full play to his command talent, took advantage of the fact that the enemy army was not prepared, led the fighters to launch a fierce attack, and immediately broke the enemy's formation, and almost caught Deng Xihou himself, thus hitting the Red Army's famous name in the southwest.
And Chen Haisong also made great contributions to the neutrality of this battle,
He was promoted by the Party Central Committee to the position of military political commissar
，
At this time, Xu Shiyou's position was deputy commander
。
Just four years later, Chen Haisong was promoted from a warrior under Xu Shiyou to his superior, which made people have to lament the wonder of fate.
Died young, heroic sacrifice
It was such a precious talent with extraordinary military talent, but he did not live to see the final victory of the revolution.
In 1937, Chen Haisong was ambushed by enemy cavalry when he led his troops to camp, at this time Chen Haisong was surrounded by only a dozen guards, and he led his soldiers to fight to the death in order to cover the retreat of the organs, and repeatedly repelled the enemy's attacks.
But just as he was about to come out to observe the terrain, the enemy's bullets suddenly came, and Chen Haisong was shot several times in the body and died heroically, at this time he was only 23 years old.
brief summary:
Chen Haisong, as an outstanding military commander of our army, has made immortal meritorious contributions in several battles, and his sacrifice is a major loss to our party, and Zhu De once sighed: "Chen Haisong is an outstanding military cadre of our army, and if he is still alive, he will certainly play a greater role." ”
The world is uncertain, and what we can do is to remember these martyrs who gave their lives for the party and the country and forge ahead.
