In China, military rank is not only a symbol of rank, but also represents the honor of a soldier. The higher the rank, the heavier the honor, so the pursuit of military rank is very strong.
However, why did one person publicly remove his epaulettes during the award ceremony and did not even put on his military uniform again at the time of his burial?
Military rank, which symbolizes honor and rank, is the goal pursued by countless soldiers. From the lowest soldier to the highest marshal, every step requires hard work and excellence.
In our country, there are clear rewards and punishments, as long as you have the ability, the means, and the ability to endure hardships, the state will give you corresponding honors and rewards, especially those soldiers who defend the frontier and defend peace.
However, there is such a person, a young talent, who was highly praised by Ren Bishi, but he was only awarded the rank of major general when he was fully awarded, why is this?
Duan Suquan, a young talent, his name has left a deep mark on history. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he fought on the front line as a major general, and in order to drive the enemy away, he led the enthusiastic young people to actively participate in the War of Resistance against Japan, forming a magnificent scene of the all-out War of Resistance.
Duan Suquan was born in Hunan, he grew up under the influence of the Red Zone, and although his family was poor, he received a certain education, which gave him the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
At the age of sixteen, he successfully led a group of Young Pioneers to join the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, showing outstanding leadership skills. Our army cherishes such a handsome talent and gives him many opportunities to fully display his talents.
Therefore, Duan Suquan became the secretary of the Qiandong Political Committee of the Communist Party of China at the age of eighteen, and his talent was fully displayed.
Duan Suquan participated in the war when he was young, and once because he was too young, he was mistaken for a false rank in the guest house, which led to a small joke. He has stood up many times in the cruel war, despite the disparity in equipment between the enemy and us, but the ancestors are not afraid, fight with their lives, and use the terrain advantage to carry out guerrilla warfare in order to reduce the **.
One day, Duan Suquan received a task that he needed to lead a team of 400 people to return to Xiangxi from Guizhou. In order to ensure the smooth march, he was appointed political commissar of the independent division, responsible for attracting enemy fire and assisting the main large forces to complete the withdrawal.
The Qiandong Independent Division led by Duan Suquan, in order to confuse the enemy, fought a bloody battle with the enemy and bought time for the real main force to retreat. Duan Suquan's heroic leadership made the enemy mistakenly believe that the Qiandong Independent Division was the main force of the Red Army, and directly transferred a large number of troops to besiege it.
Despite the disparity in strength, the soldiers led by Duan Suquan persevered until the end, running out of ammunition and food, and only the last trace of faith remained. In order to break through the siege as soon as possible, Duan Suquan decided to attack Yimei Town in Xiushan County, but during the march, he unfortunately injured his right foot and was forced to recuperate in a safe area.
The remaining warriors faced an even more intense enemy attack and were eventually killed. Duan Suquan's heroic deeds are deeply moving.
Duan Suquan was not discovered by the enemy on the battlefield, because of Li Mufu's familiarity with the terrain, he successfully hid in the cave and avoided the pursuit of the enemy. However, he found that the Qiandong Independent Division he led had been completely wiped out and lost contact with the organization.
Due to the nature of guerrilla warfare, he could not judge the whereabouts of large forces. In order to ensure the safety of his life, Duan Suquan decided to return to his hometown first, and then look for an opportunity to reconnect with the organization.
During this period, a funeral was organized for the fallen comrades of the Qiandong Independent Division, but he did not expect Duan Suquan to be alive.
With the help of Li Mufu, Duan Suquan disguised himself as a beggar to escape the pursuit of the enemy. When his parents returned home, they were shocked to find that Hanako was their proud son.
The Kuomintang troops learned of Duan Suquan's return, but because of his youth, they mistakenly thought that he was just a small soldier, and did not arrest him, but only sent people to monitor him. Out of love for his son, Duan Suquan's father helped him find a job as a handyman.
Duan Suquan originally wanted to take this opportunity to find clues about the large army, but he could only give up temporarily after discovering that he was being watched. In order to protect his family, he decided to accept the job and tried to fool the KMT.
Over the past three years, Duan Suquan has managed to deceive his enemies and make them let their guard down through a brilliant performance. He even got married in his hometown, creating the illusion of returning to his family and living comfortably, and even went back to school, so that the enemy slowly accepted his idea of staying at home, so that he was removed from supervision.
Duan Suquan did not give up his dream of the Red Army, and he began to look for opportunities to get in touch with the main forces of the Red Army. Under the opportunity of his fellow countryman Tan Maogou to break away from the Red Army due to injury, he finally found the direction of the main force.
Although he missed his parents and wife very much, he always had a great ambition in his heart, which was to return to the Red Army and continue to fight. Duan Suquan's parents and wife understood him, and they knew that he was a man with big ambitions.
So, they helped Duan Suquan evacuate and let him return to the team smoothly.
When Ren Bishi saw Duan Suquan again, his heart was full of surprise and emotion. Duan Suquan, who once thought that he had dedicated himself to the war, appeared in front of him unharmed.
Ren Bishi deeply felt Duan Suquan's tenacity and courage, and also expressed his sincere admiration for his attitude towards life. Duan Suquan, who returned to the battlefield, actively enriched his combat experience and theoretical knowledge, and constantly deepened his ideological armament.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in order to eliminate the residual impact of the war, he actively participated in the sweeping work, not letting go of any traces of the enemy, and at the same time, he also actively carried out ideological education and training for the local people, laying a solid foundation for the victory of the War of Liberation.
During the War of Liberation, in order to better carry out cooperation with the Kuomintang troops, our army awarded Duan Suquan the rank of major general, and when the Kuomintang saw Duan Suquan's current status and prestige, they all marveled at his tenacity and struggle, and expressed deep respect for his rise.
The young Duan Suquan received the rank of major general for his talent, which was a great recognition for him and made him full of enthusiasm for his subsequent work. During the War of Liberation, he led the Eighth Column to participate in the Battle of Liaoxi and was given the important task of preventing the Kuomintang Liaoxi army from fleeing south.
Duan Suquan was well aware of the arduous task, and immediately organized his comrades to discuss the plan together, and adopted surprise attacks and roundabout tactics to try to avoid the enemy's dense artillery fire. However, the enemy's fire was too fierce, and our troops could only hold their positions and engage in a fierce frontal battle with the enemy, which lasted up to 12 hours.
During this period, our troops managed to withstand 18 charges launched by the enemy, firmly controlled the position, and did not give the enemy any chance.
In the process of repelling the enemy, Duan Suquan received a new task, requiring an all-out attack on the enemy's deployment in Dongxihaizi. Due to the terrain problem, Duan Suquan's troops could only carry out a peripheral encirclement, and could not obtain intelligence from the enemy's interior, and the situation became very complicated.
In the face of the rapid changes in the battlefield, in order to minimize **, Duan Suquan issued instructions to the troops: act quickly, command decisively, be sure to block the enemy, and not let them escape.
If the enemy breaks through and cannot fall in love with the battle, leave the battle to the follow-up troops, and everyone is ready to participate in the battle at any time. In this situation of incomplete information, Duan Suquan led his troops to many victories.
After the end of the Liberation War, Duan Suquan immediately threw himself into the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Since he had previously learned about flying, he used his command experience to help front-line fighters fight, and even the mantra he wrote himself played an important role in pilot pilot training.
Duan Suquan has achieved a lot since he joined the army, and his figure has appeared in every important war. became famous at a young age, he was able to become the secretary of the special committee at a young age, and was later awarded the rank of major general.
He has been committed to the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and it seems that everything is going to get better. But at the ceremony of the full awarding of the title, everyone thought that Duan Suquan would at least be awarded the rank of lieutenant general, but the result was to maintain his rank of major general.
Hearing this decision, Duan Suquan was puzzled, he had made a lot of military achievements, why did he still stay as a major general. In a fit of rage, he tore off his epaulettes, and all his emotions instantly came to his heart.
The status of military rank in the hearts of military personnel is incomparable.
The top level of the organization understands the importance that Duan Suquan attaches to military ranks, and understands that there is no reasonable explanation, and everyone may have questions about this decision. Thus, they explained why the decision to maintain the rank of Major General Duan Suquan was maintained.
The awarding of military ranks is subject to a rigorous vetting process. Duan Suquan had a gap in his military career, unable to verify his true identity, and was also monitored by the Kuomintang, which made it difficult for him to prove his innocence.
However, on the battlefields of the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he performed very well, so the organization chose to believe in his loyalty to the party. It's just that there was no strong evidence during that blank period, so they could only maintain the rank of Major General Duan Suquan.
After Duan Suquan understood the reason, he quickly regained his composure, recalled the days of living alone in the previous three years, and without saying much, he voluntarily accepted the organization's decision. In order to avoid organizational embarrassment and to dispel suspicion of him, he announced that he would no longer wear military uniforms in the future, and that his loyalty to the party would no longer need to be proved by other evidence.
After this turmoil, Duan Suquan did not sink, but was more committed to national construction, and under the arrangement of the first country, he sent an envoy to Laos to assist Laos in developing its economy and resisting the pressure of the United States.
Duan Suquan's life was rich and colorful, full of youthful spirit and academic accumulation. Although he was not promoted to a higher rank, his ardent heart made countless contributions to the development of the country.
Although he once felt wronged, he had already abandoned individualism in the face of the country's righteousness. This heroic predecessor led by example and deserves our tribute and learning.
