In 1958, Li Decai, the commander of the Baoding Military Division, dressed in a two-bar four-star military uniform, was sitting on a train speeding on the Beijing-Guangzhou line, and he was smiling and looking at the scenery outside the window while beating the beat on the table. The waiter couldn't help but ask, "Chief, what makes you so happy?"”
Li Decai replied with a big grin"I'll see you in Beijing." ”
The waiter said with some disbelieving: "You want to go to Beijing to see ***."
Li Decai smiled and nodded.
The waiter stuck out his tongue when he saw this, and then put down the teacup and left quietly, Li Decai went to Beijing this time, in fact, he wanted to build a basketball court for the military region, but there was a lack of cement, cement was a planned material, and the control was relatively strict at that time, and Li Decai had no choice but to go to Beijing in person to find help.
Some people may ask, **As the main leader of the country, he has every opportunity and works hard for state affairs, so Li Decai went to find *** for some cement?
Secondly, Li Decai, as a colonel, why is he so confident that he can meet ***?
Li Decai's self-confidence stems from his legendary revolutionary experience.
In 1904, Li Decai was born in a poor peasant family in Pingxiang, Jiangxi.
After a long time, Li Decai, who was young, did not want to live the second half of his life at a glance, so he desperately wanted to change his fate.
Soon, the opportunity came.
During the Great Revolution, the peasant ** movement in the whole country was vigorously carried out, and Li Decai's hometown also formed a peasant cooperative, and also established the peasant Red Guards.
When Li Decai heard that the Communist Party was the master of the house for the poor people, he immediately signed up and asked to join the guerrillas.
The local guerrillas saw that Li Decai was a burly man and a soldier, and immediately took him into account, and then Li Decai began his revolutionary career.
In 1930, Li Decai's guerrilla unit was incorporated into the Red Army, and Li Decai's revolutionary career also entered a new period.
As soon as he joined the Red Army, the squad leader arranged Li Decai to the machine gun company, and at that time, perhaps the squad leader did not expect that his arrangement would train the best machine gunner for the Red Army.
Li Decai was poor when he was a child and didn't read much, but he had an enviable understanding of machine gun shooting, and it didn't take long for Li Decai to be arranged as a deputy shooter, and he was the first person to become a deputy shooter among his group of Red Army members.
And the superiors valued Li Decai so much, and Li Decai naturally did not disappoint the superiors.
In many battles after that, Li Decai always set up a machine gun and pointed where to fight, and made great contributions to covering the troops and destroying the enemy.
According to the situation at the time, although Li Decai was an excellent machine gun shooter, if he could get acquainted with *** and form a friendship with him, I am afraid many people would not believe it.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case, the reason why Li Decai entered the field of vision and formed a friendship with *** is entirely because of one of his nicknames.
Li Decai's nickname is "Dirty", speaking of which, there is also a "origin" that makes people laugh at his nickname
In one battle, Li Decai's unit conquered Ji'an and captured a large number of enemy military supplies, as well as some new military uniforms.
Li Decai was assigned a new military uniform, at that time, this military uniform pants had a mouth, and everyone didn't know how to wear it, Li Decai thought that the mouth on this side must be for the convenience of, so he put the mouth of the pants on the back and wore it in a hurry.
As soon as everyone saw that Li Decai had become a "role model", they learned from Xi one after another.
Later, when Huang Gongluo saw this scene, he couldn't help it, so he called Li Decai and asked him why he was wearing it like this.
After listening to what Li Decai said for the sake of, Huang Gongluo smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said:"You, Li Decai, are really a dirtyman. ”
After speaking, Huang Gongluo corrected Li Decai's wrong way of wearing.
Li Decai suddenly realized, and hurriedly put the mouth side of the pants on the front, the pants were worn, but he also had an extra nickname, that is, "local guy".
Li Decai did not dislike this nickname, and was even complacent, after all, it was given to him by the chief himself.
And *** learned about Li Decai in 1935 when he forcibly crossed the Dadu River.
After five years of training, Li Decai undoubtedly became the best machine gun shooter in the ranks of the Red Army.
When the Red Army arrived at the Dadu River, in order to cross the river as soon as possible, the commander of the Red Army's advance team personally came to the positions of the Red First Regiment and the Red First Division and One Regiment to inspect it.
Accompanying *** was the political commissar of the Red First Army
**While watching, while communicating with ***, suddenly he asked Yang Dezhi, the head of the regiment: "Are the local guys here?"”
**I don't know why,** I told the story of Li Decai,** laughed after hearing it, and said that I had to meet the local guy in person.
Li Decai was wiping his machine gun at this time, and when he saw so many leaders coming, he immediately stood up and saluted.
Looking at Li Decai, he patted him trustingly and encouraged him to make persistent efforts.
Soon, the battle to force the crossing of the Dadu River began.
**Commanding on the front line, seeing that the enemy counterattacked our army, sharpshooter Zhao Zhangcheng exploded a shell in the center of the enemy's position, and the enemy fled in a hurry, **Hurriedly shouted: "Guys, fight, hit hard." ”
Li Decai immediately fired with a machine gun, one shot at a time, and the enemies fell one by one, ** shouted excitedly: "Dirty, fight well, fight well." ”
Under the cover of Zhao Zhangcheng and Li Decai, the warriors who forcibly crossed the Dadu River quickly succeeded, eliminated the enemy, and occupied the beachhead.
In this battle, our army finally won the victory.
The next day, ** and others came to Dadu River, ** told the story of the battle vividly, and he specially talked about Li Decai's performance.
Zhang Wentian wanted to know why Li Decai was called a "local guy", * told this story again, ** laughed after hearing it, and from then on, he also remembered Li Decai and remembered the "local guy".
In his revolutionary career after that, Li Decai repeatedly made great contributions to the revolution, and his nickname of "local guy" was also spread more and more widely.
During the Anti-Japanese War, based on his trust in Li Decai, he also served as the captain of the party school's family team.
At that time, every time I saw Li Decai, I would make jokes about him.
Once, when he was talking about rectification mobilization for everyone at the ** Party School, Li Decai wore a leather jacket worn by a US military pilot (this is the military material that *** won for our army from Chongqing) to participate.
**Knowledgeable, everyone listened with interest, suddenly, Deng Hua stood up, walked to the rostrum, picked up the teacup and drank.
Seeing this, Li Decai also felt thirsty, so he snatched the cup from Deng Hua's hand and drank it.
Everyone else was dumbfounded, but they looked at the two with a smile.
After the two of them finished drinking, ** when they were talking about empiricism, they suddenly spoke: "Some comrades think that they have a long revolutionary history and can fight wars, and they have revolutionary experience, but they are unwilling to work their Xi. We must strive to improve our theoretical and cultural level through Xi study, and we cannot be satisfied with being an uneducated commander forever. ”
After a pause, ** continued"Just like Comrade Li Decai, don't look at him wearing a leather jacket, he thinks he is quite foreign, but he is actually still a "local guy". ”
Everyone in the audience laughed when they heard this, and some people who knew the origin of Li Decai's nickname also introduced it to the people around him.
Li Decai saw this scene, and he didn't feel anything, and he smiled at ***.
As a result, Li Decai and his nickname of "local guy" became even louder in the team.
During the War of Liberation, Li Decai successively served as a brigade commander, deputy division commander and other positions, after the founding of New China, Li Decai participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, in 1952, he returned to China.
At that time, Li Decai's work arrangement, ** and others were very concerned, and in the end, it was Li Decai's old leader Yang Chengwu who came to Li Decai's home and personally gave him two choices.
First, he was the leader of the management department in the leading organ in Beijing, and second, he went to the army.
When Li Decai heard this, he shouted: "I can't do the work of serving people, so let's get out of the army." ”
In this way, Li Decai was appointed commander of the Baoding Military Division.
In 1958, the Communist Party of China decided to move the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee from Baoding to Tianjin, and then the Hebei Provincial Military Region and other cadres also moved with it.
After the provincial military district left, the logistics department was left to the military subdivision, Li Decai looked at this place, walked around, and suddenly said: "There is a lack of a basketball court." ”
After speaking, Li Decai went to find Li Yuenong, secretary of the Baoding Prefectural Party Committee.
To build a basketball court, cement is needed, so Li Decai looked for Li Yuenong, just to ask Li Yuenong to approve cement for himself.
Li Yuenong secretly complained after hearing this"Cement is a planned material, this is the second half of the year, I'm afraid there are no unplanned indicators in the province, you may want to find it, you can only go to Beijing." ”
When Li Decai heard this, he didn't blame Li Yuenong, but turned around and left.
Subsequently, Li Decai took Dun Liangbi, secretary of the party committee of the military sub-district, on the train to Beijing.
When he arrived in Beijing, Li Decai wanted to go directly to ***, but in front of Zhongnanhai, he was stopped, and the guard told him: "If you want to see the chairman, you have to contact in advance." ”
Li Decai jumped up: "I have to contact *** in advance, I am Li Decai." ”
The guards acted according to the rules and regulations, but there was no way, so Li Decai had no choice but to live in the Xidan Guest House of the Beijing Military Region first.
Before leaving Zhongnanhai, Li Decai happened to see a child of a ** leader, so he waved his hand.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Li Decai was the person in charge of the family team, and the child also knew him, so he called out obediently: "Uncle Li." ”
Li Decai touched his little head, and then said, "Can you see ***?"”
Child: "Of course, our house is not far from his house. ”
Li Decai was very happy: "Then you can help me bring a letter to the chairman, okay?"”
The child immediately agreed.
After many years of revolutionary career, Li Decai's cultural level has not improved much, so he wrote:I've come to Beijing and want to see the chairman
The next day, two soldiers came to the guest house and told Li Decai that they wanted to see him.
Soon, the car stopped at the Juxiang Book House where *** was located.
After getting out of the car, Li Decai entered the house, and saw *** sitting on the sofa, Li Decai hurriedly stood upright, saluted, and said with a smile: "The local guy is here, sit down." ”
Li Decai didn't sit down, but circled around *** a few times.
Then, Li Decai asked: "Chairman, what good things have you eaten over the years, why did you grow so fat?"”
After hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You dirtyman."
After greetings, ** asked: "Guy, you came to me this time, is there anything wrong?"”
Li Decai told *** that he wanted to build a basketball court and lacked cement, and after hearing this, he called *** Prime Minister on the spot and asked him to help him.
Seeing that the matter had been done, Li Decai was in a good mood, and he said: "Chairman, it's hard to see you now, and it's taken a lot of effort." ”
**Somewhat silent, he knew that this time was different after all.
Li Decai continued"Chairman, you can send me some souvenirs, and when I miss you, I will take them out and see you." ”
**Agreed, gave Li Decai a fountain pen.
After getting the pen, Li Decai looked east and west, smiled, and asked the staff to send a belt: "This is also for you, you tie it, it's also a thought." ”
Li Decai happily accepted it.
At this time, Li De clearly felt that the friendship between this leader and their old Red Army had not weakened with the passage of time.
After leaving Zhongnanhai, Li Decai returned to Baoding and built a basketball court with cement, and donated the unused cement to a school under construction.
Two years later, in 1960, Li Decai had a heart attack and died at the age of 56.
Due to Li Decai's special contribution, the party organization held a grand memorial service for him, and later, Li Decai was buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
