In the single-player game "Decisive Battle of Korea", there is a character named Lin Yifeng, who is based on the founding lieutenant general Wu Ruilin.
Within 20 days, the battalion commander was promoted to regimental political commissar
In 1915, Wu Ruilin was born into a poor peasant family in Bazhong County, Sichuan. He lost his father at the age of 3, went to the age of 6, and went to the brick and tile factory in Langzhong County to work as a hard worker at the age of 10.
At the brick and tile factory, Wu Ruilin joined the Chinese Communist Youth League and began a revolutionary career. He served as an underground traffic officer in northern Sichuan and Sichuan, and his main task was to carry out underground work in Tongnanba. During this period, because of the needs of the revolution, Wu Ruilin also had two pseudonyms, Yang Kun and Wu Bingcheng. With his own flexibility and fickleness, he has overcome dangers many times and completed tasks well, and the underground small traffic is worthy of the name.
In 1932, the Central County Committee of the Communist Party of China sent Wu Ruilin alone to the north of Tongjiang County to do liaison work. After the successful handover with the vanguard of the Red Fourth Front, through his vivid description, the Red Army drew up relevant maps and deployed the attack, while Wu Ruilin crossed the river alone to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, so that the Red Army successfully captured bazhong city. His abilities were appreciated by Commander Xu of the Red Fourth Front and others, and he became an official member of the Red Army and became a member of the Communist Party of China.
In the next "red expansion" work. Wu Ruilin only took 10 days to pull up a battalion and became the battalion commander with 500 people. Then, in less than 20 days, his ranks grew to more than 1,700 people, so the battalion was expanded into the Shaanxi-Gansu Youth Communist Pioneer Regiment, and Wu Ruilin became the regimental political commissar. In less than 20 days, the battalion-level cadres were promoted to regimental-level cadres, and this promotion rate broke the record at that time.
An important military figure in Sichuan and Shaanxi
Wu Ruilin is not only good at leading soldiers to fight, but his marksmanship is even more impressive, known as "one shot accurate".
In February 1932, Wu Ruilin commanded the vanguard regiment to go to the Empty Mountain Dam to take the defense, and repelled 20 enemy attacks in three days, during which he was seriously wounded. As a result, he was temporarily transferred to local work.
In the Battle of Yinan in August 1933, 18-year-old Wu Ruilin boldly proposed a night attack plan to Xu Shiyou, deputy commander of the Red 9 Army and commander of the 25th Division, showing his resourceful characteristics and impressing Xu Shiyou. This battle, which can be called a model of combining wisdom and frontal attack, was highly praised by Commander Xu.
At the same time as military activities, Wu Ruilin also served as secretary of the Northeast Sichuan Special Committee, secretary of the Tongjiang County CPC Committee, and many other important posts. "Military and political excellence, both civil and military integrity" to describe him is the most appropriate. Even Commander Xu praised him, saying he was "a capable man."
In October 1936, Wu Ruilin led an army to cross the snowy mountains two times and the meadows three times to reach northern Shaanxi and complete the Long March. It can be said that he was already an important military figure in Sichuan and Shaanxi at that time.
Wei Zhenri pseudo "Wu Lame Zi"
In May 1938, just as the trumpet of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the land of China was sounding, Wu Ruilin was ordered to go to Shandong and serve as the political commissar of the second detachment of the Shandong Column, responsible for leading his subordinates to advance into ludongnan. Under the excellent command of Wu Ruilin, the second detachment quickly opened up the situation in Southeast Lu. In November of the same year, he again commanded the second detachment to march eastward, fiercely fighting in the berth, shelling the tribute, and every battle was awe-inspiring. In September of the following year, he commanded his troops to kill and wound more than 60 enemy soldiers at the Laiwu Shizi Temple, seriously wounding his right leg during the battle, and was nicknamed "Wu Lame Zi".
In June 1940, in order to ensure the agricultural income of the masses, Wu Ruilin commanded the 1st Regiment to grab grain with the Japanese army and annihilate more than 50 Japanese troops. For a time, the reputation of the "Wu Lame Son" was greatly enhanced, and the Japanese puppet army was terrified. In January of the following year, the Japanese army attacked the anti-Japanese base area in the northeast of Lai (Wu), and Wu Ruilin led his troops to fight fiercely for 9 days and 9 nights, annihilating more than 270 enemy people, and he was seriously wounded again in this battle.
In the autumn of 1942, Wu Ruilin was transferred to the commander of the Second Military Subdistrict of the Luzhong Military Region. In the anti-"mopping-up" battle in November of the following year, he commanded the troops of the military sub-district to hold out for 15 days, annihilating more than 300 enemy troops and only 9 casualties on his side. In 1944, Wu Ruilin led his troops to participate in the battle against the puppet army Wu Huawen, which dealt a major blow to Wu Bu; in August, he participated in the battle to liberate Yishui City.
In the spring of 1945, Wu Ruilin unified the command of several units of the Luzhong Military Region, and with the tactics of close combat, night combat, and multi-directional breakthroughs, he conquered Mengyin City, completely annihilating more than 1,300 enemy defenders, and connecting the Yimeng Mountains and the Tainan Mountains.
Four field generals who can fight in the usual battles
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our army dispatched a large number of backbone forces into the strategic northeast. Wu Ruilin was appointed chief of staff of the Eastern Manchuria Provisional Command, and after the temporary command was reorganized into the Liaodong Military Region, he served as the chief of staff of the military region.
In the process of contacting the Soviet Red Army, Soviet Marshal Malinovsky saw more than a dozen scars on Wu Ruilin's body, thought that he was a veteran of the battlefield, treated him as a guest, and gave our army 13 wagons of ammunition.
In the summer of 1946, Wu Ruilin served as the commander of the Liaonan Military Region and concurrently served as the commander of the division, leading the troops and the elite of the Nationalist army, and Liao Yaoxiang's New 6th Army. In October and November, he led his troops and the New 6th Army to fight for 5 consecutive battles, which effectively cooperated with the main force's defense of the river.
In June 1947, Wu Ruilin was ordered to lead his troops to attack the enemy in Anshan within two days to contain and cooperate with the ongoing Siping Offensive. It was the rainy season, and the troops were too far away from Anshan, separated by 5 rivers that were rising. Unable to succeed in the attack, Wu Ruilin resolutely changed his tactics, led the independent 1st Division to attack Dashiqiao, and annihilated the Independent 3rd Division of the Nationalist Army with the strength of his own 1 division, and also pinned down several enemy divisions that could not reinforce Siping, which played a special role in the same destination. For this reason, Wu Ruilin was commended by his superiors. In the winter offensive, Wu Ruilin led the independent 1st Division to independently conquer Yingkou, annihilating more than 10,000 enemies, capturing 2 warships, and also leading to the uprising of the independent 9th Division of the Nationalist Army, Wu Ruilin was once again commended by the Central Military Commission.
At the end of March 1948, the Higashino 5 Column was established, and Wu Ruilin was appointed as the deputy commander. In the Battle of Liaoshen, Wu Ruilin led his troops to participate in the siege and annihilation of Liao Yaoxiang's corps. Subsequently, Wu Ruilin led his troops to participate in the Battle of Pingjin (at this time, the 5th Column was renamed the 42nd Army, and Wu Ruilin was appointed as the deputy commander). In April 1949, Wu Ruilin was promoted to commander of the 42nd Army, and led his troops to carry out the operation of going south and liberating the great southwest, which was highly praised by the chief of "Liu Deng" in Erye.
The Korean battlefield is mighty
Wu Ruilin was one of the first four commanders of our army to enter the Korean battlefield.
In October 1950, Wu Ruilin led his troops to travel 60 kilometers overnight to Huangcao Ridge and Zhan Ling, seize important territories, and set up camps. The 42nd Army fought bloody battles for thirteen consecutive days, repelled countless ferocious attacks by the US army, and successfully completed the mission. Not long after the joy of victory, he began the second campaign, commanding the 42nd Army, the 38th Army and the South Korean Army to fight fiercely, successfully occupying the Tokugawa Ningyuan area, opening a gap for the battle. At the beginning of the third campaign, Wu Ruilin once again unified the command of the 42nd Army and the 66th Army to attack the "38th Line". On the battlefield, Wu Ruilin, who was meticulous in his thinking and comprehensive in deployment, and acted alone, made other military commanders envious.
In the fourth campaign, Wu Ruilin commanded the 42nd Army to participate in the famous Hengcheng Counterattack, and together with his brother troops, severely damaged the US 2nd Division and many units of the South Korean Army, forcing the enemy to retreat 26 kilometers. In June 1951, Wu Ruilin, Liu Xiyuan, Wu Xinquan, Wen Yucheng, and others returned to China with Deng Hua, deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, to report on their work, and received high-standard condolences from the great people who specially set up a family banquet.
In the later battles to consolidate the position, Wu Ruilin used his sharpshooter's strengths to direct the troops to carry out cold gun and cold artillery sniper activities, which soon spread among other units of the Volunteer Army.
In the Korean battlefield, Wu Ruilin's 42nd Army composed the legendary stories of the "Huangcaoling Hero Company", "Yantai Peak Hero Company", "38th Line Sharp Knife Hero Company" and "Shicheng Danang Hero Company", annihilating more than 28,000 enemy personnel. Guan Chonggui, An Bingxun, and Yuanbaoshan all emerged and obtained a number of heroic individuals.
It is worth mentioning that the 42nd Army, with its brilliant achievements in the Korean battlefield, has retained its name after the successive major disarmaments of the People's Liberation Army and is now an important unit in the southern theater.
By the name of the army will become a famous admiral of the navy
In the spring of 1953, Wu Ruilin left Korea, returned to China with honor, was entrusted by the state with heavy responsibilities, served as the commander of the Hainan Military Region and the first secretary of the party committee of the military region, and began his struggle to consolidate the frontier of the Wanli Sea. A few years later, Wu Ruilin served as commander of the South China Sea Fleet and deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region.
In February 1966, the Haizheng Cultural and Labor Troupe created and performed the seven-act drama "Night Naval Battle Song", which sensationalized both inside and outside the army, and the background of the work was the "Eight and Six Naval Battles" commanded by Wu Ruilin.
On August 6, 1965, two submarine-hunting ships of the Kuomintang army invaded the coast of our mainland, and under the command of Commander Wu Ruilin, the South China Sea Fleet sank its two ships, the "Jianmen" and "Zhangjiang," killed the enemy chief Hu Jiaheng, killed more than 170 enemy troops, and captured 33 enemy people. Wu Ruilin will become a famous admiral of the Navy from the army.
In September 1955, Wu Ruilin was awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In October 1968, he was successively appointed executive deputy commander of the Navy and deputy secretary of the party committee of the Central Military Commission, mainly responsible for managing industrial construction and directing operations. In 1995, this generation of famous people who shook the north and south of the river passed away at the age of 80
