More than 20 years later, Lü Renli made a special trip to Gansu to thank the Tibetan lama and the Tu father who helped him when he was in trouble.
Lü Renli was born in 1916 in Lu'an City, Anhui Province, to a poor peasant family. At the age of 14, in order to solve the problem of food and clothing, he resolutely joined the ranks of the Red Army and served as a messenger.
He performed well in the ranks and was soon promoted to platoon commander, and then he was reused by his superiors as a communications squad leader and a guard squad leader. How was Lu Renli injured on the way to escape?
And how did he get help from these people? How did he finally get out of the predicament, and how did the wound on his head last long? Let's take a look at this.
In Zheng Weishan's notes, the bloody battle between the Red Army and the Qinghai Horse Bandit Army in October 1936 is recorded.
At that time, the Red Army and the Qingma Bandit Army launched a fierce battle for half a year, and in the difficult years of the Western Route Army, they fought bloody battles with the Ma Jiajun every day, and endured great pain and pressure.
During these difficult years, what kind of tribulations did Lu Renli experience? What is his relationship with Ma Jiajun? All of this will be revealed below.
In the second half of 1933, Lu Renli went to the Red Army University for further study according to the organizational arrangement, and after systematic study and Xi, he gained a deeper understanding of the party's ideology.
Subsequently, he served as the political instructor of the 33rd Battalion and 1st Company of the 297th Regiment of the 99th Division of the 1st Army, and was soon promoted to the commander of the 3rd Battalion.
However, in 1935, after the Red Front Army established the Red Fourth Front Army, due to disagreements, the Red Fourth Front Army began to march south.
In the beginning, Lu Renli's battalion consisted of nearly 300 people, but life was very difficult, and even basic food and clothing became a problem.
Hunger and cold threatened the lives of the Red Army soldiers, and some of them violated discipline, and when the second crossing of the meadow and the Red Second Front joined forces, only 200 men remained in the battalion.
The meeting place was in Shangbaoza in western Sichuan, and the Red Second Front Army sent a cow to each battalion, and when the soldiers saw that there was beef to eat, more than half of the cow was eaten on the first day.
Despite their apprehensions, they conserved food for two days, eventually boiling the bones into soup and saving 200 lives with one yak. Later, Lü Renli was captured by enemy troops.
In 1936, the Western Route Army abandoned the base areas of Yongchang and Shandan in Gansu Province and marched westward. On New Year's Day 1937, the Fifth Army captured the county seat of Gaotai.
1,400 enemy troops surrendered, and 300 of the 800 members of the militia did not want to go home, so they were absorbed by our army and formed into an anti-Japanese volunteer army.
At the same time, the enemy launched an attack on the main forces of the Red Army, and the Red Fifth Army fell into a situation of encirclement and isolation.
When conducting defensive operations within the city walls, due to the single shooting hole in the city wall, the risk of exposure is high, it is difficult to organize concentrated firepower, and the consumption of troops and ammunition is extremely fast.
The Red Army was at a disadvantage, and the army commander Dong Zhentang realized that the siege must be broken, otherwise it would face a greater **.
Lü Renli led a company to dig a large hole three meters wide and two meters high under the city wall behind the Great Buddha Temple in the north of the city, preparing to break through in order to retain the strength of the Red Army.
However, when Dong Zhentang was about to give the order to break through, he received a letter from Linze, asking him to defend the high platform, saying that its geographical location was important and that he would be punished by military discipline if he lost it. Therefore, the Red Fifth Army swore to defend the high platform to the death.
However, in the process of fighting, it was found that the 300 people who had been recruited before had defected, let go of the city gate, and let the Ma family army attack. Outnumbered, the Red Fifth Army was eventually annihilated, and the surviving soldiers were captured.
When Lü Renli led the army to break through the siege, only thirty or forty cavalry regiments were left around him to cover behind the palace, facing hundreds of pursuers.
With a saber in his left hand and a large blade in his right hand, he stood at the opening in the courtyard wall, facing five or six enemies alone.
In the fierce battle, Lu Renli skillfully dodged the enemy's attack and cut off the enemy's hand, but was eventually slashed into the eyebrow bone and fainted, and when he woke up, he was captured.
At night, the Red Army soldiers who were held in the compound received food from the Ma family, albeit in small amounts, but the enemy no longer locked the doors.
Lu Renli's heart was full of grief and indignation, and he was determined not to wait for death, and vowed to fight for the final victory of the Red Army. Lu Renli ventured to climb onto the roof to escape from the enemy, as his comrades were seriously injured and unable to escape.
He observed the route in advance and fled east under the cover of night, wounded and tattered on the way. Luckily, an elderly woman came to the aid by offering thick cotton clothes and hot dry food.
While recuperating in a monastery, the Tibetan lama took his wounds and invited him to stay and marry his younger brother. However, out of concern for his parents, Lu Renli politely rejected the lama's kindness.
In order to return to the large army, he ventures to pass the level by posing as the mute son of the groom, and eventually reunites the large army. In the revolutionary war, Lu Renli made great achievements.
After the victory of the Liberation War, he avenged his past blood revenge, not only was he awarded the rank of colonel and major general, but also went to thank Zhang Wangong's brother who had taken him in.
After the founding of New China, he went to *** head wound and finally told the hardships of the year.
Lu Renli knew how to repay his kindness, and he received the help of the people when he was in trouble, and also brought a stable life to the people of the world.
It is precisely because of the bloody battles of soldiers like him on the battlefield that today's happiness and tranquility have been exchanged. Let us pay our highest tribute to our ancestors.
