Ding Yiping was born in a "military family", and his father, Ding Qiusheng, was a senior general of our army who came out of the Long March.
In September 1930, 17-year-old Ding Qiusheng resolutely joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and embarked on a long revolutionary journey.
After enlisting in the army, Ding Qiusheng successively participated in three anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations in the ** Soviet region; although he was still young and had no combat experience, he dared to fight and rush in the battle, and was not afraid, so he won the appreciation of the leaders of the troops.
In 1933, Ding Qiusheng, who had only been in the army for three years, was promoted to deputy instructor and secretary of the party branch of the machine gun company of the fourth regiment of the third division of the Red Third Army for his outstanding performance, and was soon promoted to the posts of political commissar of the regiment and secretary of the general branch of the regiment.
During the long and arduous revolutionary struggle, Ding Qiusheng was wounded many times, especially in the battle of Guangchang in early 1934, when the artery of his left arm was broken, and he immediately bled profusely, and when the soldiers took him to the hospital, Ding Qiusheng was already dying.
Dean Fu Lianhuan hurriedly operated on him and organized more than a dozen soldiers to transfuse blood for him, although his life was saved in the end, the function of his left arm was also damaged.
However, after more than a month of short ** and recuperation, Ding Qiusheng resolutely went to the front line of the battlefield.
General Ding Qiusheng fought bravely and commanded well, and was a "tiger general" in our army.
At the beginning of 1948, in order to cooperate with our army's offensive in the northwest battlefield, the superiors decided to launch the "Luoyang Campaign", and the 3rd Column of Huaye with Ding Qiusheng as the political commissar served as the general offensive.
At that time, the enemy deployed 20,000 troops in Luoyang and built a large number of semi-permanent and permanent defenses, which can be called "impregnable".
After receiving the order, Ding Qiusheng immediately held a meeting with Sun Jixian (founding lieutenant general), the acting commander of the column, to draw up a battle plan.
On the evening of March 11, the battle officially began. In the face of the powerful offensive of our army, the defenders of Luoyang had no power to fight back, most of them were annihilated, and the remnants of more than 4,000 people all retreated to the sports ground in the northwest of the city, built positions, and waited for reinforcements.
Luoyang, as an important transportation hub connecting the Northwest Battlefield of the Kuomintang Army and the Central Plains Battlefield, once lost, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, after Chiang Kai-shek heard the news, he immediately ordered Hu Lian, Sun Yuanliang and Pei Changhui three corps to go to reinforcements.
The enemy's reinforcements are coming, and if our army cannot quickly take Luoyang, not only will its previous achievements be wasted, but it will also fall into the enemy's counter-encirclement.
So, in order to take Luoyang City in one go, Ding Qiusheng and Sun Jixian went to the front line of the battlefield to command the battle.
The head of the column came to the front line in person, which greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and finally, after several hours of fierce fighting, finally annihilated the defending enemy and liberated Luoyang City.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ding Qiusheng successively served as director of the Political Department of the Seventh Corps and Zhejiang Military Region, deputy political commissar of the Zhejiang Military Region, and political commissar of the Navy's North Sea Fleet, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in September 1955.
There is no doubt that the legendary revolutionary deeds of General Ding Qiusheng have had a profound impact on his son Ding Yiping, so after graduating from middle school, Ding Yiping, who was only 17 years old, signed up for the army and became an ordinary soldier in the Navy frigate detachment.
In less than 10 years after joining the army, Ding Yiping relied on his own efforts to rise step by step from an ordinary soldier to the posts of deputy squad leader, deputy gun chief, staff officer of the training section of the headquarters of the Navy frigate detachment, and captain of the Changsha ship.
After September 1980, Ding Yiping successively entered the ship command class of the Naval Command College, the national defense research class of the National Defense University, and the in-service graduate class of provincial and ministerial-level cadres of the ** Party School.
Of course, Ding Yiping did not live up to the high expectations of the organization, and he performed extremely well in his work, serving as deputy commander of the Jinan Military Region and commander of the North Sea Fleet since December 2000.
Father and son joined the army at the same age and served in the same fleet successively, and both were leaders of the fleet, which is relatively rare in the history of our army.
In July 2002, Ding Yiping, who was 51 years old at the time, was officially promoted to the rank of vice admiral.
However, Ding Yiping, who originally had a bright future, was administratively demoted due to the Navy's 361 submarine incident that occurred in April 2003, and was demoted from the deputy post of the large military region to the rank of full army, with the rank of lieutenant general.
At that time, Chen Xianxian, then political commissar of the North Sea Fleet, was also punished by administrative demotion. In addition, the remaining eight relevant personnel were also subject to disciplinary actions such as administrative dismissal and demotion.
However, Ding Yiping was not depressed by this, on the contrary, he actively analyzed and summarized the accident, and soon after he was reused by the organization, and served as deputy commander of the Navy from August 2006 until he stepped down in 2014.
After retiring from the leadership post, General Ding Yiping was keen on philanthropy and continued to exert his spare ...... for the societyList of high-quality authors
