If there is a victory in a war, there will be a defeat, and the winner will be the king and the loser will be a curse. Our army and the Kuomintang have always had the upper hand in the late war, and with the support of the people and Chairman Mao's leadership, our army has defeated the Nationalist army one after another, and successfully saved the situation so that Chiang Kai-shek completely broke off this idea of unifying China.
In the face of this situation of continuous defeat and retreat, the final outcome is bound to be defeated, many Nationalist generals have chosen to revolt and surrender to our army in order to save their lives, and these Nationalist generals have either defected or fled the Kuomintang and suddenly became a scattered sand and no longer have the so-called cohesion, but there is one person in this group of generals who insists on his faith, and this person is Lu Daoyuan.
First, the defeated generals who are unwilling to surrender
Although Lu Daoyuan and our army had never had a real fight, he knew better than anyone else. But the moment he faced our army, he lost, and he lost very thoroughly, and he lost without end. No one knows better than him that the current situation between the Nationalist army and the Communist Party is an absolutely crushing, one-sided battle, and even the most basic popular sentiment chiang kai-shek no longer controls.
If a leader cannot even grasp the people's hearts and minds, then how can he grasp the whole war situation? Therefore, Lu Daoyuan knew in his heart that this battle was a battle that the Nationalist army would lose, and seeing that the generals of the Nationalist army around him had fled and surrendered, Lu Daoyuan actually understood them very well. After all, fighting a war is really too bitter, not only the soldiers are bitter, but they are also bitter as generals!
Friends around him are also urging Lu Daoyuan to leave the Nationalist Army, "With your military talents and defecting to the Communist Party, there will be more room for improvement!" Good birds choose trees to perch, old Lu, you can think well, now the situation within the national army, you are also clear that now do not leave, there will be no chance in the future. In the face of his friend's admonition, Lu Daoyuan's heart was also extremely emotional.
After experiencing a very fierce ideological struggle, Lu Daoyuan said lightly to his friends who advised him: "No one knows the current situation of the nationalist army better than I do, and I also know that we have lost this battle, but I am not willing to leave you and go. In the face of Lu Daoyuan, who has such a tough attitude, others are not good enough to say anything more than let him take care of himself.
Second, the military achievements of Lei Lei are outstanding
Lu Daoyuan was a rare cultural general, and he not only went to the battlefield to get a motivation gun but also ordered a private school to read the sage books. Lu Daoyuan was originally a Yunnan native, and since he was a child, he was full of expectations for the matter of defending his family and defending the country, and when he was a child, he always thought about when he grew up and he could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and at that time, Lu Daoyuan's literary achievements were already very good.
When Lu Daoyuan was young, he studied with his elder brother in Kunming, which made him carry a literati style and a strong and upright atmosphere. And his career path is also very smooth, on the battlefield this young general is both calm and decisive, heroic and fearless, the ability to command the battle is not inferior to those old people.
Lu Daoyuan is not only talented but also very courageous, he shows people that it is not at all the posture that a young man should have, more like a beast that advances and retreats freely, not only when it is time to move, dare to fight and dare to rush, but also when it is time to retreat, it is completely introverted and implicit that people cannot catch the flaws.
In 1940, Lu Daoyuan became the acting commander of the 58th Army. And his battle with the Japanese army also began. In the face of various emergencies brought about by the Japanese attack, Lu Daoyuan was not afraid to deal with the danger and led the officers and men under his command to fight back.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the war situation was critical, the Japanese army was looking at Changsha, this battle, Lu Daoyuan fought very hard, fortunately, he had a clever move to come up with a brilliant plan - "anti-lurking tactics" which ensured the final victory of the battle, such Lu Daoyuan gave the Japanese army a very heavy blow, once let the Japanese army dare not mention his name.
Although Lu Daoyuan was good at leading soldiers to fight, he was still a flesh-and-blood young man in essence. Logically speaking, it is inevitable that young people like this will be proud and proud when they get a meritorious name, and there will be no one in sight. However, Lu Daoyuan was an exception, even though he was already very prestigious and famous in the national army at this time, he was still humble and respectful to his predecessors.
Perhaps it is precisely because of reading more books that Lu Daoyuan will always maintain a low-key personality and always look like a humble gentleman. Lu Daoyuan was highly respected in the Nationalist Army, not only the old man of the Nationalist Army liked this humble young man, but even the officers and soldiers under him admired this commander in their hearts.
Lu Daoyuan never put up a chieftain's shelf to share happiness and hardship with the soldiers, and in Lu Daoyuan's body, the soldiers never felt that he was a prestige of the relevant party, but a comrade-in-arms who deserved to be trusted. And Lu Daoyuan also liked this kind of soldier very much, taking him as his own feeling, and was also very considerate of these poor people who could not go home because of the war and could only participate in the war.
Perhaps it was because of this idea that Lu Daoyuan gave up the opportunity to surrender to our army and chose to go to Taiwan to live a life like a crane in the clouds. The four-year war of liberation had long exhausted Lu Daoyuan, he did not want to fight for a long time, he did not understand why the same Chinese fought for so long? Only those who have truly experienced war cannot bear the pain of war.
Third, poetry and songs are difficult to fill in the sorrows
In people's inherent impressions, it seems that there is a misunderstanding of the generals leading the troops, thinking that they are all "rough people" who do not understand what poetry and song are, let alone write out their inner emotions in the way of poetry and song for everyone to know, but Lu Daoyuan has flourished in this regard, he not only understands these things but also makes these things out!
Lu Daoyuan often read books in his early years, and composing poetry was simply easy for him. His poems not only have the aroma of the pen and ink of the literati, but also the heroic posture of the warriors. Most of Lu Daoyuan's poems describe the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield, and after reading his poems, we will have an immersive feeling, allowing us to truly experience the horror and cruelty of the battlefield.
"The clouds are dense and the rain is thick, and the snow and wind are angry and sad. Flesh and blood are flying, and the artillery fire is fanatical." Lu Daoyuan only used a few sentences to show us a scene of a battlefield with a harsh environment and many casualties, and we can also feel Lu Daoyuan's strong patriotic feelings from these few short poems, as a witness to the war, he is war-weary and if he has the opportunity, he will refuse.
4. Summary
People say that literati will not easily bow their heads with their proud bones, but for Lu Daoyuan, there is no such thing as bowing down or not. Whether he surrenders or not surrenders is only a matter of his own beliefs, just like Lu Daoyuan, as he himself said, 'loyal to the second lord', he has chosen the Kuomintang, so even if he knows that this road is going to fail, he must also recognize this principle.
This life of Lu Daoyuan is unimaginable to us. From his poems, we can see how cruel war is, and it will ruthlessly take people's lives. In the first half of his life, Lu Daoyuan sprinkled his blood on the battlefield and spilled his blood and boiled precisely because he was accustomed to the life on the battlefield in the first half of his life, and he would live a quiet life of flower viewing and bird walking in the second half of his life.
