In the war of liberation, the highest general of our army died. Why was the hero's death kept secret 13 years?

Xie, who was eager to wear a military uniform when he was young, went forward bravely and dared to fight after taking part in the revolutionary cause. Later, he was appointed as the commander during the War of Liberation.

But it is such a positive general of our army that his heroic sacrifice should obviously be praised and admired. Why did our organization keep the news of such a hero's death strictly confidential after his death 13 years?

Early experience Xie made positive progress long ago and wanted to join the revolutionary organization. That year, he joined the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants for the first time. After one year, I soon joined the China * * * Production Party in the second year.

Xie, who is eager for progress, naturally attaches great importance to the revolutionary cause. He dares to fight and fight, goes forward bravely and never flinches.

In battle, injuries are inevitable. In a battle, Xie was shot in the leg by a bullet, and the injury was very serious. With such a heavy injury, medical conditions can't keep up. Xie's leg injury deteriorated rapidly, and the injured part even began to infect and fester. Such an injury will definitely pose a threat to life for a long time.

From the organizational point of view, Xie's life could not be saved without amputation, so he decided to amputate Xie after careful consideration. Xie felt very painful about such a decision, so he had to ask the commander.

He said that as a soldier, if I lose my legs, it must be equivalent to losing the battlefield. I regard the battlefield as my life and can't lose my legs. The members of the medical team were moved by Xie's sincerity and tried their best to save his legs. Xie finally recovered and returned to the battlefield.

After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the situation was very grim. The domestic situation is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will pay the price of your life. Under such unfavorable environmental background, he took part in the work nervously while cultivating new students.

Xie is brave and resourceful, with leadership and necessary sense of responsibility.

In the face of the "sweeping" of Japanese camouflage troops, Xie behaved calmly; While it's already late, the action won't be too eye-catching; Organize students to make an orderly breakthrough.

However, due to the large number of people, one of the girls went in the wrong direction in panic and was arrested by the Japanese camouflage army. He didn't give up the girl, so he took the initiative and personally led the guards to snatch the girl back from the enemy.

Thanks to his outstanding leadership and strong sense of responsibility, Xie was appointed as the commander of several different military regions during the War of Liberation.

When Central China Field Army 10 column served as commander. Shortly after the establishment of the 10 column, the position of the 10 column faced the wanton attack of the Kuomintang army.

And Xie's bravery is well deserved. Facing the wanton attack of the Kuomintang army, Xie, as the commander of the column, discussed with relevant organizations in time and determined the battle plan.

As a senior instructor and the main force of the team, Xie led the newly established 10 column to fight. The enemy attacked fiercely, and all members of the 10 column tried their best to fight bloody battles. 10 column, with the cooperation of other troops of our army, bravely killed the enemy, not afraid of the enemy, and finally killed as many as 50 thousand people in coordination, which not only shattered the enemy's strategic plot, but also caused heavy losses to the local army and achieved remarkable results.

In the same year 10, it was the "Lianshui Defence War" in the history of China War. Xie once again led the 10 column to meet the attack of the Kuomintang army. Because Chiang Kai-shek was hard to accept and unwilling to fail, the Kuomintang sent the most elite troops this time. The elite troops were divided into three roads and gradually attacked the military forces in Lianshui area of our army. With the cooperation of other troops of our army, Xie led the soldiers of the tenth column, as the main force of this battle, and used the terrain advantage to defend the Lianshui army.

After the Lianshui War began, Xie personally went to the frontline battlefield command post to inspect the enemy's situation.

Unexpectedly, it was in this inspection of local troops that he died heroically: when he stepped out of the gate of the command post and picked up the telescope, he was about to observe the enemy situation on the other side of the river, and he was just found by the enemy sniper and was hit in the abdomen on the spot. Xie, who was seriously injured, was not treated in time and died heroically under the continuous attack of the enemy and the medical environment where conditions and facilities could not keep up.

Before he died, Xie left his last words: Be sure to hold your ground!

Later, our army won the final victory in the defense of Lianshui, but Xie's sacrifice was a great loss to the organization.

It takes a long time and is difficult for our army to train a column commander. Unfortunately, such an excellent column commander was finally trained, and such a rare talent died heroically.

However, mourning for the outstanding generals who died in the war is undoubtedly a foolish act, which will distract the attention of the army and shake its fighting will. The instability of the army will also greatly affect its combat effectiveness. At the same time, considering the death of our important general, it greatly encouraged the enemy.

Therefore, the soldiers of the 10 column endured grief and buried the body of Commander Xie in the Banqiao area near Lianshui. After the Lianshui War, all relevant newspapers and periodicals should be strictly confidential and not report the heroic sacrifice of Commander Xie.

It can be said that during the whole liberation war, the news of Commander Xie's sacrifice was kept strictly confidential by the relevant personnel.

People who know this matter are told by the organization to keep this matter firmly confidential and strictly guard against sticking to the relevant news. So that the Kuomintang did not know that their soldiers killed one of our senior leaders and column commanders with snipers during this period. In this way, the enemy can't take this opportunity to suppress our soldiers and completely achieve the goal of not encouraging the other side's forces in wartime.

For the sake of the overall situation, the organization had to conceal the news of Commander Xie's sacrifice, which should have been reburied. 13 years later, a grand memorial service was held for Xie.

With Xie's character and qualifications, if Xie hadn't died at the observation post or been shot, he could have survived, recovered and returned to the battlefield. Then his rank may be at least general. Therefore, in our hearts, Commander Xie is an admirable generation of generals and deserves any flowers and praise.

Our happy life today cannot be separated from these great soldiers who died heroically. We should always remember that the blood of our predecessors has made us happy today!
