He was a martial arts master among the founding generals, a ghost who fought with a bayonet and once smashed bricks with one hand
In the revolutionary years, most of the soldiers were from the lower social background and had everything to do, including some martial arts masters, the most famous of which was Xu Shiyou, a general from the Shaolin Temple. Today I want to talk about a general, his name is Yang Yong.
The general's "three Yangs" are very powerful, Yang Yong is one of them, he was born in a poor peasant family, his father is a local kung fu master, so when he was a child, Yang Yong and his father learned martial arts, proficient in shape and intention boxing, several big men can not beat him.
In 1927, at the age of 14, Yang Yong joined the Communist Youth League, accompanied the peasant army to attack Changsha, returned to his hometown after defeat, entered Liuyang County Middle School in 1929, dropped out of school in 1930, worked in the Eighth District Soviet Government, joined the Party and joined the Red Army in the same year.
After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Yang Yong served as the political commissar of the 1st Division and the 4th Division of the 1st Army of the Red Army, leading his troops to participate in the Battle of Zhiluo Town, the Battle of Mountain Castle, and then participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Western Expedition.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as deputy regimental commander of the 686th Regiment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and participated in the Pingxingguan Victory. At that time, the mission of the 686 Regiment was to occupy the Laoye Temple, and Yang Yong led a battalion to start a battle, and then the two sides began to fight for bayonets.
The level of the Japanese bayonet is very strong, but it is not possible to meet Yang Yong, only to see him solve an enemy with one knife. There was a Japanese army captain who was very powerful, and several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were injured, and Yang Yong was going to fight with him.
The captain of the Japanese army also wanted to solve Yang Yong, so he rushed over with a knife, and as a result, Yang Yong was angry at his feet and walked up the shape of the fist footwork, and the Japanese captain cut all the shadows, just at this time Yang Yong stabbed the past with a knife and solved the enemy.
The Japanese soldiers present were stunned and dropped their weapons to escape. Russie had a puppet army commander who also knew martial arts, and even made wild claims that there were no opponents in Russi and bullied the good everywhere. When Yang Yong heard about it, he ordered the puppet army to be eaten.
Needless to say, the puppet army was beaten to pieces, and the commander of the puppet army held his head and was caught by Yang Yong, saying that he wanted to compete with him twice. The commander of the puppet army even threw a few punches, but did not stop Yang Yong, and as a result, as soon as Yang Yong struck, he fell to the ground and lost completely.
Because Yang Yong was a flower fist embroidered leg, the commander of the puppet army did not expect to be a practicing family, and he should have escaped early. During the Liberation War, he served as commander of the 1st Column of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army and commander of the 5th Corps of the Second Field Army.
In 1955, Yang Yong became a founding general, and although he held a high position of power, he still insisted on practicing martial arts. Once, when the British marshal visited China, he wanted to see Yang Yong's kung fu. Yang Yong found a brick and asked the British marshal to split the brick, and his hand was painful, but the brick was intact.
Only to see Yang Yong holding a brick in one hand, luck in the other, slammed it up, the brick immediately shattered into several pieces, the British marshal was stunned, even shouted, no wonder the United Nations army was defeated under his hands.
In May 1953, Yang Yong participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, serving as the commander of the 20th Corps of the Volunteer Army, and in the spring of 1954, he served as the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, and also served as the chief of staff and commander, participated in the summer counter-offensive operation, commanded the Battle of Jincheng, and deterred the US-ROK coalition forces.
