Lin Biao's four wild warriors will be born, such as the well-known Li Tianyou, Deng Hua, Han Xianchu and others, and the one we want to introduce today is one of them, although he is not as famous as the person mentioned above.
His name is He Dongsheng, nicknamed "Hair Monkey", in 1911, He Dongsheng was born in Shanbei Village, Liantang Ao Township, You County, Hunan Province, his hometown is not far from Luo Ronghuan's hometown hengshan County, only 20 miles away, the two can be described as fellow villagers.
When he was a teenager, due to his family's poverty, He Dongsheng began to go outside to hunt firewood at the age of 5, catch fish and shrimp to make a living, when he was 11 years old, the family sent him to a carpenter's home as an apprentice, in the carpenter's home, the young He Dongsheng was often bullied by the master's family, giving him pig grass, pouring toilets, washing diapers, not only that, the carpenter master also often punched and kicked him because of some small things, after spending more than a year here like cattle and horses, He Dongsheng could no longer stand it and ran away.
In 1930, the Red Army team came to Youxian County, the people of Youxian County said that the savior of the "poor family" came, He Dongsheng immediately ran a few miles, found the Red Army Commander Zhang Company, said that he wanted to join the army, He Dongsheng due to the malnutrition he ate when he was a child, his body was relatively small, Zhang Company Commander politely rejected him.
He Dongsheng was not dead hearted, so he ran to the cooking class to help burn fire and chop wood, and when the next day the troops were leaving, He Dongsheng hurriedly followed up, and Zhang Company Commander took a look: "Little devil, why don't you leave?"
He Dongsheng hurriedly said, "Isn't this just following along?"
At this time, the enemy planes attacked, and Zhang Lian shouted: "The little devil is about to get down." When the enemy plane left, Commander Zhang asked him, "How old are you, and what is your name?" "He Dongsheng, this year is almost 19, I am a poor family, I have not eaten enough, I can eat enough, I will definitely grow tall soon."
Zhang Lianchang smiled, he couldn't stand He Dongsheng's soft and hard bubbles, so he said, "Well, stay in lianli."
Since then, He Dongsheng has begun his brilliant revolutionary career of conquering the south and fighting the northern war.
Don't look at He Dongsheng's small size, fighting, but it is not ambiguous at all, in 1932, when the troops attacked Huangpi, He Dongsheng, who was then the deputy squad leader, rushed in front of the whole class. On the last high ground, he charged forward, holding a machine gun on the burst, this battle, he eliminated more than 20 enemies, after the war, . Seeing that he was a material to be made, his superiors introduced him to the Chinese Communist Party formally, and soon after, he was promoted to platoon leader.
During the agrarian revolution, He Dongsheng successively served as a political instructor, a signal team leader, a platoon leader, and other positions, and he participated in the anti-encirclement and suppression struggles in the Central Soviet Region and the 25,000-mile Long March.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, He Dongsheng was ordered to go to the Shandong front to resist The Japanese, and he successively served as the leader of the Eighth Route Army's teaching brigade, the chief of staff of the regiment, and the regimental commander.
At the end of 1943, in order to rescue the 200,000 people in the Jiazishan area, the Coastal Military Region of the Communist Party of China decided to uproot the enemy's stronghold at Shigou Cliff, and He Dongsheng was appointed to become the main force attacking Shigou Cliff, where the enemy had 3 squadrons of pseudo-Japanese troops, with a total of more than 500 people, who occupied favorable terrain, were easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After several days of reconnaissance and understanding of the enemy's situation, He Dongsheng decided to launch a fierce attack on the enemy at dawn, and at dawn on January 22, 1944, He Dongsheng led his troops to launch an attack, and our army quickly occupied the enemy's first -- artillery tower.
After resting, He Dongsheng once again led his troops to rush and take the enemy's 6 bunkers, fighting until the night of the 23rd, the enemy only had one turret left, some people said to blow up the turret, He Dongsheng refused, he let people use thatch, plus pepper smoking, for a period of time, the enemy came out and surrendered.
Soon, He Dongsheng received a telegram from Luo Ronghuan: Dashangen, the stronghold was surrounded by Japanese Kou, led the commando team to provide rapid support, received the order, He Dongsheng immediately led the commando team to the Dashan base area non-stop, and after 4 days and 4 nights of rapid marching, the troops came to the bottom of the mountain village at the southern foot of the mountain.
The next day, He Dongsheng led his troops into battle, and when protecting the villagers and retreating, the troops suffered a lot of losses; in the end, there were only 7 people left around He Dongsheng, everyone was wounded, and the enemy attacked again, and He Dongsheng shouted: "In order to rescue the masses, we must grit our teeth and rush out."
Subsequently, He Dongsheng led them to successfully break through, and the next day, He Dongsheng saw Luo Ronghuan, Luo Ronghuan was very happy, he said: "He Dongsheng, you are still here.... Yesterday the plane cannon hit a day, I thought... You fierce son. ”
The local people thought that He Dongsheng was dead, so they prepared a spiritual memorial for him, but when He Dongsheng appeared, everyone happily changed to a celebration, so the local people also called He Dongsheng "the hair monkey that can't die".
During the Liberation War, He Dongsheng came to the northeast and successively served as the commander of the Second Division of the First Column of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, the deputy commander of the 38th Army of Siye, and other positions.
Because He Dongsheng often punched and lunged, leaving him to die and being born later, Lin Biao often asked people: "Where is the hair monkey?" He Dongsheng can fight, his temper is not small, during the Battle of Shenyang, He Dongsheng's troops captured more than 100 guns, he ordered a squad of guards, he led his troops to continue to go deeper, Zhong Wei, who was the commander of the 12th Column at the time, came and took away all the guns captured by He Dongsheng's troops.
Don't look at He Dongsheng as a division commander, he didn't fear Zhong Wei at all, when the lawsuit was about to hit the Dongye headquarters, and later it was through Luo Ronghuan's mediation in it that the matter was put to rest.
In the 1949 Tianjin Campaign, when He Dongsheng, then commander of the 1st 13th Division of the 38th Army, was commanding the battle, deputy commander Cao Lihuai came, and Cao Lihuai said to He Dongsheng: "We are going to the front." He Dongsheng immediately agreed after hearing this.
The two men rode in the newly captured armored vehicle and went on a rampage, and when they came to the Jintang Bridge, Cao Lihuai shouted, "I'll open the way for you!", and then the armored vehicle drove towards the enemy position, and everyone - look, morale soared, followed, and quickly eliminated the enemy.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, He Dongsheng successively served as vice president of the Central South Military and Political University, president of the Xinyang 21st Infantry School, deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region and commander of the Guangdong Provincial Military Region, and in 1955, he was awarded the rank of major general.
General He Dongsheng's wife is called Chen Ling, and it is still a good story when it comes to this relationship.
In 1947, when the enemy attacked Linjiang, Jilin Province, Du Guanghua, who was then the commander of the 10th Division of the 4th Column of Dongye, was ordered to resist and unfortunately died, and when he died, his wife Chen Ling was now pregnant with Liujia and had a daughter.
Du Guanghua sacrificed, Chen Ling learned of this, grief-stricken, the military region leaders comforted her,- - must live well, bring the child to adulthood, a woman to raise two children, obviously very difficult, the political commissar peng Jiaqing proposed to be a matchmaker for her. The person introduced to Chen Ling was Du Guanghua's old comrade-in-arms He Dongsheng.
On the night of the wedding, Chen Ling said to He Dongsheng, "We are dragging you down."
He Dongsheng said, "They are Master Du's children, and they will be my children in the future, so you can rest assured."
In order to give the child a better childhood, He Dongsheng changed the child's surname to his own surname and told the staff around him that he must keep this secret.
For these two children, He Dongsheng regarded them as his own, Chen Ling once said: "Old He to the light, Hua's two children are even better than their own children, here is too deep that kind of life and death and common comradeship, is incomparable to any emotion, now our family is very harmonious."
In 1998, before He Dongsheng died, he told the two children about this matter, and the two children did not resent He Dongsheng, and later, they went to the sacrifice of their biological father, Du Guanghua.
