As a soldier, he is decisive in killing and has great achievements, but he is also known as the "benevolent".
On the bloody battlefield, what is the friend of "benevolence"?But he was invincible because of his "benevolence", which has to start after the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising in 1927......
In 1927, after the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, ** followed the Red Fourth Division to Huaxian County, Guangzhou.
The landlords and local tyrants in this area made waves, drove the militia to besiege the Red Fourth Division every day, calling for wind and rain, firing cold guns, and oppressing the people, doing all kinds of evil.
The army sent troops to fight, they ran away, and after a while they turned back, like a swarm of nasty flies, surrounding Huaxian County day and night, making people panic, eating and sleeping peacelessly.
The party representative of the 14th Regiment took the initiative to ask for battle, led a company, and went out of the county seat.
Coincidentally, a group of militias besieged it again, and said to the soldiers:"Chase!, to deal with this group of things, you have to be like a dog, not a single step back, chasing fiercely!As he spoke, he took the lead and pursued after him.
The militia fled in panic, and ** led the soldiers to chase closely until they reached the foot of Elephant Mountain on the outskirts of the city, where ** met his classmate Cheng Zihua at the Wuhan Military Academy.
Cheng Zihua was very excited to see ***, he said:"Forward, the militias are too annoying, like a pack of mad dogs, and they are harder to fight than the regular troops. ”
And Cheng Zihua's tactic was to retreat as advance, so the militia was even more arrogant, and in order to repel the militia, he also sacrificed many Red Army soldiers.
For this *** said: ".You beat them with dogs. ”
After hearing this, the fighters thought that *** was joking at first, but *** said seriously: ".You've never seen a beggar beat a dog in the country!Some people, with a stick, beat and retreat, the dog always chased and bitten, and some people, holding a stick, met up, chased the dog and beat it, and the dog ran away. ”
A popular analogy, the soldiers all understood, enlightened, and praised the wisdom and strategy of ***.
In the evening, the arrogant and domineering militia came to attack again, the Red Army soldiers chased and beat fiercely, according to the "dog fighting tactics" they chased while fighting, the militia saw that today's Red Army seemed to be as high as chicken blood, suddenly timid, retreated again and again, and as the party representative of the 14th regiment, *** led the Red Army soldiers to chase and kill at the front of the troops, he ran while saying in his mouth:"Comrades, we will beat them like dogs, so that they will not dare to make waves again in the future!”In the end, the militia was also beaten and fled, and the Red Army soldiers finally subdued the mad dog-like militia under the command of ***.
**'s friend Cheng Zihua was even more impressed with him and praised him again and again.
Two days later, when the Red Army set out from Huaxian to the Dongjiang River, the militia groups in the villages along the way not only did not dare to disturb it, but also inserted wooden signs on the edge of the villages, with the words "Welcome to the border, welcome to the crossing."
From then on, in the 4th Division of the Red Army, the name of "*", along with his "dog-fighting tactics", spread among the army.
**This party representative, who is not good at talking, with his courage, talent and wisdom, rose to prominence and won the love of the cadres and the common people and the soldiers.
And *** in this "dog fighting tactics", it is the Red Army soldiers "love soldiers, use soldiers", is the so-called "soldiers for the confidant to die" truth, he knows not to blindly use soldiers, to learn to use soldiers, in order to get the soldiers' maintenance, and his strategy is also called "invincible benevolent" in the army. ”
**Wisdom and bravery, no matter where he goes, he first understands the local enemy situation, the people's feelings, and the geographical location, pays attention to mobilizing the masses, so that the team can take root, he does not fight unprepared wars, not only collects military reports from many parties, but also organizes troops to carry out pre-war training, and strives to "know oneself and know the other." ”
Once, several young staff officers asked him what he thought of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", ** said:Liu Beiguang talked about benevolence, caring and considerate to his subordinates and soldiers, but he was not strong in principle, and in the last battle of the Eastern Wu Campaign, he was emotional and improperly deployed, and as a result, he was burned to the company camp and almost became a prisoner himself. ”
He also said: "These historical stories also inspire us, we must be ruthless in our battles, and we must be ruthless in our own troops, in order not to lose our fighters, and our leading organs would rather let the lower authorities complain and blame us for being inconsiderate, and we should not be soft-hearted and wavering in our determination because the troops are tired and complaining bitterly, and we are tired and the enemy is also tired, and it depends on who can hold out to the end. ”
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world", * won the hearts of the people and the army with the generous heart of "benevolence", and the three words "love the soldiers, use the soldiers" also give a deeper meaning and exude a unique charm.
