Since the opening of the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area, our party has always followed Chairman Mao's theory of armed division of rural areas and embarked on the road of encircling the cities from the countryside and seizing political power by force. Therefore, our Party has absorbed a large number of peasant classes, who are extremely revolutionary and have rapidly grown into the mainstay of the Chinese revolution.
In 2009, 100 heroic models who made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China were selected, including the protagonist of this article, Luo Binghui, who was also one of the 36 military experts of the People's Liberation Army recognized by the Central Military Commission after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was also known as the General of Changsheng.
However, Luo Binghui's fate was extremely bumpy, he was born at the bottom of society, after joining the army, he was framed and expelled from the army, and he was even more ill during the Liberation War, and eventually died.
Childhood oppression
Luo Binghui was born in 1897 to a poor family in Yiliang, Yunnan, and his mother died unexpectedly shortly after birth, making the already poor family worse, and the burden of supporting the family all fell on Luo's father.
Luo Father was a local sharecropper, and nearly half of the grain harvested every autumn fell into the hands of the landlord's bully, watching his labor successfully being stolen by others, but he also dared not speak out. In order to make ends meet, he also handles part of the business in his spare time so that he can barely meet the family's expenses.
However, all this food and clothing is based on the conditions of normal years, but in the turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were several more years that could be smoothly passed, not only with continuous disasters, but also by soldiers and horses.
In order to let Luo Binghui spend the most fragile infancy, Luo's father saved all his rations and gave them to his son, which made the relationship between father and son very good.
From an early age, Luo Binghui's fate was uncertain, and he trained The maturity of Luo Binghui, who was well versed in his father's hard work and took the initiative to undertake part of the farm work to reduce the pressure on his father.
Once, the landlord bully listed a crime and wanted to blackmail the Luo family, and after Luo's father pleaded bitterly and unsuccessfully, Luo Binghui chose to resist. That night, he took advantage of the night to flee to the home of a relative in the county town, and then sued the bully to the county court, hoping that the county order would uphold justice.
But it is a pity that the parent officials of the feudal dynasty are also the lords who see money and open their eyes, and when they see the landlord's "filial piety" money, they completely forget their mission. For the case, he chose to turn a blind eye and closed the case hastily.
Although he did not win the case, Luo Binghui became famous in the local area because of his resistance to the bully, and the villagers thought that he was not easy to mess with, and the landlord bully also chose to avoid the Luo family, and the well water did not violate the river water.
Ostracized
The incident also made Luo Binghui completely disappointed in the government, and he vowed to overthrow these landlord bullies and change his unfair fate.
By chance, he heard that the bullies in the next village had been rehabilitated by the army, and the idea of joining the army came up. After bidding farewell to his father, he spent twelve days hiking hundreds of kilometers to Kunming to join the army, but was refused to enlist in the army because of lack of money and power. It was not until 1915 that he successfully entered Tang Jiyao's troops.
After coming to the army, Luo Binghui no longer had to run for life, and even faintly grew the general's belly, which also laid the groundwork for his future tragedies.
In 1920, he was appreciated by Tang Jiyao and placed him as a retinue of sergeants.
Later, Tang Jiyao lost power and was forced to go to Hong Kong, and Luo Binghui, as a close confidant, naturally went with him. But after he arrived in Hong Kong, while seeing the traffic in Hong Kong, he also saw Tang Jiyao's luxurious and eroded life.
He truly understood that the salvation of the country and the people in the mouths of these warlords was all a disguise, they were simply a bunch of moths, and all the money they squandered was obtained by exploiting the working people like their fathers. After leaving a letter, he quietly left Hong Kong.
In 1922, Luo Binghui came to Guilin to join the Dian Army, and successively participated in the Patriotic War, the Eastern Crusade War and the Northern Expedition.
During the Second Northern Expedition to capture Nanchang, Chen Jiongming in Guangzhou rebelled against the revolution, and the Northern Expedition was forced to interrupt and return to the division to discuss Chen. The Northern Expeditionary Army attacked Guangzhou in two ways, one for the Cantonese army, and the other way for Luo Binghui's Dian army.
Zhu Peide, the commander-in-chief of the Dian Army, ordered him to go to the Cantonese army position as a staff officer to investigate, but he happened to encounter Chen Jiongming's troops counterattacking, and the Guangdong army suffered heavy losses.
In order to convey the battle situation in a timely manner, Luo Binghui rushed 190 miles day and night to report the situation on the front line to Zhu Peide, and then passed out. The Dian army, which had received information about the situation, quickly withdrew from Hunan, which avoided the danger of total annihilation.
Luo Binghui, who had made great achievements, began to make a name for himself in his career, but as an officer from a poor background, he deeply resented the corruption that existed in the army. He was also ostracized by the reactionaries, who ranked Luo Binghui's ten major crimes and sent him out of the army.
Join the CCP
At this time, Luo Binghui can be described as all gray, and he does not know where to go.
Until he passed through Jiangxi, saw that the local agrarian revolution was in full swing, and saw that many peasants like his father had obtained the land of their dreams, he was attracted by our party and chose to stay in Jiangxi. In July of the same year, he officially joined the Communist Party of China.
Luo Binghui has repeatedly made great achievements by virtue of his combat experience in the ranks of warlords, and has been unanimously recognized by the generals of the Red Army. After the Changting Conference in 1930, he became the commander of the Red Ninth Army.
In 1934, the CCP began the Long March under the military pressure of the Kuomintang. Under the command of Chairman Mao, Luo Binghui personally led the Red Ninth Army to break through the siege and rush across the Xiang River. Subsequently, he led this unit into the Liangshan area and completely got rid of the Kuomintang's encirclement and blockade.
After entering the Yi area, Luo Binghui implemented the party's policy of opening up the nationalities and formed a deep friendship with the Yi compatriots, attracting a large number of Young Yi people to join the army and strengthening the strength of the Red Army.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the deputy commander of the first detachment of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui Province, fighting alongside Chen Yi against the Japanese Kou. According to the combat characteristics of the New Fourth Army, he formulated the plum blossom pile tactics characterized by ambush and mobile guerrilla warfare, including ambush, entanglement, blockade, and disturbance.
Under the guidance of this tactic, Luo Binghui led the soldiers of the New Fourth Army to attack the strongholds of the Japanese puppet army on many occasions, so that the enemy was frightened and did not dare to take half a step out of the bunker to strengthen the prestige of our army. The plum blossom pile tactic has also been popularized throughout the army, which has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of our army.
But at the same time as his career was smooth, his body had problems, obesity coupled with long-term high-intensity work, Luo Binghui actually suffered from high blood pressure. Even after the victory of the War of Resistance in 1945, he was in a coma because of high blood pressure.
However, when he heard that the Kuomintang reactionaries had provoked a civil war, he disregarded his physical safety and returned to the front line again.
In 1946, Luo Binghui was officially appointed as the second deputy commander of the Shandong Military Region, leading the troops to attack the Kuomintang Zaozhuang and completely annihilating the defenders. But the military operation also made his condition worse again, and he eventually died of cerebral hemorrhage on June 21 at the age of 49.
Throughout the life of General Luo Binghui, he struggled for the happy life of the people at the bottom, and this kind of responsibility and belief supported him through his childhood and the warlord melee, but just when he was about to realize his lifelong dream, he died young, which was really a jealous talent.
