The ethnic contradiction between China and Japan is a historical contradiction, and there is a blood feud between China and Japan in history. History will not forget, nor will the people of China forget the countless heinous crimes committed by the Japanese aggressors. Of course, we will never forget the soldiers and civilians of China who fought for national independence and liberation in this process. The founding generals of New China, without exception, fought the Japanese to the death. * * * The army of the production party is the army of the people and represents the will of the people. So the victory of the * * * production party is the victory of the people. Every time we win the battle with the Japanese army, the people will cheer for it. General Hu Qicai's battle in Yeyuan was like this.
1July, 937, the Japanese army invaded China in an all-round way, and the state cooperated. General Hu Qicai first served as the deputy head of the 770th regiment of the 358th Brigade of129th Division, and later sent to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University for study. After graduation, I was in charge of the work behind enemy lines in Shandong. 1August, 938, served as deputy detachment leader of the eighth detachment of the Eighth Route Army Shandong Column. 1940 served as commander of the first detachment, 1943 served as director of the general staff office of Luzhong Military Region in March. In the process of the general's continuous promotion, the general gradually understood the Japanese marching strategy through constant contact with the Japanese army, and made many outstanding achievements.
In Yishui World War I, a large number of Japanese puppet troops were killed and captured. With Wang Jianan's ambush in Gezhuang, he not only killed and captured a large number of enemies, but also captured a Japanese cannon and a large number of weapons and equipment. 1945 in may, the eighth route army began to counterattack. On June 5, the battle of Anqiu broke out. General Hu Qicai is responsible for destroying Yeyuan fortress. The general has surrounded Yeyuan. When the Japanese heard the news, they sent troops to support them. The general is already familiar with the Japanese routine, how can he let the other side get what they want?
The Japanese army sent a team of 33 people to support the enemy of Yeyuan, and the general had already ambushed outside Linqu County. Once again, win with the tactics of "surrounding the point gang". The general directly annihilated the Japanese army and captured an interpreter with the enemy surrounded by Nogaki as bait. On weekdays, the Japanese army here is very rampant, harming the people everywhere, and the people hate it. When the general came, the Japanese army here disappeared directly.
Faced with such good news, the people made up songs and sang everywhere: "Hu Qicai, really brave, commanded the Eighth Route Army to attack Yeyuan, killed 33 devils and captured an interpreter alive." This shows the joy of the people. The general just felt that he had done what he should have done, and never thought that he would be so praised by the people. General Chi Haotian told him about it, and he didn't know about it.
It turns out that Chi Haotian went to Yimeng Mountain on the third day when he was a political commissar in jinan military area command.
1986 In the summer, the political commissar of Chi saw an old man fishing in Yishui on his way to Linqu. He looks over 60 years old, with gray hair, but in good spirits. When the late political commissar saw it, he felt like a legendary master, so he got off the bus and chatted with him. During the exchange, he found that the late political commissar had fought in Linqu, so he caressed his beard and asked with a smile, "Do you know a commander Hu?" The late political commissar replied, "Is it General Hu Qicai?" Hearing this, the fisherman was overjoyed, dancing with a pipe in his mouth and singing, "Hu Qicai, you are so brave! He commanded the Eighth Route Army to attack Yeyuan, killed 33 devils and captured an interpreter alive. " 1987, Chi Haotian went to Beijing for a meeting, specially wrote this anti-Japanese folk song and gave it to General Hu Qicai.
After more than 30 years, the folk songs sung during the Anti-Japanese War are still fresh in the memory of the elderly over 60 years old. When you mention General Hu Qicai, you can sing folk songs. Imagine that we can clearly remember what happened 30 years ago. This must be very important for us personally. What the old man remembers is not his own affairs, but General Hu Qicai, which shows that what General Hu Qicai did far exceeded what he did and left a deep impression on him. Isn't it?
History will always remember those who made contributions to the journey of national independence, just as fishermen remember ballads.
The northeast battlefield is the place where the two sides wrestle after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The Kuomintang has the support of the United States, and the American army has long been in cahoots with the national army in Qinhuangdao. At this time, General Hu Qicai served as the commander of the third column of the Northeast People's Autonomous Army, responsible for preventing the national army from landing in Dagushan to Piziwo. 1946 The troops were reorganized, and General Hu Qicai was appointed as the fourth longitudinal deputy commander. The Kuomintang tried to wipe out the liberated areas in South Manchuria. Facing the enemy's attack, we decided to wipe out the enemy in the movement. General Hu Qicai deeply understood the spirit of the Central Committee. Move while attacking and wait for the opportunity.
Soon the opportunity will come. I met with the 25th Division of the reorganization, which is known as a swift horse of the Kuomintang. The 25th Division of the Kuomintang is a famous unit directly under the jurisdiction of Chiang Kai-shek. Its military equipment is based on the US military. Teacher Li Zhengyi is not a nobody, but a student of Huangpu Phase IV. The 25th Division is good at long-distance raids and has the nickname of "Qianliju".
However, this power is not without its weaknesses. First, Zheng-yi Li looked down on the * * * army and thought that our army was poorly equipped and could not be compared with the national army. Once they meet, the army will surely fail. Second, our army has obvious advantages in sports and operations, and can seize the opportunity before the enemy exerts his "swift horse" ability.
General Hu Qicai directly gave up some positions and concentrated on attacking Maggie. In this way, the 25th Division had to come back and exchange fire in Shuangziling. At this time, our army has no advantage, and the situation of the 25 th Division is favorable. Hu Qicai gave up decisively and looked for another opportunity. Hu Qicai will choose the location in Xinkailin, ready to lure the enemy here.
When Li Zheng saw our army beating and retreating, he thought we were defeated and went directly to the 4th longitudinal ambush. The siege has been formed, and Hu Qicai led the troops to destroy the 25th Division. However, the battlefield is changing rapidly. Our 10 division failed to reach the designated combat position ahead of time due to objective reasons, giving the 25th division an opportunity. After all, the 25th Division is one of the ace troops, and it directly captured Laoyeling, ready to break through. The situation was critical and the 25th Division was finally surrounded. I wonder when the next opportunity will come. Hu Qicai, in a crisis, organized an attack directly, and let the column artillery regiment take back Laoyeling under cover. Seeing that the enemy's reinforcements were about to arrive, Hu Qicai knew that time was really running out. The general decisively ordered an attack on the enemy division and destroyed the radio station. In this way, this "pony" is blind. A debacle, 25 division hq was attacked, the rest of the troops all messed up, was quickly won by Hu Qicai.
The battle of Xinkailing was fruitful. This war was the first large-scale annihilation war after the founding of the Fourth Vertical, which fully demonstrated the command ability of General Hu Qicai. There are essential differences between tactical commanders and campaign commanders. In the First World War of Xinkailing, General Hu Qicai completed the transformation and was recognized by military experts: "You can advance and retreat, and you can advance and retreat without losing the initiative. There are encirclement and outburst, the encirclement is ten times that of the enemy, and the outburst is ten times that of one. Both tenacious and mobile, tenacious in attack, not as good as the rest; Maneuver means striding forward and backward, waiting for the opportunity to destroy the enemy. " It can be said that this is an accurate and pertinent evaluation.
As we all know, there is a concept in war theory called "the dimension of war". From ancient times to the present, the concept of the dimension of war has been used in many battles with fewer victories. On the battlefield, it is not a simple strength competition. Mastering the dimension of war is the key to winning. Mao Zedong was a military expert who applied war to the extreme, and General Hu Qicai also touched on this point. After World War I, the general gained fame and accumulated valuable combat experience.
Revolutionaries of the older generation, such as General Hu Qicai, regard life and death very lightly, let alone fame and fortune.
In fact, General Hu Qicai's original name was Hu Qicai. 1939, General Hu Qicai met his later wife Wang Zhiyuan when he was in Shandong. When they got married, General Hu Qicai made a report to his superior. Zhu Rui, secretary of the Shandong branch, gave instructions in the report: "Agree to the marriage of Comrade Hu Qicai and Comrade Wang Zhiyuan." Mistakenly writing his wealth as a "wizard", the general went to the front the next day and didn't care.
Later, someone teased the general: "Hu Lao, now he advocates making a fortune. Do you want to change your name? " The general smiled indifferently and replied, "Let others get rich!"
China people believe in fate, and consider their name as a symbol, which will affect their luck. Many people change their names and preach geomantic omen in order to keep their luck. The general was originally named "Cai" and later changed to "Cai". You can change your wealth back. However, for a general, life is not about getting rich, but a higher pursuit. So, I don't care much about names.
It's hard to be indifferent to money. But the general did it. Because the general has a higher level: the meaning of life lies in how much contribution he has made, not how much money he has mastered. All generals will say things that make people rich.
A man like General Hu Qicai is an eternal monument. As the general wrote in his memoir "Rough Road": "It is not easy to win the world. Countless martyrs have won today's victory and peace. Their deeds will be immortal, and their reputation will be immortal! "
