The deeds of "Dong Cunrui bombing the bunker" should be regarded as a household name, and it has appeared many times in the teaching materials of our nine-year compulsory education, and teachers will also cite several heroes and martyrs when teaching us to remember history, including Dong Cunrui.
Just like the author of "Andersen's Fairy Tales" is Hans Christian Andersen, and the author of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is The grimm brothers, then who is the author of the story of "Dong Cunrui Bombing the Bunker"?
Few people seem to have paid attention to this question, because our attention is drawn to Dong Cunrui's brave and selfless dedication, and the interest in his author is certainly not worth mentioning.
And what we bring to you today is the story of the author of "Dong Cunrui Bombing bunker". Strictly speaking, "Dong Cunrui bombed the bunker" is a true story, he was seen and recorded by his author Li Zhenjun with his own eyes and recorded the real deeds of propaganda. And Li Zhenjun has created not only this one heroic image, but also the well-known "Mulan in the army" Guo Junqing.
Joined the Eighth Route Army
Li Zhenjun, a native of the Miao ethnic group, was born in 1920 in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province. His father was the last Xiucai at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and he was on the same list as the great teacher Xu Teli, so the family was also a scholar.
Li Zhenjun was tutored by his father to read and read from a young age, and the time of study was earlier than others, and when Li Zhenjun entered the county model primary school, the results were naturally very excellent, and after graduating from primary school, he was also successfully admitted to Yuanli Middle School.
Later, Japan's all-out war of aggression against China broke out completely, the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communists were successful, and the Red Army was transformed into the Eighth Route Army. Sitting in the classroom, Li Zhenjun's heart could not calm down, and his mind was full of news about the front line from the newspaper.
Like most boys of this age, he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to join the army to defend his homeland and go to the front to drive the Invading Japanese Army out of the border.
As soon as Li Zhenjun ran home after school, he told his father that he wanted to join the army, and his father was also a person who had read the sages' books, and after a little thought, he agreed, and now that the country is alive and dead, he can't "the businesswoman does not know the hatred of the country, and the river still sings the backyard flowers", he knows the relationship between "small family" and "everyone".
At this time, Just as Xu Teli also returned from Yan'an to his hometown in Hunan, where he had been away for a long time, Li Zhenjun's father brought Li Zhenjun to visit, hoping that Xu Teli would write a letter of introduction to his son, and Xu Teli gladly agreed.
So, seventeen-year-old Li Zhenjun went to Yan'an with a letter of recommendation from Xu Teli to the great man, joined the Eighth Route Army, and joined the Communist Party of China.
Experiences during the Anti-Japanese Period
After joining the army, Li Zhenjun did not completely give up studying, and successively studied at The Northern Shaanxi Public School and the Yan'an Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and worked in the school after graduation.
Later, he served as an education officer and party affairs officer of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University in Yan'an, allowing the school to cultivate more senior talents in politics, military, united front and other aspects.
At that time, the Jizhong Military Region was a second-level military region belonging to the Eighth Route Army, and its commander was Lu Zhengcao, and the following five military sub-districts. In its heyday, there were forty-four counties, eight million people, and 6.3 million troops, because they were too rich to be called "China's Ukraine" by their own people, while the Japanese army called it "the military station of the eighth road".
In order to destroy this military region, the Japanese army launched the "May Day Sweep".
During the May Day sweep, the acting instructor and general secretary of the Jizhong Anti-Japanese Regiment Brigade were captured by the Imperial Allied Forces.
Because Li Zhenjun did not wear the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army at that time, and was wearing the clothes of ordinary people, the Imperial Allied Army thought that he was a civilian who helped the Eighth Route Army bury their guns, so they did not kill him, but only imprisoned him with other ordinary people in a prisoner-of-war camp in Shijiazhuang, and later sent to the northeast to do coolies
Li Zhenjun, who was locked up in the Fuxin Coal Mine in Liaoning Province, certainly would not just sit still. When he was imprisoned, Li Zhenjun began to think about how to escape, and used his knowledge to make an escape plan.
He could not take care of himself alone, if he was the only one who escaped, the rest of his compatriots would suffer because of him, so he was constantly perfecting his plan every day, trying to be foolproof!
In 1943, Li Zhenjun and other imprisoned comrades-in-arms led the people to launch a riot and rushed back to the First Subdistrict of Langya Mountain in Hebei Province day and night.
After returning, he was subject to organizational scrutiny, after all, not everyone could remain loyal after experiencing the torture of the Japanese army.
In 1944, Li Zhenjun was dismissed from the examination and promoted to deputy chief of the organization section. At that time, the commander of the first sub-district was transferred to other sub-districts, and the new commander was Xiao Yingtang, who was good at talking, and with him came Li Zhenjun's old boss Long Daoquan, who had a particularly good relationship with Li Zhenjun, so he completely liberated Li Zhenjun.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War
In 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally. Soon after, there was a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communists, and Li Zhenjun took part in the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign of the three major battles, and won the victory of annihilating the Eleventh Division of the Nationalist Army and successfully blocking the Thirteenth Army of the Nationalist Army.
In the later Battles of Crossing the River and the Battle of Gannan, Li Zhenjun was also present, and the many battles he experienced also left large and small scars on his body.
In 1949, the People's Republic of China was founded. After that, Li Zhenjun held several positions.
Because he graduated from the Yan'an Anti-Japanese Military and Political University and held many important positions, Li Zhenjun's research on political ideology was much deeper than that of ordinary people, and he was very good at discovering heroic models on the battlefield and using typical strength to strengthen the political ideology of the troops.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, many combat heroes were publicized, such as Dong Cunrui, Guo Junqing, Huang Zuxi, Ouyang Hai and so on.
During the "Cultural Revolution," Li Zhenjun also successively served as deputy political commissar of the Hunan Provincial Military Region, member of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial Revolutionary Committee, deputy director of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, and secretary of the provincial party committee.
Because he has always been worried about the future of the country and the fate of the people, Li Zhenjun desperately resisted the "ultra-left" ideology in the party and maintained Hunan society in a stable state.
Because Li Zhenjun's marriage and husband left early, Li Zhenjun also had a lot of old adult injuries on his body, and he regarded work as more important than anything else, resulting in a person who was very inconvenient in life and needed a person to take care of him.
Later, Deng Yingchao acted as a matchmaker and introduced He Long's daughter to Li Zhenjun, and the impression of the first meeting between the two was very good, and they got married in 1978.
In the same year, Li Zhenjun was also transferred back to the army to serve as deputy director of the Political Department of the Academy of Military Sciences. After the establishment of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force in 1982, he served as deputy political commissar of the headquarters of the People's Armed Police Force, and around the late 1980s, Li Zhenjun retired from the army.
If he had retired a few years later and participated in the 1988 award, he would most likely have been awarded the rank of general. Although he had no connection with the rank of general, his wife He Jiesheng was awarded the rank of general in 1996.
brief summary:
Li Zhenjun's life can also be regarded as magnificent, and his political merits are particularly prominent. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he made many contributions to the country's politics, and after the founding of New China, he devoted himself to his work and sought the welfare of the grass-roots people.
From this poem, "Hurriedly enter the ancient rarity, and go through vicissitudes." Dedication to make up for the rest of the momentum, optimistic world to see the real face. "We can see the greatness of Li Zhenjun's dedication. Although he is gone, His spirit lives on, and as long as we have one person who remembers Him, He will still live in our hearts.
