In 2011, Lu Wenhuan, a veteran of Henan Province, passed away, and his children held a grand funeral for him, and relevant personnel from Lingbao City, Henan Province also participated in the funeral. While sorting through the relics, his children unexpectedly found a crumpled certificate of merit written on it. What kind of legendary story is behind this award?Lu Wenhuan, what kind of legendary experience does this veteran have?Lu Wenhuan was born in 1921 in Lingbao City, Henan Province. The early death of his parents meant that he had to rely on working in a landlord's family to earn a living from an early age. Later, he joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army and became an outstanding fighter.
In 1949, the victory in the three major battles won the PLA an absolute strategic advantage. Immediately afterwards, the successful battle of crossing the river entered the Nanjing ** Mansion and overthrew the Nanjing people who had ruled China for 22 years, and the New Democratic Revolution achieved a basic victory. On October 1, 1949, ** solemnly proclaimed the formal founding of the People's Republic of China on the tower of Tiananmen Square, and the Chinese people stood up. However, the situation at home and abroad is still grim, and the capitalist countries led by the United States do not recognize New China and impose an economic blockade on New China.
During the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, part of the Kuomintang troops fled to Taiwan with Lao Chiang, but most of the troops remained on the mainland and cooperated with local bandits, which seriously endangered social order. Therefore, in 1950, a force of more than 1.5 million people was set up to combat bandits throughout the country. Lu Wenhuan also joined the anti-bandit operation with the army, and gradually became an outstanding anti-bandit hero. Lu Wenhuan's hometown is the lair of the famous bandit Li Zikui, and exterminating Li Zikui can be said to be the top priority of the anti-bandit operation!Li Zikui was born in Lingbao City, Henan Province in 1907, his parents died early, and he was raised by a wealthy local family and named Li Zikui, hoping that he could be as brave and responsible as Li Kui in **.
The folk customs of Henan are fierce and have always had a tradition of Xi martial arts. Li Zikui has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child and is passionate about it. Every morning, he helped his father work, and in the afternoon, he studied with a teacher, with great ambitions, eager to win the appreciation of the imperial court and create a brilliant life. However, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, the Beiyang warlords took power, and various warlords conscripted soldiers and established new schools. Li Zikui had plans to join the army, but he was worried about the restrictions of military life, so he chose to go up the mountain and became a bandit. Henan has a superior geographical environment, agriculture is booming, and the landlord class owns large tracts of land and wealth. Li Zikui led the crowd to rob the landlord's property many times, and later colluded with the landlord to open a casino to openly collect money.
He used cruel methods to harm innocent people. In 1927, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down, and the Nanchang Uprising opened the flames of war against the reactionaries, and then the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area rose up and launched a fierce agrarian revolution. Chiang Kai-shek expanded his forces and launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression. At this time, Li Zikui had become a tyrant in Henan, with huge wealth and armed forces. Under Chiang Kai-shek, he was responsible for the local suppression of the Communist Party. In the revolutionary base areas, our party cracked down on local tyrants, divided up land, changed the land ownership system, protected the interests of the people, and cracked down on local bandits. Li Zikui openly clashed with our party as Chiang Kai-shek's army and slaughtered many communists. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Zikui did not admit his guilt and repented, and continued to collude with the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek and hurt the people.
He became the culprit of the serious banditry in Henan. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our party organized a large-scale crackdown on bandits, and Lu Wenhuan led his troops to station in his hometown and presided over the extermination of Li Zikui. The Chinese People's Liberation Army was once belittled by Li Zikui, who mistakenly believed that the PLA still relied on old millet plus rifles, and its military strength was weak and not worth mentioning. However, after the tempering of the Liberation War, the PLA not only captured a large number of advanced **, but also created a strong military combat effectiveness. Li Zikui's power was quickly destroyed, and he had to hide in Majiazhai Village alone. In order to capture Li Zikui, the decision-making body sent 12 elite soldiers to carry out the mission, including Lu Wenhuan.
In order to avoid alarming Li Zikui, the 12 people chose to act at night and quickly arrived at Majiazhai Village. The landlord who took in Li Zikui was named Jian Zhi'an, and when he saw the PLA soldiers, he was very panicked. Lu Wenhuan and the others made a quiet gesture. Subsequently, Jian Zhi'an hinted with his eyes that Li Zikui was hiding in a nearby cave. Li Zikui has Xi martial arts since childhood, is agile, and has excellent psychological quality, but because of the many evils he has done, his situation is very tense. When Lu Wenhuan and others broke in, Li Zikui lied that he was not Li Zikui, trying to get out of the crisis. However, Lu Wenhuan made a quick decision and successfully captured Li Zikui in the fight. Lu Wenhuan became a hero of the bandit suppression and was awarded the honorary title of "Special Meritorious Hero".
With the changes in the situation at home and abroad, the country made a decision on large-scale disarmament, and Lu Wenhuan also became a part of the disarmament action and returned to the ordinary life of the local area. He never revealed his identity to his relatives and friends, let alone brags about his experience in banditry. His relatives and friends only knew that he had been a veteran, but they never expected that the certificate of merit of the special meritorious service was found in his relics, which revealed his true identity.
