In October 1965, Rao Zijian was appointed deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region.
In 1967, the Nanjing Military Region set up a production office, and the Party Committee of the Military Region designated Rao Zijian as the leader.
Rao Zijian withstood the pressure and did a good job of what he emphasized"Guarantee Shanghai's industrial production".Task.
The following year, ** assigned Rao Zijian another task, and Rao Zijian still took it neatly this time. **Can't help but praise:"What a general! ”
So, what is this task? How did Rao Zijian do it?
In December 1960, Rao Zijian was appointed commander of the Shanghai Garrison District and a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China.
As a military director, Rao Zijian put "grasping war preparedness" in the first place.
In the Spring Festival of 1962, ** came to Shanghai to inspect the work, and Rao Zijian went to report the work.
For Liu Shuai's proposal"Island Tamsui**" Communication Liaison ".and other matters, Rao Zijian made a detailed explanation.
At the end of the conversation, ** asked him:"Does the garrison commander have confidence in garrisoning Shanghai? ”
Rao Zijian said firmly:"Always ready to meet the invading enemy, people are in the position, and vow to live and die with Shanghai. ”
After hearing this, Liu Shuai nodded with satisfaction.
When Rao Zijian took up his post in the Shanghai Garrison District, he was in a difficult period for the national economy. There was a shortage of funds, poor food, and limited food distribution in the troops.
This year, Rao Zijian decided to reclaim more than 6,000 acres of land on Chongming Island as a large-scale farm.
Under the leadership of Rao Zijian, the agricultural and sideline production base was quickly built.
By 1963, there had been a bumper harvest of grain, vegetables, and pork in the garrison area. It not only ensured the self-sufficiency of the troops, but also supported the construction of the country and socialism.
As an old revolutionary, Rao Zijian has completely achieved "a clear distinction between public and private", which is regarded by some people as "too rigid".
For example, some old comrades-in-arms and old colleagues passing by Shanghai, Rao Zijian often had to entertain them to show his friendship.
The comrades in the office told Rao Zijian that he could be reimbursed by the government.
But Rao Zijian said:"Entertaining guests in my own name is of course out of my own pocket. ”
Comrades in the office said that there is an element of official work here, and a part of it can be reimbursed.
Rao Zijian said firmly"The public is for the public, the private is for the private, and there can be no distinction between the public and the private. ”
Therefore, Rao Zijian did not agree to reimburse the entertainment expenses once.
Once, the management department sent a refrigerator to Rao Zijian and other leaders of the garrison area, saying that this was to take care of the leaders.
After Rao Zijian found out, he felt that this care would affect the image of the leader.
So, after Rao Zijian discussed with other leaders, except for Deputy Commander Liu Fei, who could stay because of his old age and illness, the rest of them all retreated.
There are many things like this, and Rao Zijian's approach has won praise from top to bottom!
In October 1965, Rao Zijian came to Nanjing from Shanghai and was in charge of militia work as deputy commander.
The following year, Rao Zijian was ordered by the military region to take more than 10 cadres to the Taozhuang production team in Jiangsu Province to participate in the "Four Cleansing" movement.
This summer, the weather was unbearably hot, and the crops in Taozhuang were very sunburned.
In order to solve this problem, Rao Zijian bought two pumping machines from *** help. In the autumn of that year, Taozhuang had a bumper harvest.
The villagers were very grateful to Rao Zijian and praised:"The harvest was won with the help of Commander Rao! ”
In the spring of 1967, Rao Zijian took on the heavy burden related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and devoted himself to the production office of the military region.
On this day, news came from Shanghai, saying that the city's coal ** is very tight, and the coal reserves of the power plant are only enough for one week.
Rao Zijian, who has worked in Shanghai for many years, knows that if there is no coal in Shanghai, it will bring great difficulties to industrial production and people's lives.
Therefore, Rao Zijian made a quick decision and directly ordered to allocate 2,000 tons of coal from Nanjing to Shanghai as soon as possible.
At this time, someone questioned him:"Who said that the coal was transported to Shanghai? ”
Rao Zijian said confidently"I arranged it according to *** instructions. ”
After some theory. Rao Zijian finally withstood the pressure and completed this major task.
Rao Zijian later recalled:
"I have served as the commander of the Shanghai garrison and a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee for many years, so I am familiar with the situation in Shanghai, and I know that Shanghai cannot be short of coal for a moment. ”After that, Rao Zijian went to work in Huainan Coal Mine, Bengbu Railway Branch and other units. His series of practices have been appreciated by ***!
In 1968, Rao Zijian participated in the "small third line" meeting held by ***. During the meeting, ** specially summoned Rao Zijian.
After meeting, ** warmly held Rao Zijian's hand and said to him:"The production of national defense and military industry in Nanjing should make more efforts to undertake the task of antiaircraft artillery production, and the mobilization line and the 'small third line' should be put on the same page to strive for more production in the morning. ”
In fact, before this, the Nanjing Military Region had been instructed to manage the national defense industry, and the construction of the "small third line" could not be stopped.
At that time, the party committee of the military region decided that Rao Zijian would directly lead this task.
Rao Zijian always believes that if the organization needs him to go to **, he will run to **.
This time, Rao Zijian heard ***'s instructions face to face, which made his confidence in completing the task even stronger!
To this, Rao Zijian replied:"Please rest assured that the comrades in the Nanjing area are ready and will definitely make more efforts, early horses, and more production. ”
Later, at a meeting, the project of third-line construction in Nanjing was further clarified, with a total of 17 factories.
At this time, ** held Rao Zijian's hand again and said:
"Comrade Zijian, in order to support the Vietnamese people's struggle against the United States, we must provide anti-aircraft artillery to Vietnam, and we demand that the Nanjing Military Region must come up with it in a short time! ”
Rao Zijian immediately said:"It must be done in the shortest possible time! ”
After listening, say with a smile:"Good, good, good, what a general's magnificence! ”
After Rao Zijian returned to the military region, he immediately devoted himself to a new task.
In 1969, the Treasure Island Incident occurred. Although Rao is over 60 years old and suffers from serious heart disease.
But in the next five or six years, regardless of his physical condition and various bad weather, he often went down to the third-line factory to inspect and guide the work.
According to the staff records of Raozi Fitness:"Every year, the chief spends more than four months traveling between the third-tier factories. ”
Beginning in 1973, Rao's heart disease became more and more serious. At this time, he still insisted on going to the "small third-line" factory with loyalty to the party and the people.
In 1975, the Military Commission decided to let Rao Zijian leave his post to recuperate. In October 1982, after Rao Zijian retired, he enjoyed the treatment of a full-time position in the Grand Military Region.
On September 25, 2000, Rao Zijian died of illness at the age of 91.
