The history inn has previously summarized the famous generals from the Whampoa Military Academy, especially the first six periods, famous generals, will be like clouds, but the second period is very strange, there are not many famous, especially the founding generals of our army, almost none.
In fact, it is not that there is none, but that he died early in the revolution, such as Lu Deming, the commander-in-chief of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and Zhou Yiqun, the introducer of He Laozong, who joined the party, if there is no sacrifice, by 1955, he should be a marshal and a general.
Lu Deming we have introduced it before, let's talk about Zhou Yiqun today.
Zhou Yiqun was born in 1896 in Tongren City, Guizhou, and once traveled east to Japan to study political economy, if it developed normally, it is likely to enter politics, but Zhou Yiqun was not a thing in the pool after all, and in October 1924, he went south to Guangzhou, was admitted to the second phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and wrote a poem: "Waste books to learn swords and go to Yangcheng, only for Li Yuan to suffer bandits." Cut down the twenty-fourth history of contention, there is no white blade to kill Qin! ”
During his studies at the Whampoa Military Academy, Zhou Yiqun became acquainted with Zhou Enlai and became Zhou Enlai's right-hand man, who has been assisting Zhou Gong in his revolutionary work and is known as "a new star on Huangpu Island".
In July 1926, during the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, Zhou Yiqun served as the head of the propaganda team of the Political Department, and when the propaganda team passed through Changde, Hunan Province, he met With Mr. He Laozong, commander of the First Division of the Ninth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and introduced him as a confidant.
In fact, as early as a few years ago, when Boss He garrisoned Tongren, Zhou Yiqun, who returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, knew him, and this time they met again in Changde, and both of them were very happy, and Boss He repeatedly asked Zhou Yiqun to stay in the first division. After Zhou Yiqun asked the organization for instructions, he was transferred to the first division and became the director of the political department.
On the same day, the two of them talked for a long time until late at night, from the prospects of the revolution to the situation at home and abroad, but they were not addicted, and the next evening they talked in depth again.
Mr. He later recalled: "On the third day, I told Zhou Yiqun that I wanted to join the Communist Party and the reform troops. Zhou Yiqun replied that the Communist Party does not close its doors, and as long as the conditions are sufficient, someone will definitely look for you. ”
At the suggestion of Zhou Yiqun, Mr. He opened the First Division Political Seminar, with Zhou Yiqun as the director, and his relationship with Mr. He was closer in his work.
In June 1927, the 1st Division of the Ninth Army led by Mr. He was reorganized into the 20th Army, and Zhou Yiqun was still the director of his army's political department.
On August 1, the Nanchang Uprising broke out, and Zhou Yiqun, together with Boss He and Liu Bocheng, personally commanded the line of fire. After the rebel troops moved south, Zhou Yiqun led his troops to participate in the Battle of Ruijin. It was at this moment of war that Zhou Yiqun, as the introducer of Mr. He to join the party, held a solemn oath-taking ceremony for Mr. He at a simple school.
Later, Zhou Yiqun and General Manager He jointly waged armed struggle in the northwestern region of Hunan Province, opened up a number of guerrilla base areas in the areas of Honghu Lake, Bailu Lake, and Huarong Dongshan, and put forward the guerrilla tactics of "the enemy comes and I fly, the enemy goes to my home, the enemy runs more, and the enemy does less."
In July 1930, after the establishment of the Red Second Army, the commander of the regiment was General Manager He, the political commissar was Zhou Yiqun, and there was a division commander below, named Xu Guangda.
With Zhou Yiqun's seniority and merits, if you can live to 1955, what rank do you think should be awarded?
Unfortunately, in May 1931, zhou Yiqun was ambushed by Kuomintang troops while passing through the Jiajia Pavilion in Yueyang County, and died heroically at the age of 35.
Zhou Yiqun had been married once in his early years and had a son, but later they all died tragically, and his comrades-in-arms advised Zhou Yiqun to find another wife, but Zhou Yiqun refused every time, saying: "If the revolution is not successful, let's not talk about personal problems." ”
Zhou Yiqun, as an outstanding political worker, also left many famous sayings in the revolution, and today it is especially worth our study.
"A Communist Party member, at any time, must first think of everyone and the people."
"We don't hope that the people will remember us, that they will speak of us, that they will believe that communism will triumph!"
