After becoming the founding general, Liu Yalou returned to his hometown, but when he saw the villagers, his heart was very entangled, what was the reason that made him cry in front of his relatives, and after returning to his hometown, Liu Yalou never returned to his hometown? This is because an old woman asked him: What about my children?
Talking about this matter, he has a lot of feelings. In the decades of foreign conquests, under the leadership of Chairman Mao, he fought side by side with his comrades-in-arms to drive away the invaders for his hometown, and in battles large and small, no matter what kind of damage he faced, he never saw this iron-blooded man shed tears, but when he only faced his own countrymen, he was a different look.
Born on April 8, 1910 in Wuping County, Fujian Province, Liu Yalou was born into a poor peasant family, at this time China was in the qing Dynasty's Xuanun dynasty, the year after his birth broke out in the Wuchang Uprising, an era of regime change doomed Liu Yalou not to face a smooth growth experience.
Growing up with the sound of gunfire and artillery fire, Liu Yalou was accustomed to the ugly faces of the ruling forces, who claimed to be the rulers of the country but could not seek the welfare of the Chinese people, and such a rule gradually caused dissatisfaction in Liu Yalou's heart, and it was precisely because of this dissatisfaction that he formed an indissoluble relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.
In 1929, under the guidance of two introducers, Liu Yalou joined the Communist Party of China, and since then he has determined his revolutionary beliefs to follow the party to do the revolution, and Liu Yalou, who has shown extraordinary learning ability since childhood, has been deeply valued by the organization, and was therefore sent to the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union for further study.
When he learned that he was escorted, Liu Yalou completed his language training and mastered Russian in a short period of time with his personal efforts, and during his training, he once formulated a counter-offensive operation plan for the Soviet military against the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, which was also valued by the Soviet high-level.
Talent is a resource that must be contested no matter what era, and the Soviet high-level also tried to keep Liu Yalou in the military academy, and even offered to apply for nationality for him.
However, Liu Yalou cherished the motherland and did not choose to agree to it because of the invitation of the Soviet side, and later in 1945, he followed the Soviet army back to the motherland and participated in the War of Resistance in northeast China. In the face of his fruitful life, he was worthy of the cultivation of the party and the organization, but when he faced the people of his hometown, he burst into tears.
Stepping into his hometown Liu Yalou again, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and the more familiar scenes made his mind come up with the picture of his own growth, the closer to the location of his home, his mood became heavier and heavier, and when he finally met with the villagers who had not seen him for many years, the heavy feelings were explained.
He left his hometown with 26 young people and went to the front line to defend his country. But now when he returned to his hometown again, he was alone. Those young lives, for the sake of the motherland and relatives behind them, chose to sprinkle their own blood on the battlefield and fight with the enemy to the death.
26 young people were killed on the battlefield without exception, leaving Liu Yalou alone to face the people's eager eyes.
At that time, the communication facilities were still very backward, and the news of the soldiers' deaths on the battlefield was not necessarily able to reach their home in time, how many nights, the other side of the moon was the warrior who missed his hometown, and the side of the moon was the relatives of the soldier who was worried about the soldier.
Standing in front of the villagers, a series of familiar faces made Liu Yalou choke in the face of everyone's excitement. Many of them are relatives of Liu Yalou, and these people stand at the village gate to greet not only Liu Yalou, the founding general, but also his sons and daughters who have been looking forward to it for many years, so Liu Yalou, who knows this expectation, has a heavier heart.
At that time, an old woman came forward and asked: What about my children? Looking at the old man in front of him, Liu Yalou's heart became more and more depressed. The old man had already been tortured by the years to the point that only his rickety body and pale hair remained, and his already cloudy eyes overflowed with a feeling of anticipation when he looked at Liu Yalou.
She hoped that Liu Yalou would tell them where the 26 young people who had left together were now, and whether they were like him and returned with the medals awarded to them by the motherland. However, this voice of greeting, unable to wait for the children's answer, can only usher in Liu Yalou's tears drop after drop.
After much thought, tearfully, he shook the old man's hands with his backhand and earnestly told her how heroic her children were on the battlefield, and that the state and the organization were proud of him, and that even as the fighters left, they were still eager to tell their parents that they had never disgraced them on the battlefield.
The roundabout answer put those facts that did not want to be revealed in front of people, watching the look of expectation in the old woman's eyes turn into unstoppable tears, Liu Yalou's heart was deeply stinged. The pain in the eyes of every villager reminded Liu Yalou of the last moment when the twenty-six young people who had left his hometown with him died on the battlefield.
If the aggressor had not come to his homeland, if the ruler had not destroyed the homes of the people because of their own selfish interests, they could have been just ordinary people, guarding their families and living in peace, but when the motherland was in trouble, the words of the responsible saints struck the soul of every Chinese.
The cries of relatives are like a heavy hammer, hitting Liu Yalou's heart over and over again, and this time returning to his hometown is not only the depth of homesickness for Liu Yalou, but also the thickness of life.
Obviously, it is the hometown where he grew up, for Liu Yalou, who became the founding general, here is buried his deepest feelings, here is the memory of home, but every step he takes, reminds him of the 26 lives that left.
It was also after experiencing this that when the old woman asked him how his children were, Liu Yalou decided not to return to his hometown, and he could not face the martyr's family, let alone face this indissoluble sorrow.
Liu Yalou, who no longer returned to his hometown, chose to dedicate all his energy to the construction of the motherland, and he made great contributions to the construction of the air force, one of the branches of the chinese army.
For a long time, until the founding of New China, the state has been focusing on the construction of the army, but the air force and navy have always been the weak plates in our army. For the choice of the first air force commander, Chairman Mao set his sights on Liu Yalou, who was airsick.
Liu Yalou's own military talents have long been evident in the formulation of Soviet military plans and in various later campaigns.
Liu Yalou, who went all the way from squad leader to commander-in-chief, was recognized through battles large and small.
Chairman Mao entrusted Liu Yalou with the task of building the air force, and he even had self-reflection. When he learned that he was about to become the first commander of the Air Force, General Liu Yalou had just been inaugurated as the commander of the 14th Corps of the Fourth Field Army, and he was preparing to follow the instructions of the central authorities and lead his subordinates to move south to further promote the liberation of the southern region.
Before that, he was completely unaware of Chairman Mao's decision to become the commander of the Air Force, so when he learned of this appointment, not only Liu Yalou himself was very surprised, but even the headquarters was in an uproar.
After the contact between the two sides, they deeply knew that Liu Yalou was a very capable chief, and this appointment also meant that Liu Yalou had to leave the 14th Corps.
In addition, for Liu Yalou himself, he is well aware that he is a person who will get airsick when he gets on a plane, so Chairman Mao's appointment is equivalent to appointing a person who is airsick as the commander of the Air Force, which is a very shocking practice at first.
Even so, for General Liu Yalou, the military orders were like mountains, and the instructions of his superiors could not be questioned, and he began to prepare for the cause of the Air Force.
Chairman Mao thought about Liu Yalou as the head of the Air Force in many ways and held that Liu Yalou's appointment as commander of the Air Force was the best choice.
In 1939, under the arrangement of the Party, when Liu Yalou went to the Soviet Military Academy for further study, his efforts to overcome the problem of language barriers, as well as the final excellent results, showed that Liu Yalou himself was a very resolute person.
In addition, Liu Yalou in military performance has long been confirmed, his language ability and military ability are highly respected talents, and these conditions are enough as an air force commander.
In the early days of building the Air Force in our country, it was inseparable from the help of the big brother of the Soviet Union, so a person who already knew the Soviet Union and mastered a certain language was an important quality to become the first commander of the Air Force.
In addition, during the period when Liu Yalou went to the Soviet Union to study, the military plan he formulated for the Soviet military also received high-level attention, and a talent who was valued by the Soviet high-level communication could omit many links that the two sides were familiar with, which was of great help to the air force exchanges between the two sides.
This understanding, which surprised everyone, did not betray Chairman Mao's trust, and the seemingly impossible task of air force construction gave very beautiful results under the leadership of Liu Yalou. In June 1950, China's first aviation unit was built, and at the beginning of the following year, the Majesty of our Air Force was demonstrated in the Korean War.
Even though the other side was called the undefeated team of the United States, it was shot down by our aircraft, and from 1956 to 1957, our air force did an excellent job in targeting Chiang Kai-shek's electronic reconnaissance planes and aircraft shooting down tasks.
Liu Yalou's life experience is comparable to a brilliant light, and when the young man had the ambition to join the Communist Party of China, he has been running towards the revolution ever since. After the founding of New China, he dared to pick up this very heavy burden for the impossible tasks and firmly carried them out.
I believe that in the revolutionary tasks of Liu Yalou's life, he believes that he will not be ashamed of the cultivation of the party and the organization. Perhaps in his heart, the only thing worth calling it a pity was the tears and light in the eyes of more than a dozen fathers and fellow countrymen, which was a grief that could not be recovered no matter how hard he tried.
