Hou Jingru: **Lieutenant General,He is a physicist
Hou Jingru was born in 1902 into a poor family in Henan, when society was in turmoil and revolutionary ideas were emerging. ”
Hou Jingru came from a poor background, but he was talented and tireless in learning. He worked hard every day, worked hard to gain more knowledge. Eventually, his hard work paid off, as he was accepted into the Henan Provincial Preparatory School for Studying in the United States and was given the opportunity to study in Europe.
He was also a newcomer to the Communist Party.
Hou Jingru was a progressive intellectual, deeply influenced by communism, and gradually leaned towards the Communist Party. In order to pursue higher ideals, he gave up the opportunity to study abroad and applied for the Whampoa Military Academy instead.
When he signed up, he met ***, who was in charge of the first phase of enrollment at the Whampoa Military Academy, and the two hit it off at first sight, and they were very optimistic about him. After layers of assessment, Hou Jingru stood out with his outstanding performance and successfully entered the Whampoa Military Academy to study.
At the Whampoa Military Academy, he became classmates with well-known figures such as Jiang Xianyun and Chen Geng.
Under the recommendation of ***, Hou Jingru joined the Communist Party and participated in the Northern Expedition, he experienced many battles such as the Shanghai Uprising and the Nanchang Uprising, and always struggled on the front line of the revolution.
In order to improve the military skills and command level of the workers' pickets, ** sent Hou Jingru to Shanghai to teach, and finally with the joint efforts of everyone, they successfully revolted and occupied the Shanghai area.
Hou Jingru's personal ability has been widely recognized, and ** is also very appreciative of his talent. Subsequently, ** introduced him to Mr. He, and served as the head of the 20th Army Teaching Corps under Mr. He.
In the Nanchang Uprising, Hou Jingru successfully defeated the "Daxiaochang" battle of the 79th Regiment, the main force of the enemy, with his excellent command.
During the Nanchang Uprising, Hou Jingru was unfortunately seriously injured and was forced to temporarily leave the battlefield and transfer to Shanghai**. After that, he was actively involved in assisting *** with underground work.
However, while on a mission to Henan, he unfortunately lost contact with the troops. During the same period, President Chiang staged a coup d'état and brutally suppressed the Communist Party. Gu Shunzhang, who was the director of the ** Security Bureau at the time, defected to the enemy, and the traitors within our party leaked a lot of important information about the underground work organization in Shanghai, and many comrades were captured by the enemy and tortured.
In order to protect the safety of the comrades, ** decisively decided to suspend everyone's underground work and wait for the opportunity.
After learning the news, Hou Jingru immediately returned to Shanghai, but he could not find any news of the party organization everywhere and lost contact with the party. He stayed at home every day, feeling dull and depressed with nothing to do.
After the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army invaded Chinese land even more rampantly, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil. When the Battle of Songhu broke out, Hou Jingru's Whampoa Military Academy classmate Yuan Shouqian saw that he was decadent and depressed, so he introduced him to the director of the 30th Division of the Northwest Army of the Kuomintang and joined forces to resist Japan.
In 1939, Hou Jingru fought against the Japanese army in the Huaibei area, frequently attacked the Japanese army's transportation lines, and achieved success.
Hou Jingru, adhering to the will of President Chiang, led the army east into Shandong in 1941, joined forces with friendly forces against the Japanese puppet army, and achieved major victories and won numerous victories. With his excellent command ability and courageous fighting spirit, he defeated the enemy army in many key battles such as the Battle of Taierzhuang and the Battle of Wuhan, and won high praise from President Jiang.
In 1943, Hou Jingru was promoted to the commander of the 92nd Army under the promotion of President Jiang, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, becoming a high-profile figure among the generals of the national government.
In 1948, the Kuomintang army suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Jinzhou and was forced to retreat to the Northeast Battlefield. ** Immediately decided, seized the fighter, and the Liaoshen Battle kicked off.
The People's Liberation Army, with its superior tactical skills and high speed, successfully encircled Jinzhou. Jinzhou is located at the throat of North China and Northeast China, and occupying Jinzhou is equivalent to blocking the retreat route of the main Kuomintang forces in Northeast China, thus controlling the western Liaoning region.
President Jiang was so anxious that he immediately mobilized the North China troops to Jinzhou, and at the same time sent Hou Jingru to command the eastward march to rescue Jinzhou. However, Hou Jingru's actions were far from President Chiang's plan.
Hou Jingru, who was supposed to rush to Tashan in three days, walked for eleven days. It is said that President Jiang had urgently ordered Hou Jingru to rush to Jinzhou as soon as possible to rescue Fan Hanjie, and to save Jinzhou City no matter what.
However, ** also gave Hou Jing an instruction, asking him to delay as much time as possible. When Hou Jingru's troops were about to arrive at Tashan, he suddenly sent a telegram to President Chiang, claiming that he had forgotten to bring tanks because he was in a hurry and needed to wait a little longer.
Jinzhou is in danger, and the Tashan resistance battle is imminent. Principal Chiang immediately sent a new candidate to command the battle. In fact, it was not Hou Jingru's negligence, when they were on the way from Shandong to Huludao in the northeast, the crane at the port broke down, so Hou Jingru led the troops to Tashan first, waiting for the crane to be repaired before transporting the tank.
However, after waiting for several days, Jinzhou has been successfully occupied by our troops. Tashan was the only channel for the Kuomintang army to aid Jinzhou, and our party army had already set up an ambush in Tashan.
The terrain of Tashan is complex, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the two armies launched a fierce life-and-death struggle in Tashan.
The Kuomintang had a clear geographical advantage, but due to internal disunity and constant strife, it lost the support of the people. In addition, Fan Hanjie, the ** general of Jinzhou, sacrificed the defenders of Yixian County for the sake of temporary tranquility, which further aggravated the chaos of the Kuomintang army.
The Kuomintang general Luo Qi was arrogant, and in order to monopolize the first credit, he forcibly excluded dissidents and chose to take a day off. This decision allowed our army valuable time to recuperate and strengthen its military defenses, as well as to build new anti-tank trenches and lay various barbed wire and mines.
The whole of our army understood the importance of Tashan and were determined to keep the Tashan position at all costs. The victory in the Battle of Tashan dealt a huge blow to the Kuomintang army, and the battle was extremely tragic.
The Kuomintang failed to break through the line of defense at Tower Hill. On October 14, 1948, the Northeast Field Army, in accordance with the instructions of the **Military Commission and the ******, gathered the main force and launched a final attack on Jinzhou under the cover of artillery fire.
After more than 30 hours of fierce fighting, Jinzhou was conquered on the evening of the 15th. Lieutenant General Fan Hanjie, deputy commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Northeast "Suppression General", and others were captured. Since then, our Party has succeeded in blocking the retreat of the Kuomintang from the land to Kwantung.
** once commented: "The victory in the Battle of Jinzhou perfectly executed the wise strategic decision of the Northeast, successfully controlled the key throat of the Kuomintang army in the Northeast, and laid a solid foundation for the comprehensive liberation of the Northeast region." ”
The victory in this Jinzhou battle was not easy to come by, and it was a great victory.
Principal Chiang once tried to retake Jinzhou, but in the end he realized the cruelty of reality, and with regret and helplessness, he quickly led the Kuomintang troops in Tashan to withdraw to North China.
Every soldier paid the price of their lives, exchanged their flesh and blood for the liberation of Jinzhou, and fired the first shot to liberate the entire northeast. Now, they will return to *** to continue the struggle for the unity and prosperity of the country.
In 1947, Hou Jingru met *** by chance, and he was very embarrassed by this former teacher. That night, ** arranged for Chen Geng to bring Hou Jingru to meet, and the two people who had been separated for a long time hugged each other tightly and talked for a long time.
Soon after, ** personally wrote a letter to Hou Jingru, explaining the reason for the loss of contact due to Gu Shunzhang's defection, and said that as long as Hou Jingru returned to the past Kuomintang, the matter could not be investigated.
Hou Jingru, who received the letter, suddenly became enlightened and decided to throw himself into the arms of the Communist Party again.
** Cleverly allowed Hou Jingru to remain lurking in the Kuomintang as a test of his loyalty to the Communist Party. Hou Jingru felt that the Kuomintang was gone, and he longed for liberation and the welfare of the people, so he agreed to the uprising.
Hou Jingru's status is very special, he was one of the first members of the Communist Party, and after losing contact with the party, he joined the Kuomintang and served as a lieutenant general. Years later, he led his loyal subordinates to revolt, secretly cooperated with the People's Liberation Army, and successfully liberated Beiping and Fuzhou.
He eventually returned to the arms of ***.
Hou Jingru was born in a turbulent era and has experienced vicissitudes. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as a counselor, a member of the National Defense Commission, and the president of the Whampoa Alumni Association, contributing his own strength to national construction.
Even in his advanced age, he still pays attention to national affairs and is passionate about education. In 1994, the great revolutionary passed away at the age of 91, but his spirit and legacy will always be remembered by future generations.
He understands the importance of learning, so he does his best to nurture his children to become talented people who can contribute to society.
Under Hou Jingru's words and deeds, the spirit of patriotism was deeply imprinted in the hearts of his sons and daughters and fused into their spiritual world. Hou Jingru's son, Hou Boyu, is an outstanding physicist who has devoted his life to physics research, and has served as a doctoral supervisor at the Institute of Physics at Northwest University.
He has made many outstanding scientific achievements in physics research, among which the famous "Hou's theory" is his masterpiece. Hou Boyu was diligent and hardworking, regarded the study of physics as his lifelong ideal and pursuit, and made great contributions to the motherland with his life.
Hou Boyu died tragically after spending his 80th birthday in Xi'an. His son Hou Bowen, after the success of his career, in order to fulfill the last wish of his father Hou Jingru, set up an institution called "Hou Jingru Student Aid Association" at Henan University to support the education of his hometown.
Hou Jingru was a member of the Communist camp, he secretly supported the People's Liberation Army, and made many outstanding contributions, and his life was complete.
Hou Jingru has gone through many changes in times and camps, and after a long period of revolutionary tempering, he finally became an outstanding leader who sacrificed his blood for the nation, did his best for the country, and did his best for the people.
The choices of life have far-reaching impacts, and choosing the right path can achieve brilliance. Most people get lost in the journey of life and live a mediocre life, and only a few people have embarked on the right path with wisdom and opportunity.
Hou Jingru made wise choices at critical moments in his life to achieve what he is today, and he has also left a valuable spiritual legacy for his descendants.
Every choice can be a force that pushes us forward and leads us to success. There are no assumptions in life, only facts, and the order of our choices and decisions are very important.
Our potential and achievements depend largely on our choices. And making the right choice requires us to be strong and firm in our hearts, and only by maintaining inner stability can we go further on the road of life.
Life choices are like a journey without a return ticket, and we must make every decision carefully.
