In 1955, New China carried out the first conferment ceremony, and the famous "Ten Marshals" were determined in this title. These generals have experienced countless baptisms of blood and fire, and now they are gathered together with a thousand emotions in their hearts.
Nie Rongzhen said to the crowd, "If Comrade Wu Zhonghao had not sacrificed, the current Ten Marshals might have been in a different position." "Wu Zhonghao is a talented person, but it is a pity that he did not see the day of victory.

In 1903, Wu Zhonghao was born in Hengyang, Hunan, his father was a quite knowledgeable talent, Wu Zhonghao was also deeply influenced by his father since childhood, full of poetry and books, with a strategy. At the age of 17, Wu Zhonghao was admitted to the College of Liberal Arts of Peking University with excellent results and became a student of Mr. Li Dazhao. Under the influence of Mr. Li Dazhao, Wu Zhonghao gradually became a staunch revolutionary.
In the recollection of everyone, Wu Zhonghao is a very literati character of the general, in life Wu Zhonghao has always maintained a confucian and easy-going personality, hobbies are to practice calligraphy and poetry, people called "the fourth army of the literary scholars", there is a story that people talk about, when Wu Zhonghao and Song Yunqin were friends, Song Yunqin felt that his name was not good, so Wu Zhonghao changed his name to "Song Renqian" for his friend.
Moreover, Wu Zhonghao was also very appreciated by Chairman Mao, and he was Chairman Mao's first favorite when he was alive. The two first met in Guangdong, when Wu Zhonghao had finished the fourth training course of the Whampoa Military Academy and was appointed by his superiors as a military examiner at the Guangzhou Peasant Uprising Training Institute, while Chairman Mao's position at that time was that of director of the Peasant Uprising Training Institute and director of the Kuomintang Central Propaganda Department. Both men were subordinates of the Kuomintang, but they were also members of the Communist Party, and they still worked in the same place and lived in a dormitory, so they gradually became acquainted.
Wu Zhonghao admired Chairman Mao very much, and after listening to Chairman Mao's lectures, he felt that the Chairman's views were inspiring, and the views put forward by the Chairman were full of innovation and advanced consciousness, which were of great benefit to the country. Chairman Mao also felt that Wu Zhonghao was a wizard of both culture and martial arts, and the two people admired each other more and more.
During the Northern Expedition, Wu Zhonghao went out with the army, but unexpectedly, after the Northern Expedition, the situation suddenly changed, and the white terror became more and more serious, so our party decided to resist the enemy's atrocities after painful thinking. In September 1927, Wu Zhonghao, as a battalion commander, followed Chairman Mao to launch the Autumn Harvest Uprising.
But the autumn harvest uprising did not go well, and Chairman Mao made a decision - to turn to the countryside. This is a brand new road, and before Chairman Mao, no one had ever thought of "the countryside encircling the city", so many people were reluctant to try it, thinking that the risk was too great. Chairman Mao did not have absolute power at that time, so the chairman of this decision alone proposed not to count, and that everyone should discuss and agree before it could be implemented. For this reason, the crowd quarreled, and Wu Zhonghao resolutely supported Chairman Mao's opinion, believing that moving to the countryside was the best choice for our party.

Wu Zhonghao's firm attitude affected many hesitant comrades, and finally everyone decided to take a risk, and the later story was Jinggangshan, which we are all familiar with.
At Jinggangshan, Wu Zhonghao gave full play to his military talents, and the enemy frantically attacked the base areas, but was blocked out of Wu Zhonghao's defense line, and Xiao Ke recalled that Wu Zhonghao's troops were "able to attack and defend, and win every battle." ”
In 1928, Chairman Mao decided to attack Ninggang, only by capturing Ninggang could the enemy's threat in the north of Jinggang Mountain be relieved, and the third battalion under Wu Zhonghao's command was the main force of the siege troops.
Seeing this situation, Wu Zhonghao picked up the wine jug he carried with him, lifted his neck and poured a pot of spirits, and then rushed up the ladder of siege with a roar of wine, three or two steps up to the head of the city, and fought with the enemy. In this battle, the Red Army won a complete victory, wiped out more than 300 enemy people, and became the first great victory of the Red Army after coming to Jinggangshan, and its significance was extraordinary.
Wu Zhonghao was a genius in leading soldiers to fight, and his political work was also quite talented. In those years, the Jinggangshan base area was repeatedly surrounded and suppressed by the enemy, and Wu Zhonghao's main force should develop to the gannan area, because the first in the gannan area where the enemy's foundation was not deep, the second was that the terrain was complicated, which was conducive to the Red Army and the enemy to maneuver around, and the third had a relatively broad mass base. This suggestion greatly affected the fate of the Red Army, and later Chairman Mao said with emotion: "The Red Army has developed in Gannan today, and Wu Zhonghao should remember the first merit, and he strongly advocated coming to Gannan." ”

It is a pity that as one of the first few builders of the Red Army, Wu Zhonghao did not see the final victory, and his life ended in 1930.
For Wu Zhonghao, 1930 was a turbulent year, this year Wu Zhonghao was promoted to military commander and successfully launched the Longyan Uprising, but soon after the success of the uprising, Wu Zhonghao contracted severe pneumonia. Chairman Mao went to the hospital to visit Wu Zhonghao regardless of the danger of infection, and the two talked for a long time, when the central authorities decided to take Changsha, which made Chairman Mao and Wu Zhonghao deeply uneasy, and this was not a good time to attack Changsha.
But the overall situation was decided, Chairman Mao had to set out with the army, Wu Zhonghao was full of worries about this battle, and the outcome also confirmed his judgment, and the battle was lost. In order to recover the losses, Wu Zhonghao, who was seriously ill, decided to lead his men and horses to attack Ji'an, but the defeat spread like dominoes and became a nightmare in the Red Army team.
On the way out, Wu Zhonghao encountered an accident, the enemy set up an ambush in Anfu County, and Wu Zhonghao and the soldiers fell into an encirclement. This time, the enemy knew that the Red Army was coming, launched a heavy army, and Wu Zhonghao led the soldiers to break through continuously, but in the end they could not save the defeat.
In the end, Wu Zhonghao fought until the last moment, and was brutally killed by the enemy when he ran out of ammunition, at the age of 27. If he had survived, perhaps he would have created more legends in history, but his story ended hastily in the year. In the history of the Red Army, there are many, many prodigies, who all have an infinitely bright future, but they have not been able to resist the god of death.
Wu Zhonghao's sacrifice became a regrettable thing in Chairman Mao's life, and with Wu Zhonghao's merits and qualifications, he deserved the position of marshal, and the Naihesi people were gone. Wu Zhonghao once wrote a poem before his death: "The boy died in a hundred battles on the battlefield, and the body of the strong man Ma Ge was wrapped up." Buried bones why mulberry land, the human world is full of green mountains. This poem is a reflection of his life.
