In 1967, China was in a special historical period, when the wave of the Cultural Revolution swept across the country, and social order and economic construction were greatly impacted. Against such a background, Xiao Yongyin, as commander of the armored corps of the Nanjing Military Region, is facing the dual pressure of army building and national defense security. He is well aware that a country's military strength is the cornerstone of its safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the building of the army requires not only advanced weaponry but also high-quality soldiers.
In such an environment, Xiao Yongyin made a controversial but very strategic decision at the time - to recruit "child soldiers". There are multiple complex considerations behind this decision.
First of all, from the point of view of army building, recruiting child soldiers can inject fresh blood into the army. Although these young children are still young, they are full of vitality and potential, and through systematic military training and ideological education, they can quickly grow into the backbone of the army. At the same time, most of these children come from the families of military and local cadres, who have received militarized education and nurturing since childhood, and have a natural sense of closeness and identity to the army, which helps to improve the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army.
Xiao Yongyin's military career is an epic full of legends. His life was a life closely linked to the military history of the Republic, as well as a life of continuous growth and self-transcendence.
During the era of the Red Army, Xiao Yongyin showed extraordinary courage and military talent. At the time, he was just a young warrior, but he already possessed maturity and wisdom beyond his years. At the age of 17, he volunteered to command the battle, which was very rare at the time. The young Xiao Yongyin not only has extraordinary courage, but also has keen battlefield insight and excellent command ability. He was able to quickly judge the situation and develop a reasonable battle strategy, which made him perform many miracles in battle.
However, wars are always brutal, and Xiao Yongyin was unfortunately seriously injured in a battle. This injury was a test of life and death for him, but with his strong will and indomitable spirit, he miraculously survived. This experience not only did not break him, but made him more determined to believe and resolve. He knows very well that as a soldier, he must always be ready to give everything he has for the country and the people.
After recovering from his injury, Xiao Yongyin did not retreat because of this serious injury, but devoted himself more actively to military work. He rose to prominence in the military, demonstrating exceptional leadership and military wisdom. His military career has since entered a new stage, growing from an ordinary soldier to a senior commander.
Xiao Yongyin's growth process is a process of continuous learning and self-improvement. He is well aware that as a military commander, he must possess a wealth of military knowledge and superb command art. Therefore, he continued to study military theories, study the laws of war, and improve his strategic thinking ability. At the same time, he also paid attention to the accumulation of practical experience, and constantly summed up his experience and improved his command level through one battle after another.
In the course of long-term military practice, Xiao Yongyin gradually formed his own unique military thinking and command style. He stressed: Military commanders must have a sense of the overall situation, be able to examine the war from a strategic perspective, and formulate a combat strategy that conforms to reality. At the same time, he also paid attention to bringing into play the subjective initiative of the troops, encouraging the officers and men to think positively, give play to their wisdom and talents, and contribute to the victory of the battle.
Xiao Yongyin's military career is also a process of continuous sublimation of his personal qualities. He led by example, was strict with himself, and always maintained the noble character and firm belief of a soldier. His bravery, wisdom, tenacity, and selflessness have won him the respect and love of the vast number of officers and men, and have also won him the reputation of an "iron-blooded general."
Xiao Yongyin's military career is a magnificent history, and it is also a process of continuous growth and self-transcendence. From a young soldier to a senior commander, he used his practical actions to interpret the responsibilities and responsibilities of a soldier, and showed the demeanor and charm of a military strategist. His story will forever inspire future generations to make unremitting efforts for the peace and happiness of the country and its people.
Xiao Yongyin's tactical innovation and contribution in the War of Liberation is an important chapter in his military career. His military talents were fully displayed and brought into play in this great war, and he made indelible contributions to the cause of China's liberation.
The March to the Southwest was one of the important battles of the Liberation War, and Xiao Yongyin played a key role in this battle. At that time, the Kuomintang army had strong defensive forces in the southwest, and they relied on the terrain and strong defensive lines in an attempt to stop the PLA offensive. Faced with this situation, Xiao Yongyin proposed a bold and innovative tactic - to avoid the enemy's main force and adopt a roundabout tactic.
The core idea of this tactic is to take advantage of the mobility and flexibility of the PLA to attack from the flank or rear by bypassing the enemy's frontal line of defense through roundabout actions. Doing so not only reduces casualties from head-to-head encounters, but also disrupts the enemy's deployment, forcing it to disperse its forces, thereby reducing its defensive capabilities.
Xiao Yongyin's tactical thinking was quickly approved and supported by his superiors. In the process of implementation, he carefully planned, carefully deployed, led the troops to maneuver quickly in complex terrain, and successfully avoided the enemy's main forces. They crossed the mountains, overcame many difficulties, and finally achieved a breakthrough in the enemy's defenses.
In the process of breaking through, Xiao Yongyin also skillfully made use of the terrain and weather conditions, and adopted tactics such as night battles and ambushes, which effectively dealt a blow to the enemy's morale and combat effectiveness. His troops moved quickly and went on the offensive, inflicting enormous pressure and losses on the enemy.
Xiao Yongyin's roundabout tactics achieved great success in the campaign to advance to the southwest, and made great contributions to the liberation of Chongqing. His troops not only managed to break through the enemy's defenses, but also advanced rapidly, eventually achieving the liberation of Chongqing. The victory in this battle not only broke the defense system of the Kuomintang army in the southwest region, but also laid a solid foundation for the victory of the National Liberation War.
Xiao Yongyin's tactical innovations in the campaign to advance into the southwest fully demonstrated his military wisdom and command ability. His roundabout tactics were not only tactically successful, but also strategically far-reaching. The successful application of this tactic provided valuable experience for the PLA in other campaigns and also provided important inspiration for later military commanders.
Xiao Yongyin's contribution is not only reflected in tactical innovation, but also in his deep understanding and grasp of the overall situation of the war. He was able to flexibly adjust his tactics in light of the actual situation of the war and work out a combat plan that suited reality. This ability of his was not only demonstrated in the campaign to the southwest, but also in other battles.
Xiao Yongyin's military career is a history of continuous exploration and innovation. His tactical thinking and command art not only made important contributions to China's liberation war, but also provided valuable wealth for the development and innovation of China's military theory. His deeds and spirit will forever inspire future military commanders to continue to explore and forge ahead bravely for the sake of peace and prosperity of the country.
