After years of constant war, our country has also ushered in a rainbow of victory, so the party organization has also awarded corresponding honors to those soldiers who have contributed to the country, and one of them has only been awarded the major general, while the other 8 generals have applied to the party organization, hoping that he can be awarded lieutenant general, and he is General Tan Youlin, so what contribution did he make to make several generals apply to the party organization to award him the honor of lieutenant general?
In 1916, Tan Youlin was born in Jiangling, Hubei Province, but the economic situation of Tan Youlin's family is very difficult, under the continuous exploitation of the face, the family is only simply able to maintain food and clothing, the good times are not long, when Tan Youlin was nine years old, his father suddenly passed away, the top pillar of the family collapsed, which undoubtedly caused this poor family to suffer a serious blow, so in order to be able to maintain the family's life, Tan Youlin also experienced many setbacks, which made tan Youlin, who was once young, lose his expectations for life. It was also after that the Red Army's troops arrived at Tan Youlin's hometown that there was a turnaround.
In 1930, the young Tan Youlin became one of the members of the Red Army, when he first arrived in the army, because Tan Youlin's age was relatively young, coupled with long-term malnutrition, it gave people a very thin feeling, so the leader of the army, Wang Ruiqing, in order to take care of Tan Youlin, also arranged to do things by his side, but Tan Youlin was also a smart-headed child, and he handled things very well, which also made Wang Ruiqing very satisfied with him.
However, after that, Wang Ruiqing unfortunately died on the battlefield, and Tan Youlin continued his work as a guard, also because of his excellent performance, but also because he was appreciated. Later, for some reasons, Tan Youlin came to He Long's troops, and He Long was also very good to Tan Youlin, and also sent Tan Youlin to the military academy to study, in the military school, Tan Youlin was also very hard to study, after the end of the study, Tan Youlin also made rapid progress, and then was appointed to the position of regiment political commissar.
In a battle with the enemy, the enemy sent troops to attack the Red Army's base area, Tan Youlin got instructions from his superiors, let Tan Youlin lead his troops to the front line to fight with the enemy, in this campaign, Tan Youlin also showed his excellent military command ability, and fought a beautiful victory with other troops, Tan Youlin was able to make such obvious progress in such a short period of time, but also because Tan Youlin accumulated a considerable amount of experience in many battles, just as the so-called hard work is true knowledge, Only practice can make a person progress quickly.
In 1935, the Red 5th Division enjoyed a high reputation in the army, because with the leadership of He Bingyan and Tan Youlin, the entire unit was thriving, and it also quickly became an elite unit, during which Tan Youlin made a lot of efforts, at that time Tan Youlin was still very young, less than 20 years old, which can be described as young and promising. During a battle with the enemy troops, He Bingyan was unfortunately injured by the enemy, so he lost an arm, so Tan Youlin took on the big responsibility when He Bingyan was injured, and managed the entire unit well.
After the victory of the war, Tan Youlin was sent by the party organization to the Songjiang area to serve as a commander, and later the party organization gave Tan Youlin the task of suppressing bandits, so with Tan Youlin's efforts, it was also very good to successfully complete the task of suppressing bandits, and after many wars, Tan Youlin was also appointed by the party organization to the position of deputy commander.
After the founding of New China, Tan Youlin also participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and on the battlefield, he led the troops to fight heroically, and also provided great help for the victory of the war.
In the later time of the award, several generals who fought with Tan Youlin also hoped that the party organization could give Lieutenant General Tan Youlin the honor, but Tan Youlin was very indifferent to these fame and fortune, and in 2006, General Tan passed away.
