Jiangxi Taihe because of the border with Jinggangshan, in the period of the agrarian revolutionary war, here is an important part of the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area, due to the organization and launch of the Red Army, here was born a lot of peasant armed troops, in the Red Army anti-"encirclement and suppression" period in Taihe Baiyun Mountain Battle, the old Camp Pan Battle, Taihe people left a lot of heroic deeds to sing and cry, but also out of many old Red Army soldiers, one of them after the founding of the Founding of the People's Republic of China Guo Yingchun is an outstanding one.
Guo Yingchun, born in 1915 (born on the eighth day of the first lunar month of the first month of the second year) was born into a poor peasant family, he lost his father at the age of 10, forced to make a living, and was sent by his family to be apprenticed to the barber shop the following year, just when he was 13 years old, the revolutionary flame of Jinggangshan burned to his hometown of Taihe, he resolutely threw himself into the revolution, first joined the local Young Pioneers, guerrilla brigades, during his participation in the local Red Army guerrillas, his hometown Ofi once fought a very famous battle twice.
The first was the second anti-"encirclement and suppression" battle of Baiyun Mountain by the Red Army, which was a large mountain in the south of Ganzhongnan, Jiangxi Province, located in the east of Taihe County, and extended to the territory of Ji'an and Xingguo Counties, with a radius of tens of kilometers. This mountain is tall and wide, the peaks overlap, the highest peak is 934 meters, the ancient trees in the mountain are towering, the mountain road is winding, and there are many small valley basins, which is a good place for guerrilla warfare, sniper warfare and sports warfare.
At that time, the strength of the enemy's two divisions attacked along guanyin cliffs and nine inch ridges toward Baiyun Mountain, and the Red Fourth Army and the Red Twelfth Army laid out a frontal battlefield here; at the same time, Guo Yingchun's local unit, the Taihe Independent Regiment, also rushed to Tongmukeng to concentrate, and after several hours of fierce fighting, completely annihilated the enemy's 28th Division in the area of Zhongdong and Bozuo, killing and wounding more than 4,000 deputy division commanders, staff officers, party commissioners, secretaries, brigade commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and enemy soldiers, capturing more than 4,000 enemy troops, capturing 7 Units of Taiwan Electricity and more than 3,000 pieces of guns. The Taihe Independent Regiment was fully armed, and there were also water machine guns, which developed and expanded the team. In this battle, the senior leaders of the Red Army wrote the upper inscription of "Fisherman's Pride and Anti-Second Great 'Encirclement and Suppression'": "The clouds at the head of Baiyun Mountain are about to stand, the cry under Baiyun Mountain is urgent, and the dead wood and decay are working hard together." Gunfired, the flying general threw himself into the air. "It highly praised the Great Contribution of the Taihe people to the victory of the battle.
The enemy was not content with his own defeat, and immediately afterwards, the third anti-"encirclement and suppression" of the enemy attacked again, and our heroic Red Army returned to the division for thousands of miles and deployed in Taihe Laoyingpan to annihilate the retreating enemy troops, and the regular Red Army attacked quickly in two ways, cutting off the contact between the enemy's vanguard independent brigade and its follow-up troops, cutting off its retreat route, and with the cooperation of the Taihe Independent Regiment, launched an attack on the retreating enemy from three sides, completely annihilated one brigade of the enemy, obtained a large number of military supplies, and the Red Army won a victory and boosted its morale. The Taihe people were even more jubilant in welcoming the victory of the Red Army, mobilizing the masses, beating up local tycoons and dividing up the land, raising grain and raising funds for the Red Army, enthusiastically participating in the Red Army, and expanding the ranks of the Red Army, thus making great contributions.
Through the second battle in Guo Yingchun's hometown, his combat ability has been greatly tempered, at this time, at the age of 17, he officially joined the regular Red Army unit, because of his bravery in combat and outstanding ability, he was quickly promoted to squad leader, platoon leader and company commander in the Red Army. Because of his good birth, his roots were Miao Hong, and he was selected by his superiors as a guard of Vice Chairman Zhou, and during the Long March of the Red Army, Guo Yingchun was transferred to the advance reconnaissance detachment of the Central Red Army as a detachment leader.
When we were in elementary school, we read a text called "Vice Chairman Zhou's Stretcher", which described the story of Guo Yingchun leading the detachment in an encounter with the enemy during the Long March, he was unfortunately seriously injured, and later it was Vice Chairman Zhou who used his own stretcher to carry him to Zunyi and save him:
At that time, Guo Yingchun walked with his troops at the forefront of the marching column, responsible for reconnoitring the direction of the Red Army's advance, that is, to open the way for the large troops, just at this time, they were intercepted by the enemy, and although there were only two hundred people in the unit, they were all trained in battle for a long time. When he was taking advantage of the victory to pursue, his left leg was seriously injured, he could not run and lost contact with the large troops, he had to walk slowly along the road alone, thinking disappointedly: This time he can no longer go with the Red Army troops, go north to resist Japan, make a revolution, and now he has two legs, but his legs are injured, how can he go with the troops? Let the shelter team give some money to "stick to the wall" to the hometown? No! Since joining the revolution at the age of fifteen, I have always regarded the Party as my most loving mother and the army as the warmest home, and it is very painful to leave her! I am just afraid, and I want to follow the troops!
Just when he felt disappointed, a gray-black mule came from the follow-up team, it was vice chairman Zhou, whom he was familiar with, and he came over and asked kindly, "Little devil, what are you doing here?" "When he found out that he had a leg injury, he immediately ordered the guard Guan Chaodong to put him on a stretcher, and when he arrived at the troop station to bandage him, he finally had to teach.
After the victorious arrival of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi after the Long March, Guo Yingchun's unit was reorganized into the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and he successively served as a company instructor, battalion commander, combat unit chief, regiment chief of staff, deputy regimental commander, and regimental commander. During the Liberation War, Guo Yingchun's troops were ordered to form the 4th Column, and he served as the commander of the Fifth Garrison Regiment, which was subordinate to the Northwest Field Army. At this time, during the Battle of Xifu, he had an accident.
In April 1947, our Northwest Field Army launched a huge "Xifu Campaign", Guo Yingchun led his headquarters to participate in the battle, bravely killed the enemy, blood stained the clothes, he led the regiment to block the enemy in the process, due to the slow transfer of the command organ, at the scheduled time Guo Yingchun led the regiment to withdraw, so that the command organ was almost surrounded by the enemy, fortunately, the command organ troops alternately covered, along the southeast detour to the 2nd column, and finally saved the whole army.
At the post-war summary meeting of the Battle of Xifu, the commander angrily reprimanded the Third Police Brigade and its fifth police regiment for disobeying military orders and proposing to "cut off horses", and finally Huang Luobin, commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Police, and Guo Yingchun, the commander of the 5th Police Regiment, were dismissed, and Guo Yingchun was demoted from regimental commander to soldier. Later, although it turned out that this matter was unjustly accused, and some studies showed that Guo Yingchun had sent a telegram to his superiors before the transfer, he never appealed to the organization for many years in order to take into account the overall situation and respect the commander, never defended or prevaricated, and undertook this for a lifetime with an open mind.
Of course, it is this virtue of his that has also made him a man who never gives up, a person who has won wide respect. Guo Yingchun was reused and successively served as deputy chief of staff, chief of staff, and deputy division commander of the division. Division commander, commander of the tank division, chief of staff and deputy commander of the armored corps of the Beijing Military Region. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of colonel, and was awarded the Order of August 1 of the Third Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom of the Second Class, and the Liberation Medal of the Second Class. Guo Yingchun enjoyed the treatment of a regular regimental officer and died in Beijing on May 26, 1987.
Major General Guo Zhenfeng
Later, Guo Yingchun's son Guo Zhenfeng served as the vice president of the Academy of Armored Forces Engineering, and was promoted to the rank of major general in 2001.
