In February 2015, a military-rich general named Liu Dongdong died in Beijing, the youngest general since the new rank system, at the age of 69. His death has made countless people who support him feel sorry, and it is a major loss for the army.
"The general died in a hundred battles, and the hero returned in ten years." Liu Dongdong's military life can be described as extremely brilliant. He was born in 1945, a time when the War of Resistance Against Japan had won a glorious victory and the War of Liberation had just begun. In this era of the handover of old and new, Liu Dongdong has suffered a lot from snacks and heard a lot about the past of the war of resistance. Therefore, in his heart, a seed that wanted to join the army and serve the country gradually sprouted.
Unexpectedly, he really caught the opportunity. In 1961, just in time for the full-scale conscription, Liu Dongdong, who had just turned 16, volunteered to join the army, and when the application was approved, he officially became a member of the 47th Army. In the army, Liu Dongdong worked exceptionally hard. Some old colleagues commented that he had a natural stubbornness and refused to fall behind others in everything. In less than two years, Liu Dongdong officially joined the party, when he was only 18 years old, and his good life had just begun.
Because of his strong ability, excellent character, flexible mind, and united warriors, Liu Dongdong's promotion was very fast, and he became the director of the political department within a few years.
In 1979, Liu Dongdong and his team received an important order to defend the border between China and Vietnam. This war, which lasted for ten years, was fought extremely hard, and the Battle of Laoshan was the most classic. In the Battle of Laoshan, the Nanjing Military Region, the Lanzhou Military Region, the Chengdu Military Region, and other military regions all took turns fighting in Laoshan.
During the campaign, Liu Dongdong creatively designed a surprise battle called "Operation Blue Sword B". In this surprise operation, Liu Dongdong took the lead in using communication technology to broadcast the situation on the battlefield in real time. Now, more than forty years later, the videos that were handed down during the war are still widely disseminated on the Internet. And this kind of live broadcast campaign has also created a precedent for domestic live broadcast operations.
The soldiers all knew that this battle was a fierce battle of death, so someone proposed that "if you can drink Moutai wine, it will be good for yourself," Listening to this sentence, Liu Dongdong brought a bottle of Moutai wine in the shortest time and at the fastest speed. Don't look at this as just a bottle of Moutai wine, you must know that in the era of material shortage at that time, this bottle of Moutai wine was very precious. And in the border where communication and transportation are not developed, it is really difficult to get a bottle of Moutai wine. For this bottle of Maotai, Liu Dongdong privately commissioned many people and said a lot of good things.
When the soldiers drank the wine, their hearts blossomed, and the morale of the entire army was greatly increased. Later, Liu Dongdong gave play to his operational wisdom again; he kept up with the times and used the magnetic field interference of our communication equipment to directly disrupt the enemy's communications and combat plan, so that the superior situation could not be issued, and suddenly the enemy was chaotic into a pot of porridge, and the soldiers of our army also took this opportunity to counterattack and fought a very beautiful hard battle. This battle made him famous in one fell swoop, and also let everyone see Liu Dongdong's true talent and practical learning.
Can fight, not afraid of suffering, brave innovation, this is Liu Dongdong's work style. He has always been meticulous in his work, and he also cares for and loves his soldiers with all his heart. In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, General Liu Dongdong, then political commissar of the Jinan Military Region, personally rushed to the disaster area to comfort the victims, transport relief materials, and work with the frontline fighters to advance and retreat together.
In 2015, Admiral Liu Dongdong completed a magnificent and brilliant life, and his body was also placed on Babao Mountain. The general wanted to go through the last journey in a low-key manner, but unexpectedly his death eventually caused a sensation on the Internet, and countless netizens spontaneously commemorated General Liu on the Internet, and some netizens gave a poem: "Veterans do not die, but wither away." "Now that Guotai and Min'an are in peace, the general Jiuquan knows and will be very pleased."
