On November 6, 1948, the People's Liberation Army provoked the Huaihai Campaign, and more than a month later, the 12th Corps of the Kuomintang was destroyed, and Commander Huang Wei and Deputy Commander Wu Shaozhou were captured. It took 27 years for Huang Wei to be pardoned, while Wu Shaozhou was freed four years later. Although his name is not as good as Huang Wei, his contribution to the Anti-Japanese War cannot be underestimated, how can he be released in a short period of time?
Wu Shaozhou, a native of Tianzhu County, Guizhou, was 20 years old and was admitted to the Guizhou Academy Barracks to study military Xi, and later entered the Second Division of the Qian Army. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the chief of staff of the 89th Division of the Kuomintang, bravely fought in Nankou, and successfully won the fourth-class Baoding Medal for making weather lamps to confuse the Japanese army.
Subsequently, Wu Shaozhou led the troops to fight many battles with brilliant results. In the defense of Gaocheng in northern Hubei Province, he held on to the front, skillfully arranged and occupied the main roads behind the enemy, and successfully blocked the advance of the Japanese invaders. Due to his outstanding performance, Wu Shaozhou was treated as a division.
In 1942, Wu Shaozhou was promoted to the commander of the 13th Army, and later transferred to the commander of the 85th Army, mainly guarding Zhengzhou, and successfully forced the Japanese army under Lei Chi. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he actively prepared for the civil war and held various positions, eventually becoming the deputy commander of the 12th Corps and the commander of the 58th Army.
However, it was ill-fated. In 1948, Wu Shaozhou and Huang Wei were captured by the People's Liberation Army in Shuangduiji. Huang Wei was not granted amnesty because he insisted on his opinion, while Wu Shaozhou provided tactical advice to the volunteers during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and his understanding of the US military became the key.
During his captivity, Wu Shaozhou actively underwent reform and was more cooperative than Huang Wei. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he responded to the call to participate in the US military tactical study class and provided useful suggestions to the volunteers. This special contribution led to him receiving leniency in 1952 and returning to his hometown to settle down.
Wu Shaozhou's proposal to resist US aggression and aid Korea had a positive impact on the Chinese People's Volunteers, and his reform also achieved remarkable results. Therefore, at the end of his life, Wu Shaozhou died at the age of 64, leaving an extraordinary life. His story is a brilliant chapter in the years of the Anti-Japanese War, and he made outstanding contributions to the liberation and peace of the country.
Wu Shaozhou: The immortal legend of the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War.
The life of Wu Shaozhou, a hero of the Anti-Japanese War, is like a bright pearl in the long river of history, shining with immortal light. His story is a prominent chapter in those heroic years, and he sacrificed everything for the liberation and peace of the motherland.
First of all, Wu Shaozhou's military talent in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War was breathtaking. In the Battle of Nankou, he skillfully used self-made weather lamps to deceive the Japanese army, successfully launched a charge, defeated the Itagaki Division in one fell swoop, and won the fourth-class Baoding Medal. This is not only a unique insight into the tactics of the enemy, but also a concentrated expression of courage and determination. Wu Shaozhou's tenacity and wisdom won a key victory for the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War.
Secondly, Wu Shaozhou made many outstanding achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan, especially in the defense of Gaocheng in northern Hubei and the blocking battle in the area of Taierzhuang, his military strategy and command ability were fully displayed again. Through a combination of head-on perseverance and surprisingly victorious punches, he not only succeeded in stopping the Japanese invaders, but also earned the treatment of a first-class division. This is not only a tribute to his personal bravery, but also an encouragement to the entire army.
However, the Wheel of Fortune can't always favor heroes. In the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, although Wu Shaozhou was repeatedly transferred to high positions, he was captured by the People's Liberation Army in the Shuangduiji battle of the Huaihai Battle in 1948. He was also captured by Huang Wei, the commander of the 12th Corps. This former hero of the Anti-Japanese War is now in prison.
However, it was during his captivity that Wu Shaozhou showed a distinctive quality. He was actively reformed and more cooperative than the other captured generals. This spirit shows a real soldier and a hero of the War of Resistance who fought bravely for the liberation of the country. What is even more rare is his special contribution to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In response to the call of the country, he participated in the U.S. military tactical study class and provided valuable tactical advice to the volunteers. This act not only demonstrated his professionalism, but also contributed to the cause of international peace.
In the end, Wu Shaozhou's life came to an end, but his deeds will always be remembered. After receiving clemency in 1952, he chose to return to his hometown and died in 1966 at the age of 64. His life is full of legends and honors, a hero who sacrificed his life for the country, and a representative of the group of unsung heroes who silently contributed during the years of the Anti-Japanese War.
Wu Shaozhou's story tells us that heroes are not unattainable existences, but ordinary people who can stand up and pay for the country and the people in times of crisis. His life is the epitome of the struggle and bloody battles of the sons and daughters of China, and it is also an indelible star shining in the long river of history.
