In 1964, Comrade ** was ordered by his superiors to destroy a batch of expired ** ammunition, but an accident occurred on the way, resulting in a serious injury to Liao's right hand, and I am afraid that he will no longer be able to participate in military training normally in the future. This made *** a little unacceptable for a while, his mood was extremely low, he couldn't sleep all night, and even secretly wiped his tears in the middle of the night.
** Enlisted in the army in 1958, his performance has always been very good in peacetime, he is a training "pacesetter" in the regiment, and is often commended by his superiors. After the three-year compulsory service period expired, the company commander and instructor planned to recommend him to be promoted to officer, but his academic qualifications were too low to meet the requirements of officers, so he could only be transferred to a non-commissioned officer first. It was not until 1963, with the approval of the head of the regiment, that he was finally included in the training list of "reserve cadres" after 6 years of working at the grassroots level, and soon after, he was recommended to study in the teaching team, and within the next 1 year, as long as he did not make mistakes, he could be steadily promoted to second lieutenant.
But no one thought that at the end of the 1-year period, ** suddenly encountered an accident and was about to be discharged from the army. At this critical moment, a division commander became the "Bole" of the first class and solved his worries. It was at the end of 1964, the last time he participated in the army's exercise as a soldier, and the division commander who was observing at the scene saw that he could advance and retreat, and he commanded well, and he couldn't help but have a heart of love for talent, so he made an exception to leave him and let him serve as a training cadre at the regiment headquarters.
2 years later, the regiment commander decided to decentralize the grassroots company for training, and did not live up to the regiment commander's expectations, he paid close attention to training during his tenure as a company commander, while strengthening political and ideological education, in order to improve the cohesion of the soldiers, in less than half a year, his company became the best "sharp knife company" in the whole regiment, and won numerous honors.
In 1972, he was promoted to a battalion-level cadre, in 1978, he was promoted to deputy regiment commander, and the following year he became a regiment commander, and led his troops to participate in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. During this period, ** often took great risks, personally went to the front line to direct the battle, shared the weal and woe with the soldiers, and faced the enemy side by side. With his encouragement, the officers and men of the regiment were also brave and courageous, and they were able to break the enemy and win the final victory every time.
After the end of the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam, the higher-level chief planned to arrange for *** to serve in the ** military region, but *** applied to stay in the southwest and continue to participate in the "Two Mountains Wheel Battle", and he wanted to fight the Vietnamese army to the death! The superior chief admired ***'s courage, so he approved his application and let him sit on the front line of Yinshan to resist the enemy.
**After confronting the Vietnamese army for a period of time, it was found that the other side was very cunning, once the PLA launched an artillery bombardment on the Vietnamese army, the Vietnamese army would retreat into the anti-artillery hole to hide, and when the artillery fire stopped and our infantry charged forward, the Vietnamese army would crawl out of the hole and launch a fierce counterattack against the PLA. In order to counteract, we decisively adopted the strategy of "suspicious soldiers" and deliberately created all kinds of illusions to make the Vietnamese army think that the People's Liberation Army was going to attack, and when the Vietnamese army came out of the anti-artillery hole, it immediately let the artillery aim and shoot, killing and wounding nearly 100 enemies in just 5 minutes.
This is not the end, ** In the following month, they continued to use fake attacks to lure the Vietnamese army, try to kill and injure their living forces, and at the same time reduce the vigilance of the Vietnamese army. When the Vietnamese army completely relaxed its vigilance, ** suddenly mobilized the strength of two companies to launch a real attack, and the Vietnamese army was caught off guard and had to abandon its position and flee in a hurry. Later, the heroic deeds of ** reached the ears of Deng Gong, Deng was very happy, and immediately issued an order, asking the Military Commission to focus on cultivating *** The Military Commission immediately promoted Liao to deputy commander, and half a year later, he was turned into a regular in advance, and at the same time served as the deputy commander of the large military region.
Soon after, he transferred to the senior command class of the National Defense University, where his personal abilities were greatly enhanced, and he was awarded the rank of general in 2000. In 2002, he became the head of the General Logistics Department and a member of the Military Commission, and in 2013, he applied for retirement because he was too old to continue to manage the complex affairs of the army. In his later years, he was always very low-key, never participated in any public activities, and lived a simple life with his wife.
**'s life is very inspirational, he encountered a lot of difficulties when he joined the army, and even almost forced to retire, but fortunately, he got the help of the "nobleman", and finally succeeded in overcoming the difficulties and staying in the army. During the war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam, he adopted exquisite tactics to strike at the arrogance of the Vietnamese army again and again, safeguarded China's sovereign interests, and at the same time trained a number of outstanding backbone cadres for the PLA through the method of "training in battle." Now, the old general is over eighty years old, and his body is still very strong, and we also wish him good health, happiness and peace!
