He is also a sharpshooter, with no false shots within 100 meters. When the Red Army attacked Ganzhou, Chairman Mao met Luo Binghui by chance, and when he heard that his marksmanship was good, he pointed to a bird flying in the sky and asked, "I heard that you are a sharpshooter, can you fight that bird?" ”

He can judge the landing point of the shell from the roar of the shell, and he can also distinguish from the whistle of the bullet whether the enemy is shooting blindly or the sniper is shooting, and how far the shooter is from himself. The soldiers fought with General Luo, full of confidence and courage, and everyone said: "We are not afraid of fighting, with Commander Luo in the front and Minister Gong (Minister of Health) in the back, we are not afraid of anything." Ordinary people called Luo Binghui a "military god" who did not dare to touch bullets.

General Luo Binghui is a well-known general of our army. Speaking of which, he was still a general who revolted from the Nationalist army, and that was when he was the head of the Jingwei Regiment in Ji'an, Jiangxi, he secretly joined the Communist Party under the pseudonym "Luo Nanhui". Later, he was sent to the base area of the Soviet Union to encircle and suppress the Red Army, and Luo Binghui took the opportunity to launch the "Ji'an Uprising", successfully breaking away from the Kuomintang and entering the embrace of the people. After the uprising, the Jingwei Regiment was reorganized into the Independent Regiment of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, with Luo as its regimental commander and later expanded into the Red Twelfth Army, with Luo Binghui as its commander. Before the Long March, Luo Binghui was promoted to the commander of the newly formed Red Ninth Army and led his troops to participate in the Long March. After the Zunyi Conference, due to the serious attrition of the troops, the Red Ninth Army was downsized into the Red Ninth Army, and Luo Binghui still served as the commander.

Chairman Mao commented on luo Binghui, who was able to fight in battles, and whose merits were supreme, and Chairman Mao commented on him: "Upright and upright, rich in war experience, military talent, and very good at fighting." Zhou Enlai praised him as a "meritorious hero of the people." In his book "Red Star Shines on China", American journalist Snow described Luo Binghui as a "god-like Taibao", "legendary hero", and "wisdom and courage". Indeed, in terms of tactics alone, few of the many famous generals are stronger than him, and the guerrilla tactics he invented such as "sparrow warfare" and "jumping beam array" are very practical. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Luo Binghui led his troops to fight devils and created the "plum blossom pile" tactic, which made the devils dizzy. He used a set of guerrilla techniques such as enticing the enemy, confusing the enemy, disturbing the enemy, surprise attack, counterattack, and annihilation against the Japanese army, and achieved remarkable results. In addition, Luo Binghui adapted to local conditions and invented effective combat techniques such as "burning bison", "four or two thousand pounds", and "plum blossom tactics".

In June 1946, the government of the Suwan Border Region issued a decree changing the name of Tianchang County to "Binghui County". In 1997, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of General Luo Binghui, the Tianchang Municipal Government founded Luo Binghui Middle School. General Luo Binghui was buried in the Linyi East China Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery, and the tombstones are engraved with inscriptions by Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Ren Bishi and other party and state leaders. At that time, the Central Military Commission determined that General Luo Binghui was a senior general of the Red Army and a famous anti-Japanese general who "made outstanding achievements in battle."

So, if General Luo Binghui had not died of illness, what rank would he have been able to obtain when he was awarded the rank in 55 years?
In fact, this question has long been answered. The Central Military Commission has long given the answer. The answer is: General! Proper General. Of the 36 military experts selected by the central authorities, Luo Binghui was impressively listed among them. The standard of 36 military experts is that the rank of general (inclusive) or above is the benchmark. As we all know, the ten marshals and the ten generals are all military experts, that is to say, the minimum standard for military experts is generals and above, and Luo Binghui is a military expert, which means that he is also a general at the lowest. Among the 36 military families, there were 11 martyrs, in addition to the ten marshals and ten generals, the chairman was the rank of grand marshal, and the premier and Xiaoping were all marshal ranks, but they did not want it. The other two, Yang Shangkun and Li Xiannian, were also generals. Just transferred to local work, did not participate in the appraisal. Therefore, Luo Binghui can live to 55 years, that is, a general.

In terms of battle merit, position, and rank, Luo Binghui was also enough to evaluate the general. His military ability is recognized in the party and the military, and has long been talked about by people. During the Red Army period, he was the commander of the regiment, and during the War of Resistance, he was the deputy commander of the detachment, the commander, and the deputy commander of the New Fourth Army. During the Liberation War, he was the deputy commander of the Shandong Military Region and an assistant to Mr. Chen. He has always held a higher position than Su Yu, second only to Chen Yi and Zhang Yunyi in the New Fourth Army, in terms of seniority, he did not have Zhang Yunyishen, but in terms of battle merit, he was bigger than Zhang Yunyi. Therefore, if he is awarded the title, Luo Binghui must be a general, and he must also be a high-ranking general. Because of his premature illness and death, he did not have the opportunity to show his skills in the Liberation War, otherwise he would probably have served as the commander of a certain corps, or even the deputy commander of Huaye (Sanye), and with this qualification, the evaluation of the general was more than enough.

As for which general Luo Binghui will squeeze out, this is a sensitive topic, everyone knows it, there is no need to say it.
