Yang Dezhi, born into a wealthy family, made the decision to change his fate in turbulent times. His father was a blacksmith and, despite his good trades, made a living under pressure. In order to reduce the burden on his family, Yang Dezhi, who was only a teenager, decided to go to the Anyuan coal mine and began a career as a worker. However, his life has since changed dramatically.
While working in the coal mines, Yang Dezhi came into contact with trade union propaganda, and the flame of revolution ignited in his heart. At the age of 17, he responded to the call of the revolution, resolutely participated in the Hunan Uprising, and since then embarked on the road of revolution. Yang Dezhi showed outstanding military talent and soon became one of the young generals in the Red Army.
However, Yang Dezhi is not the only young general who is rising as fast as he is. In the ranks of the Red Army, there were many young officers who also performed well, and one of the old superiors who cooperated with Yang Dezhi made a deep impression on him.
In 1932, Yang Dezhi was transferred to the Red 45th Division, and he had long heard that the division commander was young and promising, and was an outstanding young cadre. However, when he reported to the division commander, the figure of the other party was very different from what he thought. That division commander was Xun Huaizhou, a young man who was not tall.
Yang Dezhi entered the division commander's office and saw Xun Huaizhou sitting there and writing something with his head immersed. Yang Dezhi was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help muttering: "Is this the division commander?" How is it so different from the image I have in mind? However, Xun Huaizhou's kindness and humor immediately shattered this doubt. He greeted Yang Dezhi with a smile and called him "Chief Yang".
They sat down to talk, and Xun Huaizhou told Yang Dezhi that although he was not tall, he was not easy to be detected by the enemy on the battlefield and was not easy to be shot. These words made Yang Dezhi feel gratified, and he gradually realized that although Xun Huaizhou was short, he was an outstanding leader.
Xun Huaizhou, a native of Liuyang, Hunan Province, suffered from poverty in his childhood, but this hard life tempered his tenacity and intelligence. He participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising at the age of 15 and, despite his young age, was very intelligent and soon rose from squad leader to platoon leader. He once single-handedly managed to sack a large local tycoon, and this story has become a good story.
Xun Huaizhou soon rose to prominence and made many achievements in the struggle against Jinggangshan, becoming one of the young leaders of the Red Army. His wit and bravery earned the respect of everyone on the battlefield. Over time, he was gradually promoted to regiment commander, then division commander.
After the Red Army experienced many anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations, Xun Huaizhou became the youngest corps commander in the history of the Red Army, only 21 years old. He made outstanding achievements in many battles, and was even awarded the Order of Lenin of the Second Class. His abilities and leadership skills were also recognized, and the military cadres who worked with him later became founding generals.
However, the Red Army faced a heavy challenge. In 1933, the Kuomintang army gathered a large number of troops and launched the fifth "encirclement and suppression", and the Soviet region fell into crisis. In order to reduce the pressure on the Soviet region, Xun Huaizhou led the Red Seventh Army to the north to resist the Japanese, attracting the attention of the enemy.
After months of fighting and chasing and blocking, they still achieved a series of victories under extremely difficult circumstances. However, these victories could not change the overall decline of the Soviet region. In the end, Xun Huaizhou died in the line of resistance at the age of 21, and his sacrifice was a major loss for the Red Army.
Xun Huaizhou's life is full of legends, he was an outstanding leader and military strategist, although his life was short, his courage and wisdom will always be remembered.
