In December 1932, the Red Army came to Daxian County, Sichuan, and a couple joined the Red Army with 7 children. During the revolutionary war years, the couple and 4 sons and daughters died heroically, leaving only 3 children. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our army was awarded the title for the first time, the third son was awarded the rank of major general, the younger daughter was awarded the rank of colonel, and the fourth son served as a cadre of the division's logistics department.
The heroic couple is named Li Huirong and Wang Lishi, the eldest son is named Li Zhongpan, the second son is named Li Zhongchi, the third son is named Li Zhongquan, the fourth son is named Li Zhongbai, the fifth son is named Li Zhongheng, the fifth daughter is named Li Zhongzhen, and the younger daughter is named Li Zhongqiu.
In December 1932, Commander Xu led the Red Fourth Front into Sichuan and created the Sichuan-Shaanxi Su District. The idea of revolution spread throughout the Soviet union, and Li Huirong and his wife in Daxian County, Sichuan Province, heard about the Red Army's propositions and joined the Red Army with 7 children. Her mother, Wang Lishi, took the young Li Zhongheng and Li Zhongqiu with her on a march with the troops, walking through the meadows and over the snowy mountains.
In July 1936, her mother, Wang Lishi, took her two children to the area of Luhuo County, Sichuan Province, and could not move. She said to Li Zhongheng and Li Zhongqiu's brothers and sisters, "Baby, go with the Red Army!" "This female soldier, wrapped in small feet and trekking thousands of miles, sacrificed on the snowy plateau, and on her deathbed, she did not forget to encourage her young children to follow the Red Army all her life.
Young Li Zhongheng and Li Zhongqiu buried their mother in tears and continued to move with the Red Army. A family of 9 was scattered on one side, each fighting on the revolutionary journey and dedicating everything to the revolutionary cause. In 1933, his father Li Huirong followed the troops to Tongjiang County, Sichuan. Once, when he went to the mountains to cut firewood, he encountered a white dog hunting down the Red Army correspondent, and he immediately stepped forward.
Li Huirong changed into the red army correspondent's hat and asked the messenger to hide first, while he shouted at the enemy. The enemy saw Li Huirong wearing a Red Army hat and chased after him, constantly shooting at him. The Red Army correspondent was safe, but Li Huirong was hit by an enemy bullet and was seriously wounded.
In 1934, li Zhongpan, the eldest brother who was the political commissar of the Red 33rd Army, died in Pyeongchang County at the age of 27. Soon after, in the battle of Lifan, the second brother Li Zhongchi charged forward. The enemy's machine guns opened fierce fire, and Li Zhongchi was seriously wounded and died heroically. In the process of crossing the meadow, Li Zhongzhen, the fifth sister who led the women's team to rescue the wounded, was sacrificed in the vast meadow.
In September 1936, in the Soviet District of northern Shaanxi, the third brother Li Zhongquan met three younger brothers and sisters and encouraged the brothers and sisters: "Inherit the legacy of your parents, brothers and sisters, work well for the Red Army, and the revolution will surely win." The third brother Li Zhongquan entered the Kang Da to study, the younger sister Li Zhongqiu entered the Yan'an Cultural and Labor Corps, the fourth brother Li Zhongbai went to study at the Qingyang Infantry School in Gansu, and the fifth brother Li Zhongheng later served as an interpreter and telegrapher of the 359 Brigade.
During the period of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Zhongheng, the fifth brother of the translator of the 359th Brigade Headquarters, became ill and unfortunately died in northern Shaanxi. At that time, the family of 9 people only had the third brother Li Zhongquan, the fourth brother Li Zhongbai, and the younger sister Li Zhongqiu.
The little sister Li Zhongqiu began to participate in the Long March at the age of 7, and the little girl in her mother's arms withstood the temper of the war and grew into an excellent female communication cadre of our army. Li Zhongqiu successively held important positions such as the headquarters communications cadre and the head of the training brigade of the Shenyang Military Region, and was awarded the rank of colonel in 1960.
