In the winter of 1948, the Huaihai Campaign was in full swing, this historically significant battle was the second of the three major battles, the scale was huge, our army sent 600,000 PLA soldiers, plus 400,000 militia, into the war. Despite the lack of materials and logistical difficulties, in order to support the PLA's operations, the people of Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan and other places formed a number of up to 5 million migrant workers and used small carts to build a logistics lifeline for the PLA. The deployment and management of this huge group of migrant workers, Liu Ruilong, the logistics commander of Sanye at that time. He is an old revolutionary, born in 1910, and his hometown is in Jiangsu.
In an era of great changes in the times, Liu Ruilong has witnessed the rise and fall of countless forces since he was a child. He was a young man with great ambitions, and he was deeply distressed and disturbed when he saw that the situation in the country was turbulent and the people of Lebanon were not at peace. So, he studied hard to make progress and seek a way to save the country. During his school years, Liu Ruilong was deeply influenced by various ***s, and at the same time came into contact with communism. A little later, Liu Ruilong became the leader of his hometown, and he secretly made up his mind to overthrow the three mountains and liberate the whole of China. At the age of 17, he joined the Communist Party.
With the change of the revolutionary situation, Liu Ruilong left the calm classroom and plunged into the dangerous battlefield, becoming a member of the Red Army. With his excellent organizational and leadership skills, Liu Ruilong quickly stood out, became secretary of the Tate Party Committee at the age of 19, and founded the Red 14th Army with Li Shuoxun and others, the purpose of which was to explore a new path beyond the old army model of the Red Army. In this process of breaking the old and establishing the new, Liu Ruilong has benefited a lot, and has grown from an immature general to a more mature military and political talent.
However, to his lifelong regret, due to the enemy's frenzied encirclement and suppression, the soldiers of the Red 14th Army died one after another, and by the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were few generals left who were originally born in the Red 14th Army. War is always extremely cruel, Liu Ruilong grew up in the tempering again and again, and suffering became the price of the growth of the Red Army. In 1936, the Red Army, which had successfully completed the Long March, encountered a major crisis. The Red Army's Western Route Army suffered a crushing defeat and the team was scattered, Liu Ruilong led his subordinates to break through with difficulty, and was finally captured and imprisoned by the enemy.
However, even in prison, Liu Ruilong was not discouraged, and after consulting with other party members, he decided to establish a party branch in prison to stabilize the minds of the detainees, and continue to fight firmly against the enemy for a chance to survive. In order to protect each other, and to ensure internal security, they decided to hide their identities from each other and never divulge any organizational intelligence. Subsequently, Liu Ruilong and eight other cadres were taken to Xining by the enemy for interrogation, and they vowed to die rather than give in. Experiencing the torture and ** of the enemy, they always stick to their original intention and do not waver. In the end, he was released under the mediation of the party organization.
Liu Ruilong strengthened his belief in the rest of his life after the catastrophe, knowing that only a firm revolutionary belief can change the status quo. With the advent of the Liberation War, Liu Ruilong was appointed as the logistics commander of Sanye, although this is not the duty of charging into battle, but the importance of logistics work cannot be ignored. Especially in the Huaihai Campaign, the logistical problem became a difficult problem that urgently needed to be solved. At that time, our army lacked modern means of logistics and transportation, and the most feasible way was to mobilize the masses. However, how to uniformly deploy and manage these masses has become a major problem.
Liu Ruilong is committed to two important tasks, the first is to mobilize the masses to participate to the greatest extent and stimulate their enthusiasm for participation through extensive propaganda work. Liu Ruilong also selected a large number of cadres who were good at propaganda from the army to go deep among the people to preach the importance and significance of the war. Under Liu Ruilong's active mobilization, 5 million migrant workers enthusiastically signed up, shouting "bankrupt, support the front, endure all difficulties, overcome all hardships, and strive for the final victory of the battle." slogan. In addition, planning is a difficult task.
At that time, there was no satellite positioning, and millions of migrant workers needed to deliver food every day, and how much they needed to send, how many people they sent, and which way to go, ......These are all managed by Liu Ruilong. Every day, Liu Ruilong only sleeps for three or four hours, and when he wakes up, he draws circles with a map, and the lights in his office are often lit all night. Such an arduous task was completed by Liu Ruilong only by manpower, and even in today's era of highly developed information technology, it is difficult to imagine the hardships that Liu Ruilong paid for it in that era. People called Liu Ruilong the "big steward" of Sanye, because only by him could Sanye's front-line troops get enough food, guns and manpower.
No matter how difficult the situation is, Liu Ruilong can always find ways to "change" the materials. Even with such a large family, he didn't get much benefit from it. All his belongings were used to support the country, and after the founding of the country, as a high-ranking cadre, he never accepted gifts. It was his principle that one of his garments would last twenty years, because he could not allow his personal desires to sacrifice the common good. Liu Ruilong's noble sentiments have become a role model for his children. His second daughter *** inherited her father's career and became the fourth female vice premier of my countryIn Liu Ruilong's life, the country was always his first priority.
How much he is willing to suffer for the sake of his country. It is precisely because of countless outstanding cadres like him that New China was born.
