Jinggangshan is the remnant of the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by *** and the remnant of the Nanchang Uprising led by Mr. Zhu.
Coincidentally, at the most difficult time, these two troops only had about 800 people left, which can be called the "800 heroes" in the history of our army. So, among these two teams of "800 heroes", who later came out with more founding generals and higher quality?
First of all, let's take a look at the more than 800 people in the Nanchang Uprising led by Mr. Zhu.
After the defeat of the Nanchang Uprising, the rebel troops were divided in Sanheba, and the main force was led by Ye Ting, who continued to go south and participated in the Guangzhou Uprising, which later fell apart.
At first, there were more than 3,000 people in this army, but after several battles, they died and fled, and in the end there were only more than 800 people left, and the future was bleak, and few people could see hope.
At this time, Mr. Zhu stood up and said:"The Great Revolution has failed, and our rebel army has also failed, but we still want to make a revolution!Comrades, if you want to be revolutionary, follow me, and if you are not revolutionary, you can go home, not reluctantly. ”
Mr. Zhu also gave an example of the revolution to encourage everyone to say:"Comrades, it is true that the revolution is now in danger of defeat, but we must not be discouraged and still have the conviction that the revolution will win in the end!Everyone knows about the Russian Revolution, and in 1905 they were in a desperate situation of defeat like we have today, but what happened later?In 1917 they finally achieved a great victory in all respects!It even affects the whole world, it affects China!We must also firmly believe that we too can have the complete victory of the Chinese revolution in 1917!”
Many years later, Su Yu, who was present at the time, recalled:Mr. Zhu's speech was like a cloud, which made everyone's gloomy heart clear all of a sudden. ”
So, which of the founding generals did these more than 800 people come out later?
Although there are not many people, only 4, but all of them are well-known and hard, and any name is enough to shock the world!
The first one, of course, is Mr. Zhu, who later led this army to Jinggangshan and created the Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army together with ***, successively served as the commander of the Fourth Army, the commander of the Red First Army, the commander-in-chief of the Red First Army, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and the commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army.
The second is Mr. Chen, whose position in this army at that time was second only to Mr. Zhu, who made indelible contributions to keeping the fire of these 800 people, and later served as the commander of the New Fourth Army and the commander of the Third Field Army, and became the leader of the army of hundreds of thousands, Chiang Kai-shek once commented:"Now the bandit army in the pass can be divided into five parts, namely, ** department, ** department, Chen Geng department, ** department, ** department. Among these five parts, as far as I can observe, the first one is the most tenacious, the most well-trained, the most subterfuge, and the most difficult to purge. ”
The third place is **, at that time was only a company commander, but later became the founding marshal with the most commanders, the most famous military achievements, and the most famous, successively served as the commander of the Red Fourth Army, the commander of the Red First Army, the commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the commander of the Fourth Field Army, leading the Four Field Army to defeat half of China.
The fourth place was Su Yu, who was lower than ** at that time, just a squad leader, but no one could have imagined that it was this thin, small, and taciturn squad leader who was able to lead hundreds of thousands of troops and make the first contribution in the Huaihai Campaign!
To sum up, this army has produced a total of 3 marshals and 1 general, although the number is not much, but the quality is very high, even if you look at the entire history of China, there are few people who can compare with them.
Let's take a look at the 800 people in the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by ***.
At the time of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, this force numbered more than 5,000 people, but due to the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, it experienced several defeats and its number was sharply reduced, and only less than 1,000 remained.
**In order to boost morale and rectify the troops, it was decided to reorganize Sanwan Village in Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province, and made a speech to everyone"**I started with two kitchen knives in my hometown, and now I am a military commander, what are we afraid of with nearly a thousand people?Everyone has revolted and rioted, one person can be 10 enemies, 10 warriors can be 100 enemies, what's so scary?Without setbacks and failures, the revolution would not have succeeded!”
** Like Mr. Zhu's approach, those who are willing to continue the revolution are welcomed, those who are not willing to revolution, and they are not forced, they can leave at any time, and in the end, there are less than 800 people left in the army, which has become the spark of the first start.
So, how many founding generals came out of less than 800 people?
In terms of numbers, there are more than Mr. Zhu's side, with a total of 17, including 1 marshal, 1 general, 5 generals, 7 lieutenant generals, and 3 major generals.
The marshal was *** at that time, and was serving as a party representative of the spy company.
Among the top ten marshals, ** was the first to follow***, and they also supported *** from beginning to end, and other marshals, including Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, Mr. Chen and others, have all opposed *** Only *** has never questioned *** said:"The only people I've worked with all my life are ***
General Tan Zheng, because of his high level of education, became the first secretary of the army, under the cultivation of the army, Tan Zheng became an outstanding representative of our army in political work, served as the director of the Political Department of the Fourth Field Army, the director of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, and was awarded the rank of general in 1955.
In addition, there are 5 generals: Zhang Zongxun, Song Renqiang, Chen Shiyu, Chen Bojun, Huang Yongsheng, 7 lieutenant generals: Tan Xilin, Liu Xiansheng, Zhang Lingbin, Yang Meisheng, Guo Peng, Han Wei, Lai Yi, and 3 major generals: Long Kaifu, Yu Guangwen, Wang Yaonan.
From this point of view, the quality of Mr. Zhu's side is higher, and the number of people on the *** side is more, and they are all indispensable outstanding talents in our army.
