In 1949, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China and the former Soviet Union still maintained good international friendship. "Big Brother of the Soviet Union" was the name that the Chinese people Xi take for granted when they mentioned the Soviet Union at that time.
The War of Liberation was a victory that defeated the "three mountains" of empire, bureaucracy and feudalism, and it also proved that China had finally stood up, achieved independence and self-determination, and opened a new chapter in socialism.
As for the long and arduous history of wars that have been staged on the land of China, every Chinese must be able to remember it in their hearts. Among them, the Liaoshen Campaign, the Pingjin Campaign and the Huaihai Campaign, which determined the complete victory of the Liberation War, completely defeated the last darkness before dawn.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a Soviet director wanted to make a documentary about the Battle of Pingjin.
So, he invited Liu Zhenlai, the famous founding general of my country, to serve as a consultant and guide for his film.
But what he never expected was that when Liu Zhen arrived at his crew, he proposed that the plot filmed in this way did not conform to the facts, and at this moment, the Soviet director felt scratching his head.
So, as one of the founding fathers of our country, what is Liu Zhen's experience, and how did he come to be called a "tiger general"?
On the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Chinese People's Liberation Army used "millet plus rifles" to repel the high-tech aircraft artillery of the United States, and at that time, the real battlefield situation was more tragic than the interpretation and record description of later film and television dramas.
"Changjin Lake" vividly shows the heroic battles and fearless sacrifices of Siye on the Korean battlefield. When it comes to Siye, we must mention Liu Zhen, who is the famous "Siye Tiger General", and the number one, that is, the first person.
Liu Zhen, just now, said that he directed the filming of the Pingjin Campaign in Soviet films, and gave different opinions. From Liu Zhen's mouth, what is the situation of this decisive battle?
In fact, the Soviet director had good intentions, but he ignored that although the creation of art can render color, it cannot be too exaggerated. In order to show the heroism of the People's Liberation Army more macroscopically, the director arranged the number of our army very densely when arranging the battle scenes.
Therefore, what is presented in the film is that our army has a large number of people participating in the battle, and in the face of the enemy's artillery and machine guns, even if groups of soldiers fall, there are more people rushing forward against the artillery fire.
But this made Liu Zhen very angry, and he bluntly pointed out: "If the troops are arranged in this way on the battlefield, then it will lead to a lot of soldiers, and this should not be the formation of the battle situation." ”
Hearing this, the Soviet director was silent, he really only understood art, and did not understand how to implement the battle plan in the course of a real war. Although there are clouds since ancient times:"One will make ten thousand bones dry". However, General Liu Zhen cherished the life of anyone in the army.
Liu Zhen, who was born in poverty, was born in a poor peasant family, and in that chaotic and dark era, Liu Zhen lived a poor life since he was a child.
When he grew up, at the age of 15, the young Liu Zhen actively participated in the revolutionary upsurge set off in Hubei Province and joined the Red Guards. The Communist Party fought the world for the people, and Liu Zhen became one of them without hesitation.
At the beginning of the revolution, Liu Zhen fought guerrilla warfare, which also laid a solid foundation for him to use soldiers like a god in the future. In 1932, Liu Zhen became an honorable party member.
With the passage of time and the reorganization of the ranks several times, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army began the 25,000-mile long march that shook history. At this time, Liu Zhen was in the Long March team, serving as a battalion-level instructor.
Because of his courage in battle, obeying orders and listening to commands, Liu Zhen led the army to fight several beautiful battles with his personal ability. After the victory of the Long March, Liu Zhen, who had already served as the political commissar of the regiment, immediately participated in the battles of Laoshan and Yulin Bridge in northern Shaanxi.
Subsequently, the regiment led by Liu Zhen performed prominently in the battle of forcibly crossing the Yellow River, and after a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy, they successfully crossed the Yellow River and marched towards the battlefield in the northwest of Jin.
The most famous poem in the Tang Dynasty poet Chen Tao once wrote "Longxi Xing" is: "Swear to sweep away the Huns without regard for themselves, and five thousand mink brocade mourns Hu Chen;."Poor and uncertain riverside bones, especially people in deep dreams. This poem reflects the tragic war scenes along the Wuding River, a huge tributary of the Yellow River that once flowed through Yulin, Shaanxi.
In 1936, Liu Zhen led the army from the Wuding River in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, and directly attacked the northwest position of Shanxi. Subsequently, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began, Liu Zhen led the army into the southeast of Shanxi, first smashed the Japanese army's cunning "Nine-Way Siege" poisonous plan, and the Japanese soldiers fled in a hurry.
After that, Liu Zhen gave full play to his understanding of guerrilla warfare, mobilized the local civilian armed masses to participate in the guerrilla war, and his ranks expanded rapidly, and in 1938, he also established an independent regiment.
The battle against the Japanese invaders was in full swing, and in 1940, a shocking "Southern Anhui Incident" occurred. The 10th Brigade of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army was born, with Liu Zhen as the brigade commander.
After that, Liu Zhen also served as the secretary of the Huaihai Prefectural Party Committee.
1945 was an epic year of victory, Japan unconditionally announced its surrender, but the Kuomintang, which attempted to be the country's "hegemony", provoked a civil war, that is, the war of liberation was in full swing.
With the battles again and again, Liu Zhen's troops have also been reorganized several times. In 1947, after another fierce battle, Liu Zhen's troops succeeded in taking Zhangwu and annihilating nearly 10,000 Kuomintang troops.
This was a successful and great victory, demonstrating that the Chinese People's Liberation Army had a strong combat capability at this time. The famous Kuomintang general Liao Yaoxiang was captured and is still talked about by military enthusiasts, and in the process of attacking Liao Yaoxiang's ace army, Liu Zhen can be said to have made great contributions.
Liu Zhen and his troops rushed to Liaoxi to reinforce before the victory, just won a complete victory in Jinzhou, this time captured Liao Yaoxiang, Liu Zhen led the army to help encircle, so that the white and fat gold wire glasses Liao Yaoxiang had nothing to hide.
After the Liaoshen Campaign, Liu Zhen served as the commander of the 39th Army, and then the 39th Army moved to the Pingjin Battlefield. In the later Guangxi Campaign, Liu Zhen's troops completely annihilated the troops of the Gui warlord Bai Chongxi.
After liberation, Liu Zhen was awarded the Order of August 1 of the First Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom of the First Class, the Order of Liberation of the First Class, and the Meritorious Medal of the Red Star of the First Class. The general fought all his life and made great achievements in war, making great contributions to the peace and liberation of the motherland.
So, what about Liu Zhen's children?It is most appropriate to use "more than one hero" to describe Liu Zhen's family. Because of the influence of his father, the eldest son Liu Weidong and the rest of the brothers and sisters have deep admiration and yearning for the military career.
Liu Weidong joined the navy, arranged in the Nanjing Military Region, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Although the youngest son Liu Weiping has a large age gap with his elder brother, he is also a diligent and serious good soldier, and by 2006, Liu Weiping was awarded the rank of major general.
Liu Zhen's life was spent almost in the barracks, and the first half of his life was dedicated to the battlefield. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Liu Zhen's troops stubbornly resisted the US army, leaving the impression that the US army "did not dare to provoke and was not easy to provoke".
The number one tiger general "Liu Zhen is an outstanding soldier who is very worthy of admiration, and has made indelible contributions to the peace and liberation of our country. In 2007, the 80th anniversary of the founding of the army, Siyang County, Jiangsu Province, unveiled the bronze statue of Liu Zhen in People's Park.
This great proletarian revolutionary, like a dazzling star, left the great revolutionary spirit to future generations.
