It has been 67 years since the seal of 1955, and most of the founding generals have already passed away. Now, only five of them are still alive. The youngest 100 years old and the oldest 1 10 years old.
Let me introduce the five surviving founding generals first.
1 is Zhang.
Zhang was born in a poor peasant family in Fujian, but his family has been struggling with food and clothing.
It was not until one day, when he took part in the autumn harvest uprising and went to Jinggangshan, that Zhang Xiongcai realized that they could not change the status quo of hunger and cold without establishing a political power belonging to the people.
193 1 year, Zhang became party member at the age of 18. 1932, the Red Army came to Zhang's hometown to recruit soldiers, and Zhang signed up as a Red Army soldier at 1, from which his magnificent military career began.
Zhang is a recruit, but he is an old party member. With his active and brave fighting, it only took him two years to become the director of the Political Department of the Communist Youth League. His life was in danger several times, and death passed him by.
1 is the Xiangjiang Campaign. After the failure of the fifth counter-campaign against encirclement and suppression, the Red Army had to make a strategic shift, thus opening the prelude to the Great Long March.
The first fierce battle of the Long March was to cross the Xiangjiang River (80,000 people went out and 50,000 people stayed in the Xiangjiang River). Because of Li De's command, the Red Army carried almost all the pots and pans in the base area on its back, which greatly affected the speed of the Red Army.
The Red Fifth Army, which served as the defender of the Red Army in the Xiangjiang Campaign, suffered great losses. The Red 34th Division where General Zhang was located was the defender of the Red Fifth Army. It can be said that he is the defender of the Red Army's central defender, and the battle is fierce, which is basically a narrow escape.
In order to protect the large troops from crossing the river smoothly, the Red Fifth Army and the Red Thirty-fourth Division, which are several times their own, were firmly nailed to the position like nails.
In this battle between steel and steel will, the Red 34th Division paid a very painful price, and the organizational system of the troops was paralyzed, almost completely annihilated.
After their teacher, Comrade Chen Shuxiang, was wounded and captured, he broke his intestines from the abdominal wound with his hands on a stretcher and died heroically at the age of 29.
The thirty-fourth division suffered heavy losses, and only a few people, such as Zhang, broke through and caught up with the main force!
The second time I passed death was in the Western Expedition-this is the eternal pain in many people's hearts.
General Zhang took part in a bloody battle. 1937 after the capture of warlord Gao Tai by the marked army, Ma Jiajun immediately mobilized a large number of troops to fight back against our army. Ma Jiajun was a feudal army linked by clan and religion, and the soldiers in the army worked for officers for generations. It can be said that they only have a master in their eyes, have a strong sense of local culture, and the army is extremely cruel.
There are many times more people in Ma Jiajun than me. Although Wu Gong's army fought bloody battles, it was almost wiped out because it was outnumbered. Zhang was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was treated by the masses before passing death by.
It can be said that during the Agrarian Revolution, Zhang almost experienced some of the worst battles in the history of the Red Army, and these experiences became an inexhaustible treasure house in his military career. In the War of Liberation, he participated in the Huaihai Campaign and the breakthrough of the Central Plains. 1955 awarded the rank of senior colonel, 196 1 promoted to major general.
After retiring, General Zhang was not idle. Even on 20 19 and 10 and 106, General Zhang is still struggling to help Wushu enter the Olympic Games.
Second, General Tu, the father of neurosurgery in China.
The old general and General Zhang are fellow villagers in Fujian. Slightly different, General Zhang is an invincible warrior, while General Tu is Napoleon on the operating table.
1932 joined the red army and was assigned to work in the health corps because of academic qualifications. Because of his excellent work, he was quickly recommended to a health school for further study ... The old general became a military doctor.
After a long March of 25,000 Li in purgatory, General Tu entered China Medical University and became the attending doctor of Yan 'an Peace Hospital, which was an important change in his life, where he completed the transformation from an ordinary doctor to a surgeon.
During the war years, the conditions of surgeons were very difficult, and it was normal to lack medical care and medicine. Even under such difficult conditions, Tu Tong made every effort to help his comrades alleviate their pain.
During this period, he gradually became the pillar of our military medical and health care.
During the War of Liberation, he was sent to participate in the liberation of Northeast China, and participated in the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign.
During the Liaoshen Campaign, he directed the deployment of medical treatment for 60,000 wounded people, ensuring a 70% treatment rate!
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Tu Jintong was recommended to study in the Soviet Union. In the Soviet Union, when he was introduced as a hero of the Red Army's Long March by the Soviets, the audience applauded warmly, which made General Tu Jintong proud.
He studied neurosurgery in the Soviet Union, which is a completely unfamiliar field for Tu Jintong. However, with years of practical experience and the spirit of hard study, General Tu Jintong, who was only 4 1 year old, successfully overcame many difficult problems in neurosurgery.
After returning home, he and his comrades founded the earliest neurosurgery in China. It is no exaggeration to say that the old general is the father of neurosurgery in China. Comrade Tu was awarded the rank of senior colonel in 1955 and was promoted to 1964.
The third general of literary attack
General Wen Jian is different from the first two generals. He did not take part in the agrarian revolution, but he joined our army during the Anti-Japanese War.
Because of his fierce fighting and flexible mind, Nie Shuai became the political commissar of the artillery battalion directly under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and since then he has forged an indissoluble bond with the artillery (at that time, the artillery was a scarce technical arm, which was extremely precious)
In the War of Liberation, he witnessed the changes of our Northeast Field Army artillery from small to large and from weak to strong.
1950 When the Korean War broke out, the old general was ordered to cross the Yalu River as the commander of the First Artillery Division of the Volunteers. Played a huge role in the Yunshan campaign.
Although the US military has a large number of tanks, it never occurred to them that China people dare to arrange their artillery positions only three or four hundred meters away from their tanks.
At this distance, the China artillery gave a hard lesson to the US military, and almost every tank was hit by 30 shells. After the war, a captured American company commander said that China's firepower was not so fierce at first, and they must have a lot of artillery.
General Wen Jian said with a smile: Our soldiers are brave, but our artillery is much less than your's ... Our artillery knows how to maximize the power of artillery. You'll think that China's cannons are everywhere.
General Moon Hee was awarded the rank of senior colonel on 1955 and promoted to the rank of major general on 1964.
The fourth is General Yang.
He is one of the youngest generals in our country. General Yang participated in the third, fourth and fifth counter-campaigns against "encirclement and suppression" and was a witness to the Red Army's Long March.
Influenced by the war, Yang grew from a little doll to a qualified people's soldier. During the War of Liberation, Yang, who was only in his twenties, became the political commissar of the Fourth Field Army Chariot Division.
At that time, the chariot army was still a baby and could become the chief officer of this army. Yang's military and political talents can be seen.
It can also be seen that several coaches of the Fourth Field Army at that time trusted and loved this young man.
1955, the old general was awarded the rank of major general, the only living founding general who was awarded the rank of general in 55 years.
The fifth general, Wang Fuzhi.
1935, old general 12 years old. He told the Red Army that he was 17 years old by virtue of his height of 1.6 meters. He successfully deceived the recruits and became a member of the Youth Camp of the Red 26th Army.
The oldest child in this camp is only 17 years old, usually 15 or 16 years old, but like General Wang Fuzhi, it is only 12 years old.
Although he had become a Red Army soldier, Wang Fuzhi was only assigned a spear because of the lack of guns at that time. As for guns, they have to be seized on the battlefield.
1 June, 935 1 day In the battle with the Kuomintang Division 1 10, Wang Fuzhi successfully captured the enemy and seized1gun.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wang Fuzhi entered the DPRK as a deputy division commander.
1952, the old general was ordered to be stationed in the position east of Linjin River. The US military fired numerous heavy artillery shells here, and the huge stones on the positions were blown to powder.
A shell hit Wang Fuzhi's cave, and he and seven people were buried in the cave. Four comrades-in-arms died on the spot, and Fuzhi Wang lost consciousness.
After waking up, it took him and two other surviving soldiers three hours to climb out of the mound.
The great crisis is still with them, because they are trapped in the cave and isolated from the world. No one has found out how loud it is, and the comrades outside the cave know nothing about their situation. ...
After learning that Wang Fuzhi and others had lost contact with the headquarters, Mr. Peng immediately ordered the rescue of Wang Fuzhi and others at all costs. After engineers fought for more than 30 hours, Fuzhi Wang saw the light of day again.
The old general recalled: "If two flies didn't fly out of the hole, my life would be finished." In this respect, the old general has never harmed flies. General Wang Fuzhi was promoted to major general on 1964.
During the war years, they were willing to shed blood and sacrifice, which contributed to the present and benefited the future. In peacetime, they are the protectors and guarantees of the peaceful rise of the Chinese nation. Without the great sacrifices made by these founding generals, there would be no Longteng today.
