For some ordinary people, it is inevitable to experience a lot of ups and downs and stumbles in their lives, and for the founding generals, their lives are full of ups and downs, and it can even be said that they are full of dangers. Liu Zhuanlian, the founding lieutenant general who was the deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region, was received many times, he made great achievements for the revolution in his life, and countless honors on his body were enviable, but who would have thought that despite this, the general's revolutionary career was still uneven. It has now been revealed by later generations that the general has suffered unspeakable "grievances" on three occasions
Liu Zhuanlian is a native of Chaling, Hunan, born in 1912, although his family is poor, but his parents have great expectations for their children, so Liu Zhuanlian had the opportunity to study in a private school for four years, and the knowledge he learned from the private school also became a solid foundation for him to participate in the revolution later. At the age of 12, Liu Zhuanlian suffered a misfortune in his life, his father died of illness, and his mother remarried someone else. After that, the young sister and he were both given away. In 1926, the peasant movement swept the entire land of Hunan and Jiangxi, Liu Zhuanlian seized this opportunity to change his fate and joined the boy boy group. Because Liu Zhuanlian struggled resolutely and was intelligent, he was valued by his superiors.
In 1930, Liu Zhuanlian joined the guerrillas and was immediately appointed commander of the county assault company, when he was only 18 years old. Since then, Liu Zhuanlian has made persistent efforts to temper his youth in the war, and his position has also been promoted again and again, successively serving as the battalion commander, regiment commander, and division commander of the Red Sixth Army. The political commissar of the Red Sixth Army is **, and he is very fond of Liu Zhuanlian, a young general, and introduces him as his favorite general. During the Long March of the Red Sixth Army, Liu Zhuanlian led the troops and fought a lot of tough battles and vicious battles, and made great contributions to the northward movement of the troops. In 1936, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps and the Red 32nd Army formed the Red Second Front Army, and Liu Zhuanlian was promoted to division commander. Just when Liu Zhuanlian led the troops to continue the campaign, the gunfire at the Lugou Bridge shocked the whole country.
* After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, out of the general interests of the country, our party and the Kuomintang carried out the second cooperation and united with the outside world, and then the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army. Liu Zhuanlian, at this time, served as the commander of the 717th Regiment of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division, as one of the first 15 regiment commanders of the Eighth Route Army, Liu Zhuanlian's qualifications and abilities can be seen. However, what Liu Zhuanlian didn't expect was that during the Anti-Japanese War, he suffered the first "injustice" in his life
At that time, when Liu Zhuanlian led his troops to resist Japan on the front line, his newly married wife was molested at the station, and this person was the leader of a certain unit. Liu Zhuanlian was very angry, found the party involved and quarreled, and in the end, the matter went to his old leader. ** In the end, I chose "50 boards each". Liu Zhuanlian was a little unacceptable to this result, and when he was depressed, he also went to live in his wife's place for two days while inspecting work. When the leader learned about it, he seized Liu Zhuanlian's "handle" and said that he had left his post without permission, and immediately removed him from his post.
Liu Zhuanlian was very angry, on the one hand, he complained to his superiors, and on the other hand, he reported to his superiors to go to Yan'an for treatment. ** The Central Military Commission received Liu Zhuanlian's report and was very responsible, and immediately instructed the relevant departments of the General Political Department to investigate the matter. First of all, ** canceled the punishment of the 359 Brigade Party Committee for Liu Zhuanlian, and then rehabilitated his reputation. Later, after Liu Zhuanlian recovered from his illness, he returned to the army and served as the chief of staff of the 359 Brigade. At this time, the 359th Brigade was carrying out a large-scale production movement in Nanniwan, and Liu Zhuanlian immediately threw himself into the vigorous large-scale production movement after he arrived. The first injustice in Liu Zhuanlian's life ended like this, and the second injustice in his life was in 1947.
In 1945, Liu Zhuanlian led the second detachment of the Eighth Route Army south to leave Yan'an, and just as they crossed the northwest of Shanxi and crossed the Luliang Mountain, the Japanese invaders announced their unconditional surrender. Liu Zhuanlian, who was continuing to lead his troops southward, immediately received a new order from his superiors: stop going south and immediately advance to the northeast. Liu Zhuanlian did not dare to delay, immediately changed the direction of the march, and they did not stop, and after two months of continuous marching, they finally arrived in Shenyang. At this time, according to the instructions of the superiors, the troops also recovered the original number "359 Brigade" from the second detachment to the south Half a year later, Liu Zhuanlian as a tiger general, dared to fight and dare to rush, he led his troops from Liaoyang, Anshan, all the way to Heilongjiang, from South Manchuria, East Manchuria, all the way to North Manchuria. In April 1946, Liu Zhuanlian led his troops to liberate Harbin.
In the fierce battle with the enemy, Liu Zhuanlian sent a team to cooperate with other brother troops to eliminate Xie Wendong, Li Huatang, Zhang Yuxin, and Sun Jiurong, known as the "Four Flagpoles" of the Northeast bandits. These bandits were completely annihilated, laying a solid foundation for our army to recuperate and establish a base area. At the beginning of 1947, the 359th Brigade was ordered to be reorganized into the First Independent Division of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, and Liu Zhuanlian still served as the division commander. It was at this time that Liu Zhuanlian encountered the second "difficult peace" in his life
In 1947, he commanded the Northeast Army to launch three "Lower Jiangnan Campaigns", and because the first and second Lower Jiangnan Campaigns were fought well, ** dared to launch the third Lower Jiangnan Campaign. In the first and second battles of the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Zhuanlian led his troops to fight well, but in the third battle of the south of the Yangtze River, he made a mistake, and this battle was the "Battle of Weizigou".
When he went to the south of the Yangtze River three times, Liu Zhuanlian was ordered to lead his troops across the Songhua River and go to the Dehui area to eliminate the enemy who reinforced Dehui. However, just as Liu Zhuanlian led his troops to the Dehui area, he received a new order, and his superiors asked him to turn around and march westward, and arrive at the designated place the next day to assemble and stand by. After receiving the order at the critical moment, Liu Zhuanlian did not dare to delay, and immediately instructed the troops to turn the forward into the rearguard and the rearguard into the forward, and quickly advance to the west. On the second day, Liu Zhuanlian arrived at the predetermined place with the vanguard troops, and before the large troops in the back arrived, while Liu Zhuanlian was waiting for the rest of the troops, he received a new order from the Eastern General Headquarters.
It turned out that in the Battle of Gushantun, the enemy sent troops to reinforce the army, and the order issued by ** was to ask Liu Zhuanlian to lead his troops to destroy this group of reinforced enemies. At this time, the army led by Liu Zhuanlian was a battalion, and the enemy was a division. If you have to wait for the main force to arrive, I am afraid that the enemy has completely left, and after thinking about it, Liu Zhuanlian finally decided to take a battalion of troops to block it. They chose the location in Weizigou. At Weizigou, Liu Zhuanlian led his troops to fiercely block the enemy, but because the disparity between the enemy and our strength was too great, the enemy finally ran south. ** Angry when I heard the news.
At this time, the 2nd Vertical and 5th Division of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army won a victory in Gushantun and eliminated many enemies, and if the enemy's division was stopped and then destroyed, the results of the battle would be expanded and the situation of the battle would be further tilted towards our army. The meat brought to the mouth was not eaten, and the **, who has always been taciturn, lost his temper at the headquarters, and he said: "The division commander should be shot." "* The division mentioned is the first independent division, and the division commander is Liu Zhuanlian. At this time, Liu Zhuanlian was still guilty, and he also knew after the war why the main force did not keep up, it turned out that other leaders in the division were cooking in the back and avoiding the fighters, so they failed to keep up in time. When the words of ** reached Liu Zhuanlian's ears, the first thing he felt was grievance. This incident also became the second "difficult to settle" in Liu Zhuanlian's revolutionary career
Later, Liu Zhuanlian was not shot, but was demoted to the Third Independent Division and became the deputy division commander. Although Liu Zhuanlian was the deputy division commander at this time, because the division commander had been transferred away, and the superiors had not yet sent a new division commander, he was also regarded as the "number one leader" in the division. A month later, Liu Zhuanlian led the 3rd Independent Division to bravely fight the enemy, eliminated an enemy regiment on the outskirts of Jilin, and captured its commander. After the war, Liu Zhuanlian was promoted to the commander of the 3rd Independent Division.
In 1948, there was no small battle to be fought in the entire Northeast, and the 3rd Independent Division was incorporated into the 10th Column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army and reorganized into the 29th Division, and Liu Zhuanlian succeeded as the division commander. In September, the Battle of Liaoshen broke out. Just when the Battle of Jinzhou was in full swing, the 10th Column received the arduous task of guarding the defense line of Black Mountain and Dahushan and blocking Liao Yaoxiang's corps. Liu Zhuanlian was a fierce general, and his 29th Division was placed by the commander of the column, Liang Xingchu, in the western section of the Montenegrin front. On October 23, the enemy launched a frantic attack on the defense line of the 10th column with the strength of 5 divisions, plus aircraft and artillery. The 29th Division, as a frontal defensive force, suffered a devastating blow from the enemy, but despite this, none of the soldiers of the 29th Division retreated under the leadership of Liu Zhuanlian.
When Liang Xingchu was destroying the fortifications, the soldiers of the 29th Division swore to block the attack, and the enemy rushed up, so they engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the enemy, no matter how difficult it was, the 29th Division finally defended the position for three days and three nights. On October 26, 1948, ** led the main force of Dongye to Dahushan and Montenegro. Under the order of **, the PLA soldiers launched a counterattack against the enemy, and after this battle, Liao Yaoxiang's corps was destroyed. At the end of the Liaoshen Campaign, Liu Zhuanlian followed the Dongye army south, and after that, he led his troops to participate in the Pingjin Campaign.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Zhuanlian successively served as the commander of the 41st Army, the vice president of the PLA General Senior Infantry School, and the deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region. In 1955, when the title was awarded, Liu Zhuanlian did create a "miracle", as early as 1936, he was the division commander, and in 1949, in 13 years, he was still "standing still" and was not promoted, but, with his military exploits and contributions, he was finally awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and at the same time, he also won three first-class medals. After the end of the special period, Liu Zhuanlian returned to serve as deputy commander and adviser of the Shenyang Military Region.
