The Red Army, a brave and good fighting force, has made the enemy afraid in countless wars and made them feel frightened. At the beginning of its establishment, this contingent was all young and immature, but it was these young people who successfully defended our country, drove out the invaders, and rebuilt New China.
Because they have ideals and sincere patriotism, they cannot bear to have their own country invaded by foreign forces, and they cannot bear to see their compatriots being bullied and oppressed. In their good youth, they have shouldered the burden of defending their families and defending their country. It is because they have shouldered their weapons to liberate New China that we have achieved our happy life today.
Many of these meritorious heroes were ordinary people, born in peasant families, embarked on the patriotic road for the sake of ideals, and finally achieved brilliant achievements. Li Xiannian was one of them, born in poverty, full of patriotic enthusiasm, and joined the ranks of the Red Army. After the tempering of the war, in just a few years, he went from an ordinary soldier to a leader and then to a division commander.
When the Red Army marched twenty-five thousand miles, the two teams met in victory, and the leaders of our army were very surprised when they saw Li Xiannian, and they did not expect that this leader was so young. After understanding Li Xiannian, he praised him a lot, and the future life is terrible, and there will be a bright future in the future.
Li Xiannian (June 23, 1909 – June 21, 1992) was born in the Li family house in Huang'an (now Hong'an), Hubei Province. At the age of 9, he went to private school. Since the age of 12, he has studied carpentry in his hometown and Hankou. In October 1926, he joined the peasant movement and served as an executive member of the township farmers' association. In November 1927, he led his hometown peasants to participate in the Huang (An) Ma (Cheng) Uprising, and joined the Communist Party of China in December.
Li Xiannian grew up in a particularly poor family, there are 8 brothers and sisters in the family, so many people are difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing, and eating is even more problematic. It is worth celebrating that the people of their Lee family can attend their family's academy for free. Although Li Xiannian was young, he was particularly sensible, and he knew that this learning opportunity was not easy, so he studied hard and made a lot of efforts, his academic performance was very good, he was the leader of the academy, and every exam result was the first place. Although he was able to complete the private school for free, his family really did not have the conditions to let him continue the next stage of study, and he had to drop out of school at home.
His father hoped that he would learn a craft, and that he would be able to have a skill in the future, and that he would be able to rely on his craft to eat without going hungry. So his father sent him to a coffin shop in Hankou as an apprentice. Out of that poor mountain village, to the big city, in addition to allowing him to learn technology, Li Xiannian saw the wider world and was exposed to more new ideas and new things.
Hankou set off a huge workers' movement, patriotic activities organized by students, and various patriotic ideas and propaganda, which deeply touched Li Xiannian's heart and laid the foundation for his later participation in the patriotic cause.
Deeply influenced by patriotic ideas, he was deeply touched, so he immediately quit his job, joined this great patriotic cause movement, and returned to his hometown to carry out a vigorous peasant movement after organizing and studying for a period of time. Li Xiannian, who was only 17 years old, was elected as a member of the Agricultural Cooperative because of his advanced ideas and problem-solving ability.
Later, Li Xiannian organized small teams, these small teams formed by the masses and other large troops participated in the famous jute uprising, but unfortunately the strength was inferior to the enemy, and eventually ended in failure, the large troops were transferred, Li Xiannian and others stayed in Takahashi Town to continue his career.
Li Xiannian's military career began, he led the formed guerrilla group to join the Red Army, and at the age of 22, he became the leader of the Red Army. After all, li xiannian led a team of more than 2,000 people to find it difficult, but he was diligent and studious, and if he did not understand, he asked other comrades for advice.
Through his own efforts, Li Xiannian was promoted very quickly, coupled with the lack of talents like him in the team, he was promoted to the leader of the 11th Division. In chiang kai-shek's offensive against our army, the strength of our army was weaker than that of Chiang Kai-shek's army, and the equipment and number of personnel were slightly inferior. Li Xiannian received a difficult task, that is, to lead his troops to break through the encirclement of Chiang Kai-shek's army and open a passage for the main force of the Red Army. Li Xiannian knew that this mission was crucial and related to the survival of the Red Army.
Under the command of Li Xiannian, the forward team successfully broke through, opened the encirclement circle, and ensured the safe passage of the team. However, Li Xiannian was unfortunately injured, and this tenacious soldier, regardless of his own safety, still insisted on commanding at the front until the end of the battle.
In October 1936, after the three main Red Army divisions met, the Central Military Commission ordered the Red Fourth Front to cross the Yellow River in the west and implement the Ningxia Campaign Plan. He commanded the 30th Army to break through the natural danger of the Yellow River at the mouth of the tiger and leopard in Jingyuan County, and then occupied the strategically important mountain and the Five Buddhas Temple with the coordination of fraternal troops. On November 11, the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission decided that the troops crossing the river would form the Western Route Army to carry out the task of establishing the Hexi base area and opening up distant places. He was appointed as a member of the Military and Political Committee of the Western Route Army, and commanded the 30th Army to fight fiercely against the enemy army between Liangzhou and Yongchang under extremely difficult conditions, annihilating more than 4,000 enemy troops. Later, he fought a bloody battle with several times the enemy army in the Ni family camp for 40 days, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. This played an important role in coordinating the strategic actions of the Red Army in Hedong and promoting the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident.
After the defeat of the Western Route Army in March 1937, Li Xiannian served as a member of the Western Route Army Working Committee and was responsible for unified military command. He led the rest of his troops over the watershed of the Qilian Mountains, marched in the Ice Peak Snow Ridge for more than 20 days, and then crossed the deserted Gobi Desert, reached the Xingxing Gorge at the junction of Gansu and Xinjiang at the end of April, and under the assistance of Chen Yun and Teng Daiyuan, transferred to Dihua (present-day Urumqi), preserving a number of backbone forces for the party and the Red Army. Mao Zedong spoke highly of his achievements in the Western Route Army: Li Xiannian was a general who did not get off his horse. At the end of 1937, he arrived in Yan'an and studied at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University and the Marxist-Leninist College of the CPC Central Committee.
In November 1938, Li Xiannian was appointed deputy director of the Military Commission and military minister of the Provincial Committee of the Cpc Yu'e Border Region
Li Xiannian participated in countless battles, annihilating nearly 15,000 enemy troops in one battle. Because of Li Xiannian's outstanding military achievements and the reorganization of the army, Li Xiannian was promoted to the post of military leader. Until the end of the war, Li Xiannian worked in the army and contributed his strength to the founding of New China.
When he was 55 years old for the rank evaluation, he finally gave up attending the ceremony because he had left the army system for many years. Although there is no military rank, Li Xiannian's contribution is indelible, and in 1983 Li Xiannian was elected as a leader and became a leader at the level of the state.
Comrade Li Xiannian is a great proletarian revolutionary, statesman, military man, staunch Marxist, and outstanding leader of the Party and the state. He has made indelible contributions to the independence of the Chinese nation and the liberation of the Chinese people, to the cause of socialist revolution, construction, and reform, and to the building of a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, and harmonious modern socialist country, and has won the respect and love of the whole party, the whole army, and the people of all nationalities throughout the country. @Toutiao Group@Toutiao#Toutiao@Toutiao@Toutiao#Today##中国历史人物 in History #
