year,** revealed: Liao Hansheng wants to change
During the Spring Festival in 1975, ** accepted New Year's greetings from Su Yu, Liao Hansheng and Song Shilun at home. During the chat, ** suddenly looked at Liao Hansheng and said meaningfully: "Hansheng, you may need some changes. ”
Hearing this, Liao Hansheng was a little surprised, he stopped talking and asked Ye Shuai: "Ye Shuai......."However, *** stopped him and motioned that he didn't need to say more. So, what does this mean?
What is the result of this change?
The loyalty and heroism of Liao Hansheng's family: Father Liao Lanxiang and son Liao Hansheng both chose to support the revolutionary cause. In 1916, ** led a people's army in Sangzhi, Hunan, and participated in the democratic revolution led by Sun Yat-sen.
Liao Lanxiang was convinced that the path of ** was correct, so he decided to devote himself to the revolution and came to work in the ** army, and was called "Master Liao" by the local people. When the team of ** passed near Liao Hansheng's house, he and his friends ran to the roadside ridge to look, curious about the token behind the soldiers in the team.
However, Liao Hansheng explained that those tokens were called "Great Orders" and represented the arrival of the prefect, and the subordinates had to salute. His explanation made the friends very admirable.
* Look at the little boy in front of him and ask, "Whose child are you?" How do you know so much? The little boy was not afraid and replied, "I am a child of the Liao family, and my father's name is Liao Lanxiang." ”
* When I heard that it was an old friend's child, I smiled and said, "What a tiger father without a dog!" Your dad helped me a lot, I didn't expect you to be so good. "This little boy's courage and wisdom impressed **.
Soon after, ** participated in the Nanchang Uprising, and soon after, he was ordered by *** to come to the west to carry out the agrarian revolution. In the winter of 1928, he sent a letter to **, introducing the experience of leading the Red Army in army building and the experience of the workers' and peasants' armed secession struggle in Jinggangshan, and instructed the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to be changed into the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and began to create a base area for the armed secession of workers and peasants in Hunan-Hubei.
In 1929, he led his troops to establish the Hunan-Hubei Border Soviet District with Sanghe as the center, and Liao Hansheng was sent to Sanghe to work in Sanghe because of his outstanding talent and decisive courage to carry out the agrarian revolution.
Since then, Liao Hansheng has embarked on the road of revolution.
In the wave of revolution, Liao Hansheng was heroic and extraordinary, although he was not yet a party member, he resolutely did not give up his revolutionary belief and always walked in the forefront of the ranks. In difficult times, he offered to help find food, solving the problem of hunger for the fighters.
After returning to the guerrilla zone, he actively expanded his troops, led his troops to fight to the death against the local tyrants and inferior gentry, annihilated many reactionary forces in the vicinity, expanded the area of guerrilla activities, and vigorously supported the regular Red Army led by **.
In order to strengthen the strength of the Red Army, it was decided to integrate guerrillas with mature combat experience into the Red Army, and Liao Hansheng's guerrilla unit was among them. Liao Hansheng was excited to learn that he had become a Red Army, because he had always dreamed of becoming a full-fledged Red Army.
In 1933, he became a clerk in the 3rd Army of the Red Army, and in the same year he joined the Communist Party. After that, he was transferred to several units of the Red 3 Army as a commissar. After the Red 3rd Army and the Red Sixth Army Corps met, the number of the Red Second Army was restored, and the Red Second Army was in urgent need of cadres, and Liao Hansheng was changed to the deputy political commissar of the 6th Division of the Red Second Army and became part of the new cadre team.
On November 19, 1935, the Red Second and Red Sixth Army Corps embarked on the 25,000-mile Long March, and the young Liao Hansheng, as the political commissar of the 6th Army of the Red Second Army, also began his Long March for the country and the people.
Five days before his departure, which happened to be his 24th birthday, he wanted to go home to see his wife and children, but as the political commissar of the 1st Division, he could not let his selfishness affect the mood of the whole army.
Just as he was mobilizing the troops, his mother and wife arrived at the troops on foot for most of the day to see him off. They hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.
After leaving home, Liao Hansheng took the soldiers on the Long March. The three years as the political commissar of the division were the most arduous three years of the Red Second Army, but he overcame many difficulties with his tenacious will and achieved very good results.
He summed up three experiences: First, to be a model of heroic fighting, second, to be a model of expanding and consolidating the troops, and third, to be a model of maintaining ties with the masses. On the road of the Long March, he also made a surprise attack on Yanmen Pass and achieved a brilliant record of three battles and three victories in central Hebei.
In early October, the 120th Division crossed the Yellow River eastward and successfully recovered the county town of Ningwu in Shanxi Province, which was occupied by the Japanese army. When the soldiers walked into Ningwu County, they were stunned by the scene in front of them: the streets and alleys, courtyards and vegetable cellars were full of corpses of civilians brutally killed by the Japanese army.
Liao Hansheng immediately organized the soldiers to bury the dead compatriots and admonished everyone: "Only by driving the invaders out of our land can the Chinese people get rid of their suffering and live a happy life!"
We want to avenge our dead compatriots and comrades-in-arms! The warriors immediately responded, shouting: "Avenge the people!" Avenge the fallen comrades! Soon after, in the ambush at Yanmen Pass, the soldiers of the 716th Regiment avenged their compatriots and comrades-in-arms with their own actions.
On October 18, under the leadership of regiment commander He Bingyan and political commissar Liao Hansheng, the soldiers of the 716th Regiment braved the Japanese artillery fire, shouting the slogan of "avenge the people of Ningwu", and launched an attack on the Japanese army with superior strength and equipment.
After two days of fierce fighting, the 716th Regiment successfully killed more than 200 Japanese soldiers, destroyed 10 Japanese military vehicles, and successfully cut off the Japanese army's transportation lines. This battle provided strong support for the Kuomintang friendly forces fighting in Xinkou, and was highly praised by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang.
The ambush battle at Yanmen Pass, as a typical battle of the 120th Division in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, was recorded in the history of our army. This battle dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, so that they did not dare to underestimate the ** team.
In addition, the first at home and abroad also vigorously publicized the results of the Yanmen Pass ambush, calling it "the great victory of Yanmen Pass".
The 716 Regiment led by Huang Xinyan and Liao Hansheng once left a monument at Yanmen Pass, which was engraved with the inscription "67 martyrs here, please be careful of passing vehicles".
After that, they took over He Bingyan's position, went to the Jinchaji base area, and in the talc battle, they single-handedly annihilated a brigade of the Japanese army, setting the best result in annihilating the Japanese army.
At the beginning of 1939, they moved to Jizhong and used the code name of "Sixth Regiment of the Asian Department" to the outside world, referred to as "Sixth Regiment of Asia". Although the equipment does not look very good, they have won the trust of the people of Jizhong with their practical actions.
In the battle of Caojiazhuang, they first used 1 company to resist, and then used two battalions of troops to repeatedly attack the enemy's position, and it did not take long to capture the enemy's position, capture 2 light machine guns and 21 rifles, and beat the Japanese army to flee.
This is Huang Xinyan and Liao Hansheng, who proved their strength and courage with their actions.
When the enemy army approached Caojiazhuang step by step, the soldiers of the 716th Regiment struggled forward, while the local people fled for their lives. It happened that a family was doing a happy event, and when they heard the gunshots, the groom hurriedly took the bride's hand and ran out of the hall.
However, after the 716th Regiment fought fiercely with the Japanese army for a while, these fleeing civilians returned to Caojiazhuang one after another.
On that day, our 716th Regiment fought from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m., a full 19 hours. During this period, we didn't have to think about eating and drinking at all, because the local people helped us solve it.
The common people in the villages in the war zone brought us steamed buns, flatbreads, snacks, and boiling water, and even the masses behind the Japanese troops braved the danger of bullets and bullets to bring us food.
We don't have to worry about the wounded coming down from the front line, because as soon as one of the wounded comes down, the people will carry him down on a stretcher and then send him away in an ox cart ......"After the first battle, the attitude of the common people towards the 716 regiment became better and more enthusiastic.
In the future, as long as the 716th Regiment fought against the Japanese army, the people would not only not run away, but would even hide in their houses to watch the battle and see how the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese army.
In April, Liao Hansheng served as the deputy political commissar of the 120th Independent Brigade of the 2nd Division, led his troops to participate in the Qihui Annihilation Battle, and also served as the ** brigade commander, leading the soldiers to participate in the famous Chenzhuang Annihilation Battle.
In 1940, he re-served as the political commissar of the 716th Regiment and participated in the summer anti-"sweeping" campaign and the Battle of the Hundred Regiments in the northwest of Shanxi. At the beginning of 1941, he was sent to Yan'an to study, and successively studied at the Military and Political Academy and the Political College of the Eighth Route Army.
A year later, because of his excellent grades and outstanding performance, he became a representative of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, went to the ** Senior Party School to study, and spent three years there. In the autumn of 1944, He Bingyan and he cooperated again, one was the captain of the Fifth Brigade and the other was the political commissar.
The Fifth Brigade led by He Bingyan set out from Yan'an and finally arrived at Lushan after hardships. The Japanese set up many obstacles, and He Bingyan and Liao Hansheng fought and walked, braved artillery fire and cold to cross the Shahe River, and finally caught up with the large army.
In 1945, the Fifth Brigade came to the Xiangnan area, He Bingyan served as the commander of the Third Army Division, and Liao Hansheng served as the secretary and political commissar of the Xiangnan Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China, and also joined the ranks of the New Fourth Army.
Later, Liao Hansheng was transferred to work in the Executive Department of the Beiping Military Dispatch Office, but returned to Yan'an under the order of *** to devote himself to the Northwest Liberation Battlefield. In the Northwest Battlefield, Liao Hansheng served as the political commissar of the first column and has been working under the leadership of ***.
Even though he knew that *** was stern and had a bad temper, he was ready to be scolded by ***. He said: "Peng is always a powerful person, and sometimes he gets angry and scolds.
Working under Mr. Peng, I particularly admire his command and combat ability, but I still can't stand his majesty. ”
** Presided over an eight-day meeting in late May 1948 at the headquarters of the Northwest Field Army. At this meeting, the gains and losses of the previous period of operations were seriously summed up.
He first affirmed the "resoluteness, courage and speed" of the first column in battle, and then pointed out their shortcomings. At that time, Liao Hansheng was still young, and he thought that the first column had performed very well, so he stood up and argued with ***.
After the meeting, the leaders of the first column were left behind, and then asked them about the specific situation, and Lin Boqu, ** and others participated. At that time, Liao Hansheng said bluntly: "I have opinions and opinions on Mr. Peng's criticism of people being too harsh!" ”
Hearing Liao Hansheng's words, Lin Boqu immediately responded: "You can't only see Mr. Peng's strictness, but also see other aspects of him. His harshness is not just for you, but for everyone.
He did this just to make everyone work harder and strive for early liberation. The more you know Mr. Peng, the more you are severely criticized by him, the more you can feel his 'might' and 'virtue'. ”
Then, the son of Liao Hansheng's friend ** also opened his mouth to reprimand him: "How can you confront Mr. Peng at the meeting? Let's not say that he is your superior, just take the age of the two of you, you can't stand up to a senior who is older than you! ”
1.Liao Hansheng was ashamed of being criticized by Lin Boqu and **, and realized his mistake. This criticism also gave Liao Hansheng and others a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of ***.
Since then, Liao Hansheng has never lost his cool because of criticism. At a meeting, ** asked everyone what they thought of his frequent tantrums, and Liao Hansheng was the first to speak, suggesting that *** not to scold others when criticizing others.
** gladly accepted his suggestion, calling Liao Hansheng his good comrade and good friend. 2.On August 26, 1949, He Bingyan and Liao Hansheng led the First Army to liberate Lanzhou and Xining, liberating the whole province of Qinghai.
In 1952, Liao Hansheng served as the director of the Political Department of the Northwest Military Region; In 1954, he became the youngest deputy minister of defense and the only lieutenant general to hold the post at the time.
In 1955, Liao Hansheng was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. At the end of July 1957, ** was supposed to be the director of the Higher Military Academy, but due to health reasons, he was unable to take office.
Xiao Hua, deputy director of the General Political Department, came to the Military Academy to solicit opinions from the cadets of the campaign department who were about to graduate.
When Xiao Hua talked to Liao Hansheng, Liao took the initiative to express his desire to work in Xinjiang, despite the difficult conditions in Xinjiang at that time. However, Xiao Hua denied his request, telling him that the organization had decided to let him stay at the Military Academy as the dean.
Although Liao Hansheng was confused by this, he accepted the decision. Eventually, at the age of 46, he stayed on as dean. In August 1973, Song Shilun found *** and hoped to let Liao Hansheng work at the Academy of Military Sciences.
** agreed with this, and through hard work, finally under the instructions of ***, Liao Hansheng was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Academy of Military Sciences in December 1973. During the Spring Festival of 1975, Liao Hansheng and others came to ***'s house, and told Liao Hansheng meaningfully that he might have new changes.
Liao Hansheng was shocked, and motioned for Liao Hansheng to stop talking. ** Tell Liao Hansheng that he may be transferred to the Nanjing Military Region. Liao Hansheng expressed his resolute obedience to the organization's arrangement, and soon after, he was transferred to the Nanjing Military Region as a political commissar.
During the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission, Liao Hansheng was also specially instructed not to get too close to some people in Shanghai, let alone participate in their activities. Liao Hansheng nodded, indicating that he knew everything.
In 1983, Liao Hansheng was elected vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Sixth National People's Congress. During his tenure in office, he spent half of his time every year inspecting the grassroots units and listening to the voices of the masses.
He most often went to the old and young, the mountains, the frontiers, and the poor areas, because he came out of such areas, and the revolution in our country also went to victory from such areas.
In 1995, Liao Hansheng returned to the Honghu area where he had fought, and when he saw the people living in spacious small buildings, he couldn't help but sigh: "The peasants have lived a good life, and our blood has not been shed in vain!" ”
On October 5, 2006, Comrade Liao Hansheng, a great proletarian revolutionary and a time-tested and loyal communist fighter, died in Beijing at the age of 95 due to ineffective medical treatment.
He devoted his life to the cause of China's revolution and construction, and made great contributions to China's independence, liberation, and prosperity. His death is a great loss to China's revolution and construction, and is also deeply regretted by the Chinese people.
We miss him and extend our deepest condolences to him.
