In order to avoid **, Chen Shuxiang cut off his intestines. **If you don't die, you will become a general.
Heroes live forever, and heroes live forever in the hearts of the people. During the Red Army's Long March, in the heroic Xiangjiang Campaign, there was a Red Army division that sacrificed tragically in order to cover the withdrawal of the large army. "
Chen Shuxiang, commander of the Red Army Division, was born in 1905 in Changsha County, Hunan. Due to the severe drought in his hometown, at the age of 10, he and his father lived in Chen Jiayuan, outside Xiaowumen, Changsha, and made a living by growing vegetables and delivering vegetables.
In the process of delivering food, he met Yang Kaihui and his wife, and under the influence of ***, he had a deeper understanding of communism. In 1922, Chen Shuchun joined the Communist Youth League and changed his name to Chen Shuxiang, beginning his revolutionary career.
His language is approachable, and he inspires those around him with this ballad: "Do long work, do short work, and be empty-handed all year round; Carrying burdens, pulling carts, hungry all year round. ”

Under the leadership of ***, Chen Shuxiang participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders and the reorganization of Sanwan. Before that, the main force of the uprising was the workers, but *** was convinced that a large number of peasant groups could also be the main force of the revolution.
The success of the Autumn Harvest Uprising proved this, and Chen Shuxiang then followed *** to Jinggang Mountain. At the age of 25, he served as the commander of the 9th Division of the Red Army, and later served as the commander of the 34th Division.
At the junction of the three provinces, the Red Army relied on land policy and effective political propaganda to grow rapidly, which brought a great shock to the people of Nanjing. As expected, after the end of the Central Plains War, Chiang Kai-shek immediately began the action of "fighting outside the country must first secure the interior", and successively carried out five "encirclement and suppression" of the ** Soviet area.
After using the tactics of guerrilla warfare to repel the four "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang, Li De, a military adviser to the Comintern, and Wang Ming, a left-leaning adventurist, took the leadership of the Soviet region.
However, their dogmatic and rigid politico-military tactics inflicted heavy losses on the Red Army, and its base area was gradually shrinking. In order to get out of the encirclement, finally in October 1934, it was decided to make a strategic shift, and the Long March began.
During the Long March, the Red Army encountered Chiang Kai-shek's four blockade lines and the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops from the Guangxi Gui system, trying to annihilate the Red Army east of the Xiang River. The 5th Army Corps of the Red Army, especially the 34th Division, undertook the arduous task of covering the crossing of the Xiang River by a large force.
At the critical moment, Chen Shuxiang firmly stated that even if he died, he would not let an enemy go to the east bank of the Xiangjiang River. He led the 34th Division to fight fiercely with the enemy for four days and five nights, and successfully covered the crossing of the Xiangjiang River by the ** Red Army, but he also paid huge sacrifices, and there were only about 1,000 people left in the division.
It was Chen Shuxiang's heroic behavior that enabled the Red Army to move safely, thus avoiding the danger of being completely annihilated.
Having learned that the 34th Division of the Red Army was isolated, the Kuomintang troops turned to encircling the 34th Division. On the evening of December 1, Chen Shuxiang commanded the troops to begin to break through. Due to the strong strength of the enemy forces in the west, Chen Shuxiang chose the relatively weak east to break through and planned to carry out guerrilla warfare in the southern Hunan region.
The battle lasted until late at night, and the 34th Division was never able to break through the enemy's heavy encirclement, and there were only more than 100 soldiers left around Chen Shuxiang, who was divided. Chen Shuxiang ordered Chen Wei, the commander of the 100th Regiment, to lead the troops to transfer and cover by himself.
Chen Wei is Chen Shuxiang's old comrade-in-arms, and the two served as the first platoon leader and the second platoon leader respectively during the Autumn Harvest Uprising. Later, Chen Shuxiang became the commander of the 34th Division, and Chen Wei served as the commander of the 100th Regiment.
Chen Wei insisted: "As long as you are there, the teacher is there." Therefore, he insisted on covering Chen Shuxiang's breakthrough. In the end, Chen Wei chose to jump off the cliff when he was unable to resist the enemy army.
Luckily, he survived by a tree branch during the cliff jump.
It was a life-and-death battle, with the army led by Chen Shuxiang running out of bullets, exhausted by long food cuts, and dealing with ambushes and encirclements by local militias.
In the early morning of December 12, they arrived at the Guzi River crossing in Ganghwa, but Ganghwa's militia took advantage of the fog to attack them. Chen Shuxiang was shot in the abdomen in this fierce battle, and the soldiers took him on a stretcher and retreated to the Horse Bridge.
In the nearby village of Hetian, they were intercepted by the Dao County Security Corps, and the final count of only 53 people and about 100 rounds of ammunition remained. The soldiers were ready to fight desperately with the enemy, but Chen Shuxiang calmed them down, he said: "We are a team established by ***, from the Autumn Harvest Uprising to Jinggang Mountain, we have experienced countless difficulties, will we be intimidated by the difficulties in front of us?" ”
He told the soldiers to rush out from behind, rendezvous at the bullpen cave, and fight guerrilla warfare, just as a spark can start a prairie fire. Chen Shuxiang shook the hand of Chief of Staff Wang Guangdao and asked him to retreat with the rest of the troops, saying that he must take them out.
Unfortunately, Wang Guangdao died in the retreat. Chen Shuxiang was seriously wounded, and in order not to disturb the local people, he hid in a cave in Mantouling, with only two guards and a gunsmith by his side.
He sent a warrior to sentry and cover the wound with a large bowl. The local people gave them food, supplies and herbs, and Chen Shuxiang spent the last five days of his life here.
On December 17, Chen Shuxiang led the guards to break through in Daoxian County, but unfortunately fell into the enemy's heavy encirclement.
When the enemy learned of his identity, they were overjoyed and carried him on a simple stretcher to the battalion commander He Xiang, hoping to receive a bounty of 30,000 oceans. However, Chen Shuxiang resolutely refused to give the Kuomintang a chance to persuade him to surrender, and no matter how He Xiang wanted to treat his injuries or eat, he refused.
Later, the militia took Chen Shuxiang to receive the reward, and when he passed by a small temple, he tore off his intestines under the holly tree and died heroically at the age of 29.
Martyr Chen Shuxiang led by example and sacrificed his life for the country. In the face of the enemy's temptation, he adhered to his original intention, strengthened his faith, and became our eternal spiritual model.
After Chen Shuxiang's death, the Kuomintang hung his head on a stone pillar outside the Xiaowu Gate in Changsha, and his body was discarded in a mass grave. Although Chen Shuxiang left no descendants, his family has never found a trace, and only Han Jingjing, the son of Han Wei, the surviving head of the 100th regiment, has been committed to finding it.
However, despite the passage of decades, the search has not stopped. In order to fulfill his father's wish, Han Jingjing decided to create a statue of Chen Shuxiang. However, since Chen Shuxiang did not leave any ** or portrait, the sculptor Liu Lin, at the age of 81, spent two years visiting the places where Chen Shuxiang fought, listening to the locals tell his story, and through conceiving many first drafts, he gradually realized that Chen Shuxiang represented a spirit, not an external image.
In the end, the statue of Chen Shuxiang created by Liu Lin made people feel extremely shocked, as if it directly touched the tragedy and the heroism of seeing death as home.
Today, Chen Shuxiang's statue stands on the banks of the Xiaoshui River, staring at the land where he once fought, and watching the new China he guarded step by step towards prosperity and rejuvenation.
Hunan, a land full of bravery and blood, is known as "no Hunan can not be an army". Whenever the troubled times are troubled, Hunan people can always stand up and become the backbone of resisting foreign enemies by virtue of their ability to eat spicy food and be more bitter-tolerant.
Chen Shuxiang, a child from a poor family, was promoted step by step to the commander of the First Division of the Red Army with his indomitable perseverance and courageous spirit. He grew up in struggle, sharpened in the flames of war, and was always able to come up with ingenious strategies in difficult situations, and bravely shouldered heavy burdens in desperate situations.
Chen Shuxiang's heroic deeds deeply touched the leaders. ** Zeng sighed: "If Chen Shuxiang hadn't sacrificed, he would have been a general by now." * also said: "Although he has been sacrificed for 21 years, I still remember his face and voice." ”
Mr. Zhu was also full of praise for him: "Chen Shuxiang is a hero in Hunan, like Fang Zhimin, Liu Zhidan, Yang Jingyu and other sacrificed generals, if they are still alive, each of them should also be a general."
It would be nice if they could celebrate together. ”
