On April 1, 1950, , the desert was lonely smoke straight, the long river was setting over, , on the deserted Gobi Desert in Xinjiang, on the winding mountain road from the direction of the pier to Qijiaojing, a green jeep bumped up and down. , A group of 6 people in the car, uniform military clothing, badge, military cap and red five-star cap badge.
This is the new uniform of the Chinese People's Liberation Army after 1949, which is particularly eye-catching in the empty desert.
Go to Chetongluquan, which is a long and rugged slope. The driver hits the throttle, but the speed still inevitably slows down.
Broken roads, valleys, and passes are natural locations for ambushes. At this moment, more than 40 heavily armed rebels sprang up from the ravines on both sides and quickly surrounded them from both sides. The manufacturing process of
steel plate is easy to make thick and difficult to make thin, so the previous automobile steel plate is thick, unlike today's only 1, 2 mm thick, bullet resistance is naturally the lever .
Therefore, in the face of emergencies, an officer in the car calmly ordered the driver: " , don’t stop, fuel up, lower your head, and rush over. _strong4p _strong4p _strong4p Upon seeing this, the bandits raised their guns and fired, and the bullets hit the car with sparks. If it didn’t work, then hit the wheel. Under the command of the cunning bandit, the jeep was quickly hit on the front tire. .
The officer in the car drew out a pistol, was in danger, and organized a counterattack and protected information in an orderly manner. At first glance, it was 's battle-tested .The six used the jeep as a cover and fired back with pistols and carbine .
There are many traitors. Driven by the bandit leader, they braved bullets to copy them. The bullets poured down, and the roaring gunfire broke the silence of the open field. It echoed for a long time...
4 kilometers away, the second battalion’s fourth company instructor Han Deshan and company commander Meng Bao, who were stationed at the pier, were anxious and had an ominous premonition when they heard the gunshots.
By the time they arrived at the scene, the rebels had already snatched all the items that could be taken away, set the jeep on fire, and fled on horseback. The car was surrounded by the remains of the PLA soldiers who were killed by the bullet.
On a hillside not far from the jeep, three guns were thrown in front of the body of the guard, and they were all empty. The carbines and barge gun were broken, only the pistol was intact, and the guard was lighting up the ammunition. Then the last bullet in the pistol killed himself...
Han Deshan threw his hat on the sand. The black smoke from the jeep swayed in the air for a long time.
General Wang Zhen
The bad news spread to the headquarters of the Xinjiang Military Region, the commander of the Corps General Wang Zhen could not calm down for a long time took one in the war room. To smoke.
The victims in the attack included Luo Shaowei , deputy commander of the 16th Division of Xinjiang Military Region , confidential secretary Li Yuqing, staff officer Ma Yuzhang, telegrapher Song Wancheng, and security officer Yang Zhuangyuan.
Luo Shaowei He was only 32 years old when he was sacrificed. was also the highest-ranking general who sacrificed in the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the Northwest.
Wang Zhen reported the painful news to Premier Zhou Enlai, and Premier Zhou immediately relayed it to Chairman Mao. Hearing Zhou Enlai's submission on the phone, Chairman Mao was also silent for a long time...
Under the instructions of Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou Enlai personally sent a telegram of condolences to express his condolences. Luo Shaowei is known as the number one sword in the army. Although he is young, Chairman Mao and the leaders of the central government have a deep impression on him .
In 1946, the President of the United States sent a special envoy Marshall to visit Yan'an, while mediating the two parties and avoiding civil war, but in fact the United States favors the Kuomintang.
To knock the mountain and shake the tiger, the best way is to show the strong military discipline of the People's Liberation Army, so the Party Central Committee selected 500 young and talented fighters from the elite Nanniwan Teaching Brigade 1st Regiment to form , the first three-army honor guard of the Chinese Communist Party , the stalwart and handsome Luo Shaowei is the captain of the guard of honor, so it is called the first man of the saber .
After the training camp, on March 14, 1946, accompanied by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Zhu De, American envoy Marshall inspected the first honor guard of the People’s Liberation Army on the airport apron ,Luo Shaowei's saber was bright, and the soldier Tiger Step Panlong left a deep impression on Marshall and the central leaders.
Nowadays, the hero died before he got a good chance, which made the hero burst into tears.
Life of General, famous Shandong
Luo Shaowei was born in Puxi Town, Hanyin County, Shaanxi.
At the age of 13, he has grown tall. When he entered the city to make a living, he was arrested by Yang Hucheng's troops because of his outstanding body shape.
Anyway, Luo Shaowei stayed in the army. At that time, there were a large number of underground members of the CCP in the Northwest Army. Under their influence, the young Luo Shaowei changed from eating food to saving the country and survived in early 1935. Voluntarily and the three platoons he was in left Yang Hucheng's army and joined the Communist Party-led South Shaanxi Anti-Japanese First Army.
And in the subsequent anti-Japanese warfare, Luo Shaowei showed bravery, grew up quickly, and took the lead. severely damaged the Japanese army, completed the impossible mission, and caused a sensation in the Hebei-Luyu Military Region twice.
1. The first case of the Eighth Route Army in Southwestern Shandong to completely wipe out the Japanese stronghold
In 1940, the Japanese army, which was blocked on the frontal battlefield, increased its compression of the Jiluyu base area with the intention to remove the entire anti-Japanese base area and avoid fighting on both sides. The Japanese army chose Hancunji, Cao County, Shandong Province, to build a new stronghold. This deployment is like a wedge embedded in the base area.
This makes the Hebei-Lu-Yu Military Region feel like a throat, determined to pull out this nail ,But suffering from ignorance of the situation in the village, the deployment of the Japanese army, coupled with the sturdy fighting power of the Japanese army, was caught in a dilemma for a while. If you don't fight, you have a passive strategy, and you have no way of starting.
Just hesitating, Luo Shaowei asked Ying to take someone to Hancunji to inquire. He asked the villagers to inquire, but because the Japanese army was tightly blocked, the villagers only knew that the Japanese army occupied a landlord’s compound as a stronghold. Nothing is known about deployment, etc.
kept inquiring, and the results were all like this. Just when everyone was about to retreat, Luo Shaowei accidentally saw a woman walk into a wood at the entrance of the village alone.
Luo Shaowei seemed to feel something, and said to the soldier: ", what do you think? " The soldier said what he thought, but he didn't feel abnormal.
Luo Shaowei thought for a moment, and slapped his thigh: "Go, go and see, this woman is empty-handed, and she enters the woods alone. There must be a problem with .
Luo Shaowei takes someone into the woods, and is encountering a woman looking for a shortsight-hanging herself. , He rushed up and hugged his feet to rescue the woman. Upon asking, he found out that the woman was caught by the Japanese army and was bullied. After escaping, she was unlovable and went to the woods alone...
Luo Shaowei was filled with righteous indignation and could not wait to peel off the skins of these devils. He immediately revealed his identity and explained his intention. The woman stopped crying and told Luo Shaowei that there were more than 100 Japanese troops stationed here, and volunteered to take them in: "I know that this group of beasts Outpost and location, I will take you there.
Luo Shaowei said: "It's too dangerous, just tell us." "The woman said: "I am not afraid of death, as long as you can avenge me."
At that time, Luo Shaowei’s company had only more than 50 people. There were few enemies and the Japanese army was well-equipped. It was very difficult to eat this Japanese army.
Everyone looked at Luo Shaowei and said "Luo Shaowei punched fiercely.Luo Shaowei laid the troops in ambush around the village, and led the reconnaissance team that night, with a woman leading the way, tiptoe to avoid the sentry, without knowing it, crawling to the roof where the Japanese army command headquarters is located.
The Japanese army was already asleep, Luo Shaowei gently uncovered the tiles, and with the moonlight he found that besides the sleeping Japanese army, there were also many shells and explosives piled up in the room.
Luo Shaowei is very happy, this is a good opportunity for a pot end, look at the location, and throw the opened grenades into the ammunition below, which immediately caused waves of explosions, and the Japanese command post was plunged into a sea of flames.
The troops ambushing outside the village saw the " slamming cup number " in the village, shouting in unison, rushing into the village, screaming for killing, and the Japanese didn’t know how many people there were in the Eighth Route Army and from which direction they attacked. , Panicked, messed up, head and tail awkward, Luo Shaowei won in chaos, killed the 107 devils in one fell swoop, and seized a large number of spoils.
This battle wins more with less, and it is the first example of the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong to completely wipe out the Japanese stronghold . Luo Shaowei shook the Hebei Luyu Military Region for a while. After the war, he was also promoted to the commander of the regiment because of his merits. Luo Shaowei was 22 years old this year.
2. Prison situation, famous Shandong
In 1942, because of his outstanding performance, 24-year-old Luo Shaowei was selected as a high-potential young cadre to study at the Army Middle School of the Hebei-Luyu Military Region. Born from a poor family, they need to learn military and culture while fighting in the revolution to improve their quality.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment were tense,The 38th is an extravagant hope. In addition, the must leave the weapons to the frontline officers and soldiers when entering the army middle school, and the students are not allowed to carry weapons .
However, Luo Shaowei happened to encounter the "September 27" raid by the Japanese invaders in eight divisions in this issue. Suddenly, this gave way to the Army Middle School of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University in Duyang Liulijing. It was caught off guard and was surrounded by no weapons and was unable to fight. Most of the students were captured. Luo Shaowei and other captured comrades were escorted to a suburban school in Jinan. In prison.
He colluded with his comrades and insisted that they were all logistics personnel, otherwise, how could they have no weapons and face the enemy's various tortures, and no one would give in and let go.
The enemy couldn't pry open their mouths, and they couldn't figure out their identities. They were finally sent to Jinan Railway Station near the Mobil Petroleum Company employee dormitory, and was used as a coolie. Use .
It is these not-so-sturdy dormitory doors that give them an opportunity to take advantage of it. If it is a prison, it is really hard to fly. Luo Shaowei allowed everyone to show obedience and actively work, which mentally paralyzed the Japanese army.
On November 28, 1942, the Japanese army ate and drank wildly, and their defenses were lax. At midnight, it was raining again in Tiangong Zuomei. The opportunity is not to be missed. With the sound of thunder, Luo Shaowei led the six comrades in the cell to smash the lock of the door with a stone hidden in advance and open the door.
They hid their bodies against the wall and rushed to the gate, stoned to death the lax guards, seized three guns, and ran along the path to the forest.
The Japanese army quickly discovered that they had escaped from prison and immediately sent troops to pursue them. On the way, due to fatigue and hunger, some soldiers offered to rest a little before rushing. Anyway, the enemy is now invisible, and maybe the enemy is not chasing at all.
Luo Shaowei refused,Encourage everyone to say: ", when we escape from prison, the enemy will definitely chase them. They are now behind us. Once we stop and the enemy does not stop, one will go down and the other will grow, and they will immediately fall into death. Now it is better than anyone to persevere. Everyone, work harder and don’t fall short. ”
For frail comrades, Luo Shaowei arranged for physically strong people to help them. In order to reduce exposure, they avoided the masses along the way. In this way, with Luo Shaowei’s persistence and encouragement, the soldiers We assisted each other, ran forward for two consecutive days and two nights, without dripping water or grains of rice, and insisting on completely by will.
It was not until the third day that the Japanese army was completely thrown off and it was slightly safer. They knocked on an old lady's house to beg for some food. After a simple filling of their stomachs, they rushed to the station of the Jiluyu Military Region overnight.
On the other side, because they escaped from prison and killed people, the Japanese army was so angry that they gathered a large number of people and chased them non-stop for two days and two nights.
When Luo Shaowei led his comrades in ragged clothes and thin face to the military region, the whole army was a sensation, and the soldiers welcomed them in their lanes. The senior leaders of the military region personally came out to greet and sympathize with .
The feat of Luo Shaowei and his comrades to escape from prison with guns became a legend, which caused a sensation in Jinan and shocked Shandong. The newspapers and magazines of the Chinese Communist Party and the Communist Party made a major report. The commander of the of the Hebei-Luyu Military Region commander Yang Dezhi personally received them and Sign the commendation order .
After returning to the team, Luo Shaowei continued to compose triumphs and poems on the battlefield. In August 1946, he led his army to cross the Wuding River and cleared the defenders by the Wuding River.The troops welcoming General Wang Zhen returned north.
On February 13, 1947, he led a teaching brigade to fight Hu Zongnan on the front line of Jiulong Spring, Nanniwan, and Mafang east of Qingquan Valley, and fought the first battle to defend Yan'an.
In February 1949, Luo Shaowei participated non-stop in the spring campaign of , the battle of central Shaanxi, the battle of Fumei, and the battle of Lanzhou.
Xinjiang banditry was rampant, and the general went west to the frontier fortress
In 1949, the People's Liberation Army swept the Central Plains. After the overall situation has been set, the sword is aimed at Xinjiang in the northwest and its soldiers are near the city.
Xinjiang Kuomintang’s garrison commander Tao Zhiyue, the CCP under strong military pressure, coupled with the CCP’s underground party’s sentimental and rational persuasion, as well as the Soviet Union’s sparing efforts in mediation, finally telegraphed: Xinjiang Peaceful uprising.
As a result of the power-on, part of the Kuomintang army in Xinjiang supported the uprising, and part of it was scattered by birds and beasts, leaving in twos and threes.
Xinjiang local minority warlord Usman took the opportunity to use gold and silver treasures and high-ranking officials to win over these fled Kuomintang troops in Xinjiang.
He used this trick to attract many people, and he quickly developed into a local armed force of more than 20,000 people. His ambitions became more and more inflated.
In February, Usman sent troops to occupy the entire Barkol Prairie , hoarding heavy troops in the Xingxing Gorge, known as the golden soup, propaganda holy war, 3span to create the so-called " 3span" .
As a means of terror and high-handed rule, the rebels ransacked local businesses and bank vaults in Dihua many times, and used wars to frighten the people, burn, kill, and looting.Adulterous women do everything they want.
In March 1950 alone, this rebel army killed more than 1,000 unarmed people of all ethnic groups and looted more than 340,000 heads of various livestock...
All of a sudden, the sky was angry and people complained, Xinjiang Military Region quickly In response, a special bandit command was established, with Wang Zhen, the first deputy commander of the military region , as the commander-in-chief himself.
The first headache General Wang Zhen encountered was who the main task was given to him. It was not that he could not find anyone, but that the willingness to fight was too strong and too many people were vying to go.
After thinking, the general gave the main attack to the 46th regiment of the 16th Division of the Xinjiang Military Region. He told Wu Zongxian, the commander of the 16th Division, and Luo Shaowei, the deputy commander of the 16th Division: "The 46 regiment fought in the Longdong Campaign, and the troops have rich experience in cavalry combat. This is very similar to the Xinjiang rebels. Let me rest assured.
Afterreceived the order, the two dared not neglect, and proceeded with intense deployment and division of labor. On March 22, 1950, Luo Shaowei set off to the front line to implement pre-war preparations and act as an outpost for the large army.
The commander of the 16th Division Wu Zongxian and the deputy commander Luo Shaowei are a pair of old comrades who have experienced many battles. They fought side by side, defending Yan'an in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, breaking the Majia army in the Battle of Longdong, liberating Xi'an, fighting Lanzhou... life and death depend on each other.
Before departure, Wu Zongxian set up a wine for Luo Shaowei. Wu Zong felt that: "We were limited in terms of conditions. The cannons and machine guns were small in caliber and the number was limited. It was almost relying on the flesh and blood of the soldiers to resist the horses’ collision and trampling. , The enemy’s saber ......"
Luo Shaowei said: "History will never repeat itself." The two toasted and met, , a pot of dirty wine, happy reunion, many things in ancient and modern times, they are laughing and talking, It seems to have returned to the Xiaoxiao battlefield in the Longdong Battle.
Longdong Battle
It was May 1947,Wu Zongxian and Luo Shaowei led their troops to participate in the Longdong Campaign initiated by the Northwest Field Army .
The People's Liberation Army is no longer the Red Army of the year, and its equipment and tactics have been greatly improved, while the Ma Jiajun is still the Ma Jiajun of the year. The method of tactics remains the same: uses the high mobility of the cavalry force, erratic, and sometimes forms a superior force to attack locally. They forgot, rigidity can be fatal!
Looking at the firepower equipment, we know that the Northwest Field Army has a clear advantage. Although facing Ma Jiajun's erratic tactics, he could not convert his advantage into victory, and he could not expand the result, because the enemy could not catch up and ran away on horseback.
But tactics can make up for all of this. , Wu Zongxian and Luo Shaowei together, in order to respond to the changes, the enemy must be saved, the main attack on the important strongholds of the Ma's army, forcing the enemy to have to save.
Sure enough, in Heshui City, Ma Jiajun was forced to enter a positional battle, and immediately lost his mobility. He used his weakness to attack the PLA's strengths. He was completely crushed, pressed on the ground and rubbed. It was miserable.
At a precarious time, the defending enemy had no choice but to come up with the trick of surrender. Naturally, the field army would not easily believe it, but they had to give their opponents a chance to surrender. It would be best to not move their swords and guns, so the two sides lined up to carry out the surrender ceremony. .
At this moment, the enemy troops who came to rescue took the opportunity to suddenly launch a sneak attack from both sides. This rapid cavalry maneuver advantage of the dismounted Ma’s army has been fully utilized. The PLA 259 Brigade, which is about to be surrendered, only guards the frontal enemy. Unexpectedly, the enemy’s reinforcements acted so fast and caught off guard. The brigade commander, political commissar, and regiment commander were all spared, and all were injured. The troops suffered heavy losses.
In a crisis, Luo Shaowei immediately arranged his troops into a dense formation with the rifle in front.The submachine gun is behind. The rifle fired at long-range cavalry, and the submachine gun shot into the cavalry within 100 meters, supplemented by grenades.
Usually fights, the formation should be scattered, which can reduce the enemy’s artillery damage, but the Ma’s army has more maneuverability and limited firepower. The intensive formation will not cause large-scale casualties, but is beneficial Concentrated fire.
In order to ensure that the formation is not chaotic, Luo Shaowei strictly ordered: The front row falls down and the back row makes up. You are not allowed to step back . Pick up the rifle personally and stand in the team.
The enemy cavalry has rushed in, and the troop mortar lost its effect. The gunner raised his gun to go into battle and killed the enemy, but Luo Shaowei stopped him: "Aim all the mortars at the pass and wait for instructions."
The terrain here , The surrounding is high and the middle is low, which is good for the cavalry to charge, but the disadvantage is that it can only move forward and cannot retreat. Once the only pass is blocked, the turtle in the urn.
With this command, it can be seen that in this battle, Luo Shaowei not only simply defeated the enemy, he wanted to wipe out the opponent.
Under the discipline of iron , the soldiers in the front row of the People’s Liberation Army fell down and immediately stood up to fill their positions. The formation was always the same, and the enemy cavalry could not rush through the intertwined firepower net, but the cavalry Once charged, it is very difficult to withdraw, and the result is that the life of the Majiajun cavalry is harvested in large quantities .
Seeing that the situation is not good, the enemy ordered a retreat. Luo Shaowei immediately ordered the mortar to fire continuously.Fire blocked the pass , this time the horse army cavalry couldn't beat it and couldn't run away. They panicked and became a turtle in the urn.
During the battle, Luo Shaowei was shot in the arm and shoulder, and the blood-stained robe remained unrelenting. In the end, the Majia Army reorganized the 179th regiment of the 81st division and captured the enemy commander Ma Mianbang alive.
The father-in-law of the captured enemy captain Ma Mianbang was Ma Hongbin. This man was a prominent figure in the Ma family’s army, who had tortured the Japanese twice in Linhe and Shawo during the War of Resistance against Japan.
After knowing the identity of Ma Dianbang, He Bingyan, commander of the field army column, considered his influence and ordered the local release of . When Luo Shaowei heard the news, he threw his hat away and quit. He found a political commissar Liao Hansheng and said: "In this battle of , we have suffered many casualties. No. ”
Liao Hansheng also found it wrong, and found He Bingyan. He Bingyan said: “The enemy wants to let his soldiers fight us to the death and propagate us to abuse the prisoners. We just want their lies to be self-defeating.”
After Luo Shaowei understood it, he gladly accepted it, and asked him to find a horse for Ma Dianbang and send him back.
The People's Liberation Army planted melons and beans to get beans. After returning home, Ma Mianbang was not affected by the defeat, but rose step by step. Two years later, the Ningxia Campaign , when the Northwest Field Army met again When Ma Mobang, this guy has become the commander of Ma Jiajun.
Just when the two sides met again, a bloody battle that the People's Liberation Army thought was unavoidable, Ma Dianbang suddenly led an uprising and joined the People's Liberation Army team .
Plant a seed in spring, and you will reap many fruits in autumn; plant a seed on the human heart, but the human heart will not bloom, but the human heart will change.
Blood-stained frontiers, thousands of miles of yellow sand
Returning to the present from memory, Wu Zongxian and Luo Shaowei meet "After the rebellion is put down and the situation in Xinjiang is stabilized, I will bring my wife and children here to see the desert loneliness. The smoke is straight, and the long river is setting the sun." .
However, who would have thought that this difference is actually the distance between heaven and man.
The next day, Luo Shaowei detoured into the west of the town from Qijiaojing. Originally, there was another quicker road to the west of the town. However, in order to prevent the bandit troops from entering the west of the town, the bandits demolished the two bridges on this road. NS.
So the scene at the beginning of this article appeared. Deputy Commander Luo Shaowei inspected the defense situation of Qijiaojing and died heroically in Che Lunquan.
Luo Shaowei was General Wang Zhen’s capable general. After the bad news came, General Wang Zhen, who was decisive and killed, immediately ordered all 16th and 17th divisions in a field to be dispatched, and all the bandits must be wiped out. Considering that the rebels are all cavalry, the general specially deployed 41 tanks and armored vehicles, 240 cars, a reconnaissance plane, and four troops for this operation.
In view of the fact that the Usman Bandit Gang is dominated by cavalry, the bandit forces slashed through the mountains and forests, and went straight to the "base camp" of the Usman Group-Da and Xiaohongliu Gorge to march day and night.
When the great army descended from the sky, Us was full of trapped beasts fighting, he had read the art of war, and he actually came up with the fire bull formation that imitated the Warring States .Order the subordinates to tie the oily cotton ball to the war horse buttocks and light .
After the war horse was frightened, he ran desperately towards the bandit troops, crushing a large area of black, and the momentum was shocking, but he forgot, is not as good as no book. Now it is the era of hot weapons.
As soon as the PLA’s machine guns, artillery, tanks and other heavy firepower were on, these war horses fell in pieces and did not work at all. The battle alone severely damaged the enemy and the rebel forces were mostly wiped out.
After that, Usman was chased, chased and intercepted along the way. After repeated defeats and desperate, he led more than 500 people from the remnants into Gansu, intending to detour into Qinghai, looting enough food and livestock, and fled to India.
After Wang Zhen was aware of his intentions, he went to the front line of southern Xinjiang to supervise the battle. There was another fierce battle between the two sides in the Qinghai grassland. This battle completely defeated the Wusiman tribe.
Usman had nowhere to go and tried to escape punishment among the bandits, but was eventually identified and escorted back to Xinjiang.
In 1951, more than 80,000 people from all walks of life in Xinjiang gathered in Dihua People’s Square to witness the trial meeting of the bandit leader Usman.
After the trial, Usman was escorted to the execution ground with a gunshot, ending his sinful life and comforting Luo Shaowei and other soldiers who died on the road to suppress the bandits .
