"The red corner of Ganshui is biased towards Huang Gongluo; The guns were pressing, and General Fei entered with his own weight. This is a poem written by Chairman Mao specifically for the "Flying General" Huang Gongluo. To be able to get such high praise from Chairman Mao, what is unique about Huang Gongluo?
Huang Gonglue (1898-1931) was a native of Xiangxiang, Hunan. Influenced by his father (Mr. Private School), Huang Gongluo returned to his hometown after graduating from school at the age of 16 and started as a private school teacher. Later, the Hunan army held high the banner of protecting the law, and Huang Gongluo, who wanted to contribute to the country, also joined them.
Before he was admitted to the Hunan Army Martial Arts Hall, Huang Gongluo basically worked as a civilian official. After graduating from Jiangwutang, Huang Gongluo was promoted to company commander in the combat unit. Later, Huang Gongluo followed the Hunan Army to accept the reorganization of the Nationalist Government, and made many meritorious contributions in the Northern Expedition, and was directly promoted to the deputy of the major regiment.
At the age of 29, Huang Gongluo was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, and joined the Communist Party of China in the same year, and then participated in the Pingjiang Uprising led by Peng Dehuai, Deng Ping and others. After the success of the Pingjiang Uprising, Peng Dehuai and others withdrew to Jinggangshan with the main force of the Red Fifth Army in order to preserve their strength, while Huang Gonglue, who was then the commander of the second column of the Red Fifth Army, led his troops to stay in the area of Pingjiang and Liuyang, responsible for the creation of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Soviet regions.
In just a few months, Huang Gongluo led his troops to open up many base areas in Pingjiang, Liuyang and other counties, and eliminated many enemy troops. Due to Huang Gongluo's outstanding ability, after Peng Dehuai led his troops back to the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border area, he was promoted to deputy commander of the Red Fifth Army.
A few months later, Huang Gongluo was transferred to the post of commander of the Red 6th Army, responsible for establishing Soviet power in southwestern Jiangxi. Later, Chairman Mao took the Red 4th Army and the 12th Army to southwest Jiangxi and established the 1st Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and the Red 6th Army was reorganized into the Red Third Army, with Huang Gongluo as the commander, under the direct command of Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De.
In the first three "anti-encirclement and suppression" battles of the Red Army, the Red Third Army commanded by Huang Gongluo achieved good results, but unfortunately, after the third "anti-encirclement and suppression" battle, Commander Huang Gongliu left us forever.
In early August 1931, the Kuomintang gathered a large number of troops in the area around Xingguo, vainly hoping to eat 30,000 Red Army troops in one bite. In order to smash the enemy's third "encirclement and suppression", Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De decided to adopt the strategy of "avoiding the real and making up for the false", ordering the troops to defeat the weak ragtag army first.
At that time, Huang Gongluo led the Red 3rd Army and his brother troops to achieve great victories in Liantang and Liangcun, and then he led his troops to play the role of a surprise soldier in the battles of Huangpi and Laoyingpan.
After smashing the third "encirclement and suppression", Huang Gongluo led his troops to move to the Ruijin and Ningdu areas, and fought the landlords (with assembled weapons) while resting and recuperating the troops. In mid-September of the same year, when the Red Third Army was marching to Liudu'ao, it was unfortunately discovered by a group of enemy planes, and Huang Gongluo immediately ordered the vanguard to withdraw into the woods first. At this time, a staff officer came to report that the 7th Division had not yet been notified in place, and that their current location was lined with paddy fields, and that once they were discovered by enemy planes, they would be live targets.
At the critical moment, Huang Gongluo came up with a method that could quickly notify the 7th Division - all machine gunners fired at enemy planes.
For a time, dozens of machine guns spewed fire dragons into the sky, and the enemy planes were startled and hurriedly rose into the air to dodge, but after a while, they were in a trance, and then dived down and fired wildly. At the same time, the 7th Division also received a "signal", and they quickly rushed through the open area and rushed towards the dense forest.
Although the troops were out of danger, Huang Gongluo was unfortunately shot in the abdomen during the battle with the enemy plane just now. Because the bullet passed through the internal organs, the military doctor tried his best, but he still failed to rescue Huang Gongluo. The 33-year-old commander just left us.
After the news of Huang Gonglue's death came, Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De were overwhelmed with grief. At that time, when Huang Gongluo was buried, Zeng Shan, chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Soviet Government, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De personally carried his coffin and buried him on the hillside behind the Zhang ancestral hall.
In order to commemorate this outstanding military merit (meritorious service in revolutionary warfare, meritorious service in guerrilla warfare, meritorious service in counter-encirclement and suppression, meritorious service in establishing base areas...... Although Gongluo County did not exist for a long time, it made outstanding contributions to the Chinese revolution like General Huang Gonglue.
