We have all heard of the 38th Army, the ace army in the People's Liberation Army, that on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the 38th Army won the title of "Long Live army," and the commander of the army, Liang Xingchu, was also famous at home and abroad, but few people knew that Jiang Yonghui, deputy of the 38th Army, took over Liang Xingchu's class.
Jiang Yonghui was able to take over Liang Xingchu's class as the commander of the 38th Army, Liang Xingchu helped him a lot, and Jiang Yonghui once saved Liang Xingchu's life, the two can be said to be friends of life and death, for a long time Jiang Yonghui has been Liang Xingchu's deputy, and the two have a very tacit understanding.
Jiang Yonghui was a native of Ruijin County, Jiangxi Province, who served as the leader of the Children's Regiment, became a soldier of the Red Army in 1933, and served as a cadet of the Red First Army Security Bureau, and later Jiang Yonghui served as a deputy commissioner of the regiment and a special dispatch officer of the division.
Jiang Yonghui's work was political, and he progressed rapidly, and during the anti-Japanese period he was an inspector of the 115th Division's Security Bureau, and later transferred to Shandong as the regimental political commissar, and it was at this time that he saved Liang Xingchu's life, that is, in September 1939.
At that time, Liang Xingchu was the captain of the fourth brigade of the Suluyu detachment, but he was said to be a Japanese agent in the "Sutuo", and he had already been arrested and was preparing to be shot, and this situation was reported to Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar of the 115th Division, who rushed to deal with the matter with Jiang Yonghui overnight.
Wang Fengming, who was then the director of the political department of the Suluyu detachment, reported to Luo Ronghuan about Liang Xingchu, said that Liang Xingchu was the head of the Japanese secret service, and demanded that Liang Xingchu be executed.
Later, according to Jiang Yonghui's report, "Liang Xingchu still has 9 scars on his body, would he be a Japanese agent!" In addition, Jiang Yonghui also said that the radio station and translator of the brigade were controlled by Wang Fengming, and Liang Xingchu could not send telegrams.
Jiang Yonghui's attitude was obvious, he did not think that Liang Xingchu was a Japanese agent, and later Luo Ronghuan verified the situation and ordered Liang Xingchu to be released immediately, and after his release, Liang Xingchu knew that Jiang Yonghui would speak on his own and regarded him as a savior.
Soon liang Xingchu became the commander of the 5th Teaching Brigade, and he wanted Jiang Yonghui to be the director of the political department of his 13th regiment, and later with Liang Xingchu's help, Jiang Yonghui gradually changed from a political worker to a general who commanded the war, and Liang Xingchu helped a lot.
During the Liberation War, Jiang Yonghui followed Liang Xingchu to the northeast, and Jiang Yonghui made many military achievements, and was later promoted to deputy commander of the 1st Division, and the division commander was Liang Xingchu.
The 38th Army was able to make outstanding military achievements on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and it was inseparable from Jiang Yonghui's command on the front line; at that time, Liang Xingchu was in command at the headquarters, and The deputy yang Yonghui personally led the troops to carry out interspersed operations, and was the only deputy commander in command at the front.
After completing the mission, the 38th Army entered the Defense of the Han River, Liang Xingchu returned to China to recuperate, and the deputy Yangtze River Yonghui took on the burden of the 38th Army, and in 1952, at the suggestion of Liang Xingchu, the Central Military Commission appointed Jiang Yonghui as the commander of the 38th Army, the third commander.
In 1955, Jiang Yonghui was awarded the rank of major general, and successively served as deputy chief of staff, chief of staff, and deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region, and as commander of the Fuzhou Military Region.
At that time, faced with the question of whether the Fuzhou Military Region should be withdrawn or retained, many people hoped that Jiang Yonghui would come forward to find his superiors and hope that the Fuzhou Military Region would not be abolished.
Later, the two fuzhou military regions and the Nanjing military region merged, and there was no Jiang Yonghui in the new list, which meant that he was going to retire, and on August 30, 1985, Jiang Yonghui officially retired, when he was 68 years old, and on February 13, 1991, Jiang Yonghui died of illness in Shenyang at the age of 74.
