Speaking of Wu Zhonghao, few people in China know about him, but in leiyang city, he is a great hero that local people are proud of, and he is a topic after dinner. Ouyang Zhengping, a writer in Leiyang, has also written tens of thousands of biographies for Wu Zhonghao. Wu Zhonghao, zhaowei, a native of Wu Jia Village, leiyang city. Wu is a famous family in leiyang city. There are many red celebrities, including Wu, the wife of Marshal Zhu De, a great heroine, a proletarian revolutionary, the former deputy minister of health, Wu Shaozu, director of the New China Sports Commission and the People's Liberation Army, and Wu Daoqing, the wife of the founding general Yang Zhicheng and a female soldier of the Red Army. Wu Zhonghao, born in 1903, was smart and studious since childhood. /kloc-admitted to Peking University at the age of 0/9, accepted progressive ideas and joined the socialist youth league. 1923 was transferred to party member, which was one of the earliest party member in Leiyang. /kloc-in the winter of 0/924, Wu Zhonghao, who had graduated and returned to his hometown, secretly established a party organization in Leiyang with Deng Zonghai, Liu Tai, Wu Yunfu and others, and Wu Zhonghao served as the secretary of the third branch. 1in April, 925, Leiyang local executive committee was established, serving as a propaganda committee member, and his wife Duan Fengxiang served as a member of the women's movement. Wu, who was studying in Hengyang Women's Third Division at that time, was influenced by them. This autumn, introduced by Mao Zedong's cousin Mao Zejian, she joined the China Production Party and served as a member of the county executive committee and minister of women's affairs. Wu Zhonghao and Lin Biao were admitted to the fourth phase of Huangpu Military Academy together. After graduation, Wu Zhonghao worked as a military examiner in Guangzhou Peasant Movement Workshop, together with Peng Pai, Hui, Li and Ruan Xiaoxian. These famous producers are all teachers. The director of the sixth issue was Mao Zedong, and Wu Zhonghao got to know Mao Zedong, who had long admired him. After listening to Mao Zedong's analysis of the current situation and judgment on the future of the country, Wu Zhonghao said excitedly: "I will follow you all my life!" 1July, 926, Wu Zhonghao participated in the Northern Expedition. When passing through Leiyang, Hunan, the party organization decided to leave him in the local area and take the lead in participating in the agricultural movement. He served as the director of the regiment defense in Leiyang county and the head of the independent regiment of the agricultural army. During this period, Wu Zhonghao went from village to village with Deng Zonghai, Liu Tai, Wu and others to launch the peasant movement and preach the revolutionary truth. At that time, Wu wrote a folk song, "Now the world is unfair, the rich are poor, the rich drink high-rise wine, and the poor drink the north wind shirtless." Wu Zhonghao, who loves poetry, likes it very much and promotes it vigorously. Soon this song spread in more than a dozen counties in southern Hunan.
1927 After the "Ma Ri incident" in Changsha in May, Wu Zhonghao and others were wanted by the reactionary authorities in Leiyang, and Wu Zhonghao was forced to go to Wuhan as the tenth company commander of the National Government Guard Corps. Three months later, he moved to Hunan, found Mao Zedong, participated in the autumn harvest uprising in Hunan and Jiangxi, and served as the deputy head of the third regiment of the first division of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army and the battalion commander of the third battalion. He fought bravely and led the troops to attack Baisha with great courage, and achieved great victory. Faced with the enemy's heavy encirclement and suppression, the uprising troops joined forces in Wenjiacheng, and the commanders and fighters had great differences on the next development direction. Mao Zedong advocated that the army should go to the countryside and establish revolutionary base areas, which was strongly supported by Wu Zhonghao and deepened Mao Zedong's love and trust for him. On the way to transfer troops, the enemy blocked the front and pursued it. The situation was grim. Wu Zhonghao suggested to Mao Zedong to adopt the strategy of "attacking from east to west again and again" to get rid of the enemy. Mao Zedong took his advice and made the troops reach Sanwan smoothly. Wu Zhonghao's military talents are more and more appreciated by Mao Zedong. In recent years, some articles on the Internet, including some party history publications, all say that Wu Zhonghao participated in the Southern Hunan Uprising, which is something out of thin air. Wu Zhonghao followed Mao Zedong to participate in the autumn harvest uprising and went to Jinggangshan. During the Southern Hunan Uprising, Wu Zhonghao was carrying out a revolutionary struggle in Jinggangshan, so he could not have time to return to Leiyang to participate in the Southern Hunan Uprising.
During the Jinggangshan struggle, Wu Zhonghao took part in commanding large and small battles for nearly a hundred times. He fought bravely and won many victories. 1927165438+10, the uprising troops were surrounded by a division of Shang in Chaling, and just broke through successfully. Wu Zhonghao found that the viceroy and the viceroy of Korea attempted to lead troops to mutiny, and sent people to report in time, which saved this revolutionary army. 1February, 928, Wu Zhonghao led a battalion of troops to liberate Ninggang New Town, annihilated an enemy regiment, captured the county magistrate Zhang Kaiyang alive, and won the first victory of adowa. In June, Wu Zhonghao led the 3rd Battalion to yongxin for a summer tour, divided his troops to do mass work, beat local tyrants and distributed fields, and set up a summer tour government of workers, peasants and soldiers and a central special department. Xia You became a banner of the base area, which provided information for Mao Zedong to write "Yongxin Investigation". At the end of September, the 27th Regiment of Jiangxi Enemy invaded Mao Ping. At that time, the main force of the Red Army went out to fight guerrilla warfare, leaving only the 3rd Battalion and the regimental headquarters. Wu Zhonghao took the tactics of "sending troops by surprise, hurtling and beating, chasing and beating quickly", took the enemy by surprise and fled to the north in panic. Wu Zhonghao's 56-point attack led the 3rd Battalion to recover the whole territory of Corning. Mao Zedong praised Wu Zhonghao for his "ability to fight, do mass work, and be all-rounder" at the meeting of cadres in the base areas. Wu Zhonghao has the vision of a strategist. 1928 12, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized six brigades to "surround" the Jinggangshan base area. 1929 65438+1On October 4th, the former enemy committee of Gongsijun held a meeting in Ninggang Bailu, and decided to adopt the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", leaving Peng's army and the 32nd Regiment of Gongsijun to stick to Jinggangshan, while the 28th Regiment and the 31st Regiment of Gongsijun's two main regiments broke through to jointly develop outward and contain the enemy. However, where to develop the Red Army became the focus of debate at the meeting. Some advocate going to northern Jiangxi, some advocate developing to eastern Jiangxi, and some advocate going to southern Hunan. Wu Zhonghao advocates the development of Gannan, believing that Gannan has a vast territory, many mountains, rich products, easy to raise materials and large room for manoeuvre. Moreover, the enemy forces there are weak, there are local revolutionary armed forces, and the masses are highly conscious. The best policy is to break through Gannan. Zhu De and Mao Zedong adopted Wu Zhonghao's opinion. Later, things developed as Wu Zhonghao expected. The strategy of the Red Fourth Army to encircle Wei and save Zhao failed, and Jinggangshan fell. Because of the choice of Gannan, the main force of the Red Army was established, and the later Central Soviet Area was established. /kloc-in the spring of 0/930, Mao Zedong once said at the Louziling meeting in Ganzhou: "Wu Zhonghao should remember the first class merit when the Red Army developed into Gannan today. He urged him to come to Gannan. "
Wu Zhonghao is also a Confucian general. He graduated from Peking University with a good knowledge of the old school. In his spare time, he likes to write poems, one of which reads: "A man died in battle, but a strong man died in boots." There is no need to bury bones in mulberry fields, and there are green mountains everywhere in the world. " This poem was written in May of 1929, and was born out of a poem written by Mao Zedong in his early years: "My son is determined to go to the countryside, and he will never return until he becomes famous. Bones don't need to be buried, life is everywhere! " Visible Wu Zhonghao deep feelings for Mao Zedong, worship. According to General Jin Yinan, an expert in military history, Yuan Chongquan, battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 28th Regiment, also loved poetry during the Red Army period in Jinggangshan, and often sang with Wu Zhonghao. Wu Zhonghao wrote back that poetry should have a good artistic conception and a sonorous tone. Wu Zhonghao speaks calmly and gently. This is different from Lin Biao's. Lin Biao has his own views on literature, but he has little interest. Besides, Lin Biao doesn't talk much. Others think that he has a lot of airs and is difficult to associate with. Wu Zhonghao is generous and gets along well with others. On one occasion, Wu Zhonghao and Song had a good wine. While drinking, Wu Zhonghao read aloud: "Song, Song, this name is not pleasant to hear. People who don't know you think it's a woman. Let me change your name! Meng Ziyun: The sky will descend to the Sri Lankan people. Let me put it another way: Heaven will be responsible for the poor. Just call Song Renqiong! " This is the origin of Song Renqiong's name. Wu Zhonghao's talent is also reflected in playing chess, and no one in the Red Army can beat him. In Changting, Fujian, there was an old man who was good at playing chess and had a great reputation. Hearing this, Wu Zhonghao sneaked into the old man's house one night and played chess with him. Two people walked five games in a row, lost three games and won two games. Wu Zhonghao, of course, was not convinced. Finally, he pushed down the chess pieces and said that he would fight again in three months. Therefore, Wu Zhonghao was severely criticized by Commander Zhu De. It can be seen that Lei Zi of Wu Zhonghao is overbearing, bold and adventurous.
