During the Red Army period, there was a special army with a group of teenagers whose average age was less than 18. This unit is the International Youth Division, which was established in August 1933.
Because they are all teenagers, teachers and political committees are also very young. Xiao Hua was only 17 years old when he was the political commissar of Shao * * * International Division. He is the second political commissar of Shao * * International Division, but he is the youngest political commissar in the history of the Red Army.
His partner's teacher, Wu, was a soldier in the National Army, but hated the corruption of the National Army, so he quit the National Army, joined Mr. Zhu's army, and came to Jinggangshan after attending the Nanchang Uprising.
Wu performed well in the battle and Mr. Zhu admired him very much. Later, he was promoted to the division commander of Red Second Division. When Shao * * * International Division was founded, he was the first teacher of Red 2 Division. On June 5438+065438+ 10, Wu exchanged notes and became the international teacher of Shao * * *.
1933, Wu Cai was 23 years old and Xiao Hua 17 years old, leading a group of soldiers under 18 years old, so Wu was also called "teacher doll". Although he is young, his fighting capacity is not weak.
Not long after its establishment, less * * * international divisions took part in the battle. The enemy is the national army, Zhouzhi, and its weapons are much better than the Red Army. However, Wu was fearless in the face of danger, took the lead in rushing forward and won the battle, which was praised by Mr. Zhu.
In the battle to recover Lichuan, the enemy's forces were several times less than those of the international division, and their weapons were excellent. The enemy also had planes and artillery, and our attack was blocked.
Wu was very angry, so he was going to hand-to-hand combat with a bayonet. A shell fell, and the guards quickly threw it down without being hurt. After he got up, he continued to charge and led the troops to recover Lichuan in one breath.
This battle made Chen Cheng very angry. He sent many planes to drop bombs on the position of the international division. At that time, Wu observed the enemy with a telescope under a big tree. He didn't notice the bomb and was injured.
Xiaohua immediately sent someone to carry him to Jianning Hospital. When the headquarters of the Red Army learned about it, they called for sympathy and asked for all-out rescue. However, Wu was hit by seven shrapnel and bled to death.
The news of Wu's sacrifice reached the headquarters of the Red Army, and the leaders were very sad. They also asked the Red Star to publish an article "Mourning Wu". Xiao Hua was the founding general. He once said that if Wu had not died young, he would have been at least a general after the founding of the People's Republic of China, still ahead of him.
1February, 935, the Red Army Headquarters revoked the Shao * * * International Division designation. Although it only existed for 1 years, it has withstood the cruel test of war and trained a group of talents for our army. Later, 17 people became the founding generals, and Wu made the greatest contribution.
