He is the youngest commander of the Red Army . Two generals were his political commissar and chief of staff, but died young
The Red Army period was the most difficult period for our army. Not only were the weapons and equipment poor, but they even had food and clothing problems, but they were not afraid of difficulties and had a firm will to revolution, and finally established a new China.
There were many young generals at that time. They were very capable, but some sacrifices were made. If they could survive until the founding of the People's Republic of China, they would definitely have achieved great success. For example, the person I want to talk about today is Xunhuaizhou.
11 In September 2019, 15-year-old Xun Huaizhou participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising , followed Chairman Mao to Jinggangshan , and joined the Communist Party of China in 1928. Since then, he has led his troops to achieve great achievements.
At that time, the Red Army lacked weapons and equipment, and even could not use rifles per person, so Xun Huaizhou seized it himself. Although he is only in his teenage years, he is brave and flexible, and is a good warrior.
At that time, there were many reactionary militia and landlords at home, so he was going to get some back. In 1929, the landlord colluded with the Kuomintang army, and he had only a dozen soldiers under him. In the end, he went alone and seized more than a dozen guns from the landlord's house.
Xun Huaizhou's heroic deeds were found out by Chairman Mao. He was very happy and thought he was a good seedling and needed to be cultivated. Therefore, the 18-year-old Xun Huaizhou became the commander of the 35th Division of the Red First Army.
11933, in the fourth anti-encirclement and suppression of battles, Xun Huaizhou led his troops to restrain the forces of several divisions of the Kuomintang army, and made great contributions to the victory of the Huangpi and Dongpi battles, and was specially commended by the Central Military Commission.
html In July, he served as the commander of the Red 5th Division, and the political commissar of the division was Xiao Jinguang, and he was the founding general. His chief of staff was Su Yu, who later became the founding general.
In December of the same year, Xun Huaizhou was only 21 years old and was appointed as the commander of the Red 7th Army. He was the youngest commander of the Red Army. Before that, he was Lin Biao. He was 25 years old when he was the commander of the Red 1st Army in 1932. He was 4 years younger than Lin Biao.
According to Xun Huaizhou's qualifications, he is Chairman Mao's direct general, and a person of the same level as him is either a founding marshal or a founding general. If he could survive until the founding of the country, he would at least be a general.
If this situation continues, Xunhuaizhou should be a very outstanding military general in our army, and he will do a great job. Unfortunately, Xun Huaizhou died in later battles at the age of 22.
11934, the Red 7th Army formed the Red Army's northward anti-Japanese advance team, led by Xun Huaizhou and political commissar Le Shaohua to the north, and set off from Ruijin to fight against the borders of Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi. In November, he entered , Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi Soviet Area , and merged with the Red 10th Army led by Fang Zhimin into the Red 10th Corps. He served as the commander of the 19th Division.
11934, in the battle of Tanjiaqiao, Taiping County, Anhui Province, he commanded the 19th Division to launch a fierce battle with enemies several times his own. The battle was very fierce. Xun Huaizhou personally took the battle and led a platoon to seize the commanding heights of Wuni Pass. Unfortunately, he was hit by a bullet and eventually died after bleeding too much.
The troops fighting against Xunhuaizhou were the first brigade of the Kuomintang army. The brigade commander was Wang Yaowu. After the war, Wang Yaowu was promoted to the commander of the 51st Division.
However, in 1948, his former chief of staff, Su Yu, has become the commander of the East China Field Army , commanding the huaye to capture Jinan City after 8 days of fierce fighting, and captured Wang Yaowu alive, which was considered to avenge him.
