When it comes to He Shaozhou, many people may not be familiar with him, but his uncle you must know is He Yingqin, the big man of the Republic of China.
He Shaozhou is the son of He Yingqin's second brother He Yinglu, after graduating from middle school, the family arranged an arranged marriage for him, but He Shaozhou did not agree, and had a dispute with his family, and ran away from home in a rage.
Where did He Shaozhou go? Went to Guangzhou to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy and became the first student of Whampoa.
As everyone knows, He Yingqin is a well-known "pro-Japanese faction," but He Shaozhou is different; he hates the Japanese aggression against China very much, and when he was studying at the Japanese Army University, he clearly stated: "I came to Japan to learn how to resist Japan's use of force against our country in the future!" ”
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, He Shaozhou was the commander of the first detachment of the Taxation Police Corps, leading his troops to Shanghai and participating in the fierce Battle of Songhu. In the first detachment, there was also a regimental commander named Sun Liren.
Multiple Japanese bombers hovered overhead, constantly dropping bombs on He Shaozhou's position. In the face of the Japanese bombardment, He Shaozhou did not panic, but adjusted the combat deployment, only sent a small number of fighters to monitor the position, other personnel hid, and after the Japanese bombing, the other personnel quickly returned to the position and launched a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army.
It was precisely because of He Shaozhou's flexible combat methods that not only reduced the casualties of the troops, but also consumed the physical strength of the Japanese army and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army.
After that, He Shaozhou also participated in the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Western Hubei, the Battle of Yichang, the Battle of Zhejiang and other battles, made great achievements in battle, and was promoted to major general of the army.
To say that the peak battle in He Shaozhou's life is to count the Battle of Songshan.
In June 1944, He Shaozhou, then commander of the Eighth Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, was ordered to attack the Japanese fortress of Songshan.
At that time, the Japanese military mouth said wildly: "If the Chinese army does not sacrifice 100,000 people, it will not be able to take Songshan at all!" After He Shaozhou listened, he didn't think so, and said, "My 50,000 Guizhou disciples are enough!" ”
However, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is indeed very strong, He Shaozhou and the Japanese army have not achieved results for several days, he knows that the longer the time is stretched, the more casualties on our side, originally only 50,000 soldiers, and then such a consumption with the Japanese army, it is necessary to destroy the entire army.
In order to make a quick decision, He Shaozhou ordered the whole army to bring bayonets and fight with the Japanese army in close combat.
However, the Experience of the Japanese Army in fighting bayonets was very rich, and our fighters fell one after another, and the losses were very large. In the face of this situation, He Shaozhou said bitterly: "Instead of watching you die one by one under the bayonets of the Japanese army, it is better to die with them!" ”
How did He Shaozhou do it? He brought in artillerymen and fired at the soldiers of the two armies entangled on the battlefield, and they were killed together!
He Shaozhou did this, and there was no way to do it, so later someone complained to Chiang Kai-shek over this matter, and Chiang Kai-shek did not pay attention to it, saying that the situation was excusable.
In this battle, He Shaozhou annihilated an organized wing of the Japanese army, won a big victory, and was awarded the "Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun" after the war.
In 1949, He Shaozhou did not follow He Yingqin to Taiwan Island, but moved to the United States, where he died in 1980 at the age of 78.
