Qin Jiwei said: "Chairman, on behalf of all officers and men of the 15 Army, I report to the Chairman." "Yes, yes, please sit down and talk." Chairman Mao said, sitting on the sofa, and motioned Qin Jiwei to sit down.
Chairman Mao: "It is a miracle to play well in Shangganling. To be clear, it proves that the bones of Chinese people's Volunteer Army are harder than the steel of the United States of America. This miracle is created by you. " Chairman Mao said, while picking up the cigarette on the tea table.
Qin Jiwei said modestly: "This is all well commanded by the chairman and the Central Military Commission, and the soldiers fought tenaciously." Chairman Mao smiled. "You played well. I think I still have to say something. I have nothing good here, please smoke. "
Qin Jiwei reached out to the cigarette case on the tea table. He didn't take the cigarette, but pushed the cigarette case to Chairman Mao. "Chairman, I can't smoke." Actually, Qin Jiwei is a heavy smoker. This time, he told a "lie" in front of Chairman Mao. Many years later, Qin Jiwei recalled:
"I don't think it's appropriate to smoke in front of Chairman Mao. However, lying is a painful experience. At that time, I couldn't solve the problem without smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, but I have said that I won't smoke, and I dare not reverse my case again. I secretly complain! "
Chairman Mao and Qin Jiwei talked for over an hour. When Qin Jiwei left, he stood up and walked to the door. When we parted, Chairman Mao said, "The Korean War is coming to an end, so I will transfer you to work in Yunnan. Yunnan is the gateway to the southwest of China, with an important strategic position, a long border defense line, as well as residual bandits living abroad, and the struggle situation is complicated. You are young and strong. After you take office, you should go on more, get familiar with the terrain, understand your subordinates, build the border defense and guard the city gate. "
Soon, Qin Jiwei was transferred to the Yunnan Military Region as the deputy commander. 1in April, 955, Qin Jiwei was appointed as the deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region because the Yunnan Military Region was renamed the Kunming Military Region. 1955 In September, Qin Jiwei was awarded the rank of founding lieutenant general, and in the same month he was promoted to commander of Kunming Military Region.
Qin Jiwei once had a reputation as a "great general", and Zhou Enlai spoke highly of it: "A writer has no text, and a writer has no text." As the saying goes, if you add wings to a tiger, you will grow old with your son. Qin Jiwei's two sons are also great. Qin Weijiang, the eldest son, and Qin Tian, the second son, are both lieutenant generals.
This article is about Qin Jiwei, the founding lieutenant general. If you want to know the legendary story of Qin Jiwei, you might as well read it carefully, and you will certainly gain something.
Qin Jiwei,1914 165438+1October16, from Luoqinzhuang, Qiliping Town, Huang An County, Hubei Province. Qin Jiwei was naughty, active and unrestrained when he was a child, especially interested in novelty. As the youngest son in the family, his parents gave him more love. At the age of eight, Qin Jiwei went to school.
However, from the age of eight, even the family suffered bad luck, and Qin Jiwei's mother, father, uncle and brother died one after another. Young Qin Jiwei suffered from the cold and warm life and lived a lonely life since he was a child. At that time, the bully in the village exploited the villagers, and Qin Jiwei decided to get back at him. He put a big stone on the bully's door late at night, and the bully opened the door the next morning and was hit by the falling stone.
It can be seen from this incident that Qin Jiwei was deeply sympathetic to the poor when he was young, just as he said to the small and medium-sized partners in the village more than once: "I must let those landlords and bullies go backwards in the future. Who let them bully us all the time?" Huang An County is the most famous general county in China. Marshal Xu Xiangqian once wrote an inscription, "Two hundred generals are from the same town."
According to the data, every three people in the Red Army are from Huang An County, and at least 6.5438+0.4 million children of Huang An County have given their lives for the revolution. Under such circumstances, Qin Jiwei took part in the revolution very early, and took part in the famous jute uprising at the age of 13.
Qin Jiwei was carrying a red tassel gun to take part in the revolution at that time, and he followed the members of the peasant associations in the village to fight. Qin Jiwei later recalled: "This time I took part in the Jute Uprising, which gave me great exercise. The outside world suddenly opened up. Revolution is no longer gossip or imagination. I not only saw it with my own eyes, but also participated in it personally. After returning to Qiliping, my enthusiasm can no longer be cold. "
After attending the Jute Uprising, Qin Jiwei's restless heart could no longer be calm. After the Jute Uprising, Cao, the chairman of the county farmers' government, came to Qiliping to make a mass mobilization speech, and Qin Jiwei was deeply infected. Soon, the Jute Special Committee incorporated the peasant self-defense forces of Huang An and Macheng counties who participated in the riots into the East Army of the Workers and Peasants Revolution in China. Qin Jiwei was too young to join the army directly, so he stayed and joined the Self-Defense Forces.
1929, 15-year-old Qin Jiwei joined the Red Army and came to the Third Regiment of the Red First Division as a soldier. Qin Jiwei fought bravely, and he took the lead in the fierce battle. In just two years, he became the second company commander of the pistol battalion of the Red Fourth Army Headquarters. As a company commander, Qin Jiwei is always at the forefront. He was soon seriously injured and his arm artery ruptured.
Qin Jiwei recalled: "Although my injury was not a vital part, it was fatal, and my artery was interrupted. Thanks to my correspondent, he seems to be very experienced. He tied my arm with a white cloth and completely lost consciousness. When I went to the hospital, I couldn't untie it, and my hand couldn't get in, so I had to cut it with scissors. If it weren't for this bundle, the artery would bleed to death in a few minutes. "
After joining the army, Qin Jiwei participated in the first to fourth counter-campaigns against "encirclement and suppression" in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet areas. Starting from 1933, Qin Jiwei was appointed as a member of Hongjiang County Committee of the Communist Party of China, commander of the military region, and was responsible for organizing local workers and peasants' armed forces. Later, Qin Jiwei later served as the head of the Red Fourth Army Headquarters Guard Corps and the head of the Red 3 1 Army 274 Corps to participate in the struggle to defend the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area.
1936 10 The Party Central Committee issued the "October Operational Program", which clarified the operational tasks of the Red Fourth Front Army: First, it formed a fan-shaped defense against Xining and Lanzhou to block the attack of the South enemy; The second is to quickly complete the shipbuilding task, and the three armed forces crossed the Yellow River and attacked Ningxia. 1 10 year 10 month 10, the marked army was established, with Chen Changhao as the commander-in-chief, Wang Shusheng as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Qin Jiwei as the head of reconnaissance at that time.
1937 65438+1At the beginning of October, the marked army captured Gao Tai and Linze successively, and the troops rested on the spot. At that time, the headquarters and the Fifth Army were stationed in Linze. Ma Jiajun attacked Gao Tai crazily and soon fell. The enemy quickly turned to Linze, outnumbered, and the headquarters was forced to move. So, the supreme leader of the city is the supply department, Zheng, and a cruel breakthrough war began, and Qin Jiwei became the commander-in-chief of the front line of guarding city.
At that time, the strength of the two sides was as follows: five enemy regiments, logistics, machine maintenance, general health department hospital and women's independent regiment led by Zheng, totaling 1200, of which only the guard company of the general supply department was truly fighting. Qin Jiwei, after accepting the order, organized everyone, cadres and soldiers regardless of gender, according to the needs of the fight. Ma Jiajun never dreamed that, in their view, the Red Army stationed in Linze City was a group of "rabble", but they just stormed for a few days and then stopped attacking.
As a miracle created by Linze Yugoslav capital, Qin Jiwei led his troops to defeat more with less, to defeat the stronger with weaker ones, repelled the repeated siege of more than five enemy regiments, annihilated more than 400 enemy troops, and successfully broke through Linze, which became a special case in the process of the Red Army's Western Expedition. After the failure of the marked army, Qin Jiwei narrowly escaped and returned to Yan 'an.
After the full-scale outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Qin Jiwei came to Taigu alone to organize anti-Japanese armed forces. In just one month, Qin Jiwei formed a guerrilla group of more than 300 people and captured Taigu County. Soon, the Eighth Route Army129th Division issued an order to merge Taigu guerrillas and Yuci cotton mill guerrillas to form an "independent detachment", with Qin Jiwei as the commander and Lai as the political commissar.
It is understood that this guerrilla led by Qin Jiwei is the first guerrilla in the Taihang Mountain Anti-Japanese Base. With the efforts of Qin Jiwei and Lai, "Qin Lai Detachment" developed into an anti-Japanese force of more than 5,000 people in less than a year, and once won a great victory in Jinzhong. 1April, 938, Qin Jiwei led his troops to participate in the "mopping up" campaign to smash the ninth road in southeastern Shanxi.
1On August 20th, 945, the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region was established, with four military regions, namely Taihang, Taiyue, southern Hebei and Hebei-Shandong-Henan, and Qin Jiwei as the commander of Taiyue Military Region. Qin Jiwei has a title, "Qin Dadan". Although Qin Jiwei was the commander, he often wore plain clothes during the Anti-Japanese War. He broke into the Japanese turret at night as if to go home. The villagers in the base area said: "Commander Qin went to the Japanese turret like a relative, and the turret exploded."
1In July, 947, the CPC Central Committee decided to upgrade some local armed forces in the Taihang Military Region, and set up the ninth column of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army. The ninth column has the 25th, 26th and 27th brigades, with commander Qin Jiwei, political commissar and deputy commander Huang, chief of staff He, and director of the political department Gu Jingsheng.
Qin Jiwei took the banner on behalf of all the officers and men at the inaugural meeting of the Nine Vertical Movement and addressed all the men and women. Qin Jiwei declaimed that "Chiang Kai-shek wanted to put the war around the liberated areas in order to consume us. Only by fighting out can we reduce the burden on the people in the liberated areas and burn the war on Chiang Kai-shek! "
After crossing the Yellow River in the south, Jiuzong made great achievements. 1948 in may, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China rebuilt the central plains military region, and the ninth column was renamed the ninth column of the central plains field army. In February of the following year, General Jiu was reorganized into the No.1 15 Army of the People's Liberation Army, with Qin Jiwei as its commander and Gu Jingsheng as its political commissar. During the whole War of Liberation, Qin Jiwei led fifteen armies to Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Kangkang, etc.1/province. Qin Jiwei didn't realize it at that time, and soon he led the 15 Army, which became famous all over the world.
On June 1950, 10 and 19, the volunteers officially entered the DPRK to fight, which opened the prelude to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. 195 1 March, 15 army entered the DPRK to participate in the war. At that time, it belonged to the Third Corps of Volunteers. Soon, a fierce battle that attracted worldwide attention started, and this battle also made 15 Army and Qin Jiwei famous in World War I, and 15 Army also won the praise of "Army".
195210 June 14, Van Frith, then commander of the Eighth Army of the US Army, launched a "golden offensive" with Shangganling as the main attack target. After the fighting started, the volunteer positions fell into at least six shells every second, reaching more than 300,000 rounds a day, and the sky fighters never stopped dropping bombs.
During the 43-day fierce battle, the United Nations forces led by the United States put more than 60,000 troops into volunteer positions less than 3.7 square kilometers, dispatched more than 3,000 fighter planes and more than 70 tanks/KLOC-0, and destroyed more than 0.9 million shells/KLOC-0 before and after. Such a crazy amount of bombs has turned Shangganling into a scorched earth. The top of the mountain was directly cut off by 2 meters, and the rock was smashed to form a powder with a thickness of more than 30 centimeters. Lin Biao commented: "Shangganling is a meat grinder!" Clark, commander-in-chief of the "United Nations Army", commented: "This is Verdun on the Korean battlefield!"
During the 43-day bloody battle, Qin Jiwei led 15 troops to fight bloody battles, and many touching stories emerged. In his later years, Qin Jiwei recalled the Battle of Shangganling and said:
"1952 10/4, this is another anxious day in my life. The scale, firepower and tactics of the enemy's sudden attack are unprecedented. In particular, it avoided me, and its tricks somewhat surprised us. But we didn't panic. "
Qin Jiwei also said: "This fierce battle will happen sooner or later, so we should be prepared psychologically. We have repeatedly mobilized all the troops of the whole army to take the initiative to fight whenever the enemy changes, and we will not fight inflexible wars or chaotic wars. Therefore, the troops are ready to deal with emergencies. Sudden fighting can also keep the situation calm and command smooth. In short, we are not afraid. "
At that time, in order to cope with the enemy's powerful firepower, the Volunteer Command equipped the No.1 15 Army with a Katyusha Rocket Battalion. Katyusha rocket launcher, as the most powerful weapon of volunteers, is easily exposed when it is launched, and is usually hidden in caves by volunteers. Every time Qin Jiwei ordered the "Katyusha" rocket battalion to be dispatched, he would fully calculate the target, pull it out and launch it directly, and immediately transfer his position after the battle.
After the Battle of Shangganling started, Qin Jiwei sat in the tunnel command post for seven days and seven nights without a minute's rest. /kloc-when the 0/5 army captured positions 4 and 5 in the 597.9 highland, the enemy was unwilling to fail and organized a counterattack. The two sides fought fiercely for several days and fought for positions for more than forty times.
At the fiercest moment of the battle, Qin Jiwei, whose eyes were bloodshot, grabbed the phone and said to Cui, the commander of the 45th division, "Tell all comrades that the soldiers of the 15 army are bleeding, and no one is allowed to cry. No matter how big the casualties are, we will fight on. Let's do this for the overall situation, and the fifteenth army will fight to the death until it is exhausted. There are many troops like 15 Army in China. Just pull one when you run out, and there is only one in Shangganling. You can't come back to see me if you lose the five mountains! "
Speaking of emotional excitement, Qin Jiwei almost shouted on the phone: "We can't lose ground. Please tell everyone that we will fight to the last man, and I, Qin Jiwei, will go up and hold the position! I am serious! "
165438+ At 8: 00 p.m. on October 28th of that year128, Qin Jiwei issued the "Instructions on the Adjustment of Troop Deployment" in the name of 15 Army: "My 597.9 highland has been consolidated, and all positions in the 537.7 Beishan are under my control except positions 7 and 8. After the Ninth Division of the Puppet Army took over from the Second Division of the Puppet Army, it seems that there is no big offensive attempt, and the battle around Shangganling should end in battle. "
After the Battle of Shangganling, the 15 Army was ordered to take charge of the coastal defense in the Yuanshan area of Korea, and withdrew to China in May 1954.
1961March 14, the Central Military Commission reorganized the 15 Army into the People's Liberation Army Airborne Force 15 Army in consideration of the overall situation of national defense. Qin Jiwei's outstanding performance in Shangganling was once called a first-class hero, and a number of fighting heroes such as Huang Jiguang, Sun Zhanyuan and Qiu emerged in 15 Army. The title of "Chitose Army" is well deserved.
Qin Jiwei was received by Chairman Mao during the Battle of Shangganling. Chairman Mao also said to Zhou Enlai, "Qin Jiwei, commander of the 15th Army, is the commander of Taihang Mountain, and now he is a hero of Shangganling." 1September, 955, New China was awarded the title for the first time, and Qin Jiwei was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General. Later, he served as deputy commander of Yunnan Military Region, deputy commander of Kunming Military Region, commander of Kunming Military Region and secretary of the Secretariat of Yunnan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In a special period, Qin Jiwei was suppressed and sent to Xihu Farm in Changde City, Hunan Province for labor reform. During the transformation of the farm, Qin Jiwei suffered a lot. He was 54 years old when he switched jobs, and his physical condition was not optimistic due to years of military career.
There is a passage in "Memoirs of Qin Jiwei", "The workload of West Lake Farm is very heavy, and it takes 32 loads of excrement a day. Busy farmers engage in double robbing, cut rice and transplant seedlings, work with flashlights in the morning and call it a day at night. No matter how tired and bitter, I will stick to it. "
Qin Jiwei didn't care about his hard work. He was very sad to see the young soldier fall asleep after a day's work. Qin Jiwei is not so sleepy. "Just wash their clothes, clean them, mend them, and often wear reading glasses under the lamp, sewing one by one."
After a long time, the soldiers all know that Qin Jiwei is a senior cadre and works like everyone else, so they all respect him. On one occasion, the soldiers quietly asked during the break: "You have become such a big official, and you are still picking up shit. Are you uncomfortable? " Qin Jiwei smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? When I took part in the revolution, I only thought about the liberation of the poor, not about being an official. I was born in a working people's family. Participating in labor can be said to be like a duck to water. Feed yourself with your own beads of sweat, and the rice is delicious. What's so sad? "
1April, 973, Qin Jiwei finally survived, and the central authorities sent someone to take him back to Beijing, and he soon became the commander of the Chengdu Military Region. From 65438 to 0976, Qin Jiwei was the commander of the Beijing Military Region and the first secretary of the Party Committee. In this position, Qin Jiwei worked for eight years.
1 98410 June1day, the 35th anniversary of the National Day military parade was held. This military parade is of great significance. Since the military parade in founding ceremony, a military parade has been held in Beijing every National Day. However, since 1960, the state has reformed the national day ceremony system in line with the principle of practicing economy and building the country through diligence and thrift, and implemented "a small celebration every five years, a anniversary every ten years", and only one military parade is held every anniversary day.
1984 is not the "anniversary year", and holding a military parade at this time is the result of careful consideration by the state. 198 10 August 10, Deng Xiaoping said: "We haven't fought for a long time. We should encourage the morale of the army through exercises and military parades and train the army like an army. "
As a large-scale military parade after the reform and opening up, the state decided to take the 1984 military parade as an opportunity to promote the modernization and regularization of the army, and Qin Jiwei is Parade Leader. This alone can explain Qin Jiwei's important position in the army at that time.
1988 In April, Qin Jiwei became the Minister of National Defense and was promoted to the rank of general in September. 1February 2, 997, Qin Jiwei died in Beijing at the age of 83.
At the beginning of this article, it is mentioned that Qin Jiwei's two sons are now the ranks of Lieutenant General, which is a trinity. Little known is that Qin Jiwei's son-in-law Yang Dongming is also a lieutenant general, and Yang Dongming's father is the founding general Yang Chengwu. He married Qin Jiwei's daughter Yongjiang Qin in his early years.
Among Qin Jiwei's three children, her daughter Yongjiang Qin is the most miserable. In special period, Yongjiang Qin was always with his father, which made Qin Jiwei feel a little comfort in his spare time.
Qin Jiwei was strict with his children, and his second son, Qin Tian, took part in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. Qin Jiwei is strict with his son to join the army, starting from the bottom of the company. Before Qin Tian went to the army, Qin Jiwei said to him, "When you are a soldier, you have to go to the company. What are you doing in the office? And it's a combat company. Almost all the older generation demanded this. You must start as a soldier, otherwise what's a soldier for? Since you are interested in this business, I will tell you the rules of this business, starting with being a soldier in the company. "
When Qin Tian set out to participate in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, he said to his father, "Dad, I may not be able to be filial in the future!" Qin Jiwei directly scolded him, "What are you going to play this little game? Can you compare it with our past war years?"? How can a team leader feel this way? "
Now all the children in Qin Jiwei are very promising, and I believe the old general will laugh under the grave. Finally, 15 airborne troops, as a heroic force, participated in the earthquake relief operation of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, among which the most famous one was the "Fifteen Warriors of Airborne Troops".
In the early morning of May 13, Li Zhenbo, then director of a research institute of airborne troops, was ordered to command the commandos to participate in the rescue operation. This is a "three no-airborne" without meteorological data, ground guidance and ground signs, and its difficulty can be imagined. The amazing jump of these fifteen warriors is not only for the people, but also a continuation of the spirit of 15 army that emerged in the battle of Shangganling. I think this is enough to comfort the martyrs of this heroic army.
This article is written in memory of Comrade Qin Jiwei, the founding lieutenant general. In fact, there are no peaceful years at all, only others carry the burden for you. Since we live in peacetime, we should remember history and cherish the memory of martyrs!
