You may have noticed a remarkable phenomenon that many veterans are still alive and well between the ages of 10, and many are even entering their 100th birthday. Among China's founding generals, there are many centenarian generals, and in February this year, the two founding major generals passed away, both of whom were over 100 years old. Today I would like to introduce to you a 104-year-old founding major general - Chen Ruiting, whose life is legendary and touching.
Chen Ruiting was born in 1906 in Jimo, Shandong Province, to an ordinary peasant family. In 1925, at the age of 19, Chen Ruiting was admitted to Jinan Normal School and became a primary school teacher after graduation. However, the subsequent outbreak of "Jinan **" made the country suffer from Japanese invasion, and Chen Ruiting decided to abandon religion and join the army. Although there is a proverb that says: "A good iron does not hit nails, and a good man is not a soldier", he was resolutely admitted to the Hebei Military and Political School, which later became the 7th phase of Huangpu.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Chen Ruiting became an artillery battalion commander and made countless achievements. In 1938, his artillery battalion met the division of the Japanese army in Tufeiyuan, and the number and equipment far exceeded Chen Ruiting's artillery battalion. However, he was not afraid at all and commanded the artillery battalion to engage in fierce battles with the enemy. During the battle, a shell landed beside him, and Chen Ruiting was knocked unconscious. At that time, everyone thought that he had died, but it was later found that the two pieces of shrapnel miraculously did not hurt him in the slightest, and Chen Ruiting was unscathed.
In September 1938, Chen Ruiting led an artillery wing to launch an artillery battle at Wanjialing, completely annihilating a Japanese wing, equivalent to the elimination of more than 3,000 Japanese troops. This feat won him a lot of praise, and some people even said that killing more Japanese soldiers could prolong his life.
Although Chen Ruiting was a member of the Kuomintang, he joined the Chinese Communist Party as early as 1937. At that time, his superiors thought that it was more useful for him to stay in the Kuomintang, so he remained in the Kuomintang. However, in 1941, Chiang Kai-shek launched the Southern Anhui Incident, and Chen Ruiting was transferred to fight the New Fourth Army. He resolutely disagreed with the order to let the Japanese devils not fight and go to fight his own people. Through the contact between the Southern Bureau and **, Chen Ruiting got the approval of ** and decided to lead his troops to revolt. However, the uprising did not go well, and Chen Ruiting was seriously injured. **Zhang Yunyi and other leaders went to visit in person, and sent the best doctor to use the best medicine for him**, and finally Chen Ruiting**.
In 1946, Chen Ruiting was appointed chief of staff and commander of artillery at the New Fourth Army Headquarters, and participated in the Lunan Campaign, the Menglianggu Campaign, and the famous Huaihai Campaign.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Ruiting served as the artillery commander of the East China Military Region. He was associated with cannons all his life, and in his later years, he was indifferent to fame and fortune and lived a frugal retirement life. On June 13, 2010, Chen Ruiting, who died at the age of 104, passed away in Beijing.
