Against the backdrop of the war, many heroic generals emerged in the ranks of the revolution, who were not afraid of hardships and dangers for the development of the revolution and never flinched in the fight against the enemy. But these heroic generals, after making great achievements, are naturally highly recognized, and will give them the corresponding military ranks, Li Zhongqi is one of them. He was awarded the rank of Major General in 1955 for his many exploits in the war, and he also received several medals, which is a recognition of his ability.
Li Zhongqi, who was only 18 years old, was successfully admitted to the Northeast Army Lecture Hall and joined the cavalry department to study, and later joined the Northeast Anti-Imperialist League. After the outbreak of the 918 incident, Li Zhongqi was angry at Zhang Xueliang's policy of non-resistance, and immediately joined the anti-Japanese "squad". Although it did not have too much impact on the Japanese army, the anti-Japanese attitude was expressed, and Li Zhongqi became the leader of the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment. It's just that because he didn't have much combat experience, he was unfortunately hit by the enemy's bullets, and even if he was shot in the body, he still insisted on leading the troops to retreat into the mountains. Perhaps favored by God, Lee Jong-ki was in danger many times during the war years, but he could be resolved in the end. For example, in 1933, when Lee Jong-ki was the commander of the cavalry company, he was also engaged in underground work, covering the wounded many times, and was responsible for purchasing medical equipment and medicines. He was invited to a conference and gave a speech.
But his generous argument stung the Kuomintang so that he was arrested, and after a fierce battle, Lee Jong-chi finally escaped capture, and only three of the 12 people who accompanied him remained. It was also after this incident that he officially joined the ranks of the Communist Party, and he had an excellent performance in the Battle of Pingxingguan, and when attacking the city, he faced the well-equipped Japanese army without any fear. When he learned that the puppet army in the enemy army was all from the Northeast, he decisively shouted out the crimes of the Japanese army under the city, and successfully won over these puppet troops with this kind of psychological warfare. During the War of Liberation, he served as the vice principal of the Jinchaji Cadre School, such a general with outstanding merits and great contributions, but he did an incredible thing in the follow-up. At that time, Li Zhongqi was the deputy director of the Organization and Planning Department, and President Lin launched the struggle against dogmatism at the meeting of the Military Commission, and Mr. Peng was the person in charge of presiding over the meeting. Xiao Ke and others were impacted by this meeting, Li Zhongqi was inevitably impacted because he stood with Xiao Ke and others, but what he didn't expect was that Li Zhongqi held a grudge because of this matter, and when Mr. Peng was criticized in the follow-up, Li Zhongqi took the opportunity to take revenge.
At this time, Li Zhongqi was taking up his post in Beijing, and he openly slapped Mr. Peng twice in public at a criticism meeting, obviously venting his private emotions. Therefore, Li Zhongqi was reprimanded by Wu Zhong, and also wrote a 3,000-word review, and after Mr. Peng was rehabilitated, he regretted it. It's just that Mr. Peng has passed away at this time, and he has no chance to apologize, and finally Li Zhongqi retired as a regiment-level cadre.
Li Zhongqi slapped a marshal for a momentary grudge, you can imagine what kind of impact this incident would have at that time, even if Li Zhongqi had a lot of military exploits, he could not cover up the impropriety of his behavior, so Li Zhongqi was also affected a lot afterwards. For Li Zhongqi, the biggest regret is that he can't apologize to Mr. Peng in person, so with regret, Li Zhongqi died in Beijing at the age of 90.
