Tao Zhu, the ancestor of the second and third fields, how can he be outstanding
Tao Zhu and Tao Ziqiang, two brothers in shabby cloth clothes, were particularly eye-catching among the lively crowd outside the Huangpu Military Academy in Guangzhou. Tao Ziqiang is a prodigy in the village, who went to school in his hometown in Hunan in his early years and was deeply loved by his teachers.
In order to support his studies, Tao Zhu dropped out of school at a young age and followed his mother up the mountain every day to chop firewood to support the family. Although Tao Zhu understands his parents' decision, his desire to learn has not diminished, and every day after doing farm work, he will follow his brother when he comes back from school to study his homework for the day.
In this way, Tao Zhu did not fall behind too much homework. In 1925, Tao Zhu applied for the Whampoa Military Academy for the first time, but was not admitted due to poor mathematics scores. But instead of giving up, he spent a year crazily remediating math.
The next year, he applied for the Whampoa Military Academy again and was finally successfully admitted! At the same time, Tao Ziqiang also applied for the Whampoa Military Academy, and with his talent, he was successfully admitted without much effort.
The brothers were admitted to the fifth phase of Whampoa at the same time and became classmates.
After Tao Zhu started school, Tao Zhu studied hard and studied hard all day long, but Tao Ziqiang and those students who joined the Kuomintang in the school all day long, Tao Zhu sneered at this and looked down on his brother who was messing with the Kuomintang all day long.
In this situation, Tao Zhu still insisted on publicly declaring: "I think the Kuomintang may not be able to revive China, only the Communist Party has the ability!" ”
Because of these "inappropriate" speeches, Tao Zhu was not only isolated by his classmates, but his brother Tao Ziqiang gradually alienated him. Fortunately, the director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy noticed Tao Zhu and logically introduced him to join the Communist Party of China.
In the early days of the revolution, Tao Zhu and Tao Ziqiang were both actively engaged in the revolutionary cause, Tao Zhu participated in the Nanchang Uprising and the Guangzhou Uprising, and Tao Ziqiang followed Lu Deming to participate in the Autumn Harvest Uprising.
Although Tao Zhu is young, but he is very brave on the battlefield, he has single-handedly led the spy company to take out a regimental headquarters of the enemy, in every battle, Tao Zhu always charges at the front, General Xiao Ke was taken aback by this bookish young man, and said to people: "This Tao Zhu, before the uprising, like a scholar, only later did I know that he was simply dead!" ”
Relying on this spirit of "not wanting to die", Tao Zhu broke through the sky, not only being valued within the CCP, but also becoming the "thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh" of the Kuomintang.
Tao Zhu once recalled: "When I became a Communist Party, I thought that I would dedicate my life to the Party, that my life would be subordinated to the will of the Party, that everything would be subject to the Party's arrangements, and that my life would belong to the Party. ”
It is this belief that allows Tao Zhu to always move forward bravely and without flinching in the face of difficulties and dangers. Under his leadership, the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China successfully rescued more than 40 CPC cadres including Liu Ruisheng and Chen Baisheng, making significant contributions to the revolutionary cause.
Tao Zhu was not only a valiant warrior, but also a brilliant scholar. Throughout his life, he pursued the truth, actively devoted himself to the cause of the Chinese revolution, and made important contributions to the development and growth of the Communist Party of China.
He is an example for us to learn from, and we should be proud of him, look up to him, forge ahead bravely, and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Tao Zhu successfully led the commando team to carry out the rescue mission on May 25, and on the same day, Ganlin rained in Xiamen, creating a favorable environment for the rescue operation. Tao Zhu personally led the team to disguise themselves as workers, students, and tourists to blend into the crowd and cover the operation of the commandos.
The assault team started its operation at 9 a.m., and Tao Zhu led the team from the path next to the county ** gate to the outside of Siming Prison unnoticed. Subsequently, the commandos were divided into two teams, the six members of the inner team entered the prison to open the prison door on the grounds of visiting the prison and looking for colleagues, and Tao Zhu personally led the outer team to attack.
With excellent positioning and adequate preparation, the inner team members managed to infiltrate the prison. However, Lu Yongzhong, the deputy warden of the prison detention center, noticed the commando team, and one of the team members attracted the attention of the other party, Lu Yongzhong walked over quickly, took off his straw hat, and looked the team member up and down.
The team members hurriedly smiled and flattered: "What is the matter, sir?" The experienced Lu Yongzhong sensed the tense atmosphere and asked the other party to take off his shirt and cooperate with the body search.
Hearing this, the team members next to him shouted "not good" in their hearts, because there was also a half-meter-long vice hidden under the robe, which was used to cut the iron lock of the cell! The rest of the team members immediately took out their guns from their clothes and killed the deputy director, and the prison guards were about to fight back when they saw this, but before they could raise their guns, they were killed.
After Tao Zhu heard the gunshot, he immediately controlled the enemy guarding the gate of the county **, and after the team members who responded outside heard the gunshot, they immediately took out their pistols and knocked the guard on duty of the enemy county ** to the ground.
Tao Zhu took the lead and rushed into the gate of the county, using the steps as a barrier to deal with the stubborn enemies in the county. On weekdays, these guards who neglect training, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all day long have seen such a surprise attack, and they are so frightened that they can't even take care of putting on their clothes, so they scattered and fled for their lives.
In this way, Tao Zhu drove all the way to the prison, and the inner team has successfully rescued the 40 team members who were imprisoned in the prison, successfully rushed out of the prison door, and successfully rendezvoused with Tao Zhu and his party.
After everyone met, the commandos immediately divided into several ways according to the pre-agreed retreat route, and one person quickly evacuated the county ** with a few comrades, and went to Bishan Road, small lanes and other retreat locations.
Tao Zhuzhi led the prison retreat operation, successfully rescued more than 40 comrades in only 10 minutes, killed more than 20 enemies, and created a historic victory.
His outstanding command and organizational skills have been highly recognized and rewarded. In addition, Tao Zhu also gained a happy love because of his successful career, and he and Zeng Zhi carried out revolutionary work together in the name of husband and wife, and finally became a revolutionary couple.
However, less than a year after their marriage, they were unfortunately arrested by the enemy, Tao Zhu always firmly believed in the revolution, actively encouraged the unity of ** comrades, and waged an unremitting struggle against the enemy.
Finally, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, Tao Zhu was rescued from prison by the party organization and devoted himself to a new revolutionary process.
When Tao Zhu served as the leader of the training class in central Hubei Province, it was during the formation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party's anti-Japanese national united front. In order to propagate the anti-Japanese ideology and organize the people to resist Japan together, Dong Biwu and others established the Hubei Cooperation Committee and sent a large number of instructors to the countryside.
Tao Zhu's reputation and deeds have long been heard. I was very happy to learn that Tao Zhu was sent to Hubei Province, and immediately asked Tao Zhu to take charge of the leadership of the training class.
In December 1937, the first phase of the training class opened, and the teaching content was all in line with Yan'an Kang University and Northern Shaanxi Public School, including the study of Marxism-Leninism, guerrilla strategy and tactics, and military training.
In his spare time, Tao Zhu also organized students to go to the homes of local people to help with labor. A month later, the study of the first training class was successfully completed, and before Tao Zhu made public the news that he was going to hold the second phase, countless people came to take the initiative to apply for the training class.
Tao Zhu's training class was vigorously organized, and Chiang Kai-shek's heart was quite unbalanced when he saw it, and he asked: "The Tangchi training class is like this, it affects the united front!" Are you here to run the Red Army University? ”
Wang Ming was inexplicably "reprimanded" by Chiang Kai-shek, and found Dong Biwu with a belly full of fire, and said angrily: "You don't want to engage in Marxism-Leninism and guerrilla warfare, just run a cooperative!" ”
Dong Biwu insisted that the training class must talk about party building and Marxism-Leninism, and he found the best to argue with Wang Ming. Tao Zhu's training class was held in four phases, and more than 300 outstanding young cadres were trained, and these cadres were sent to western Hubei, northern Hubei, eastern Hubei, southern Hubei, Jingshan, Tianmen, Hanchuan, Yunmeng and other regions, spreading the revolutionary fire all over Hubei Province.
Dong Biwu was determined to do so, and vowed to train the backbone of guerrilla warfare for the party no matter what, arm the people, establish guerrilla base areas, and adhere to the line of encircling the cities from the countryside.
He said earnestly: "The training class cannot be run in Tangchi, so we will go to other places to run it, if we are not allowed to do it, we will continue to run it under a different name, and if we are not allowed to do it openly, we will run it secretly, in short, we must resolutely continue to do it!" ”
Although the KMT's hatred of Tao Zhu grew, so did his influence. Dong Biwu once quietly instructed Tao Zhu: "Don't go far, wait for news in Shashi, and be ready to come back to take on the leadership at any time." ”
Tao Zhu nodded firmly, and without hesitation, he went to Shashi to stand by. In the days of waiting in Shashi, Tao Zhu was not idle. He went to Dingjiachong, Jingshan County, to meet with Yang Xuecheng, secretary of the Central Hubei Special Committee, and immediately set about organizing the local anti-Japanese armed forces.
Tao Zhu found that the local anti-Japanese armed forces were very weak, so he bought back two dozen barge guns and some long guns from Hong Kong, and actively trained the local armed forces. A month later, Tao Zhu organized an anti-Japanese armed force of more than 500 people.
Under the leadership of the Central Hubei Party Committee, many local young men and women found Tao Zhu and took the initiative to join the anti-Japanese armed forces. Tao Zhu did not refuse everyone, and recruited all the eligible young men and women into the anti-Japanese team.
However, due to the large gap in the time when everyone participated in the revolution, the quality of the fighting was uneven, and many people did not have systematic training and did not know anything about guerrilla strategy and tactics, which led to a great deal of success in a "counter-sweep" before the Spring Festival in 1939.
After the battle, Tao Zhu said to everyone firmly: "Our current work is very hard, so this will better exercise our will." Failure is the mother of success, all we have to do now is to sum up the lessons of failure and keep fighting! ”
Subsequently, Tao Zhu quoted the inscription of Mr. Lu Xun on "Xinhua **": "The wind knows the strength of the grass, in the difficulties, we must foresee and believe that there is a bright future, the enemy is at present, we resolutely oppose compromise halfway, we must firmly believe that the final victory will eventually belong to us!" ”
Tao Zhu, who was seriously ill, wrote this poem "Seven Uniques", expressing his enthusiasm for the revolutionary cause vividly. Tao Zhu's determination will be indomitable and unstoppable on the road of revolution!
Tao Zhu made a wise decision and successfully ambushed the Japanese enemy, captured supplies and killed more than 20 enemies, including the Japanese imperial prince. When the news came, the people of Jingshan rejoiced, and the Kuomintang's "fear of Japan" was also alleviated.
Tao Zhu's leadership and military resourcefulness were highly praised, and he actively implemented the instructions of the Northeast Army, established a base in the Northeast region, and became an important frontline position of the Northeast Field Army.
In the battle of "three times to the south of the Yangtze River and four guarantees to the river", he brilliantly completed the task and created many miracles in military history. Tao Zhu's achievements are prominent, and he is known as a "marshal-level" figure.
Tao Zhu: Tao Zhu, the "ancestor" of the four major field armies, is known as the "ancestor of the second and third fields", which seems to be a bit conservative. As early as 1930, he personally formed the First Guerrilla Army in Southern Fujian, which later developed into the Southern Fujian Independent Regiment.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Minnan Independent Regiment was incorporated into the New Fourth Army and became the main force of the 3rd Field Army. After the fall of Wuhan, he started from scratch and established a guerrilla force with outstanding combat effectiveness, which was later reorganized into the Central Plains Military Region.
In 1946, part of the troops of the Central Plains Military Region were incorporated into the Central Plains Field Army, part of them became the main force of the Northeast Field Army, and part of them entered the Northwest Field Army.
Tao Zhu can be said to be "the ancestor of the four major field armies of the Chinese People's Liberation Army". Tao Zhu was influenced by his brother Tao Ziqiang in his later years and died as a "traitor". Tao Ziqiang regretted nothing more than this, and before he died, he wrote a letter to Tao Zhu's wife Zeng Zhi, asking for forgiveness, and tears of remorse wet the letter paper.
Uncle, I don't resent you anymore! Tao Ziqiang was finally accepted by Tao Zhu's family and passed away with a smile. However, Tao Ziqiang's deliberate slander of Tao Zhu when Tao Zhu encountered a predicament is still an unsolved mystery, and no one knows what happened in the first place that made Tao Ziqiang make such a choice in his later years.
