Chapter 160 Why the winner is Qin Jiwei

In Shangganling, Qin Jiwei became famous in the first battle. After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Qin Jiwei successively served as deputy commander and commander of the Kunming Military Region, commander of the Chengdu Military Region, commander of the Beijing Military Region, and Minister of National Defense. He was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955 and the rank of general in 1988. Why did Qin Jiwei play so well?This has a lot to do with the general's character and legendary experience. Qin Jiwei, a native of Qinluozhuang, Qiliping Town, Hongan County, Hubei Province.

Hong'an County is the so-called General County of China. Born in 1914, he has an active nature, strong curiosity, unrestrained, free and unrestrained, and can make trouble.When I was in school, I always looked for opportunities to play truant, slipped to the hillside, played with my friends who were herding cattle, or went to the small river ditch in front of Wanzi Gate to catch fish and shrimp, and only pretended to go home when school was almost over.When the teacher found out, he punished him to kneel down, or hit his palm with a ruler.But the more he was beaten, the more he was punished, and Qin Jiwei became more reluctant to go to school.In less than a year, he dropped out of school and returned home to farm.

He is an extremely smart person who can always think critically and turn bad things into good things.He said: "Because I failed to persist in going to school when I was young, I have made great efforts in learning culture in the following decades of my career." Didn't study much, just make up in practice. This is Qin Jiwei. Qin Jiwei has a great mind and dexterity, and any new gadget can quickly become a treasure in his hands. Qin Jiwei was 19 years old and became the head of the regiment.Now 19 years old, what can you do?Adults also take them to high school and college.Next, let's see what Qin Jiwei did.

In the autumn of 1933, the headquarters of the Pistol Regiment of the Red Fourth Front Army in the Sichuan-Shaanxi Base Area.A soldier suddenly came to Qin Jiwei and handed him something the size of a grenade, which was black, bare, with two curved ends, and a line attached to the back. Qin Jiwei had never seen this rare thing before, and stood there motionless. Soldier: "Captain Qin, put it to your ear." Qin Jiwei placed it next to his ear in doubt.This release startled him a lot.There was a human voice in this guy. The soldier hurriedly said: "Commander, don't get angry, this is a newly installed phone, Minister Zheng wants to talk to you!"

Qin Jiwei was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of the phone, let alone seen it, and timidly put the phone to his ear.Minister Zheng Yizhai of the Supply Department talked to him inside. Putting down the phone, Qin Jiwei couldn't understand for a long time, how could he talk without seeing each other!No, you can't just believe what this thing says.So he ordered the guards to prepare their horses and hurried to the headquarters 30 miles away. When Minister Zheng saw Qin Jiwei, he asked in surprise: "Hey, why are you here again? Didn't you be asked to perform a mission?"

Qin Jiwei replied: "I can't believe that thing, I have to listen to you face to face." Minister Zheng laughed so hard that he shed tears. The minister told Qin Jiwei: "In the future, most orders and reports will be made by phone. You have to get used to it!" This joke made a big impact on Qin Jiwei, who is good at summarizing. He thought: If you don’t learn new things, you can’t do it.It is a small matter to make a joke, but it is a big matter to delay the fighter.From then on, he developed the habit of continuous learning and being good at learning new things. During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the commander of the first division of Taihang.

On one occasion, his men captured a mortar.Qin Jiwei fell in love with this small steel cannon, and usually enjoys holding this mortar. This division commander has become a gunner. Once, when the Japanese army entered the ambush circle, Commander Qin actually operated the knife himself, held the mortar, aimed, and fired. "Boom", six or seven Japanese devils were blown into the sky. The commander played with mortars, and his subordinates played with machine guns, and his subordinates also developed a hobby of playing with weapons. At the same time, the subordinates also felt that fighting with Commander Qin, even if the bayonet was poked in the buttocks, they didn't panic, it was easy, like an exercise, and there was no psychological pressure.

After the founding of New China, an old comrade-in-arms who worked with Qin Jiwei said: "Qin Jiwei loves to play. When he was in the Red Army, he played with his life. When he was a detachment leader, he liked to play with mortars. Cars, playing radio when I was an army commander, playing Katyusha on Shangganling.” It is precisely because Qin Jiwei is good at learning and delving into things that he often has a way when things happen. On the Korean battlefield, he specially arranged for the 15th Army and compiled a "reference message".Of course, this "reference news" is not the current "reference news".This "reference news" is dedicated to excerpts of the enemy's dynamics and international news.It is through it that the commanders of the whole army understand the international situation and analyze the battlefield situation.It was also from this "reference news" that Qin Jiwei learned that the United States was conducting a presidential election, and that the Battle of Shangganling was launched on the opening day of the Seventh United Nations General Assembly.

From this, he judged the purpose of the United Nations army's attack on Ganling and how much effort it spent, which played an important role in correct decision-making. This is Qin Jiwei.
