Zuo Quan (1905-1942)—— A general who fell early in the Republic of China. Zuo Quan - an outstanding member of the Communist Party of China, an outstanding proletarian revolutionist and strategist, and a famous senior general of our army. On March 15, 1905, Zuo Quan was born into a poor peasant family in Huangmaoling, Pingqiao Township, Liling City, Hunan Province. Zuo Quan started school at the age of 8 and dropped out of school several times. At the age of 17, he was admitted to the county middle school. When he was studying in the county middle school, he participated in the Social Science Research Society under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Through reading progressive books such as "New Youth" and "Guide", he came into contact with Marxism, developed the ambition to transform society, and determined to devote himself to transforming society. . Zuo Quan

In March 1924, Zuo Quan was admitted to the Army Lecture School in Guangzhou sponsored by the Military and Administrative Department of Generalissimo Sun Yat-sen's administration (the main persons in charge were Cheng Qian and Li Minghao). In November of the same year, he was transferred to the Huangpu Army Military Academy. , compiled into the 6th team of the 1st period. In January 1925, he joined the Communist Party of China after being introduced by Chen Geng. From then on, his communist belief "became the criterion for his political life in the next 20 years." Jiang Xianyun, Zhou Yiqun, Xu Jishen, Li Zhilong, Chen Geng and others were all important figures in the Young Soldiers' Federation, and they fought resolutely against the right wing of the "Sun Wenism Society". In February of the same year, Zuo Quan began his military career. During the first Eastern Expedition against Chen Jiongming, he fought bravely and served as the platoon and company commander of the teaching regiment of the Huangpu Military Academy Student Army (Party Army). After returning to Guangzhou in June, Zuo Quan participated in the battle to pacify the Yunnan and Guangxi warlords Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan. In July, he served as company commander of the Guards of Cheng Qian's Hubei Army (later reorganized into the 6th Army of the National Revolutionary Army) and participated in the second Eastern Expedition that completely eliminated Chen Jiongming. In 1925, he was sent to study in the Soviet Union by the party organization, and first studied at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow. In September 1927, he entered the Frunze Military Academy for further study. Zuo Quan studied hard and was good at thinking. "So in military and political examinations, I can often quote from others to explain my purpose." In June 1930, Zuo Quan returned to Shanghai and entered the Western Fujian Soviet Area through Xiamen and Longyan in September. He first served as the education director of the 1st branch of the Red Army Military Academy. In November, he was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Western Fujian Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Committee. In early December, he was appointed as the commander of the 12th Red Army. At the beginning of 1931, he was appointed as the operational staff officer of the 1st Red Front Army Headquarters. In June, he was promoted to the chief of staff department and began to show his strong organizational skills. In December, he was dispatched by the Central Military Commission to Gucunwei near Ningdu, where he collaborated with Wang Jiaxiang and Liu Bojian to engage in liaison and command work for the Kuomintang's 26th Route Army uprising. Later, he served as the political commissar of the 15th Army of the 5th Army Corps of the Red Army (adapted from the Ningdu Uprising Force). Soon, he was appointed as Army Commander and Political Commissar. In June 1932, persecuted by Wang Ming's leftist line, Zuo Quan was dismissed from his position as army commander and political commissar and transferred to the Red Army School as an instructor. In December 1933, he was appointed chief of staff of the 1st Red Army Corps. At this time, the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" war in the Central Soviet Area had begun. The fighting was frequent and extremely difficult. Even if he didn't sleep for several days and nights, he never "showed any signs of fatigue, neglect, laissez-faire or irritability." In October 1934, the main force of the Central Red Army began the Long March, and Zuo Quan commanded the battle with the vanguard. When attacking the city of Shi Bing in Guizhou, he took the lead, commanded decisively and acted quickly, ensuring the smooth passage of the large army. In May, during the battle to forcibly cross the Dadu River, Zuo Quan led his troops to move lightly and quickly on the rugged path, unexpectedly took the Xiaoxiangling Pass, and captured Yuexi County. After a day's rush of 140 miles to cross the Shaijing Pass, he led his troops to capture the Dashubao Ferry, diverted the enemy's attention to the direction of Anshunchang by pretending to cross, and successfully covered the Red 1st Division's crossing of the Dadu River from Anshunchang. . In the end, all the main forces of the Central Red Army passed through Luding Bridge and got rid of the chasing Kuomintang Central Army. Zuo Quan

In October 1936, the three main forces of the Red Army successfully joined forces. In mid-November, at Mountain Castle, Zuo Quan and Nie Rongzhen commanded the 1st Red Army Corps and part of the 15th Red Army Corps to complete the encirclement of Hu Zongnan's 78th Division. The general offensive was launched on the 21st. After a day and night of fierce fighting, 2 enemy regiments were wiped out. Hu's other divisions were also defeated by the Red Army brothers. In the mountain castle battle, more than 15,000 enemy troops were killed and captured, shattering the Kuomintang army's control of the Soviet area. The invasion stabilized the situation in northern Shaanxi. Liu Bocheng said: "Comrade Zuo Quan's deployment of operations is meticulous and thorough. The battle at the mountain castle in northern Shaanxi on the eve of the Double Twelve Incident in 1936 is an example." After the "July 7th Incident", the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

Zuo Quan was appointed deputy chief of staff. In December 1938, he was appointed chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army's forward headquarters. In February 1938, 40,000 Japanese troops attacked Linfen in three groups and encountered the Eighth Route Army headquarters. Under the command of Zuo Quan, they persisted in fighting until the follow-up troops arrived and repelled many Japanese charges. This bought them three days and nights to safely transfer people from dozens of villages, allowing the Kuomintang to gain ground in Linfen and Hongdong. The military and political agencies retreated smoothly, and most of the Eighth Route Army's military supplies in Linfen were transferred out. Two months later, more than 30,000 Japanese troops launched a 9-way siege in the southeastern Shanxi area. Based on the weakness of the Japanese army's dispersed forces and the deployment of the headquarters, Zuo Quan used guerrilla warfare to contain, harass and attack the enemy on the inside, and moved the main force to the outside to look for fighter planes to annihilate the enemy. On April 15, Wuxiang County was finally recovered. On the 16th, pocket formations were set up in Changle Village in Wuxiang County, and more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out. This was the "Battle of Changle". Subsequently, he led his troops to annihilate more than 1,000 enemies in Zhangdian, regained 18 counties including Liao County and Licheng, liberated more than one million people, completely smashed the 9-way siege of the Japanese army, and laid the foundation for the Shanxi, Hebei, and Shandong Henan base areas. . From the end of 1939 to the beginning of 1940, Chiang Kai-shek launched the first anti-Japanese upsurge. Zhu Huaibing, commander of the 97th Army of the Kuomintang, gathered together with Lu Zhonglin and Shi You from the Hebei-Cha War Zone. With the cooperation of the Japanese army, they stormed the Taihang Anti-Japanese Base Area. In early March, Zuo Quan, who was also the commander of the 2nd Column of the Eighth Route Army, commanded the troops to launch a self-defense counterattack on the east and west sides of Pinghan Road. After four days and four nights of fierce fighting, he defeated the attack of Shi Yousan's invading army and annihilated 10 troops including Zhu Huaibing. regiment and preserved the Taihang Anti-Japanese Base Area. From August 20 to December 5, 1940, the Eighth Route Army launched the famous Hundred Regiments Campaign. The general command post of this battle was located in Wangjiayu Village, Wuxiang County. Zuo Quan assisted Peng Dehuai in fully engaging in combat command and arranged the entire deployment of the campaign in an orderly manner. He was really well-planned and won the battle thousands of miles away. Even the newspaper of the Japanese army in Peiping said, "The dispatch of the Chinese army this time was really well organized." Zuo Quan not only planned the organization and staff work of the entire campaign, but also went to the front line to command the operations. In the third stage of the Hundred Regiments War, he assisted Peng Dehuai in commanding the Guanjianao Battle brilliantly. At the most critical moment, he ordered: "All comrades in the command post will move forward. Hesitation equals death!" Zuo Quan's courage and courage greatly boosted the morale of the command post. As a result, more than 500 people from the Okazaki Brigade of the Japanese 36th Division, Except for more than 60 people, the rest were wiped out. Zuo Quan has a rigorous and realistic work style. Before accomplishing a major event, he pays special attention to investigation and research and masters first-hand materials. In order to build the Huangyadong arsenal (at the junction of Liao County and Licheng), he surveyed the terrain on the spot, personally planned the layout of the factory and the configuration of military facilities to protect the factory. After one year of construction, the annual output of the arsenal was enough to equip 16 regiments. The arsenal was established. This has improved the current situation of the Eighth Route Army's lack of equipment to a certain extent. Liu Bocheng once said: "Comrade Zuo Quan once worked hard to operate the weapons manufacturing facilities in Taihang Mountain, which played a considerable role. The establishment of Huangyadong Arsenal soon became a key offensive target of the Japanese army. In November 1941, the Japanese 36th Division and More than 7,000 people from each independent mixed brigade attacked Huangya Cave. The Eighth Route Army Headquarters Secret Service Group was responsible for defending Huangya Cave. Zuo Quan asked the regiment to "grasp the word 'stable' and insist on not being arrogant or arrogant during the defense battle." The principles of "being impatient, not panicking, not fearful, using defense as an offense, and using silence as a brake". He also made specific arrangements on the tactical principles and other relevant matters that should be paid attention to. The battle started in the early morning of the 11th. The Japanese army was approaching with great force. The defenders followed the instructions of Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan and held their position tenaciously. They took advantage of the opportunity to organize counterattacks and repelled many Japanese attacks. After successive failures, the Japanese army changed their strategy and attempted to use the cliff on the east side of Chiyu Mountain. , flanked the defending positions from a high position. Zuo Quan promptly instructed the special agent group to "stand by for action and adapt to changes", repositioned the defensive forces, and continued to inflict heavy casualties on the attacking Japanese troops, which greatly consumed their effective forces and dampened the enemy's vigor. 19 On the same day, the battle to defend Huangyadong came to an end. The Eighth Route Army set up ambushes in the areas of Sanmu and Caozhuang. When the retreating Japanese troops entered the ambush circle, they were immediately thrown into chaos by a dense rain of bullets and suffered heavy casualties. They headed towards Licheng. Fleeing. On the 21st, the Eighth Route Army, which was pursuing victory, recaptured Licheng and successfully ended the Huangyadong defense battle. The Japanese and puppet troops lost more than 2,000 people in this battle. The ratio of enemy casualties to us was 6:1. The Central Military Commission believed that this defense battle was " The most successful one, not only did I suffer less losses, but also caused several times the damage to the enemy. It should be regarded as a model battle against 'mopping up' since 1941." Zuo Quan commanded many battles to victory, which reflected his superb military literacy and military skills. With theoretical foundation, he has won people's respect for his hard work and proficiency in research. He has read many books on political theory and military theory and made outstanding contributions to the military construction and military theory construction of the Eighth Route Army. "Infantry Combat Orders of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", co-translated with Liu Bocheng, was listed as a basic textbook for infantry tactics education by the 18th Group Army Headquarters in 1942, and required that "in the future, our army's research on modern infantry tactics should be based on this based on".

Zuo Quan's research on tactical issues, especially guerrilla tactics, is quite innovative. He is "one of the famous founders of guerrilla tactics in China". The outstanding feature of his military writings is that he integrates theory with practice and expounds the Marxist theory based on the particularity of China's national conditions. It is a military ideological principle with the characteristics of China's revolutionary war guided by it. In the construction of the Eighth Route Army, he made unique contributions and made great achievements in headquarters work, logistics work, troop training, military political work, military-civilian relations, etc. Zuo Quan was good at thinking and diligent in writing, and wrote and translated many influential military works. In just five years behind enemy lines in North China, he translated more than 200,000 Chinese words. Zhou Enlai said that Zuo Quan was "a military strategist with both theoretical training and practical experience." Zuo Quan

In May 1942, the Japanese army gathered 30,000 troops and once again launched an unprecedented and cruel "mopping up" campaign against the Taihang Anti-Japanese Base Area. The situation was unprecedentedly severe. At midnight on the 20th, Zuo Quan analyzed the situation between the enemy and ourselves at the pre-war deployment meeting. In the face of the heavy multi-pronged attack by the Japanese army, our main forces have now moved out of the outer lines, and the Central Northern Bureau of the Communist Party of China, the Eighth Route Army General Headquarters, the Field Political Department, the Supply Department, the Health Department, the Ordnance Department, the Military Industry Department, and the Xinhua The daily newspaper and others are still within the enemy's attack circle. What is heading straight towards us now is a Japanese and puppet army of about 3,000 people coming from Shexian, Licheng and Qijiguan. Facing the heavy Japanese and puppet troops, the Eighth Route Army in the joint attack circle has very few troops that can respond to the enemy. There are only a few guard troops. What awaits them will be an extremely cruel battle. However, Zuo Quan reminds everyone: From a local perspective, we are surrounded by enemy forces; but from a global perspective, the enemy is surrounded by our army and people. He said to Tang Wancheng, the commander of the headquarters' security company responsible for the main cover task: "Eighty percent of your company are Communist Party members, and more than 90% are veteran Red Army soldiers. I believe you will be able to complete this mission." Tell your comrades: Never waver even when the Taihang Mountains are at the top!" In view of the huge disparity between the enemy's and our own forces, Peng Dehuai, Zuo Quan and others held meetings for several days to study countermeasures. Zuo Quan proposed: When the enemy forces split up and attack together, take the opportunity to get out of the attack circle. When the Japanese army retreats from the air, wait for the opportunity to concentrate forces to annihilate one or more of them. After all deployments were completed, all departments of the Eighth Route Army headquarters were ordered to move on May 23. In the early morning of the next day, fierce battles broke out at Hutoushan, Qianyangpo, Junzhai and other positions guarded by the headquarters security company that was covering the retreat. During this "mopping up", the "Special Advance Killing Team" specially formed by the Japanese army (whose members were all in civilian clothes and sneaked into the base area before the Japanese "mopping up" troops) discovered the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Ma Tian, ??so many Japanese troops attacked Ma Tian. The direction is rapid. There were only more than 200 people in the guard company, which stubbornly resisted the attacks of more than 2,000 days of puppet troops. After the enemy failed to attack many times, they fired signal flares, called in more reinforcements, and fired more intense firepower at the defenders' positions. The Japanese army's overwhelming artillery fire shook the front line of Hutou Mountain, and the infantry followed the smoke and dust that covered the sky and pushed straight towards the Eighth Route Army position. In order to ensure the safe transfer of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Zuo Quan stood on the hilltop behind Hutou Mountain and commanded the battle calmly, regardless of the air waves caused by the continuous explosion of artillery shells around him. He was not only thinking about the safety of various departments in the headquarters, but also the safety of the masses. When he saw that there were still people in the nearby mountains who were not out of danger, he ordered the guard company commander Tang Wancheng to use some of his already very tight troops to attract the enemy troops so that the people could move. Until the arrangements were made, Zuo Quan walked down the mountain calmly. On the morning of May 25, the breakout team was still not out of danger. In the ravines along the Nanaipu and Gaojiapo lines, thousands of people from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, Northern Bureau, Party School, and Xinhua News Agency were gathered, surrounded by fierce gunfire. With the sound of artillery, the encirclement formed by the Japanese and puppet troops using "vertical and horizontal attack" tactics was tightening step by step. In the sky, Japanese aircraft dropped bombs and strafed from time to time. Frightened mules ran and jumped wildly, squeezing the dense breakout team into the narrow ravine. Seeing that the order was in chaos, Zuo Quan ignored the threat of Japanese aircraft, jumped on a black mule, ran forward and backward to regroup the chaotic team, and accelerated the march. While commanding the breakout, Zuo Quan observed the changes in the battlefield situation. Based on the repeated bombing and strafing by Japanese aircraft and the intensive sound of gunfire from a thousand meters away, Zuo Quan judged that the Japanese and puppet troops, who had a huge advantage in strength, had discovered the encirclement target and must as soon as possible Take decisive measures to break out of the encirclement. Zuo Quan led the headquarters and Northern Bureau personnel to form the 1st column, breaking out from south to north along the east of the Qingzhang River; Luo Ruiqing led the team directly under the Field Political Department and the Party School and Xinhua Daily to form the 2nd column, which was covered by the political guard company to the east. Breakout; the logistics department was the 3rd column, led by Yang Lisan, and broke out of the encirclement towards the northeast corner. The Japanese and puppet troops discovered the Eighth Route Army's intention to separate and break out of the encirclement, quickly closed the encirclement circle, and smashed clusters of artillery shells into the dense crowd, causing great confusion and panic to the people who broke out of the encirclement. Faced with this extremely dangerous situation, Zuo Quan, while boosting morale, quickly urged Peng Dehuai to move as soon as possible. He said: "Your transfer is of great importance. As long as you break through the encirclement safely, the headquarters can be saved." Peng Dehuai paid attention to the large number of comrades and comrades who were still surrounded by the encirclement. He sat on the tall horse and did not move. Zuo Quan became anxious and ordered Tang Wancheng in a tough tone: "Push me, men and horses!" Peng Dehuai was moved, waved his whip, and galloped northwestward under the cover of the guards.

After watching Peng Dehuai leave, Zuo Quan rushed to the team directly under the headquarters and continued to direct the breakout operation of the large group of troops. His body was very weak at this time, but he still tried his best to greet everyone. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, at Gaojiapo, Cross Ridge, taking advantage of a short break, Zuo Quan used his hoarse voice to encourage the extremely tired team: "Comrades, although the enemy situation is serious, don't panic. If we want to win, we must charge together." We must obey the command when we rush together. As long as we rush through the front blockade, we will be safe. "Although the breakout situation is becoming more and more serious, Zuo Quan still requires the guard soldiers to "guard the secrets of the headquarters, protect the radio station, protect confidential materials, and protect confidential personnel." ! "And immediately took measures to disperse the staff and guards around them to the radio station and confidential personnel. After Zuo Quan finished explaining the above tasks, he suddenly felt someone pulling his arm. When he saw it was Tang Wancheng, he was surprised. Didn't he just arrange for the guard company commander to protect Mr. Peng from breaking out? Why did the young man come back again? When Tang Wancheng told him, "Mr. Peng has crossed the blockade, now come with me!" Zuo Quan refused and firmly ordered Tang Wancheng to catch up with Mr. Peng quickly. In his opinion, President Peng's safety is far more important than his own. This involves the honor of the Eighth Route Army! Now my duty is to command the breakout. Seeing General Zuo Quan, the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, dragging his weak body and running under artillery fire like an ordinary soldier, Tang Wancheng couldn't bear it. He stubbornly held the commander's arm tightly and wouldn't let go. Zuo Quan was so angry that he pulled out his revolver and ordered: "You have to understand that if Mr. Peng does anything wrong, I will shoot you!" Tang Wancheng had no choice but to let go of his hand, turned around and rushed in the direction of Mr. Peng's breakout. The sun was setting in the west, but the Japanese artillery fire was still fierce. Zuo Quan calmly directed the team to continue breaking out. He climbed to a high ground. Although his voice became hoarse, he still shouted over and over again: "Don't hide. Breaking out of the mountain pass is victory. Comrades, rush forward!" Everyone saw that The chief of general staff was beside him and commanded, and his mood quickly stabilized, and the breakout speed accelerated. Monument to General Zuo Quan

When the team rushed towards the enemy's last blockade, the enemy's firepower became even more fierce. Suddenly, a shell fell next to Zuo Quan. Regardless of the danger, he shouted for everyone to lie down. Then the second shell came one after another, and Zuo Quan was hit by shrapnel in his head, chest, and abdomen. In this way, a talented, wise and courageous senior general of the Eighth Route Army lost his young and precious life prematurely in order to save the nation from danger. After the death of General Zuo Quan, the Eighth Route Army soldiers took advantage of the gap between the Japanese withdrawal and returned to Cross Ridge. Zuo Quan's body was buried on the spot. Unexpectedly, after receiving the news that Zuo Quan was dead, the Japanese army counterattacked and dug everywhere on the Cross Ridge, and finally found the general's body. The Japanese army took a picture of General Zuo Quan's body and published it in the newspapers to exaggerate it. On May 25, 1942, General Zuo Quan died heroically for his country. Zhou Enlai pointed out: "Zuo Quan's heroic sacrifice was an irreparable loss to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War." Zhu De wrote a poem to commemorate: "The famous general died for his country, and he is willing to defend Wuhua with his blood. The Taihang majesty will be passed down through the ages, and the blood-vomiting flowers will be left in Qingzhang." In order to commemorate General Zuo Quan, at the request of the people of Taihang, through the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region Government With the approval, on September 18, 1942, more than 5,000 people including the party, government, military and civilians of Liao County held a ceremony to change the name of Liao County. From then on, Liao County was renamed Zuoquan County.
