At the beginning of 1979, the war in southern Xinjiang was tense, and in order to better deal with the war situation, the ** Military Commission held a self-defense counterattack meeting in the Great Hall of the People. ** At the meeting, it was emphasized that "there is no problem with ground deployment, but it is also necessary to be aware of the possibility of enemy attacks from the sea." ”
As soon as his words fell, he set his eyes on Du Yide, deputy political commissar of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy, and said firmly: "Comrade Du Yide, I think you should go there." ”
Du Yide, a talented general in both the military and political fields, was promoted from company commander and instructor all the way to commander and political commissar of large units, changing leadership roles many times.
In the self-defense counterattack, he served as the commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force of the Hainan front, and won the victory with Xu Shiyou, Yang Dezhi and others. His outstanding performance was trusted and praised by ***: "He knew that we would definitely win, because there was Comrade Duyid at sea." ”
General Duyd's background was similarly poor, as was the experience of most Red Army soldiers. In order to support his family, he only went to private school for eight months to go to the landlord's house to herd cattle.
In 1927, when the Northern Expeditionary Army advanced into Hubei, Du Yide and his companions joined the Peasant Red Guards. Two years later, he joined the ranks of the Red Army.
During the years of the Revolutionary War, 21-year-old Du Yide (first from left) served as the political commissar of the 30th Division of the 89th Army of the Red Army. During one of the charges, he was unfortunately hit in the chest by an enemy bullet, and the soldiers immediately rushed him to the health center for rescue.
Zhang Guotao admired Du Yide very much and asked the Minister of Health to save him at all costs. Despite the poor medical conditions, the health center still used a piece of gauze soaked in salt water and pulled it into the wound many times, and finally barely saved his life.
After Du Yide's health recovered, the organization transferred him to the 91st Division of the Red 31st Army as a political commissar. However, Yu Tianyun, the commander of the 30th Army, remembered a shell gun that Du Yide had used, and asked him to leave this gun when he left the 30th Army.
Duyid was outraged by this, because he himself had captured this gun on the battlefield, so why should he give it to someone else?
Zhang Guotao and Yu Tianyun made a request for a gun belonging to the 30th Army, and Du Yide firmly believed that it was a gun of the Red Army and could not be handed over. Although under the coordination of Zhang Guotao, Du Yide temporarily handed over the gun, but *** expressed his appreciation for this, and emphasized that the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, and the route is also out of the barrel of the gun, and the gun cannot be handed over easily.
In October 1936, the Red First Army and the Red Fourth Front Army met, and Du Yide met *** to comfort him under the recommendation of **, and emphasized the principle that the party commands the gun, no matter how many difficulties the Red Army encountered, it could not go against the will of the people.
Mao Anying is the eldest son of *** and Yang Kaihui, born on November 24, 1922 in Changsha City, Hunan Province. In 1927, Mao Anying's parents, Yang Kaihui and ***, were arrested by Kuomintang reactionaries in Changsha, and Mao Anying was imprisoned with his mother.
In November 1930, Yang Kaihui was killed by Kuomintang reactionaries, and Mao Anying was sent to a nursery school, where the living conditions were very difficult, and Mao Anying also suffered from a disease called "Four Six Winds".
During the years of the revolutionary war, as the political commissar of the 6th Column of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region of the Military Commission, he successfully led the column to make remarkable achievements in military and ideological politics, and made great contributions to the victory of the Liberation War.
At the end of 1949, he served as the first secretary of the Southwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China and the vice chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Commission, shouldering more important responsibilities. In light of the current situation in the southwest region, he proposed that the most important task was to suppress bandits and collect grain.
However, Du Yide, commander of the South Sichuan Military Region, said at the group discussion that it is necessary to pay attention to the policy of requisitioning grain, and if there is no grain, it will not be levied. ** After seeing the transcript of Du Yide's speech, he immediately criticized his remarks at the conference, and stressed that completing the task of requisitioning grain is the policy, and if it is not tenable, it is impossible to talk about other policies.
**After the meeting during the work period in the southwest, in order to solve the doubts in Du Yide's heart, he decided to invite Du Yide to his home for dinner. When Du Yide walked in the door nervously, ** took the initiative to reach out and shook hands with him warmly, and said: "I may feel a little uncomfortable today, but have you figured it out now?"
My criticism today may be a bit harsh, but if you don't, you won't be able to stir up enough in your hearts. During the meal, ** patiently explained while serving food to Du Yide: "After the People's Liberation Army enters the city, our cadres and soldiers must eat food, and the city residents after the takeover also need food."
Only with food can we stabilize and formulate policies. If there is no food, then what policy is there to speak of? The proposals you have proposed are generally feasible, but may be somewhat difficult to implement in the current situation, so I have to criticize you harshly and make you feel a little touched. ”
After ***'s persuasion, Du Yide's heart knot was untied, and he assured ***: "Political Commissar Deng, we will go all out to complete the task." After returning to the South Sichuan Military Region, Du Yide's criticism was immediately conveyed to the leaders of the party committee, and they became nervous after hearing it, and they said: "Start acting immediately, no matter how much it costs, you must complete the task of requisitioning grain." ”
Under the condition of serious banditry and insufficient troops in southern Sichuan, Du Yide brilliantly completed the task of requisitioning grain, and was highly praised. **'s policy decisions and efforts have led to remarkable results in the work of requisitioning grain and suppressing bandits in the southwest region, and have consolidated the nascent people's political power.
Under the overall situation of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and defending the country, ** expressed his gratitude to Du Yide.
In February 1951, the Third Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, consisting of the 12th, 15th and 60th armies, prepared to fight in Korea. Chen Geng served as the commander and political commissar of the Corps, Wang Jinshan was the deputy commander, and Du Yide was the deputy political commissar.
**When meeting with Chen Geng, Du Yide and other leaders of the Volunteer Army, he said to them: "Now that the war in North Korea has been burned, we must hold North Korea and not let the United States occupy it, and your task is to defend North Korea." ”
Generals such as Chen Geng and Du Yide have assured *** that even if they fight for their lives, they will resolutely complete the task and swear to protect North Korea to the death. Subsequently, Du Yide followed the Third Corps of the Volunteer Army to fight in Korea and participated in the Fifth Campaign.
In the fifth battle, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army fought continuously for more than 50 days, annihilated a total of more than 82,000 troops of the United ** and South Korea, and sniped the enemy in the Hansan and Jinhua areas near the 38th parallel.
In the Fifth Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Volunteer Army suffered heavy losses, especially the 180th Division of the 60th Army of the Third Corps, where Du Yide was located, was surrounded by the enemy when covering the transfer of the main force, and more than 3,000 people were captured.
This incident shocked Zhongnanhai's *** He inquired in detail about the situation of the 180th Division, and said sadly: "The 180th Division could have escaped, this situation should not have happened." ”
The lessons of the 180th Division were learned by everyone, and Wang Jinshan, Du Yide and other leading comrades of the Volunteer Army conscientiously summed up their experience and resolved to avenge the officers and men of the 180th Division in the next battle.
On October 14, 1952, the Battle of Shangganling, which shocked the world, began, and on the morning of this day, the enemy gathered 60,000 people, more than 300 artillery, more than 170 tanks, and more than 3,000 planes to attack Shangganling, which was defended by the Volunteers.
In the face of the enemy's offensive, the fighters, with their tenacious spirit, fought bravely with the enemy, and the position was lost several times.
In the battle of Shangganling, the enemy and us were in a small 3Fierce competition was fought on the 7-square-kilometer position. In order to occupy the high ground, the two sides continued to increase their troops and **, so that the scale of the battle gradually expanded.
After 43 days of fierce fighting, the enemy fired more than 190 shells, and the soldiers of our volunteers consumed 110,000 tons of supplies, the density of firepower exceeded the highest level of World War II.
With an average of 76 shells per square meter**, the fighting was extremely fierce. However, with the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, our volunteers held their positions and successfully blocked the advance of the joint army.
This battle laid the foundation for the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and was praised and commended by the world.
In July 1953, General **, as a representative of the Chinese People's Volunteers, signed an armistice agreement with Joint Commander-in-Chief Clark. The signing of this agreement marked the official end of the three-year War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
At the same time, General Du Yide also returned to China and reported to *** and *** on the specific situation of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. * After seeing Du Yide, he held his hand tightly and said excitedly: "It's good to see you return to China safely." ”
Du Yide remembered the soldiers of the 180th Division who died in the fifth battle, and his heart was full of pain and guilt. He expressed his grief to the 180th Division, but *** comforted him: "The problem of the 180th Division is complicated, and you can't be blamed.
You fought brilliantly in the Battle of Shangganling and made an important contribution to the overall victory. After the talks, ** specially invited Du Yide, he raised his wine glass, and said to Du Yide: "This time I want to thank you on behalf of ***."
It is precisely because of the dedication of you, the heroes of the battle, that our country can carry out construction with peace of mind. This gratitude is not only a personal praise for Du Yide, but also a tribute and gratitude to all those who have made efforts and sacrifices for the country and the nation.
When the news of the triumphant return of the volunteer soldiers came, ** held the wine glass and drank it all, Du Yide saw *** toast in person, and drank his wine glass without hesitation.
Soon after, Du Yide offered to resign, ** saying that he would talk about it later. Du Yide held a number of positions in the People's Liberation Army and made significant contributions to the modernization of the army.
After the situation in the country gradually stabilized, Du Yide returned to the navy again and shouldered the heavy responsibility of building the navy. In the same year, ** began to prepare for retirement, and in August, a meeting was held on the issue of rejuvenating cadres.
The leading comrades of the * discussed and decided to set up an advisory committee to give play to the role of the veteran comrades, to make the work of the party and the state more capable, and to gradually realize the rejuvenation of the cadres.
Du Yide, 68 years old, is already a member of the ** Military Commission and commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, and is eager to continue to serve the country and the people. However, as his health deteriorated, he was no longer up to the task.
Two years later, he offered his resignation to *** and ***. **There is a clear order that people over 70 years old are not allowed to serve as the main post of the military region, and Du Yide has reached the retirement standard.
After Du Yide resigned, ** rejected him, saying: "I haven't retired yet, what are you anxious about?" Wait for the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to discuss this matter. * I appreciate Du Yide's talent and hope that he will continue to serve the country and the people.
In September 1982, the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing, and Du Yide, as one of the leaders who accompanied the inspection, participated in this important meeting.
At the meeting, Duyid submitted a request for resignation, which was approved. Although he has retired from his leadership position, Du Yide has always been concerned about the old area of Dabie Mountain, and after his retirement, he often goes there to learn about the living conditions of the people.
Seeing that the people in the old revolutionary base area were still worried about having enough to eat, he felt very heavy. In order to solve this problem, he personally conducted a survey despite his old health, and proposed specific poverty alleviation measures and reported to **.
After seeing Du Yide's report, the deputy director of the Central Advisory Committee discussed with the responsible leading comrades and finally solved the problem of poverty among the people in the old revolutionary base area.
After his retirement, in 1988 he devoted himself to compiling the history of the Red Fourth Front Army. The following year, he actively participated in the compilation of the history of the Second Field War, leaving a precious document for future generations to understand this history.
In October 1996, General Du Yide was honored to be invited to participate in the activities held by the Gansu Provincial Party Committee to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of the Long March, and delivered a touching speech on behalf of the Red Army soldiers.
In September 2009, General Du Yide, who had dedicated his life to the Party and the people, passed away, and he dedicated his life to the Party and the people with his iron will and faith. Now, although he has passed away, his name will forever be engraved in the long river of history and will be remembered by the people forever.
