He was born as an intellectual, and he spends most of his time holding a pen and rarely holds a gun. But in 1964, ** actually touched the gun for the first time, and the photographer on the side saw this, and hurriedly raised the camera to take pictures of this rare moment, so why did the chairman hold a gun at that time?In this issue, let's talk about it.
**In his early years, he spent a period of time in the Hunan army and received military training for a period of time, but only half a year later, the chairman took the initiative to retire from the army, and resumed his studies and continued to swim in the ocean of knowledge. During the Revolution, the chairman was mainly engaged in civilian work and never touched a gun, and it was not until the Autumn Harvest Riots that the chairman actually began to carry guns and participated in some frontal battles.
After the establishment of the Red Fourth Army, ** was transferred to the command post, and in principle, he was no longer equipped with a gun, and his security work was taken care of by the special service company. It was not until 1931 that he was ostracized in the Soviet area and left Gannan to fight guerrillas in a fit of anger, and then he resumed his position as a front-line commander. However, soon after, the chairman was invited back to *** again, whether it was the Long March, the Anti-Japanese War or the War of Liberation, the chairman has always been in the rear, rarely in direct contact with the enemy, and there is no need to be equipped with a gun.
In late 1948, during the period of stationing in Xibaipo, the guard regiment was equipped with a batch of American carbines, and the chairman was very interested in this kind of gun, so he pulled Mr. Zhu to test marksmanship with him, although he did not touch the gun for many years, his shooting skills were still very good, and he hit every target accurately, winning everyone's applause.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1964, in order to test the results of the People's Liberation Army's adoption of new training methods, the Central Military Commission decided to transfer elite troops from various military regions to Beijing to hold a joint military exercise. **I attach great importance to this military exercise and personally observe it. After the officers and soldiers saw the ****, they were very excited, and they held back their strength to show the chairman the best state.
Among them, Song Shizhe, a soldier from the Jinan Military Region, used a Type 56 rifle to accurately hit all targets when he was performing shooting skillsImmediately afterwards, the chairman took Song Shizhe's gun and made a gesture of raising the gun to aim, and the photographer immediately captured this rare moment and published it in the party and government official media the next day to boost the morale of the whole army.
This joint military exercise is a good thing, but some people with ill intentions have picked on the bones and smeared and criticized the military exercise, insisting that it is a "power grab" operation. General Luo, who presided over the military exercise, was violently attacked for a while, and was repeatedly blamed, General Luo was speechless for a while, and later in order to prove his innocence, he even chose to jump off the building and commit suicide, but he was seriously injured and almost died.
In 1951, at the age of 14, he took the initiative to ask Ying to join the Volunteer Army and fight on the Korean front. In actual combat, he practiced the ability to penetrate Yang in 100 steps, shot and killed many enemy soldiers accurately, and was promoted to a company-level cadre for his merits. After returning to China, he was stationed in the Jinan Military Region with his unit, during which he diligently practiced Xi shooting skills and maintained a very high standard from beginning to end, so that he could shine in the 1964 military exercise.
After the military exercise, Song Shizhe unsurprisingly became a model for the whole army, and the higher-level leaders regarded him as a key training object, first arranged for him to study Xi at the military and political school, and then promoted him to a regimental cadre. In the 70s, he left the front line and was transferred to work in a military research unit, in the early 80s, he left the army and was assigned to work in the administrative department, and in the 90s he officially retired and returned to his hometown to settle down for the elderly.
In 2007, Song Shizhe was invited to return to the old army, which had moved into a new barracks, and was transformed from a light infantry to a mechanical unit, and replaced with a lot of cutting-edge equipment. Seeing that the living standards of the officers and men were getting better and better, and the equipment was becoming more and more cutting-edge, Song Shizhe was very happy in his heart, and under the leadership of the company instructor, he visited the dormitories and related equipment of the officers and men with great interest, and also observed the performance of the company's sharpshooters. In the afternoon of the same day, at the end of the visit, Song Shizhe slowly walked out of the army camp and returned to his hometown by car. Today, this old comrade is still alive, and we wish him a long and healthy life and happiness for the rest of his life!
The military exercise in 1964 is still talked about today, and the video left behind by the military exercise has always been the best material for the whole army to learn Xi, in which the shooting, fighting, assassination and other techniques are summarized through actual combat, without any performance components, very practical, and a rare treasure in the army. Nowadays, the international and domestic situation is changing, but the PLA will never change its original intention, and the military soul of the PLA will also be passed on and carried forward from generation to generation
