Unit 8341 is a mysterious force in the eyes of the older generation, and its few digits have caused a lot of speculation and imagination. What makes people feel even more mysterious is that the unit is responsible for protecting the leadership and often performs special tasks, so it has a strong deterrent effect in the country.
In fact, this unit has another name, and that is the "** Guard Regiment". There was once a founding lieutenant general who served as the former chief officer of Unit 8341, and he was an excellent military commander who was once praised by ***.
He has the merit of "escorting" on the Long March, so who is he?
In 1934, the Red Army under the leadership of ** formulated a strategic deployment, with Shaxian County in Fujian Province as an important strategic point. However, in the battle of attacking Shaxian, the stubborn resistance of the enemy made our army extremely heavy.
At this time, the Red Tenth Regiment was ordered to be in danger, and the regiment commander led the main attack company to rush to the city wall and engaged in a fierce life-and-death struggle with the enemy. These more than fifty fighters succeeded in attracting enemy fire, which allowed the main forces of the Red Army to storm the county seat.
In the county town, the Red Army engaged in street battles with enemy troops. During the battle, the regimental commander was unfortunately attacked by the enemy in the shadows, was slashed in the face, bleeding profusely, and fainted to the ground. The regimental commander's facial bone was severed, and many thought he might die as a result.
However, it is surprising that the regimental commander miraculously survived. Unfortunately, he was left with a deep scar on his face, giving it a sense of seriousness and majesty.
Those who are not familiar with him may be in awe of his serious expression, while those who are familiar with him affectionately call him "Yao Yidao", which is the founding lieutenant general Yao Zhe.
Yao Zhe, born in 1906, joined the revolution at the age of 19, and was already the captain of the fourth column of the Red Fifth Army when he joined the party in 1929. His courage and skill in fighting and the appreciation of the leaders who are only able to use their talents enabled him to rise rapidly on the road of revolution.
His fearless style of operations deeply disturbed the local reactionary authorities, who even issued a warrant for his arrest. Yao Zhe was forced to flee his hometown, and later played well under Mr. Peng and made many achievements.
This is undoubtedly his luck, because he and Mr. Peng have many similarities, and the two appreciate each other and have similar personalities. ** once praised Mr. Peng, "Who dares to cross the sword immediately, only I am General Peng", this praise undoubtedly also had a profound impact on Yao Zhe, making him show Mr. Peng's heroic spirit in the war and become Mr. Peng's favorite general.
Yao Zhe, a warrior during the Red Army, was wounded five times but still insisted on fighting. His bravery and tenacity were demonstrated after the attack on Shaxian, where he was honored as "Yao Yidao" and served as the garrison commander of the two districts.
During that difficult period of the White Terror, many people turned their backs on the party and organizations, but Yao Zhe held on to his beliefs and became the core force of the Red Army. With the beginning of the Long March, protecting the safety of the leaders of the ** Red Army became an extremely important task, and the State Political Security Bureau was established, with Yao Zhe as the chief officer.
The burden on him is heavier, and the personal safety of the leading cadres is all handed over to him. ** Said to him trustingly: "Open the way in the mountains, have your own forward; When the enemy rushes to the rescue, it depends on you. ”
Yao Zhe shouldered a heavy responsibility at a critical moment and eliminated all difficulties for the Red Army. He lived up to the trust of the party, was flexible in tactics, had strong emergency response capabilities, took the lead on the battlefield, and became a model for the soldiers.
In one battle, he was injured in his right foot but continued to fight, and later contracted a fever and his foot was swollen and it was difficult to walk. Originally, he was supposed to stay at his hometown's house to recuperate, but he insisted on following the Red Army's Long March, relying only on a horse and a guard, and he managed to keep up with the team.
His firm belief in the party made Yao Zhe the backbone of the Long March, and praised him for his "meritorious escort" on the Long March. His political security regiment completed its tasks brilliantly and laid the foundation for the later establishment of the ** guard regiment.
Therefore, Yao Zhe's ability and military literacy are impeccable.
Yao Zhe took on heavy responsibilities during the Long March, and rose to prominence during the Anti-Japanese War, he performed well in the advance of Daqingshan and the transfer to the southwest of Sui, won outstanding military exploits, and now he has grown into an outstanding military general.
In 1955, when the whole army conferred the title, he was awarded the founding lieutenant general, and his exploits shine in the long river of history and will be remembered forever by the world.
