In the history of our army, a number of famous generals have emerged, and General Li Da is an outstanding member of them.
In 1972, ** and *** called Li Da for work, and asked in **:"Have your writing hands been shaking lately? ”Li Da thought for a while and said"My son won't tie my shoes. ”
Throughout Li Da's life, not only *** and *** have a good relationship with him, ** and others also have a good relationship with Li Da, this Li Da, who has been the chief of staff all his life, is amiable, has a gentle personality, and is very calm when it comes to major events, even in the case of anger, he will only say three words lightly:"Play the piano around!
Why did he ask Li Da in ** "Do your writing hands tremble", and why did Li Da answer "My son doesn't tie my shoes"?
Next, let's walk into Li Da's eventful years together, learn about the interesting things between him and ***, and feel the great feelings of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries.
On April 19, 1905, Li Da was born in a peasant family in Meixian County, Shaanxi Province.
Li Da's arrival made the life of the already poor family even more difficult, but the grandparents and parents were extremely happy, because the child is the hope of the family.
In order to allow Li Da to go to private school, the family saved money. However, the tuition was still not enough, and in the end, my father went out and borrowed all the relatives to make up the tuition fee.
Decades later, Li Da recalled his childhood years and said with emotion: "The whole family sacrificed too much for me to go to school, and I can have today's results, all thanks to my parents who let me study in a private school for five years under such difficult conditions." ”
Li Da lived up to the expectations of his parents and grandparents, he was a smart and hardworking child in his studies, and in 1922, Li Da was admitted to middle school, and later to Shaanxi Provincial Normal School.
In 1926, Li Da was admitted to the Second Military Academy of the Northwest Army founded by Feng Yuxiang, and was later appointed as the platoon commander and brigade commander of the 2nd Group Army of the Revolutionary Army. In 1930, after the Central Plains War, Li Dasuo's department was incorporated into the 26th Route Army.
In 1931, when the Chinese revolution was at a low ebb, some people in the revolutionary camp wandered, wavered, and even defected to join the Kuomintang or break away from the revolutionLi Da still made the right choice in life and participated in the Ningdu riots led by our party。Li Da was responsible for receiving food and wages during the uprising and made great contributions to the uprising.
After joining the Red Army, Li Da served as chief of staff of the First Independent Division of Xiangdong, and began his legendary career as chief of staff.
In November 1932, the 1st Independent Division of Xiangdong was included in the Red 8th Army in Yongxin, Jiangxi, and Li Da served as the chief of staff of the army.
During Li Dachu's tenure as chief of staff, he conducted a statistical analysis of all aspects of the army, and then found General ** to report on his work. **After hearing this, he said happily: "You Li Da has so many ghost ideas, so many complicated things, after your combing, it is like a big fat man who has become a beautiful girl after changing left to right." ”
Soon after, Xiao Ke went from the ** revolutionary base to the Hunan and Jiangxi base areas to serve as the commander of the Red Eighth Army, and Li Da served as the chief of staff of the Red Eighth Army.
Shook said when recalling working with Li Da: ".Li Da not only has many ideas, but he is also very good at fighting. In the winter of 1933, our army retreated westward from Yongxin, and Li Da led his troops as the rearguard. After analysis, he concluded that the enemy army was likely to pursue, so he decisively hid in the trenches on the side of the road. As he expected, the enemy pursued our troops and began to attack, at this time, he let the troops remain still, and when the enemy completely entered the ambush circle, he launched a fierce charge, and at once the enemy broke the enemy's troops, capturing more than 10,000 bullets. Li Da has fought a lot of victories like this. ”
General Schoke. During his tenure as chief of staff, Li Da bothGood at anticipating enemies, tooGood at advising。RightConstruction of troopsMilitary technical training and management educationaspects, all very well done.
At that time, the Red Eighth Army was a unit lacking training in a guerrilla environment, and Li Da improved himself in various aspects, such as drafting telegrams, issuing orders, and deploying battles to teaching soldiers to practice assassination and bomb dropping.
In October 1934, Li Da led the Red Sixth Army through Hunan, Guangxi, and Guizhou, crossing more than 2,500 kilometers of enemy areas.
In order to minimize the sacrifice of the soldiers, Li Da divided the troops into multiple squads and marched in dispersion, so that the enemy did not know that the main force was in **, and then sometimes rendezvous, sometimes separated, sometimes east and west, so that the enemy was exhausted. In the end, Li Da led the troops to join the **Red 2nd Army Corps.
On August 15, 1945, after Japan announced its unconditional surrender, China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression won the final victory.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek began to actively plan how to realize his dream, and he invited him to Chongqing three times for negotiations.
At that time, the matter of going to Chongqing to negotiate affected the hearts of countless people. As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek was not a gentleman, but a man who "did not keep his word" and "went back on his word," and it was undoubtedly dangerous to go to the territory of the Kuomintang to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek.
However, after repeated measurements and comprehensive arrangements for the work in Yan'an, he flew to Chongqing on August 28, 1945.
**Going to the meeting alone, this news shocked the whole city of Chongqing, and Liu Yazi wrote a poem to praise *** as "great courage".
During the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chiang Kai-shek deliberately used the negotiations to stall for time, and then actively mobilized the army to prepare for civil war. On August 26, at a critical moment in the negotiations between the two sides, the Chiang Kai-shek clique began an invasion of the Shangdang area.
In order for our party to be able to occupy an advantageous position in the negotiations** The Military Commission successively instructed the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region to carry out a self-defense counterattack, and Liu Deng's army eliminated Yan Xishan's troops entering Changzhi

** and *** actively made the deployment and proposed".Fight the battle of Shangdang and support the Chongqing negotiationsslogan.
On September 17th,Li Da commanded the Taihang column to conquer Huguan City and annihilated a regiment。On the same day,Li Da annihilated 2,000 enemies in the city of the eldest son。Because of Li Da's excellent command ability, the six cities around Changzhi were controlled by our army, making Changzhi a "crab without feet".
After besieging Changzhi, the siege of the city became difficult. At that time, when the troops of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region began the campaign, their establishment was not yet full. Many regiments were substandard in numbers, poorly equipped and uneven, and lacked ammunition.
This is difficult for Li Da, Li Da asked *** for instructions on what to do, and **let him figure out how to solve it himself.
After careful analysis, Li Da worked out the measures to be taken by various troopsConcentrated heavy and short fire covers the assault, takenMelee combat, night combatIn order to avoid the enemy's advantage, adoptArtillery firing at close rangeClimb the ladder and climb the citywithThe tunnel bombarded the cityand other methodsOvercoming the disadvantage in equipment and achieving victory
On 19 12 July, the Shangdang Campaign successfully completed its mission, annihilating more than 30,000 people from Yan Xishan's army, and dealing a heavy blow to Chiang Kai-shek's military probing of our liberated areas.
***, who was in Chongqing, got the battle report and happily said to ***: "The better our troops fight, the safer we will be here." ”
On the other hand, Chiang Kai-shek, seeing that his conspiracy did not succeed, had no other way but to scold "Niang Xipi".
The great victory of the party is the proud pen of Liu Deng's army in the history of the war, and it is also the proud pen of Li Da.
In 1947, Li Da assisted *** to lead his troops into Dabie Mountain, which became a great turning point in the Liberation War.
Li Da has an outstandingness, that isAmazing memory, people who have met once, the name and appearance are still remembered after a few years; For the mountains and rivers on the map, such as passes, etc., it is even more memorized, and many place names can be memorized backwards. Li Da's super memory map ability provided great help for marching and fighting.
**Praise Li Da said:"Li Da is a living map, and his hand is amazing. ”
Li Da later served as the chief of staff by his side, and his cheerful personality and Li Da, who is almost always smiling, are together, and the two are like a pair of pistachios, in the words of the guards around him"As long as Commander Chen and Staff Officer Li are together, laughter is like a string of beads. ”
Li Da is capable, accurate in analyzing information, meticulous in drafting plans, and timely in implementing intentions"Our good Zhuge ".
After the victory of the Huaihai Campaign, ** said when reporting to ***:"Li Da is a good chief of staff. He is a walking map, and as long as he is there, he can work happily and efficiently. ”
After listening to it, I laughed too.
Chen Geng's evaluation of Li Da is more distinctive:"Li Da is sometimes 'as bold as the sky', but 'careful as a hair' and 'tight-lipped as a bottle'. ”
In the spring of 1953, the Korean war situation was basically stable, and I was very pleased, and in the conversation with ***, I thought of Comrade Li Da.
** said with a smile: "Li Da served as chief of staff during the Agrarian Revolution, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the War of Liberation, and he must also participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea." ”
** This is also agreed.
On April 18, the ** Military Commission appointed Li Da as chief of staff of the Chinese People's Volunteers to participate in the late operations to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
After Li Da came to Korea, he conducted a detailed survey of Shangganling, Wusheng Mountain and other places, and then gave his own suggestions for the construction of fortifications, which played a key role in the victory of the volunteer army.
Subsequently, he assisted Yang Yong, the commander of the Volunteer Army, to organize and deploy and command the summer counterattack.
After the war, Yi Da gave many valuable suggestions to the Korean people for their post-war construction work, so that they could be rebuilt quickly and effectively.
In 1955, the Chinese People's Liberation Army began to implement a military rank system. Li Da, then Deputy Minister of National Defense and Deputy Minister of the Director of Training Headquarters, was awardedThe rank of general
During those extraordinary years, Li Da was illegally detained by some people for six years.
Later, after the situation improved, Li Da recovered in Beidaihe.
In May 1972, ** and *** had been concerned about Li Da, so they called him ** and asked:"Do you write with shaky hands? After Li Da heard this, he immediately understood Ye Shuai's intentions, and replied with a smile"My son won't tie my shoes anymore. ”
Then *** and Li Da laughed in **, and ** was also very happy after hearing Li Da's words.
**Asked Li Da "whether his writing hand is shaking", the implication is that it isHow's the body's doing? Can you come out to work？Li Da replied, "My son doesn't tie my shoelaces recently," which means,I don't need my son to take care of me anymore, and my body is completely fine.
**and*** Li Da have known each other for decades, and they have a deep friendship with each other, and the two are very happy to know that Li Da is back to health.
In October of the same year, Li Da was sponsored by *** to serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, in charge of military training, foreign affairs and other work, and returned to the post he had left for 14 years.
In November 1992, ** wrote an inscription to "Li Da's Military Anthology": ".Resourceful and frequent
On July 12, 1993, General Li Da completed his glorious life.
In 1955, Li Da was awarded the rank of general, the Order of August 1 of the First Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom of the First Class, and the Order of Liberation of the First Class. In July 1988, he was awarded the Red Star Meritorious Service Medal of the First Class of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
In his decades of career as chief of staff, he has successively shared weal and woe with party leaders such as Ren Bishi and **, and shared life and death.
Li Da is absolutely loyal to the party, works hard for the people, and has strategized for the commanders he has assisted, wielding the golden iron horse, turning to the north and south of the river, and winning victory after victory.
Today, the prestige and achievements of Li Da and the proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation have forever remained in the land of the motherland and in the hearts of the people.
There is no time to be quiet, but there are people who carry the weight for us.
In this article, I would like to pay high tribute to the proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation!
