got 18 swords and miraculously survived, forming the first special forces , and was awarded the major general, and lived 105 years old
As the saying goes, "If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune." There was a man who was stabbed 18 swords and actually survived. Later, he formed the first special forces unit of the People's Liberation Army. After the founding of the People's Liberation Army, he was awarded the founding major general, and he was Chen Ruiting.
Chen Ruiting was born in the late Qing Dynasty. His hometown is Jimo, Shandong. His parents are both ordinary farmers. In 1925, he applied to Jinan Normal University. After graduation, he worked as a teacher at Cangkou Primary School in Qingdao.
He might have been a teacher for the rest of his life, but after the Jinan tragedy, Chen Ruiting hated the Japanese invaders, so he gave up the stable work of teachers. Despite his family's opposition, he applied to Hebei Military and Political School, and later called Whampoa Military Academy No. 7 and joined the Kuomintang.
He was in the Kuomintang and saw the corruption of Chiang Kai-shek's government. He was very dissatisfied and secretly joined the Communist Party of China in 1936. From 1928 to April 1941, he served as deputy captain, district captain, company commander, battalion commander, and regiment commander of the National Revolutionary Army. He participated in battles and battles such as the Hebei-Central Anti-Japanese War, the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and the Zaoyi Battle , and made great achievements.
1941, it was the period when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated with each other . However, Chiang Kai-shek deliberately engaged in friction. His superiors ordered Chen Ruiting to launch an attack on Peng Xuefeng's troops of the New Fourth Army. Isn't this your own people attacking your own people?
Chen Ruiting didn't want to do this, so he was ready to lead his troops to revolt. An uprising is a big event. It does not mean that it is an uprising. It also requires unified ideological education for everyone so that the morale of the army can be stable.
There were some reactionary officers in his army who did not agree to the uprising, so they secretly discussed to assassinate Chen Ruiting and then lead the troops to mutiny.
It was already evening. Chen Ruiting lay down and went to bed. Suddenly he heard gunshots outside. He quickly put on his clothes and wanted to go out to take a look. As soon as he opened the door, several knives stabbed him.
He wanted to avoid it, but there were too many knives and could not dodge at all. In the end, he stabbed him firmly. The assassin stabbed several times. Chen Ruiting hid in the house desperately, and even wiped his blood on his face, pretending to be seriously injured, and fell to the ground.
Assassin looked at him and thought he would definitely not be able to save him, but he still made up for a shot, but the bullet failed to hit him and left quickly. After the assassin left, he ignored the pain and organized personnel to control the troops and captured more than a dozen reactionaries who were returning to chop his head and went back to seek credit.
He was very serious. After examination, he was found to have been hit by 18. The party organization sent the best doctors and nurses at that time, and spent a lot of money to buy Western medicine from the enemy-occupied area to treat his injuries and finally rescue him. It was a miracle. After healed from the injury, Chen Ruiting went to the Party School of the Central China Bureau to study. In 1946, he served as the Chief of Staff and Artillery Commander of the New Fourth Army Command, but he had nothing in his hands, no artillery, no bullets, and no soldiers, and he was just a commander.
But Chen Ruiting said that although we have nothing, there is Chiang Kai-shek, the "transportation captain", as long as he wins a battle, he will give us the latest American cannon.
11 In January 1947, the victory of the Lunan Battle ended, and Chen Ruiting seized 48 105 American howitzers and 28 tanks . In March, the East China Field Army Special Forces Column was formed, and he served as the commander of the column. This was the first special forces unit in the history of the People's Liberation Army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Ruiting served as the commander of the artillery in the East China Military Region, the chief of artillery in the Central Military Commission, deputy commander, and deputy director of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry. In 1955, he was awarded the founding major general.
Although Chen Ruiting was beaten 18 times, he lived a long life, lived to be 105 years old, and died in 2010.
