In 1970, Lieutenant General Wen Yucheng, commander of the Beijing Garrison, was transferred to the Guangzhou Military Region, leaving a remarkable vacancy. The successor to this position was a legendary figure who had joined the Red Army at a young age, and he was Wu Zhong, who was born in Cangxi, Sichuan.
Wu Zhong's childhood was not wealthy, but his fate came to an abrupt end when he was attacked by bandits. At the age of 12, the Red Army stepped into his hometown, and he resolutely signed up for the army and began his legendary red journey. In the anti-"three-way siege" and anti-"six-way siege", he showed extraordinary courage, especially in the battle of Huangmaoya, the soldiers who led the charge were seriously wounded, but fortunately they were treated in time to save their lives.
After the end of the Long March, Wu Zhong entered the Xi of Kang University. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he joined the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, accumulated outstanding combat exploits in many operations, and was finally promoted to the combat staff officer of the Eighth Regiment of the Third Brigade.
At the beginning of August 1942, Wu Zhong was faced with the arduous task of uprooting the Xulou stronghold wedged into the Kunzhang base area. This stronghold was garrisoned by 500 puppet troops, well-armed and likely supported by Japanese troops. Although the 8th Regiment was superior in strength, it lacked artillery support. After careful consideration, Wu Zhong decided to adopt the tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and chose to set up an ambush at Jingyanggang.
The terrain of Jingyanggang is dangerous, and it is the only place for the Xulou stronghold to lead to Yanggu County. Taking advantage of the terrain, Wu Zhong formulated a detailed battle plan, with the regiment commander leading part of the company to surround Xulou, while he led the rest of the troops to lay an ambush at Jingyanggang, preparing to destroy the Japanese troops who came to reinforce them.
On August 5, the regiment commander successfully surrounded the Xulou stronghold, and the puppet army hurriedly asked for help from the Japanese army in Yanggu County. Soon, the Japanese army and the puppet army began to come to reinforcements. Wu Zhong decided to adopt a strange "millet tactic" and ambushed the Japanese army in the valley. The Japanese army was helpless in the unfamiliar terrain, entangled in millet and thrown into chaos, and was finally successfully annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.
The Jingyanggang ambush became one of Wu Zhong's masterpieces, and he also won the reputation of "millet tactics". After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he also participated in the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and made more achievements. In 1955, at the age of 34, Wu Zhong was awarded the rank of major general, becoming the youngest founding major general.
In 1970, Marshal ** strongly recommended Wu Zhong to succeed Wen Yucheng as the commander of the Beijing Garrison. Six years later, Wu Zhong participated in the arrest of the "Gang of Four" and made great contributions to the country. In September 1977, Wu Zhong was transferred to the deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region and participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. However, the impermanence of fate led to his tragic death in a car accident in 1990 at the age of 69.
Wu Zhong's life was full of ups and downs, from a teenager with an unfair fate to an outstanding military leader, he left a glorious life, becoming an eternal symbol of the red legend.
Wu Zhong, a legendary figure in the history of Chinese affairs, has experienced ups and downs in his life, showing tenacity, wisdom and extraordinary leadership. His story inspires us and touches the hearts of every reader.
First of all, Wu Zhong joined the Red Army at a young age and showed extraordinary courage and determination. At the age of 12, he was robbed by bandits, and his fate seemed to be on a road of no return, however, he chose to resolutely join the Red Army, a decision that changed his life. This courage and determination were also reflected in the later battles, especially in the battle of Huangmaoya, even though he was seriously wounded, he still insisted on charging, showing his tenacious will to defy hardships and dangers and fearless enemies.
Secondly, Wu Zhong's wisdom and military vision on the battlefield are admirable. In the face of the Xulou stronghold wedged into the Kunzhang base area, he did not take a strong attack, but calmly analyzed the situation, used the tactic of "encircling the point to send reinforcements", selected Jingyanggang to set up an ambush, and finally succeeded in luring the enemy into the depths, winning more with less, which can be called a classic move in military tactics. This kind of military strategy and tactical vision won him the reputation of "millet tactics" and became a model for future generations to learn from Xi.
In addition, Wu Zhong spanned the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in his life, and made great achievements. He fought tirelessly and made a great contribution to the liberation and peace of the country. From an ordinary soldier to becoming the founding major general, he used practical actions to interpret the pride and ambition of "youth lives up to the pure heart, and blood still exists to serve the country".
Finally, Wu Zhong's performance as commander of the Beijing Garrison is even more memorable. He participated in the arrest of the "Gang of Four" for six years, made a great contribution to the country's political stability, and demonstrated a firm political stance and superb military leadership.
Overall, Wu Zhong, a red legend, is not only a brave warrior, but also a wise military strategist, who has written his own legend with a lifetime of perseverance and struggle. His story inspires us and inspires everyone who pursues their dreams and goals. His life is full of legends and is an eternal example in the history of Chinese affairs.
