Division history

Historical evolution

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Ji was called "anzhougang" and there were scattered villages in the territory. Deng AI, a subordinate of Sima Yi, once stationed thousands of soldiers in dengzhai (now North of yanweizi in Zhangying Village) for training. For this reason, people here still have the tradition of practicing martial arts. In the 1990s, Mr. Cao Biao, a young martial artist, set up an open and free martial arts school in yanweizi, Caoji. At one time, the number of students reached several hundred. Later, due to the emphasis on culture rather than martial arts, social and economic development, the decrease of students and other reasons, it was suspended. at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Caoji was called caojiaji, and the market began to take shape. At that time, there were several dyeing shops and snack shops. General Jiao Yushan, who has made great achievements in the war, grew up in Jiaotai village of this town. Jiaoyushan (1915-1990) was born in Jiaotai village, Caoji Town, Funan County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province in 1915. When he was young, he herded cattle for his relatives. In 1931, due to the great flood of Huaihe River, Jiao Yushan fled from home to Gushi. When he met the Red Army, he insisted on joining the army. The company commander saw that he was short and young, and refused to accept him. Political commissar Zhan Caifang left him in the company headquarters and became an orderly. In 1935, under the command of Li Xiannian, he crossed the Jialing River by force. He was wounded in the battle at Jianmen pass, and the division chief sent two soldiers to help him across the snow mountain. When he crossed the snow mountain for the second time, he and the soldiers fell asleep by the campfire, covered by the heavy snow. Only Jiao Yushan and the duty squad leader climbed out. Jiao Yushan successively served as the platoon leader of 263 regiment of 88th division of Red Army 30, the company instructor of 267 regiment of 89th division, the company commander of Xuebing company of General Political Department of Fourth Front Army of Red Army, the leader of plainclothes team of headquarters of Fourth Front Army of Red Army, the Deputy battalion commander of guard battalion and the company commander of cavalry company. During the western expedition, Jiao Yushan was shot through in his left hand. When the West Route Army failed, he was caught by the local militia and held in prison for more than 10 days. Later, he escaped on the way to Qinghai and was rescued by the Western aid army. During the Anti Japanese War, he was the company commander of 385 brigade guard company of 129 division. He was wounded in the battle of Guan family. He served as the battalion commander of the independent detachment and vice captain of the division's teaching brigade. He studied in the Anti Japanese university in 1942 and served as the team leader and education director. During the war of liberation, he served as the head of 34 regiments of 12 divisions in the 4th column of the Northeast Field Army. In the battle of Xinkailing, the 34th regiment cooperated with the brother troops to attack the horse racing. The brother troops did not progress quickly. The division commander ordered the 34th regiment to attack. Jiao Yushan commanded the 34th regiment to launch a fierce attack from the enemy's flank and beat the horse racing. After the start of the encirclement and annihilation battle in Xinkailing, the 34th regiment made three strong attacks and won the position firmly held by the enemy's 25th division. Jiao Yushan commanded the 34th regiment to liberate Benxi. During the general attack of Liaoyang, the troops boarded the city wall in five minutes. During the attack on Anshan, the 34th regiment occupied shensheshan and the municipal government building. In the Tashan blocking battle, the starting position of the 34th regiment was at the Tashan fort and the railway bridge. On the second day of the Tashan blocking battle, the 34th regiment guarding at the forefront of the village was fiercely attacked by the enemy echelons after echelons. There was a scuffle. The 34th regiment suffered heavy casualties, and even the regiment's reserves used it until the bayonet became red. On the third day, the column adjusted its deployment, and the 34th regiment concentrated on Guarding Tashan fort. The enemy attacked more fiercely. Each of the enemy's death squads hung a row of grenades on their chest. When they charged, they yelled, "you'll be rewarded if you attack Tashan, officer level 3!" Jiao Yushan commanded the 34th regiment to fight very hard, and the heroes of "fire at me" appeared in the 34th regiment. After the war, 34 regiments of 12 divisions won the title of "Tashan hero regiment". Jiao Yushan became the head of the "Tashan heroic regiment" well-known throughout the army. In 1949, when the fourth column was renamed the 41st army, Jiao Yushan was the head of the 123rd division of the 41st army. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, Jiao Yushan successively served as deputy director and director of the Public Security Department of Guangdong Province, deputy political commissar of the provincial public security corps, commander of the 10th garrison division, and commander of Foshan military division. He graduated from the basic Department of higher military academy in 1962 and served as deputy commander of the 47th army, deputy commander of Guangxi military region, and deputy chief of staff of Guangzhou Military Region. Jiao Yushan took part in directing the counterattack against Yongle islands in Xisha in 1974 and the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 1979. He became a major general in 1964. He was awarded the second level 81 medal, the third level independent freedom medal, the second level Liberation Medal and the first level Red Star Medal. Shen enjiu (1933-1982), a member of caojigui temple in Funan County, is an outstanding member of the Communist Party of China and a good cadre and martyr of the people. Shen enjiu had been poor since childhood. He lost his father at the age of 8 and was raised by his uncle. At the beginning of the liberation of Funan, enjiu took an active part in the fight against bandits and hegemonism, and served as the branch leader and squadron leader of the militia. He joined the Communist Party of China in March of the following year. In 1956, he was appointed deputy head of guimiao township. In 1959, he was criticized for exaggeration and disaster reporting, and was warned by the party. It was corrected in 1962. In 1968, Shen enjiu served as secretary of the Party committee and director of the Management Committee of guimiao commune. He was criticized by the rebels, but he still directed the flood fighting and disaster relief, and was concerned about the people's suffering and production. In 1973, Shen enjiu was sent to Ningtai brigade as secretary of the Party branch. He worked hard with the masses for two years, increasing the grain yield of the brigade from 150 kg / mu to 250 kg / mu. In 1976, Shen enjiu was sent to Gaotai health center as the temporary responsible person. After one year's rectification, this "old and difficult" unit was rated as the advanced unit of the county's health system. In the middle of July 1982, Funan County was hit by a huge flood disaster, and the county government mobilized the people of the whole county to fight against the flood. Regardless of his serious illness, Shen enjiu insisted on going to the most dangerous section of the dike, saying that "the guarantor is on the dike.". On July 18, Shen enjiu led the masses into the dangerous section to fight against the wind and rain, step on the sand, build dams and eliminate the dangerous situation. At that time, enjiu's mother was critically ill, and her daughter came to be in a hurry. "The flood control is so tight that I can't leave," enjiu said. Mother and son love, people have. But there are many mothers in the dyke, facing the danger of life and property, how can I leave like this! "At 3:30 a.m. on July 24, I suddenly found a big hole in the inner side of the dyke, and the water jet was more than 2 meters high. Shen enjiu roared: "go outside the dike to find the hole!" he led the way to check the hole and organized people to block it. At this time, Shen enjiu fell down and fainted. They helped him to the levee. In a coma, enjiu asked intermittently, "is the hole blocked?" and asked people to report to the higher authorities as soon as possible. When he heard people say "the hole is blocked", he trembled and said, "OK Good... " He died at the age of 49. Anhui provincial Party committee and provincial people's Government awarded him the glorious title of "Excellent Communist Party member and good cadre of the people", recognized him as a martyr, and called on the people of the whole province to learn from him.
