An early amnesty was ordered for Kuomintang war criminal Wu Shaozhou, and the news spread throughout the country in 1952.
At that time, only a year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China was concentrating on solving the problems left by the old China, but the sudden outbreak of the Korean War forced China to enter the war.
While pondering the strategy of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, a Kuomintang war criminal who understood the tactics and equipment of the US military put forward two clever tactical suggestions.
These suggestions had a significant impact on the Volunteer Army, and after the situation on the battlefield was transmitted, ** greatly appreciated it, and specially approved the early release of Wu Shaozhou as a token of gratitude.
Because of his strategic strategy and the important role played by the volunteers in resisting the US army, Wu Shaozhou became the first Kuomintang meritorious war criminal released by our party.
So, what kind of clever tactics did Wu Shaozhou propose to make the Chinese Volunteers make a greater breakthrough?What kind of person is he that makes the President so admired?Wu Shaozhou is a famous anti-Japanese general who is determined to serve the country and has won the medal four times.
When he was young, Wu Shaozhou's family made a living from farming, and later cooperated with friends to run a small business, and gradually became wealthy.
However, the death of his mother at the age of 8 left the family in trouble.
This blow honed Wu Shaozhou and cultivated his tenacious character.
In the days when he was dependent on his stepmother, Wu Shaozhou received the care of his stepmother and began to receive education in his stepmother's home, and his grades have always been excellent.
Influenced by the "May Fourth Movement", he was determined to serve the country.
After several years of hard work, he has continued to study tactics, Xi command skills, and gain an in-depth understanding of the enemy's operational tactics and characteristics.Xi
On August 11, 1952, the Japanese army launched an attack on Nankou with the coordination of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade and the Itagaki Division, and Wu Shaozhou was ordered to defend Nankou.
Nankou has always been a very important place since ancient times, and is known as "the front door of Suicha, the back door of Pingjin, the throat of North China, and the henchman of western Hebei".
Therefore, the gains and losses of Nankou will directly affect the survival of North China and Northwest China, and will become the focus of contention between the Chinese and Japanese armies.
Under the fierce offensive of the Japanese air force and ground forces in concerted efforts and at all costs, the defenders put up desperate resistance and were almost completely annihilated.
The heroic feat of the anti-Japanese hero Wu Shaozhou led the remaining troops to retreat to the mountains on both sides in a critical situation, he was calm, brave and fearless, skillfully commanded, and also played a trick to deceive the enemy.
He personally made more than a dozen weather lights, which were released at the front of the position before dawn, according to the direction of the wind.
These lights pierced the darkness like meteors, making the Japanese army mistakenly think that it was a new **, and they hesitated, so they could only wait for the opportunity in the position.
Wu Shaozhou seized the opportunity and led the reserves to storm violently and successfully broke through.
Although the defenders had to withdraw at the end of August due to the lack of reinforcements, the southern entrance was lost.
But it was precisely because of Wu Shaozhou's composure and heroic resistance to the enemy that the Chinese national** awarded him the Order of Baoding of the fourth class in recognition of his perseverance in Nankou.
In April 1938, Wu Shaozhou was promoted to deputy division commander, and then bravely resisted the invaders and defended the country in the Battle of Taierzhuang.
In the heat of battle, he rushed into enemy positions and fought the enemy at any cost.
In 1940, he launched an offensive and successfully routed the main force of the Japanese 3rd Division and recaptured the important Takajo.
Then, in the fierce battle of Changlinggang, he successfully captured this strategic point for five days and five nights.
Due to his repeated miraculous achievements, Wu Shaozhou was awarded the Order of the Cloud Commander of the Third Class.
In April 1945, the Japanese army mobilized 100,000 troops in an attempt to sweep western Henan.
Wu Shaozhou successively blocked the Japanese army in Neixiang, Chongyangdian, Dingjiadian, Xixiakou and other places.
In the two battles of Xixiakou and Chongyangdian, he lured the enemy into depth, gathered and annihilated more than 2,000 Japanese troops, killed the commander of the column, captured more than 300 enemies, and captured a large amount of booty.
As a result, Wu Shaozhou was once again awarded the Order of the Cloud Commander of the Third Class and was quickly promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army.
In September 2015, Wu Shaozhou was posthumously awarded the "Medal for the 70th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression".
His outstanding performance in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression made him a veritable "anti-Japanese hero".
Although Wu Shaozhou performed well in the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was inevitable that there were ideological mistakes.
He once mistakenly believed that the Kuomintang could save China, and was quite loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.
Over time, however, after the death of Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek's power within the Kuomintang grew, contrary to its original purpose.
Chiang Kai-shek began to see the Chinese Communist Party as a thorn in his side, and the loyal Wu Shaozhou fought the Red Army on several occasions.
On December 13, 1948, the second phase of the Huaihai Campaign was nearing its end.
The Red Army's strategy to lure the enemy: the Kuomintang army was embarrassed The Kuomintang began to gain momentum, but this was only the Red Army's strategy to lure the enemy, and it was too late for Huang Wei to wake up, his corps was trapped in difficulty for nearly 20 days, and the various departments were hit by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and lost their positions one after another.
Huang Wei's troops realized that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly ordered a scattered retreat.
The soldiers split into three groups, each with a tank, and fled in a hurry.
At that time, Wu Shaozhou, as the deputy commander and commander of the 85th Army, had been fighting bravely with the soldiers to resist the Red Army on the front line, causing extremely heavy **.
He witnessed his superiors pretending to flee in order to protect themselves, and saw the battle between the two armies as an excellent opportunity to escape.
The Red Army's strategy to lure the enemy: The Kuomintang army was in a difficult and embarrassing situation, and the Kuomintang army had a strong momentum, but this was only a strategy of the Red Army to lure the enemy.
When Huang Wei woke up, it was too late, his corps was trapped in difficulties for nearly 20 days, and all units were hit hard by the PLA, and their positions were lost one after another.

After this rewriting, the expression of the article became more vivid and powerful, and the sense of urgency and intensity of the war was enhanced.
The surprise attack of the enemy by the Chinese volunteers at night was considered a very effective tactical strategy.
At night, due to the obstruction of the line of sight, it was difficult for the enemy to spot the Chinese volunteers on land, and the air force units stationed at the base could not be dispatched due to the loss of night vision, making it difficult to launch an effective attack.
This enabled the Chinese Volunteers to effectively evade the enemy's ground fire strikes and take advantage of the principle that the enemy is open and we are in the dark, and the enemy is tired and we are fighting.
However, night battles also put extremely high demands on the Chinese volunteer soldiers, because the view at night is blocked, and the adaptability and adaptability of the troops are crucial.
In order to cope with this situation, the Chinese volunteers trained day and night, so the soldiers invented the tactical principle of "three do not let go", that is: no gunshots, no bullet casings, no smoke.
On the other hand, the Chinese volunteers could approach the combat positions of the US army by digging tunnels and trenches, forcing the US army to engage in close combat with our army at night, effectively making up for the shortcomings of our army in the offensive.
Close blasting and surprise attacks can be carried out when approaching U.S. forces.
Because the U.S. military's aerial aircraft and long-range artillery had a blocked line of sight at night and were unable to accurately hit targets, this allowed the Chinese volunteers to avoid many injuries.
At the same time, the close-range hand-to-hand tactics can create the effect of mutual melee, so that the US military is afraid of accidentally injuring its own people, and does not dare to easily ** or suppress firepower.
In close combat, the US military's high-range rifles with a long range cannot play a comparative advantage.
To sum up, these two tactics of exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses are very ingenious, and ** I was amazed by them after reading them.
In October 1952, Wu Shaozhou bid farewell to Gongdelin, who held prisoners, walked out of the door slowly, bid farewell to the "fellow inmates" who reformed and educated with him, and started a new life.
After being released from captivity, he was assigned to work in Changsha until 1966, when Wu Shaozhou died of illness in Changsha at the age of 64.
