Zuo Quan, a tactful man, devoted his life to the Party and the people and made outstanding historical contributions to the development of the people's army and the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation.

Zuo Quan took part in the revolution in his early years and had great revolutionary ideals and beliefs. 1March, 90515th, Zuo Quan was born in a poor peasant family in Huangmaoling Village, Liling County, Hunan Province. As a teenager, he pursued progress and actively participated in various patriotic activities. 19 15 Zuo Quan, who was studying in elementary school, learned that Yuan Shikai had accepted the "Twenty-one Articles" of humiliating his power and country, immediately wrote down the slogan "Don't forget 1959 national humiliation" and carried out propaganda against Japanese imperialism and traitor Yuan Shikai in the village. When he was in middle school, he joined the Social Issues Research Association led by party member and began to get in touch with Marxism. He often discussed various social problems with progressive students, and decided to join the army, determined to overthrow imperialism and warlords, and tried to change China society. 1in the winter of 923, Zuo Quan was admitted to Wujiang School of Guangzhou Army sponsored by the Military and Political Department of Marshal Sun Yat-sen's office, and transferred to Huangpu Military Academy Phase I in June 1924+065438+ 10. 1February, 925, Zuo Quan gloriously joined the China * * * production party. During my study in Whampoa Military Academy, I participated in the organization of the China Federation of Young Soldiers, United advanced young soldiers, and fought tit-for-tat with the Kuomintang Rightists and reactionaries. In March, Zuo Quan graduated from Huangpu Military Academy. In the autumn of the same year, he was transferred to attack the Hubei army with Cheng Qian as the commander and Lin as the party representative, and served as the captain of the guard battalion of the headquarters. After the reorganization of the attacking Hubei army, he served as the company commander of the guard battalion. During his stay in Guangzhou, Zuo Quan actively participated in the torrent of the Great Revolution, and took part in a series of major revolutionary struggles and military actions, such as pacifying the rebellion of the business group, pacifying the rebellion of Liu Zhenhuan in Yang Ximin, and punishing the warlord Chen Jiongming for his two expeditions to the East. He accomplished his task well and was nominated and praised by Zhou Enlai and commended by Soviet military advisers. In February 65438, Zuo Quan, as an excellent revolutionary soldier, was sent by Cheng Qian and Lin to study at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, Soviet Union. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/927, according to the instructions of the party organization, he was transferred to Fulongzhi Military Academy to study.

1930 After returning from the Soviet Union in June, Zuo Quan successively served as the education director of the First Branch of the Chinese Red Army Academy, the commander of the newly recruited Red Army 12, the chief of staff of the Red Army Command, and the chief of the operations section of the General Staff of the Military Commission, which played a positive role in cultivating Red Army cadres, defending the Soviet area in western Fujian and promoting the development of the Red Army staff work. 193 1 1 February, Zuo Quan was ordered to contact and guide the 26th Route Army of the Kuomintang to hold the Ningdu Uprising. Later, the uprising troops were reorganized into the Red 5 Army, and Zuo Quan was appointed as the political commissar of the Army 15 Army, and later served as the commander and political commissar. In order to educate and reform the uprising troops, he worked hard to implement the spirit of the resolution of Gutian Conference and vigorously strengthened the ideological and political work of the troops, which played an important role in their gradual transformation into a new type of people's army. Since then, in the battles of Ganzhou and Zhangzhou, he led the troops to fight bravely, showing strong organizational ability and military command art. 1 After June of 932, Zuo Quan successively served as an instructor of the Red Army School, deputy director of the Operations Bureau of the General Staff of the Central Military Commission of China, director of the Operations Bureau of the Red Army General Command, and the Red Army Corps1Chief of Staff, and participated in the anti-encirclement campaign in the Central Soviet Area. 1934 10 The Central Red Army began the Long March. He participated in a series of battles, such as commanding the Red Army 1 to break through the four blockade lines of the Kuomintang army, occupying Shibing City and attacking Lazikou, and led the troops to perform feint missions many times to cover the main actions of the Red Army, making outstanding contributions to the victory of the Central Red Army's Long March. After the Long March arrived in northern Shaanxi, he led his troops to participate in the battle of Zhiluo Town and the battle of the Eastern Expedition. 1 May, 936, Zuo Quan served as the acting head of the Red Army1,and together with political commissar Nie led his troops to participate in the Western Expedition, which expanded the Shaanxi-Gansu revolutionary base area and created favorable conditions for welcoming the Red Army and the Fourth Army to the north. In June 1 65438+1October of the same year, he and Nie commanded the Red1Legion and the Red 15 Legion to participate in the Battle of Mountain Castle, which forced the Kuomintang troops to stop attacking the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Revolutionary Base and contributed to the An Incident. 1in February, 937, Zuo Quan was transferred to the post of chief of staff of the former enemy headquarters of the Red Army, and assisted Commander-in-Chief Peng and the political commissar to carry out planned and step-by-step political education and military training for the Red Army, making necessary preparations for the reorganization of the Red Army and the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War.

After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Zuo Quan served as the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army and the chief of staff of the front headquarters, and later served as the commander of the second column of the Eighth Route Army, assisting Zhu De and Peng in directing the Eighth Route Army to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines in North China, strengthening the anti-Japanese armed forces and creating anti-Japanese base areas, which made immortal contributions to the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation. 1In August, 937, after the main force of the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, it went to the anti-Japanese front line in North China with Zhu De and Peng to help direct the Eighth Route Army in its strategic development. 1938 In February, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army met the Japanese invaders on the way from Linfen, Shanxi Province to the southeast of Shanxi Province. Zuo Quan personally led the only two companies with more than 200 people in the headquarters to stop the enemy of Fucheng, and fought fiercely with thousands of Japanese troops for four days and nights to cover the safe transfer of headquarters organs and the masses. In April, he participated in planning and commanding the Eighth Route Army to smash the Japanese "Nine-way Siege" in southeastern Shanxi, consolidating and expanding the anti-Japanese base areas in southeastern Shanxi. In July and August, Zhu De and Peng successively returned to Yan 'an to attend the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, and Zuo Quan was appointed to preside over the overall work of the Eighth Route Army headquarters. During this period, according to the instructions of the Central Military Commission and Zhu and Peng, he commanded the Eighth Route Army to successfully smash the Japanese army's massive siege of the Jinchaji anti-Japanese base area, further consolidating the Jinchaji anti-Japanese base area; He presided over a meeting of leading cadres attended by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the 129 Division and the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Central Committee, which played a very important role in making timely preparations for the anti-mopping-up of the military and civilians in the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan anti-Japanese base areas. After the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, he actively assisted Zhu and Peng in implementing the strategic policy of "consolidating North China" of the Central Military Commission, and commanded the Eighth Route Army to enter the southern Shandong-Hebei plain and the Hebei-Shandong-Henan plain respectively, to carry out guerrilla warfare extensively and expand the anti-Japanese base areas. As the chief of staff of the headquarters in front of the Eighth Route Army, Zuo Quan made outstanding contributions to the business construction of the Eighth Route Army. 1February 1938 and1June 1939, presided over the meeting of the chief of staff and the working meeting of the staff of the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi, formulated and improved the temporary work regulations of the Eighth Route Army headquarters at all levels, and improved the working mechanism of the headquarters. At the same time, in order to improve the military and political quality of the army, from 65438 to 0939, he helped the Eighth Route Army headquarters to organize the whole army three times, and attached importance to the political, military and cultural education of the officers and men of the army, which laid a solid foundation for the development and growth of the Eighth Route Army. 1since August, 940, he assisted Peng in commanding the Eighth Route Army to launch a hundred regiments war behind enemy lines in North China, which shocked China and foreign countries. In the first three and a half months alone, more than 40,000 puppet troops were killed and injured, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese "cage" policy, curbed the counter-current of the Kuomintang's surrender, and inspired the people of the whole country to win War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered a stage of serious difficulties behind enemy lines, he assisted Peng to lead the soldiers and civilians behind enemy lines to actively respond to the call of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, and launched a large-scale production self-help movement and the work of streamlining administration, which laid the foundation for the soldiers and civilians behind enemy lines to gradually tide over the difficulties. 1942 in may, the Japanese army "swept" the Taihang anti-Japanese base area where the eighth route army headquarters was located. On 25th, Zuo Quan was shot in Crossridge, Liao County, Shanxi Province, commanding troops to cover the Eighth Route Army headquarters and other organs. He died heroically at the age of 37. To commemorate Zuo Quan, the government of Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region decided to rename Liao County Zuoquan County, and Zuo Quan's name was engraved on the map of China!

Comrade Zuo Quan is diligent in thinking and studying. According to the revolutionary war in China and the growing reality of the people's army, he accumulated and summarized rich war experience and military theory, and made important contributions to the development of Mao Zedong's military thought.

Zuo Quan is good at studying the characteristics and laws of war by using Marxist view of war and methodology, and has put forward many important operational guiding ideology. Zuo Quan emphasized that under the situation that the enemy is strong and we are weak, our army must adhere to the unity of protracted war in strategy and quick decision in campaign and tactics, defensive war in strategy and offensive war in campaign and battle, attrition war in strategy and annihilation war in campaign and battle. In interior-line operations, we should carry out correct exterior-line operations, pay attention to the unity and cooperation between anti-siege operations and siege operations, and avoid fighting alone; Strive for the initiative in strategy, campaign and tactics, be good at discovering, creating and grasping the enemy's weaknesses, and at the same time carry forward their own advantages and eliminate their own weaknesses; Pay attention to the role of local troops and militia, so that they can actively and effectively cooperate with the regular army's operations and oppose the wrong practices of restricting and weakening the armed forces of the masses; When organizing a battle, we should use our forces flexibly, be good at striding forward and backward, be good at dispersing and concentrating, and be good at organizing various forces to participate in the battle; All military actions should be closely linked with the people's revolutionary struggle; Military struggle should be closely integrated with political, economic, cultural and other forms of struggle and oppose pure militarism; We should pay attention to accumulating strength. We should not just repeat the fight without accumulating strength, nor should we use the excuse of accumulating strength without hitting or hitting less. We should be good at conserving strength in the use of strength.

Zuo Quan paid attention to objective reality and put forward a series of tactical principles applicable to China's revolutionary war. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period, he put forward many tactical principles according to the strategic policy that our army focused on guerrilla warfare without relaxing mobile warfare under favorable conditions. He pointed out that we should always keep an eye on the enemy, understand the enemy, and always be ready for battle; We should establish confidence and determination to destroy the enemy and fight more tactical annihilation wars; We should actively look for soldiers to fight against the enemy, especially against the moving or unstable enemy; Except in special circumstances, we will not carry out simple defensive operations and protracted operations; It is necessary to strengthen combat support, strictly check the alert, block the news, and clear the scene; We should make good use of natural conditions such as geographical location and weather, and often approach the enemy with small troops to reconnoiter and disturb the enemy; No matter the scale of the battle, careful consideration and planning are needed to win, and we should not rush to fight; Keep the troops fast and secret, improve and carry forward the suddenness of the battle, and win by surprise; We should concentrate our forces, attack the enemy's weaknesses with superior forces, and oppose the average use of troops; In the battle, we should be brave and tenacious, fight continuously, and try our best to wipe out the enemy; Don't fight uncertain battles, don't fight hopeless attacks, don't cling to uncertain victories, don't fight positional battles with the enemy, and so on.

Zuo Quan attached great importance to the construction of the people's army, and stressed that the army must be built according to the requirements of the new people's army. Regarding the goal of building the army, he proposed to "build an iron party army." He refuted the wrong view that the army is "super-class" and "the army should not interfere in politics", and pointed out that our army must "politically and organizationally ensure the absolute leadership of the * * * production party in China and adhere to the political line of the * * * production party"; We must be able to "unite the army and the people", "unite the officers and men" and "unite from top to bottom"; Must have a high level of military politics and culture; There must be iron discipline. Regarding the education and training of the army, he believes that we should attach importance to both military education and political education, and we should not ignore scientific and cultural education. The main purpose of military education is to improve the military skills and tactical level of officers and men, while political education is mainly to improve the political quality of troops, while improving the cultural level of officers and men is "the key to improving all knowledge" and "understanding natural science becomes the necessary basis for learning military political theory". Therefore, strengthening the scientific and cultural education of officers and men is of great significance for improving combat effectiveness and building a strong army. Regarding political work, he believes that "political work cannot be the lifeline of the army, and we must oppose the attitude of belittling political work." Because political work ensures the absolute leadership of the * * * production party to the army and the political quality of the army, ensures the unity and consolidation of the army, develops the spirit of sacrifice and creativity of officers and men, and improves the fighting will and combat effectiveness of the army. Regarding the construction of headquarters, he proposed to improve the organization and work of headquarters organs at all levels in the spirit of "building political work"; Strictly command regulations and improve the prestige of the headquarters; Strengthen the education and training of staff officers and improve their professional level. Regarding logistics work, he emphasized the important position of logistics work in army building. "The more complex the military organization, the more developed the technology, and the more important the logistics work"; Without sound logistics, "there will be no regular army" and "there will be no victory ahead". The general task of logistics work is to ensure all the material needs of the army, consolidate the army, improve its combat effectiveness, and defeat the enemy with material support. Therefore, we must consolidate the systems of logistics work, improve the organization and work of logistics departments, improve the quality of logistics personnel, and handle the relationship between logistics organs and headquarters and political organs.

Zuo Quan attached importance to the people's role in the war and advocated launching a people's war in which people participated. He said that the people contain "the most profound war force" and should be good at "excavating it". Because to win the revolutionary war, it depends not only on how many troops we have, but also on the strength of defeating the enemy, "mainly on the strength of the people", organically unifying the strength of the army and the strength of the people and exerting them in the same place. "This is the greatest invincible force" and "the most important reliance" to win the war. Zuo Quan stressed that in the revolutionary war, it is necessary to "widely mobilize the people, organize the people, and organize and arm all unorganized people"; The Party, the government, the army and the people should cooperate closely, organize people's armed forces of different natures, and extensively carry out people's armed struggle; Strengthen the military education of the people, give them more help and training, and make them learn the methods and art of revolutionary war; Strengthen the people's fighting organization and training, improve the people's enthusiasm for struggle, and unify the people's revolutionary struggle with military action. To mobilize the people and wage a people's war, we must implement democratic politics and improve people's lives. At the same time, we must sympathize with the power of the people and use it rationally. We must be good at mobilizing the people, but we must not go against their will and democratic spirit and waste their strength. We should be able to lead the people in a heroic struggle to win, but we should not give them too much loss and sacrifice.

Zuo Quan attached great importance to the study of military theory and put forward Marxism–Leninism's military thought and science of establishing China. Zuo Quan believes that "military is a kind of science", which is based on social and economic conditions, so the development of military science is inseparable from social and economic development. Similarly, all military thoughts changed with the changes of social and economic conditions and were influenced by the superstructure at that time. However, the economic conditions at a specific time and place played a leading role. Although China's military thought developed with the development of social economy, it was seriously hindered by idealism, metaphysics and mechanical materialism. Therefore, we must use "new methods" and "new viewpoints" to create "Marxism–Leninism's new military thought" and "replace the old thought". China's Marxist-Leninist military thought can neither be copied from abroad nor created out of thin air. We can only use Marxist scientific methods to guide China's revolutionary war in a certain objective environment in China and make it "gradually emerge from struggle". At the same time, we should strengthen the study and research on war experience and military theory. We should learn from Marxism–Leninism and his theory of war, the experience and lessons of our army's long-term war, the history of war and military theory at home and abroad, inherit the revolutionary tradition of China, absorb the advantages of China's military thoughts of past dynasties, learn the mature military thoughts of advanced countries, push our military theories forward, and create "China's brilliant Marxist-Leninist military science". Zhu De once pointed out: Zuo Quan "has made extremely rich achievements in military theory, strategy and tactics, army building, staff work and logistics work. China is a rare talent in the military field.

In the nearly twenty years of revolutionary struggle, Comrade Zuo Quan showed fearless revolutionary spirit, lofty ideological and moral character and fine style, and fully demonstrated the spirit and noble quality of a proletarian revolutionary born in party member.

He has a firm belief in * * * production, infinite loyalty to the party and the people, and has fought for the proletarian revolutionary cause all his life. Zuo Quan joined the China * * * production party at the age of 20. After that, he joined the China Revolution without hesitation, and fought for the proletarian revolutionary cause with firm belief and ardent enthusiasm. /kloc-in the summer of 0/930, he wrote in a letter to his eldest brother: "Although I have returned to China, I am afraid that I will not be able to go home for ten years. My mother will support me and I will make all my contributions to the revolution. " After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he said in a letter to his mother: "For the benefit of the nation-state, there was no copper coin in the past and there is still no copper coin now. I used to eat grass, and now I'm going to eat grass. " In order to assist Zhu De and Peng in directing the Eighth Route Army to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines in North China, he worked almost ten hours a day, staying up all night for days, and sometimes he didn't even have time to eat. Many telegrams and telegrams, such as orders, instructions and notices issued by the Eighth Route Army headquarters, were drafted by him personally. Zhu De recalled: "Even in the day-and-night fighting and action, even in the fatigue of not sleeping for several days and nights, he never showed burnout, negligence, laissez-faire and irritability. He is constantly solving problems, urging deployment, drafting orders, checking work, and sometimes even tired. He also called in his dream and booked a job. Comrade Zuo Quan has never complained about this work for more than ten years and has never taken a day off. " For the cause of the party and the people, he really did his best and died.

He distinguishes right from wrong, is open-minded, takes the overall situation into account, and has strong party spirit principles. In the face of right and wrong, Zuo Quan took a clear-cut stand and dared to fight against all kinds of erroneous tendencies. I made mistakes in my work, never shirked, and dared to take responsibility. For the cause of the party and the people, he is even more humiliated, correctly handling the relationship between personal interests and revolutionary interests, and focusing on the overall situation. When working in the Central Soviet Area, influenced by Wang Ming's wrong route, Zuo Quan was said to be suspected of "Trotskyist" and was dismissed from the position of commander and political commissar of the Red Army 15 and became a military teacher of the Red Army School. Nevertheless, he is still "unsafe" and "not passive". No matter what the party arranged for him to do, he obeyed without saying a word and fulfilled every task assigned by the party dutifully. Decades later, Geng Biao, who is already a State Councilor and Minister of National Defense, wrote: "As his subordinates, many of us didn't know about it, and we didn't feel that Zuo Quan was wronged." Although Zuo Quan has endured mental pain for a long time, he can endure injustice and stand the test. His firm belief in the revolutionary cause of the party has never wavered, and he has always struggled for the cause of the party and the people until his blood boils. He showed great loyalty to the cause of the party and the people with lofty party spirit; Have a clear conscience, proved himself to be China * * * excellent party member.

He is diligent and studious, never stops writing, and always maintains the virtue of modesty and prudence. Zuo Quan loved learning all his life and persevered. He often said: "Books are the ocean of knowledge, and learning is the ladder of progress. It is terrible that a person is unwilling to study. " Even in the intense and busy battle career, Ma Rong insisted on studying and writing, and hundreds of words were written, written or translated by him. His hard-working spirit is well-known in the whole army. Although Zuo Quan is powerful, knowledgeable and expert in staff work, he never talks big, never looks down on others, and never highlights himself. He has always maintained the virtue of modesty and prudence, always seeking the opinions of most people as much as possible, rather than one person or a few people in charge; Thanks to his achievements, the army won the battle. He has always emphasized the role of the commanders and soldiers or the masses, emphasized the correctness of superior leaders, and never talked about individuals.

He is honest and thrifty, and always maintains the style of hard struggle. Although Zuo Quan has been a senior leader of the army for a long time, he has a lot of work and is very tired, but he has never been specialized in life and is strict with himself everywhere. 1939, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was moved to Brick Wall Village, Wuxiang County, Shanxi Province. Because the local houses are not plentiful, Zuo Quan lives in a ruined temple in the village. Winter is coming, and there is a draught around the ruined temple. The soldiers could not bear to freeze the chief of staff and wanted to change places with him. But Zuo Quan said, "There are a group of people living in your family, and I am alone. How can I let a person live in a warm house and call a dozen soldiers cold! " Due to long-term overwork, Zuo Quan's body gradually lost weight. Once, the cook killed the chicken fed by the army and stewed it for him, but he let the cook feed it to the sick and wounded. The clothes, shoes and socks he usually wears and the bedding covered on the bed are patched, and he never refuses to change them at will. When commanding the construction of defense facilities in Huangyadong Arsenal, he often went up and down the mountain. When the cloth shoes and sandals he brought were worn out and the guards advised him to change a new pair of shoes, he resolutely disagreed. He tore off the uppers of worn cloth shoes and nailed them to the patched grass soles. Then he put on his "new shoes" and continued to climb the mountain. The soldiers were all moved by their style of hard struggle.

He cares about his subordinates, cherishes the masses and always maintains flesh-and-blood ties with the masses. Zuo Quan is strict with himself, but he gives possible care to comrades and people everywhere. Once, a soldier's lover came to the army and had no place to live. Zuo Quan know, let the couple rest in his room. At night, he sleeps on the grass bed where soldiers sleep. Zuo Quan, deputy director of the headquarters management department, suffered from tuberculosis. He specifically told the health department to treat him well, and often visited him and comforted him with supplements he could not bear to eat. Zuo Quan also often gives the nutrients he has seized to the wounded or his comrades who work at night. He cares about his comrades; He is full of sincere feelings for the people. Zuo Quan once said: Man is water, and we are fish. More water makes the fish active. Fish out of water rarely survive. It is out of a deep understanding of this relationship with Zhong Junmin that Zuo Quan always cares about the sufferings of the people and pays attention to safeguarding the interests of the masses. Whenever the Japanese invaders "mopped up", he always instructed the troops to cover the safe transfer of the masses; When the masses are in trouble, he always orders the troops to help them as much as possible. He led the Eighth Route Army officers and men to open up wasteland with the people, planting trees, planting crops, drilling wells, building reservoirs and flood control dams. 194 1 after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered a stage of serious difficulties behind enemy lines, he and Peng led troops and resident people to carry out a large-scale production self-help movement on the banks of Qingzhang River and lived on the beach with the people. 1in the spring of 942, he and Peng led the broad masses of soldiers and civilians to complete the embankment construction project in the middle section of Qingzhang River, adding more than 400 mu of fertile land, which was praised as a beautiful talk by the local people.

Comrade Zuo Quan's life is a life of revolution and a life of fighting. To commemorate Comrade Zuo Quan and his brilliant achievements, we should learn from his firm belief that he has the courage to pursue revolutionary truth, adhere to the principle of party spirit and fight for capitalism for life. Learn from his revolutionary spirit of being highly responsible for the party's cause, diligent and loving the people, and selfless dedication; Learn from his excellent qualities of loving the party and the people, being strict with self-discipline, being honest and honest, and working hard; Learn from his good study style of diligent study, assiduous study, integration of theory with practice and innovation; Learn from his noble feelings of taking care of the overall situation, regardless of personal gains and losses, and sacrificing one's life for justice. Let us closely unite around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as the general secretary, hold high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory, fully implement Theory of Three Represents, vigorously promote the modernization of national defense and the army, and work hard to achieve the grand goal of national reunification and national rejuvenation!
