He was the only college student among the ten marshals, and was controversial because of his shallow qualifications, and was rejected for voluntary demotion
I remember when the grass flew, and every time in the Red Army, it was contradictory. The Long March is not an embarrassing day, and the battle is a big problem.
Rebuke the eagle every time he smells the big bird, and the kunji laughs at the eagle. Junjin has unfortunately passed away, and the country has difficult questions to ask anyone?
The chairman wrote a lot of poems in his lifetime, but there are very few people who miss his comrades-in-arms and relatives, and the seven laws of "Hanging-Luo-Rong-Huan" is the only poem in the strict sense of his mourning, and it is also the only poem to mourn his comrades-in-arms.
Cast pen from Rong
Among the ten marshals of New China, only Marshal Luo was a college student.
In 1902, he was born into a wealthy family of squires in Nanwan Village, Hengshan County, Hunan Province, and his name was taken from the "Huan Huan Yu Zheng" in the Book of Poetry.
Before the age of 25, he has been running on the road to study in Qingdao, Wuhan, Shanghai and other places, and like young people now, hoping to pass the exam and realize his dream of becoming an engineer, however, the darkness of reality finally made him give up the dream of being an engineer, throw pen from Rong, and embark on the road of becoming a soldier.
In April 1927, Marshal Luo, who was studying at the Faculty of Science of Sun Yat-sen University in Wuhan, joined the Communist Party.
In August, after the organization sent him to organize the autumn harvest rebellion in the southern city of E'nan and served as the representative of the Tongcheng and Chongyang peasant self-defense army party "Three Bay Reorganization", Luo Shuai was appointed as the representative of the special agent company party, becoming one of the first seven party representatives in the Red Army, and from then on he marched south to the north.
Twenty-eight years later, the bespectacled Commissar Luo was awarded the rank of Marshal of the Republic with his outstanding military achievements and unique political work ability, becoming the only marshal among the first seven party representatives.
The military strategy of the "Marshal of Political Work"
Many generals regarded Marshal Luo as a loyal elder rare in the party and had great respect for him.
Luo Shuai did not look like a general, because he wore a pair of deep myopic glasses on his rectangular face, and because he had been engaged in political work for a long time, he had repeatedly assumed the role of political commissar and director of the political department, and people sometimes liked to call him "marshal of political work".
In the arduous military struggle, he accumulated a wealth of military strategic ideas.
Break up the enemy and defeat the enemy
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" said that there are captures on the battlefield, "To be good and to raise them is to defeat the enemy and become stronger." "That is to say, the captives should be treated well and used by us, and we will become stronger in victory over the enemy."
With regard to the disintegration of the enemy army, the Chairman attaches great importance to the fact that "our victory depends not only on the operation of our army, but also on the disintegration of the enemy army."
Marshal Luo greatly agreed with these views, and formed the strategic idea of "disintegrating the enemy army, defeating the enemy and strengthening the enemy", the main means of which was to carry out powerful propaganda work against the enemy.
In December 1941, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese invaders were insufficient in strength, the rear was seriously empty, in order to squeeze more manpower and material resources in North China, the Japanese army turned to the strategy of "three points of military, seven points of politics", stepped up the "political offensive" against the Japanese military and people, in order to provoke the relationship between the anti-Japanese military and the people, and completely disintegrated the Eighth Route Army.
Marshal Luo, then commander of the Shandong Military Region and political commissar of the 115th Division, carefully studied the enemy's conspiracy and put forward in a report the strategic idea of "disintegrating the enemy army and defeating the enemy and strengthening the enemy": The best way to deal with the enemy's "three points of military and seven points of politics" is to implement the principle of "political offensive as the mainstay and guerrilla tactics as a supplement" pointed out by the party Central Committee.
Through unremitting efforts, in 1943, Shandong dismantled more than 7,000 puppet armies and established more than 1,000 secret contact points within the puppet army, which were hidden for a long time and waited for the opportunity.
Lure the enemy deeper and strike later
"Since May 1928, the basic principles of guerrilla warfare of a simple nature that have adapted to the conditions at that time have been produced, that is, the sixteen-character recipe of the so-called 'enemy advances and retreats, the enemy garrisons us to disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase'. ...... Later, our operational principles were further developed, and when the Jiangxi base area first opposed 'encirclement and suppression,' the policy of 'enticing the enemy to go deeper' was put forward, and its application was successful. ”
The so-called "principle of fighting the entire Red Army" is essentially the tactical idea of "enticing the enemy to go deep and attacking people from behind."
Marshal Luo not only experienced the whole process of the formation of the Operational Principles of the Red Army, but also inherited and developed this strategic idea in his own military practice.
The practice of the Northeast Liberation War has proved that it was very wise and correct for our army to withdraw to the north of the Songhua River and adopt the idea of "enticing the enemy to go deep and attacking people later."
The rank of marshal is well deserved
After the Gutian Conference in 1929, Marshal Luo successively served as the political commissar of the Red Fourth Army and the director of the Political Department of the Red First Army, and participated in the 25,000-mile Long March with the Central Red Army. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, he served as the director of the Political Training Office of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. At the end of the following year, he led his troops into Shandong to open up anti-Japanese base areas, and successively served as the political commissar of the Fifth Division, the commander and political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, and other posts.
After arriving in Shandong, he resolutely implemented the correct policy formulated by the Party Central Committee, and the anti-Japanese democratic armed forces and the anti-Japanese democratic united front were further expanded and consolidated, thus bringing about a marked change in the situation in Shandong.
In the summer of 1945, considering marshal Luo's injuries and illness, the central government sent someone to Shandong to take over his work. Due to the sudden change in the situation of Japan's surrender, Marshal Luo immediately became ill and led more than 60,000 of Shandong's main army into the northeast, successively serving as the second political commissar of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army and the political commissar of the Northeast Field Army, and participated in the operations that led the liberation of northeast China and later the liberation of Pingjin in Guannei.
After the founding of New China, the People's Liberation Army began to prepare for the implementation of the military rank system, and after determining the rank system, through complex, meticulous and repeated measurement and evaluation, in early September 1955, the evaluation work ended.
At that time, when he heard the honor of the Ten Marshals, Luo Shuai also resolutely refused, and only hoped to be a general. In the face of such a high wind and bright festival, the chairman naturally refused, and eventually let him enter the ranks of the ten marshals.
A life of incorruptibility, a model for future generations
After the founding of New China, Marshal Luo often warned himself and his family that a revolutionary should think about how to do more beneficial things for the people, and should not ask for extra care and special enjoyment because his status has changed and his status has changed.
In 1956, according to the regulations of the state, he was asked to send him additional state personnel and vehicles, but he refused, he felt that he was not in good health, there was not much specific work, and a secretary could manage the documents. The security department proposed that a leader at his level needed to send a guard car when he went out, and the family also needed to strengthen the guard, but he still disagreed, and after repeated consultations, he only agreed to add an aide-de-camp.
"A lifetime of fighting is clear to the enemy and me, and the solemnity of mankind is a typical example", this evaluation, Marshal Luo is well-deserved.
