1in the spring of 925, he broke free from the shackles of feudalism and resolutely plunged into the torrent of the Great Revolution and embarked on the revolutionary road. In July, he joined the China * * * Production Youth League. In the same year, to China * * * production party party member. In the autumn of the same year, dispatched by the Party organization, he went to Feng Yuxiang's army to engage in the underground work of the Party with the early famous party member Qingqun Qian, and began to be a student and a soldier in Feng Yuxiang's Second Military and Political School. He met Liu Bojian, Malson, Wang Xiaoxi and other party member, and was influenced by Marxism.
1927, the party organization sent Niu Huadong to the Kuomintang Northwest Army to carry out military transportation. At first, Niu Huadong was a little puzzled and felt ashamed that he was a white army. Liu Zhidan talked to him and said, "To engage in military transport is to engage in revolution in the enemy camp. If you are wronged temporarily, the organization will understand. You must finish this task well. " Niu Huadong did not live up to the great trust of the party, actively worked in the Northwest Army and United some progressive fighters around him. On June+10, 5438, the reactionaries in the Northwest Army arrested and detained Niu Huadong on the charge of "* * * suspected producer". After more than three months of detention and interrogation, they had to be released because they could not find any evidence.
After Niu Huadong was released from prison, he returned to northern Shaanxi from Lanzhou. After the review of the party organization, Liu Zhidan talked to him: "You fought resolutely and artistically in the enemy's prison and decided to send you back to the Northwest Army." On the second trip to the Northwest Army, Niu Huadong served as platoon leader and company commander successively, and the art of struggle became more mature. He used contradictions to wage a "rational, favorable and restrained" struggle with the enemy, and repeatedly defeated the conspiracy of rebellion and espionage. Later, the troops were reorganized, and Niu Huadong was appointed as the chief of staff, ordnance officer, deputy head and head of the newly compiled Eleventh Brigade under the command of General Deng Baoshan.
1947, Chiang Kai-shek tore up the October 10th Agreement and launched a full-scale civil war. According to Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, Hu Zongnan dispatched troops and blocked the Shensi-kansu-ningsia border region. At the same time, Deng Baoshan, who was stationed in Yulin area, was very uneasy about the 22nd Army and the New Eleventh Brigade stationed in the trilateral area. On the one hand, he informed Deng Baoshan to transfer the New Eleventh Brigade to Baotou and reorganize it into a regular division. On the other hand, he informed Wu Fen, the deputy brigade commander of the brigade, and the members of the Fuxing Society, such as Ertuan Changshifang, to divide their forces to disintegrate the New Eleventh Brigade. At that time, the New Eleventh Brigade had only one regiment with strong Party strength, branches and even teams. Party leaders include Niu Huadong, Hu Liting, Feng, Gao Yizhi, Gao Kunshan, Xie Youde and others. Therefore, the enemy determined that "if the first regiment does not accept the adaptation, the second regiment can enter Anbian in the name of long-distance camping on the 28th of this month, and take the opportunity to solve the first regiment by force". Therefore, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Trilateral Committee asked the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to decide that the 654381October 25th1brigade would rise ahead of schedule. On the evening of October 24th, 65438+ year/kloc-0, Niu Huadong, Feng and others made an uprising plan and set up an uprising headquarters, with Niu Huadong as the general commander. At dawn on October 25th, 65438 10, the uprising began. First, Wu Fen, deputy brigade commander of the 11th Brigade, Shi Peijiu, chief of staff, Xie Shuipeng, secretary of the pseudo-county party committee, and others were detained. Zhang Dingchen, a member of Baath Society, was killed for resisting arrest. Immediately, the troops quickly occupied the commanding heights and key departments of the city. On the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Wenzhou, chief of staff of the Third Brigade of the Eighth Route Army Gendarmerie stationed in Dingbian, went to town to support the uprising. Before the uprising, in order to get Cao Youcan, the brigade commander of Yulin, back to the army to participate in the uprising, Niu Huadong sent an urgent telegram to Deng Baoshan: "The second regiment wants to solve one regiment by force, and now it is in a state of confrontation." Deng Baoshan urgently sent Cao to join the Ministry, published an uprising and electrified it. Later, when Chairman Mao met Cao Shenyou in Yan 'an, he said, "You are locomotives!" Liberation Daily published an editorial for this purpose, fully affirming the significance and achievements of the 11th Brigade in fighting against Chiang Kai-shek's civil war uprising. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Deputy Commander Peng hosted a banquet in honor of Cao Youcan. He Long, commander of the Shanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Jinsui Joint Defense Army, specially organized a reception for Cao, appointed him as a brigade commander, and joined the China * * * Production Party on 1947. In order to strengthen the work of this brigade, the CPC Central Committee appointed Guo Bingkun as the political commissar of the brigade, Niu Huadong as the deputy brigade commander, Prince Zhuang Ren as the chief of staff, and Su as the director of the political department. The regiments, battalions and companies were also equipped with political cadres. Under the correct leadership of the Party, this army fought bloody battles and made due contributions to the liberation of China. 1948, the main force of the Trilateral Army Division went to Longdong to fight. At that time, Niu Huadong, who was the deputy commander of the Military Division, only took a guard platoon and some guerrillas to stay in the Trilateral Area. After discovering the situation, the enemy launched a crazy attack on them. Niu Huadong followed the instructions of Peng, the deputy commander-in-chief, "looking for opportunities to destroy the enemy's effective forces, not to gain or lose one city and one place" and led the troops and guerrillas to fight many beautiful battles. Once in the battle of Zhangjiamao in Dingbian, the enemy recognized Niu Huadong's war horse and surrounded him in three ways, screaming: "Take Niu Huadong alive, eat beef, eat cow's head and drink beef soup!" But Niu Huadong said humorously: "I am a revolutionary ox. This beef, cow head and beef soup can only be dedicated to the people. Dog bandits want to take advantage of my old cow-no way! " He concentrated his forces in the middle of the enemy and broke through the encirclement of the enemy.
After the founding of New China, Niu Huadong successively served as Chief of Staff of Ningxia Military Region, Commander of Yinchuan Military Division and Deputy Commander of Ningxia Military Region, and made contributions to the liberation and construction of people of all ethnic groups in Ningxia. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a handful of reactionary officers, spies and habitual bandits of the Kuomintang surrendered to our army on the surface, but they hated the people's regime at heart. According to the reconnaissance at that time, there were more than 20 bandits in the southern mountainous area of Ningxia, accounting for more than 500 people. They committed many evils and attacked the troops of Ningxia Military Region for 26 times in a row, with our casualties 170.
1949 65438+In mid-February, Ningxia Military Region set up a bandit suppression headquarters in time, with Huang Luobin and Niu Huadong, the only teachers at that time, as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia bandit suppression headquarters, leading a regiment of cavalry to attack the southern mountainous area overnight to clear it. After more than eight months' efforts, Ma Shaowu, a habitual bandit, was killed, Zhang Hailu, the bandit leader, and Li Chengfu, a stubborn bandit, were captured alive three times, forcing the bandits to surrender, basically eliminating more than 20 bandits in the southern mountainous areas and defending the new people's democratic regime.
1965, Niu Huadong retired; He said: "Although I am resting, I am still party member, and my thoughts cannot retreat." As a veteran, he insists on being strict with himself by party member's standards. Besides taking an active part in related social activities, he also studied and read newspapers and practiced calligraphy. His style is clean, his life is hard and simple, he never reaches out to the organization and does not specialize, which is admired by his comrades. He is sickly, blind in his right eye, and his vision in his left eye is only 0.2. He still actively responded to the party's call and wrote two revolutionary historical materials and personal memoirs, which were rated as advanced individuals in socialist spiritual civilization construction by Ningxia Military Region, as "outstanding retired cadres" by the General Political Department and commended by Lanzhou Military Region. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, Comrade Niu Huadong was re-appointed as the deputy secretary and executive vice chairman of the CPPCC Central Committee-at this time, Comrade Niu Huadong, who was 70 years old, regained revolutionary youth.
Especially after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he earnestly studied and understood the spirit of the document, went deep into rural areas and mountainous areas for investigation and study, and actively made suggestions and suggestions for Ningxia's socialist construction with the vigorous energy of "riding an old horse", winning the praise of cadres and masses inside and outside the party and inside and outside the military.
1995165438+1On October 2nd, Niu Huadong died in Yinchuan at the age of 89.
