Since 1931, the Japanese army invaded China, and the Chinese people bravely resisted and fought the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression for 14 years. The Japanese army carried out a large-scale sweep against the Japanese base areas, and if they continued to defend it, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses, and one unit decided to break through the encirclement, perhaps to gain a glimmer of hope. The fierce battle soon began, and the soldiers of the machine gun squad were unfortunately hit by shells, and the whole squad was extremely heavy, without the cover of the machine gun, it was not easy to rush out!At the last moment, a thin little soldier stood up, and someone recognized him as a little comrade who was cooking in the cooking class, and was still muttering in his heart whether he had heard it wrong, how could he use a machine gun to cook!And he, neatly picked up the machine gun, skillfully inspected the gun, and then resolutely fired at the enemy ......
A scholar from Rong and many generals and soldiers are different, this white scholar was not born in a poor family, on the contrary, the family background is still relatively solid, born in 1921 in Taigu County, Shanxi, Shanxi is famous is the Jin businessman, his father is also a local famous Jin businessman, the family does not worry about food and clothing, his father hopes that he can inherit this family business as a businessman when he grows up, and his life is stable. Maybe it is providence, he has lived a comfortable life since he was a child, and he has not developed a loose character, but has great ambitions, maybe the troubled times are destined to create such a hero, so when he was a teenager, he gave up the road of inheriting the family business, and resolutely decided to realize his ambitions, joined the vanguard of the liberation of the Chinese nation, and began his army life. 
This young man with great ambitions is Wu Xiaomin, he studied in a well-known university in Taiyuan since he was a child, and the concept he accepted since he was a child is to inherit the family business when he grows up, and he studies in order to get rich, until he goes to school, Wu Xiaomin participated in the school book club under the influence of the advanced ideas of teachers and classmates, and came into contact with the books of those progressive thinkers and newspapers and periodicals that propagated new ideas at that time, and the seeds of revolution took root and sprouted in his heart, and the revolutionary ideas became more and more intense in his heart. He joined the vanguard of the liberation of the Chinese nation while still studying in school, and then participated in the demonstrations of ***, when the Japanese army entered Shanxi in 1937, he did not hide with other classmates, but hoped to put his blood into the battlefield to resist foreign aggression. 
When the recruits enlisted in the army, Wu Xiaomin, who was full of scholarly atmosphere, looked white and clean, and wore a pair of thick myopia glasses, looking weak, without the momentum of being able to fight, so the commander was not optimistic about him, and after watching for a long time, he decided to arrange him to the cooking class, although Wu Xiaomin was bent on going to the front line to fight, but after such an arrangement, he also accepted the arrangement, you know, it is difficult to have the opportunity to go to the front line to fight when transferred to the cooking class, and the promotion is also very slow, but how can people with big ambitions easily give up their ambitions？Wu Xiaomin soon got acquainted with the squad leader of the machine gun squad, Wu Xiaomin was in the cooking class, and his next door happened to be the machine gun squad, every time Wu Xiaomin finished his work, he ran to the machine gun squad, and followed the comrades of the machine gun company to learn machine gun operation, and the most feared thing for cultural people was to learn, and soon, Wu Xiaomin also learned to operate the machine gun. 
Opportunities are for those who are prepared, Wu Xiaomin, who has slowly accumulated, finally waited for this opportunity, that breakthrough, the enemy's shells fell on the place where the machine gunners were, the machine gunners in the class suffered heavy casualties, the machine guns were also blown up, and the comrades without the cover of the machine guns soon did not resist the fierce artillery fire of the enemy, the morale of the Japanese army was greatly boosted, and they quickly rushed over, and the company commander shouted urgently: "Who will fight machine guns!.""I will!In the chaos, a voice was clear and firm, only to see Wu Xiaomin neatly pick up the machine gun, troubleshoot it in a few clicks, and did not show any fear in the face of the rushing Japanese army, picked up the machine gun and shot at the opposite side. After this battle, the company commander was impressed by the thin soldier in the cooking squad, and directly made Wu Xiaomin the squad leader. Later, for more than a month, when the Japanese army was ambushed in Wenshui County, Wu Xiaomin, who was the squad leader, took the lead and led the whole squad to rush forward, cut the enemy's troops into two sections, and fought desperately with the enemy to seize the commanding heights ......In the night, I couldn't see everyone's face clearly, the Japanese offensive was very fierce, and in a series of firelights, there were reflections from time to time, and the company commander knew that it was the glasses worn by Wu Xiaomin that were reflecting. After the successful withdrawal of the army, in order to reward this brave soldier, the company commander immediately reported to his superiors, so Wu Xiaomin was promoted two levels in a month and became the deputy platoon commander, which can be called a model among the student soldiers!
The real-life version of "Zhao Gang" Wu Xiaomin is daring to fight more and more, and he has been in charge of political work at the grassroots level for the first eight years of joining the army, and he has spent eight years becoming a model cadre of the Taiyue Military Region. More importantly, Wu Xiaomin, who is good at political work, won the first place in all the subjects he participated in in the big martial arts competition organized by the Taiyue Military Region!Although a lot of achievements have been made, but Wu Xiaomin still wants to go to a stronger army to fight a tough battle, for which he has been preparing, luck is also for capable people, in 1944, Wu Xiaomin suddenly received a task, to go to another regiment as the director of the political department, Wu Xiaomin was still an instructor at that time, and suddenly received such an order very excited, mainly because the regiment he was about to go to was a unit that made the Japanese invaders frightened when they heard the name, and the regiment commander was also a very famous Chu Daming. 
Do you still remember Zhao Gang in the TV series "Bright Sword", when Zhao Gang arrived at the independent regiment at the beginning, Li Yunlong, as the head of the regiment, still looked down on him, and felt that Zhao Gang was a "white-faced talent", and he wouldn't even let him drink!But Zhao Gang replied to Li Yunlong very toughly: "The troops are here to fight, not to collect wine bags and rice bags!."One sentence instantly made Li Yunlong's opinion of Zhao Gang change slightly. And Wu Xiaomin is the same, when he first met Chu Daming, the person Chu Daming saw was a scholar with thick myopia glasses and a thin and small look, and he also looked down on Wu Xiaomin, thinking that he was not competent, and Wu Xiaomin made a group of people change their opinion of himself that night, and directly led people to copy a small turret of the devil and annihilate the opponent's team!In the subsequent relationship, Wu Xiaomin won the respect of the people around him by virtue of his cultivation, and it didn't take long for Chu Daming's opinion of Wu Xiaomin to completely change. Even Chu Daming personally approached his superiors, saying that no one was more suitable to be a political commissar than Wu Xiaomin, and asked Wu Xiaomin to be his partner. Later, Wu Xiaomin became a political commissar, and cooperated tacitly with the head of the regiment, Chu Daming, and made many military exploits, and the two became "model partners". 
Compared with Wu Xiaomin's combat peak, the aforementioned things can be regarded as drizzle. Wu Xiaomin's most brilliant record is probably the total annihilation of the "No. 1 Brigade in the World". This "No. 1 Brigade in the World" is not small just by listening to the name. This is the first brigade of the first division of the elite troops of Chiang Kai-shek's descendant, Hu Zongnan, that is, Chiang Kai-shek's alert troops. It may not be possible to show its greatness in saying this, so let's introduce it like this: Its brigade commander, Huang Zhengcheng, once studied in Germany, during which he lived in the Hitler Military School, and the whole unit was trained in the German style, equipped with American-style equipment, well-trained, and strong in combat effectiveness, so it has the title of "Chiang's Imperial Forest Army" and "the first brigade in the world", and can be regarded as the trump card unit of Chiang Kai-shek's trump card!
In 1946, when the Battle of Linfen began, the regiment commander Chu Daming was seriously wounded in a battle and was hospitalized for treatment. Can a political commissar command the troops?Many people have raised doubts, believing that political commissars are doing political work, and whether it is possible to command troops to fightIn the face of questioning words, Wu Xiaomin did not get angry, but silently proved his ability with actions. Wu Xiaomin led the army to Chenyan Village, and when he reached the high slope, he used a telescope to observe the enemy's situation, and the dust in front of him was the loess raised by the troops, and Huang Zhengcheng wanted to rely on the village to do the defense, Wu Xiaomin commanded the troops to attack and surround in an orderly manner according to the plan made before, and first entered the first battalion in the village and captured more than 200 prisoners alive!
The fierce struggle soon began, our army under the command of Wu Xiaomin attacked fiercely, the enemy army was defeated and retreated, when the enemy tried to break through from the southwest pass, it was cut off by the three battalions, and the enemy army retreated back into the courtyard, making the last struggle. The battle continued, and at four o'clock in the morning, the sound of charges, gunfire, and ** sounded all over the place, and the enemy had no way to retreat!The enemy who had fled to the cave covered himself with a low wall, and a squad of our fighters rushed in under the cover of their comrades, throwing bombs into it while shouting: "Surrender your guns, surrender quickly, and leave you alive!"Seeing that the enemy could no longer hold on, but the opponent's grenades were still being thrown in this direction one by one, they shouted in fright: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, we surrender!"."The guns were thrown out one by one, and the enemies came out one after another with their hands raised, and then several soldiers hiding in the caves also followed, standing in the courtyard one by one, and there were more than a hundred people!One of them, although standing at the end, was very conspicuous, wearing a soldier's coat on the upper body, but wearing yellow breeches, black leather boots, burly and wearing glasses, such a strange person is too conspicuous in the crowd, under Wu Xiaomin's questioning, he still loosened his mouth and admitted that he was Huang Zhengcheng, I wanted to change into a soldier's clothes, and the target was not obvious and I could take the opportunity to escape, who would have thought that I would be arrested just after changing into a shirt. 
Now there is no face, and he simply doesn't care so much, Huang Zhengcheng took off his shirt and said confidently: "We can't be considered defeated, obviously you took advantage of our unpreparedness to sneak attack us, which violates the rules of war!."As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help laughing, this ** is still like a** saying it, soldiers are not tired of cheating, this is a truth that has existed since ancient times!Whoever fights a war is not always vigilant, but blames others. After this battle, Wu Xiaomin captured a lot of enemy troops, collected a lot of military supplies, Wu Xiaomin also became famous, and was highly praised!The soldiers below were also convinced by this political commissar, and admired this usually weak political commissar very much. Soon after, Wu Xiaomin was promoted to regiment commander, which also meant that he was transferred from the previous political cadre to a military cadre.
Many years later, when Wu Xiaomin's guards mentioned Wu Xiaomin, they all said: "The regiment commander fought very bravely, and he didn't think about anything when he started fighting, so he thought about rushing forward, and he was not afraid of danger at all." If someone is looking for him, he doesn't have to come to the command post, but goes directly to the place where the battle is most intense, and he will definitely be able to find him!And every time he rushes to ** when he is needed, a few of our guards can't stop him!In Wu Xiaomin's more than ten years of combat career, he led the troops to be invincible, and many big battles and vicious battles have come over. Even the veterans under him said that he was often able to win battles with General Wu Xiaomin, and rarely suffered defeat, and he would rush to the forefront in every battle, leading his soldiers to complete every mission together. The troops he brought out have also become the main force that has always been strong!
Wu Xiaomin is a cautious person, he will never use troops casually, he must analyze in advance, and he will not let every soldier lose his life in vain, although he is cautious but also decisive, once he seizes the opportunity, he will not miss it, therefore, he is not only a good political commissar who is good at doing ideological work, but also a very good commander. He can not only go to the battlefield, but also build good relationships with people in private, and get along very well with colleagues and comrades-in-arms. Years of military life have transformed him from a weak scholar to a general, and he has well shifted from the political aspect to the military aspect. Wu Xiaomin fought in many battles throughout his life, such as the Huaihai Campaign and the liberation of Xishuangbanna, and General Wu Xiaomin also fought in the Vietnam and Korean battlefields. In 1949, Wu Xiaomin was awarded the title of "Battle Hero". In 1955, Wu Xiaomin was awarded the rank of colonel, and in 1964, he was promoted to major general.
The only time he returned to his hometown is said that the ancestor of General Wu Xiaomin was still a talent in Jiangsu, because he became an official in Shanxi because of his fame, and the family tree was lost in the war, so the truth is unknown. The father is a shopkeeper in the local ticket number, and also runs a small pawnshop, so the family is also good, and the purchase of a house in Caozhuang Village is also considered to be magnificent in the local area, and the father also knows some medical skills, and often sees a doctor for the villagers for free, and everyone praises the Wu family in the village. It's just that now, many years have passed, almost no one knows what General Wu Xiaomin's family background is, and most of the elderly people in the village moved here after the liberation of the country, and most of what they know is some rumors they heard when they were children, and Wu Guicheng, the only "hair small" general in the village, has also passed away, and many things are unknown.
The old mansion of the Wu family is still there, but the owner has long since changed, and the old mansion has now been submerged among the surrounding red tile houses, surrounded by Jinzhong houses with local characteristics. What is the family background of the Wu family, you can also guess one or two by looking at the appearance of this house, only the courtyard wall is 3.5 meters high, which is comparable to ordinary people, the stone carvings scattered outside the courtyard are still clear, and the structure of the house is also a unique style in the Qing Dynasty, revealing the glory of the owner of this house everywhere. But after all, the age is a long time ago, the courtyard has been overgrown with half-human-high artemisia grass, and the wings on the east and west sides have also collapsed for a long time, only the main house is still standing in **. According to local staff, it was registered as early as 2010 during the census of revolutionary sites, but the protection of antiquities needs to be cautious, so the protection work is still relatively slow, but the relevant departments have been called on to protect it. The local party branch secretary said: "General Wu Xiaomin joined the army as early as his teens, and he has been fighting abroad all the year round, and he has only returned once after the liberation of the country, so few people in the village know about him." ”
Conscientious and dedicated his life, Wu Xiaomin also has another special title "revolutionary martyr", although he is called a "revolutionary martyr", but he did not die on the battlefield, but fell tired on the job. survived the battlefield of nine deaths, but dedicated his life to the cause for which he fought all his life. It was 1997, Wu Xiaomin had already sat in the high position of deputy commander, although the position was high, but he did everything himself, personally led the troops to carry out training and training, it was really a great ability and a big responsibility, this side was not over, and the other side sent an urgent task, Wu Xiaomin could only rush back to the military region overnight, and suddenly felt a severe pain in his chest, and his anxious wife was about to call a doctor when she saw this, but was stopped by Wu Xiaomin, and the exit was concerned about others:" It's already the middle of the night, everyone is resting and it's raining, don't bother the doctor, maybe it's a stomach problem, eat something first, and it will be fine in a while. ”
The wife also remembered that she had had a physical examination not long ago, and no symptoms were found, so she no longer insisted on going to the doctor. Wu Xiaomin ate a biscuit and curled up on the bed, which somehow caused a myocardial infarction, and he suddenly sweated profusely, and people couldn't speak. After the doctor hurriedly came, it was an injection and a compression, but there was no effect, and Commander Zeng, who heard the news, came in the middle of the night and ordered to continue the rescue. Yet, an hour had passed, and the doctor came out with his head hanging down, shaking his head in disappointment. At the age of 56, another talented man left forever.
After the news of Wu Xiaomin's death reached Xiao Wangdong, the political commissar of the Jinan Military Region, everyone was extremely sad, Xiao Wangdong sighed: "He is still so young, we have always treated him as a strong man, wherever he needs him, he will go to help, he is tired to death!."It's a pity!What a pity!”
