2020 marks the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. We cannot help but wonder how, in the 1940s, when the country was poor and white, how did we win the war just after defeating the Japanese aggressors and then in the war of liberation? And after using the strength of the whole country to establish a new China, did they not hesitate to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and win the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea?
In fact, from the historical data, it is not difficult for us to see that the most important factor was the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee at that time, and there were other material factors that we already had a certain military foundation at that time and had the military strength to resist the aggressors.
Another indispensable factor is "people". Whether in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, man was the most indispensable factor, and from basic soldiers to officers who wielded great power, they all played a certain role and influence on the victory of a war.
Before the establishment of the national united front, after the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was forced to march in order to preserve the number of the Red Army at that time and preserve its military strength.
Among them, there was such a general in the ranks of the Communist Party at that time, who did not participate in the Long March, but accepted the orders of the Party Central Committee, asking him and his subordinates to stay in the base areas to confuse the enemy. Although he did not participate in the Long March, he did a very good job in completing the tasks entrusted to him by the Party.
Since then, he has been serving as an important leader, leading the army and the people to achieve liberation and victory, and after the founding of New China, he served as the secretary of the provincial party committee of five provinces, with outstanding political achievements, leading the people step by step to a new era. So who is this soldier? Why did he stay at that time? As a very accomplished and military man, what is his superiority?
From "Little Red Devil" to "AB Regiment": Rescued by the crowd
Born in the early 1900s of the Yongxin County clan in Jiangxi Province, the soldier was named Tan Qilong, a relatively poor man in the Xianggan region at the time, and Tan Qilong did not receive much education before joining the Chinese Communist Youth League.
When he was fifteen years old, he actively joined the Communist Youth League of China, became a reserve army of the Party, and carried out the revolution with many young people in the League at that time.
Because of his cleverness, he was called "Little Red Devil" by many people at the time. "Red" is because he is bent on fighting for the cause of communism, and "little ghost" is everyone's nickname for him, but the nutrition is poor, Tan Qilong was very thin when he was young, even if he was fifteen years old, in the young team at that time, he also looked like a "little ghost head".
At that time, Tan Qilong was very enthusiastic about revolutionary activities, but during a purging campaign, he was unjustly called a reactionary at that time. The main purpose of this purging campaign, initiated by Wang Ming, was to eliminate the reactionary personnel in the Xianggan base area at that time, but in actual operation, it changed its flavor and caused some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.
At that time, these purged people were called "AB counter-revolutionaries" (A refers to opposition, B refers to Bolsheviks), and somehow Tan Qilong was included in it, when Tan Qilong was included, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and some people who knew him at that time did not believe that this famous "little red devil" could be an "AB" member.
Under these circumstances, everyone tried to protect Tan Qilong, plus Tan Qilong himself was not afraid of danger, and in the end he saved his life, retaining an excellent talent for later joining the Communist Party of China and participating in various revolutionary activities.
This experience also left a deep impression on Tan Qilong at that time, showing his calm character, and playing an immeasurable role in his subsequent achievements.
Three years of "guerrilla warfare" in the south overcame all kinds of difficulties
Since Tan Qilong joined the Chinese Communist Youth League in the fifteenth year, he has been carrying out revolutionary activities in the xianggan base area at that time, which was a very important area under the leadership of the Communist Party of China at that time.
In this area, the agrarian revolution of "fighting local tycoons and dividing up the land" has been carried out long ago. However, the Kuomintang reactionaries at that time did not want other regimes in this area to exist, so they launched "encirclement and suppression." At that time, under the leadership of the leaders, the military and people in the Xianggan base area repeatedly "countered encirclement and suppression" and achieved success.
Each "anti-encirclement and suppression" involved Tan Qilong, who accumulated experience for him to carry out guerrilla warfare in the Xianggan region for three years thereafter. When the fifth "anti-encirclement and suppression" failed, the main leaders at that time decided to carry out the Long March, gathering the main Red Army forces at that time to resist the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang reactionaries at that time. However, when the Red Army began the Long March, the young Tan Qilong received an organizational request to stay in the Xianggan base area at that time.
Tan Qilong joined the Communist Party of China in 1933 when he was twenty years old, and in 1934, when the Red Army began the Long March, this young party member was left as a young general in the Xianggan revolutionary base area at that time, and the young and vigorous man was unwilling to accept such an arrangement, but Tan Qilong not only accepted this task but also completed it very well.
After the main force of the Red Army brigade left, Tan Qilong was left in the south. The number of troops is small, do not engage in frontal confrontation with the enemy, and adopt the most suitable combat strategy in the mountains, "guerrilla warfare" and the enemy. In addition to the material problems, the mountains in the south also gave Tan Qilong a lot of problems to overcome.
There is a lack of salt in the mountains, if people have not eaten salt, they will have no strength, Tan Qilong had to lead the soldiers to eat salt salt, salt contains sodium nitrite, which is a carcinogen, but under the vicious living conditions at that time, in order to survive, it can only be done.
Even in the south, winter is very cold, and clothes in the mountains are very wet for a long time, and in order to keep warm, soldiers lean together to warm themselves when they are not fighting.
In addition, there are miasma in the south, mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the forest, etc. are all factors that plague Tan Qilong and his squad. But these difficulties did not overwhelm the Red Army at that time, Tan Qilong insisted for three years, and finally because he was wounded in the battle, Tan Qilong was forced to move to the rear hospital.
Tan Qilong, who was transferred back to the rear hospital with difficulty, recovered his health after proper medical treatment and continued to participate in the cause of revolution, liberation and construction.
He has served as the secretary of the five provinces and has made remarkable achievements
After three years of guerrilla warfare in the south, Tan Qilong participated in the subsequent anti-fascist War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and held important positions in the ranks.
After the founding of New China, when awarding military ranks, he was not included in it, but was organized into government organs to participate in the construction of new China, and during his successive terms, because of his good political achievements, he was transferred to many places to serve, and he has been working in the core leadership team of a province to benefit the people.
Starting from Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang is close to Tan Qilong's hometown, he first served in Zhejiang, as the first secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee at that time, the number one of Zhejiang Province played an important role in helping the recovery and development of Zhejiang Province's production in the early days of the founding of New China.
Since then, he has been appointed or transferred to the secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, the secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, the secretary of the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee and the secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, and has made great contributions to helping the economic development of the provinces under his jurisdiction and the stability of the people's lives.
At the same time, it has played a very good role in helping the central government to govern, conveying the policy documents issued by the central government, and formulating policy rules and regulations in combination with local realities, and is a good leader and leader.
epilogue:
Tan Qilong, from the age of fifteen when he joined the Chinese Communist Youth League, until his death in 2003, has been a supporter, participant and witness to the cause of Chinese communism. He has contributed most of his energy to promoting the development of china's communist cause and deserves our admiration.
At the same time, Tan Qilong's own moral and ideological construction is also very in place, and his close friend once described him as "wishing for a better life from a long way to recover, and a lifelong voice to the younger voice than the old voice." "From the nostalgia and love he has received from his friends, we can see his purity as a human being. While lamenting his high power, we should also learn from him and strive to make ourselves as good as him.
