Guts!The Nanjing Military Region chose the commander to give up the three wild and four fierce generals, and picked a "big boss" to take the position
In 1955, the East China Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was divided into the Nanjing Military Region and the Jinan Military Region, setting off an uproar over the selection of commanders of the Nanjing Military Region. Surprisingly, ** actually bypassed the three wild and four fierce generals of the East China Military Region and handed over this important task to Xu Shiyou, who was nicknamed "big boss". This decision was appalling at the time, and sparked widespread discussion and heated discussions.
The six major military regions once formed a relative balance in the country according to the balanced distribution of national strategic resources, however, the situation changed, and the Military Commission decided to carry out military region reform to adapt to the international situation and internal threats. One of the most eye-catching aspects of this reform is the East China Military Region, which has formed three new military regions, Nanjing, Jinan, and Fuzhou. Because of its key geographical location, the Nanjing Military Region has become the mainstay of this reform, which has aroused widespread concern about the selection of commanders of the Nanjing Military Region.
In this selection of the commander of the Nanjing Military Region, it turned out that it was not the three wild and four fierce generals, but a "big boss" Xu Shiyou, who was not well-known. This surprised and puzzled many people, why did *** give up those generals with great achievements and choose a person who was nicknamed "Big Boss" to hold such an important position?
Just as all parties were speculating, Xu Shiyou's background and military experience surfaced. This "big old man" was born poor, and when he was 8 years old, he stepped into the Songshan Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. However, such a seemingly rugged general occupies an important position in the heart of ***. He participated in the Jute Uprising at the age of 21, participated in the struggle in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui revolutionary base area, participated in the Red Army death squad seven times, and fought to the end with Chiang Kai-shek's troops in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" operation. His revolutionary road was a bloody road fought out in the sea of swords and fires.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xu Shiyou, as the deputy commander of the 386 Brigade, participated in the battle against the Japanese invaders many times, and became a nightmare for the Japanese army in the Jiaodong area. In the War of Liberation, he performed well in the Battle of Jinan, and successfully took the heavily guarded Jinan City in only 8 days, and made great achievements. However, Xu Shiyou's life was not all smooth sailing, he was punished for dissatisfaction with Zhang Guotao's line, and he was implicated because of Zhang Guotao during the Northern Shaanxi period. This kind of ordeal did not discourage Xu Shiyou, he stuck to his beliefs, and finally won the trust of the first-class leaders.
Although Xu Shiyou, who was nicknamed "Big Boss", was rough and open-minded in appearance, he had extremely high talent in tactical formulation and operational command. ** "favored" him because of his experience, excellent ability and quality to persevere in difficult situations. Although Xu Shiyou was given the nickname of "big old and coarse," in his work in the Nanjing Military Region, he showed an extremely high sense of responsibility and mission. He is well aware of the heavy historical responsibility he shoulders, and strives to coordinate the interests of all parties to ensure the smooth operation of the Nanjing Military Region.
After taking office, Xu Shiyou has been working for 18 years, conscientious and conscientious. He vigorously promoted the mass military training movement, popularized the "Guo Xingfu Teaching Method," and successfully carried out reform experiments. Under his leadership, the Nanjing Military Region has demonstrated unprecedented strength and has continuously made remarkable achievements in the military field. In 1968, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, which became an important achievement of Xu Shiyou during his time in the Nanjing Military Region. **Personally inspected and affirmed the quality of the bridge.
However, people's evaluations of Xu Shiyou and his deeds are not consistent. Some consider him a great soldier and statesman, others have a different opinion. This controversy leaves more room for our thinking, giving us the opportunity to understand and recognize the legend and his times from multiple perspectives.
Xu Shiyou's life was full of passion and dedication, and his story is part of China's modern history. We should treat him and his contributions with respect and reverence. No matter when and where, in the face of difficulties and setbacks, we should, like Xu Shiyou, strengthen our beliefs, move forward bravely, and make our own contributions to the development of the country and society. This choice of the commander of the Nanjing Military Region is not only a personnel reshuffle, but also a full affirmation of Xu Shiyou's leadership style of having great ambitions and courage in doing things. His military talent and political wisdom, as well as his sense of responsibility and mission, enabled him to make remarkable achievements in the work of the Nanjing Military Region and also made important contributions to the military development of New China.
