In 1946, Du Yuming was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to lead his army to the northeast to occupy it. In the southern Liaoning region, he faced Wu Ruilin, the commander of our party's independent division. Although Wu Ruilin realized that the independent division was difficult to hold and decided to temporarily withdraw the preservation troops, he had a disagreement with the political commissar. The political commissar believed that holding on was more important, but Wu Ruilin firmly believed that retreating could preserve strength and create opportunities for future counterattacks. The two sides were locked in a long and heated debate.
Until a reunion, Wu Ruilin appeared in front of Du Yuming, which surprised Du Yuming, because he thought that Wu Ruilin had already died. It turned out that Wu Ruilin did not lose his life, but became the commander of the South China Sea Fleet. What's going on with this old thing?What kind of story is hidden between them?Discussion at a critical moment will only be a waste of time, because even if there is, the enemy may have already approached the city.
Wu Ruilin insisted on his point of view and finally persuaded the political commissar to agree to evacuate, but at this time it was imminent. Wu Ruilin decided to adopt a strategy to confuse the enemy, and specially ordered the intelligence agent to send a telegram, claiming to hold the position. He expected that Du Yuming was in urgent need of information, so this telegram would definitely be intercepted by the enemy. Sure enough, not long after, the telegram reached Du Yuming's hands. Seeing the contents of the telegram, Du Yuming mistakenly thought that the independent division was still holding out in southern Liaoning.
Although the number of independent divisions was no longer large, Du Yuming knew that the combat effectiveness of the PLA should not be underestimated, so he decided to deal with it carefully and ordered the army to gradually encircle southern Liaoning. At the same time, Wu Ruilin was nervously organizing the evacuation of the fighters and arranging a regiment to lie in ambush on the road to confuse the enemy troops. Du Yuming's troops were attacked by our troops when they approached southern Liaoning. Therefore, Du Yuming was even more convinced that the main force of our army was still in the city. In fact, there was no main force of our army in the city for a long time, and only a part of the soldiers who were left behind the broken army to confuse the enemy army.
Du Yuming thought that he had the chance to win, so he ordered the whole army to surround southern Liaoning and prepare to destroy our army. However, Du Yuming is only deceiving himself. It was only after the battle broke out that he realized that the battle was too easy. After the war, Du Yuming's army almost did not capture or kill our soldiers, and Wu Ruilin, the commander of the independent division, was nowhere to be found. Du Yuming was puzzled and began to wonder if he had been fooled, but he was reluctant to admit it.
Although he searched everywhere, there was still no trace of our army, so Du Yuming had no choice but to deceive himself, believing that he had annihilated the independent division. However, Wu Ruilin's whereabouts remain a mystery. Du Yuming thought about it and thought that within his tight encirclement, Wu Ruilin would not be able to escape. As a result, Du Yuming claimed in the war report: Wu Ruilin had been killed by Du Yuming's troops, trying to exaggerate the great military exploits. Although the claim that Wu Ruilin was killed was untenable from the beginning, Du Yuming is still deceiving himself.
If Wu Ruilin had not fallen, why would the southern Liaoning region be barren?In fact, as *** said: "Defending the land and losing people, losing people and land;."Defend people and lose land, and people and land exist. When Wu Ruilin led the soldiers to the battle, he did not stop, and immediately launched an offensive against Yuanjiatun to recapture the new base area. However, all this is an unknown thing for Du Yuming. Although Wu Ruilin continued to fight bravely on the battlefield later, he never had the opportunity to confront Du Yuming head-on.
Therefore, Du Yuming is even more convinced that Wu Ruilin must have died. However, the truth is that Wu Ruilin only moved elsewhere to continue the war of resistance. After the end of the Liberation War, Du Yuming was sent to Gongdelin for reform, while Wu Ruilin participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and was later transferred to the Navy as commander, and the two never met again. It wasn't until the National Day ceremony in 1962 that Wu Ruilin suddenly discovered Du Yuming, and he realized that maybe Du Yuming still thought he had died.
Wu Ruilin felt that he should go and say hello to Du Yuming, after all, Du Yuming was no longer an enemy, but a friend. In this case, the past can also be used as a joke. So, after getting the permission of **, Wu Ruilin walked to Du Yuming with a smile and told him about his experience back then. After listening, Du Yuming was convinced that he had been fooled, and he couldn't help but sigh, and deeply admired Wu Ruilin's wisdom in the past. The two shook hands on the tower of Tianmen City, completely relieving their past grievances.
