On May 1, 1928, the National Revolutionary Army conquered Jinan, but was blocked by the Japanese army occupying Jinan, and the mad Japanese army actually cut off the ears and nose of Cai Gongshi, who was responsible for negotiations, and burned and slaughtered in Jinan, resulting in 17,000 Chinese deaths, more than 2,000 injuries, and more than 5,000 captured.
Also in this year, the 22-year-old Chen Ruiting, despite his family's opposition, resolutely decided to apply for the Hebei Political and Military School and throw pen from Rong, for no reason that Chen Ruiting was also a victim of the Jinan massacre, and the shells fell on the house where Chen Ruiting lived, only 5 meters away from him, and this was not the first time he was "shelled" by the Japanese army.
Chen Ruiting, Shandong Qingdao Jimo people, from an ordinary peasant family, in 1914, the outbreak of the First World War, as a member of the Allied Countries, Japan, declared war on Germany, the German colony of Qingdao in China as its own, at this time Chen Ruiting was only an eight or nine-year-old child, when he saw the warships in the sea in his hometown, he ran with his friends to watch, and as a result, these warships actually fired at several children.
Fortunately, Chen Ruiting was not injured, and afterwards, Chen Ruiting learned that these warships were Japanese, and the two sides formed a "beam".
Soon, the time came to 1925, at this time Chen Ruiting was 19 years old, became a student of Jinan Normal School, after graduation, became a teacher in Qingdao Cangkou Primary School, with a salary of 28 yuan, and lived a relaxed and comfortable life.
On May 3, 1928, 22-year-old Chen Ruiting went to Jinan to do business, happened to encounter the Jinan massacre, and was shelled by the Japanese army again, at this time Chen Ruiting was an adult, watching the Japanese army bully Chinese, how can he endure? This is where the opening scene of the article begins.
In December 1928, Chen Ruiting was successfully admitted to the Hebei Military and Political School and began his military career, after arriving at the school, Chen Ruiting insisted on joining the artillery unit, because the Japanese artillery bombardment made him deeply ashamed.
Chen Ruiting trained hard and fought bravely, and soon stood out, from deputy captain and district captain to artillery battalion commander.
In 1937, Sino-Japanese relations became increasingly tense, but Chiang Kai-shek insisted that "foreign countries must first be inside", which made Chen Ruiting very angry, so in March of that year, Chen Ruiting secretly joined the Communist Party.
In May 1938, Chen Ruiting took the artillery in Luxi Heze to fight with the Japanese Tufeiyuan Division, this time, the Japanese shells fell to Chen Ruiting's side again, and the comrades were shocked, but Chen Ruiting was unharmed, and laughed and told everyone:"
I'm dead, the Japanese can't blow up!
”。
It turned out that when a piece of shrapnel flew towards Chen Ruiting, it was blocked by Chen Ruiting's copper belt buckle, while another piece of shrapnel that flew to Chen Ruiting's waist was blocked by more than 300 yuan that Chen Ruiting was carrying in his pocket, and the money was cut in half, but it did not hurt Chen Ruiting in the slightest.
3 times unharmed under the Japanese shells, I have to say that Chen Ruiting is really a lucky general, and the more legendary thing is still to come.
In 1941, the Anhui Southern Incident broke out, the commander of the New Fourth Army Ye Ting was captured, the deputy commander Xiang Ying, and the chief of staff Zhou Zikun were all killed after the breakthrough, after which Tang Enbo mobilized 120,000 troops to destroy the New Fourth Army led by Peng Xuefeng in one fell swoop, and Chen Ruiting's troops were among them.
Because he was unwilling to fight with the New Fourth Army, Chen Ruiting, who had been "lurking" for many years, decided to revolt after being approved by the organization, and Chen Ruiting was already the regimental commander at that time, but unfortunately because the uprising was too hasty, coupled with the extremely favorable treatment of the Nationalist army at that time, Chen Ruiting only brought out more than 1,000 people, even if it was more than 1,000 people, the people's hearts were floating.
At midnight on the second day of the uprising, Chen Ruiting, who was napping, was assassinated, stabbed several times in a row, fell to the ground, and after being stabbed to the ground, the murderer fired a shot at him.
What is simply true is that these knives did not hurt Chen Ruiting's key point, and this shot was only a passing by, and when the murderer left, Chen Ruiting immediately organized people to arrest the reactionaries regardless of the pain.
When the news of Chen Ruiting's assassination reached Yan'an, Chairman Mao, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and others sent telegrams of condolences one after another, while Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yi, and others came to visit one after another, and also sent the best doctors to treat Chen Ruiting.
After recovering from his injuries, Chen Ruiting entered the Party School of the Central China Bureau, and in October 1946, Chen Ruiting was appointed commander of the artillery of the New Fourth Army, responsible for creating the artillery unit, at that time he had nothing, was called "commander of the light pole", but Chen Ruiting was not discouraged, he said:"
We have Chiang Kai-shek, the transport brigade leader, who will give us the latest American cannons as the war progresses.
After the Battle of Lunan, Chen Ruiting had 48 105 American howitzers and 28 tanks, relying on these family foundations, Chen Ruiting founded a special forces column and made many achievements in the Liberation War.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Ruiting served as an artillery commander and an artillery adviser to the Central Military Commission, and was awarded the rank of major general in 1955.
