【Introduction】:
Hey, speaking of the generals we named when we founded New China, the name Xu Guangda may not be the kind that comes out of his mouth, but the big war he fought in the War of Liberation is worth nagging. At the time of the Red Army, there were later days of fighting devils, although Xu Guangda was also a big official, compared to others, his reputation was not so loud.
He went to the Soviet Union to recuperate from his wounds, and waited until the anti-Japanese artillery fire was vigorous before coming back. So how did he get this rank of general? Don't worry, let's talk about it in depth.

山雨欲来,中央告急
Back in August 1947, in the northwest, our field army was thinking about how to take Yulin. This place, that's a hard bone, take it down, it means a lot. Zhong Song on the Kuomintang side, like a trick, came out of the desert, relieved the siege of Yulin, and wanted to join Liu Huan's team and give us two bread dumplings. This hand directly hung the safety of the central leadership on the cliff, and it was a troublesome thing to go back and forth.
There was no way out, and he carried it
At this time, Mr. Peng spoke, on the one hand, he wanted to trap Zhong Song, and on the other hand, he sent Xu Guangda and his third column out to stop Liu Jian and protect the central retreat. Xu Guangda took this job, and his heart was clear, this is not an ordinary battle, this is a major event that affects the overall situation and even the future of the country.
He led the team and ran to Dangchuan Temple in the middle of Wulongpu and Shajiadian without touching the ground, and before his ass was hot, Liu Ji's men and horses were pouring in like a tide.
The ruthlessness of "letting go".
Facing several times the enemy, and behind him was the roaring Jialu River, Xu Guangda knew that there was no way to retreat, so there was only to fight. He said to his brothers: "Even if the shells blow up in front of us, we can't move our nests!" These words sound simple, but they are more effective than anything else, and they pierce the heart.
Everyone understands in their hearts that this time it is a battle against the water, and if they don't win, they will have to sink to the bottom. So, when the land of the Sichuan Temple staged a fierce battle, Xu Guangda took his soldiers, like nails, to nail the enemy there.
Turning danger into safety, the true character of the general
In this battle, Xu Guangda and them, with their own flesh and blood, built an iron wall, not only to keep the victory of Shajiadian, but also to win the transfer of the central government like gold.
The battle of Shajiadian has become a watershed in the war situation in northern Shaanxi, and we have gone from being chased and beaten by others to being chased and beaten in turn, and the morale of the Northwest Field Army is rising up. Xu Guangda, he is the low-key hero behind this victory, and his name shines among the generals of the republic.
【Conclusion】:
Speaking of which, the doubt at the beginning, when the Red Army was fighting, when he was fighting devils, Xu Guangda was not a big official, and his merits were not the most conspicuous, why could he become a general? The answer lies in the War of Liberation, especially in the tough battle of Shajiadian.
This battle was not only a demonstration of his military talent, but also a proof of his loyalty to the party and the country. Therefore, true heroes, do not look at the starting point, but see whether they can be opened up at the critical moment and whether they can hold on. Xu Guangda, this is what a real general looks like!
