The modern history of our country is humiliating, foreign powers with the help of strong ships and cannons to open our closed doors, but also tear up the blind arrogance of feudal rulers, the following decades feudal rulers still do not try to advance, lost themselves in the wine pond meat forest, China is also weakening more and more. Over time, the Reformation gave the patriots the direction that the feudal dynasty must be overthrown in order to make our own home country strong.
After decades of planning, Dr. Sun Yat-sen finally overthrew this feudal dynasty, originally thought that the next is the arrival of light, but in fact it is the beginning of chaos, chaos surging with disorder, the old saying is good: long will be united, long time will be divided, this chaos is the prelude to great unification. After the warlords were in turmoil, the country was in turmoil, and the imperialist powers came to kick in from time to time, and the land was instantly set off by a bloody storm. In 1921, the Communist Party of China was founded, announcing the beginning of groundbreaking changes in China's modern history, and after countless years of struggle, our Party won the victory of the revolution. At that moment, the heartache of decades of searching up and down and the raising of the five-star red flag in front of Tiananmen Square left countless people in tears.
Among the countless heroic ancestors of the founding of the country, Xu Xiangqian definitely has a place, he is peaceful and close, low-key, does not like to show off, as if like an ordinary person, washed away the lead, sharp and introverted, and is affectionately called "Marshal of Cloth" by the people.
Xu Xiangqian was born in 1901 in a poor rural area in Shanxi, when the Qing government and the Eight-Power Alliance signed the "Xinugu Treaty", in order to maintain their rule, the Qing government can be described as mad. At that time, the contradictions at the bottom of China were sharp, the contradictions between the people and the landlords were becoming more and more prominent, and countless poor people were exploited by the landlords. Xu Xiangqian's father was a talent in the late Qing Dynasty, and his mother was a Buddhist believer who was very kind, and these characteristics of his parents had a great influence on Xu Xiangqian. After the Xinhai Revolution, there was a new type of education, and Xu Xiangqian also received new ideas. After reading books for several years, the family was too poor to drop out of school to become an apprentice, making money to subsidize the family.
Although Xu Xiangqian went to become an apprentice, he also received many new ideas at this time, and he very much wanted to change this chaotic and disorderly society and give the people a peaceful and prosperous life. After that, he was admitted to the Normal University, where he was exposed to unprecedented knowledge, and all kinds of new ideas frantically entered his head, and at this moment he had the intention of serving the country. During the first kuomintang-communist cooperation period, the Whampoa Military Academy was established, and Xu Xiangqian became the first batch of cadets to enter it to study, and the study at the Whampoa Military Academy provided systematic guidance for him to lead troops to fight in the future, laying a solid foundation.
After the defeat of the Northern Expedition, the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists broke down, and Xu Xiangqian, who was in the Kuomintang army at that time, realized more and more that the Kuomintang and the warlords were no different, they were all for the sake of interests, not for the sake of the country and the people at all. These selfish acts of the Kuomintang became more and more convinced that he was right to leave, and he did not hesitate to join the communist camp.
In the subsequent Kuomintang anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, Xu Qiangqian commanded our soldiers to smash the Kuomintang's encirclement and suppression of our party many times, because of his outstanding command, our army defeated the Kuomintang army many times, which made the Kuomintang generals have a headache for Xu Xiangqian. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xu Xiangqian was elected as a member of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the CPC Central Committee, serving as the deputy commander of the 129th Division, and then led a large army into Hebei to create a revolutionary base area. Xu Xiangqian was very aware that the enemy was strong and we were weak, so he always fought guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army, and through hard work, he annihilated more than 7,000 Japanese puppet troops and struck a blow at the arrogance of the Japanese army.
During the Liberation War, Xu Xiangqian commanded the Battle of Linfen to conquer the so-called tank city of Linfen, annihilated more than 100,000 Kuomintang troops with 60,000 troops, and used the strangeness of the troops to confuse the commanders of the Kuomintang troops.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Xiangqian served as vice chairman of the National Defense Commission, and was later awarded the rank of marshal in 1955. Although General Xu Qianqian had such glory, he was still hard and simple, never extravagant and wasteful, and was no different from his previous life. Marshal Xu Qianqian was still particularly low-key, and the marshal obedience did not see him take it out and wear, and he kept it in the box. General Xu Qianqian has served the country and the people all his life, and has not changed his original intention, and his decades are like the beginning of a child. We also have to talk about Xu Xiaoyan, the son of Marshal Xu Qianqian, Xu Xiaoyan, who engaged in the study of china's scientific and technological armament, returned from studying with the support of his father, researched the first generation of military computers for china, and made great contributions to the cause of modern national defense.
