Liu Zhenhua is a veteran general of the same age as the party, and his spirit of integrity and courage has never changed because of the passage of time and the increase of age, and he has always maintained his original intention to treat everything encountered in life. When you walk into his home you are surprised and taken for granted.
Everything in the home of the veteran general Liu Zhenhua is so simple, restrained and natural that you can't see any furnishings that represent luxury. According to our layman's point of view, the most valuable thing in the whole home is a calligraphy work on the front wall of the living room, which was given the word "righteous qi" by the famous calligrapher Wu Zhongqishu.
Pre-campaign
After the liberation of Guangzhou in 1949, the liberation of Hainan could not be delayed. Chairman Mao issued an order that Hainan Island must be liberated at the turn of the spring and summer of 1950, which was the final deadline. This important task was undertaken by Liu Zhenhua's 40th Army.
Let's look at this story in chronological order.
On Hainan Island, there is the Base Area of Wuzhishan set up by our army, and the Qiongya Column is the main force in it, and it is also the main force in our internal and external cooperation. The 40th Army led by Han Xianchu was at this time resting on the Leizhou Peninsula and formulating a strategic plan.
The Qiongya Column brainstormed and came up with a very feasible plan. Taking advantage of the fact that the Xueyue defense line on Hainan Island had not yet been completely deployed, the army seized the time to send some support (troops, commanders, technicians, weapons and ammunition) to enhance the strength of the column.
But this requires someone to pass this information to the large troops on the other side of the strait, and the reason why the telegram is not used is actually very simple, in case it is intercepted, it will make the Kuomintang alarmed, the difficulty of liberating Hainan Island will increase exponentially, and the risk and benefit will not be proportional to the benefit. So it's safer to send people to deliver intelligence, and they're not in a very urgent situation right now.
The Qiongya Column sent a comrade named Fu Zhenzhong to secretly deliver information. Through the help of the underground party members in the village of Linhai, he successfully obtained the release slip. But that wasn't enough, and nationalist soldiers stationed on the coast would still inspect every ship offshore. Fu Zhenzhong took great pains to get into the boatman and secretly board the ship to the Leizhou Peninsula.
As a result, as soon as the ship was unloaded, it was surrounded and inspected by the soldiers patrolling our army, and the pistol on his body was mistaken for an enemy spy after being retrieved. In order to prevent the enemy spies hidden in our army from discovering the real identity, Fu Zhenzhong did not say much and allowed the soldiers to take him to the regimental headquarters.
When he was sent to the division headquarters, he informed Deng Yue, the commander of the 118th Division, of his true identity and mission. After Deng Yue heard this, he immediately sent someone to send him to Han Xianchu's location.
Stand up at a critical moment
Before the official offensive of the campaign to liberate Hainan Island, the 40th Army needed to transport several groups of troops to Hainan Island to increase the strength of the internal and external forces. When Han Xianchu, commander of the 40th Army, considered who would lead the team to sneak across the Qiongzhou Strait, some of the cadres were not as active as they had been in the previous battles.
This is because the War of Liberation is nearing its end, and after the end of it, everyone can enjoy a peaceful and happy life. The mission was uneventful, and everything went well without being discovered by the enemy, and once discovered, it meant that they had to fight a fierce battle with less and more.
At this crucial moment, Liu Zhenhua, as director of the division's political department, volunteered to ask Han Xianchu to lead the team to dive across the Qiongzhou Strait. As soon as Han Xianchu saw that it was Liu Zhenhua, he immediately agreed. The reason is that he knows too much about Liu Zhenhua's ability.
Courageous and strategic, able to take on heavy responsibilities, very reliable
。 These three words are most appropriate to describe Liu Zhenhua.
At that time, because of the defeat in the Battle of Kinmen, many fighters had some shadows about the island landing operation. The Kuomintang side has US-backed warships and planes, and we don't have anything, only wooden boats.
In addition, most of the soldiers in the army were from the north and were not accustomed to water. This was a great pre-war difficulty. To this end, Liu Zhenhua first did ideological work for the soldiers, and reduced the shadow and tension in the hearts of the soldiers by constantly repeating this kind of work. Then let the warriors continue to practice water every day, and strive to ensure that they will not lose their combat effectiveness because they fall into the water when fighting.
After careful preparations, Liu Zhenhua led his troops to set off at night. After the warriors kept changing boats, they quickly reached their destination without any stagnation. The most thrilling moment in the middle was when the searchlights on the enemy warship swept towards their small boats, but fortunately their ships were shrouded in the aircraft.
Retaining initial intention
In the first award after the founding of New China, Liu Zhenhua was awarded the rank of colonel. He was promoted to major general in 1964, and when he was awarded his second rank in 1988, Liu Zhenhua, who served as the political commissar of the Beijing Military Region, was awarded the rank of general.
Just like the spirit of Liu Zhenhua mentioned at the beginning, although his rank has been raised again and again, and his position is getting higher and higher, his character is still as upright as ever. In the military, he was most unaccustomed to people who used the power in his hands for his own benefit.
Take Liu Zhenhua's children as an example. Several of his children joined the army under his influence and mixed well in the army. However, Liu Zhenhua has always had high requirements for his children, and he does not let his children reveal the identity of their fathers to the outside world, or use their father's identity to seek convenience for themselves.
Liu Zhenhua knew the truth in his heart, if he opened a convenient channel for his children, it would be a very unfair thing to other competitors. For example, a person who has worked hard for a position for a long time, seeing that he is going to win it by his own ability, the result is that you go straight to sit on a relationship. It may seem like it's just a matter of position, but it's likely to affect that person's life.
In recent years, there have been many news of impostors going to college, who are stealing other people's lives. Maybe this is just a trivial matter in the human community, but the person who experiences it may take a lifetime to resolve it.
Liu Zhenhua's eldest son, Liu Xiaowei, spent more than a decade in the army and was given the opportunity to change from a regimental level to a deputy divisional cadre. But this is only an opportunity, and he is not the only candidate for this position. But with the help of Liu Zhenhua, the quota for this position will definitely be Liu Xiaowei's. However, Liu Zhenhua not only refused the eldest son's request, but also reprimanded him.
His youngest son, Liu Xiaoxin, like his older brother Liu Xiaowei, had the same opportunity. However, after seeing his brother being reprimanded, he decisively dismissed the idea of asking his father for help and chose to compete fairly with others.
brief summary:
In our lives, there are so many things that we use our job relationships to benefit ourselves or others, so many that we have become accustomed to it. We never think it's right, but society seems to be making this behavior "right."
If we see this kind of behavior, we usually sneer or express envy, but what if the object of profit becomes ourselves? Will we refuse? Can we really dismiss this?
In fact, we don't know it ourselves, but man seems to be an animal who instinctively disguises himself. People who always like to wear masks that are contrary to their hearts, and those who talk about flowers are actually more serious than anyone. Every day I say that I don't want to work hard, and I want people who want to get rich overnight, but they never stop trying. Maybe man is such a duplicitous animal.
The more silent a person is, the more mysterious he becomes. You don't know his specific mind, but you know he's building up strength. If you don't sound, you have already made a splash, and this is the power that comes from our hearts.
