In 1979, Comrade Yin Xianbing, the founding colonel who had been in charge of logistics support work at the Political College of the People's Liberation Army for a long time, and was then the vice minister of material security, was hospitalized for treatment due to a serious illness, because Yin Xianbing's level was not high, so the hospital could only arrange an ordinary double ward for him.
However, after Admiral Qin Jiwei learned of this situation, he said to the hospital leaders: You arrange an ordinary double ward for Yin Xianbing, which is not appropriate, arrange a single room for him. What's going on? In this issue, Brother Craftsman will reveal the secret for everyone: General Qin Jiwei has a hard and simple life, strict self-discipline, never uses his position to use his power for personal gain, but why did he make an exception to find a hospital leader and win a single ward for Yin Xianbing? Who is this Yin Xianbing? What is the special status?
The hospital arranged a double ward for the vice minister, why Qin Jiwei thought it was inappropriate
Yin Xianbing, whose ancestral home is Hanchuan, Hubei Province, was born in 1915 from an ordinary poor peasant family in a remote mountain village, and his family was poor since childhood, so in order to survive, Yin Xianbing took the initiative to join the Red Army at the age of 15, originally to find a way out as a soldier, but when he joined the army, he just caught up with the First Anti-Encirclement and Suppression Operation of the Red Army.
Therefore, he was soon promoted from the post of platoon commander of the Red Second Army to the post of deputy chief of staff of the regiment, and participated in the anti-encirclement and suppression struggle in the revolutionary base area of Eyu and Anhui and the Long March Transfer Campaign of the Red Fourth Front.
Founding Lieutenant General was demoted to the rank of colonel
After the Japanese army invaded China in 1937, Yin Xianbing was first appointed as the head of the special agent regiment of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and then became the deputy commander of the guerrilla zone in western Hebei and the commander of the newly organized 11th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
During this period, Yin Xianbing led his troops to launch the Yuan's Heishui River Siege and Annihilation Campaign, and this campaign battle also became a rare glory in Yin Xianbing's military career, after the battle began, in the face of the murderous Japanese aircraft shells, Yin Xianbing, who had no air superiority, led the troops to charge forward, holding a simple light weapon rifle, and won the final victory without fear of life and death.
This battle was not only full of twists and turns, but also thrilling, making everyone sweat, fortunately, the Yuan's Heishui River Siege was finally won, and this battle also became the first great victory of the local armed forces in the western Hebei guerrilla zone. Strongly breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army, Yin Xianbing was bold and careful, and became famous in the First World War.
After receiving wide praise from the head of the headquarters in the whole army and a very high-standard commendation, after the siege of the anti-Ninth Road in southeastern Jin and the victory of the Hundred Regiments, Yin Xianbing was ordered to return to Yan'an in northern Shaanxi and enter the military and political science, military academy and Yan'an Party School to study, and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, Yin Xianbing served as the commander of the Huxi Military Sub-district of the Jiluyu Military Region.
At the beginning of the Liberation War, Yin Xianbing served as the deputy commander of the 1st Column and the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Central Plains Field Army, and at that time, Yin Xianbing was cooperated by General Yang Yong, commander of the 1st Column, and General Su Zhenhua, political commissar of the column.
After 1949, Yin Xianbing was promoted to the commander of the 16th Army of the 5th Corps of the Second Field Army because of his outstanding performance in the battles of liberating Pinghan, Longhai, Dingtao, Henan Yubei, Shandong Lu southwest, Qianli into Dabie Mountain, and Huaihai, and was promoted to commander of the 16th Army of the 5th Corps of the Second Field Army.
Later, Yin Xianbing repeatedly accomplished great feats in battles such as the Battle of Crossing the River and the Battle of The Thousand Miles To Liberate the Great Southwest, and his extraordinary military command ability was revealed. After the founding of New China, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea suddenly broke out in 1950, and Yin Xianbing became the commander of the 16th Army of the Volunteer Army in 1952 and rushed to Korea to participate in the war, and Yin Xianbing's 16th Army was also the only mechanized composite army in the Volunteer Army.
Pointing directly at the west coast of the Korean Peninsula for mobile operations and undertaking the important mission of opposing airborne landing and resisting landings, Yin Xianbing was able to make a name for himself in a foreign land, playing the determination and unyielding fighting spirit of the Chinese army to dare to fight and win, and made great achievements. Originally, according to Yin Xianbing's profound revolutionary qualifications and military merits, he was fully capable and qualified to be awarded the founding lieutenant general, but for some personal reasons, he was seriously criticized by his superiors, and finally he was only awarded the rank of founding colonel.
And Yin Xianbing himself also regretted it very much, in order to show his determination to reform himself, Yin Xianbing never wore a military uniform in front of anyone, and the state did not assign him a very important position. In 1958, after Yin Xianbing returned from Korea, he was arranged to enter the Political Academy of our army and served as a logistics and material support worker for a long time.
Until the beginning of 1983, the state decided to reactivate Yin Xianbing and assign him to the important post of deputy commander of the Beijing Military Region. But unexpectedly, on January 6 of this year, his close comrades-in-arms and his old superiors General Yang Yong and Lieutenant General Xu Liqing died one after another on the same day, giving Yin Xianbing a great blow, overly sad, resulting in a sudden cerebral hemorrhage hospitalization, and a month later he died of a regretful illness at the Beijing 301 General Hospital at the age of 68.
The revolutionary love affair between Yin Xianbing and Qin Jiwei
And the revolutionary love between General Qin Jiwei and Yin Xianbing, but also from the 1940 War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the reorganization of the army began, the two of them are Hubei compatriots, Qin Jiwei is one year older than Yin Xianbing, but because Yin Xianbing participated in the revolution very early, so the position is relatively high, after the integration of the newly organized 11th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, Yin Xianbing took the post of brigade commander, and Qin Jiwei was slightly inferior, only as a deputy brigade commander to cooperate in the battle.
Two young people in their 20s working together, flesh and blood, originally thought that they would be unforgiving to each other, but did not expect that Yin Xianbing never lost his temper, nor did he put on a leadership frame of personality charm, and soon impressed Qin Jiwei. Qin Jiwei was intelligent by nature, had high military talent, and handled many tasks quickly.
It was only because of his lack of combat experience that he sometimes behaved inconclusiveness, but Yin Xianbing's insight into people, saw Qin Jiwei's extraordinary talent, and expected that he would have a promising future in the future.
In the battle, in order to cultivate Qin Jiwei's awareness and command ability to fight independently, Yin Xianbing was even willing to sacrifice himself and give more opportunities to Qin Jiwei, while he himself helped him as a military staff officer and lay a hand. Therefore, with the deliberate help of Yin Xianbing, Qin Jiwei learned a lot of military skills and knowledge, and an extraordinary military command can be revealed, and every time Qin Jiwei encounters something he does not understand, Yin Xianbing will also be patient and carefully guide him over and over again.
From being a person to being a person, to ideological and political military guidance, Yin Xianbing almost passed on all the knowledge he knew to this fellow who was one year older than himself, and in 1941, Yin Xianbing completed the combat mission, was recalled by the head of the headquarters, and went to Yan'an to participate in the study, Qin Jiwei took over Yin Xianbing's position as brigade commander, although the two only got along for a year, but they formed a very deep revolutionary friendship with each other.
Therefore, on the occasion of parting, Qin Jiwei was very reluctant to cultivate his old chief, standing quietly in the doorway, watching Yin Xianbing in the room pack his luggage, and said in a choked tone: Let's say goodbye, but I really don't know when we will see each other again. Yin Xianbing smiled and shook his head, while cleaning up, he joked: It is not life and death, when the revolution is victorious, you can always see, you big masters, how to be like a little girl.
Qin Jiwei suddenly smiled awkwardly, and then walked in: Look at what you said, am I not reluctant to you? After Yin Xianbing finished packing his luggage, he turned around and gently patted Qin Jiwei's shoulder twice, pretending to be relaxed: When the battle is over and the revolution is victorious, our brothers will find a place to have a good drink.
Qin Jiwei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded solemnly: "Well, we can make an appointment, and when the time comes, you can teach me well." Yin Xianbing smiled and nodded, then picked up the suitcase with one hand and stepped away without looking back. Unexpectedly, the difference between the two was nearly ten years, and they did not meet again after the founding of New China.
After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Yin Xianbing and Qin Jiwei went into battle together with Qin Jiwei, and after hearing that Qin Jiwei had made a great deal of great efforts in the Battle of Shangganling, broke out of the name of "God General", and brought out an iron army that was not afraid of death, dared to fight a hard battle, and could also win a battle, his heart was full of pride.
In 1958, Yin Xianbing returned triumphantly from the Korean battlefield and entered the Political Academy of the People's Liberation Army, serving as the deputy minister of material security, responsible for logistics support work for a long time, and has been diligent and earnest.
Your hospital has given him a double room, which is not appropriate
In the winter of 1979, Yin Xianbing felt unwell, at first thought it was just a small problem, did not care, until one day suddenly fainted, still unable to catch his breath, the children insisted on sending him to the hospital for examination, but did not expect to be diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, the condition is serious, must be admitted to the hospital for treatment, if it continues to deteriorate there may be surgery.
However, according to Yin Xianbing's cadre-level treatment, the hospital can only arrange an ordinary double ward for him. Qin Jiwei, who was transferred to the Beijing Military Region as commander, was sad to sleep all night after learning the news that the old chief Yin Xianbing was seriously ill and hospitalized, so he arranged all the work of the rear military region the next day, simply cleaned up, and personally drove to the 301 General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.
At this time, Yin Xianbing was closing his eyes on the hospital bed to recuperate The god Qin Jiwei suddenly pushed the door in, and a familiar "old chief" made Yin Xianbing open his eyes excitedly. Immediately sat up and looked at the people who came in disbelief: Qin, Old Qin, Qin Jiwei. Qin Jiwei agreed while telling Yin Xianbing to lie down and not get excited. Yin Xianbing looked at what Qin Jiwei was carrying in his hand, and said with some embarrassment: Old Qin, how did you come? Isn't the work of the Beijing Military Region busy? You say you're coming, what else do you take?
Qin Jiwei squeezed a smile out of his face and said worriedly: "You are my old chief, you are sick and hospitalized for such a big thing, how can I not come?" Counting the time, we haven't seen each other in decades, how do you feel now? Yin Xianbing smiled: Old, old, but not a big problem. After saying that, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly pointed at Qin Jiwei and said to his children: No manners, quickly call Commander Qin.
But before the juniors could speak, Qin Jiwei suddenly interrupted: "Old Chief, you are angry, don't call you Commander, just call uncle." Yin Xianbing heard the words, his eyes were tearful, and he quickly instructed his children to move a chair for Qin Jiwei to sit down.
Inside the ward, Qin Jiwei and Yin Xianbing talked happily, and outside the ward, the attending doctors and nurses were very curious, and they didn't know what the identity of the patients inside was, and they could actually alarm the commander of the Beijing Military Region to come to visit in person? After chatting for more than half a day, Qin Jiwei saw that Yin Xianbing was a little tired, so he took the initiative to resign and leave: Old Chief, you should take care of your body, I still have things, you have a good rest, I will come to see you another day.
Out of the door of the ward, Qin Jiwei personally found the hospital leader to intercede with the old chief: Yin Xianbing is my old chief, is the old revolutionary Red Army, once spilled blood for the Chinese revolution, made a great achievement, your hospital arranged for him to live in an ordinary double ward, this is not appropriate, arrange a single room for him. Qin Jiwei was strict with himself all his life, hard and simple, and never thought of using power for personal gain, but when it came to Yin Xianbing, who had the grace of knowing him, he was willing to make this exception, and he also hoped that he would get better as soon as possible.
Later, after Yin Xianbing learned that Qin Jiwei actually asked the hospital to change his single ward, his tears fell involuntarily: How lucky I was to meet such an old comrade-in-arms, old Qin, you remember me. Later, Yin Xianbing was quickly discharged from the hospital after a month of recuperation, and also wrote a letter of thanks to Qin Jiwei, and after Qin Jiwei received the letter, he smiled indifferently, personally wrote a reply to let him take good care of his body, and left a sentence at the end of the letter: This is my duty, it is a response to the old chief's thanks.
