Four of the five tiger generals of Chairman Mao's Jinggangshan period sacrificed their lives for the revolution, and one died on the way to defect
There were countless heroes during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and many soldiers were invincible and invincible. Once, during Chairman Mao's time at Jinggangshan, there was a detachment that was claimed to be the "Five Tiger Generals," and these people were Wang Erzhuo, Wu Zhonghao, Zhang Ziqing, Huang Gongluo, and Lin Biao.
Although these teenagers are not very old, they have extremely high military ability, can fight wars, and can also lead the army. However, in that chaotic era, it was really not easy to live, let alone become famous and famous through the ages. Wang Erzhuo, Wu Zhonghao, Zhang Ziqing, and Huang Gongluo, four fighters, died heroically for the cause of the revolution very early, and although Lin Biao was once famous, he eventually crashed and died.
Although the heroes have fallen, their great achievements are worthy of admiration, and I would like to commemorate them with this article.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" ></h1>
Born in 1901 in Hunan Province, he studied at the famous Whampoa Military Academy in his early years and officially joined the Communist Party of China in 1924. After joining the party, Wang Erzhuo held many important positions, and also participated in the Northern Expedition, the Nanchang Uprising, etc., and his combat experience was very rich, and his political ability was also quite prominent among his peers.
In 1928, Jinggangshan successfully met the division and established the new Red Fourth Army, at which time Wang Erzhuo served as the chief of staff and regimental commander of our army. Wang Erzhuo, who had just arrived, was very active in cooperating with his superiors and assisting in the fulfillment of various principles and policies, and also personally took command of the expedition, bravely fought well and fought with blood, successively taking the Wudou River, Caoshiao, Xinlao Qixiling, and Longyuankou, defeating the onslaught of several regiments of the enemy army, causing the enemy's vitality to be seriously injured and suffering heavy losses, thus laying the foundation for the stable situation on which the Jinggangshan revolution was based.
In 1928, at this time, Shonan was defeated by the enemy army and prepared to go to Jinggangshan, where Wang Erzhuo was responsible for receiving the Xiang army, but on the way he encountered a traitorous defection and captured the enemy with the fifth company of the second battalion of the Twenty-eighth Regiment and the mortar company. When Wang Erzhuo heard about it, he was very angry and resolutely decided to pursue the traitors and retain the revolutionary forces.
But unfortunately, during the pursuit, Wang Erzhuo was attacked by traitors, shot and shot, and died on the spot, at this time Wang Erzhu was only 27 years old. Afterwards, the superior leaders were very sad to learn of this incident, and Chairman Mao personally sent him off.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Wu Zhonghao</h1>
Born in Hunan Province in 1905, Wu Zhonghao officially joined the Communist Party of China in 1924, entered the infantry department of the Whampoa Military Academy at the age of 20, and after graduation, he also participated in the Northern Expedition, the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the border of Xianggan and Gansu, and so on.
Wu Zhonghao was a very wise and assertive person; when a meeting of cadres at and above the battalion level was held in Liuyang, Yu Shandu and others were very opposed to Chairman Mao's propositions, and Wu Zhonghao knew in his heart that Chairman Mao's propositions were very much in line with the existing situation in our country.
When he was in Jinggangshan, Wu Zhonghao was already the first "general" under Chairman Mao. He was a very strategic man; at that time, Jinggangshan was facing the enemy's heavy troops "will suppress," And Wu Zhonghao, who was not in danger and made careful arrangements, put forward the opinion that our army was most suitable for developing toward Gannan at this time, chairman Mao agreed very much, and then after the battles in the Gannan belt, the situation of our army improved somewhat, and as the main force coming to Gannan, Wu Zhonghao also made a great contribution.
In 1929, our army turned to western Fujian, and Wu Zhonghao led our army to attack Dabaidi, Changlingzhai and other places, all the way invincible, and severely damaged the enemy army. In the same year, our army was preparing to go to the southwest of Jiangxi to mobilize troops, but when passing through Anfu County, Jiangxi Province, it was unexpectedly attacked, and Wu Zhonghao immediately commanded the battle, but the disparity in the strength of the enemy's army was too great, and he died heroically on the spot, at this time he was only 25 years old.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Zhang Ziqing</h1>
Born in 1902 in Hunan Province, Zhang Ziqing officially joined the Communist Party of China in 1925, and he also participated in the Northern Expedition War, the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the border of Xianggan and Gansu, and so on, with high military talent.
Subsequently, he followed the troops to Jinggangshan, held many important positions, was the leading backbone of the Jinggangshan revolution, fully assisted Chairman Mao in commanding the battle, and was a very shrewd person. On the way to meet the Nanchang uprising troops, he was unfortunately seriously wounded, but later he still gritted his teeth, endured severe pain, and continued to fight for revolutionary tasks.
After the fall of Jinggangshan, Zhang Ziqing, who had not healed his old wounds, insisted on fighting for many days, and when our army found him, he was exhausted, and since then he has fallen ill, and unfortunately died in 1930 after a long time, at the age of 28.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Huang Gongluo</h1>
Born in 1898 in Hunan Province, Huang Gongluo had a rich resume in his early years, participated in the Northern Expedition, and also made many military achievements, officially joining the Communist Party of China in 1927.
When the main force was going to Jinggangshan, Huang Gongluo led a unit of the Fifth Army to defend the Pingjiang and Liuyang areas, mobilized the masses in the local area, and carried out underground guerrilla warfare.
The brave and invincible Huang Gongluo was once praised by Chairman Mao as a "flying general". However, in 1931, when our army was on the way to transfer the Donggu Liudu Pass, it suddenly encountered a sneak attack by the enemy army, Huang Gongluo reacted quickly, immediately ordered the battle, and orderly commanded to participate in the battle, but unfortunately he was shot during the war, and died on the spot, at this time only 33 years old.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Lin Biao</h1>
Born in Hubei Province in 1907 and officially joined the Communist Party of China in 1925, he is a very complex figure, who participated in the Northern Expedition, the Nanchang Uprising, the Shonan Uprising, and so on.
When he was in Jinggangshan, he held many important positions, and also participated in important battles such as Changsha, Ganzhou, Nanxiong Shuikou, and Le'an Yihuang, assisted our army in carrying out many anti-"encirclement and suppression" activities, and fought many victorious battles in his life, but later also made many mistakes.
But no matter what, merit is merit, passing is passing, once he was also a lot of military achievements, faults can not be offset, but can not erase his contribution to the revolutionary cause.
Lin Biao was awarded the rank of marshal in 1955, the luckiest of the five, but in 1971, he took the opportunity to defect, but accidentally crashed on the way and died on the spot.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
In the long history, the memory will eventually dissipate, and only the spirit will last forever. At that time, the "Five Tiger Generals" of Jinggangshan were as fierce as tigers, and although people were gone, they should be remembered by us.
