After the great award, there is a saying, that is, the general of Xiao Kezhen, what many people don't know is that in fact, in addition to Xiao Ke, there is another person who can "suppress" the general, that is, Li Jukui, who is known as the "general saint", but the strange thing is that Li Jukui was only awarded the title of general in 1958.

Why didn't Li Jukui participate in the 1955 award? This has to start from his special experience, ** evaluation of him is very high, ** once said: "This person's contribution is very great, without him, the founding of New China may be 10 years late!" ”

Li Jukui is a native of Anhua County, Hunan, formerly known as Li Xinxi, because his family was poor when he was a child, he only went to school for a few years, he joined the National Revolutionary Army despite the opposition of his parents, and became a soldier in the Eighth Army Engineer Battalion.

However, the decay of the old army made Li Jukui unacceptable, until he met Mr. Peng, so that he strengthened his belief in the revolution, in 1928, Li Jukui followed Mr. Peng and others to participate in the Pingjiang Uprising, it is worth saying that Li Jukui also saved Mr. Peng's life at that time.

After the uprising, Mr. Peng spoke to the soldiers, and suddenly a traitor raised a gun and pointed it at *** Li Jukui quickly pounced on the traitor when he saw this, and was thrown to the ground without waiting for the other party to shoot, thus protecting Mr. Peng.

In 1929, ** and Mr. Zhu led the main force of the Red 4th Army to southern Jiangxi and western Fujian, and carried out external operations, leaving only a small number of Red Army soldiers to guard Jinggangshan.

After the main force left Jinggangshan, the enemy launched a fierce attack on Jinggangshan, Li Jukui commanded the team to fight fiercely for 4 days and nights, and when the enemy was outnumbered, he resisted the enemy's attack with inferior forces and successfully protected the Jinggangshan base area.

During the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" period, Li Jukui commanded troops to intersperse operations, at the cost of 46 people, eliminated more than 3,000 people of the enemy's division headquarters and a brigade, and captured the enemy's division commander Li Ming.

Later, on the Long March and during the Anti-Japanese War, Li Jukui became the deputy chief of staff of the Siye Command, and in 1950, Li Jukui was transferred to the head of the logistics department of the Northeast Military Region, and then provided sufficient logistics support for the Volunteer Army.

In fact, according to Li Jukui's rating and military exploits, he should have been awarded the rank of general, and in 1955 he was successively awarded the first-class August 1st Medal, the first-class Independent Freedom Medal, and the first-class Liberation Medal.

At that time, in order to implement the instructions of the first to grasp the oil industry, he personally selected Li Jukui to be the minister of petroleum, Li Jukui knew that he would miss the big award, he was still willing to serve as the minister of oil, but when he carefully transferred Li Jukui out of the army, he still retained his military status.

In 1958, Li Jukui was retransferred back to the army to work, **personally reported to ask for instructions*** to award him the rank of general, **saw the report, and immediately approved the word "agree", but Li Jukui had to succumb to the general, which shows that Li Jukui can also be "town general".
