After 60 years of military career, Xu narrowly escaped death. From the recruit to the founding general, he lived and died one step at a time. On the Long March, he participated in the death squad seven times and was injured four times. During the siege of Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet area against the Sixth Route Army, he held the belief of survival by position, led soldiers to repel the enemy's charge again and again, and defeated his enemies several times. Gannan made a rest, and he led the army to fight Hu Zongnan for two days and two nights, destroying the enemy. From then on, he opened the door of Gannan and won a way out for the Long March.
During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Chen Geng lured the Japanese army into strengthening the infantry squadron in the Battle of Xiangchenggu, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. In the campaign of sweeping Jiaodong, Xu led the army and civilians in Jiaodong, crushed the Japanese puppet occupation strategy with flexible tactics and strengthened the people's armed forces. After 1945, Xu participated in the battle of Laiwu, the battle of Menglianggu and the battle of Jiaodong, and became famous step by step in the war.
He is an invincible commander in chief on the battlefield, but he is an incompetent son on the battlefield. At that time, several families were perfect. How many soldiers didn't give up their families for everyone? Many people come back in the middle of the night and never shed tears of missing!
During the war, General Xu was not at home. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, for the construction of this country, he only went home twice from 1952 to 1959, kneeling in front of his old mother every time, unwilling to get up, and unable to restrain the tears of regret every time.
His mother died, and he finally didn't have time to see her for the last time. The news that her mother was dying was also learned by the local notice! He cried like a child, a sad child without a mother! He can't sleep well for days!
The organization proposed cremation after death and asked every party member to sign it, but he refused! He didn't want the bones to disappear after his mother died. He is eager to be buried next to her grave after her death, so that she can't be filial before her death and stay with her forever after her death! Finally, his wish came true and his request was approved by the organization. He is dead. General You Taizhong personally chose a nanmu coffin for him and buried it beside his mother's grave!
General Xu was filial, but that era was cruel. For the country, he abandoned his family, but his heart has always been tied to his loved ones!
