In July 1937, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, a Red Army university graduate volunteered to go to the front and fight. However, his request was not approved by ** and he was asked to continue his old job.
**Behind him is Zhao Erlu) The general was hesitant about the appointment. This matter attracted the attention of ***, who personally talked to the general and persuaded him for a long time, but the general remained silent.
Patiently ask him: I've been talking for a long time, do you choose to accept the appointment yourself, or do you need me to give orders? Who is this general? He has such a big face that he asked *** to come forward to work in person, and he didn't respond for a long time?
He is Zhao Erlu, one of the 57 founding generals of the Republic. Zhao Erlu is a native of Yuanping, Shanxi, who joined the party honorably in 1927, and followed *** to Jinggang Mountain in 1928, and is an old man on Jinggang Mountain.
He served as a party representative, served as a regimental commander, and was later appointed head of supply for the 1st Red Army. Since then, Zhao Erlu has formed an indissoluble bond with logistics and supply work.
Although his popularity is not as good as that of Yang Dezhi and Yang Chengwu, the supply work is equally important. In practical work, Zhao Erlu invented a set of supply work systems for the Red Army. It is precisely these systems that have formed the fine work style of our officers and men, such as unanimity and economic democracy.
In the Supply Department of the Red First Army, Zhao Erlu often handled money, but he himself remained honest and not even greedy for a penny. Every time he raised money, he always handed it over without reservation, not even a penny.
When the Red Army forcibly crossed the Dadu River, Zhao Erlu ran around with the supply personnel, although it was only a few shells, but it played a key role. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he wanted to go to the front line to lead the troops to fight, but ** appointed him as the deputy minister of the general supply of the Eighth Route Army, responsible for negotiating with the Kuomintang about the military supply of the Eighth Route Army.
Although he was reluctant to do supply work anymore, considering that he was an old man on Jinggang Mountain, he personally came to do ideological work. Although *** said a lot, Zhao Erlu never wavered.
In the end, ** gave an "ultimatum", and Zhao Erlu finally said that he obeyed the order. Although the logistics work is very cumbersome, there is always someone to do it, and Zhao Erlu was chosen to do the supply work because he has rich work experience and strong work ability.
Zhao Erlu: The Transition from Quartermaster Work to Military Leadership Zhao Erlu was an outstanding strategist and military strategist who left a lasting impact on the Eighth Route Army and China's defense industry with his thoughtful decisions and decisive actions.
During Zhao Erlu's tenure as the commander of the military division and the commander of the Hebei-Jin Military Region, he successfully guaranteed the initial supplies of the Eighth Route Army with his ingenuity and fearlessness.
He deeply felt that this kind of supply work was far from the war that he really loved. Therefore, he decided to take up a higher position in the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region in order to better realize his ambitions.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhao Erlu served as the second chief of staff of the Central South Military Region. Under his leadership, he made important contributions to the stability and development of the Central and Southern Military Region with his unique military talents and rich combat experience.
In 1952, the state established the Second Ministry of Machinery Industry to lead the national defense industry in a unified manner. ** thought of Zhao Erlu and prepared to make him a minister. Zhao Erlu did not hesitate to obey the organization's decision, and his leadership and contribution brought China's defense industry to a new level.
In 1964, when China's first atomic bomb was successful, Zhao Erlu was asked some technical questions, and Zhao Erlu's answers were accurate and detailed. Praise him and say, "You're an expert now." "
Zhao Erlu's military and scientific and technological talents have been widely praised. In Zhao Erlu's military career, he always insisted on putting the interests of the country and the people first, and showed a high sense of responsibility and mission no matter what post he was in.
His contributions have been widely praised and respected. He was known as the "old scalper of the revolution" and made important contributions to China's national defense cause, and truly achieved "dedication and death".
