From the founding of the Republic of China in 1912 to the founding of New China in 1949, in this history, we have experienced the Northern Expedition, the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation. In the days of war, we have many military generals who are good at leading soldiers to fight, many heroic and fearless combat heroes, and many heroic teams that cooperate in killing the enemy and winning many battles on the battlefield.
These heroic teams are like a sharp knife that takes the lead in attacking, fiercely inserting into the chest of the enemy, making the enemy smell discolored, and the 73rd Regiment of the Ninth Column of Huaye is such a heroic regiment.
During the Liberation War, this heroic regiment participated in the Battle of Jinan, took the lead in attacking the inner city of Jinan, killed the head of the city of Jinan, and planted the red flag of "Enter Jinan Province, Capture Wang Yaowu Alive" and planted it at a high place in the head of Jinan City, frightening Wang Yaowu to flee in a hurry.
The battle took only eight days to capture the city of Jinan, a stronghold of the Kuomintang. Therefore, the People's Liberation Army launched the first battle of attacking the city, broke through the strategic points of the Kuomintang army, created a historical precedent for our army, and greatly enhanced the confidence of our army in the battle of capturing the city.
In this battle, the 73rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the Ninth Column of Huaye fought bravely, opened the door for our army to attack the city of Jinan, and made great contributions to the victory of this battle. At the same time, the Ninth Column annihilated nearly 30,000 enemy troops in this battle, and it also paid the price of more than 10,000 casualties, and the Seventy-third Regiment fought with only three companies left, with huge sacrifices.
After this battle, for the outstanding performance of the 73rd Regiment in the Battle of Jinan, it was awarded by the Central Military Commission"
The First Regiment of Jinan
"Hero title.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the elite unit of the Seventy-third Regiment was reorganized and reorganized into the 235th Regiment of the 79th Division of the 27th Army.
In 1973, Qin Jiwei's youngest son, Qin Tian, joined the army, and the team he was in was the 235th Regiment with the title of Hero Regiment. After Qin Tian enlisted in the army, he trained seriously in the army, studied hard, performed well in actual combat, and rose from soldier to commander of the 235th regiment step by step.
In September 1986, the Beijing Military Region received an order from its superiors that our troops should be reassembled, open up the Sino-Vietnamese battlefield, and defend the Laoshan border, including the 235th Regiment led by Qin Tian.
This was the first time That Qin Tian had led troops to fight, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little nervous in his heart. If there is a war, there will definitely be bloodshed and sacrifice, bullets on the battlefield do not have long eyes, and Qin Tian is worried that he will die in southern Xinjiang and will never come back. Therefore, before going to the border battle, Qin Tian returned home and said goodbye to his father, Qin Jiwei, who was then the commander of the Beijing Military Region.
With tears in his eyes, Qin Tian stood in front of his father and said, "Father, I am about to go to Vietnam to fight, and I may not be able to fulfill your filial piety!" "As the founding general of the country, Qin Jiwei, who is now also the commander of the Beijing Military Region, was originally full of joy, hoping that his son would have the opportunity to go to the battlefield and make military merits.
Therefore, Qin Jiwei not only did not lead his son's love, but did not act according to the tragic script, but also rebuked Qin Tian angrily, and he angrily said:
What are you kid crying about? What is this little battle, compared to our past wars?
When Qin Tianyi heard this, he was very aggrieved, wasn't he worried that he had a case? But under the majesty of his father, he still did not speak.
In this way, Qin Tian took his father's different words of advent and embarked on the journey of border combat. In this battle, Qin Tian had courage and strategy, successfully completed the task of defending the defense, and fought a beautiful battle with the soldiers of the 235th Regiment and the whole regiment of soldiers to win the collective second class.
Later, Qin Tian recalled: "My father was teaching me the principle of leading soldiers to fight, as a regimental commander, leading a regiment, you can't be a mother-in-law, your children are long-term, you must be decisive and resolute, in order to win victory on the battlefield." ”
This is the story of Qin Jiwei's second son, Qin Tian, and from his story we can see Qin Jiwei's strict education of his children. Qin Tian was later promoted to the rank of major general, and later to the rank of lieutenant general of the armed police, and held an important position in the Central Military Commission.

In fact, not only Qin Tian, Qin Jiwei's second son and daughter were very accomplished. The eldest son, Qin Weijiang, as the eldest son of Qin Jiwei, was more strictly educated by his father, and under the influence of his father, he worked hard to pursue a master's degree, becoming the only military commander at that time to be awarded a master's degree in military science by the National Defense University. In 2012 he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.
And Qin Jiwei's younger daughter Qin Qi (

Jiang, although he did not embark on the road of joining the army, fell in love freely with Air Force Lieutenant General Yang Dongming and eventually entered the palace of marriage. Yang Dongming's father is the "Zhao Zilong in the army" Yang Chengwu, whom we are familiar with, and he was the first general to be awarded the title after the founding of New China.
Qin Qijiang himself was also very good, embarked on the road of business, once served as the general manager of the trade department of China Everbright Group, and then held important leadership positions in many large companies.
General Qin Jiwei is a veritable general's home. Such a glorious lintel is really enviable, and it is also a great blessing for the people of the country. The tiger father has no dogs, Lao Tzu's heroes are good men, and the achievements of the children of the Qin family are inseparable from their father's earnest teachings.
Qin Jiwei was a general of the People's Army of our country who was both wise, courageous, and meritorious; he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general at the conferment ceremony in 1955, and then entered the Korean War to fight, leading the famous Battle of Shangganling in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and became famous in the First World War. In 1988, at the age of 74, Qin Jiwei was awarded the rank of general.

Next, let's talk about the legendary life of General Qin Jiwei:
On November 16, 1914, Qin Jiwei was born in Qinluozhuang, Qiliping, Huang'an County, Hubei Province. His father was an honest farmer, and he also did a little craftsmanship, which was an ancient craft, that is, to make various living utensils from bamboo. My mother was an ordinary rural woman.
When Qin Jiwei was born, there was already an older brother and an older sister in the family, who were quite different from him and could help him do the family work. Their family planted a few acres of thin land, and in the old society where the people at the bottom were oppressed everywhere, Qin Jiwei's family supported each other and could barely support their lives.
Under the care of his father and brother and sister, little Qin Jiwei did not understand the suffering outside, had a carefree childhood, and also learned several agricultural techniques under his father's words and deeds, which could help adults plant seedlings and fertilize. However, man-made disasters cannot withstand natural disasters.
In 1924, a plague struck, and Qin Jiwei's family, including his mother, father, uncle and brother, died one after another. The sister had no choice but to marry away from home, leaving Qin Jiwei alone, almost to the situation of wandering on the street and begging along the street.
If all goes well, Qin Jiwei will also grow up healthy and will not join the revolutionary ranks prematurely. Because of this, the times create heroes, and heroes can also change the times. With the stubbornness and perseverance rarely found in people of this age, Qin Jiwei dared to fight against fate and used his own efforts to save himself and change the future.
At that time, the warlords were fighting, the people were not happy, the National Revolutionary Army began the Northern Expedition in a mighty way, and the Communist Party of China also led the masses to revolt in various places. Huang'an County, Hubei Province, was one of the earliest birthplaces of the Chinese revolution, and the uprising came quickly here.
Qin Jiwei did all kinds of hard work in order to survive, and at the same time he was also exposed to many new ideas and new concepts, and in this birthplace of the Chinese revolution, he was more deeply influenced and influenced by revolutionary ideas, so he embarked on the revolutionary road in his early teens. He actively participated in various political activities in the village and was recruited as a member of the Self-Defense Force of Huang'an County.
In the autumn of 1927, the Communist Party of China launched a huge "jute uprising" in Huang'an County, and the 13-year-old Qin Jiwei led the members of the Self-Defense Forces to actively participate in the uprising and performed well. Since the "Jute Uprising", Qin Jiwei has longed to join the ranks of the Red Army and become a real Red Army soldier.
So in the second half of 1929, Qin Jiwei accompanied several members of the Red Guards to the local Soviet government, softly and hard soaked a letter of introduction, and on the same day, he rushed all the way to join the Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and embarked on the journey of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolution.
Qin Jiwei, who joined the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, also participated in the 25,000-mile Long March with the large troops. During this period, he had just become a company commander, and because of his straightforward temperament, he also got the nickname of "Qin Dadao".
It was 1931 when the attack on Huang'an City was in full swing, and the other units of the Red Fourth Front were fighting fiercely in the battle, but the company led by Qin Jiwei was idle all day, holding guns and large knives to guard the Red Army headquarters. Where qin Jiwei could bear this, watching other teams go into battle to kill the enemy, he could only shrink to the base camp.
On this day, the intolerable Qin Company Commander kicked open the camp commander's door and shouted:
Battalion commander, I'm not going to do it! Who will stand in this post, my troops will go to the battlefield to fight!
"The battalion commander, who knows his disposition, knows that it is useless to persuade him, but this base camp still has to be guarded, and he is a hero at this time."
So, the battalion commander didn't even look up at him, and said lightly, "Okay, if you want to be a hero, you can be yourself." Leave the company behind, leave the gun behind, and carry the big knife yourself. If you win this battle, you will be sealed with a big Qin sword. ”

When Qin Jiwei heard the battalion commander's words, he knew that the battalion commander was changing the law and laughing at his own empty enthusiasm, but he did not use his brain. As a result, he suddenly fell like a deflated balloon, and knowing that there was no hope for him to fight, he immediately obediently went back to stand guard. Although Qin Jiwei did not go to the battlefield as he wished, his sword technique was quite convincing, otherwise the battalion commander would not have joked with him carrying a large knife to the battlefield.
And he broke into the room of the battalion commander, insisted on going to the battlefield, and was told by the battalion commander that the matter of playing with a big knife was widely spread in the troops, and since then the nickname of "Qin Da Dao" has been called habitual by everyone. One is to praise him for having a good knife technique, and the other is to say that he has a straightforward personality.
With the baptism of the battlefield again and again, Qin Jiwei also matured and stabilized a lot. During the period of the agrarian revolution, under the leadership of Xu Xiangqian, he participated in successive anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations, performed well, and was promoted all the way to the rank of regiment commander.
By the time of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Qin Jiwei had become the commander of the guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army. Qin Jiwei not only fought bravely on the battlefield, but also commanded the guerrillas in the rear and had his own set of guerrilla skills. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the organization ordered him to go to the Taihang Mountains, unite the front, encourage the anti-Japanese resistance, organize the anti-Japanese armed forces, and create the Taihang Mountains Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area.
Therefore, he went alone to Taigu County to organize the anti-Japanese armed forces, and when he arrived, he was warmly welcomed by the county magistrate. Here, he saw that people from all walks of life strongly supported the Anti-Japanese proposition of "stopping the civil war and uniting with the outside world" put forward by the Communist Party of China.
Therefore, Qin Jiwei actively publicized, assisted the underground county party committee, and used his network of contacts to set up a guerrilla warfare training class as a military instructor of the "Shanxi Sacrifice National Salvation Alliance Association" and encouraged patriots from all walks of life to join in. Under his active organization and training, in less than a month, he pulled up an anti-Japanese armed contingent of more than 300 people composed of patriots from all walks of life.
With the successive losses in the Taiyuan area, Qin Jiwei was so anxious that he opened the arsenal of the county public security bureau and armed his troops. With the consent of the underground county party committee, it was played"
Taigu anti-Japanese guerrillas
Under the banner of "All the way to the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi."
In the town at the top of the Taihang Mountains, he met the old chief Xu Xiangqian, so he gave a detailed report on the specific situation of his guerrilla group to the old chief, and asked him to speak to the guerrillas, and the 772 regiment at that time also organized a party for the comrades of the guerrillas.
Figure | Xu forward
During these activities, the guerrilla unit led by Qin Jiwei experienced the overall atmosphere of the large troops, saw the rigorous combat style and tense living order of the main forces, and also learned a lot about the current anti-Japanese situation and combat pattern.
Subsequently, Xu Xiangqian integrated the three guerrilla groups that had successively arrived at the Taihang Mountains into one unit, and called them the "Qin Lai Detachment" to the outside world, with Qin Jiwei as commander and Lai Jifa as the political commissar, taking root in the Taihang Mountains and waging an arduous struggle against the Japanese guerrilla war.
At that time, although the number of this team was large, it was extremely poorly equipped, with only one hundred and eighty guns and cold weapons. Moreover, there were only a very small number of backbone personnel of the Workers' and Peasants' Army in the ranks, and most of the rest were enthusiastic young people who had just joined the army, and there were more than a hundred "student soldiers" alone.
The students are full of experience and understand a lot of great principles for saving the country and the people, but they are not accustomed to military life and are not very accustomed to the strict discipline in the organization. Moreover, none of the other five or three Red Army soldiers in the ranks were reluctant to deal with the "student soldiers," and the remaining workers' and peasant cadres were reluctant to bring these recruits.
At this time, Qin Jiwei, who had not read books and had no culture, took the initiative to take the lead in dealing with the "student soldiers", asking them about cultural matters, and also learning, reading, writing, and new knowledge and culture with them. At the same time, he also patiently taught the student soldiers the skills of marching and fighting, and taught them to ride horses and shoot guns and guerrilla warfare.
Thanks to Qin Jiwei's efforts, everyone got along well with these "student soldiers," and some workers' and peasant cadres and Red Army soldiers also got rid of their "big old and rough" hats and could read books and newspapers and write family letters. After coming into contact with intellectuals, Qin Jiwei became more aware of the importance of mastering knowledge and culture, whether on the front line of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, or on the front line of liberation, or even in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and has maintained the fine habit of writing a diary every day for nearly two decades.
After the fall of Taiyuan City, the Japanese Kou relocated strongholds along the lines of communication, "swept around", and maimed the people. Qin Jiwei led the "Qin Lai Detachment" to make full use of guerrilla tactics, fought against the enemy out of nowhere, dismantled the key points of communication, attacked the Japanese Kou strongholds, dealt a severe blow to the Japanese Kou army, and eradicated the traitors of the puppet army, so that for a time the traitors and the Japanese Kou on the Taihang Mountains were frightened.
Victory after victory shocked the reputation of the "Qin Lai Detachment" among the taihang Mountain masses, so the size of the team also continued to expand, and by 1939 there were more than 5,000 people and more than 1,000 guns.
In 1940, the situation in the Taihang Mountains was very good, and the originally established Jinji-Hebei Yu Military Region was changed to the Taihang Military Region. Qin Jiwei served as the deputy brigade commander of the newly organized 11th Brigade, and led his troops to participate in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments. In the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, Qin Jiwei led the soldiers, militiamen, and the masses of the people to successively capture a number of strongholds, blew up many railway bridges and highway bridges, destroyed several trains, and successfully completed the tasks assigned by the superiors.
After this battle, the Japanese army stepped up its "sweeping" of the anti-Japanese base area on the Taihang Mountains, strengthened the economic blockade, and attempted to trap the guerrillas on the Taihang Mountains. At this time, Qin Jiwei led the soldiers and the local people to respond to Comrade Mao Zedong's call to "do it yourself, have enough food and clothing", went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and went down to the ground to grow grain, which opened up a world in the "no man's land" created by the Japanese army.

Qin Jiwei organized guerrillas and militia masses to carry out various forms of struggle against "encirclement and suppression" and "blockade," destroyed the Japanese army's railways and highways, demolished the blockade walls and blockade ditches, and conquered the Japanese army's garrison bunkers, successfully breaking the Japanese army's "cage policy." Qin Jiwei fought on the Taihang Mountains for nearly a decade, established a wide range of base areas behind enemy lines, and made indelible contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance.
During the Liberation War, Qin Jiwei was under the direct command of Liu Bocheng, cooperated with large troops to advance thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains, and successively participated in many major battles such as Huaihai, Crossing the River, Liangguang, and Liberating the Great Southwest, and made outstanding military achievements.
Influenced by Liu Bocheng, he learned a lot of command techniques and combat experience on the battlefield and benefited a lot. At the same time, he still has not changed his personality and has been criticized by Liu Bocheng a lot. Even so, he was trained to be convincing and unforgettable. There was a small incident in which Qin Jiwei shot a mule and was criticized by Liu Bocheng, which is still talked about by the world.
On that day, Qin Jiwei was about to go to the bridge riding a mule, and somehow, the obedient and docile mule in his usual days did not dare to go on the bridge. Qin Jiwei, who was in his early thirties, still had some stunned habits, because the mule refused to go to the bridge and was very angry, so he asked the groom to help pull in the front and catch up in the back.
As a result, the mule still did not obey, somehow did not want to cross the bridge, and the forced pull could not push forward half a step. Qin Jiwei was angry, pulled out his pistol and fired a shot into the air, and the mule was frightened and jumped forward a big step. Qin Jiwei looked at the funny appearance of the mule and felt very funny, and immediately rode on the mule and kept shooting at the sky.
This matter reached Liu Bocheng's ears on the same day, and when Liu Bocheng heard this, he was displeased, and immediately sent someone to call Qin Jiwei over and reprimanded: "Qin Jiwei, you, when will you change the stink of your guerrilla habits!" They are all in their thirties as commanders, and they are still like children! Is it fun to go against an animal? ”
Liu Bocheng looked at Qin Jiwei, who did not say a word, and his anger dropped a little, but then he added: "Shoot to scare the mule, what kind of system do you let the soldiers under your hands think of you?" ”
After Listening to Liu Bocheng's training, Qin Jiwei quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying: "I just thought it was funny, I didn't think about it so much." Now I also know that I am wrong, I will not do this in the future, I must pay attention to my own image! Liu Bocheng saw that Qin Jiwei was sincere in admitting his mistake, nodded, and smiled happily.

On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was founded. In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Peng Dehuai was appointed commander of the Volunteer Army, led the first batch of volunteer troops to Korea, fought together with the Korean people, won several battles, and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the United Nations Army. When Qin Jiwei heard the good news coming, he was greatly encouraged and asked his superiors three times to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In 1951, Qin Jiwei led the 15th Army to cross the Yalu River with great vigor and vigor, reached the Korean battlefield, and fought a famous battle- the Battle of Shangganling. Before reaching the Shangganling Combat Zone, the US military relied on its air superiority to bomb the volunteer marching military area repeatedly. Qin Jiwei did not shrink back from this, but created the tactical idea of "infantry hitting aircraft", specifically to deal with US aircraft.
Qin Jiwei encouraged the soldiers: "Don't be afraid when the planes come, wait for the opportunity, wait for them to fly low and drop the bombs, and then concentrate on firing." In order to shoot down the US planes, the fighters held a plane competition and issued a clarion call to "strive to fight the plane and make glorious contributions."
The planes flew low, and the volunteer soldiers occupied the high ground, concentrated their fire to quickly fire, and sometimes they could take down enemy aircraft from above. Since then, the US military aircraft have no longer dared to fly low in this area, but if they fly high, the accuracy of the bomb drop will be poor. Qin Jiwei led the volunteer army to march in the valley, relying on the hidden advantage of the snow in the sky, skillfully dodging, ensuring that the troops reached the designated combat area.
On October 14, 1952, the Battle of Shangganling began. This battle was a crucial battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and it attracted the attention of people all over the world. From the 14th to the 20th, under the command of Qin Jiwei, the soldiers of the 15th Army held Shangganling for seven days and seven nights, and with strong will and calm wisdom, won the victory in the Battle of Shangganling, and finally defeated the United Nations Army under the hands of the Chinese Volunteer Army.
The victory in the Battle of Shangganling made Qin Jiwei famous in one fell swoop and was personally received by Chairman Mao.
Qin Jiwei had been fighting with Chairman Mao for decades, and he had never seen Chairman Mao before, and he was very excited about this meeting. For this reason, he also went to the clothing store, bought a pair of leather shoes, and put them on to see Chairman Mao. When Chairman Mao saw Qin Jiwei, he warmly shook his hands and invited him to sit down beside him and speak.
In the course of the conversation, Chairman Mao inquired about Qin Jiwei's work as commander in the Taihang Mountains, and greeted the situation of the volunteer army with concern, from the personal feelings of the cadres of the volunteer army to the food, clothing, shelter and travel. Finally, Chairman Mao said: "It is very hard for the volunteer army to fight in Korea! ”
Qin Jiwei replied: "Suffering is a little bitter, but fortunately, the soldiers are in high emotions, optimistic and positive in fighting, brave and fearless. Speaking of which, he also made a joke with the chairman. He said: "The soldiers all said that Chairman Mao was very concerned about us and specifically called Vice Chairman Gao Gang to let us eat something good. As a result, Vice Chairman Gao Gang misheard and told us to eat fried noodles, so the volunteer army ate fried noodles every day. After listening, Chairman Mao asked in surprise, "Didn't I say that?" ”
Qin Jiwei smiled at this time and said, "This is a joke spoken by the soldiers and Vice Chairman Gao Gang, which is a joke." Chairman Mao burst out laughing and said, ".
Everyone is still reluctant to eat fried noodles, but the country is poor, and they can't come up with anything good to give to the soldiers, and they have been wronged.
”

In 1997, Qin Jiwei died of illness. With the passage of time, this vice-state-level cadre has been dead for many years, but his spiritual quality has not passed away and will always exist in the hearts of future generations, and his children and descendants will also inherit their father's legacy, serve the motherland, and serve the people.
