He also served as deputy to He Long, Nie Rongzhen, and Ye Jianying. He also served as chief of staff of Lin Biao.
What kind of revolutionary deeds did Xiao Ke have? Let's learn more about it below.
Xiao Ke was born in 1907. Because he was born in a scholarly family, he has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. 1 In 923, Xiao Ke was admitted to Jiahe Jiazhi Jianxi Normal University.
Although Xiao Ke is not tall, he has ambitions. His ambition is not about personal food and clothing, but about the important responsibility of the world. Therefore, during the Great Revolution, 18-year-old Xiao Ke resolutely abandoned his pen and joined the National Revolutionary Army.
After Xiao Ke joined the National Revolutionary Army, he followed the army to fight in Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places.
1927, Xiao Ke joined Ye Ting's troops in Wuhan.
Although this is the revolutionary period of . The revolutionary situation seems to be in full swing, but it is actually hidden because the Kuomintang reactionaries are always thinking about anti-communist affairs, and this day is coming day by day.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai. Since then, the vigorous revolutionary revolution has failed. After that, the Kuomintang reactionaries began to arrest and massacre Communist Party and revolutionary masses, causing countless revolutionary patriots to die under the butcher knife of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
At this time of crisis, in order to show the determination of the Chinese Communist Party to carry out the Chinese revolution to the end, to awaken the broad masses of people, and to resist the massacre of the Kuomintang reactionaries, under such circumstances, the Communist Party of China, in the United Nations leftist party of the Kuomintang, held the Nanchang Uprising on August 1, 1927.
Although the Nanchang Uprising troops suffered blows and losses later, the Nanchang Uprising fired the first shot of armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries, and also opened the prelude to the creation of a revolutionary army by the Communist Party of China independently leading the armed struggle, which also marked the beginning of the founding of the People's Army of the Communist Party of China.
On August 1, 1927, Zhou Enlai, He Long, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng, Ye Ting and others led the Nanchang Uprising. At this time, Xiao Ke served as the company commander of the 4th Company of the 71st Regiment of the 24th Division. During the Uprising in Nanchang, he led the soldiers to take the lead. After
Afterwards, the Kuomintang reactionaries gathered heavy troops to march towards Nanchang , attempting to encircle the Nanchang Uprising Army. Due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, the rebel army had to withdraw from Nanchang and march south.
On the way to retreat, Xiao Ke and two platoon leaders, as well as the pivotal officer and the service officer were arrested. Then they were sent to Shantou.
The third day after Xiao Ke was sent to Shantou, a person dressed in an officer came. He asked Xiao Ke: "What position are you?"
Xiao Ke replied: "I am in charge of food and a servant."
The enemy wanted to scare Xiao Ke, so he said: "I think you are like a company commander."
Xiao Ke said: "Company Commander? You say you are the company commander or the company commander."
Xiao Ke is indeed the company commander, but his answer was so straightforward that the enemy did not believe it, so he asked again: "He Long and Ye Ting are Communists, do you know? "
When Xiao Ke heard this, he felt that the matter was serious because the enemy's issue involved the party's secrets, which could not be said no matter what, so he replied: "I don't know, I only know that He Long belongs to the 20th Army and I don't know him. Ye Ting is my superior, how can I know what I do about my superior? "
Seeing that Xiao Ke was very young, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, he could not be the company commander at all, because in the Kuomintang army, it would take at least about twenty-seven or eight to be the company commander. So the enemy thought that Xiao Ke was just a commander who was in charge of food. It would be useless to ask any further questions, so he left.
On the 8th day, the enemy really couldn't ask any news from Xiao Ke and others, so he let them go.
Xiao Ke walked on the streets of Shantou and met many soldiers of the Nanchang Uprising Army who were released. Xiao Ke really wanted to return to the army, but everyone said that the rebellion troops were disbanded, and now they don’t know where they are.
Xiao Ke didn’t know where to find the army at this time, so he wanted to find the party organization. He thought that Guangzhou was the center of revolutionary activities, where the party organization would definitely be found, and then he could continue to work for the revolution.
However, when Xiao Ke arrived in Guangzhou, Guangzhou was already in vain. Under the terror of sex, the revolutionary atmosphere of the past has disappeared.
At this time, Xiao Ke had very little money. In order to overcome the current difficulties of food and clothing, he decided to find a job temporarily and earn some money first.
Soon, Xiao Ke found a job, which was to help an old man sell calligraphy and paintings. He sold calligraphy and paintings during the day, and inquire about the news about the troops and organizations at night.

In the Huangsha area, the Red 17th Division fought fiercely with the enemy for 7 hours. Due to the large number of enemies and the small number of us, and the enemy had bombardment of planes, the Red 17th Division suffered a great loss.
After the Huangsha battle, the Red 17th Division and the Red 16th Division met and then divided Going north, the Red 17th Division continued to head north towards the Nanxun Railway.
