Su Yu was the head of the ten founding generals of our country, and he once served as the deputy commander of the East China Field Army, and he personally praised and praised the general who said that he was a "legendary figure", which must have a surprising and admirable superiority.
General Su Yu boasted of this founding major general, named Liao Zhengguo, who had many extraordinary tactical performances during the war years, especially adhering to the characteristics of our army's active search for fighters, never missing any opportunity to strike at the enemy, so he had many legendary performances that were popular among the population.
Speaking of general Liao Zhengguo's boldness and boldness, we have to mention his title of "Liao Duzi", and his right arm was broken to protect his comrades-in-arms.
At that time, after the Battle of Huangqiao, Liao Zhengguo's New Fourth Army collected a number of weapons, many of which were new and more powerful weapons, even the chief of the troops responsible for weapons repair would not use.
The weapons were naturally meant to teach the warriors how to use them, but studying these new weapons was fraught with danger, and Liao Zhengguo did not want to let the director take the risk, but instead studied the grenade that he had never seen before, but he accidentally triggered the switch when he was dismantling the grenade.
Liao Zhengguo, considering that the fighters were all outside the house, had no time to run far in just a few seconds, and he shouted "lie down" in a hurry, and he stood on the table holding aloft the grenade, and finally his right arm was blown away, and the other fighters were safe and sound. At that time, the medical conditions were poor, and Liao Zhengguo became the "sole son of Liao".
In 1937, Liao Zhengguo carried out local activities in Weiwu, Gansu, after encountering an attack, he led more than 40 people to fight and flee, after which they turned to the direction of Yan'an, encountered Ma Jiajun's pursuit and killing on the road, everyone fled in all directions, Liao Zhengguo was forced to the edge of the cliff by Ma Jiajun, he did not want to be captured, heroically jumped off the cliff, and the enemy army also shot under the cliff.
Fortunately, Liao Zhengguo did not die, he was stuck in the crack of the stone, and was later rescued by his comrades-in-arms, but there were many injuries on his body, and he did not want to drag his comrades-in-arms, so he only needed a little ration and urged his comrades to leave quickly and avoid the pursuit of the enemy.
However, no one expected that in the end, Liao Zhengguo was displaced from place to place, but instead found the Red Army troops rescued, while those separated comrades were unfortunately captured by the Ma family army when crossing the Yellow River, and all of them were sacrificed.
Liao Zhengguo's most amazing achievement was the surprise attack on Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport. It was in 1939, Liao Zhengguo served as the commander of the second detachment of the "Jiang Kang" detachment of the Sixth Regiment of the New Fourth Army, and the anti-Japanese front line operations at that time were mainly in various parts of the local area, Liao Zhengguo fought fiercely, rushing to the front with light machine guns, and his detachment was always high morale.
Liao Zhengguo's second detachment was very "attractive", and gradually grew in strength during the period of operation, from a few hundred to 1300 people, and also had more weapons, such as machine guns, which were suppressed by firepower, and he organized two platoons, and his combat effectiveness became much stronger.
After approaching Shanghai, Liao Zhengguo was not afraid at all, when the core stronghold of the Japanese into our country was Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport, which was also through which troops were constantly transported, and the Japanese army in Shanghai was sufficient and heavily guarded, and they also built fortifications and bunkers, which was a "hard bone". Not only that, but there were many Japanese puppet troops at the airport, although their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Japanese army, but it was also quite annoying.
However, Liao Zhengguo made a "world-shaking" situation here, he first moved in the suburbs, beat the Japanese army to the ground, and beat the Japanese puppet army to "pieces", and chased the enemy army until dark.
At this time, Liao Zhengguo and his comrades-in-arms were blinded, did not know where they had come, quietly surveyed around to find that it was the airport, the puppet army was loose, the combat effectiveness was poor, and soon liao Zhengguo was served by a pot, but they were not satisfied, and they were still looking around for whether there was a Japanese army that could fight.
Later, Liao Zhengguo and their scouts found the tarmac with the plane, and at that time Liao Zhengguo did not know what the tarmac was, but as soon as he heard that there was a plane, his eyes lit up. It was just that the helpless soldiers were too excited, and were discovered by the Japanese army, and under the intensive fire attack, Liao Zhengguo was not willing to "go back empty-handed", and immediately ordered his plane to be burned first!
By the time the Japanese army touched it, Liao Zhengguo's men and horses had long since run out of shadows, burned several Japanese planes in vain, and "made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace" on their core positions, and the next day this good news was printed in the newspapers and spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shanghai, the Japanese were humiliated and angry, the people of Shanghai were overjoyed, and Liao Zhengguo once again "made a name" for the New Fourth Army.
In the combat history of General Liao Zhengguo, he will always be the one who dares to fight and break through the most, rushing to the front when fighting, and rushing to the front to protect his comrades-in-arms when there is a danger of sacrifice, whether he is a captain, a battalion commander or a regimental commander, the spirit of being a pioneer has never changed, he cherishes his comrades-in-arms and loves the motherland, and it is precisely this kind of naked heart that has cast China's glory today.
