Foreword Li Jukui, an outstanding Communist Party member, in 1928, he captured two Kuomintang division commanders alive to ensure the safety of the Long March team. In 1955, he led his team to discover China's first large-scale oil field, solving the problem of China's lack of oil resources.
In 1958, when Chairman *** saw a request for the re-awarding of the rank of general, he only glanced at Li Jukui's name and immediately approved the document.
At the time of signing, Chairman ** also repeatedly emphasized: "Without him, New China would have been founded at least ten years late!" Why, then, was he, with all his honors, not made a general until 1958?
Why would the Chairman say such a thing? Sacrificing personal interests for the sake of the national interest. In 1955, the award was in full swing.
In the early days of the founding of New China, China relied on imports for all the oil it needed, which was costly, and its economic development would be restricted by foreign countries.
In order to be able to strengthen our country in a short period of time, we must have our own oil **. Therefore, oil exploration has become an urgent problem for China to solve.
With his selfless spirit and firm conviction, Li Jukui resolutely accepted the important task and served as China's Minister of Petroleum Industry. Although he had limited knowledge of the oil industry, he was convinced that he was up to the job because he always put the interests of the country above his own interests.
Although he missed the opportunity to be one of the first generals to be awarded the title in our country, he never regretted it. Li Jukui's decision reflects his noble character and selfless dedication, and also makes us deeply admire.
After serving as a minister, Li Jukui led a team to conduct oil exploration in places such as the Gobi Desert and the Northeast Wasteland in Xinjiang while studying. After numerous attempts and field surveys, their work finally made a breakthrough and successfully found traces of oil in Karamay.
In September 1956, when the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, Li Jukui excitedly said in his speech: "The Karamay Oilfield in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region covers an area of 130 square kilometers, and the oil storage area is still expanding, and the recoverable reserves are expected to exceed 100 million tons. ”
The eldest son of the republic, who bears the hope of the new China's petroleum industry, was finally born in the northwest border of the motherland after the development of Li Jukui and others who were not afraid of difficulties and worked hard.
Li Jukui was transferred back to the General Logistics Department in 1958 as a political commissar and returned to work in the army. When evaluating his military rank, the Military Commission found that the number of generals was full, and Li Jukui was a well-deserved general, but he only hoped to be rated as a general.
He expressed his attitude: "If it's low, it's high, it's admiral!" This sentence shows his noble open-mindedness and fairness, which is admirable. The Military Commission handed over Li Jukui's supplementary title document to *** for review and signature.
** He praised the fierce general Li Jukui very much, and once said: "Without him, New China would be at least 10 years late!" Therefore, I deeply agree with the matter of making up for Li Jukui's title.
Li Jukui's personal experience is also one of the important factors for him to receive *** praise. He was born into a peasant family in Lantian, Anhua, Hunan, and although his family was poor, his parents did everything they could to get him to study in the hope that he would get ahead.
With the broadening of his horizons, Li Jukui realized that joining the army was the best way to protect the country, so he signed up for the Eighth Army Engineer Battalion of the National Revolutionary Army.
In that military era, it was normal for low-level soldiers to be punched and kicked, but Li Jukui was relatively rarely beaten because he was rigorous and did not make mistakes. In July 1928, Li Jukui saw the true face of the Kuomintang clearly, and under the influence of *** and others, he participated in the Pingjiang Uprising and joined the Communist Party of China.
The moment Li Jude joined the Communist Party, he became a staunch supporter of the Communist Party, and no matter what orders were given by his superiors, he would not hesitate to carry them out, even at the cost of his life.
After the Pingjiang Uprising, ** led his troops to Baisha to prepare to boost morale. However, just as *** was about to speak, a Red Army soldier suddenly pointed his gun at him.
In a critical situation, Li Jukui rushed forward without hesitation and used his body to suppress a Red Army traitor who tried to hurt ***. His heroic deeds were protected by the guards on the sidelines, and the traitor was eventually shot.
This incident made ***'s old subordinates praise him, saying that he was the one who "rescued a marshal from the gun". However, Li Jukui was not complacent because of this, he just smiled and took this matter to heart.
This incident was only the first demonstration of his bravery, and what really made him famous in the first war was his feat of capturing the Kuomintang division commander alive twice from 1930 to 1933.
1.Zhang Huizan, the commander-in-chief of the enemy front in December 1930, tried to attack the Red Army in the Wumenling area, but was forced into a ravine by the Red Army and was eventually captured alive by Li Jukui.
Li Jukui was the commander of the Red Ninth Division, and on February 26, 1933, he was sent to Dalongwei to reconnoiter the Kuomintang troops, with a strength of about one division and one brigade. He led the Red Army's Ninth Division to lurk near Dalongwei, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
He used binoculars to observe the position of the enemy division commander Li Ming, and while the enemy was defenseless, he led the infantry and machine gunners to rush forward together. Under the command of Li Jukui, the Red Army only took 40 minutes to annihilate the headquarters of the enemy's 52nd Division and a brigade of 3,000 people with a small ** (46 people), and at the same time captured the enemy's division commander Li Ming alive.
2.Zhang Huizan, the Kuomintang's front-line commander-in-chief, planned to attack the Red Army near Wumenling in December 1930, but was forced into a ravine by the Red Army and captured alive by Li Jukui.
Li Jukui was the commander of the Red Ninth Division, and on February 26, 1933, he was sent to Dalongwei to reconnoiter the Kuomintang troops, with a strength of about one division and one brigade.
He led the Red Army's Ninth Division to lurk near Dalongwei, waiting for the best opportunity to attack. He observed the position of the enemy division commander Li Ming through the binoculars, and while the enemy was defenseless, he led the infantry and machine gunners to rush forward together.
Under his command, the Red Army took only 40 minutes to completely annihilate the headquarters of the enemy's 52nd Division and a brigade of 3,000 people with a smaller ** (46 people), and at the same time captured the enemy's division commander Li Ming alive.
Li Jukui, twice won the victory with one enemy and one hundred, but also captured the enemy's division commander twice, and his outstanding military exploits are full of praise, and he is known as the "general saint". His contributions are much more than that.
The tigers on the Long March, leaving a precious legacy for their children After five failed anti-encirclement and suppression, the Red Army embarked on the road of the Long March, with many difficulties and dangers ahead, and the enemy set up many ambushes.
Li Jukui led his division bravely, led the leading troops to engage in fierce battles with the Kuomintang army, and opened up a road to victory.
In the process of the Long March team forcibly crossing the Dadu River, the most thrilling thing was the battle of the "Dadu River". It was a large river with a wide surface and a fast current, which the Red Army could not force through, and could only rely on boats as tools.
The Kuomintang knew that the Dadu River was a necessary place for the Red Army to pass, so they set up an ambush here in advance and took away all the nearby boats and boatmen in an attempt to prevent the Red Army from crossing the river.
However, in this extremely difficult situation, Li Jukui, the commander of the Red First Division, showed his wisdom and bravery. He scouted and eventually spotted two boats on a shore with several Kuomintang soldiers stationed nearby.
Keeping in mind the location of the ships and the number of enemy troops, he quietly retreated, and in the evening, he took several Red Army soldiers by surprise, captured them, and the two small boats also fell into the hands of the Red Army.
Soon after the ships arrived, the Red Army found the shipwright, and only one last step was left to succeed. Due to the scarcity of boats, the large number of Red Army, and the ambush set by the enemy on the opposite side, Li Jukui and others were very cautious in the process of crossing the river.
In order to ensure safety, Li Jukui sent 17 warriors as the vanguard to cross the Dadu River first. These warriors quickly got on the boats, but the Kuomintang also noticed their actions and launched a fierce attack on them.
Fortunately, Li Jukui and others continued to suppress the enemy's firepower, so that these 17 warriors were saved from danger. Under their guidance, the large army also successfully completed the task of crossing the river.
Li Jukui: There are no weak soldiers under strong generals! The victory of the Red Army's Long March was inseparable from the outstanding leadership of Division Commander Li. His loyalty can be seen, in order to avoid the enemy, he begged for nearly two months, and evaded the enemy's search three times, just to find *** and finally succeeded in meeting *** and others.
His tenacity and loyalty are admirable.
In both the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Li Jukui made important contributions, and he was a legendary hero who was feared. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he still actively served the country and the people.
When the Korean War broke out in 1950 and the United States tried to spread the flames of war to our country, Li Jukui once again stepped forward and made great contributions to the country. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he was mainly responsible for logistics support and transporting supplies to front-line soldiers.
Although logistics may seem inconspicuous, they play a decisive role in marching operations.
In the early days of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Volunteers faced the dilemma of lack of air force cover and bombing of logistics and transportation lines. Faced with this situation, Li Jukui put forward an innovative proposal, that is, to build prevention and control posts on the main transportation routes for transportation and supplies, so as to form a professional air defense army.
The implementation of this proposal has greatly reduced the loss of cars from the initial 40% to almost zero, and the transportation efficiency has been significantly improved. In addition, Li Jukui also led the logistics team to make fried noodles, which not only avoided open flames, but also solved the problem of starvation of the volunteers, and played a key role in promoting the victory of the war.
His contribution has been highly recognized by the state, so *** once appreciated him. In July 1981, Li Jukui, who was already 77 years old, served as an adviser to the ** Military Commission due to physical reasons.
His wisdom and contributions will always be remembered.
Despite his advanced age, Li Jukui has always insisted on contributing to the building of the country and the army, and refuses to be a "fictitious adviser" who does not care about it. Even while he was recuperating in the hospital, he copied five copies of the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" for his five children while he was ill, and emphasized the essence and purpose of the People's Liberation Army on the front page.
When he was done, he gave the manuscript to his children, reminding them to keep this glorious tradition in mind. Li Jukui passed away on June 25, 1995, but his contribution to the building of the country and the army will always be remembered in people's hearts.
At the last moments of his life, Li Jukui said firmly: "I, a loyal Communist Party member, have devoted my life to the pursuit of my beliefs and have no personal property.
However, these five hand-copied documents are the most precious 'treasures' he left to posterity. Looking back on Li Jukui's life, he selflessly dedicated his entire life and time to the country and the people, and even after the end of his life, his selfless dedication and unremitting spirit of self-improvement will remain in the world forever, inspiring the passion and courage of future generations.
