Among the generals of the republic, there are many fierce generals who can fight tough battles and vicious battles, and Li Tianyou is one of them. Whether it is in the battle of Pingxingguan, or in the battle of Pingjin, or in the stormy waves of Guangxi bandits, he can fully reflect his heroism, fearlessness, wisdom, composure, elegance and calmness.
In his glorious years, the regret of the Anti-Japanese War was particularly obvious. In the battle of Pingxingguan, as the commander of the 686th Regiment, he played a key role in the main attack force and showed outstanding military talent.
In 1938, as the deputy brigade commander and the first brigade commander, he led the troops to open up the anti-Japanese base area in southwest Shanxi. However, he was wounded several times during the agrarian revolution and his physical condition is worrying.
In order to solve health problems, he went to the Soviet Union with Liu Yalou, Zhong Chibing and other generals for recuperation and study. However, due to the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in the USSR, they were forced to stay in Ulaanbaatar.
Despite this, Li Tianyou always had the determination to return to China to resist the war, and finally returned to Yan'an in 1944 through various means and hardships. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was sent to Shandong, and then moved to the northeast.
In the northeast, he served as the commander of the 1st Column, commanded the Siping Defense Campaign, the Siping Reconquest Campaign, and also participated in important battles such as the Liaoshen Campaign and the Tianjin Campaign.
Li Tianyou, a rare military talent, strictly administers the army in the army, and also adopts militarized management at home. He has four sons and is adamantly against wasting food, even the old clothes he wears will make the eldest wear the younger to the old.
Second, old. Third, the fourth wears.
Under his influence, the four sons joined the army one after another, and the third son, Li Yaning, returned to the unit his father once commanded, that is, the 38th Army, which was known as the "Long Live Army".
This unit was the predecessor of the Higashino 1st Column. Li Yaning is very strict with the troops, and he pursues standards that surpass ordinary people. Perhaps he thought that this was the unit that his father once led, a force capable of fighting tough battles, and as a son, he could not let his father down.
In their home, there is a special "family photo", in which Li Tianyou and his wife sit in the front row, and their four sons in military uniforms stand in the back. There is actually a touching story behind this **, which is spliced together by two **.
Due to the different times when the four sons joined the army, when the youngest son Li Yaming joined the army, Li Tianyou had already passed away. In order for the family to have a group photo, the four sons went to the photo studio and took a photo with their parents, and then spliced together with their parents' ** to form a "family photo", leaving their common memory.
