Xiong Houfa's personal experience.
Xiong Houfa was born in a poor peasant family. /kloc-joined the peasant red guards in 0/929, joined the local red army in 0/930, and was incorporated into the luoshan county Independent Regiment. In the same year, he joined the Communist Youth League. 193 1 spring, joined China * * * and was incorporated into the advance team of luoshan county Independent Camp as platoon leader. Later, at the age of 18, he served as the company commander of the 39th regiment of the Red Fourth Army 13 Division, the battalion commander of the 36th regiment of the Red Fourth Army 12 Division, the head of the 263rd regiment of the 88th Division of the Red 30th Army at the age of 19, and the deputy commander of the 88th Division at the age of 20. At the age of 22, he served as the deputy commander of the 30 th Army of Gongsi Army and the division commander of the 88 th Division. 1932 and 10, the Red Fourth Front Army marched westward. With the troops crossing the Qinling Mountains, Guanzhong, Hanshui and Bashan, they arrived in Sichuan smoothly, participated in the liberation of Tongjiang City and Bazhong City, and made contributions to the establishment of the Sichuan-Shaanxi revolutionary base area. On September 1934, the "siege" of the anti-Sixth Route entered the final stage. Xu Xiangqian, commander-in-chief of the Red Fourth Front Army, ordered the 30 th Army to "seize Huangmuguan with the main force, cut off the retreat of enemy Sun Zhen's troops to Cangxi, and annihilate all enemies." This task was given to Xiong Houfa, a 20-year-old teacher. On September 1 1, Xiong Houfa led the 88th Division to Huang Mu Cliff, occupied favorable terrain and repelled the enemy's impact many times. Later, when all the bullets were gone, the soldiers first threw stones at the enemy and then fought with him. In the hasty killing, Xiong Houfa's clothes were torn to pieces, his combat knife was bent, and his body was covered with blood. After a bloody battle one day and one night, Sun's two brigades were completely annihilated, killing more than 4,000 enemy officers and soldiers and seizing a batch of guns and ammunition. After the battle, the 263rd and 265th regiments of the 88th Division were awarded "Iron Corps" and "Night Tiger" by their superiors respectively. 1In March, 935, the Red Fourth Front Army decided to cross Jialing River into Sichuan and Gansu, and this task fell on Xiong Houfa's shoulders. On March 28, he led 263 regiments, took wooden boats and bamboo rafts, and sped away to the enemy shore. As we approached the shore, the enemy found that our troops landed with heavy artillery. The advance team quickly inserted into the enemy line, annihilated the defending enemy 1 battalion and controlled the commanding heights. After completing the task of crossing the river, he led the 88th Division to the northeast and cooperated with the 31st Army to attack Jianmenguan. At dawn on April 2, he led the 88th Division into Jianmenguan. The battle started at noon, with the 3 1 Army in the east and the 88th Division in the west, attacking the enemy from both sides. After fierce competition, our army first captured the enemy positions on both sides of the pass and the main peak at the northern end of the pass. Then they went deep behind enemy lines and fought fiercely for a long time. All three regiments on the defensive were wiped out and occupied the so-called "difficult-to-fly" sword gate of the enemy. At the end of April, the Red Fourth Front Army began the Long March. On June 30th, 1936, the Red Fourth Army and the Red Second Army joined forces in Rongbacha, west of Ganzi. Xiong Houfa firmly supported Zhu De and Ren Bei to join the Central Red Army. In June 5438+10, the 88th Division was ordered to cross the Yellow River to the west. On the night of October 25th, 65438/KLOC-0, Xiong Houfa sent a small army to knock on wooden cabinets at Lujiazui Ferry, making a sound similar to ship repair, and then pushed the scarecrow prepared in advance into the Yellow River. The straw boat drifted into the river. At night, the enemy mistakenly thought that the Red Army was rushing to cross the river, and the enemy on the other side hurriedly chased the stragglers and made a mess. Xiong Houfa led the 263rd regiment to bravely cross the Yellow River in lightning speed, and all the enemy camps stationed at the ferry were scattered. On June165438+1October1day, the Red Thirty Army, the Nine Army and the Five Army, which crossed the Yellow River, formed a marked army, with a total of more than 25,000 people, and marched in the direction of Liangzhou, Ganzhou and Suzhou. When you go to Yongchang, Ma Bufang will go crazy. 1937 65438+1October 23rd, all the marked troops gathered in Nijiayingzi to hold on. Ma Bufang mobilized more than 70,000 cavalry and vigilantes to storm Nijiayingzi in turn. After seven days and nights of bloody fighting, the Red Army ran out of ammunition and suffered heavy casualties. On March 5, he led the 88th Division to break through with all the marked troops, and went to Sanliugou, five miles away, and was besieged by the enemy again. He was seriously injured in the fierce battle. On March 14, the troops arrived in Qilian Mountain, seriously injured and difficult to walk. He insisted on staying with some comrades in Qilian Mountain for guerrilla warfare. On March 22, the enemy came to search the mountain. He led more than 100 soldiers to fight to the death with the enemy. The leg was seriously injured in the battle, and finally only five or six people were left, surrounded by the enemy. The enemy brigade commander Ma forced him to surrender and was severely reprimanded by him. The enemy became angry from embarrassment, picked up a machine gun and fired wildly at Xiong Houfa and other comrades. He and the soldiers shouted "Long live * * *!" Heroic sacrifice.
