The scene of the conferment in 1955, oneThe right hand sleeve is empty, and the storekeeper is emptycame to the scene, among the many major generals who had made great achievements, he seemed so abrupt and discordous.
It didn't take long for the title to be conferredKindly shook his left hand and said excitedly:"Your contribution to the party and the country will be remembered by history, and the people will be remembered, and I thank you on behalf of the people!”
Who is he and why he can be so praised by the prime minister, many people present showed curiosity about the disabled general in front of them.
He isSulu, is to use"Tiger".The well-known generals of the Red Army were not afraid of sacrifice"One-armed Major General".He was the most outstanding communist fighter of the Communist Party of China.
To understand Sulu, we can start from the relationship between Sulu and several people, and it is these people who connect Sulu's life!
Sulu is a resolute and fierce and brave man, he has dared to speak and do since he was a child, and he is full of hard work. Such a person is easy to go astray if he makes a mistake, thenWho pointed the way for Sulu and got him on the right path?
Growing up at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Sulu lived in poverty, oppressed by the feudal ruling class on the one hand, and exploited by the landlord class on the other. The hardships of life made Sulu determined to change his current situation since he was a child.
He thought that the collapse of the Qing ** rule would bring changes to his life, but in fact, Sulu still lived a poor life, and even under the oppression of the landlord class, he couldn't even eat. At that time, Sulu, who was still a teenager, could only go out to find a hard job due to the oppression of life, and he also realized that he could not rely on others, and in the end he could only change everything by himself.
"It's very tiring to pull a cart, and it's common for your feet to get blistered at the end of the day. ”
According to Sulu's recollections, he worked harder and harder in the days of pulling the cart, but the money in his pocket became less and less, and the exhaustion of his body and the constraints of life made him think about the direction of life again.
"The future of China depends on our youth, on our struggle and resistance, we will one day drive the enemy out of this land, the workers' movement is our way of struggle, the workers unite together, the workers' power will be incomparably stronger!"”
Sulu heard this speech on the way to pull the cart, and this speech was like a sharp sword that directly split through the confusion that shrouded his eyes, and he had a clear and clear understanding of the direction of the future.
The person who spoke this isAt that time, the youth *** told the people about the importance of the Chinese revolution and the future social life, and he spoke a lot, hoping to awaken more Chinese to participate in the struggle.
"The words at that time found me a way into the future. ”Sulu said.
After that, he actively participated in the workers' movement, and under the continuous study and practice, it was not long before Sulu, who was strong by nature and dared to work hard, was able to independently lead some activities, and at that time he was already a well-known advanced figureHe is one of the important figures of the Changsha workers' movement.
After this, he met another important person in his life.
In 1929, Su Lu, who had already joined the Chinese Communist Party, returned to Liuyang and formed with his lifelong friend and comrade-in-armsXiangdong guerrillas.
This person is
As the founding general, the ** is the person who accompanied Su Lu to pull the car together, and the two fellow villagers went out to work together, and under the speech and propaganda of the Communist Party of China, they chose to take the communist road together.
The two men had accumulated considerable practical experience in the continuous revolutionary practice and were already very familiar with the work of the workers' struggle, so they formed the Xiangdong Guerrilla Force on the basis of the original guerrillas. While carrying out combat missions, it also promoted the propaganda and dissemination of the Communist Party's ideology.
The two became more and more tacit in the process of revolutionary struggle, and Sulu also followed ** and gradually served as the secretary general, the commander of the Red Army company, and the commander of the regiment.
"Sulu and I are fellow countrymen, we pulled the car together, and then fought together, although Sulu's position was not high at that time, but he really wanted to be rewarded, his merits were immeasurable. ”
* After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he often talked to others about the time when Sulu and himself were engaged in revolution.
"Sulu, don't look at his straight temperament, he is not afraid of the task at all, he will do whatever is the most bitter and tiring. As soon as the gunshot rang out, he swooped out like the bullet. ”
* It is not an exaggeration to say that Sulu at that time was indeed full of enthusiasm for the revolution, he was a person who dared to fight and dare to do, and he only knew obedience in the face of tasks, and did not know what fear was.
Due to his outstanding performance in several anti-encirclement wars and in the course of the Long March, his position has been continuously improved, and even so, he will still appear at the forefront of the war.
Sulu's original nameSu Dayu, As for how the name Sulu came about, this has to mention the third important person in Sulu's life.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the clarion call for the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also sounded. But Sulu, who had experienced the Great Revolution, could not trust the Kuomintang. For the party at that time asked them to participateTraining course for anti-Japanese military and political cadresrequest, he could only swallow his anger and endure his unhappiness to participate.
Not because of him, just because this is on the side of the KuomintangYan XishanOrganized, seeing that the people who used to be in our party have now become their own instructors and classmates, not to mention how unhappy Sulu is in his heart.
Su Lu, who has always had nothing to say about obeying orders, seems to have made a mistake this time, and at the same time, there are many ** like Su Lu, they all expressed their dissatisfaction with the management of the Kuomintang instructors, and even discussed in private to leave together, not wanting to be educated here.
At this time, the chief who was in charge of these communists who were sent to study under Yan Xishan was, that is, he gave Sulu this name, and it was he who profoundly influenced Sulu at that time.
After hearing many non-commissioned officers' complaints about studying under Yan Xishan, they adopted the method of talking in turn to help each non-commissioned officer let go of the mustard in his heart.
"What's the name of this comrade of yours?”Pretending not to know, asked.
Su Dayu”
"What?”Pretend not to hear clearly.
Su Dayu”Su Lu replied angrily, Su Lu saw it clearly*** This is ridiculing him.
"That's angry?Su DayuNo wonder you want to slip away, Su Dayu, where do you want this fish to slip back?I don't think your name is good, if you change it, you can stay with peace of mind. ”
"Change your name?What name will make me stay?”Sulu was confused by ***, how could he change his name to make him stay willingly?
"That's it, it's better to change to Lu, you see a big fish pressing on top of the Japanese devils, pressing them and having no place to turn over, how about frustrating their prestige?”
"Sounds good!Good!”
Since then, Su Dayu's name has been changedSulu, Su Lu also let go of the mustard in his heart, he knew that *** meant that all tasks today must be based on the premise of resisting Japan, and only by driving out the Japanese invaders can the future tasks be realized.
During the study period, ** served as their guide, imparting a lot of military knowledge and combat experience to Sulu, and providing a lot of help for Sulu's future military operations.
Sulu was a practical person, and everything was about doing things in a down-to-earth manner, which was quite prominent in his war career.
Whether it was the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, Sulu has been at the forefront of the war, and in the face of the disturbances in the officialdom, Sulu is not so concerned. After all, as soon as he is on the battlefield, Sulu likes to say:"Let me see!”。
Sulu likes to charge, but it's not foolproof. During the War of Liberation, his hard-working and hard-working character finally made him taste the price.
The battle took place in:Liberation of TaiyuanIn the process, the 184th Division under the command of Su Lu was ordered to attack outside the east gate of TaiyuanRed House Stronghold.
The terrain of the Red House stronghold is not conducive to our army's attack, first, the terrain of the Red House stronghold is in an open area, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and second, the enemy's pillboxes and mines are densely and widely distributed, and our side has a great disadvantage.
Under such circumstances, the 184th Division has not been able to capture the stronghold of the Red House, and the morale of our army has also been hit. At this time, Sulu seemed to have made up his mind, and led a team of commandos to run directly to the front line, leaving only the sentence "I'll take a look!".”。
Sulu led the assault team to start the demining work, and as long as the demining can be carried out, there is hope for the subsequent strong attack. But Lady Luck didn't favor SuluThe demining squad set off a chain of mines, instantaneous, ** sound endlessly.
When the ** slowed down a little, Sulu only saw the corpses in one place and the soldiers who were blown up with missing arms and legs, but Sulu didn't have time to be sad.
"Warriors!Rush!Avenge the dead comrades!”
In this way, the assault team kept opening the way in front, and even though people were falling all the time, the assault team kept moving forward. The follow-up troops also followed the pace of the assault team and launched a strong attack on the Red House stronghold.
"Hit!Hit hard!”At this time, Sulu didn't notice that his arm was already bloody and fleshy, and he only had the idea of winning this war.
"Deputy division commander, you go with us first, you are too seriously injured!”
"I don't need a stretcher, I can walk by myself, you don't need a stretcher, comrades!”
The guards saw that Sulu, who was too seriously injured, had no choice but to help Sulu withdraw to the field hospital. But in the end, Sulu still didn't save his right arm and left him disabled.
Later, when the war ended, his old friend went to visit him in the hospital, and when he saw his empty right hand, tears were left in his eyes.
"What are you crying about, I'm miserable and I'm not dead, I can't make a revolution without a hand?Even if you only have one hand, you can still afford it. ”
Although the optimistic Sulu entered the post after the war, it was really not good to fight, and the organization could only give him some logistics work. Although he was unwilling and unadaptable, he also worked diligently for 5 years.
Until 1955, Sulu, who was in the prime of life, received an arrangement from his superiors to let him leave. Su Lu has fought for half his life, he is a master who can't be idle, and early retirement seems to be a good thing, but for Su Lu it is more uncomfortable than asking for his life.
But in any case, Sulu's work can't be done anymore, and Sulu also knows that first, he is a disabled person, and there are indeed inconveniences in his work, and second, new talents also need positions, and it is time for him to give up this position.
"The organization arranged for me to leave my job to recuperate, and I obeyed the decision of the organization, but I want to ask for resignation but not recuperate, and I can be assigned another position so that I can have something to do. I'm still in the prime of life, I'm in good health, I can do a lot of work, just let me go to the warehouse. ”
In the face of Sulu's positive demands, the organization finally had no choice but to agree.
In September 1955, Sulu went to the warehouse as usual to start a day of patrols, and in the middle of the inspection, his subordinates rushed in in a panic.
"Treasurer!"Treasurer!Someone is looking for you!”
"What are you panicking about, what's going on, who's looking for me?".”
"It's the troops, they want you to go to Beijing!”
In this way, Sulu followed the person who picked him up and went to Beijing without preparation.
When Su Lu arrived in Beijing, he learned that he had come to Beijing for the award ceremony, and he asked the chief.
"Conferral of titles?To whom, to me?I can't afford this!”
"If you can't afford it, the Prime Minister will tell you in person tomorrow!”
"Prime Minister!”
At this time, Sulu was completely silent, and he did not expect that the prime minister would personally confer the title on him. And then the beginning happened.
** Answered a question that Sulu didn't have time to ask. Yes, even if the war is over, his contribution will not be forgotten, history will remember, and the people will remember.
Sulu was about to leave Beijing in a burst of congratulations, but before he could pack his belongings, he received a new appointment from the organization, appointing him asDeputy Commander of Shanxi Provincial Military Region。The Prime Minister is a careful man, taking into account the discrepancy between his rank and his position, so that there will be no doubts.
Sulu has been on the job for almost 20 yearsIn 1976, Sulu died of illness.
In his life, General Sulu has experienced the most thrilling and tragic battlefields, and has also worked as the calmest and most ordinary storekeeper, this one-armed general has written an extraordinary military epic with his life, regardless of power, regardless of position, resolutely obey orders, and prove with his own actions that he is an excellent Communist Party member and an excellent communist fighter.
