In 1980, ** planned to invite Liang Xingchu to return to the mountain, and proposed two tasks: one is to serve as an adviser to the Jinan Military Region in Shandong, and the other is to serve as an adviser to the Shenyang Military Region.
Although Liang Xingchu was not in his prime, he decided to go home to retire, which surprised ***. Finally agreed to his decision and let him go home and enjoy his old age.
So, why did *** agree with Liang Xingchu's decision? What kind of revolutionary experience did Liang Xingchu have? Liang Xingchu was born in 1913 in a poor peasant family in Jiangxi, his father was a carpenter, and the family's livelihood depended on his father's carpenter's skills to sustain their livelihood.
Liang Xingchu has five brothers and sisters in his family, but in that troubled era, it was not easy to support so many children with only one carpenter. During a famine, three of his siblings starved to death, leaving him and his younger brother to survive.
In such a predicament, Liang Xingchu did not choose to give up, he chose to join the revolution and change his destiny with his own actions. He enlisted in the Red Army and became a valiant fighter.
He used a hammer to make a revolution in the revolutionary war"Long Live the Army"Famous all over the world. Liang Xingchu's revolutionary experience was full of courage and determination, and his decision to return home to retire was also out of consideration for himself and his family.
His decision shows us a true revolutionary, a man of courage, determination and love. Let us learn from Liang Xingchu that no matter what kind of difficulties we face, we must have the courage to face them, have the determination to change, and care for others with love.
Life is like a leak in a house and rain overnight, 14-year-old Liang Xingchu experienced the grief of his father's death, his family was separated, and he was facing hunger. In order to make a living, he went into a blacksmith shop and took on the role of a small blacksmith.
In the process, he tasted the hardships of life, starved and skinny, and his weak body contrasted sharply with the heavy hammer. However, to a great surprise, Liang Xingchu showed amazing strength and persevered tenaciously for months.
However, the greed of the blacksmith shop owner made him unhappy, and he even offered to pay his debts with a hammer. In the face of such injustice, Liang Xingchu chose anger and resistance, and he resolutely left the blacksmith shop and continued his life with the sledgehammer, which symbolizes perseverance and courage.
At that time, ** once carried two kitchen knives alone and shed his blood for the revolutionary cause. However, Liang Xingchu held a sledgehammer in his hand and also threw himself into this great struggle.
From their experiences, we can see that the truly great men did not follow the usual path, and their deeds often have similarities. Liang Xingchu was much stronger than others because he had worked in a blacksmith shop every day, so he was given the title of "Liang Blacksmith" among the soldiers.
As a blacksmith soldier, Liang Xingchu performed equally well on the battlefield, his broadsword played a key role in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and he was able to wield it as if no one was in a no-man's land every time he fought.
Therefore, it began to be rumored among the enemy army that he always slashed and killed indiscriminately with a big knife, so he got the name of "Liang Maniac". However, this word "crazy" did not belittle him, but made him even more famous and became a legend in the Long March.
While climbing over the last mountain, Liupan Mountain, they encountered a strange event.
At the junction of Liupan Mountain Pass and the Loess Plateau, it was originally a deserted loess covered land, with only about 20 peasant households. When our soldiers crossed the mountains and mountains, they found that the grass not far away was full of people, and wisps of cooking smoke were rising.
Liang Xingchu, who is well-informed, immediately began to think, what does it mean that so many people suddenly appeared in the grass in this place where there is no village in front of the village, no shops in the back, and no tiled houses in front?
He immediately judged that there must be enemy troops in front of him, and there were quite a few of them. So he ordered his troops to advance quietly to avoid startling the snakes. When they walked into the grass, they found more than 100 enemy soldiers resting in the grass, some lying on dry ground basking in the sun, some making a fire to cook, and some chatting.
They were completely unaware of the presence of our troops, and even behind them, more than 100 horses were leisurely eating grass.
Liang Xingchu thought of a clever plan: if someone has food and horses, he might as well have a surprise attack, and if he can't win a big victory. He immediately reported back to the organization, hoping to achieve this goal.
Having received approval, Liang Xingchu immediately ordered to besiege the enemy. They didn't seem to care, but Liang Xingchu decisively gave an order: "Comrades, the task is coming!"
We will capture the enemy alive and capture their horses! "Although Liang Xingchu's troops were small in number, they surrounded the enemy with lightning speed. When the fighters surrounded the enemy with their guns, the enemy was captured alive before he could react.
The raid was a success, and Liang Xingchu got more than 140 horses without spending a penny. ** was very happy to hear the news of his victory, and specially approved him to set up a cavalry company.
This is not only the first cavalry company of the squadron, but also lays the foundation for the training of our army's war horses. Although the process of training the war horse was not easy, there were many interesting stories that happened in the process.
Although Liang Xingchu encountered many difficulties and challenges in the process of training war horses, through unremitting efforts and arduous training, he finally succeeded in using these war horses in the army.
In the war, Liang Xingchu gave full play to his military talents, was good at winning by surprise, and made many miraculous achievements for the army. In particular, in the Second Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, although the 38th Army led by him suffered an accident, with his wisdom and courage, he successfully defeated the enemy's black army and made great contributions to the victory of the war.
After Liang Xingchu received the information, the speed of the march gradually slowed down, and they walked cautiously for fear of startling the snake. The reality is that despite the fact that the Black Legion had heavy **, they were quite backward in combat capabilities.
Moreover, these black legions were not around Liang Xingchu's position, so they were not a big threat. However, the slowness of Liang Xingchu's march deprived him of the best opportunity to counterattack.
On the battlefield, time is money and life. After learning of Liang Xingchu's delay, ** was furious. ** is a person with a fiery personality, he severely criticized Liang Xingchu after the incident, and publicly praised other officers at the military meeting, especially emphasizing Liang Xingchu: "Is Liang Xingchu of the 38th Army here?"
He was guilty of delaying the fighter plane, I don't think he still has the guts to come here? ”
Liang Xingchu made a mistake at the venue, ** although he noticed it, he deliberately reminded Liang Xingchu. Liang Xingchu was very dissatisfied with this, and he was determined to prove himself in the next battle.
In the second battle, Liang Xingchu acted quickly and led his team to Songgu Peak. In order not to delay the fighters, they marched forward at a rapid pace while gnawing dry food along the way. On Songgu Peak, the US Eighth Army, together with dozens of planes and artillery, launched a fierce attack on the positions of the volunteers.
The surviving fighters described that the American bombers flew almost close to the ground, and after each round of bombing, the fighters fell one by one, and the entire mountain peak was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder and blood.
In the face of the fierce bombardment of enemy planes, the soldiers were undaunted and were always ready to fight the enemy to the end. Under Liang Xingchu, the morale of the fighters was high, and although the ammunition was exhausted, they smashed it with stones, and when the stones ran out, they brandished broadswords.
In the shadow of swords and swords, the enemy troops were shocked by the heroic spirit of the 38th Army and fled one after another. The 38th Army achieved an unprecedented victory, destroying the command of the US Eighth Army in one fell swoop and annihilating more than 10,000 people.
This battle not only forced the arrogant US military to abandon the Xihai landing plan, but also opened up a new situation for the ** of the Volunteer Army. Since then, Liang Xingchu and his 38th Army have left a glorious page in military history and have been praised as the "Long Live Army".
The strength of the combat effectiveness of the 38th Army can be seen from the far-reaching reputation of Liang Xingchu, commander of the "Long Live Army." Even *** once praised him: "Liang Xingchu, the commander of the 'Long Live Army', is like thunder, and he has admired him for a long time. ”
After the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Liang Xingchu was awarded the rank of lieutenant general for his outstanding military achievements, and worked in the Chengdu Military Region for many years. However, Liang Xingchu's physical condition is worrying.
He was wounded on the battlefield in his early years, and his body was covered with shrapnel marks. During the anti-encirclement period, he fought fiercely with the enemy in the trenches, and due to the long toil and serious injuries, he suddenly fell in the trenches, which frightened the soldiers.
Liang Xingchu collapsed in the battle and fell into a coma. By the time he was carried out of the trench, he had been unconscious for three days and three nights. However, what is laughable is that the fighters prepared a coffin for him.
Just when everyone was sad, he sat up from the coffin like a spring. Seeing him "come back from the dead", the soldiers were surprised and delighted, and they held back their tears, and hurriedly stepped forward to carry Liang Xingchu out.
In 1931, Liang Xingchu experienced two narrow escapes. Once, he was unfortunately shot through his left leg during the battle, and the bullet hit the artery right in the blood.
However, Liang Xingchu was not in a hurry, he simply bandaged the wound and continued to devote himself to the battle. It wasn't until he got off the battlefield that he found that the blood on his left leg had coagulated.
Soon after, he was shot in the left chest by the enemy during the counter-encirclement campaign. Surprisingly, the bullet did not penetrate Liang Xingchu's chest, because the silver dollar he hid in his arms saved his life, and the silver dollar was dented.
In the more than 20 years of war, Liang Xingchu struggled from the clutches of death nine times, but he also had countless scars on his body. In 1980, Liang Xingchu was 67 years old and had gray temples.
For all the praise from the outside world, he has long been as pessimistic as smoke. However, when he returned to Beijing, Liang Xingchu behaved very indifferently in the face of the two choices of ***.
Liang Xingchu declined the invitation due to his physical condition and wishes in his old age, and chose to enjoy his old age in peace. Respect his decision and build a large mansion for him. Liang Xingchu passed away peacefully in his new house at the age of 72.
His wounds and ravines are a testimony to his exploits. Although he failed to live a stable old age as he wished, his uprightness and humility are worthy of our respect and learning.
Liang Xingchu has made meritorious contributions to the country all his life, and even in his later years, he still maintains such a spiritual outlook.
In his later years, General Liang Xingchu had great ambitions and hoped to compile his glorious years into a book for future generations to read that shocking history. However, a few months before his death, all the manuscripts were unfortunately lost in a car accident, which became his unfulfilled wish.
However, Ren Guilan, the wife of General Liang Xingchu, did not give up, and she adhered to the general's legacy, sorted out his unfinished manuscripts, and finally compiled a "Long Live the Army" full of pride and ambition.
This book depicts in detail the process of the revolutionary battle full of blood, and also witnesses the general's lifelong career as a horseman.
