Before the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he was a deputy commander, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, why did he become an ordinary citizen and even look down on illness?
Introduction: In 1927, Liu Shimo, a young man from Jinzhai, joined the Red Army. His family was poor, with 13 brothers and sisters. In his hometown in Anhui, Liu Shimo could not support himself at all, and when he saw the Red Army passing through Jinzhai, he chose to follow without hesitation. Liu Shimo was brave and fearless, and he soon made a name for himself in the army. In the Battle of Xiaomiao, Liu Shimo alone captured a Kuomintang colonel, which won him praise from many people.
Later, Liu Shimo was transferred to Jiangxi to work, and he also performed well in the rural base areas. Liu Shimo was born poor, which made him and his fellow villagers immediately mingle. Liu Shimo shared what he saw and heard in the Red Army with his fellow villagers, and he quickly won the trust of his fellow villagers. Of course, Liu Shimo has such a skill, and the organization is also quite important to him. In just a few years, Liu Shimo was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a division cadre.
In 1937, Liu Shimo was appointed by the Party Central Committee to be the deputy commander of the Red Fourth Front, and also served as the commander of the Red 12th Division. From this point of view, Liu Shimo is indeed quite remarkable, if he does not have real talent and practical learning, it is difficult to be qualified for such a high position. You know, this year Liu Shimo was just 37 years old. Regrettably, our traitor Zhang Guotao began splittist activities, and the Red Fourth Front suffered heavy losses as a result. Liu Shimo and many generals were dismissed from their posts and investigated. Liu Shimo was dissatisfied, and in chagrin, he raised a gun and committed suicide. Fortunately, someone happened to be passing by at that time, which saved Liu Shimo.
Liu Shimo failed to commit suicide, but he also fell disabled. Knowing that he would not be able to make a difference in the army, he secretly returned home. Soon after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Liu Shimo's patriotic enthusiasm surged again, and he organized a guerrilla group and once again joined the ranks. Liu Shimo was centered on the Dabie Mountains, and he and his comrades constantly ambushed the Passing Japanese Army. Under the blows of Liu Shimo, the transportation routes of the Japanese army were basically interrupted. The Japanese were furious with Liu Shimo, but they could not catch him. When the War of Liberation broke out in 1946, Liu Shimo did not want to offend the Chiang Kai-shek clique. He retired from the army again and went home. Three years later, our People's Liberation Army defeated the Kuomintang, and Liu Shimo saw it, and he felt heartfelt joy. After the founding of New China, some people saw Liu Shimo on the street, and at this time, he was living on a shoestring and could not even afford to pay for medical treatment.
Conclusion: Liu Shimo is a controversial figure. During the Red Army period, Liu Shimo made great achievements for the organization, but he did not persist. Liu Shimo is always controlled by his emotions, and he cannot bear the grievances. Therefore, what Liu Shimo lacked was a firm revolutionary will. As a former senior general of our army, he deserves to play a greater role. But when the difficulties came, he chose to escape. This is the root of his tragic fate.
