Historical details of Mao Zedong's leading the student army to "defeat" 3,000 troops in Fair Boys and Girls.

From Staff Sergeant to Company Commander —— The true story of Mao Zedong commanding the student army to outsmart Beiyang Army at 08: 55 on June 3rd, 2007. Mao Zedong studied in Hunan First Division, a two-story small courtyard left by foreign colonists in Changsha. Located in the traffic fortress, close to Xiangjiang River and Yuehan Railway, it is easier to be used as a barracks by warlords. During my five-year study in Mao Zedong, the First Division suffered from repeated military disasters and was ravaged by Beiyang warlords for three times.

To this end, the school has added "military exercises", that is, military training for students. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of security work, "student volunteers" were organized after class (about 1/4 students signed up). Mao Zedong is one of the first students to sign up for student volunteers. Besides, Mao Zedong enjoys high prestige among teachers and students. He was elected as the general manager of the "Student Union" before, so naturally he was re-elected as the company commander of the "Student Volunteer Army" by the students (the soldier-style drill coach is the battalion commander, and the battalion is divided into company, platoon and class). Under the encouragement and leadership of Mao Zedong, the students practiced hard and their training enthusiasm was very high. ...

In October, the army of Tan, a warlord in Guangxi, defeated the army of Fu, the governor of Hunan. Suddenly, he reported that Fu had led the defeated troops in the city and fled in a hurry. At that time, Tan Jun's main force was still in Hengshan and Xiangxiang, and he could not reach Changsha immediately. Therefore, Jun Fu's escape suddenly turned Changsha into an anarchic world. The war was turbulent and the citizens were terrified. In the middle of the year, the war approached Changsha, and the rumble of guns came from time to time, and Fu Jun was defeated everywhere. At that time, rumors about the war began to rise, which made people panic. ...

Hunan First Division is located in the southern suburbs of Changsha, which is the only way to retreat northward. In order to avoid the collapse of the army, the seizure of houses, looting and injury to students, the school decided that all teachers and students would temporarily take refuge in Amilin, five miles east of the city for a period of time. After learning the news, Mao Zedong rushed to the principal's office and earnestly hoped that the principal would not "abandon the school". Mao Zedong said: It's too bad to go out and take shelter because of the war outside. Once the school is empty, the mutinous soldiers will invade and rob. Therefore, "it is better to leave school than to protect the school." Only by using the advantages of high school walls and deep houses, coupled with student escorts, "can we protect ourselves and the school." After careful consideration, the school decided to adopt Mao Zedong's opinion.

Therefore, Mao Zedong, praised by teachers and students as "resourceful and brave", assisted the school and led the "student volunteers" of the school to immediately devote themselves to the intense "caring for the school" action. ...

First of all, Mao Zedong organized and recruited all the top sports athletes in the school and entrusted them with the important task of taking the lead in protecting the school. Then, he called on the students to move the desks and chairs out of the classroom, block all the school gates leading to the outside world, and build barriers in the yard to prepare for the battle. At the same time, he also used the old method of Hunan Farmers' Sanatorium to lead students to cut bamboo slices into very sharp points and insert them on the campus wall, and arranged for students to stand guard at various passages with guns, "patrolling day and night, with strict security." The weapons in the hands of these students are just ordinary farm tools and wooden guns and sticks used in exercises.

Two days later, some scattered routed troops began to enter the city and wander the streets of Changsha. However, when they passed in front of the first division, they saw that the gate was closed and there was a magnificent "student army" patrolling, so they dared not invade and harass. Knowing this, Mao Zedong decided that these frontline troops were defeated, and he didn't know the actual situation in Changsha at present, so he didn't dare to rush around. At the same time, Mao Zedong has also found out the situation. Nearly 4,000 defeated soldiers are wandering around the Monkey Stone several miles south of the school, grabbing food from nearby farmers. The news immediately put all the teachers and students into a panic.

Mao Zedong decided to disguise himself and go to the vicinity of Monkey Stone to find out the truth. After he came back, according to the information he found, these defeated soldiers were frightened and tired. They knew that Fu had led the troops and fled, but they didn't know that they had not yet entered the city, just like a frightened bird. Once they know that Changsha is just an "empty city", they will boldly break in, rape and plunder, and do whatever they want, and Changsha citizens and the campus of the First Division will be devastated. Therefore, Mao Zedong believes that we must try to drive away the defeated soldiers when they are still in shock, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, Mao Zedong urgently suggested to the school: "Take the initiative to attack" and organize student volunteers to intercept the defeated troops. Instead of taking great risks, they should also hand over their weapons and drive away this defeated army to ensure the absolute safety of Changsha City and the school.

This is a bold and risky idea! The idea has been unanimously supported and embraced by the school and all teachers and students.

After careful planning, Mao Zedong's idea soon began to be implemented. ...

Mao Zedong first organized a volunteer army composed of more than 100 strong and brave students to prepare for the departure. It also briefly explained the "operational intention", that is, the soldiers sneaked out of the school gate in three ways with homemade wooden guns and other "weapons", and quietly ambushed several hills near Monkey Stone, forming a siege of the defeated troops. Then, he took the official letter from the school and went to the Southern District Police Station to ask them to send reinforcements.

After dinner, more than 0/00 student volunteers from the First Normal University/KLOC all put on their uniforms during daily drills and gathered neatly on the playground with more than 20 "borrowed" policemen armed with live ammunition. The moonlit night is hazy, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. From a distance, it really looks like a fully armed regular army.

Mao Zedong is standing in the middle of the playground. After a brief battle mobilization, he ordered the team to move forward separately according to the predetermined plan and deployment. ...

Mao Zedong is advancing an Southern Army, which is going down from Miaofeng South, across the railway and circuitous to the northern defeated army, ready to stop its approach. The other two roads are the back road and the east road, while the police guard the commanding height behind the school-Miaofengfeng. Along the way, some farmers and workers' night school students, armed with farm tools, sticks, gongs and drums, joined the team one after another.

Dead of night. Teams from all walks of life have "taken their positions". At this moment, I suddenly found that on the Guangdong-Han railway parallel to Xiangjiang River, the faint defeated soldiers were like a big black snake, crawling to the north in fear. When the routed troops entered the latent areas such as students and police not far away, Mao Zedong immediately ordered the police ambushing on the mountain to fire three shots. At the moment, I see lanterns with the words "Gui", "Xiang" and "Yue" lit together. Lights are everywhere. Later, Mao Zedong asked the police to set off a row of guns, while the rest of the students with wooden guns set off firecrackers in foreign oil drums. In the distance, bugles are ringing and gongs and drums are loud. A "fierce battle" began like this.

After a while, he ordered to stop shooting and asked several students to shout repeatedly in Guilin dialect: "Fu escaped and went to town! ..... You are surrounded, surrender! ..... As long as you lay down your weapon, I will let you go home! ……"

Gui Jun routed troops were drowned by the sudden gunfire, gongs and drums, shouts, and suddenly it was a mess. I dare not act rashly because I don't know the actual situation in the city. Mao Zedong understood the routed mentality and tried to send representatives to negotiate. Soon, I saw a white shirt in the defeated army and expressed my willingness to surrender and disarm.

Mao Zedong sent someone to take them to the front of the first division, ordered them to lay down their weapons, and then told them to take ten steps back. More than 3000 people actually carried out the order. The teachers and students of the whole school were surprised and happy after seeing it. That night, after arranging the accommodation for the defeated army, the teachers and students of the first division rushed out to clean up the guns together. They carried, carried, carried all the seized weapons into the school and piled up an auditorium.

At dawn the next day, Mao Zedong and others raised the funds needed to demobilize the routed troops from Changsha Chamber of Commerce. Because the chamber of commerce was afraid that staying in the army for a long time might harm its interests, it donated a large sum of money very willingly.

Mao Zedong gave each defeated soldier five to seven yuan, personally put them on the train bound for Wuhan, and thus disbanded the team without bloodshed.

The school was saved, and Changsha was spared a mutiny disaster. In recognition of Mao Zedong Superman's courage and extraordinary organization and command ability, Kong Zhaoshou promoted him to company commander. Mao Zedong was resourceful and fearless. He didn't hurt anyone. He led a group of "scholars" to pay dozens of times their own "samurai" guns, which is a miracle in the history of Chinese and foreign wars! Afterwards, teachers, students and even Changsha police all expressed deep appreciation for Mao Zedong's courage and adaptability, who was only 24 years old, calling him "courageous"! And gave him a nickname called "Mao Qi".

In fact, courage and ingenuity go hand in hand. Mao Zedong is by no means a soldier. At that time, his classmate Zou Yunzhen once asked him: "If the defeated army shot back at that time, wouldn't it be dangerous?" Mao Zedong didn't even think about it, so he replied righteously at once: "If the defeated army intends to seize the city, then start it that night. Otherwise, I will be exhausted and timid, afraid to go back to the north through Changsha Chengguan, so I have to be idle, so I know that someone will follow me at any time, and the situation is natural. " Words are full of confidence.

Many years later, Mao Zedong talked about it when chatting with friends, and said with a smile, I'm afraid it's really the first time to engage in military affairs! However, it was the "first" military action in his life that fully demonstrated his extraordinary "talent" as a great commander in chief in the future!

Mao Zedong himself was very satisfied with this military action. He felt that he had not only been trained and tested in actual combat, but also tasted the comfort of commanding soldiers, galloping freely and acting freely after strategizing, which made him have a preliminary interest in the art of war. After a long time, Mao Zedong also mentioned in the chat that he was "engaged in military affairs, which was the first time"!

After this experience, in 19 18, when the northern and southern warlords fought again, Zhang troops invaded Changsha, and Kong Zhaoshou once again authorized the organization of the "guard" and served as the team leader, responsible for guarding the school. In April this year, the war in eastern Hunan was still very tense, and Changsha was so jittery that residents even dared not sleep. Mao Zedong led the guards to patrol day and night, guarding the school closely, so that the school can still attend classes as usual. In order to commemorate this event, Kong Zhaoshou specially took a photo as a souvenir and wrote an inscription on this photo: "During the last period of May Day, the staff and students of our school kept singing string songs, and I hardly knew that there was a disaster in the army." This precious historical photo, as a witness of Mao Zedong leading student volunteers to defend the school, is still displayed in the "Comrade Mao Zedong Memorial Hall of Hunan First Normal University".
