At the door of a unit, an old man offered to go in to see his son in the unit, but the soldiers standing guard refused. Although the old man was very imposing, none of the soldiers had ever seen him, nor did they know the old man, so they did not dare to let him in. Soon, the old man became impatient, waved his hand and said, "I don't want you to let me in, call out your division commander, he knows me." ”
At this point, the soldier did not dare to delay, and quickly ran in to report: "Report to the division commander, there is an old man outside who wants to come in to find his son, but I have not seen it, he said he knows you." After Pei Feizheng heard this, he immediately understood, did not care about the matter at hand, and hurried to the door with the soldiers.

Pei Fei was looking at the old man and said to the soldiers at the door: "This is General He Jian, you should remember it well, and next time you come and let it go directly." When the old general He Jian saw his son, he was satisfied and left by train in the afternoon.
Speaking of this old man, his experience is also magnificent and full of legends.
Let's first introduce this old man:
He Jian, whose original name was Yu Anliang, was born on October 6, 1911 in Huang'an, Hubei Province, to an ordinary peasant family. At that time, it was a period of social turmoil, so from an early age, He Jian had a great ideal of defending his family and defending the country, and when he grew up, he always wanted to go out and go out and join the army to defend the country.
But He Jian's family did not approve of this idea, dissuading: "Now there are wars everywhere, it is dangerous for you to go to war, if you are not careful, you may die, we hope that you can have a skill, and finally marry and have children." He Jian nodded in agreement on the surface, but in his heart he never gave up the idea of joining the army, but he didn't know how to tell his family about joining the army.
Until one day, He Jian's brother told him: "You are not small, it is time to go outside to learn technology and make a living." He Jian suddenly said: I don't have to tell my family that I want to join the army, I just go secretly, as long as I tell them that I am going to go outside to learn technology, they will definitely agree.
He Jian began to pack up his things and said to his parents early in the morning: "Mommy and Daddy, I am not young, it is time to go out to work and learn a skill." When his parents saw that He Jian had grown up, he said with great satisfaction: "You have grown up, it is time to go out, but now it is very dangerous outside, you must protect yourself well, do not go up to anything dangerous, just be safe and secure." He Jian nodded and said, "Parents, you can rest assured, I will definitely protect myself when I go out." ”
In this way, as soon as He Jian left home, he signed up to join the Red Army. Although life in the army was hard, He Jian, with a patriotic feeling, trained harder than everyone else and never cried bitterly. His superior Xu Xiangqian saw that He Jian was more diligent and strong than everyone else in the training of the troops, and he appreciated him very much, so he transferred him to his personal guard.
After the Outbreak of the Battle of Huangguang, Xu Xiangqian, as a marshal, fought bravely with his soldiers on the front line, and as his personal guard, He Jian bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield while protecting Xu Xiangqian. After the enemy recognized Xu Qianqian's identity, the shells attacked Toward Xu Forward, the enemy attack was very fierce, He Jian could not divide the high degree of attention to protect Xu Xiangqian, and could only constantly use the afterglow to pay attention to the situation.
When He Jian once again dodged the enemy's attack and used the afterglow to pay attention to Xu Qianqian's situation, He Jian was shocked, and he saw that the enemy troops were throwing grenades at Xu Qianqian! At that time, the situation was already very critical, and He Jian could only shout at Xu Forward: "Be careful, there are grenades." He threw himself forward at Xu, fortunately dodging the grenade, but still getting a little injured.
But He Jian only paid attention to whether Xu Xiangqian was injured, because he always remembered that he was Xu Xiangqian's personal guard and had the duty to protect the marshal. Xu Xiangqian also admired and appreciated He Jian's spirit of not fearing life and death and not being afraid of sacrifice. Since then, Xu Xiangqian began to reuse He Jian, and He Jian also fulfilled his mission and completed important tasks many times.
In 1931, in order to strengthen the reserve of grass-roots cadres in the army, the Eyu-Anhui Military Commission held a training course for grass-roots military cadres, and He Jian, as an excellent squad leader, was also selected among them. The course was built in a small, quiet mountain village and was headed by Li Te, who had just graduated from the Soviet Military Academy and served as bishop. Instructor Li Te has a fiery personality and is extremely demanding of the trainees, and if he does not do well, he will either beat or scold, and he will not be soft.
When Li Te gave the students a theory lesson, he found that everyone was taking notes, but He Jian had not taken notes. Li Te immediately angrily asked He Jian to stand up and asked him: "So people are taking notes, why don't you do it?" Are you worthy of the party and the chairman in this way? He Jian immediately said loudly, "I have remembered everything you said." ”
Li Te became even more angry and said, "Then you say, if you say it wrong, I will drag you out and kill you." He Jian said everything Li Tegang said. After Hearing that what he said was correct, Li Te calmed down and said, "Even if you remember, it will not delay you from taking notes, why don't you take notes?" He Jian could only answer truthfully: "I can't write." ”
Li Te thought for a moment and said, "After lunch, you will lead the second team to engage in infantry defense combat training. After the meal, He Jian led the team to conduct defensive training, and it was two hours before the infantry defense position was set up. Finally, He Jian carefully checked again before asking Instructor Li Te to check it.
After Li Te arrived at the position, he found at a glance that the length of the trench set up was not long enough, and immediately asked He Jian: "How many meters is the defensive front of your platoon?" He Jian replied two hundred meters, and Li Te angrily scolded: "Obviously I am talking about three hundred meters in class, why did you set two hundred meters?" ”
He Jian quickly explained: "That's because the three-hundred-meter defensive position doesn't meet our actual situation." Unlike the Red Army, we have only forty men in one infantry platoon, but we will still keep a squad of reserves, and only thirty people will actually fight, and we can only defend more than one hundred meters at most, even if it is two hundred meters, it is very difficult. ”

Li Te did not lose his temper when he heard He Jian's words, but just walked to the light machine gun bunker with a straight face and asked: "There is only one light machine gun in the platoon, why did you dig up four shooting bunkers?" He Jian replied: "Machine guns are the focus of enemy artillery strikes, and digging up a few more bunkers can better cover the machine guns to move positions." ”
Li Te looked at the heavy machine gun in the rear and asked, "Then what is this for?" He Jian said: "If you need to strengthen the firepower, the superior is equipped with a heavy machine gun, which can be used for cover, and the position here is high, you can fight from a high place, beyond the shooting, and will not hurt our own people." ”
Li Te smiled and said, "You also know that beyond shooting, it's not easy!" As he spoke, he said to the other cadets, "This flexible way of combat is worth advocating, and you can learn from He Jian." After saying that, he left happily.
At the training class, He Jian realized that he still had many deficiencies and still had a lot to learn, and began to pay attention to cultural, military and political learning. In the training class, He Jian insisted on getting up early every day to read and memorize textbooks, even if everyone slept at night, he still picked the lamp to read at night. In the two and a half years of study in the training class, He Jian has insisted on this, and can only sleep four hours a day.
In the end, He Jian's efforts paid off. In the past few years of professional study, he has scored high scores in all professional subjects and passed the examination with excellent results.
In 1935, Xu Xiangqian summoned He Jian: "Now there is a very important task, I will entrust this task to you, and you will now immediately take the army to escort the chief to the two estuary of the mao attack for a meeting." He Jian gave Xu Xiangqian a military salute and said, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

But in fact, this task was first proposed by a certain chief, because the previous chief was very impressed with He Jian. After dinner once, the chief and Xu Xiangqian walked forward on the road, only the two leaders walked in front, all the guards followed far behind, only He Jian ran to the front, took a gun and carefully inspected the grass and other places that the leader was going to pass.
The chief noticed him at a glance and asked Xu Xiangqian whose guard he was, and Xu Xiangqian said it was mine. The chief exclaimed, "He's very good, only he's in front of us, he's very guard-minded, and the rest are behind." "Therefore, I appreciate He Jian very much."
The chief thought of sending him a telegram from the central authorities asking him to go to the Lianghekou for a meeting, but the journey from Maoxian to the Lianghekou was arduous, not only to cross the steep mountains, but also to cross the rushing river. The chief was very worried about this trip, and after thinking of He Jian, he immediately decided to let him serve as the captain of the guard team for the trip. The chief also said: "I am very relieved that the guard work will be entrusted to He Jian on this trip. ”
Although the chief was very relieved about himself, He Jian was still very nervous and had great psychological pressure, because He Jian knew that the chief was very serious and rigorous in both his subordinates and his work.
Before leaving, Xu Xiangqian once stressed: This trip must protect the safety of the chief to go to the Lianghekou for a meeting, and he must not let the chief leave his sight, and he must not let down his vigilance at any time. Therefore, He Jian was highly concentrated and extra cautious about the arrangement of guard work, and there must not be a single mistake.
Early in the morning, He Jian and his guards followed the chief to the mouth of the two rivers, and many parts of the road were washed away by the river or blocked by wood, and could only be detoured from the dense forest. Therefore, the group walked for several days before resting. In the evening, the chief said to He Jian: "You have done a good job, and tomorrow you will see the Central Red Army." Take a good rest tonight, check your weapons and supplies, rest early, and let them have a good look at our mental outlook tomorrow. ”

The next morning, He Jian lined up with dozens of guards, all dressed in military uniforms, belts, leggings, and pistols crossed around his waist, neatly and energetically. The first elder waved his hand and gave an order: Go!
The march was very smooth on this day, and He Jian was excited at the thought of seeing the Central Red Army and the central leaders such as Zhu De and Mao Zedong. In the afternoon, they were finally close to reaching the mouth of the Two Rivers, and He Jian also received a report: Mao Zedong had led the central leaders to meet them. He Jian immediately reported to the chief, who immediately ordered the team to hurry up and whip.
Not long after, He Jian saw many people standing on both sides of the road, and the chief excitedly flew off his horse to shake hands and hug the leader at the front, the scene was very lively, and a welcome party was held. But even so, He Jian did not let down his vigilance, and always followed the chief to protect his safety, even when he was resting at night, He Jian only made a bunk in the chief's house.
In the morning, He Jian got up and saw seven or eight people in the chief's house eating breakfast together, and He Jian and the leaders introduced themselves. Just after he finished speaking, He Jian heard someone ask him, are you from Hubei? He Jian replied, where did the man ask Hubei again? He Jian replied that it was Huang An's. The man said that he and He Jian were fellow countrymen.
The chief introduced himself next to him: "He is Comrade Dong Biwu. He Jian was very excited when he knew, he had heard of Dong Biwu very early, knew that he was the earliest party member in his hometown, admired him very much, and quickly saluted Dong Biwu with a military salute. Later, the chief introduced other leaders to He Jian, and He Jian saluted and greeted him one by one.

Mao Zedong beckoned He Jian to sit down and eat together, and He Jianhuan said: "This is not in line with military discipline, and we cannot listen to the leaders, so I can just wait outside." With that, he withdrew. After the meeting that day, He Jian returned with the chief, and He Jian also completed his task and returned to the troops.
In the training class, He Jian learned a lot of things with his hard work, from a reckless man who had no culture and only knew how to rush forward desperately, to a qualified soldier with courage and strategy, there are too many such stories.
In the Battle of East-West Xianghuo ridge, He Jian, as a squad leader, suggested to the company commander to attack the enemy's artillery position, take a squad around the enemy's back, detonate the enemy's shells with grenades, blow up the enemy's cannons, successfully eliminate the enemy, and get the battle smooth. It was precisely because He Jian had courage and strategy that he was able to catch the enemy off guard.
When the Red Army crossed the meadow, He Jian saw that there was a shortage of food and many people were hungry every day, so he kept thinking about whether he could replace it with something else. Finally, He Jian thought that there were a lot of unwanted cow bones and sheep bones in the local area.
He Jian thought that the bones could not be eaten directly, but they could be mashed and eaten. Therefore, He Jian crushed the bones into a powder, and then mixed them with barley and salt and dried them as dry food. It is precisely because of this method that many people's lives have been saved when crossing the meadow.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, He Jian was transferred to the regimental commander and led the army to re-sweep the enemy army on the mountain, killing more than 100 Japanese puppet troops, capturing more than 40 puppet troops, and capturing more than 70 guns.

In the Battle of Tancheng, He Jian's task at that time was to lead his troops to contain the Japanese army outside the village and block their reinforcement of Tancheng. However, at that time, the Japanese army had more than 900 people, and also carried various artillery, heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons, while He Jian's troops were only more than 100 people, but He Jian did not panic, but swung a "fog array" to confuse the enemy.
During the day, He Jian pretended to attack the enemy, and the soldiers planted red flags everywhere outside the village, blowing the charge horn, creating the appearance of many people. At night, the troops continued to harass the enemy, constantly firing at the enemy, dropping grenades, and making the enemy frightened, never knowing how many people the Red Army really had, and did not dare to act rashly. Until the end of the Battle of Tancheng, the enemy troops who came to reinforce did not launch an attack on He Jian's army, and did not dare to step into the village. In the end, He Jian successfully pinned down the enemy army, helped the battle to victory, and completed his mission.
Even in the rear, tancheng's defenders were already terrified of He Jian's prestige, and finally abandoned the city and fled. After He Jian's troops won without a fight, He Jian's prestige was greatly enhanced, and the enemy troops were afraid to hear his name. Therefore, He Jian was always assigned to fight the most difficult battles, but with He Jian's courage and strategy, he led his troops to countless victories in the war.

Whether it was the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, General He Jian made outstanding contributions to the Chinese revolution. His life was a life of revolution and a life of fighting!
