In the past three months, the beauty of the chrysanthemum in full bloom has made people's hearts move, but the lack of orchid has always felt that there is a fly in the ointment. Whenever I open the doors and windows and see all kinds of flowers, I always think of my orchid, my favorite orchid.
Before his death, Zuo Quan used a letter to express his thoughts about his wife, and he gave up his small family for the safety of the country. Zuo Quan was born in Liling, Hunan, and was known as a prodigy because he was a studious person since he was a child.
He achieved several victories in the southeast of Jin.
After the May Fourth Movement, Zuo Quan began to contact and absorb a large number of new ideas and concepts, realizing that only by strengthening military strength could the country be saved. In 1924, he entered the Army Martial Arts School and was favored by the instructors for his high understanding and quick learning ability.
The following year, he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy and also joined the Chinese Communist Party. In August 1937, Zuo Quan served as the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army after the reorganization of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and went to the anti-Japanese front with the first commander-in-chief and the first deputy commander-in-chief, and established a revolutionary base in North China.
In 1938, the Japanese army intended to attack the southeast of Jindong, and ** suggested to the Red Army Command: if the war is avoided, the headquarters can be safely transferred; If it resists, it can stop the enemy's advance, so that Linfen's military supplies can be transported away, and the friendly forces behind the headquarters can be safely transferred.
Taking advantage of the favorable terrain, the left side cut off the Japanese ranks and successfully repelled the continuous attacks of the enemy. In the end, more than 2,000 enemies were killed in the battle, and a lot of military supplies were captured.
During the same period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army held an important meeting in Changzhi County. During this meeting, General Zuo Quan repeatedly explained the specific tactics of guerrilla warfare to the soldiers of the troops, and repeatedly emphasized the correctness of the CCP's anti-Japanese stand behind enemy lines.
In June of the following year, after more than 50 days of fierce fighting, they successfully annihilated more than 3,000 enemy troops. Under the wise leadership of Zuo Quan, they smashed the Japanese army's large-scale "Nine-Way Siege" of the Red Army in the southeastern base area of Jinjin.
During this period, General Zuo Quan also published a number of military articles such as "On Persisting in the War of Resistance in North China" and "Ambush Tactics", which fully demonstrated his profound theoretical accomplishment and rich practical experience.
Later, the premier once commented on General Zuo Quan as "a military strategist with theoretical cultivation and practical experience".
In the spring of 1940, the Japanese army implemented a "cage" policy in an attempt to destroy the anti-Japanese base areas. In order to turn the tide of the war, Zuo Quan put forward a strategic plan of "conducting a large-scale sabotage battle on the Zhengtai Railway" at the meeting, which was approved by ***.
After the "Campaign Preparation Order" drafted by Zuo Quan was approved, the troops quickly entered the battle. The Battle of the Hundred Regiments began.
He has very little time off, a lot of important things are decided by him, and he is very stressed. ”
After the battle of Wei Guoyun began, Zuo Quan and ** issued combat orders at the headquarters many times. Before and after the battle, Zuo Quan wrote a number of articles to commemorate the victory of the Hundred Regiments War, including the "Campaign Action Order" and the "Instruction on "Expanding the Publicity of the Achievements of the Hundred Regiments War".
In addition, he also wrote a series of articles for **, such as "On the Great Victory of the Hundred Regiments War" and "The New Victory of the Third Stage of the Hundred Regiments War". On October 19, under the leadership of Zuo Quan and ***, our army successfully carried out an anti-"sweeping" operation.
Under the circumstance that the hostile base areas adopted an unprecedented policy of destruction, the party, government, military, and people in the base areas worked closely together to resolutely smash the enemy's "sweeping" operations. The victory in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments brought huge losses to the Japanese army, which made the Japanese army angry, so the Japanese army sent Okamura Ninji to fight.
In November 1941, the Japanese army raided the Huangyadong Arsenal, which was the largest gun and artillery factory of the Eighth Route Army, so the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army attached great importance to it and mobilized all troops to participate in the battle.
In the battle, Zuo Quan was calm and composed, and worked closely with Ou Zhifu, the head of the special service regiment of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and finally succeeded in annihilating nearly 2,000 enemies. For this reason, the ** Military Commission of the Communist Party of China awarded the special service group the title of "Huangyadong Defense Battle Hero Regiment", and this battle was hailed as "a model battle against sweeping since 1941".
Zuo Quan participated in the planning, deployment and command of this campaign throughout the whole process, and made indelible contributions to the victory of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.
The Battle of the Hundred Regiments lasted for three months, destroying more than 40,000 enemies, participating in more than 1,800 battles, conquering more than 2,900 enemy strongholds, destroying many of the enemy's communication lines, and paralyzing the enemy's communications for a time.
This battle was the largest and longest campaign launched by the Red Army to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, showing the heroism and wisdom of the Red Army.
The victory in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments not only dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, but also won wide acclaim in the international community. However, the cost of this victory was enormous, and General Zuo Quan died heroically in the blood-stained battle of Taihang.
In 1942, the Japanese army issued the "Operation Plan C" in an attempt to directly take the Eighth Route Army. Gathering 30,000 troops in the southeast of Shanxi, he began to attack the Taihang and Taiyue areas on a large scale, and carried out the "encroachment policy" and the "public security strengthening campaign".
However, no matter how the Japanese attacked, they could not shake the firm conviction and courageous fighting spirit of the Communist Party and the Red Army.
On May 20, 1942, Zuo Quan gave up studying the battle plan, returned to his room, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write letters. In the face of the encroachment policies of the Japanese army in his unit, he could not ignore his family.
He once went home to visit his wife and daughter before the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, although in the face of his wife's complaints, he chose to act silently, helping his daughter wash diapers and feed rice soup. Despite this, he decided to return to the front in order to defend his country and family.
Zuo Quan said goodbye to his wife and daughter, and wrote a letter to his family with tears, conveying bravery and tenacity in the name of love. In the letter, he wrote: "Zhilan, war has broken out, which will affect the actions of the Japanese invaders and the domestic situation in our country.
It will soon become clear how the situation in the country will evolve ......Although I love Taibei deeply, the times are changing, you can be brave enough to deal with Taibei's problems, and you don't have to worry about me.
Zhilan, my dear, it is easy to see each other when we part, we have been separated for twenty-one months, when can we meet again? Missing, missing, missing, missing, missing......"On May 25 of the same year, Zuo Quan, on the orders of the headquarters of the Red Army, escorted *** out of the front.
At this time, the enemy was tightly encircled, constantly bombing the encirclement in the air. In this kind of emergency, there must always be someone who stands up and stays on the front line to command, Zuo Quan stands up first, and staying means that he is one step closer to death, but he does not consider his own safety.
** regrets that while covering the retreat of the main forces, he was unfortunately hit by enemy shells and died young at the age of 37. After his death, his wife, Liu Zhilan, wrote with deep affection: "Thinking of your deeply unforgettable heart makes me feel extremely guilty. ”
Zuo Quan was the supreme general of the Eighth Route Army who died on the battlefield, and he had nearly 20 years of combat experience. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he has always been on the front line of combat.
* praised him as "an extremely precious talent in the world", and personally wrote a touching and eternal eulogy for him: the famous will serve the country with his body, and he is willing to shed his blood to protect my country.
Taihang Haoqi will remain for eternity, and the blood flowers of Qingzhang will never disappear.
The ambition is not accomplished, and the hatred is too good. The dew is cold and the wind is miserable, and he mourns the loss of the excellent command of the whole people. The inscription of "the martyrs who died bravely is glorious through the ages" is also engraved on the memorial tower that stands at the door of the Shanxi, Hebei and Luyu martyrs cemetery.
Zuo Quan didn't come back, we are all your sons!This scene is not only a deep nostalgia for General Zuo Quan, but also a proud display of the people's army.
After learning that his longing son died on the battlefield seven years ago, the old man was not very sad, but said firmly: "My son dedicated himself to the anti-Japanese resistance and died well, he is the pride of a man with lofty ideals."
Now that we have achieved democratic liberation, what is there to regret about his sacrifice?I'm sure he'll be able to keep an eye on the ground too. On the day of the 10th anniversary of Zuo Quan's sacrifice, ** made a special trip to the place where Zuo Quan sacrificed and came to the Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu Martyrs Cemetery to mourn this heroic revolutionary martyr.
Zuo Quan's mother, a martyr of the Red Army, an outstanding Communist Party member, his heroic dedication, and his short and brilliant life deserve to be remembered forever and to be learned by all Communist Party members.
His name echoed among the mountains and rivers, his heroic deeds touched the army and the people, and every drop of his blood symbolized the indomitable spirit of the anti-Japanese nation. This spirit will be passed on forever and inspires us to move forward.
