In the face of a roar from the gun-muzzle major general, the enemy sentry obediently surrendered his gun and ordered the disbandment of the guard platoon afterwards
The founding generals were experienced in hundreds of battles, most of them were bold, and in the face of dangerous situations, they were always able to stay in danger. A founding major general faced the enemy's gun muzzle and roared with rage, frightening the enemy sentry into obediently surrendering his gun, and afterwards he ordered the disbandment of the guard platoon. The founding major general was General Xiao Yongyin.
Xiao Yongyin, born in June 1917, a native of Xinxian County, Henan Province, his mother died prematurely, and his father Xiao Zhixue participated in the revolution and was mistakenly killed in the expansion of the "purge". Xiao Yongyin grew up herding cattle, attended primary school for a year, joined the children's regiment, served as a captain, and joined the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in April 1930.
During the agrarian revolutionary war, Xiao Yongyin served as a serviceman, squad leader, platoon leader and other positions in the Red Army, and participated in the Long March of the Red Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as a company commander, battalion commander, regimental commander, and deputy commander of the eighth route army. During the Liberation War, he served as a brigade commander, deputy commander of the column, and deputy commander.
In 1949, Xiao Yongyin was appointed deputy commander of the Twelfth Army of the Third Corps of the Second Field Army. After the Battle of Crossing the River, he led his troops to the southwest and commanded his troops to go straight out of eastern Sichuan to liberate Chongqing, of which the 35th and 36th Divisions detoured back to Chongqing from the west from Baishadu and Jiangjin to attack the rear of Chongqing.
Xiao Yongyin led You Taizhong's 34th Division as the second echelon to successfully cross the Qijiang River and prepare for a big battle. On this day, Xiao Yongyin and Li Zhen, deputy political commissar of the 12th Army, led some military staff members to the front of the 34th Division and continued to march toward Chongqing. There is a guard platoon in their entourage responsible for protecting them.
Xiao Yongyin strode towards the meteor and walked at the front of the line, with Li Zhen in second place. Suddenly, the sound of a gun bolt being pulled in front of me was heard, and then someone shouted, "Which part of you are?" Xiao Yongyin looked up and saw that 10 meters in front of him, the gun of a nationalist sentry in the bushes on the side of the road was facing him.
The soldiers in the guard platoon were all stunned, and no one dared to move, for fear that as soon as the enemy sentry pulled the trigger, the deputy commander would be finished. At the critical moment, Xiao Yongyin's reaction surprised everyone, and he suddenly pointed forward like a lion and shouted, "You give Lao Tzu a gun!" The enemy sentry was frightened and confused, and the hand carrying the gun immediately shook, as if it had been lit without moving, and the guard took the opportunity to rush up and surrender his gun.
It was later learned that there was still an enemy regiment on the front beam. Deputy Commander Xiao Yongyin ordered majestically: "Go back and ask your regimental commander to come and hand over your guns!" This little sentry really did not dare to be idle, and "ding dong dong" trotted to the mountain beam to "ask the regimental commander to hand over his gun." Xiao Yongyin turned around and retreated with the guard platoon, and soon encountered the 34th Division led by You Taizhong, relieving the danger. Deputy Commander Xiao Yongyin angrily said to Commander You Taizhong, "Today I almost became a prisoner, and when I encountered the enemy, I didn't pounce on it like a tiger. ”。 After the liberation of Chongqing, General Xiao Yongyin really disbanded the guard platoon.
