Wu Ruilin was born in an ordinary peasant family, and since he was a child, he has worked hard in the embrace of the mountains and endured the oppression of landlords. In order to improve the life of his family, the young Wu Ruilin stepped into the brick kiln and began an apprenticeship. It was in this place full of dust and sweat that fate made him meet Qi Yingyuan and Lu Shouqian, two seniors. They not only taught Wu Ruilin how to wield a hammer, but more importantly, revealed to him a path to the light - communism.
Under the influence of Qi Yingyuan and Lu Shouqian, Wu Ruilin's thinking matured day by day, and he resolutely decided to join the Communist Youth League and plunge into the torrent of revolution. At that time, in the land of Bashu, although the red power spread like a spark, the situation was still complex and severe. The organization took a fancy to Wu Ruilin's familiarity with the terrain and his firm will, and approved his application as a traffic officer, and at the age of 13, he began to run around in Nanchong and other areas, becoming a hero of young people transmitting intelligence.
In 1932, Wu Ruilin ushered in a turning point in his life - welcoming the Red Army into Sichuan. At the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, he met with the Red 12th Division for the first time, and with a deep understanding of the mountains and rivers of his hometown, he led the Red Army troops all the way to conquer important towns, opening a new chapter in the revolution. At that moment, Wu Ruilin's name, together with the Red Army, was engraved on the land of Bashu.
The Battle of Ichichuan not only made Wu Ruilin famous in the Red Army, but also gave him the honor to get acquainted with *** general. ** Not only did he appreciate Wu Ruilin's bravery and wisdom, but on the eve of the capture of Bazhong, he personally held a party joining ceremony for Wu Ruilin, so that the 13-year-old boy officially became a member of the Communist Party of China, and specially approved him to join the army and become a member of the Red Army.
With the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Ruilin left the familiar Sichuan-Shaanxi battlefield and was sent to the more difficult Luyu anti-Japanese front. There, his team was unfortunately surrounded by Japanese troops. In the face of a desperate situation, Wu Ruilin showed extraordinary courage and wisdom, not only successfully leading the team to break through, but also being injured in the process and deeply affected by poison gas. Despite the heavy physical damage, Wu Ruilin's revolutionary will became stronger and stronger.
After being wounded, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility as the commander of the 2nd Brigade. With his extraordinary military talent, he skillfully used the terrain to create and lay mines to destroy the logistics lines of the Japanese army. In particular, one of his bold actions on the Jinpu Railway completely cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army, a feat that earned him the title of "Thor" and shook the entire land of Qilu.
With the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wu Ruilin was once again given a new mission - to march into the Northeast. However, the battlefield in the Northeast is full of difficulties and challenges. At one point, Wu Ruilin's troops were forced to retreat to the Songhua River due to lack of supplies, and the situation was precarious. At this critical moment, a paper order from the marshal ignited the flame of hope. Wu Ruilin was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and successfully obtained important material supplies from Marshal Malinovsky of the Soviet Union, laying the foundation for the persistence and development of the Northeast Battlefield.
When the Northeast Battlefield once again faced the challenge of the Kuomintang army, the independent division led by Wu Ruilin became a great wall of steel against the elite troops of the Kuomintang. In the face of the attack of the New 1st Army, the New 6th Army and the 52nd Army under the command of Du Yuming and Bai Chongxi, the Independent Division showed extraordinary combat effectiveness. On the border of South Manchuria, in the face of the heavy pressure of the Kuomintang troops, Wu Ruilin disregarded the military orders three times, made decisive decisions, led the troops to break through the siege mysteriously, and preserved the new force of the troops.
In this breakthrough operation, Du Yuming mistakenly thought that the independent division had been completely annihilated, and actually mistakenly announced the news of the death of "Wu Cripple" through **.
As the smoke of the Northeast battlefield gradually dissipated, Chiang Kai-shek, out of concern about Du Yuming's potential threat, decided to transfer him to Huaibei, and handed over the baton of the Northeast to Bai Chongxi. However, Bai Chongxi failed to organize the defense effectively, and eventually suffered a major defeat in the Liaoshen Campaign, and the Northeast was completely liberated.
After the liberation, Wu Ruilin played an important role in the new national cause, not only played an important role in the Heilongjiang region, but also led the army to participate bravely in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea as the commander of the 42nd Army. Especially in the Battle of Huangcaoling, his courageous figure became a solid cornerstone of the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake. In 1955, at the first military rank awarding ceremony in New China, Wu Ruilin was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and was later transferred to the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, contributing to the development of the navy.
On the National Day of 1962, Wu Ruilin was on Tiananmen Square, his eyes passed through the crowd, and he locked on a familiar figure on the tower of Tiananmen Gate - Du Yuming. With the approval of the ** marshal, Wu Ruilin walked towards Du Yuming and said, "Mr. Du, it's been a long time. I may be a name long gone in your memory, but fate has reunited us here. ”
Du Yuming looked at the lieutenant general in front of him, the expression on his face changed from surprise to thought, and finally pieced together the scattered fragments in his memory, "Wu Ruilin, that..."I thought it was already on the battlefield ....How could you....He stammered, his shock palpable.
Wu Ruilin smiled and explained the ins and outs of the misunderstanding, and the conversation between the two shifted from the smoke of war to the construction of peace, from personal grievances to the future of the country. On that special day, the two veterans who had gone through the beacon years crossed the boundaries that once divided them, looked back on the past and looked forward to the future with a new identity and perspective, and became friends who understood each other.
This dialogue is not only the unraveling of the knot between the two veterans, but also symbolizes the changes of an era and the greatness of human nature. On that sunny day, a page of history was gently turned and a new chapter was loaded.
