General Chen Geng believes that everyone is more familiar with it, is a famous military genius of our army, is the second general among the generals who can fight, and naturally there are many tough generals in his hands, such as: Zhou Xihan, Li Chengfang, Chen Kang, and Zha Yusheng were all first-class and first-class generals at that time, and to say that the fiercest general was definitely General Zhou Xihan, who broke a record in the Liberation War, and all the generals could not compare.
Today, Xiaobian will introduce you to the wonderful life of General Zhou Xihan.
Zhou Xihan, a native of Zhoujia'ao Village, Shunhe Town, Macheng City, Hubei Province, joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in 1928, and Zhou Xihan could hardly associate him with the tough general from his appearance, he was tall but very thin, as if if he could be blown away if there was a strong wind. Therefore, Zhou Xihan also called himself "the thinnest in the world".
Zhou Xihan was "thin" but on the battlefield he played the prestige of Zhao Zilong in the army, which also started from Yangerling in the War of Resistance, when Liu Shuai sent the main force to fight with the enemy, leaving only a guard battalion around him, and at this time Yangerling was about to be occupied by the Japanese army, and Liu Shuai had no troops to adjust in his hands, and he was anxious to stomp his feet, at this time Zhou Xihan led the army to fall from the sky, and the Japanese army was on fire, Liu Shuai said happily, Zhao Zilong came, and since then Zhao Zilong's prestige has spread in the army.
In the later Liberation War, Zhou Xihan broke a record, which was compared to all the generals and lieutenant generals, that is, the one who captured the most generals of the Nationalist Army, and after the end of the war, the number of enemy troops reached 61, including Huang Zhengcheng, Wu Tinglin, Qiu Xingxiang and others.
At the beginning of the Liberation War, Zhou Xihan engaged the most elite unit of the Nationalist Army with the world's first brigade, Chen Geng, who had a high level of military command art, plus the fierce general Zhou Xihan on the battlefield, and soon Zhou Xihan and Huang Zhengcheng's vanguard troops exchanged fire, although their weapons and equipment were superior to our army, but the individual combat ability was not the opponent of our army, and they were crushed by Zhou Xihan after several battles.
Later, Huang Zhengcheng commanded his 28th, 29th, and 30th regiments to fight against Zhou Xihan's troops, and after a night of fighting, Huang Zhengcheng's "First Brigade under Heaven" was completely destroyed, and the brigade commander Huang Zhengcheng was also defeated and captured. But the Zhou Xihan ministry also sacrificed a lot.
After that, Zhou Xihan participated in the Battle of Huaihai, and together with his brother troops in the battle, he surrounded and annihilated the Huang Wei Corps, and it should be known that the Huang Wei Corps was strong and strong, all of them were American equipment, plus the 18th Army under the corps was known as the ace army, which was Chen Cheng's starting unit.
At this time, Zhou Xihan was ordered to attack the enemy's 14th Army at Yang Weizi, and the commander of the army, Xiong Shouchun, was also a student of Chiang Kai-shek, well-equipped and capable of fighting, but under Zhou Xihan's strong attack, he finally reduced the 14th Army to a small village, but at this time Xiong Shouchun still refused to surrender.
Later, Zhou Xihan adopted the "trench tactic" to dig trenches from all directions, approaching step by step, and finally reaching the total annihilation of the 14th Army. After that, Zhou Xihan led his troops to participate in the battles of Zhongshan and Dongju Jinpu, which can be described as a series of victories.
It can be said that Zhou Xihan made a major contribution to the task of annihilating the Huang Wei Corps, and even Chen Geng said that this boy always made a big move at a critical moment. This is enough to prove that Zhou Xihan's combat ability is strong.
Later, after the end of the Liberation War, Zhou Xihan broke a record, killing a total of 64 officers of the general rank of the nationalist army. This record is incomparable to that of all generals, and the number of captured enemy lieutenant officers and their bandits is innumerable.
