Wu Xiuquan (1 9 0 8— 1 9 9 7), formerly known as Wu Shouquan, was born in Wuchang, Hubei, and his ancestral home was Daye. His grandfather Wu Lunkui and his father Wu both worked in Huguang Yamen, the governor of the Qing court in Wuchang, specializing in copying documents. Although the income is limited, they eat "imperial grain", and the family has no worries about food and clothing, and once reached the level of a well-off family. But it didn't last long. When Wu Xiuquan was three years old, the Revolution of 1911 broke out in Wuchang, his hometown, and the Huguang Governor's Office ceased to exist overnight. The two bookkeepers of the Wu family naturally lost their jobs, and the only source of income for the whole family was cut off. The Revolution of 1911 overthrew the Qing Dynasty and ended the imperial system in China for more than 2,000 years. This is of course a blessing for social development and the nation, but it has brought a great impact to the Wu family, who originally relied on the old system to make a living, and they suddenly fell to the bottom of society. Wu Xiuquan's grandfather died of poverty and disease, but his father ran into a wall when he was looking for a job everywhere. The whole family had to make a living by pasting matchboxes and other manual labor. Wu Xiuquan has eight brothers. He is the fourth child. From an early age, he followed his brothers to pick up the roots of vegetable leaves and potatoes along the Yangtze River and cinders and sticks on the Snake Mountain. Most of his neighbors were workers, craftsmen and vendors, and their children became Wu Xiuquan's childhood companions. It was all this that provided the necessary conditions and environment for Wu Xiuquan to become a revolutionary, thus laying the initial "class foundation". As he himself said in his memory, the decline of the family line caused by the Revolution of 1911 "on the other hand brought me some unexpected benefits, which can be said to be' gains and losses' ... The realistic education I received here was very helpful for me to participate in the revolution later."
Because of his poor family and many children, it is not easy for Wu Xiuquan to eat and wear, and it is even more difficult to get an education. Until 1920, when he was 12 years old, he could only help at home to support his family. However, he is not uneducated. After all, his father is a bookkeeper and a scholar. Although he can't teach Wu Xiuquan modern knowledge, he can learn basic literacy, and he can recite some poems by Confucius. At that time, it was the second year of the May 4th Movement. In order to popularize education and arouse people, some enthusiastic people began to run schools for the children of the working people, and wuchang city also set up "single-level schools" without tuition fees. Wu Xiuquan heard the news from a neighbor's friend and signed up. The teacher saw that he was basically literate, and his age was far above that of other children, so he directly inserted himself into the second grade of primary school, and Wu Xiuquan finally officially started his studies. Compared with many primary schools in remote areas today, this primary school in Wuchang Town is probably much inferior. The so-called school is just a classroom, and a teacher takes turns giving lectures to more than 40 students in four grades. Despite the simple conditions, Wu Xiuquan still studies hard. Because of this special teaching mode, he can listen to several classes of different grades at the same time, and his learning efficiency doubles. That year he jumped to the third grade of junior high school. While Wu Xiuquan was studying hard, the situation changed again. This "single-level school" affiliated to Wuchang Normal Primary School has been closed for a year and a half, and Wu Xiuquan is facing the fate of dropping out of school. The so-called God helps himself, because he has been studying hard since he entered school, and he is among the best, and his teachers attach great importance to him. When the single-level school was closed, he helped him to dredge the relevant parties, let him enter Wuchang Normal School, which was also free of charge, and transferred to the fourth grade of junior high school to continue his studies, so that Wu Xiuquan could continue his studies.
As a regular school, the school stipulates that every student must wear a school uniform. This small school uniform is simply more difficult for the Wu family, and even eating is often interrupted. How can I have spare money to buy him a school uniform? After repeated requests and teachers' sympathy and understanding, the school made an exception and allowed him to go to school without wearing a uniform after exempting tuition fees. Therefore, Wu Xiuquan wears a homely old cloth shirt and carries a homemade small schoolbag every day, walking in a uniform student team. Because of his clothes, he had to sit in the last corner of the classroom as usual, queue up for exercises and stand at the end of a row. Wherever he goes, he is a prominent target and is satirized and laughed at from time to time. At this point, Wu Xiuquan is no longer an ordinary ignorant teenager. The surrounding social environment has made him understand that a person should be self-reliant and respected, not in appearance, but in character and knowledge. The bad feeling on his face forced out the self-esteem in his bones and made him more motivated. He is inferior to others in clothes, but he is higher than others in study. Because of Wu Xiuquan's diligence, modesty and sincerity in dealing with others, he quickly won the respect and goodwill of teachers and classmates around him, and finally successfully completed his three-year study in the primary school attached to Normal University.
This 14-year-old boy was lucky to meet his teacher, and a representative of Zhong * * * became his group introducer.
1922, the second year after the founding of China * * * Production Party, Wu Xiuquan entered the fifth grade in the primary school attached to Normal University. In this year, a new teacher came to Wu Xiuquan's class. The teacher was in his mid-twenties, square, heavy-eyed, smiling and upright, which made Wu Xiuquan feel respectable and amiable at first sight. Soon after the teacher came to the classroom, he noticed Wu Xiuquan, who was a head ahead of the rest of the class in his studies. Chatting with him often, I soon got familiar with him and established a very close relationship. This teacher is an enlightener of Wu Xiuquan Thought and a guide on the revolutionary road, a great representative of * * *, and the earliest producer of * * * in Hubei, Chen Tanqiu. At that time, Chen Tanqiu took school teachers as a professional cover, while leading the Party's work in Hubei, while spreading revolutionary ideas and discovering and cultivating revolutionary youth. He not only teaches students Chinese, history and other important courses, but also is a class teacher closely related to students, equivalent to the class teacher in today's schools. In class, Chen Tanqiu constantly instilled a lot of revolutionary truth and social knowledge into children's minds. When explaining revolutionary theory, he is good at combining reality and staying within the scope of lectures. He infiltrated the viewpoints of historical materialism and dialectical materialism into the topics he wanted to talk about, which made students unconsciously accept many basic Marxist viewpoints. The truth he spoke was fresh and profound, and the language was vivid and simple. For a young man with a strong thirst for knowledge like Wu Xiuquan, it is like pouring rain on the desert of revolutionary knowledge and sowing seeds in the virgin land to be developed. Because of his family status and environment, Wu Xiuquan was puzzled by many social injustices. After listening to Mr. Chen's lecture and speech, the ideological fog gradually dispersed.
After a while, Chen Tanqiu organized Wu Xiuquan and other older and motivated students to use their spare time to help the children of migrant workers read and write. At the same time, he made a social survey of students' parents and families, which enabled Wu Xiuquan to have a deeper contact and understanding of the living conditions of working people and proletarians, thus inspiring and improving his class consciousness and concept of struggle. On this basis, Chen Tanqiu asked Wu Xiuquan and others to take part in some peripheral activities of the Party, so that they gradually changed from ordinary students to progressive young people with revolutionary ideas.
At the end of 1923, after more than a year's education and investigation, the party organization decided to recruit Wu Xiuquan, aged 15, and two other students to join the Socialist Youth League, with Chen Tanqiu and the then head of the Wuhan Youth League as referees. The joining ceremony is no better than today. There is neither an impassioned general oath nor a loud collective singing. Just after class, in a small room, Chen Tanqiu solemnly and profoundly informed three students, including Wu Xiuquan, that their demands had been approved by the organization, allowing them to become members of the China Socialist Youth League led by the Party. Later, he and Comrade He Afraid explained to others the tasks of the Youth League, the requirements for its members and its future work. At the same time, they decided to form the first Youth League Committee of the Middle School Attached to Normal University by Wu Xiuquan and two other students, and appointed Wu Xiuquan as the first Youth League Committee leader. Although the ceremony is simple, it is of great significance. It can be said that this is the most important turning point in Wu Xiuquan's life. From this day on, Wu Xiuquan officially became a member of the revolutionary ranks. At that time, the * * * production party was abbreviated as "CP" and the * * * youth league was abbreviated as "CY".
Wu Xiuquan undoubtedly became the first group in Wuhan at that time and the first generation of youth league members in China.
On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, they left their hometown for the north, and the freshmen were among the universities in the Soviet Union.
/kloc-in the autumn of 0/925, Wu Xiuquan just finished his first year of study in the middle school attached to Normal University. One day shortly after the start of school, I passed by the door of Qian, the head of the local party organization. Mr. Qian stopped him at a distance and told him that he had something very important to talk about. It turned out that after the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the Central Committee of the International Federation of Industry and Commerce decided to set up a school named after Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Moscow to further help and support the China Revolution. This is Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow. Sun Yat-sen University is ready for construction. the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China informed local party organizations to send a group of young party member, League members and progressive youth to the designated place to concentrate, and then collectively go to the Soviet Union to study. According to the notice of the Central Committee, the Hubei Party Organization made a study of its party member, league members and young cadres, and identified Wu Xiuquan and other comrades as candidates for studying in the Soviet Union. After hearing the news, Wu Xiuquan was ecstatic. Moscow, the red capital, is a holy place in the minds of revolutionary youth and the birthplace of the October Revolution. Studying there is beyond his dreams. He immediately expressed his intention to study in the Soviet Union to Mr. Qian.
According to the regulations of the Central Committee, all personnel from all over the country who go to the Soviet Union are on standby in Shanghai. Due to the limited funds of the party at that time, the travel expenses and personal luggage to Shanghai could only be solved by each person, which became a major problem for the Wu family. Although the whole family is very happy that Wu Xiuquan got the opportunity to study abroad, life is still very difficult, because there is no extra food at home, let alone arranging travel expenses and luggage for Wu Xiuquan. Just when Wu Xiuquan was at the end of his tether, his teachers and classmates gave him a helping hand. Mr. Zhang, a primary school teacher, sent him 40 yuan's savings for many years, which solved his travelling expenses and packaging problems. His classmate He Liren gave him a woolen coat to help him cross the Sea of Japan and Siberia to resist the cold. Other teachers and friends also expressed their support and help to him in various ways, which enabled Wu Xiuquan to go smoothly. 1925 On the evening of Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Jiawei held a farewell banquet. My father lost a little meat for the first time and drank two glasses of wine. My mother made him a plate of scrambled eggs. After the reunion dinner, his father and three brothers put him on an eastbound ship. At that time, no one thought that this was their last farewell. Before Wu Xiuquan returned to his hometown, his father and three brothers died of poverty and disease. Wu Xiuquan returned to his hometown to reunite with his mother after the founding of New China.
That year1October 28th, 10, Wu Xiuquan and his comrades boarded a coal ship bound for the Soviet Union and arrived in Vladivostok in the Far East. It took them two weeks to change trains and arrived in the revolutionary holy land of Moscow, where the Soviet government provided these China revolutionaries with quite good study and living conditions. At that time, Sun Yat-sen University was facing the street, and there was a cathedral with a long history nearby. The school building is spacious, with several floors, including dormitory, classroom, snack bar and office building, and a special club. There is a big square in the school, a PE teacher specially invited from Sweden leads the students to do morning exercises, and a small garden has been built at the south end of the school for teachers and students to walk and chat after school. Shortly after arriving at the school, the school hired a tailor to tailor daily clothes such as suits, coats and leather shoes for each China student, then divided into classes and issued student ID cards, and each student received 10 rubles pocket money every month. As a result, Wu Xiuquan, a poor boy who sat in the corner of the classroom and was in rags and hungry, suddenly became a college student in a suit and tie at that time and enjoyed first-class education and training.
Sun Yat-sen University is organized into several classes according to the education level of China students, with about 20 students in each class. Comrades from France, Germany and other countries have a high level of foreign languages and are organized into French and German classes. Those who go to China with good English will be organized into English classes and take foreign language classes directly. Courses studied include Marxism–Leninism's philosophy, political economy, scientific socialism, unified party history, western revolutionary movement history, eastern revolutionary movement history and Russian. In the class, Wu Xiuquan is the youngest and the least educated. Most other students have received college education, or at least high school. He is the only one who has just finished his first year of high school. Because Wu Xiuquan is diligent and studious, he has made rapid progress as a junior high school student, and his overall performance is in the middle of this elite group, surpassing many comrades with solid foundation, especially Russian and political economy. Studying in CUHK, learning Russian well is the premise of understanding the professor's lectures, and Wu Xiuquan has also made great efforts in Russian learning. At that time, there was only one Russian Grammar written by Mr. Liu Zerong among the students. As soon as Wu Xiuquan returned to the dormitory, he tried to read it and remember all the changing rules of nouns, pronouns, adjectives and verbs. In order to learn words, Wu Xiuquan specially prepared a small notebook, copied all the new words he came into contact with into the notebook, and recited them repeatedly. After memorizing them, he removed this batch, replaced them with new unfamiliar words, and recited them repeatedly, so that his vocabulary improved rapidly. In addition, Wu Xiuquan also used various opportunities to practice Russian listening and speaking, and improved his Russian level through practical application. In this way, Wu Xiuquan's Russian level has improved rapidly in a short time, and he can generally understand the teacher's lectures without translation. In the course of political economy, because Wu Xiuquan is interested in this subject at ordinary times, he has read many teaching materials and counseling materials, and his Russian level is extraordinary, so the students unanimously recommend him as an interpreter. In class, Wu Xiuquan translated and explained the teacher's argument fluently and accurately, which was well received by everyone.
Fourth, the counter-revolutionary coup was overcast and Wen Xiu became a general.
Wu Xiuquan has been studying in CUHK for almost two years. Just as he was about to finish his studies in CUHK, an amazing news came that Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup, and the vigorous Great Revolution failed because of the rebellion of the Kuomintang right-wing forces. Producers in China rose up and responded to the cruel suppression of the Kuomintang reactionaries with a series of armed uprisings. In the fierce struggle, the Party was deeply aware of the shortage of military talents, so through the * * * international delegation, a group of students who graduated from Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow and were ready to return to China were selected and sent to various military schools in the Soviet Union to train military talents with formal education and training for the New People's Army. Just as Wu Xiuquan was anxious about not being able to return to China to participate in the struggle, the school conveyed this instruction from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to him, and Wu Xiuquan immediately said that he would obey the arrangement of the organization. According to Wu Xiuquan's conditions, he can freely choose different arms and their disciplines according to his hobbies, such as infantry, artillery, engineers, cavalry, navy and air force. And you are free to sign up for the exam. Considering that the main form of domestic combat will be guerrilla warfare, although other arms are more chic and relaxed than infantry, the infantry with only two legs is most suitable for the needs of domestic struggle, so he decided to learn infantry.
Before Wu Xiuquan came to the Soviet Union, he was just a young student with little experience. Although he has learned a lot about Marxism–Leninism in the past two years, as a soldier, he is still at a loss. So he decided to learn from scratch and apply for the Moscow Infantry School, which specializes in training junior military commanders. 1 1 students from Sun Yat-sen University, including Wu Xiuquan, were organized into a separate China class, becoming the first batch of China students from Moscow Staircase School. Bu school is located in the suburb of Moscow, using the former military academy site that existed in the czar era. The environment here is very different from that of Sun Yat-sen University. The school building is completely barracks-style, with all kinds of training equipment and indoor playground. The student dormitory is also completely the style of grassroots companies. More than 30 people live in each dormitory at the same time, which happens to be a row. Each row has a wooden bed, a small cabinet and a collective gun rack. At the ladder school, Wu Xiuquan changed into a suit and tie. In summer, he wore a hooded soldier's light coat, and in winter, he dragged a tweed coat and knee-high felt boots, completely becoming an ordinary Soviet soldier.
The lifestyle and work and rest system of walking to school are exactly the same as those of the army. Get up early every day to do exercises and run, and have classes after breakfast for five hours. After all the morning exercises, I have lunch. After lunch break, I have three hours of exercise. In the evening, I have to study by myself. In addition to reviewing lessons, sorting out notes, reading related books, and sometimes listening to teachers' guidance. For Wu Xiuquan, this kind of life is tense and rigid, but the content is very rich and substantial, which makes him feel that he has made some gains and progress every day, so his motivation to learn has never weakened. There are many courses in walking school, such as queue training, shooting and dropping bombs, topography, etc., which put forward high requirements for students' physical quality. However, this stumped Wu Xiuquan, who was never a weak scholar. As a child of a poor family, long-term labor has exercised his strong physique. When he was studying in China, he was an athlete who never missed the school sports meeting. He once won almost all the champions in the same age group at a sports meeting and was called "Taiwan Gun" by his classmates. Wu Xiuquan is used to the wind and rain in the wild. At that time, the Soviet army still attached importance to cavalry, and the students in the step school also had to learn riding. As the saying goes, "northerners are good horses and southerners are good boats." Wu Xiuquan is a young man who grew up on the edge of the Yangtze River. He doesn't even know much about horses, so it is difficult to learn to ride a horse. But Wu Xiuquan has an indomitable spirit. After I don't know how many somersaults, he can not only control the horse with his hands, but also hold the horse's belly with his legs, and he can shoot freely at once and become a skilled rider.
In winter and summer, Wu Xiuquan and other comrades will go to the suburbs to participate in camping training and offensive and defensive exercises. In summer, they have to build their own tents and live outdoors; Winter will be tested by tens of degrees below zero in Russia. Wu Xiuquan often wears a felt hat that only shows his face, a long and thick military coat and heavy high boots. He crawled in the snow as deep as a foot or two, and walked forward one step at a time. Every step was very difficult. In strenuous exercise, on the one hand, the cold wind outside is like a knife, on the other hand, the body is as hot as fire. This unusual exercise helped Wu Xiuquan adapt to various climates and environments, cultivated his perseverance and courage to overcome difficulties, and laid a good foundation for his military career in the next few decades.
Five, exotic beauty can't keep China youth, from Boli to Wan Li, Jiangxi to Rongji.
By 1929, Wu Xiuquan had been studying in Moscow Staircase School for two years. In June of this year 10, a border conflict occurred between Zhang Xueliang and the Soviet army in the northeast, which was also the "Middle East Road Incident". The Soviet army urgently needed a batch of Chinese translators to go out with the troops, so it went to Moscow Step School and selected ten comrades, including Wu Xiuquan. After the war, Wu Xiuquan was assigned to the Soviet Far East Security Bureau and became a full-time translator. There, Wu Xiuquan became a Soviet officer, joined the United Bolshevik Party, and obtained excellent working conditions and living environment. At that time, there were many overseas Chinese in the Far East, most of whom were farmers, and their Russian level was not high. The Soviet government needs Chinese translators to help it manage. Wu Xiuquan, who has received professional education and translation practice training, is high flyers of Sun Yat-sen University, and his work is proactive, so he is highly valued by the leaders of the Security Bureau. In order to do a good job for local overseas Chinese, a local Chinese newspaper was published. Wu Xiuquan was often asked to translate some important articles in Soviet newspapers and documents of military and political organs into Chinese and publish them in the newspaper. Some of them were also compiled into pamphlets for overseas Chinese to read. Wu Xiuquan is skilled in translation, and he writes quickly. Sometimes he can translate more than 10 thousand words in a weekend, and once published, he can get the corresponding reward. At that time, Wu Xiuquan was quite rich and didn't spend much. He quickly accumulated a large sum of savings, and often took out the payment to invite comrades around him to eat out and eat mutton kebabs. You know, at that time, the Soviet Union was still in the First Five-Year Plan period and life was still very difficult. One day at lunch, you can only see a little diced meat in cabbage soup. It is a luxury to eat large pieces of meat and drink in a restaurant.
During that time in the Soviet Union, Wu Xiuquan was not only very well-off economically, but also cared for by the goddess of love. In the eyes of many Soviet girls, young people from China are ideal lovers. Most of them are well-educated, young, handsome and educated. At that time, there were indeed some young people in China who stayed in the Soviet Union and married local girls to live and work in peace and contentment, so that they were not satisfied with Shu. During the toddler period in Moscow, a nurse girl named "Kajia" in the toddler clinic was very fond of him and often went to see him. Because Wu Xiuquan's Russian name is Bitchekov, people jokingly combine their names and call them Bitchekajia. The nurse accepted it, but Wu Xiuquan didn't say anything. Later, he was ordered to transfer to the Far East, and this feeling was gone. After arriving at the Far East Security Bureau, a female member of the unit took a fancy to him again and hinted at him several times, but Wu Xiuquan always pretended not to understand each other's kindness and didn't respond. Later, in order to let him take root in the local area and work with peace of mind, the leaders of the Security Bureau repeatedly mobilized him to marry a Soviet girl and took the initiative to be his matchmaker.
An easy life cannot calm Wu Xiuquan down. The longer he lived in the Soviet Union, the more anxious he became about his motherland, and the desire to return to China to participate in the struggle haunted him day and night. When he is full of blood and energy, it is not his ideal to sit in the office and chew bread and butter all day. What he yearns for is to return to the motherland and fight side by side with his comrades. He tentatively put his ideas to the leaders of the Security Bureau several times and asked him where the leaders of the Security Bureau would let such rare talents go. He told him that party member was an internationalist, and where he worked, he fought for productism. His work in the bureau is very important, so he doesn't have to go back to China. After hitting a wall several times, Wu Xiuquan decided to bypass the Far East Security Bureau and ask China's international central delegation for help. However, how can we get the consent of the leaders and go to Moscow thousands of miles away? In desperation, Wu Xiuquan has made a plan of "golden cicada". He told a little lie to the leader of the Far East Security Bureau, saying that he had a girlfriend in Moscow and wanted to go back to see her and mobilize her to come to the Far East and settle here. Hearing this, the leader was greatly satisfied and immediately approved his request. He also helped him solve the air ticket from Boli, the capital of the Far East, to Moscow, opened a letter of introduction from the hotel, and approved special tolls. Wu Xiuquan exulted. In order not to arouse suspicion, he hardly brought any personal belongings or even touched his expensive savings, and went to Moscow alone. In Moscow, Wu Xiuquan immediately contacted the Central Delegation of China, an international manufacturer. With the help of the responsible comrades of the delegation, Wu Xiuquan's request to return to China was finally accepted by the Soviet side, and he was prepared to return to China secretly under the arrangement of the organization.
There were three secret routes to return home from the Soviet Union. One is to bypass Europe and return home by ocean liner. The other is to take a Soviet cargo ship in Vladivostok and go directly to China ports such as Shanghai or Dalian by sea. Although these two lines are relatively safe, they are expensive, time-consuming and laborious. The third way is to sneak across the border through the Sino-Soviet border, which is the most convenient but also the most dangerous. Wu Xiuquan longed to return to China and chose this road. One night, Wu Xiuquan put on a black Chinese underwear, wrapped the US dollar bills and China bills as travelling expenses around her waist with a waist cloth, boarded a carriage and headed for the border under the cover of the secret traffic police. When we were about to cross the border, a cry came from a bunker on a mound: "Who?" That's the sentry of China warlord's army asking questions. The driver easily replied: "Russian!" At that time, residents on both sides of the border often went back and forth to work or buy and sell goods. Seeing too many sentries, they are often too lazy to ask questions one by one. Wu Xiuquan only heard a few lazy grunts from the bunker, but no one appeared. The carriage did not slow down and quickly left the border post. The dangerous border, due to the carelessness of the White Army sentry, allowed Wu Xiuquan to pass smoothly. Wu Xiuquan arrived at Manzhouli Railway Station, took the train to Yingkou, boarded the passenger ship from Yingkou to Shanghai, and prepared to wait for the next arrangement of the organization at the designated place.
However, after arriving in Shanghai, Wu Xiuquan waited in the hotel designated in advance for nearly a month, and no comrades came to meet him. It turns out that the underground party organization in Shanghai has just suffered a terrible disaster. Gu, the head of the Central Special Branch, betrayed many secrets of our party. Many comrades were arrested and sacrificed. It is difficult for the underground party organizations in Shanghai to resume their normal work for a while. Wu Xiuquan is in a very difficult situation, and his life is in danger at any time. He rushed back to China from thousands of miles away, but suddenly he lost contact with the party. The joy of just returning to China was completely replaced by anxiety and disappointment, and he didn't know what to do at the moment. Wu Xiuquan wanted to go, so he had to bite his teeth and walk in the street. On the one hand, this practice greatly increases the possibility of being caught, on the other hand, there is hope of seeing comrades. One night, on Nanjing Road, Wu Xiuquan pretended to be a tourist and looked at the passing crowd warily. Suddenly, a familiar face came into view. He found Zhang Zhenya, an old comrade who worked with him in the Far East! In general, it is very dangerous to contact acquaintances directly on the street. In a sharp and complicated struggle environment, some people who were friends and comrades yesterday may become traitors and enemies today. But Wu Xiuquan had no choice at this time. With his understanding of Zhang Zhenya, he believed that Zhang Zhenya could be trusted, so he quietly walked over and explained his situation to Zhang Zhenya. Wu Xiuquan is very lucky. Comrade Zhang Zhenya was not exposed, but kept in touch with the organization. He reported the situation in Wu Xiuquan to the superior organization. Under the arrangement of his superiors, Wu Xiuquan left Shanghai and came to Hong Kong by boat. He traveled all the way through the mountainous areas in western Fujian and finally reached his destination-Wan Li in the Central Soviet Area.
As soon as he arrived in the Soviet area, he, a military talent who had been educated in a regular military academy in the Soviet Union, immediately played a role. The Red Army has just seized some Maxim heavy machine guns from the White Army, which Chiang Kai-shek bought from the German Arsenal at a large price. This is a powerful heavy weapon for the Red Army, which is short of rifles. However, at that time, the soldiers knew nothing about the use and maintenance of this new equipment and could only look at the big guys that these four people could carry. After Wu Xiuquan arrived, he fiddled with it for a few times, and immediately let these heavy machine guns spray a dense hail of bullets, showing great power on the battlefield, which made the soldiers deeply admire. Soon, Ye Jianying, the headmaster of the Red Army School, discovered this talent and personally selected Wu Xiuquan as the teacher to explain the principle of archery to the students of the Red Army School. In this way, Wu Xiuquan returned to the stage of domestic revolutionary struggle and turned a new page for his legendary revolutionary life.
