At the most brilliant moment in his military career, he led the main force of 1 15 division to open up a battlefield in Shandong, expand troops, and led 60,000 main forces to fight in Northeast China during the War of Liberation.
Many people don't know that Luo Ronghuan has been in poor health since the Anti-Japanese War. He often keeps working despite illness, and even faints.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Luo Ronghuan received an "instruction" from the central authorities about sending troops to the northeast, demanding that Shandong send cadres and troops to the northeast to receive them and set out quickly. The purpose is to get ahead of the Kuomintang army. At that time, the main force of the national army was concentrated in the southwest and could not arrive for a while.
At that time, the superior assigned Wan Yi's troops from the Binhai detachment to the northeast, because he was born in the Northeast Army and was familiar with the local conditions and customs in the northeast, and he was able to quickly establish a base area and publicize the party's policies.
However, Luo Ronghuan was keenly aware that it was not only Wan Yi's troops that went to the northeast, but perhaps more. A few days later, the central government decided to transfer 30,000 to 50,000 people from Shandong to the northeast. At this time, Luo Ronghuan was ill and had to stay in bed. He told Xiao Hua about the situation in Northeast China and was led by Xiao Hua.
A few days later, he received instructions from the Central Committee to transfer him to work in the Northeast and let Chen Yi and Rao Shushi work in Shandong. Chen Yi is on his way to Shandong because of Shandong's counter-offensive. Luo Ronghuan went to the Northeast for some time. Until June 10, Chen Yi and Luo Ronghuan met to introduce the situation of Shandong and the enemy in detail, so that Chen Yi could get to work more quickly.
During this period, Luo Ronghuan's illness was too serious to support him to travel long distances to the Northeast. He asked the Central Committee if he could have a rest for a while. If you have to work in the northeast, you'd better not let yourself be the main leader of the army.
Luo Ronghuan is a man with great ambition in his heart, and he puts revolutionary interests first in everything. He thinks that he is too sick to work normally, and the situation in the northeast is complicated, so he can't delay his work because of himself.
After receiving his suggestion, the Central Committee hoped that he would go to the Northeast. Northeast China is not only the country's heavy industry concentration, but also has convenient transportation and good medical conditions. Backed by the Soviet Union, it is also very convenient to go to the Soviet Union for medical treatment.
Now he has received instructions from the central authorities that it is not convenient to rest, but he is going to organize a trip to the northeast. He divided the troops into three groups, most of them by sea, some by land and some by sea. In a few months, about 60,000 main troops were transferred from Shandong.
On the way, the fatigue of the journey aggravated Luo Ronghuan's hematuria. He couldn't ride a horse, so he had to lie on a stretcher and March all the way to Yantai before taking a boat to the northeast. 165438+1After arriving in Shenyang in mid-October, I began to work intensively. He didn't think too much about his illness. At that time, the situation was very tense, and the national army had sent troops to the northeast on a large scale.
After several months of busy work, Luo Ronghuan's kidney disease is getting more and more serious. He first went to the Soviet hospital in Pyongyang, North Korea for treatment. Because of the limited medical conditions, he hoped to go to the Soviet Union for treatment. Because of various problems, he didn't go, but went to Dalian to recuperate for a while and returned to work in the army.
At that time, the Northeast Democratic Coalition was in a passive situation and needed his leadership. When the July 7th resolution was passed and the troops unified their thinking, he was relieved to go to the Soviet Union for medical treatment. After less than one year of treatment in the Soviet Union, he returned to work in Harbin in May 1947.
At this time, the domestic battlefield situation has undergone tremendous changes. After more than a year of fighting, the Northeast Democratic Coalition gradually changed from passive to active.
Although Luo Ronghuan had an operation in the Soviet Union, it was not ideal. The doctor told him to rest more and work less, because the situation was severe, and he ignored it. After the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign, he stayed in Beijing and did not go south with the troops. He badly needs rest.
