In the cold winter of 1988, an obituary from Guizhou, southwest China, shocked the nation. **The Führer personally sent a letter of condolence, expressing deep condolences over the death of Comrade Kong Xianquan, an old comrade-in-arms of the Long March.
Kong Xianquan, who is he? Why did you get such a high honor? It all dates back to 1931, when he was just 21 years old and struggling with a poor family in Liuyang, Hunan.
The years of war have left the family crumbling and unable to withstand any wind and rain.
Kong Xianquan, a young man who longs to change his fate. He had read books and watched plays, but all he saw was a bleak road that kept him awake all night.
He longed for the light until he met the Red Army. The Red Army told him that this was a force fighting for the poor people, and that their goal was to free thousands of toiling masses like Kong Xianquan.
At that moment, the darkness dispersed, the light illuminated his path, and he left his family and walked towards the base. It was an era when "a spark could start a prairie fire," and the Red Army was about to become a prairie fire at the speed of a spark.
However, many figures who had returned from the Soviet Union at that time did not agree with the Chinese version of Marxism formed by the chairman on the basis of extensive research and practice: the countryside surrounded the cities and the armed seizure of power.
They confidently believed that studying in the Soviet Union would give them a few levels of insight and understanding over their opponents who had rolled through the countryside. However, they wishfully changed the tactics of the war, replacing the original strategy and flexible tactics with a frontal confront.
Despite repeated setbacks on the battlefield between the Red Army and the well-armed Kuomintang Party, the Red Army, with the spirit of not fearing sacrifice, succeeded in breaking the enemy's five encirclements and suppressions.
Initially, the number of members of the party plummeted from 200,000 to 30,000, a shift that put the party in crisis and life and death. Under these circumstances, ** bravely took over this difficult task and set the goal of strategic transfer, which is what we know as the 25,000-mile long march.
The Long March was not just a simple process of climbing mountains and mountains, and its primary task was to defeat the encirclement and interception of the Kuomintang by land and air.
Because of his outstanding military exploits and outstanding combat ability, Kong Xianquan has been placed in important posts many times. In the Battle of Longgang, he led the troops to successfully defeat the 18th Division of the elite army, and captured the commander of the division, Zhang Huizan, which was greatly praised.
Subsequently, in the Battle of Loushanguan, Kong Xianquan was once again entrusted with an important task. He led a company to the position to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, successfully captured the thief and captured the king, and directly destroyed the enemy's brigade command post.
However, he was confronted by a large force of the opposing side. Faced with such a predicament, Kong Xianquan did not panic, and he commanded his subordinates to quickly find a favorable combat position to counterattack.
The enemy's attack was like a dense hornet, sweeping all over the world. After a burst of gunfire, many of his comrades fell in pools of blood and never got up again. There is no place to cry on the battlefield, the danger remains, what the living need to do is to destroy the enemy, and as for tears, that is what should be done after the war.
Kong Xianquan and his comrades-in-arms fought fiercely with the enemy in the enemy's trenches, they hid behind thick trees and constantly fought back. Despite the fact that they were inferior in equipment and numbers, they did not back down, they understood that their duty was to fight for the light of China.
They understood that this was a war that was bound to lose and that would end in death, but they still kept fighting. His comrades fell, and Kong Xianquan was hit by 6 machine-gun bullets, staining his clothes with blood.
He felt the strength of his whole body draining with the blood, but he still held on, his consciousness still stubbornly holding him up. He rolled over into a ditch and, taking advantage of the terrain, held the beaded box gun in his hand tightly and fired at the enemy again.
It was a brutal war, but Kong Xianquan and his comrades-in-arms did not give up, they stuck to their posts and fought for the independence and freedom of the country.
Although their bodies were bleeding, although their lives were in danger, they never gave up, and they used their actions to interpret the true meaning of "the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible".
He stubbornly held out for a long time, until the large army arrived. At the sound of the trumpet, he smiled and closed his eyes. He is not dead, his will to live is indestructible.
His comrades-in-arms carried him into a dilapidated temple with a bracket, as a strategic shift was imminent, and they had to climb over vast meadows and snow-capped mountains.
Long journeys could have claimed the lives of these wounded. Therefore, the head of the unit left a sum of money and some fighters to recuperate from their wounds in the homes of the villagers. Because of his meritorious deeds, the head of the unit left a considerable sum of money for the first time, leaving him at the home of a certain landlord to recuperate from his wounds.
At the same time, he also left a hygienist and correspondent to take care of him.
A landlord who was keen on the red faith, after hearing that Kong Xianquan was a Red Army, was overjoyed to leave him behind, and asked the doctor to take care of him. Soon, Kong Xianquan's injuries healed, but he found that the troops had left, his leg was shortened by the bullet, and he could no longer serve in the army.
Kong wrote a letter to General Huang Yong in 1950, asking if he could be offered a job. General Huang Yong was his old leader, who had joined the Communist Party under the introduction of Huang Kecheng and followed General Huang Yong on the battlefield.
After receiving the letter from his old subordinates, General Huang Yong was in a good mood and immediately reported the situation to **. **After research, it was decided to establish 21 revolutionary memorial halls, including the Zunyi Conference, which was the most important stop during the strategic transfer period.
The state decided to hand over the task of preparing for the construction of the Zunyi Conference Memorial Hall to Kong Xianquan. Kong Xianquan's reputation in the local area is extremely high, first, because he is honest and benevolent, second, because of his special status, and third, because the local information is closed, and people are generally superstitious.
Therefore, when Kong Xianquan accepted the task, he quickly received strong support from the local people. Everyone worked together to quickly collect a large amount of information, and under the leadership of Kong Xianquan, the old site of the Zunyi Conference was restored and renovated.
In 1955, the Provincial Bureau of Culture officially approved the establishment of the Zunyi Conference Memorial Hall, and Kong Xianquan became the first director. As the curator, he did not stop there, but led the team to compile the book "The Red Army's Long March in Guizhou", so he was highly praised by Deng Gong: "You are the best person to hold this position." ”
