After the founding of New China , Peng Dehuai once saw the one-armed general Peng Shaohui, stroked the scar on the other party's broken arm, reviewed the battle of broken arm, and said: I shouldn't be angry with you!
Peng Shaohui broke an arm on the battlefield in 1933. He strictly demanded himself in life and battle, made outstanding contributions to the revolution, and was awarded the rank of general in 1955.
1945, three one-armed comrades gathered in Yan'an, from left: Zuo Qi, Peng Shaohui, Yan Fusheng
Peng Shaohui was born in 1906 in Chong, Shaoshan, Hunan. Because of his poor family, he seemed to have been soaked in bitter water in his childhood. He herded cattle for the landlord when he was a child, and when he grew up, he went to work at the landlord's house.
html When he was 120 years old, he participated in the peasant movement and met a tall man who came to inspect. Peng Shaohui introduced the development of the peasant movement to the other party. Later he found out that the man was the chairman.
html When he was 121 years old, Peng Shaohui participated in the struggle between farmers to surround Changsha. After failing, he went out to find the chairman. The two lakes area spent all their money in circles and had no choice but to join the Hunan Army to serve in the army.
In the Hunan Army, Peng Shaohui met Peng Dehuai and Huang Gongluo. In the camp school they opened, he learned cultural courses and technical tactics, and followed them to participate in the Pingjiang Uprising and joined the People's Army.
Peng Shaohui was brave in combat. By 1933, he grew from a soldier to the commander of the Red 1st Division of the Red 3rd Army and was one of the fierce generals under Peng Dehuai.
The fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" operation, Chiang Kai-shek's army mobilized more than 30 divisions and divided into three groups to rush towards our Fujian-Jiangxi base, and put on a decisive battle.
Peng Shaohui during the Red Army
The enemy and us started the battle in Nanfeng County, Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, and the fierce battle lasted for many days without a record of the victory or defeat.
Our army naturally did not want to fight the war of attrition, so we turned to the deep mountains of Jiangxi to launch a mobile war. The enemy was led into the mountainous area relentlessly and was hit by our army head-on.
Chen Cheng After losing consecutively, he changed his tactics, changing it from the original "dividing and advancing attack" to "intermediate breakthrough". To put it bluntly, it was to divide the troops into two columns in front and back, looking for the main force of the Red Army to fight to the decisive battle.
But the enemy walked around the mountains and could not catch up with the main force of the Red Army. He worked hard in one go, and the troops became more and more tired.
The enemy is tired and I will fight! Our army was divided into left and right wings, ready to sound the horn of counterattack.
htmlOn March 20, the two columns in front and back of the enemy lacked tacit understanding due to the cooperation mistakes, so they set a distance between them. This is the precious fighter opportunity that our army has been waiting for for a long time.
Peng Dehuai commanded Red 3 Legion and lies in ambush in Caotaigang Town. Peng Shaohui's Red 1st Division was scheduled to attack Pili Mountain, the commanding heights of Caotaigang.
The storm is coming and the wind is filling the tower , the battle is about to break out, and this battle is known in history as the ambush in Caotaigang.
The superior's order was to give Jiang Jun a fatal blow to the elite 11th Division of the trump card in Caotaigang!
The next day, the enemy came indeed. The enemy's direct general Luo Zhuoying led the 9th and 11th divisions into the deep mountains in the Caotaigang area.
These two divisions belong to Chen Cheng's rear column troops, and the distance from the front column is about 45 kilometers. Once the rear column is surrounded by our army, it will be difficult for the front column to support it in a short period of time.
Peng Dehuai thought, should we attract the enemy into the ambush circle? The best tactic is to create illusions, making the enemy mistakenly think that there is no main force of the Red Army nearby.
The specific method is to ask Peng Shaohuihong 1st Division to send a company to take off the uniform of the regular army, put on the clothes of local guerrillas, bring the armband of the guerrillas, and harass the enemy at night. Remember to retreat after firing a few shots.
You should throw armbands, clothes, files and other things on the road, pretending to be an illusion of emergency retreat.
But at this time an accident happened. A company disguised as a guerrilla. After contacting the enemy, some soldiers were angry by the enemy's arrogance and arrogance.
was previously stipulated that it would take a few shots to retreat quickly, but the soldiers picked up the machine gun and fired at the enemy. Once the enemy becomes suspicious, they may guess the intentions of the Red Army.
Peng Dehuai was furious and picked up the phone and answered the 1st Division. He scolded Peng Shaohui: "Why is fighting so tightly now? It must be implemented as planned! The Red 1st Legion and the Red 5th Legion have not reached their position yet. If the enemy is beaten away, you must be fully responsible! It is really a random piano! "
After one night, Peng Dehuai was still angry and went to the command center of the 1st Division in person, pointed at Peng Shaohui and scolded him again.
Fortunately, the enemy was too arrogant and despised our army with its equipment and number of soldiers. He did not notice Peng Dehuai's ambush circle, otherwise Peng Shaohui would have to be punished.
After the battle began, Peng Shaohui wanted to make meritorious service, so he commanded his troops to rush to Pili Mountain.
This place is the commanding height of Caotaigang Town. The enemy sent a battalion to guard the throat, and firepower poured down from the high place.
In the entire fourth "anti-encirclement and suppression" campaign, the battle between the enemy and us around the main peak of Pili Mountain became a fulcrum related to success or failure.
Division launched three consecutive charges, but failed to reach the main peak. It was difficult for Pili Mountain to climb. What's more, there are enemy machine gun positions on the mountain, which have long used crossfire to block the road up the mountain.
Peng Dehuai has been paying attention to the competition in Pili Mountain. He picked up the phone and answered the 1st Division and said loudly: "Peng Shaohui, I am watching you attack. Be careful to be very calm, organize your firepower, and take advantage of all opportunities to attack! "
Peng Shaohui has been following Peng Dehuai in battles from the day of his enrollment. He knew that General Peng attaches great importance to Pili Mountain because that main peak is too important for this large-scale battle. After the phone was hung up, Peng Shaohui heard the charge sound at the headquarters of the army. The soldier No.
is responsible for passing military orders, commanding troops to advance, retreat, move left and right, etc. In the Caotaigang ambush in 1933, Peng Dehuai ordered Tian Changjiang, the chief of the Red 3rd Army, to blow the charge.
This means that Peng Dehuai personally supervises the battle and must capture the main peak of Pili Mountain.
After the loud trumpet rang, Peng Shaohui walked out of the command center, and he shouted to the soldiers: "I will not go down if I don't take down Pili Mountain, and I won't go down the mountain if I die!"
Peng Shaohui personally led the team to charge. The soldiers shouted to take down Pili Mountain and followed the division commander to kill Pili Mountain.
The enemy's plane hovered over his head, and the smoke from the air strikes rolled up, making Weng Ming temporarily deaf. He saw his comrades move, but he couldn't hear the sound.
nd Company of the 11th Regiment, a company commander of the Ming Cult Luo Kaigui seized the brief interval between the enemy's bullet replacement, rushed to Pili Mountain in one fell swoop, and took the main peak position. The 1st Division finally gained the initiative from the passiveness.
A day of fierce battle in Caotaigang, our army completely annihilated the enemy's elite 11th Division and killed the division commander Xiao Qian; defeated the 9th Division of the enemy, and the rest of the troops fled out of the ambush circle in panic.
The Red Army achieved an unprecedented victory. In this battle, three enemy divisions were annihilated, tens of thousands of people were captured, and a large number of weapons and equipment were seized. The First Red Army developed to more than 100,000 people, and the Red Army across the country developed to a scale of 300,000 people. The bases in many southern provinces were connected together, and the Red Army entered its heyday.
The enemy was defeated, and Jiang lamented in the telegram: This setback is extremely miserable.
Chen Cheng replied: Although the city is not sensitive, it is shame to be born alone.
Luo Zhuoying replied: Ying has become a serious sinner of the party and the country today.
Chen Cheng
In the battle, Peng Shaohui's left arm was hit by two bullets and his arm bone was broken. This was the fifth time he was injured on the battlefield in his life.
The soldiers carried Peng Shaohui to the hospital. The doctor said he wanted to amputate his limbs, but he insisted on not wanting to do so, worried that his arm would be gone and he would not be able to command the battle.
If the limb is not amputated, necrosis of the arm may be life-threatening.
Peng Dehuai went to the hospital in person and angrily scolded Peng Shaohui with aggression. Could it be that he would be dragged to death by his arm? We are not afraid of death, are we afraid of losing an arm?
Peng Shaohui then put down his ideological burden and agreed to undergo amputation, becoming a famous one-armed general.
After he was discharged from the hospital, he started training from scratch, learning cultural courses and practicing riding horses and fighting, bringing out the "Model Teacher of Xingguo".
1965, Peng Shaohui went deep into the company to check combat preparations

The book "The Complete Biography of Peng Dehuai" records: General Peng later felt deeply sad and guilty about Peng Shaohui's broken arm. After liberation, he sighed and examined himself.
