In the military career of General Wang Liusheng, there is one thing that he has always remembered vividly and unforgettable for a lifetime.
In September 1935, at the age of 19, Wang Liusheng served as a trumpeter in the Tenth Regiment of the Red Fourth Division and accompanied the troops on the Long March.
During a blockade battle, he suffered a serious wound to his right arm and a broken shoulder blade.
At that time, the regimental health team considered that the troops fought almost every day, afraid of accidents on the way, and decided to foster Wang Liusheng in the homes of ordinary people.
As soon as Wang Liusheng heard this, he was immediately anxious, and quickly ran to the team headquarters to appeal the reasons, asking him to stay in the army and continue to advance north. But the comrades in the health team were all nervously busy, and they couldn't take care of solving his problems.
Seeing this, Wang Liusheng cried in disappointment.
After a while, Wang Liusheng suddenly had a clever move and had an idea: Yes! We should go to Yang Yong, the political commissar of the regiment.
Thinking of this, he wiped two handfuls of tears, raised his legs and ran towards the regimental headquarters.
When Yang Yong saw Wang Liusheng running, Lao Yuan greeted him warmly: "'Little Local Tycoon' (nickname for people with white skin), you are back, how is the wound?" ”
Wang Liusheng immediately poured out his heartfelt words to the political commissar: "I can't carry things now, but I can still go." Even if you can't go, you will have to follow you to northern Shaanxi. Don't leave me alone!" ”
Listening to this earnest complaint, Yang Yong immediately smiled, pondered for a moment, and said: "Respect the opinions of your 'little local tycoon', if you don't stay, you won't stay." But be prepared to suffer! ”
When Wang Liusheng saw that the political commissar agreed to let him stay, he was very happy and immediately assured: "No matter how bitter I am, I am not afraid!" ”
Seeing this, Yang Yong ordered the guards to bring him two pieces of fresh yang, and also gave him a tender donkey that had just been confiscated by the local tycoons, and encouraged him: "Go and recuperate well, and come back early; no matter what, we must go to the destination and go to northern Shaanxi!" ”
Wang Liusheng looked at the donkey sent by the political commissar and listened to the political commissar's earnest instructions, and his whole body and mind were immersed in warmth.
When the troops set off, Wang Liusheng secretly resolved that he must feed the donkey well, and after arriving in northern Shaanxi, he would take it back to Yang Yong, the political commissar. On the way, Wang Liusheng cherished the donkey very much, and whenever he rested, no matter how tired he was, he had to find a way to find water and feed it carefully.
In the first few days, because the donkey was not weaned for a long time, it was very disobedient, and as soon as something was placed on it, it jumped around and ran around.
An injured platoon leader saw this and said angrily, "Look at this guy, he's as dishonest as a local tycoon, you have to beat him up!" ”
Saying that, he cut a thorn with his hand and was about to hit it.
Wang Liusheng rushed over to grab the thorn strip and persuaded, "Forget it, it is still tender, it will be fine in a few days, don't fight." ”
Arriving in northern Shaanxi, Wang Liusheng took a donkey and was transferred from the health team to the hospital for treatment.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital after his injury, Wang Liusheng led his beloved donkey and happily embarked on the way home.
At the same time, the comrade who was discharged from the hospital saw him pulling the donkey back to the team, and came up with the idea: "Since it is yours, you can be the master of selling it, and a donkey is worth twelve or three yuan." ”
Wang Liusheng shook his head, his thought was: This donkey was personally given to me by Commissar Yang Yong, and it symbolizes class fraternity.
A donkey is worth twelve or three dollars, but class fraternity is invaluable.
