In 1988, the military rank system was restored, and 14 of the 17 generals awarded had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
One of the generals had never studied, but had practiced the skill of "living maps". Since childhood, I have received help from noble people, and I have never forgotten my gratitude in my life. On the battlefield, sex is as fierce as Zhang Fei, and the love of soldiers on the battlefield is not afraid of power. His military career continued to struggle, and he was first awarded the rank of major general until he was a general. Throughout his life, he lived frugally and always maintained his true colors.
This general with full personality but always maintaining his original intention is You Taizhong, a fierce general who conquers the four sides.
In 1918, You Taizhong was born into a poor family in Guangshan, Henan.
Due to the early death of his father and the exhaustion of his mother's eyes from needlework, You Taizhong helped the landlord herd cattle and beg for food at a very young age. When he was 12 years old, because he accidentally lost the cow, You Taizhong did not dare to return to the village and secretly ran to the Red Army garrison in a nearby village.
The head of the cooking class, Song Ban, saw him at the door, led him into the house, and gave him a large bowl of rice. You Taizhong felt the goodness of this team and wanted to join the Red Army. The old Song squad leader fought hard with the company commander and left him as a "small fire-headed army".
The following year, 13-year-old You Taizhong grew taller and was incorporated into the 2nd Battalion and 2nd Company of the 29th Regiment of the 10th Division of the 4th Army of the Eyu-Anhui Red Army, and served as a trumpeter. In the future, whenever You Taizhong saw the old squad leader, he was always respectful and respectful.
After the long march through the meadow, the big man You Taizhong unfortunately got malaria and could not walk, and sitting on a stretcher affected the march of the team, and it seemed that he was going to be left alone in the meadow. Zhan Caifang, the political commissar of the Red 31 Army, who happened to be passing by, saw it, and asked him to give him a pony tail to lead him, and said that if he was well, it might be a piece of food for the war. Just this sentence saved You Taizhong's life.
For the life-saving grace of the "bodhisattva" general Zhan Caifang, You Taizhong never forgot it.
Founding Major General You Taizhong
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, You Taizhong's 93rd Division of the Red 31st Army was reorganized into the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
The 772nd Regiment is a famous "Hundred Generals Regiment" of our army, and the regimental commander Ye Chenghuan, the political commissar Xie Fuzhi, the deputy regimental commander Wang Jinshan, and the regimental chief of staff Sun Jixian are all well-known generals. Regiment commander Ye Chenghuan and three battalion commanders, Ding Silin, Guo Guoyan, and Yi Liangpin, were killed in the brutal battle. The "madman" Wang Jinshan and the deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion, You Taizhong, fought until the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In October 1937, the Japanese secretly attacked the 771st Regiment of the 386th Brigade at Shimen, causing more than 30 casualties.
Founding Lieutenant General Wang Jinshan
Liu Bocheng ordered an ambush to be set up in Qiquan Village, deputy regimental commander Wang Jinshan headquarters was located in Beishan, Deputy Battalion Commander You Taizhong commanded the 11th and 12th Companies and the 1st Platoon of Special Agent Companies in front of the front, and Battalion Commander Guo Guoyan commanded 2 companies to be reserves on the heights of Qiqi Village.
In this battle, the 129th Division annihilated more than 300 Japanese troops and a large number of heavy weights. Liu Bocheng broke the routine of "no return to the use of troops", and a few days later, deputy regimental commander Wang Jinshan led the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment to set up an ambush in the village of Qiqi again, killing more than 100 Japanese troops and capturing a large number of materials.
After that, You Taizhong and Wang Jinshan successively participated in Shentouling, Changle Village, Xiangtangpu, the anti-Japanese Nine Road Siege, and the Hundred Regiments War. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, You Taizhong became the brigade commander of the 6th Column and 16th Brigade of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army.
In the Battle of Northern Henan in the Liberation War, the 6th Column and 16th Brigade in the Battle of Tangyin were attacked by sappers to open the way, artillery irregular firepower to rush, infantry to attack and sneak attack, and attacked the enemy city wall in one fell swoop. After the war, the 16th Brigade made a great contribution.
Xu Xiangqian and You Taizhong
In August 1947, the main force of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army was 120,000 troops, and thousands of miles jumped into the Dabie Mountains.
On August 24, Liu Deng's Zhonglu Army was blocked by the Ruhe River in front of the Middle Route Army, and tens of thousands of pursuing soldiers in the rear, and the situation was extremely critical.
At this time, Wang Jinshan's "three musketeers", Li Desheng's 17th Brigade had already covered the crossing of the river in advance, and Xiao Yongyin's 18th Brigade had killed a bloody road. At the forefront, You Taizhong's 16th Brigade was ordered by Liu Bocheng, and the front team changed to the rear team to take cover.
At the large and small Leigang blocking positions on the south bank of the Ru River, Chief Liu Deng suddenly arrived in the rain of bullets, and You Taizhong was worried about their safety, no matter what they asked, he hoped that they would leave quickly. Before leaving, Liu Bocheng asked solemnly: "Do you know the meeting place?" You Taizhonglian nodded and asked Du Yide, the political commissar of the Sixth Column, to lead them out of the crop field to walk.
Liu Bocheng did not take a few steps and turned back, and said loudly to You Taizhong: "Comrade Taizhong, Comrade Taizhong, Pengdian!" Pengdian! Don't forget! Until his old age, whenever You Taizhong talked about Ruhe, Liu Shuai's voice was still in his ears.
In one day of fierce fighting, the 16th Brigade suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the sacrificial blanket was buried in one roll, and finally completed the cover mission.
Thousands of miles jumped into dabie mountain
During the long war, the rugged Yu Taizhong learned the unique skill of "living map".
On the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, You Taizhong can remember thousands of strange place names.
In the third phase of the Fifth Campaign, under the "return guns" of Ridgway and Van Vliet, several units of the volunteer army in the south were "pocketed" by the US mechanized task force.
General You Taizhong
The 27th Army of the Ninth Corps was not in danger, and quickly broke through under the command of Peng Deqing. The 180th Division of the 60th Army of the Three Corps went deep alone and suffered heavy losses for various reasons. The 91st Regiment of the 31st Division of the 12th Army went deep into the 37th Line and retreated in the witty counter-insertion of Zhao Lantian and Li Changlin, but the 34th Division of You Taizhong, who had always shown the image of "big old man and rough", made the superiors uneasy.
Wang Jinshan's 3rd Corps and Zeng Shaoshan's 12th Army called the 34th Division one by one. You Taizhong, who commanded the rapid transfer of troops, was very annoyed by the telegram and even said that the ghost was calling something. The telegrapher was ordered to ignore it and shoot him in violation of the order.
Under the leadership of the "living map" You Taizhong, the 34th Division returned to the 38th Line without any danger.
Many people are amazed by You Taizhong's ability to remember maps, but he laughed at it, all of which are forced by no culture, others use notes, and they can only remember with their hearts if they are illiterate. To fight a war is to kill people, how dare you be sloppy.
Xu Shiyou and You Taizhong
In 1964, You Taizhong's old leader Wang Jinshan was difficult to clean up because of his personal marriage incident, which had a great influence in that special era, and finally handled the result, the lieutenant general demoted to a colonel and transferred to a farm in Zhoukou, Henan Province, as a deputy director.
Wang Jinshan and his wife Han Xiuyan
In 1969, You Taizhong, commander of the 27th Army, and Xu Shiyou, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, climbed the mountain together, and You Taizhong asked Commander Xu to help Wang Jinshan come back. Xu Shiyou took an opportunity to gently mention Wang Jinshan to the chairman. Under the concern of the chairman, Wang Jinshan went to Xu Shiyou's Nanjing Military Region as deputy chief of staff, and You Taizhong, Wu Shihong, and Xiao Yongyin all went to the station to greet him.
In 1973, Commissar Deng returned to Beijing from Jiangxi, and at that time he was not in power.
You Taizhong, then deputy commander of the Beijing Military Region, heard that Commissar Deng had returned, went to visit with Su Zhenhua and Li Da, and specially bought 5 cigarettes. Commissar Deng asked, do you still dare to come? You Taizhong said, you will always be our old political commissar.
You Taizhong's favorite sentence is that the product is between the bamboo; the grid is above the plum. The warrior will be wind and bone, and the true color will not change.
