He Qijun and Gongba Army are from Guangxi. The main leaders of the baise uprising and other uprisings are Zhang in Hainan, He Chang in Shaanxi and Sichuan, and the main leaders of Guangxi are Zhang. Li Mingrui was born in Guangxi warlord, while Wei Baqun was the half-brother of Wei Guoqing, the founding general, and Wei Jie, the founding lieutenant general. Both of them were grassroots Red Army generals. Regrettably, both Li Mingrui and Wei Baqun died young.
There are only two founding generals in Guangxi, one is Wei Guoqing and the other is Li Tianyou. Wei Guoqing is only one year older than Li Tianyou and is a grass-roots officer.
The legendary General Li Tianyou participated in the baise uprising as a deputy company commander at the age of 15, and was a veritable young hero at that time.
In the battle of the Red Army, General Li Tianyou often led the death squads to the front. He is not afraid of death and has suffered many injuries. When attacking Ganzhou and climbing the city wall, Li Tianyou was shot three times. 1 In June, 933, Li Tianyou served as the head of the 5th Division 13 regiment of the Red Third Army Corps, creating a brilliant record of the Red Army 1 regiment destroying1main regiment in sports, and playing the banner of "model 13 regiment".
Li Tianyou fought bravely and made outstanding achievements repeatedly. He served as a teacher in the late Long March, and successively led the fifth division of Gongsanjuntuan and the fourth division of Gongsijuntuan, becoming a star in the Red Army. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army as a whole. The commander of the front army becomes a teacher, the head of the army becomes a brigade commander, and the teacher becomes a head. Li Tianyou was incorporated into 1 15 division and became the head of the 686th regiment of the 343rd brigade.
In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army continued to grow and develop in the war with the Japanese aggressors, and the 1 15 Division established a solid base in Shandong. On the other hand, at the end of 1938, Li Tianyou went to the Vorontz Military Academy in Moscow, Soviet Union. Six years is enough time for Li Tianyou to change from a brave general to a resourceful general. During the Red Army and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, not many generals in China went to Fu Longzhi to study military affairs. Liu Bocheng, Zuo Quan and Liu Yalou are among them. Li Tianyou's study career in the Soviet Union made him shine brilliantly in the War of Liberation, commanded the large corps to fight, and became the most important soldier of the Fourth Field Army in Lin Biao.
In the battle directly commanded by Li Tianyou, the most influential battle should be Siping. 1 June, 947, under the command of Marshal Lin Biao, Dongye 1 column, 6 column and Ximan column were about110,000 people ready to conquer Siping, with Li Tianyou, the commander and political commissar of the first column, as the commander in chief. On the other side of the national army, it is Chen Mingren, the commander of the 7 1 Army.
1 1, the battle officially began. In just three days, our army conquered the periphery of Siping, and 7 1 army became alone. But from 14 to the end of the month, I didn't completely defeat the national army for 16 days, which was extremely rare in the war of liberation. In the end, the battle was defeated by the People's Liberation Army led by Li Tianyou, and Chen Mingren and Liao Jun won the Medal of Justice for their achievements.
Winning or losing is a common occurrence in military strategists. Siping campaign is the largest urban campaign in the history of our army. After Chen Mingren, there was no brilliant performance. The "Chen Mingren Defense Line" on which Chen Mingren became famous was learned by our army.
Eight months after the Battle of Siping, that is, 1948, Li Tianyou made a comeback and fully learned the lessons of the last war of attrition. Li Tianyou led three columns to assault from the southwest, southeast and northeast, and launched a general attack in just 23 hours. Siping was completely liberated!
When the 38th Army was founded, Li Tianyou was appointed as the first commander. Later, this army was led by Liang Xingchu. On the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the 38th Army performed well in the blockade of SongGu Feng. Commander Peng telegraphed: "Long live Chinese people's Volunteer Army! Long live the 38 th Army! " Therefore, the 38th Army has the reputation of "Long live the Army".
As luck would have it, Xu Haidong, Li Tianyou's old boss in 1 15 division, has the same title as him. Li Tianyou was given the title of "Little Tiger" by Comrade Deng Xiaoping. In the baise uprising Middle School, 15-year-old Li Tianyou was hit by a stray bullet and rolled down the mountain. Deng Xiaoping went to the hospital to visit him and told the doctor that this "little tiger company commander" was brave and had to be cured. As for Xu Haidong's title of "Xu Minghu", it was given by the opposite army.
The 38th Army founded by Li Tianyou is "long live the Army" in our army's eyes, and "stinky tofu" in the eyes of the US and South Korean armies, because the old base of the 38th Army is Xu Haidong's 15 Army, while Xu Haidong is called "stinky tofu" by the enemy, and no one dares to provoke it. Wan Yi, another foreign comrade-in-arms of Li Tianyou, came from the Northeast Army. There is a saying in the national army that "if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of Wan Yi" and you are unwilling to fight with him.
This is our legendary soldier Li Tianyou, one of the most dazzling stars of the Fourth Field Army!
