In 1930, at the age of 17, Ding Qiusheng joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and since then, his fate has been closely linked to the revolutionary struggle in this land.
In the Red Army, although Ding Qiusheng was young, he showed extraordinary courage and wisdom. He took part in the Soviet zone anti-revolt"Encirclement and suppression"Every expedition is a fearless challenge to death. Despite his lack of combat experience, Ding Qiusheng's performance on the battlefield was impressive. He not only charged bravely, but also was resourceful, and with his bravery and cleverness, he won the trust and appreciation of the leadership of the troops.
In 1933, in just three years, Ding Qiusheng's military talent and leadership were rapidly improved, and he was appointed deputy instructor and party branch secretary of the 4th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Red Third Army Corps, and soon after, he was promoted to regimental political commissar. In this process, Ding Qiusheng not only commanded the battle, but also cared about the thoughts and lives of the soldiers, and became a hero in the hearts of the soldiers.
In early 1934, Ding Qiusheng was wounded in a fierce battle in Guangchang, and the artery in his left arm was severed, and the blood flowed profusely. With the emergency help of his comrades, he was taken to the rear hospital. Dean Fu Lianhui personally got off the operating table, and after several hours of rescue, Ding Qiusheng's life was finally saved. Although the function of his left arm was impaired, his morale was not frustrated. After a short period of recuperation, he insisted on returning to the front and continued to fight for the revolutionary cause.
Ding Qiusheng's story became a good story among the troops. He was not only a brave warrior, but also a commander with both wisdom and courage. In battle, he always grasped the fighter accurately and worked out exquisite tactics. Even in the face of great difficulties, he can always command the troops to break through the encirclement with a cool head.
In the prologue of the spring of 1948, news came from the northwest that the People's Liberation Army was about to launch the Luoyang Campaign, the purpose of which was to support the offensive of the northwest battlefield and suppress the enemy's defensive line. The 3rd Column of Huaye, with the experienced Ding Qiusheng as the political commissar and General Sun Jixian as the acting commander, was entrusted with this important task.
Luoyang, the city was extremely important to both sides, it was not only a key node connecting the northwest and the Central Plains battlefield, but also a strong military fortress. The Kuomintang deployed 20,000 elite soldiers here and built an impregnable defensive line, as if it were an insurmountable iron wall.
Generals Ding Qiusheng and Sun Jixian knew very well that the victory in this battle would have a significant impact on the entire pattern of the war. They decided to go to the front line in person and fight alongside the soldiers to face this challenge together.
As night fell on March 11, the battle officially began. Under the command of Generals Ding and Sun Er, the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army went down the mountain like fierce tigers and marched forward bravely. In the face of fierce attacks by the People's Liberation Army, the defenders of Luoyang were defeated and finally forced to retreat to the sports ground northwest of the city, hoping to use this stronghold to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
After Chiang Kai-shek learned the news of the danger in Luoyang, he hurriedly dispatched three corps, Hu Lian, Sun Yuanliang and Pei Changhui, to reinforce and try to reverse the defeat. But inside and outside Luoyang City, it is already a battlefield of the People's Liberation Army.
At this critical juncture, Ding Qiusheng and General Sun Jixian showed extraordinary military talent and firm determination. Not only did they plan the battle themselves, but they also commanded at the front line, charging together with the soldiers. Their courage and determination inspired every soldier and boosted the morale of the whole army and multiplied its combat effectiveness.
After a night of fierce fighting, when the sky was light, the battle of Luoyang City finally settled. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) successfully annihilated the defending enemy in the city with lightning speed, announcing the victory of the Battle of Luoyang.
After the war, General Ding Qiusheng's military career did not end there. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he continued to hold important positions, successively serving as director of the Political Department of the Seventh Corps, deputy political commissar of the Zhejiang Military Region, and in 1955, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in recognition of his outstanding contributions to China's revolution and construction.
Inspired by his father's heroic image, Ding Yiping resolutely embarked on the journey of his military career when he graduated from middle school, joined the navy, and became a young soldier on a frigate.
Ding Yiping's military career is legendary. His path of growth, from the waves of the sea, from an unknown ordinary warrior, gradually grew into the best of the fleet. He was not only a deputy squad leader and deputy gunnery chief, but also an operational staff officer of the headquarters of the naval frigate detachment, and eventually became the captain of the Changsha ship. All these achievements embody Ding Yiping's countless days and nights of hard work and sweat.
In order to further deepen his military theory and actual combat ability, Ding Yiping later entered the Naval Command College, the National Defense University, and the ** Party School for further study. This series of learning experiences is obviously a high recognition and high expectation from the organization. Ding Yiping also responded to the organization's expectations with practical actions, and he performed well in various positions, especially since December 2000, when he served as deputy commander of the Jinan Military Region and commander of the North Sea Fleet, fully demonstrating his leadership and strategic vision.
During his service in the Navy, Ding Yiping had a similar experience with his father, Ding Qiusheng, who both joined the army at the same age and both held important positions in the same fleet. Such a coincidence is rare in the history of our army, and it also adds a bit of legend to the story between Ding Yiping and his father.
However, fate always likes to joke, and in April 2003, the Navy's 361 submarine incident occurred, and Ding Yiping was punished by administrative demotion, from the deputy post of the large military region to the post of full army. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Ding Yiping, who has always been thriving. But he was not defeated, but with a more tenacious will, he analyzed and summarized the cause of the accident, and soon was reused by the organization.
In August 2006, Ding Yiping was appointed deputy commander of the navy, a position he held until he stepped down in 2014. This experience is not only an affirmation of his personal ability, but also a recognition of his perseverance and courage to innovate himself.
The story of Ding Yiping is a legendary epic full of twists and turns, challenges, courage and wisdom. His military career, like his great father, became a model for those who came after him to look up to.
