For soldiers, the most important thing is not the ability to command the battle and the natural combat effectiveness, if you want to survive on the battlefield, vigilance and sensitivity to the danger are absolutely indispensable. If you want to become a famous general, first of all, you must survive, don't just join the revolution, only to die in the charge as soon as you go to the battlefield, then in the end it is only recorded that so-and-so years, months, and days, so-and-so soldiers died heroically, and even the troops did not know that such a person had ever existed. Therefore, among the founding generals of new China, those who can live to be awarded titles and awards are extraordinary, and they all have extremely high vigilance and insight.
Among the founding generals of New China, the first person to talk about vigilance is definitely None other than Xu Shiyou. On the surface, he is rough and uninhibited, but in fact, he is very vigilant in life, and even after the founding of the country, he has not relaxed for a moment, and he has never left his gun for a lifetime, and when he is dying, he also has a gun under his pillow. Even after the founding of the country, he did not completely relax, and this habit did not change until his death.
Xu Shiyou served as the commander of the Shandong Military Region after the founding of the People's Republic of China, living in the barracks compound not far from the barracks, where dozens of armed guards with real guns and live ammunition patrolled inside and outside the door, and there were multiple checkpoints at the door, and strangers could not enter at all. However, Xu Shiyou was still uneasy about this, and often personally inspected the work of the patrol guard unit, changing the patrol route and defense arrangement for them regularly. Not only that, Xu Shiyou also formulated some special codes with his subordinates, which only insiders could understand. The code is very delicate, not only the verbal response, but also the number of honking, flash patterns and other terrible details. So even if the enemy knows the content of the slogan, but he does not know the rules of the vehicle, he will be detected instantly.
And what is even more surprising is that Xu Shiyou also made a unique secret code deployment on the knock, and different people knocked in different ways. He could even tell from the knock at the door whether a person was a person inside his military district or an outsider.
The vigilance of a soldier is innate, but reaching the level of Xu Shiyou, it is a bit crazy, why is he so grassy and a soldier? In fact, it is related to his life experience.
Xu Shiyou studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple when he was young, and the training content of the Shaolin Temple is not only fist and foot kung fu, but also the body's instinctive response to form muscle memory, so as to achieve a world-class master. When Xu Shiyou learned art, he had practiced the most absolute "sleeping pile exercises", and the people here did not sleep on the bed, nor did they sleep on the ground, but slept on three wooden stakes, and the gap between them was not small, and only in the state of complete tension of the body, it was not easy to fall. This mode of sleeping unconsciously enhances their vigilance, although people can also fall asleep, but as long as there is a little noise can immediately meet the battle in the most mental state, Xu Shiyou's habit is formed in this way.
Don't look at Xu Shiyou's vigilance in peacetime, but during the revolutionary War of Resistance, he was repeatedly rescued from danger. For example, when leading the troops to garrison the village, he never chose the center area that was safe and backward, but lived on the far edge of the village with the troops. In this way, even if danger comes, it can react quickly, it is easiest to break through, and it will not be encircled and suppressed in despair.
Xu Shiyou's style of behavior also greatly affected the troops he led, so his troops in the army have always been known for their high vigilance and strong mobility, and they have made miracles many times, are best at ambushing surprise attacks, participated in many major battles, and are one of the most troublesome and powerful troops of the enemy.
It turns out that Xu Shiyou has participated in the death squad 7 times and served as the captain of the big knife death squad 5 times. In the end, he was able to become one of the 57 founding generals because he had a unique advantage that ordinary people could not reach, and this advantage also made him one of the best revolutionary fighters in the country.
