In 1988, the second branch of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University wanted to build a memorial hall, but it was encountered
Financial difficulties
。 Li Zhongquan, the founding major general who studied and taught at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University for many years, after learning of this incident, together with Sun Yi (also his old superior), the founding lieutenant general Who was then the president of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, ran around and contacted his old comrades-in-arms.
Fundraising for schools
。
These old comrades-in-arms contacted by Major General Li Zhongquan,
Basically, they were founding generals
He studied at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University and has a deep affection for the school, and after learning the news, he responded positively and donated enthusiastically.
And in the process of fundraising,
Principal Sun Yi had a recurrence of the old disease
, had to be admitted to the hospital.
After Major General Li Zhongquan placed Principal Sun Yi, the donation was over, but when he checked the donation account, he found it
It was 200,000 less than before
In that era, 200,000 yuan can be regarded as a huge amount of money, but also the donation of the founding generals to build their alma mater, who has the courage to fight the idea of this money?
At that time, Major General Li Zhongquan was filled with righteous indignation, slapped the table and angrily said: "
Don't let me know who it is, if it were during the war years, I would have shot him
。 ”
So what kind of life history does this Major General Li Zhongquan have, and can this unknown donation of 200,000 yuan be successfully recovered in the end?
Find the donation thing to sell first, put it later, talk about it first
Major General Li Zhongquan's extraordinary life.
First, full of loyal martyrs
Li Zhongquan was born in 1915 and is a native of Shijiaba, Beipaihe, Daxian County, Sichuan. There are many people in the family, there are 9 people, but the land is only a little, and the annual harvest is probably only enough to maintain the food and clothing of two people, so Li Zhongquan's childhood and adolescence,
Basically, I spent my time in hunger
Not only him, but the whole family was starving.
In such a difficult living environment, life has become very fragile, and his youngest sister has died of malnutrition.
At that time, although Li Zhongquan did not know what to do,
But the desire to change the status quo of life is already very urgent.
By 1928, Li Zhongquan was finally
Got a chance to change your destiny
He entered the fifth highest primary school in Daxian County. The sensible Li Zhongquan knows what this study experience means to him, so he studies extremely hard.
Two years later, Li Zhongquan was successfully admitted to Daxian Middle School with the first excellent result in the county. At that time, the first place in the examination was very remarkable, and after the villagers heard about it, they beat the gong and drum, and carried this "champion" back to the village with a sliding pole, circumnavigating the village for a week, before sending him home.
When he went to middle school, it was like changing the world, Li Zhongquan not only learned new knowledge, but more importantly, he had the opportunity to come into contact with new ideas, and he read Lenin's "Materialist View of History" and "On Two Strategies".
This enlightenment opened a door of thought for him,
He found his way and decided to devote himself to the revolutionary cause.
In the year of entering the county middle school, Li Zhongquan joined
Communist Youth League of China
He became a member of the Communist Youth League and participated in the organization of several patriotic movements.
In 1931, Li Zhongquan, who was only 16 years old, was sent to Pujiachang and served as a man
Political commissar of a large detachment of Red Army guerrillas
, began his career in the Red Army. The following year, Li Zhongquan officially joined the party.
In 1933, Li Zhongquan returned to Shijiaba, but not alone, but led a team of more than 300 people.
He came back to fight the local tycoons, divide the land, and change the fate of the poor villagers.
At this time, he was already a celebrity, because in the village, there was still a notice of bounty wanting him.
Li Zhongquan's family is very sensible, not only supporting his cause, but also actively joining in. His family of nine members all joined the Red Army one after another. His eldest brother Li Zhongpan was elected to the local area
Chairman of the Soviets
The fifth sister, Li Zhongzhen, was elected to the local area
Chairwomen of Women
When the Red Army withdrew from the area,
Li Zhongpan led the Red Guards and cooperated with the Red Army in combat,
Li Zhongquan's second brother Li Zhongchi and fourth brother Li Zhongbai also actively collected grain and materials for the Red Army, the fifth sister Li Zhongzhen led the women's team, braving artillery fire to rescue and take care of the wounded, and his parents also gave up the family's ancestral house and land, and took his young brothers and sisters to the Red Army.
Since then, Li Zhongquan's entire family has joined the Red Army. But the red army's combat life at this time was full of dangers, and Li Zhongquan's family also paid heavy sacrifices in the combat life.
First his father, Lee Hye-young,
In order to cover the red army's correspondents out of trouble,
Putting on the red army hat, he led the enemy to his side, he fought heroically with the enemy, killed two enemies, but he was also seriously wounded, and after insisting on climbing home, he finally died of his wounds.
Li Zhongquan was very sad to learn of his father's death, even though the military situation was urgent, he still rushed to the place where his father was buried overnight, and it was not until dawn that he found his father's grave.
It has a five-pointed star painted by his mother herself.
For the sake of the battle, Li Zhongquan had to be separated from his family. Shortly after his father's death, he heard the news that his eldest brother Li Zhongpan had been wrongfully killed in the "purge".
Second, the difficult long march
In 1934, the Red Army began the Long March, and Li Zhongquan's Four Fronts Army, because Zhang Guotao created a split,
Walking back the road, three over the snowy mountain meadows,
This resulted in significant non-combat attrition.
In the spring of 1936, before the Red Fourth Front army once again entered the meadow, Li Zhongquan happened to meet his mother in Baoxing City, as well as his younger brothers Li Zhongbai, Li Zhongheng, and sister Li Zhongqiu.
The troops were about to enter the meadow the next day, and Li Zhongquan knew the difficulties that lay ahead, and at this time his position was that of the divisional political commissar, but also
There is no way to solve the difficulties for the mother and younger siblings.
At this time, his second brother Li Zhongchi had already died in battle, and the fifth sister Li Zhongzhen was also starving to death while crossing the meadow, and he had lost four relatives.
Seeing his mother, Li Zhongquan had mixed feelings in his heart, some sadness, and some guilt. But his mother was very calm,
Repeatedly told him to do his best to do a good job,
Don't be distracted by her and her younger siblings.
His mother was over fifty years old at this time, wrapped in small feet, and suffered from a serious old cold leg during the Long March, but she did not say a word of bitterness to her son, her wish was
Brought up Li Zhongquan's younger siblings and then handed them over to the Red Army.
Although he was reluctant to do so, the next day, Li Zhongquan still had to be separated from his mother. Embarrassed to see him, his correspondent offered to stay and take care of his mother and younger siblings, but his mother flatly refused, saying to him:
The Red Army going north can not be less. I can go, I have come over in two years, and I am still worried about not being able to go to northern Shaanxi?
”
There was no way, Li Zhongquan could only leave his war horses and grain bags behind, and led the team to embark on the Long March.
And this time, the separation from his mother turned out to be a farewell.
In September of that year, Li Zhongquan's troops came out of the meadow and reached Gannan.
At this moment, a soldier with a small pony gun ran toward him, shouting "Third Brother", and it was his fourth brother Li Zhongbai who came. When the fourth brother saw Li Zhongquan, he cried and choked up to tell him the news of his mother's death.
With amazing perseverance, the mother took her children over the snowy mountains, but she could not get out of the meadows.
On her deathbed, she still wondered where the Red Army was, and she wanted her children to join the Red Army.
In the spring of 1937, Li Zhongquan was in Yan'an, reunited with his younger brothers and sisters, and their family of nine people, by this time, only four of their brothers and sisters were left. The loss of loved ones is sad, but Li Zhongquan and his siblings have never regretted it.
Third, anti-big life
After arriving in Yan'an, Li Zhongquan entered the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University.
Chairman Mao served as chairman of the Education Committee, and Lin Biao as its president.
The university's students are cadres drawn from the army from time to time, as well as some intellectual youth with revolutionary enthusiasm. The main courses of study are
Politics, military, history, democracy movement, united front
。 The purpose of running the school is to strengthen the political direction and political ideals of the leading cadres of the Red Army, cultivate a hard and simple work style, and learn practical and flexible strategies and tactics.
"United, tense, serious, lively",
It is the school motto inscribed by Chairman Mao for the Anti-Japanese University, which is still the standard for PLA soldiers in the army. In the Anti-Japanese University, the captain of Li Zhongquan's team was General Chen Geng.
This learning experience made Li Zhongquan remember his life. In school, he listened to chairman Mao, Mr. Zhu's lessons, and he learned a lot of knowledge at the same time
Thought has also been further sublimated.
At that time, the revolutionary life was still hard, but Li Zhongquan's heart was full of hope, and in Yan'an, heaven and earth seemed to be brand new, really a different world.
After graduation, Li Zhongquan was directly left as a teacher in Kang Da because of his outstanding learning ability, excellent grades, and previous culture, which were rare among the young generals of the People's Liberation Army.
Cultivate and transport military talents for the People's Liberation Army.
He was a teacher at this anti-Japanese university for six years. Because it is
Wartime
In special circumstances, the cadets are basically cadres of various units, as well as combat tasks, most of them
"In Cao Ying's heart in Han"
, all day long to remember the troops, want to return to the team, and because they are generals who can kill the enemy and stand alone, the enthusiasm for learning is not very high, this we watch the TV series "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong can roughly understand the paragraph that Li Yunlong learned.
But on the other hand, although the cadres in the army are brave in battle,
However, many people have a relative lack of knowledge, discipline is not too good, and there are some old habits.
It is also necessary to change the original appearance through learning and adapt to the new life in the new era.
Li Zhongquan's students are such people, and there are still some difficulties in teaching, but he has completed the task well.
With his own education, party spirit and character, he has won the recognition and respect of successive sessions of students.
The students who graduated from the Anti-Japanese University can be said to be star-studded. And watching these trainees return to the front line of battle after completing their studies,
Li Zhongquan was very anxious, and he applied to the organization for the front line many times, but all of them were rejected.
Because at this time, there are too few people in the PLA army who can serve as instructors, he belongs to the "scarce talent", the organization comforted him, he said,
Although he could not go to the front, his work still made important contributions to the party and the army.
In the six years of teacher life in Kang Da, Li Zhongquan has accumulated a deep affection with this school, and to some extent, Kang Da is his second home.
Fourth, return to the battlefield
In 1942, Li Zhongquan finally got the approval of his superiors and left the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University.
He was sent to fight behind enemy lines in the anti-Japanese battlefield.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Zhongquan was basically in the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region, and his main task was to build and consolidate the revolutionary base areas behind enemy lines. This work is relatively complicated, and it is necessary to fight the enemy and also take into account the production and construction of the base areas; as mentioned above, the main subjects of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University are politics, military affairs, and united front, and during this period, Li Zhongquan applied what he had learned.
Behind enemy lines, he organized many counter-sweeps.
At that time, our army's weapons and equipment were relatively poor, and whether the anti-sweeping campaign could be successful or not, in addition to effective tactics, it was more important to unite the masses and unite the military and the people, which required successful political work.
The political work is done well, the people have a sense of belonging, and they follow the party wholeheartedly.
Only when facing the enemy's sweep will it not waver and cooperate with the PLA's combat.
Later, Li Zhongquan took part in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments organized by Mr. Peng, completed the combat task well, and struck a blow at the arrogance of the Japanese army. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, the image of Li Zhongquan,
Basically, he can write and fight, have courage and strategy, and have won unanimous affirmation from top to bottom.
By the time of the Liberation War, Li Zhongquan's position was already that of a column political commissar, and a column generally directly administered 3 divisions, so his rank was equivalent to that of military political commissar.
When Li Zhongquan served as political commissar of the Ninth Column of the Northeast Field Army, the commander of the column was Lieutenant General Zhan Caifang. This is a legendary lieutenant general who has experienced hundreds of battles and achieved great feats.
The two partnered and led the Ninth Column to participate in the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign, fighting many hard battles.
Between August 1947 and February 1948, the two men cooperated and led the Ninth Column in five battles and five victories in the northeast battlefield, capturing several towns and destroying more than 20,000 main forces of the Kuomintang 49th Army and the 92nd Army.
In September 1948, the Ninth Column cooperated with fraternal troops to cut off the Western Liaoning Corridor.
Divided and encircled the Kuomintang army, annihilated more than 20,000 enemy troops, and destroyed five Kuomintang aircraft.
After this battle, Chairman Mao issued an order to commend him: Annihilate the enemy by 20,000, and nine columns will have a share; destroy five planes, and nine columns will do it alone!
In October 1948, the Ninth Column invaded Jinzhou City, annihilating more than 20,000 enemy troops and capturing Fan Hanjie, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast "Suppression General".
In the Battle of Pingjin, the Ninth Column led by Zhan Caifang and Li Zhongquan served as the assault group attacking Tianjin.
From the south side of Tianjin, the strong defense of the Kuomintang army was torn apart and the city of Tianjin was invaded.
After the end of the Battle of Pingjin, the Ninth Column of the Northeast Field Army was reorganized into the 46th Army.
Li Zhongquan still served as the military political commissar.
And the military commander is still his old partner Zhan Caifang.
In August 1949, the two led the 46th Army south to participate in the Battle of Hengbao, liberating several counties such as Hengyang and Hengshan, and annihilating more than 47,000 enemy troops.
This battle was also li Zhongquan's military career in the Liberation War.
A complete end was drawn.
5. The Founding Major General
After liberation, the People's Liberation Army formed an air force unit, and Li Zhongquan was transferred to the air force. In just a few short years,
He served as chief of staff of the North China Air Force Command, commander of the Air Force of the Beijing Military Region, and first deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region.
These are very important positions.
You know, at the founding ceremony of the people's republic of China in 1949,
The fighter planes flying over Tiananmen Square, in addition to being inspected, also took into account the task of combat readiness and defense.
In the early days of liberation, the Kuomintang troops that had fled to Taiwan also frequently sent fighters and reconnaissance planes to harass China's borders, and the air force of the Nanjing Military Region often had to face the fighters of the Kuomintang army directly, which was the front line of battle in the sky.
In these important posts, Li Zhongquan has completed the task brilliantly.
It has made outstanding contributions to the modernization of the new Chinese Air Force.
And even if a new China has been established,
Li Zhongquan's enthusiasm for serving the country has not diminished in the slightest.
He also participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and played a huge role in the war to defend the territory after liberation.
In 1955, Li Zhongquan was awarded the rank of major general and was awarded
Order of August 1, 2nd Class, Independence and Freedom Medal 1st Class, Liberation Medal 1st Class, And Medal of Merit of the Red Star 1st Class
These medals represent the outstanding contributions made by General Li Zhongquan to our party and our army, and also condense his legendary life in the past few decades.
After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, New China entered an era of peace.
There are no more big wars. The responsibilities of the People's Liberation Army have gradually changed from combat to combat readiness.
At this stage, Li Zhongquan devoted all his energy to the growth and development of the Air Force.
Lee Chung-kwon
The work is serious and rigorous, and the heart is as careful as hair.
The commander of the Chinese Air Force is General Liu Yalou. The general's temper was not good, and the cadres under him had problems with their work, and he often lost his temper and criticized him severely, but he never lost his temper with Li Zhongquan, which also showed Li Zhongquan's serious attitude in his work.
There has never been a mistake.
Because of Li Zhongquan's outstanding performance in his work, he won the trust of the leaders.
The country's many military parades, the command of the aircraft echelon of the Air Force,
It was all li zhongquan who was responsible.
He commanded an echelon of planes that flew over Tiananmen Square to be inspected by Chairman Mao and looked up to by millions of people.
Li Zhongquan withstood the test every time and successfully completed the task.
6. Recover donations
After introducing the resume of Major General Li Zhongquan, I will finally explain the follow-up story of the disappearance of the 200,000 donations.
After finding that the 200,000 yuan was missing from the account, Li Zhongquan immediately launched an investigation, carefully investigated, and finally found two suspicious personnel. But they are only suspicious, there is no direct evidence, if he directly looks for these two people, these two people do not admit it, he will not only have no way, but will hit the grass and snake.
In order to recover the donation as soon as possible, he also found the people in the investigation section to help investigate the two suspects.
Professionals came out and quickly found out the truth,
It was these two people who took advantage of their positions to embezzle the donation.
Knowing the news,
Li Zhongquan was furious,
Found these two people. Seeing that the matter was revealed, the first thing the two people thought of was to pull the old general into the water, and they proposed to share the donation with Li Zhongquan to make the big thing small. As soon as the words came out, they were sternly rejected by Li Zhongquan, a tried and tested old revolutionary.
How can envy and hatred be tolerated in such an unseemly manner?
When these two people saw Li Zhongquan refusing, they simply broke the jar and broke it, and died without admitting that they had embezzled the donation. And Li Zhongquan had retired at this time and had no position.
In addition, it is already a peaceful era, and everything has to go through legal procedures.
But the case didn't go well at first, because the two men had prepared for it, destroyed a lot of evidence, and covered up almost all clues.
In order not to worry the old leader Sun Yi, who is receiving treatment in the hospital, and in order to live up to the old comrades who donated money, Li Zhongquan personally went into battle, checked the donations one by one, and counted the donation briefings.
Finally, evidence was found to force the two men to confess their guilt.
Because the discovery was timely, those two people had not yet had time to transfer and squander the money, so 200,000 points were not bad,
All chased back,
The memorial hall of the second branch of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University was also able to start construction smoothly.
In the early morning of August 4, 2014, Major General Li Zhongquan died of illness in Beijing at the age of 100. 100 years old,
Like a symbol of fulfillment
Major General Li Zhongquan was born into poverty, joined the revolution with his family, and held important posts after liberation, but did not change his hard and simple style. Whether it is the establishment of New China or the construction of New China, he is a mainstay like a figure. Major General Lee Zhongquan
His pure personality, noble character, with his life, has set an example for people.
