History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
Siye was one of the four main forces of our army during the Liberation War, among which there were many famous generals, but among them, there was such a person, when he joined the army, the devil had not yet surrendered, 16-year-old he went to Jiaodong to join the army, became a soldier under Xu Shiyou's account, and then after several turns, when it came to the time of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, he became Xu Shiyou's soldier, the two worked together in the Guangzhou Military Region for many years, strictly speaking, he was brought out by Xu Shiyou.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, most of the Shandong troops went to the northeast region at that time, so he became a soldier in siye, and this small soldier was Zhang Wannian; in the Northeast Field Army, Zhang Wannian was a platoon leader of the 36th Regiment, and the platoon leader was a grassroots officer, who rushed to the front when fighting and stayed behind when retreating.
In the autumn offensive of 1947, 19-year-old Zhang Wannian took his platoon of soldiers to serve as a surprise mission, and in this battle, because he rushed to the front, Zhang Wannian was hit by bullets and almost died, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Wannian participated in the Guangdong bandits, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and other wars, no matter which war, Zhang Wannian made a great contribution, Zhang Wannian has a characteristic, that is, he likes to mix with the soldiers.
At that time, a teacher commander said that when you were the commander of the regiment, you couldn't find him in the organs, you needed to go to the company to find him, and when you found him, he trained with the soldiers. When Zhang Wannian was the commander of the division, when a soldier's ear was frostbitten, he immediately held a meeting to solve the problems of the soldiers, and he even personally reviewed the soldiers, admitting that his negligence caused the soldiers to frostbite their ears.
In 1996, when Zhang Wannian, who was already vice chairman of the Central Military Commission at the time, inspected Shanxi, he learned that a soldier had become a monk, and when the others were laughing, Zhang Wannian could not laugh, so he personally went up mount Wutai to find the soldier, personally asked the reason to know that the soldier was wronged in the army at that time, Zhang Wannian returned and immediately found the company leader where the soldier was located, personally inquired, and finally asked the company commander to personally find the soldier back.
General Zhang Wannian loved soldiers like sons, and his life was a life of selfless dedication, anti-Japanese resistance. General Zhang Wannian, such as liberation, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the War of Self-Defense against Vietnam, can be said to have experienced hundreds of battles and made great contributions to the motherland, and in 2015, General Zhang Wannian died at the age of 87.
