He is a Shaolin miscellaneous soldier, flying cornices to fight invincible hands in the army, fighting a war with six relatives do not recognize, even dare to join the death squad, eleven times as the captain of the death squad, even if wounded, he never yields, he is the founding general Xu Shiyou, this general who dares to fight with the chairman, what is the origin? What kind of grandeur has he experienced in his life? Pay attention to the curator to surprise you!
Xu Shiyou
The daredevil captain took the lead
One day in May 1930, Xu Shiyou received an order to take the death squad to attack Dashanzhai, a bandit group that was a disaster in the Hubei region, which caused great trouble to the local people.
Xu Shiyou's task is to take the big cottage, after the battle began, Xu Shiyou found that the enemy was very arrogant, because the other side was familiar with the terrain, and had been entrenched here for many years, there were relatively strong fortifications, the other side would shoot from the dark gun eyes to take advantage of the high ground, and would throw stones and logs downwards, but at that time, our army did not have cannons, so it paid a great price in the face of the enemy's huge advantage.
Xu Shiyou, as the main person in charge of the unit, rushed to the position directly with his hat, picked up the table, covered the table with several quilts, simply made an earthen shield, and then picked up his big knife and climbed the ladder to climb the village. Because he had learned martial arts since he was a child, Xu Shiyou could easily go up the ladder to the clouds, and the people on the city wall had already been killed by Xu Shiyou before they could react.
In battle
The city tower suddenly became a panic, and then our army troops successfully rushed into the cottage, was beaten to the top of the cottage, so it was subdued by our army troops, there was a thrilling thing at that time, after the main force rushed into the cottage, Xu Shiyou was ready to pursue the enemy leader, did not expect to turn back to the kung fu, he was injured by a clay gun in the dark mouth, and the injured part is the most dangerous head, but fortunately, the range of this gun is not far, shoddy and finally shot at Xu Shiyou's head, is a few iron pieces, It also did not penetrate the skull, but it was hit on the scalp, and at first Xu Shiyou did not pay attention and directly pulled out the iron piece, but because of the excessive blood loss, he fainted on the battlefield.
The warriors who rescued him at that time thought that he had died on the battlefield, because the crying was too loud to wake up the unconscious Xu Shiyou. Because of the heroic battle of General Xu Shiyou. The battle was a major victory.
And this is only the most insignificant thing in his outstanding battle achievements, in the Jiaodong Campaign carried out during Xu Shiyou's tenure as commander-in-chief of the Jiaodong Military Region, it can really be described as killing four sides, when the Japanese army acted arbitrarily in the Jiaodong area, including the Kuomintang troops who aided and abetted abuse.
At that time, the total strength of our army in Jiaodong was less than 10,000 people, but the strength of the Japanese puppet army was more than 50,000 people, and the enemy was strong and we were weak, and it was under such circumstances that Xu Shiyou was able to command the army and lead the local masses to carry out guerrilla warfare together, and also won the battle.
The People's Liberation Army fights
If you think this is his limit, it is a big mistake, Xu Shiyou's turbulent life is more than this miracle.
Capture Yue Weijun alive
In the spring of 1931, Xu Shiyou was still a battalion commander, but his name was already well-known throughout the army, and at that time the revolutionary activities of our army were in full swing, so this also made the Kuomintang government very anxious, because the revolutionary work of our army was very unfavorable to the development of the enemy, so in order to curb the development of our army, the Kuomintang sent troops from all sides to encircle and suppress the revolutionary army, of which Yue Weijun's army bore the brunt of it.
Generals of our army
Because he was anxious to ask for merit from old Chiang Kai-shek, Yue Weijun led his troops and set out from Xiaogan, Hubei Province, because he was in a hurry to win victory, Yue Weijun could not wait for any reinforcements, so he marched alone towards our army station. The enemy had a total of one division, all of which were stationed in the town of Shuangqiao, gathered in piles, and had relatively few troops, and in the absence of reinforcements, this unit was out of a very dangerous situation, and in view of this situation, the Red Army command decided to immediately counterattack the Kuomintang troops.
Xu Shiyou's troops received this news, his battalion was responsible for the main offensive task, and the above ordered that the enemy's division must be annihilated at all costs, and the thief was captured first, and the burden fell on the tiger general in an instant.
After determining the battle plan, Xu Shiyou and his troops quickly rushed to the town of Shuangqiao, in order to annihilate the Kuomintang army, our army sent a total of 5 regiments of troops, and at this time, the three regiments of our army have completed the encirclement operation, seeing that the enemy army has been at a disadvantage, did not expect that suddenly three enemy aircraft appeared, the powerful air force caused great damage to our army, the enemy's indiscriminate bombardment still did not stop the pace of our army, in an emergency, the strength of the other two regiments of our army directly replenished, At this time, Xu Shiyou had come to the rear of the enemy army, that is, Tuqiaogou, Xu Shiyou led the troops, launched an attack on the enemy's position, and then successfully took the last barrier of the enemy army, that is, Liu Clan Ancestral Hall, this place is the enemy's last protection, if lost, the enemy's division headquarters will be annihilated immediately, so in order to defend the last barrier, the enemy troops quickly organized three regiments of troops to carry out a counter-charge to the Liu Clan Ancestral Position, because the fortifications are very strong, so even if the enemy attacks fiercely, Still failed to win.
defense
It was not easy to achieve victory, I did not expect that the enemy still did not relax on the position, the aircraft cannons took turns to fight, even if the copper wall and iron wall will always be broken one day, can Xu Shiyou's troops really hold out?
Battle of Twin Bridges
However, at the same time, our army suffered a lot of casualties, the enemy took advantage of the superiority of firepower, constantly threw explosives at our army's positions, and as the battle deepened, the enemy began to slowly increase its strength, initially only attacking as a battalion unit, and then directly starting to attack as a regiment, seeing that the number of casualties of our army was constantly increasing, Xu Shiyou immediately made a decision and immediately withdrew from the Liu Family Ancestral Position.
Battle scene
But can this position be abandoned? Of course not, Xu Shiyou decided to set up a death squad!
So he immediately reorganized the severely reduced group directly, and finally combined this unit into a death squad, but he did not expect that the order had just been issued, all the soldiers actively signed up, Xu Shiyou left the wounded soldiers in the rear, and the slightly wounded soldiers formed a death squad.
At the time of the last charge, the soldiers of our army, still facing the fierce fire attack of the enemy, the enemy occupies the advantage of terrain and terrain, and uses machine guns at high places to strafe the soldiers of our army, and what is even more anxious is that the enemy also has fierce air support, and the three planes of the other side are constantly hovering on the positions where the two armies are engaged, and throwing a large number of bombs on our army, these bullets and shells fall on the positions of our army, causing great damage to the soldiers, in order to approach the enemy, the soldiers of our army can only take advantage of the gap in the enemy's strafing. Dodging the attack in the crater until he was creeping forward, about 100 meters away from the enemy, Xu Shiyou suddenly jumped up from the crater and shouted to fight with the enemy bayonet.
charge
In the chaotic battlefield, Xu Shiyou brandished his own large knife, has killed the enemy piece of armor left, under his leadership, the morale of the soldiers is high, the enemy army finally overwhelmed, escaped from the Liu Clan Ancestral Hall position, this time Xu Shiyou led the death squad, finally once again won the position dominance.
But unfortunately, the enemy leader Yue Weijun escaped punishment, Xu Shiyou continued to track with the death squad, did not expect that on the way they were tracking, Xu Shiyou suddenly stopped on his toes, did not expect to reach out and touch his hands full of blood, at this time he found that his trousers had been soaked with blood, it turned out that in the battle just now, Xu Shiyou's thighs were hit by enemy bullets, but he was like no one, patted his thighs, felt that he did not break the bones, directly tore his pants to cut out the bullets, Finally, a simple bandage is performed, and then the tracking continues with the troops.
Pursuit
Fortunately, after tracking for several miles, they finally found the enemy's division commander Yue Weijun in the threshing ground of a nearby village, and the Battle of Shuangqiao Town was a major success.
Facing the enemy on the battlefield without fear, and even joining the death squad to resist the enemy, it is conceivable that Xu Shiyou is an extremely arrogant person, but he is not a brave and unscrupulous person, sleek, and can also tell a big lie with Su Yu.
Crisis Meng Lianggu
In the spring of 1947, the Kuomintang troops changed their offensive tactics, stopped the all-out offensive against the revolutionary theater, and instead began to look for key troops to attack, of which the attack in the Shandong region became the main task of the Kuomintang offensive, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang troops in Shandong, Chiang Kai-shek even threw his own ace troops into the Shandong battlefield, the number far exceeded the arrangement of a division, and replaced the division commander with Zhang Lingfu, who was resolute and fierce, and was a rare and fierce general in the Nationalist army.
Zhang Lingfu
At that time, the troops in the Shandong region were the East China Field Army, and the enemy's strength was strong and strong, so our army decided to take the initiative to retreat and let the enemy penetrate deep into the Shandong Theater.
As the commander of the Kuomintang army, Zhang Lingfu was very confident in his combat effectiveness, and because he wanted to ask for credit, the whole way of marching was very aggressive, which also led to the disconnect between his troops and the main force.
At that time, the Red Army generals Su Yu and Chen Yi decided to first eliminate Zhang Lingfu's living forces, and Xu Shiyou's task was to block the enemy's troops and complete the encirclement and suppression with the brother troops.
Our army units
After the battle began, Zhang Lingfu was already aware of his danger, so he began to move in the direction of Meng Lianggu, and Xu Shiyou began to lead his troops in pursuit, and successfully cut off the enemy's rear road.
At this time, Zhang Lingfu's troops were basically besieged by our army, and the overall situation was very critical, because Zhang Lingfu was arrogant and arrogant, and the support troops did not come in time, and the blocking troops of our army were very strong, which also caused great trouble to Zhang Lingfu.
But even in this case, the battle of our army was not as smooth as imagined, Zhang Lingfu's troops were very tenacious in combat, and they were even more heroic when they fought, especially in the Nationalist army in menglianggu's position, and Xu Shiyou's troops were constantly entangled.
The enemy continued to make surprise attacks, and the fierce offensive caused the casualties of our army to rise sharply, and after several battles, the two sides had launched a white-knife battle, and the number of enemy casualties was also rising, so the two sides fell into a scorching confrontation.
Scorched confrontation
At this time, the most nervous thing was the commander-in-chief of the campaign, General Chen Yi, because Zhang Lingfu's army was an elite unit in the entire Kuomintang, so Chiang Kai-shek also ordered all the nearby troops to rescue Zhang Lingfu's troops at all costs, according to the current situation, if the enemy troops could no longer be taken down, the units that blocked the attack would soon run out of food, and if the enemy army used the advantages of firepower and grain and grass at this time to encircle our army, then the situation would change dramatically, and perhaps the entire East China Field Army would be able to. They will all become the fish on the other side's chopping board, and then they will be bullied by the knife, so the most important thing in the whole battle is Xu Shiyou's troops.
The enemy's support is behind, the troops in the front have already suffered heavy casualties, the encirclement is about to be broken, if not, they will immediately withdraw from the battlefield, but those fighters will be sacrificed in vain, but if they do not retreat, the consequences of failure are unimaginable, so what will Xu Shiyou do in this dilemma?
Big lies win the war
General Chen Yi called Xu Shiyou and asked him if his troops could support him, and Xu Shiyou's answer was that he still had the strength of a division, and upon hearing Xu Shiyou's answer, General Chen Yi was very excited and immediately made up his mind that he must take down the Meng Lianggu War at all costs, and also told Xu Shiyou that as long as Meng Lianggu was defeated, he agreed to whatever conditions he proposed.
But is it really going like this? Of course not, because Xu Shiyou did not have so many troops in his hands, all his troops had long been replenished, and now they were fighting the enemy on the battlefield, but he also told a big lie, and he was just to reassure the commander, Xu Shiyou immediately ordered the troops, as long as they were living soldiers, whether they were clerks or brothers, they all had to go to the front-line battlefield, and the reserves should not be left behind, and the troops that belonged to him were all gasping for breath.
Battle scene
With Xu Shiyou's order, all the commanders and fighters rushed to the front line, the cadres took the lead, the morale of the soldiers was even higher, the entire unit was no longer organized, everyone was the People's Liberation Army, under the fierce attack of the enemy, these fighters rushed to the enemy's positions.
The entire position was filled with the sound of enemy bombs and the shouts of our soldiers, and driven by this momentum, our troops successively attacked the Menglianggu position, after which the soldiers successfully launched an offensive against the main peak, especially Xu Shiyou's troops, in this battle, they went forward indomitably, posing a great threat to the enemy, directly captured the enemy's six howitzers, and then Xu Shiyou ordered the troops to use the captured howitzers to launch an offensive against the enemy. It is just a pity that our army has only infantry and no artillery, and is not familiar with the enemy's equipment; under such circumstances, the enemy's prisoners directly took up their hands and helped our army to open fire; with the earth-shaking sound of artillery, the MengLianggu position was completely taken down by our army, Xu Shiyou's troops took the lead in rushing to the enemy position, the opposing general Zhang Lingfu was also shot and killed indiscriminately, and Zhang Lingfu's troops, who hung the name of the Kuomintang ace unit, were completely destroyed.
After the battle was over, General Chen Yi specially congratulated Xu Shiyou and praised him for how the strength of a division could be guaranteed under such an urgent situation, and Xu Shiyou came out at this time, telling Chen Yi that he did not actually have so many troops, and that what he could win was the bravery of the soldiers, because this battle, the combat effectiveness of the entire East China Field Army, once again reached a new peak.
Lying about military information and achieving major victories, once joining the death squad eleven times, even if he was injured, he could pull a bullet with his bare hands, and it was such a tiger general who was actually related to the Shaolin Temple. How did Xu Shiyou join the PLA troops?
Eighteen martial arts of Shaolin children
When Xu Shiyou was born, it was the beginning of the twentieth century, when China was still in the midst of storms and rains, the people's lives were turbulent, and the old society let the people live in the depths of the waters.
Originally born at the wrong time, coupled with his family is still exceptionally poor, so Xu Shiyou's life from childhood to adulthood is the word desolate, people are experienced by him over and over again, his relatives and friends are entangled and bullied by evil forces, but he does not have any ability to help, that is, he made up his mind, must become a strong man.
Shaolin
At that time, Xu Shiyou's job was to do odd jobs for others, from the age of seven, he did child labor in different people's homes, his first job, the employer was a boxer, under the influence of the ear, Xu Shiyou began to be interested in swords, guns and swords, when he was a little older, Xu Shiyou went to the Shaolin Temple and officially began to learn Shaolin Kung Fu.
At first, Xu Shiyou's path to study was not smooth, because he was a newcomer, and his temper was a bit stubborn, and the same brothers and brothers did not accept this little master, but fortunately, although Xu Shiyou was stubborn, but he was willing to learn from hardships and hard work, so the master attached great importance to him and handed over all the learning in his life to him, and in the practice year after year, Xu Shiyou finally ate all the moves thoroughly.
After that, he encountered warlord melee, but at that time, Xu Shiyou did not have the idea of joining the army, he just wanted to protect the Shaolin Temple, because many bandits came to the Shaolin Temple to loot the people's wealth, in order not to be harassed, Xu Shiyou took a large knife, sat at the door of the Shaolin Temple, and drove away all the bandits who came to loot.
brigand
After eight years in the Shaolin Temple, Xu Shiyou returned to his hometown, he clearly realized that the old government was not reliable, so in order to help more poor people, Xu Shiyou himself formed a team, no guns and ammunition, then use the sword and gun sword, just on the way to punish evil and promote good, he found that the Red Army team is really for the country and the people, so he took his own squad, directly joined the People's Liberation Army, and then became a soldier.
Until 1985, General Xu Shiyou died of a serious illness, and the heroic tiger general who knew eighteen martial arts completely left us.
General Xu Shiyou, who had been fighting all his life, was named a major general at the awarding ceremony, and Xu Shiyou, who was very dissatisfied with this result, also found the chairman to request a new ruling, but after hearing the ranks of General Su Yu and General Xiao Ke, Xu Shiyou was silent.
and the Chair
However, in the whole Chinese war, Xu Shiyou did play a great role, it is precisely because of these generals who charged into the battlefield, today's China can be peaceful, although the heroes have passed away, but their spirit, but forever spread on the land of China, and as a new youth in the new era, we should be a person who is useful to the country and the people, so that the efforts of the ancestors, in another form, will always remain in the world.
