"To have an important conversation with you. "In 1980, the deputy political commissar of the Navy, Du, received a notice. He felt a little uneasy in his heart, and understood the content of this conversation.
* It was decided to transfer him to the post of commander of the Lanzhou Military District, but he has been in the Navy for almost 20 years and is full of affection for the Navy. Although he is 68 years old, he only hopes to sail on this ship until retirement.
After learning about Du Yide's thoughts, Comrade Xiaoping, who strongly recommended him to be the commander of Lanzhou, talked to him. After the two met, before Du Yide could speak, he told him about the new arrangements for the work of the navy.
Your navy work and some ideas are left to Geng Biao to handle. After hearing this, ** paused for a moment, took a puff of cigarette, and said something earnestly.
After listening to Comrade Xiaoping's words, Du Yide immediately stood up: "I obey the arrangement of **!" "So, what did Comrade Xiaoping say? Why did General Duyid agree?
Du Yide was born in 1912 in Huangpi County, Hubei Province. At the age of 15, when the Northern Expedition was in full swing, he was deeply influenced by revolutionary ideas and returned to his hometown to join the Red Guards.
Two years later, he joined the Red Army with the Red Guards and was incorporated into the Eleventh Army. He made many feats with his courage and strength, and even the Kuomintang troops were afraid of his might. As a result, his position was also continuously raised, and at the age of 19, he was appointed commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 30th Regiment of the 10th Division of the Red Fourth Army, at the age of 21, he was appointed political commissar of the 29th Regiment, and at the age of 24, he was appointed political commissar of the 89th Division.
During the Long March, he led his troops to prepare for a rendezvous with the main force. However, the rain for several days exposed them to enemy pursuit, and they were lost in an almost identical wood.
Faced with a life-and-death situation, Du Yide successfully led the team to join the large army by distinguishing the thickness of the bark.
Duyid made a name for himself in the army because of his bravery and courage to fight tough battles. In the Battle of the Hundred Regiments in 1940, he served as the deputy brigade commander of the New Fourth Brigade of the 129th Division, and wanted to uproot more than 10 strongholds and more than 30 pillboxes on the enemy's 60-kilometer-long front to break the Japanese defense.
However, this highway is located in the heart of our base area, and the Japanese army's defense system has a great influence on the Japanese army and civilians, and the enemy, who is well aware of this, attaches great importance to it.
However, Du Yide was not afraid of difficulties, and decided to first cut off the defensive line of the Japanese army, so that they could not care about each other, and then quickly uprooted a number of enemy strongholds, completely disrupting the enemy's deployment.
In the battle of Wang Gaolu, he gave full play to his fighting style, and within 3 days, he successively took Yaocun, Dongjiamiao, Guocun, Fanjiazhai, Hujiazhuang and other strongholds, and became famous in one fell swoop.
After that, he was promoted to the commander of the Second Military Region in southern Hebei, and led the army and the people to create a fighting method of transforming the village shape and adding tunnel warfare, which became a treasure of the local anti-Japanese victory.
Du Yide's spirit and combat experience are worthy of our study and reference.
1.After the tempering of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Du Yide's combat level in the War of Liberation was further improved. At this time, the Shanxi-Hebei-Lu-Henan Field Army formed the sixth column, Du Yide served as the political commissar of the column, and the commander was Wang Jinshan.
Compared with other columns, the Sixth Column was established relatively late and its equipment was relatively backward. Therefore, at first the enemy did not pay attention to them. But soon, they made the enemy realize their mistake.
In 1946, Liu Deng's army cut off the Longhai Line, the key to Chiang Kai-shek's transportation, through a long-distance attack, and Chiang Kai-shek was angry and anxious when he heard the news. In order to take revenge on our army, he decided to launch a surprise attack on our army while our army was resting.
Before the battle was launched, the commander of the enemy division arrogantly said that in the face of the menacing attack of our army, ** and *** were very worried. The troops had just finished a tough battle, and such a situation was very unfavorable to our army.
However, after looking at the map, he proposed two plans: "We have two choices, one is to withdraw the main force of our army to the north of the Yellow River for a short rest, and wait for the right time to annihilate the enemy going south; The second is to grit your teeth and fight a tough battle. ”
Chiang Kai-shek personally sent elite troops, gave them all their might, and was well prepared, so for these two options, even after an in-depth analysis of those present, it was impossible to make a decision.
In the silence, Wang Jinshan stood up, and at this moment, Du Yide also stood up and showed his attitude. Du Yide and Wang Jinshan of the Sixth Column are famous brave generals, and seeing their backs, it seems that the situation has taken a turn for the better.
With a 6:1 ratio of power between the enemy and us, how do you fight in this situation? ** Ordered, this unit was like a sharp sword, directly into the enemy's core, after two days and three nights of fierce fighting, the main regiment of the Kuomintang was proud of the six columns were beaten to the ground, and even captured the Kuomintang general Zhao Xitian hiding under the car.
1.The outstanding performance of the Sixth Column in the battle made Du Yide and Wang Jinshan win the attention of the whole army, and the name of the Sixth Column was no longer obscure. "Liberation**" commented that this battle affected the battle situation on the entire southern front, and its importance is self-evident.
Since then, the Sixth Column has become a sharp sword in Liu Deng's army. Du Yide once confidently said that the Sixth Column is good at tough battles, which is closely related to the personal charm of the commander. Wang Jinshan is known for daring to fight hard, and so is Du Yide.
2.* The great importance attached to naval construction has prompted the rapid development and growth of China's new naval contingent and become China's leading guarantee. In 1960, the Military Commission held an enlarged meeting, and after the meeting, the chairman held the hands of each general tightly, and always thought about the construction of the navy in his heart.
3.The outstanding performance of the Sixth Column in the campaign made Du Yide and Wang Jinshan attract widespread attention in the whole army. "Liberation**" commented that this campaign had a far-reaching impact on the entire southern front, and its importance is self-evident.
Since then, the Sixth Column has become the backbone of Liu Deng's army. Du Yide once proudly said that the Sixth Column specializes in fighting tough battles, which is inseparable from the personal influence of the commander.
Wang Jinshan is known for being good at fighting tough battles, and so is Du Yide. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the face of China, which was in ruins, he attached great importance to the construction of the navy, and he did his best to build a navy that could shelter the new China.
In 1960, the Military Commission held an enlarged meeting, and after the meeting, the chairman of the Military Commission, who was always concerned about the construction of the navy, held the hands of each general tightly.
When Du was the second political commissar of the Navy, he was particularly concerned. He stressed that the Navy is made up of talented people from all over the country, so unity is essential.
Work can only be carried out effectively on the basis of solidarity. Du Yide kept in mind the teachings of ***, humbly communicated with various organs and capable people, and the work of the navy gradually got on the right track.
However, by the 70s, with the rise of China and the discovery of large oil resources in the South China Sea, neighboring countries began to look at each other. On these grounds, Viet Nam is trying in vain to take our territory for itself.
They attacked our fishing boats and seized our Nansha and Xisha islands. However, we can no longer tolerate such behavior. Under the leadership of Comrade ***, in 1979, the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam officially began.
With the fierce offensive of our army on the eastern and western fronts, the invincible enemy was defeated. At the same time, however, Admiral Duyd, under the combat readiness order of the 1st class, realized that although our troops did not go head-to-head with the enemy at sea, the constant monitoring of the Soviet fleet showed that the enemy could attack our troops from the sea at any time.
Therefore, ** personally appointed Du Yide as the commander-in-chief of the navy, land and air forces of the Hainan front. Under the leadership of Du Yide and the efforts of all the officers and men, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam was successfully concluded.
At the summary meeting held after the war, ** happily said: "I know that victory must be ours!" Because there is Xu Shiyou in Guangxi, Yang Dezhi in Yunnan, and Du Yide on the sea. ”
Hearing the praise, Du Yide was very happy. Since the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yide has been fighting under the leadership of ***. In the War of Liberation, the Six Columns led by him and Wang Jinshan were the best in Liu Deng's army.
It can be said that ** witnessed Du Yide's growth and also gave him correct guidance on his military path.
In 1939, as soon as Du Yide joined the 129th Division, he was ordered to become the deputy principal of the Suiying School. For Duyid, who is bent on going to war, this is undoubtedly a huge confusion.
He found *** to express his determination to make a difference on the battlefield, rather than the idea of taking on the position of vice principal. "There will definitely be an opportunity to fight in the future. ”
Said with a smile, but Du Yide's heart was still full of contradictions. So, ** decided to help him solve this problem. He took a puff of his cigarette and said to Duyid: "Now the school has a heavy task, and it is recruiting the 7th batch of students.
Next year's struggle will be even more intense, and schools are an important place for training cadres. When you go to school, you must strengthen school building and raise the level of political and ideological education and military education.
The education in the school is all about fighting the enemy and serving the revolution. After hearing this, Du Yide felt deeply thoughtful and well-planned. He decided to obey orders and plunge into the construction of the school to prepare for future battles.
Although he could not go to war immediately, his heart was full of hope and determination, and he knew that as long as he persevered, he would definitely be able to realize his dream and contribute to the revolution.
Inspired by his teachings, he decided to take root in education rather than rush to the front. This experience led to a significant improvement in his political thinking and made him a rare political and military all-rounder.
Many years later, Du Yide still remembers what *** taught him, and constantly strives to improve his military literacy and tactical level. With bravery and determination, he quickly rose through the ranks during his time in the Red Army, winning many battles.
He was told: "You are a valiant warrior, but for a soldier, bravery is only a basic quality." Fighting a war requires not only bravery, but also knowing tactics. ”
This sentence was deeply imprinted in Du Yide's heart and became his motivation to improve his military literacy and tactical level. Because of his trust in Duyid's ability, he was entrusted with important tasks many times, and eventually made him an internationally known general Duyid.
In 1980, ***, who was deploying the Northwest Line, again turned his attention to Duyd. As the military region with the largest jurisdiction among China's seven military regions, the post of commander of the Lanzhou Military Region is vacant.
Faced with this key issue, Comrade ** thought repeatedly in his heart. In January, ** approached Duyid and spoke with him about the matter. As a veteran general who has experienced a hundred battles, Du Yide is well aware of the importance of the Lanzhou Military Region to the stability of the country.
However, he was approaching 70 years old at this time, and his physical condition did not seem to allow him to give it his all as much as he did when he was younger. He knows that there is nothing trivial about the affairs of the state. Du Yide is very happy about the trust of the old leader, but at the same time he is worried about himself.
Therefore, when he saw *** for the first time, he confessed his thoughts to ***: "Chairman, I have been working in the Navy since the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and I really don't have enough work experience in the Lanzhou Military Region ......However, as the old chief of Du Yide for many years, ** and everyone can see his ability.
After listening to his doubts, Comrade Xiaoping waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I believe that you are capable of this position." ”
When this sentence was spoken, Du Yide's blood boiled, and he immediately stood up and straightened his body, and responded firmly: "I obey the ** order!" "Comrade * undoubtedly knows Du Yide very well this old subordinate, and he knows very well that Du Yide is not really incompetent, but he is a little worried.
Therefore, in response to Du Yide's doubts, ** affirmed the old general with "can fight", not only expressing his position, but also expressing **affirmation of him.
Driven by the passion and duty of the soldiers, even in the face of difficulties, Du Yide did not hesitate to rise to the occasion. In 1981, Comrade ** inspected the troops, and he expressed his appreciation for the spiritual outlook of the officers and soldiers in the northwest region, and patted Commander Du Yide on the shoulder and said: "I am relieved to have you!" ”
