On the long revolutionary road, revolutionary martyrs fell in the struggle, and behind them, countless brave comrades inherited their unfinished legacy, and successively threw themselves into the revolutionary struggle. It is precisely because of this batch of enthusiastic men who are brave enough to fight and are not afraid of sacrifice that they finally ushered in the founding of New China and led the Chinese people into a new era.
Many of these martyrs who fell on the revolutionary road did not even leave their names, and many of them made great contributions in the course of the revolution, including one who founded two Red Army armies, one of whom became a founding general, and his successor was the founding marshal, but unfortunately he died at the age of 23, and this person was Wu Guanghao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > excellent general out of Whampoa</h1>
Wu Guanghao, a native of Huangpi County, Hubei Province, was born in 1906 in an ordinary small mountain village. In his childhood, his father died prematurely, and it was his mother who took on the burden of raising the family, and wu Guanghao was raised to adulthood with hard work.
When he was in middle school, Wu Guanghao read progressive books and periodicals such as "Guide" and "New Youth", accepted the baptism of the new cultural movement physically and mentally, and also set the great ambition of serving the country and the people and serving the country. At the age of 19, Wu Guanghao, who had finished his studies, rushed to Guangzhou and applied for the Whampoa Military Academy and became a cadet of the Whampoa Phase III.
After graduating from Huangpu, Wu Guanghao joined our party. During the Northern Expedition, he was transferred to the Independent Regiment of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army as a company commander, and under the leadership of the regimental commander Ye Ting, he charged into the battlefield and made many military achievements, and was promoted to battalion commander after the end of the Northern Expedition.
Such brilliant results of the Northern Expedition were the result of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists. However, in April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek extended the butcher's knife to his former comrades-in-arms, launched a counter-revolutionary coup, arrested and killed a large number of party members and revolutionary masses, and led the Nanchang uprising in order to resist the persecution of the reactionaries.
At that time, Wu Guanghao was ordered to return to his hometown, and after a period of meticulous preparation, a jute uprising was held. During the uprising, Wu Guanghao served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the uprising, and the battle against Huang'an County was personally commanded by him.
Due to adequate preparations and strict deployment, the battle proceeded smoothly, and after the uprising, the rebel forces were reorganized into the Eastern Hubei Army. However, the enemy quickly counterattacked and mobilized a division of troops to attack the county seat of Huang'an. The rebel army was short of weapons and soldiers, and eventually lost. The commander-in-chief Pan Zhongru went in and out of the city gate six times in succession, covering the breakthrough of a group of comrades-in-arms, and the seventh time when the comrades-in-arms went out of the city, they fell into the encirclement of the enemy army, and finally Pan Zhongru, who was seriously wounded, was sacrificed.
The remnants of the rebel army, led by deputy commander-in-chief Wu Guanghao, broke through the enemy encirclement and finally entered Mulan Mountain to persist in the battle. At this time, there were only 72 people left in the heavily damaged Edong Army, although the number was small, but they were strong in their revolutionary will, and they still insisted on fighting under bad conditions, and they were later called "Mulan Mountain Seventy-two Warriors".

Two months later, the Mulan Mountain guerrillas, which had developed somewhat, were reorganized into the Seventh Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army under the instructions of their superiors, and the commander was Wu Guanghao.
Under the leadership of Commander Wu, the Seventh Army, with Mulan Mountain as the center and more than 100 miles around it as a guerrilla zone, led the masses to launch a peasant movement to crack down on local tyrants and gentry and reactionary forces. Many of the bullies that plagued the people were eradicated, and the Seventh Army was supported by the common people.
With the growth of the revolutionary situation, the Eyu border base area was gradually created. In order to adapt to the situation of revolutionary development, the superior instructed that the Seventh Army be reorganized into the 31st Division of the 11th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, with Wu Guanghao as the commander and division commander, And Wang Shusheng, who had been following him in the revolution, as the party representative of the first brigade, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Shusheng became one of the ten founding generals.
During the long-term revolutionary struggle, Wu Guanghao accumulated rich combat experience and became an outstanding guerrilla expert. The base area is constantly expanding, and Wu Guanghao is not only improving his military command capabilities.
In 1929, the enemy sent two regiments of troops to surround Chaishan Fort, where the Red 31st Division was located. The situation was once critical, but Wu Guanghao, who was calm and self-assured, calmly responded to the battle, first breaking through the siege, and then turning to attack the rear of the enemy's flank, quickly crushing the enemy's siege.
Soon after the Outbreak of the Jiang-Gui War, taking advantage of the emptiness in the rear of the enemy army, Wu Guanghao took the initiative to attack and annihilated the reactionary militia groups in Huang'an, Macheng, and other places in one fell swoop.

Wu Guanghao, who can fight a good battle, has become a thorn in the enemy's eye and a thorn in the flesh, and has been looking for opportunities to eliminate him.
In May 1929, in response to the development of the revolutionary situation, Wu Guanghao prepared to rush to Shangnan to discuss leading the uprising. Everyone was afraid that he would have an accident and did not want him to go in person, but Wu Guanghao said: "I am the main leader, and the more arduous and dangerous it is, the more I should go." ”
Unexpectedly, the thing that everyone was most worried about happened. When Wu Guanghao and his party passed through Luo Tianteng, they were found by the local vigilante group and surrounded, and during the battle, Wu Guanghao was killed by several bullets and was only 23 years old.
As the supreme leader of the Red 11th Army, Wu Guanghao's sacrifice was a major loss for our army, and soon the organization sent another person to lead the Red 11th Army, and this person was Xu Xiangqian.
Under the leadership of Xu Shuai, the Red 11th Army achieved more brilliant results and gradually became one of the main forces in the development of the Red Revolution.
