The "illiterate" deputy minister of education who joined the revolution at the age of fourteen.
Comrade Zeng Ruqing was born in 19 15, Ji 'an, Jiangxi, and is the nephew of Comrade Ceng Shan. 1929 14 years old, when he and his friends secretly searched for Ceng Shan and other comrades, he took part in the revolution and peasant riots in his hometown. 193 1 year, he finally found his cousin Ceng Shan, joined the Red Army and became a guard in Ceng Shan. In the same year, he joined the China Youth League and joined the party in 1932. In the revolutionary ranks, as an illiterate who worked as a child, he learned to read, read and write articles. His poster caught the attention of Comrade Xu Teli, who asked Ceng Shan to transfer Zeng Ruqing to work there. So he was transferred to the temporary Soviet Ministry of Education and went to the countryside to study in winter. Later, he served as the inspector of the Chinese Soviet Ministry of Education, the deputy director of the General Education Committee, and finally became the deputy minister of education in Gannan Province.
After the Long March of the Red Army, he served as deputy secretary of the county party committee and captain of the guerrilla brigade, insisting on guerrilla struggle, and was unfortunately arrested. However, he is not afraid of the enemy's torture and never reveals his identity. He only said that he was a document, so he was sentenced to eight years in prison and put into Nanchang military prison. Here, he met Joe and began to build a friendship with blood and life for more than 20 years.
A strong fighter in the prison struggle
Qiao Xinming, then Chief of Staff of the 20th Division of the North Anti-Japanese Advance Team,1In February, 935, with the Red Army's North Anti-Japanese Advance Team led by Comrade Fang Zhimin, was besieged by enemies several times my size in Huaiyushan, Jiangxi, was arrested, sentenced to life imprisonment and also held in Nanchang Military Prison. Four months later, according to Comrade Fang Zhimin's wishes, Joe quietly searched for a firm revolutionary comrade in prison and found that another good comrade, He Bingcai, did not come to chat with Joe and others shortly after Zeng Ruqing came to prison. After understanding, I realized that Zeng Ruqing knew He Bingcai, who had worked as a secretary in the Ministry of Education of China Provisional Soviet Union. Because they had been mishandled and didn't know what happened in prison, they deliberately avoided it. Qiao Xinming found that Zeng Ruqing was a firm and good comrade and soon solved the misunderstanding between them. Soon, he conveyed the instructions of Comrade Fang Zhimin to him and several other comrades, and organized and established the prison party branch, with Joe as the party branch secretary, Zeng Ruqing as the organization member and He Bingcai as the propaganda member. They not only united party member around them, but also gradually developed comrades determined to join the Party and expanded the revolutionary ranks. They found that the management of the enemy in the sick prison was relatively loose. Zeng Ruqing treated there at the same time and was familiar with the situation there. He pretended to be sick and went there for a meeting to study the struggle plan. In the hunger strike led by Joe, although Zeng Ruqing was in prison, he consciously participated in the hunger strike, eventually forcing the enemy to put the prisoners back in prison and agreeing to some conditions they proposed to improve prison life. After the July 7th Incident, Zeng Ruqing, who had a shorter sentence in June 1937 and June 10, was released from prison early. After he was released from prison, he actively contacted and tried to rescue his friends who were still in prison, but he could not get in touch because the Kuomintang moved Joe and others. Joe and others were later rescued by Comrade Xu Teli and released from prison in February 1938.
The wanted section chief of the organization
1938, Zeng ruqing was assigned to the political department of the southern Anhui military region as the organization minister of the democratic movement department. He tried to rectify a local anti-Japanese guerrilla. Comrade Deng Zihui gave them the title of Shazhou Guerrilla Brigade of the New Fourth Army, but it was hit twice by the Kuomintang's three war zones. They fought back and angered the Kuomintang three war zones, so they fabricated charges, issued a wanted order against Zeng Ruqing and ordered the dissolution of the Shazhou guerrilla brigade. Our comrade Xiang Ying foolishly accused Zeng Ruqing of undermining the United front and asked him to make an inspection, cancel the designation of the Shazhou Brigade of the New Fourth Army and transfer him back to the army from Tongling. Later, Comrade Tan Zhenlin managed to incorporate this unit into the third detachment of his New Fourth Army and become a regular New Fourth Army unit. When Zeng Ruqing visited Maoshan with Comrade Yuan, director of the Political Department of the New Fourth Army, Comrade Chen Yi said: "You were wronged in southern Anhui, and the Kuomintang's' wanted order' is the best proof. I just need a cadre like you here. " Immediately "dig" him to the Jiangnan headquarters of the New Fourth Army as the section chief of the pro-democracy movement.
Comrade Zeng Ruqing is called "the old man". In the forties and fifties of last century, he was only in his early thirties, but he was extremely weak, short, bony and often coughed. However, he has been fighting bravely in the front line with such a body, and has often personally led troops to the front line for more than ten years.
Don't answer a word.
1940 On the eve of the decisive battle of Huangqiao in August, when Joe, then head of the First Longitudinal Regiment of the New Fourth Army, asked his superiors to send him as the director of the political department, Zeng Ruqing, who had been away for three years, appeared in front of him and became his director of the political department. They became comrades-in-arms again, and the joy was long and complicated. On the battlefield of Huangqiao decisive battle, he led a regiment of 7th Company and 8th Company of 3rd Battalion to annihilate more than 400 people in Gao Qiao, thus cutting off the retreat of the Independent Sixth Brigade. In the battle to destroy the enemy's 89th Army's wild house base, Zeng Ruqing's military trousers and caps were worn out. The guard thought he was injured and tried to carry him down, but he was usually weak and shouted, "Don't say a word' retreat'!" "* * * party member, come with me!" Under his leadership, some retreating soldiers charged the enemy again. Bought time for the follow-up troops. After the follow-up troops caught up, the enemy was forced to retreat.
This happened again when Cao Dian was attacked. When the troops were overwhelmed by the enemy's gunfire, he led the guards into the open field, so the retreating soldiers immediately rushed up with him. He is a brave leader. At this time, he can't see the gentle and kind expression that often appears on his face.
194 1 After the battle of Yaojiadai in April, Joe left a regiment because of illness. Although he only fought here for less than three years, he forged lifelong friendship with Zeng Ruqing, Ye Fei, Zhong Qiguang, Zhang Fan, Liu Xiansheng and Liao Zhengguo. Especially with Zeng Ruqing and * * * who were once imprisoned in the Kuomintang prison, they fought with the prison and became lifelong friends. Therefore, although Joe left the group and later became paralyzed, they kept thinking about him, helping him and visiting him. Although Zeng Ruqing didn't have a chance to meet him, he saved his meager nutrition fee and asked him to bring it to Joe.
Open the Anti-Japanese Situation in Taixian County
From September 1942 to June 1943, Zeng Ruqing was ordered to lead a 2nd Battalion to Taixian to restore and consolidate the anti-Japanese base areas. He deeply mobilized the masses, established an independent regiment in Taixian county, organized troops to win big victories such as Eastern Xia Zhuang and Miaojiadai, and a series of small victories, which effectively dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese puppet troops trying to destroy our base areas, inspired the people's anti-Japanese fighting spirit, and consolidated and expanded the anti-Japanese base areas in Taixian county. In an emergency, when the enemy's vanguard troops arrived near our regimental headquarters, he responded quickly and immediately fired two shuttle bullets. When I heard the news, the ambush troops immediately dispatched and destroyed the enemy. This kind of achievement was bought with his health. He had an attack, rolled out of bed in pain and vomited all the medicine he had just taken. He wanted to take him to the hospital, but he waved his hand and said that the summary had not been done yet.
Lujiatan blocked the Japanese aggressors.
1944, in the battle of axle, the first regiment was responsible for stopping enemy reinforcements. Together with head Liao Zhengguo, he led the soldiers to lay minefields and blew the devils upside down. He also calmly commanded the troops and asked the soldiers to approach the enemy. It was not until the enemy's bayonet approached his eyes that he gave the order to strike and hit the enemy hard and accurately. When the enemy tried to escape, he personally led the reserve team to attack, outflanked the enemy and launched hand-to-hand combat, and finally defeated the enemy. In the evening, he found another batch of reinforcements in the black reed beach. When he lost contact with the head of the team, Liao Zhengguo, he made an independent decision, immediately adjusted his deployment, and organized troops to successfully block the enemy who tried to reinforce. The victory of this battle made a regiment famous and shocked the New Fourth Army.
Stop a strong enemy with fewer victories and more.
1in the spring of 945, a teaching brigade was established in the Suzhong Military Region. Zeng Ruqing was appointed as the director of the brigade political department, and was soon ordered to go south and be reorganized into the fourth column of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region. Zeng Ruqing led eleven teams as an advance team, ready to open up Fujian and Zhejiang base areas. Here, he first paid special attention to the combat training of the troops in the new terrain-mountainous conditions, and at the same time paid great attention to the people in the new area and grasped the policies. When the local people really encounter difficulties and don't know our army, he doesn't blame his comrades who don't accept food. Instead, he praised them for doing a good job, letting the masses know what kind of army we are, and finally succeeded in collecting food. In Xiaofeng's third campaign against obstinacy, he led a regiment to stop three enemy brigades. As a result, we won the main support time and finally won the battle. Therefore, some comrades rated him as good at political work, good at fighting and high in military accomplishment.
Dimengxue Guliang
In this battle to annihilate the 74th Division of the elite enemy troops, Zeng Ruqing, then the political commissar of the 1 longitudinal division, took on the arduous task of blocking the enemy in the northwest of Meng Lianggu. He decisively mobilized troops to stabilize the main position in tianmashan, and the battle was extremely difficult. He was so tired that he vomited blood. However, since then, he still took part in a series of major military actions in the Huaihai Campaign, such as attacking Lunan, Suiqi Campaign, Changlangtun, Wang Laoji, attacking Yaowan, defending Shuikou, and chasing and intercepting Yu Ming.
Later, he served as the division commander and political commissar of the 58th Division, led his troops to participate in the battle of crossing the river, broke through the natural barrier from Yangzhong, and created a brilliant record of chasing the enemy for 75 kilometers day and night and capturing more than 2000 people/kloc-0.

He was ordered to take Pinghu and Kejinshanwei, storm the 37th Army, even Kebaiqu Station, Sanlintang and Yangsi Town, advance to Zhoujiadu, then attack Yang Jing and Mudu, cover KeGao Qiao's friendly forces, wipe out the enemy troops on the defensive in Pudong, and make positive contributions to the liberation of Shanghai.
However, his health is getting worse. After the liberation of Shanghai, he was finally diagnosed with tuberculosis. What supported him in this series of battles was his strong will and unyielding fighting spirit.
Fighting sick on the Korean battlefield

Although Zeng Ruqing, then the political commissar of the 27th Army, had been diagnosed with lung disease and often coughed with blood in his sputum, he still set foot on this land of MINUS 30 degrees. He worked hard day and night to organize the rush of materials to North Korea, and walked three or four miles under knee-deep snow to give a report to the wounded. Even better, he and other leading comrades led the officers and men of the 27th Army to fight the first good battle abroad, and wiped out two battalions of a US regiment (one of which was an artillery battalion). Not only seized a large number of military supplies, but also seized the flag of the 32 nd regiment of the 7 th Division of the US Army.

Injustice of Mongolian in Xinjiang
Rushed into the General Administration of Labor to fight Wang Hongwen.
During the Cultural Revolution, he dared and was good at fighting against the rebels. When he was in Shanghai, in order to solve the problem of the backlog of port goods, he broke into the "General Labor Department" in Shanghai and made positive representations with Wang Hongwen.
