The squadron shook everything!The legendary story of Air Force Lieutenant General Xu Lefu reveals the earth-shattering change of the 1988 award!
In September 1988, the squadron experienced a subversive change, and at that moment, I think, the whole country could feel the power of agitation. Our army is like an activated lion, ready to fly and heroic!Behind all this is a major change in the regularization, modernization, and informatization of China's national defense and armed forces.
Let's start from the beginning, in 1988, the year of the silence of the military rank system was finally broken. After 23 years, like a cooling volcano, it finally ushered in an eruption. This is not a trivial matter, this is the first time that the squadron has awarded the rank of senior general after decades. This award can be described as a sensation in the whole army and is a monument in the history of the squadron.
At that time, the ** Military Council awarded the rank of general officer to 1,452 senior officers, 17 generals, 146 lieutenant generals, and 1,289 major generals. This is not a desertion, this is a major advanced lesson for our army!This is a brand-new starting point for the modernization of national defense and the armed forces, and this is a strategic change and, more importantly, a statement of determination. This change has ignited a fire in the whole country, and our army is mighty and majestic, and there is no longer the silence of the past.
Looking back on that moment now, it is as if I saw an army that was desperate to carry the burden of the country and stepped forward. This is not only a military change, but also a demonstration of national strength. Just like the enthusiastic young people at that time, I guess they must have been dancing with excitement and burning their love for their country. This is a spiritual baptism, a kind of self-confidence in the bones, and more importantly, trust in the national defense force.
Hi Officials, can you imagine the scene at that time?Do you feel your heart surging and your blood boiling?At that time, I watched the news and felt as if I was standing in the trenches, shoulder to shoulder with those brave soldiers. At that moment, the glory of the country is my glory, and the victory of the army is my victory!
Let's talk about our protagonist, Air Force Lieutenant General Xu Lefu. Our General Xu is a man from Shandong, born in October 1922, and his life experience is admirable. During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the chief of the intelligence section of the Linqu County Self-Defense Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. During the Liberation War, General Xu served as the instructor of the 1st Battalion of the 29th Regiment of the 10th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army, the director of the Political Office of the 14th Regiment of the 5th Division of the 2nd Column of the Northeast Field Army, and the political commissar of the 344th Regiment of the 115th Division of the 39th Army.
Not only that, in the years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, General Xu has been working hard in his post in the Air Force. He served as the political commissar of the 10th Regiment of the 4th Division of the Air Force of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, the political commissar of the 8th Air Force Division, the deputy political commissar of the Air Force of the Shenyang Military Region, the political commissar of the Air Force of the Shenyang Military Region, and the political commissar of the Air Force of the Beijing Military Region. This promotion is not easy to complete, he has spent his whole life silently dedicating himself to the country's army construction and working hard for the country's strength.
Imagine the scene at that time, how difficult it was for this general to work his way from a young soldier to the top of the Air Force!The bitterness and sweat along the way have watered our country's indomitable army, and also cultivated outstanding military talents like General Xu.
Speaking of General Xu's awarding and promotion, it is really moving. In September 1955, he was awarded the rank of colonel, when he was serving as political commissar of the 10th Regiment of the 4th Division of the Air Force. This was a great honor in the army, which shows the high prestige of him within the army at that time. And in September 1988, he was awarded the title again, this time with the rank of lieutenant general, and also served as deputy political commissar of the Air Force and secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. This is not only a personal commendation for him, but also a recognition of his great efforts in national construction throughout his life.
I saw someone comment on the Internet: "General Xu is really a real military model, he has been selfless all his life, and this award is well deserved!""Yes, this is not only his personal glory, but also the glory of the entire army, and the pride of the country. In this life, he has fought bravely on the positions of the army and silently made too many contributions.
Hey, it reminds me of the years I used to be passionate about. At that time, I was still a young soldier, and every day was full of love for my country and yearning for the future. And ancestors like General Xu have given us great encouragement. All their lives, they worked hard for the peace and tranquility of our country, and this spirit is something that our generation will never forget.
Looking back on this period of history, we can't help but feel emotional. General Xu's life is like a military epic, engraved with the rise of the country and the magnificence of the army. Moreover, the great conferral of titles on the entire army has laid a solid foundation for the modernization of our country. This is a strategic change, a symbol of the country's strength, and more importantly, a shaping of the military's spiritual outlook.
Now, when we see the up-and-coming military talents, when we see the bright red military flags waving in the wind, when we see the rapid rise of the country, we should think of the exciting year of 1988. In that year, our country was moving towards modernization at a solid pace, and our army was the strongest backing of that era.
Well, time flies, time flies, but General Xu's deeds, the great award of the change, will forever be engraved in our hearts. This is a piece of history, a legend, and the pride of our country. No matter how time passes, we should always remember it, because this is a monument in the history of our country's development and a piece of glory for our army. I would like to pay the highest tribute to all the heroes who have silently dedicated themselves to the country and the army!
