Soldiers are always accompanied by the word danger, especially in the wartime era. "Drunken battlefield Jun Mo smiled, how many people did Gu Lai fight back?" As described in ancient poems, every soldier in the republic who went to war had the determination to sacrifice his life for righteousness.
Among the many founding generals of the republic, Yang Yong's military career perfectly explains what is brave and fearless, resourceful and decisive, and there are many classic cases of popularity in his military career.
When he went to the southwest to suppress bandits, he was almost assassinated, but he finally turned the danger into a disaster, and what kind of bizarre story happened in this?
Enemies become brothers
Most of the assassinations appear in works of art, and generally the people who are assassinated are "big people" level, so every time he thinks back to the assassination he once suffered, Yang Yong can't help but feel ridiculous, because compared with the assassinations of those big people, his "assassination" seems to be too oolong.
In 1949, the whole country was shrouded in a wave of liberation, and Yang Yong was no exception, when he received the task of liberating the southwest from his superiors, so he led his subordinate Erye Fifth Army to start a vigorous liberation campaign.
The liberation of the southwest region is no less than that of the northern region, where the mountains and rivers are long and the climate is humid and hot, which to a certain extent has brought a lot of resistance to the liberation.
But Yang Yong did not flinch, he led his troops into the cities occupied by the Kuomintang, and gradually brought the revolutionary spring wind to the homes of the common people, and achieved good results.
But this also brought hidden dangers to his life safety, as early as when he entered Huang County, Guizhou, there was already a group of stubborn Kuomintang remnants, trying to get a moment of peace by assassinating Yang Yong.
To this end, they specially dispatched the local police chief Yang Shimin to assassinate him.
And the story that followed was dramatic.
At that time, when Yang Shimin came to the PLA garrison where the mobilization meeting was being held, he did not immediately assassinate Yang Yong, and it turned out that he wanted to listen to the next step of the PLA's plan and plan before carrying out the assassination.
Who knows that Yang Shimin is listening to the commander's voice next to him, the more he listens to it, the more familiar he is, driven by curiosity, let him appear in the sight of everyone, Yang Shimin's sudden appearance made everyone present immediately alert, Yang Yong fixed his eyes on it, it was actually an acquaintance.
"Cousin, why are you here?"
Yang Shimin looked at Yang Yong's eyes and turned red, and immediately rushed forward to hug Yang Yong, shouting excitedly: "Cousin, it's you!" ”
It turned out that Yang Shimin was the target of assassination at this time
It is my cousin who has played from childhood to adulthood
It was really a big water that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't know a family.
Small revolutions to old revolutions
On October 28, 1913, Yang Yong was born in a poor peasant family in Hunan, although the family was poor, Yang Yong still entered the academy with the support of his parents, and did not become a "blind man", and it was precisely because of this opportunity that Yang Yong finally embarked on the revolutionary road.
In 1926, at this time, China was at a critical moment of social change, don't look at Yang Yong was only 13 years old, but under the influence of revolutionary ideas, he became a boy scout very early, and soon Yang Yong, who dared to think and dare to do, became the leader of the local children's league.
Since then, Yang Yong has contributed his life's strength to the Chinese revolution, whether in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, or the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Yang Yong has a bravery and invincibility that is difficult for ordinary people to match.
He was also wounded many times, with a two-centimeter-long bullet mark on his head that no longer spawned during the confrontation with the Kuomintang; a "Xiangjiang Campaign Medal" on his leg; another time in the Battle of Tucheng, the bullet came out of his right cheek into his lip, this time he lost 6 teeth at once; in 1937, when he met the Japanese White Blade, his left shoulder was pierced by a bullet, leaving a permanent crater. It can be said that every scar on Yang Yong's body is a small microcosm of his dedication to the country.
And he also grew from a "small revolution" who knew nothing about it to an "old revolution" who had experienced many battles.
Fight for China all your life
Two flowers bloomed, one on each table, and after Yang Yong and his cousin Yang Shimin recognized each other, the two introduced each other's situation one by one. When he learned that Yang Shimin had come to assassinate himself, Yang Yong did not feel afraid, but instead he persuaded his cousin to surrender from the position of a revolutionary. He sincerely told his cousin that the PLA's treatment of prisoners exposed the lies that smeared the PLA's mistreatment of prisoners.
Under the persuasion of Yang Yong, Yang Shimin also realized his mistake, and also took the initiative to go up the mountain to persuade the bandits who originally wanted to resist the PLA to the end, and the PLA completed the task of suppressing bandits without spending a single soldier, which can be said that Yang Yong was indispensable.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he organized and participated in the summer counterattack operation and commanded the Battle of Jincheng, which achieved a complete victory, and also played a deterrent role in the US-ROK alliance and made great contributions to the future armistice.
After returning home he successively
He served as commander of the Beijing Military Region, deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region, commander of the Xinjiang Military Region, second secretary of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region Party Committee, and deputy director of the Autonomous Region Revolutionary Committee
。
Under his leadership, the Southern Xinjiang Railway, the Tianshan Highway and the Urumqi Petrochemical Plant were completed one by one, making great contributions to the industrialization process of China's western region.
Yang Yong loved soldiers like sons, but also paid attention to army building, he often went deep into the grass-roots level to investigate and study, organized and formulated a three-year plan for army building, and played a role in promoting the modernization of the motherland's army.
From the time he joined the army at the age of 13 to his death in 1983, Yang Yong has been in the cause of army building in the motherland for decades, rain or shine, and is a well-deserved pioneer in the construction of China's national defense cause, and deserves our respect and love.
brief summary:
Yang Yong's life seems to be a microcosm of new China, from the initial poor and unable to survive as a boy to joining the army for the revolutionary volunteers, all of which reflect the heartache of New China from the initial weak situation of the people being poor and surrounded by great powers, to finally defeating the great powers and establishing a new political regime in which the people are the masters of their own affairs.
During this period, thousands of righteous people like Yang Yong who made efforts for the Chinese revolution could not be separated. It is precisely because of them that we have the peaceful social environment today and the rich people's lives today.
Although the revolutionaries have left us, their revolutionary spirit should be passed down by us and carried forward. In this way, we can better carry forward the past and embark on a new journey!
