Like many high-ranking generals who participated in the revolution during the Red Army, General Qin Jiwei also had the nickname "Qin Dadao". The difference is that his old comrades-in-arms say that he also loves to learn new things.
When he was in the Red Army, the general loved to pick up the big knife, and the nickname "Qin big knife" was called famous at that time;
When he was the commander of the Eighth Route Army, the general was particularly fond of mortars, but whenever the mortars of the Japanese army were captured, the general would use them to ponder and personally shoot a few cannons to be considered enjoyable;
When he was the commander of a PLA column, the general learned to drive a car without a teacher, and he was also interested in the application of radio in military command.
When he was the commander of the Volunteer Army, the general was particularly fond of the "Katyusha" rocket artillery, and in the famous Battle of Shangganling, the general commanded the "Katyusha" to burst into flames, and the US soldiers were beaten to cry wolf, and after the war, it took 15 large trucks to pull the corpses of the US soldiers.
During the Anti-Japanese War, General Qin Jiwei was even more vicious to the Japanese devils who brutally killed our people and the traitors who aided and abused, which made the Japanese and traitors terrified.
In November 1937, the 129th Division under the command of the commander of the Eighth Route Army established an independent detachment, with Qin Jiwei as the commander and Lai Jifa as the political commissar, so everyone is used to calling it the "Qin Lai Detachment".
During this period, the Japanese army frequently "swept up", and the Eighth Route Army was often in a passive state. In order to obtain accurate information, Li Da, commander of the Taihang Military Region, asked all sub-divisions to arrest prisoners, but the Japanese devils were not easy to catch, and they finally caught one or two devils, and in the end the devils were still "broken". General Qin Jiwei's first division did not catch a single devil prisoner for a whole month.
General Qin Jiwei was not convinced: "Do the Japanese have three heads and six arms?" I still don't believe it. Look at me! ”
He took a platoon and plunged headlong into the "model county" of the two Japanese devils, Jingcheng and Zhulu. General Qin Jiwei analyzed that just because it is a so-called "model county", the enemy will be more paralyzed by the enemy, and in addition, it is more meaningful to capture a devil prisoner from the devil's "model county".
General Qin Jiwei learned a detail from the local enemy cadres and military engineering teams, there is no ** between the Japanese strongholds, and they all rely on the liaison soldiers to transmit news regularly, Qin Jiwei patted his thigh and said: "Just arrest his liaison soldiers." ”
After finding out the rules of the activities of the Japanese liaison troops, General Qin Jiwei prepared to start. Before leaving, he had two ropes and a wooden pole ready, and selected four strong warriors, who asked, "What are we doing with ropes and poles?" ”
Qin Jiwei said: "The little devil refuses to be a prisoner, even if he is caught, we have to prevent them from not cooperating, tying them up with ropes and carrying them away, aren't they honest?" ”
So why are the soldiers on this mission all big men? "The fighters still have questions to ask.
The general was happy and said with a smile: "The big man has great strength! Today I will take you to play a game of 'tying wild boars', carrying 'night pigs' is a personal work. ”
The soldiers were still puzzled, and followed General Qin Jiwei into the green gauze tent, and they lurked on the road between the enemy's two strongholds.
A Japanese soldier really rode a donkey into the ambush point on time, and the general gave an order, and four soldiers with tall oxen and horses suddenly pounced on the devil, and the frightened devil soldier and the donkey were immediately thrown to the ground.
The devil who was pressed to the ground screamed, and a soldier hurriedly covered his mouth, but the devil soldier bit his finger, and he stomped his foot in pain, and finally broke free.
The soldier hurriedly tore off his dirty socks and tried his best to block the mouth of the devil soldier, and several other soldiers used the prepared rope to tie the hands of the devil liaison soldier together, and the two feet were also tied together, and the big wooden pole was inserted into the middle, and several soldiers with high oxen and horses carried the devil liaison soldier back alive like carrying a "wild boar".
Later, the soldiers joked: "This trip to follow the commander to capture prisoners is really enjoyable!" ”
On January 4, 1938, the Japanese army swept Yanman Village in Qi County, killing 23 villagers and raping more than 40 women; On February 13, the Japanese army occupied Pingyao, with more than 1,000 residents in the city; On March 30, the Japanese army killed more than 290 people in Taigu, 3 women were raped to death, and more than 1,300 houses were burned down ......
The bad news came one after another like a sharp knife, stabbing all the officers and soldiers of the "Qin Lai Detachment", and General Qin Jiwei was even more sad and indignant, burning with anger, eager to immediately enter the enemy formation and avenge the villagers.
However, the reason why Qin Jiwei was able to gradually grow into a senior commander of our army in the later years was not only the courage to fight hard and with enthusiasm, but also the wisdom and strategy to kill the enemy and win. In the face of the Japanese with elite soldiers and artillery, General Qin Jiwei decided that since he could not attack by force, he would change his way of fighting.
General Qin Jiwei issued an order to the staff office, enemy work stations, and guerrillas in various counties and districts: It is necessary to draw up a list of traitors who lead the way for the Japanese as soon as possible, and grasp the whereabouts of the scattered detachments of the Japanese army.
On the night of April 2, 1938, the military and civilians of 10 counties southeast of Taiyuan acted together to assist the capture team sent by the "Qinlai Detachment" to kill more than 100 heinous traitors overnight. The inscription is: Qin Lai Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.
More than 70 Japanese puppet strongholds were fiercely attacked by the "Qin Lai Detachment" almost at the same time, more than 260 traitors were killed, and Japanese officers and soldiers were also killed and wounded.
General Qin Jiwei's ruthless trick of "playing" shocked the Japanese into dissipation, and the traitors were even more frightened, and there was a panic in the enemy-occupied area, and the Japanese army easily did not dare to go out, and the traitors were even more restless, and their arrogance was much more restrained.
General Qin Jiwei has had a strong interest in new things all his life, and has never stopped learning, so to speak, interest has accompanied the general's life, in which the general has continued to learn and improve, from an ordinary soldier who dares to fight the enemy, and gradually grew into a senior general commanding thousands of troops.
General Qin Jiwei was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955 and was awarded the Order of August 1 of the Second Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom of the First Class, the Order of Liberation of the First Class, and in 1988, General Qin Jiwei was awarded the rank of General.
