Everyone in the world knows that General Xu Shiyou is the favorite general, the founding general or the commander of the Nanjing Military Region, sitting on one side, such an achievement is enviable, but the most trusted general who can really be called *** is another person, his name is Li Jingquan.
How much do you trust Li Jingquan? **In his later years, he said to the staff around him, the chairman said; "Li Jingquan is the person who knows my mind the best, and he can be called a roundworm in my stomach. Such a metaphor may seem crude, but it is also the most simple expression of feelings.
Li Jingquan is a native of Linchuan, Jiangxi, in 1926, 17-year-old Li Jingquan joined the revolution when he was studying at the Third Normal School in Jiangxi, and the next year he also organized a peasant team to participate in the Nanchang Uprising.
He entered the Soviet area in the summer of 1930 to work, Li Jingquan met as soon as he arrived in the Soviet area, he sent a letter to the former committee of the Red Fourth Army by the Dongjiang Provisional Special Committee, and met the then secretary of the former party committee, Li Jingquan, who was shrewd, capable and cultured at that time, and left a deep impression on him.
In August, the Red Army was formed in Liuyang, serving as the commander-in-chief, the general political commissar and the former party secretary, **I still remember Li Jingquan, so he was transferred to the office of the general political commissar as a secretary, in fact, he was a secretary for ***.
However, at that time, he often fought, coupled with the lack of front-line commanders and fighters, Li Jingquan only served as a secretary for 10 months, and was transferred to the army, in June 1931, Li Jingquan was appointed as the political commissar of the Red 35th Army, when Li Jingquan was only 22 years old, he was really young and promising.
In the third and fourth anti-encirclement and suppression operations that followed, Li Jingquan followed the strategy and tactics of the first class, and won many battles, Li Jingquan's military talent was displayed, which proved that he was not wrong, and later on the Long March, Li Jingquan served in the three main forces.
There are very few generals like him in the Red Army, and it is enough to prove Li Jingquan's ability, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and Li Jingquan was appointed as the deputy political commissar of the 358 Brigade of the 120th Division.
In particular, the Daqingshan Detachment in the Suiyuan Qingshan area, which Li Jingquan led later, held the main communication route from Mongolia to the Soviet Union, and led his troops to open up the Suizhong, Suixi, and Suinan guerrilla base areas in the Daqingshan area, making great contributions to Suiyuan's anti-Japanese resistance.
In the later War of Liberation, Li Jingquan followed ** into Sichuan, and made great contributions to the liberation of Sichuan.
According to the regulations of the great award at that time, the generals who went to work in the local area did not participate in the awarding of titles, so Li Jingquan missed the big award, but he was still called "untitled general", Li Jingquan went to work in Sichuan to personally order the generals, at that time Sichuan had just been liberated, and there were many problems.
Militarily, Sichuan was liberated, but the Kuomintang launched a long-term entrenchment in Sichuan, and there were many spies and bandits left, which was a huge hidden danger to the people's lives and local construction.
Before Li Jingquan set off, ** said to him: "You are my most trusted person, for my thoughts, you are a little thorough, I can rest assured that you will do this", with the entrustment of ***, Li Jingquan took office in Sichuan, and later it turned out that Li Jingquan did not live up to the entrustment of ***.
After under the leadership of Li Jingquan, Sichuan's economy has been well restored and developed, in the difficult period of natural disasters, Sichuan in three years to support the country's grain reached 14.7 billion catties, ** gave affirmation and praise to his work, Li Jingquan successively served as the first secretary of the Southwest Bureau and the first political commissar of the Chengdu Military Region.
In his later years, Li Jingquan still cared about the people, in 1982 at the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Advisory Committee, and later proposed to abolish the "lifelong system of leading cadres", Li Jingquan took the lead in supporting, he asked to resign from the post of the Central Advisory Committee, his noble sentiments are admirable, in April 1989, Li Jingquan died of illness at the age of 80.
