He has been recuperating since 1940, but he was the second of the ten generals of our party, and he was shot through the face by a bullet and almost died. ”
He is our protagonist today - General Xu Haidong, so what role did Xu Haidong play in the history of our country? 
[Founding General Xu Haidong].Let's move on. On June 17, 1900, in the poor family of Xujiaqiao Village, Huangpi, Hubei, Xu Haidong was born, and the birth of Xu Haidong made the already not rich family even worse, Xu Haidong left home to work as a potter for 11 years in his youth in order to reduce the burden of the family. 
[General Xu Haidong during the war].Fortunately, the revolution broke out later, and Xu Haidong's jade was not buried in the kiln. Xu Haidong joined the Communist Party of China in 1925 and began his life. In 1927, when the Jute Uprising broke out, Xu Haidong actively participated in it, grew up step by step in the Red Army, and finally grew into a division commander in the Red Army camp. 
[Xu Haidong (first from left) and ** and other cadres in Xi'an].In that year, the situation was originally very good, but it ran into the outbreak of two coups Xu Haidong traveled to many places, as the commander of the Red Army, he has been running around for the organization, and has repeatedly defeated the enemy in guerrilla warfare and frontal battlefields. And Xu Haidong has suffered a lot of injuries because he often goes to the front line, and once he was shot through the cheek and almost died on the spot. 
[Xu Haidong in the Anti-Japanese War].The reactionaries must not have been happy to see such a victorious general in the Red Army, so the reactionaries who could not find Xu Haidong turned their minds to Xu Haidong's family, and the reactionaries who were defeated by Xu Haidong on the battlefield hunted down Xu Haidong's family. In the later statistics, we can learn that 66 of Xu Haidong's family members were killed during the war, and the great man said after knowing it: "Xu Haidong shed the most blood for New China." "And about Xu Haidong and the great man, there is a story that has to be told. As everyone knows, although our party led the peasant revolution, funds were still very important, and at that time there was a great shortage of economic talents in our Red Army, and most of the time, the Red Army was unable to make ends meet. The great man once encountered a shortage of funds, when it was autumn to winter, the Red Army soldiers needed clothes for the winter, the great man had not enough funds at that time, the great man had to write to Xu Haidong for help, and wanted to borrow 2,500 yuan from Xu Haidong as winter military expenses. 
[After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Haidong (right) at the military parade].After Xu Haidong learned about the matter, he borrowed 5,000 yuan from the great man to let the great man and the ** Red Army survive the cold winter smoothly, which made the great man very moved, and the great man will still sigh when he looks back many years later, if it were not for Xu Haidong, that winter would have been extremely difficult. But in January 1940, Xu Haidong could only withdraw from the front-line battle because of his old illness, and the great man wrote a letter to Xu Haidong to recuperate and not take care of anything else. 
[The great man wrote a letter to Xu Haidong to recuperate].It is precisely because of this that American journalist Edgar ** wrote in "Red Star Shining over China": "Among the military leaders of the Communist Party of China, I am afraid that no one can be more 'famous' than Xu Haidong, and there is certainly no one more mysterious than him." Later, after the founding of New China, the great man decided to rank Xu Haidong after Su Yu as the second largest general after comprehensive consideration of many factors.
