In 1940, when Chairman Mao was eating in the canteen, he was suddenly attacked, and at the last moment, a personal guard stepped forward, and this guard was Jiang Zemin. In order to block the attack for Chairman Mao, he almost lost his life. Chairman Mao always remembered this loyal guard, and even called Jiang Zemin his savior. How will this legendary defender be treated if he lives until 2012? What was it like when he risked his life to protect Chairman Mao? Pay attention to it, let's reveal the story of Jiang Zemin sacrificing his life to protect Chairman Mao.
It was 1940, although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party formed a united anti-Japanese front, but Chiang Kai-shek's targeting of our party did not stop, such as the Kuomintang suddenly launched the Southern Anhui Incident, which made a large number of soldiers of the New Fourth Army sacrifice. The Kuomintang, which constantly persecuted our party comrades, also set its sights on Chairman Mao, and if it could leave our party leaderless, this would obviously be more conducive to Chiang Kai-shek's ambitions.
Under Chiang Kai-shek's covert scheme, Hu Zongnan's hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Yan'an under the pretext of confronting the Japanese army and blockaded the red land. He Shaonan, the anti-communist leader of the Suide Garrison District, organized a large number of special teams, named assassination squads, bomb squads, and sharp knife squads, and slipped into every county and town to lurk. This was a covert anti-communist upsurge, the red land was full of crises, and our party comrades would face assassination by the Kuomintang at any time.
Under Chairman Mao's wise decision, our army confronted the Japanese invaders while sabotaging the conspiracy of the Kuomintang and dismantling crisis after crisis. As the supreme leader of the party, Chairman Mao's safety must be guaranteed, so Zhu De carefully selected a group of guards to protect Chairman Mao's safety. Jiang Zemin was among them, he was originally in Chongqing to protect Premier Zhou, and was specially ordered to come to Chairman Mao's side and become a security staff officer.
Jiang Zemin always remembered what President Zhu said to him: "The chairman is the soul of the party, your work is the top priority, and you must not relax your vigilance no matter what the situation." Under Jiang Zemin's vigilance, He Shaonan's plan has never succeeded. Wang Zhen of our party put great pressure on him again, and repeatedly exposed his conspiracy, and as a last resort, He Shaonan could only announce his resignation, but he still did not give up, and even tried to infiltrate the border area with makeup himself. Therefore, Jiang Zemin, who was beside Chairman Mao, still could not relax.
Under the pressure of our party and society, the Kuomintang could only agree to Wang Zhen to serve as the administrative inspector of Suide, and the entire Suide area was qualitatively changed. Deputy Commissioner Suide, who came into contact with Wang Zhen, was very interested in our party, especially Chairman Mao, the leader of the party, who was even more yearning, so when passing through Yan'an, the deputy commissioner specially submitted an application to meet with the chairman.
Although the deputy commissioner was a member of the Kuomintang, Chairman Mao did not guard against him, but sincerely greeted the deputy commissioner and took the initiative to visit the deputy commissioner's residence, which deeply moved the deputy commissioner and gave him another point of identification with our party. After a period of discussion, the meal also arrived, Chairman Mao decided to go to the canteen with the deputy commissioner to eat, accompanied by Chen Boda and Ye Zilong, the two secretaries, and Jiang Zemin, the security staff officer.
On the way to the canteen, Chairman Mao and the deputy commissioner talked and laughed, but Jiang Zemin was extremely nervous, because he found a completely different situation from the door of the canteen. What happened here? How did Jiang Zemin discover the problem?
In 1940, Chairman Mao's guards sacrificed their lives to block the fatal blow for him, what happened at that time? How will he be treated in his later years?
Jiang Zemin, who was urgently transferred from Premier Zhou's side, served as a security staff officer by Chairman Mao's side and was responsible for Chairman Mao's safety, but he never expected that when Chairman Mao received the deputy commissioner of the Kuomintang, there would be a fatal accident. At that time, everyone was heading to the canteen, and Jiang Zemin keenly noticed that a large number of people had gathered at the door of the canteen, which was completely different from usual.
Jiang Zemin hurriedly went to inquire first, and found that someone had spread the news that Chairman Mao would come to dinner, and many people wanted to come to see Chairman Mao's glorious image. Seeing that these were the people nearby, Jiang Zemin's heart relaxed a little, but he was still worried that there would be spies hiding in the crowd. It is impossible to expel the masses, Chairman Mao will definitely not agree to isolate himself from the masses, Jiang Zemin can only cheer up and constantly observe the people around him.
With the appearance of Chairman Mao, there were bursts of cheers at the scene, and everyone rushed forward to shake hands with Chairman Mao, who did not disappoint any of the masses and responded to everyone cordially. It was only at this time that Jiang Zemin keenly discovered that there was one person who behaved differently. The man stood in the crowd, but did not applaud for joy, and on the surface he looked smiling, but his hands were behind his back and he was clutching a willow stick. Such behavior is very abnormal, Jiang Zemin puts most of his mind on this person, constantly observing his every move.
Chairman Mao slowly walked towards the door, and the position was getting closer and closer to the different person, Jiang Zemin's heart became more and more nervous, and his right hand unconsciously touched the pistol on his waist. But after thinking about it, there are so many people here, and shooting is likely to accidentally injure innocent people, Jiang Zemin quickly gave up the idea of pulling out a gun and decided to use his body to protect Chairman Mao when something went wrong.
The closer Chairman Mao got to the door of the canteen, the more people surrounded him, and Jiang Zemin followed Chairman Mao closely, and the space around him became less and less. At this time, the suspicious person moved, he dragged the thick willow stick to the ground, and slowly approached Chairman Mao with the crowd. A thought flashed in Jiang Zemin's heart, should you directly subdue him? can think of the oolong that appeared before, Jiang Zemin dispelled the idea of preemptive strike. There was a leading guard who saw that someone on the side of the road had a suspicious move to dig something, and controlled the passerby in advance, but he didn't expect that the person was pulling out an umbrella and made a big joke.
Jiang Zemin could only stare at the young man tightly, hoping to react quickly before he could make a move. The expressions of the two of them were visibly nervous, seeing that the deputy commissioner had already entered the canteen first, and Chairman Mao was still greeting the masses near the door, communicating with the masses, Jiang Zemin became more and more worried that there would be an accident.
The young man had already moved to the closest place to the door, and if he did it at the moment when Chairman Mao entered the door, it would be troublesome. Because the door of the canteen is not large, it cannot accommodate two people to enter at the same time, which means that Chairman Mao will be a one-faced assassin at that time. Jiang Zemin became more and more vigilant, and he couldn't help but pull out his gun to warn. At this moment, the young man with the willow stick suddenly moved, Jiang Zemin was shocked and flew up. What really happened then? Was Chairman Mao harmed?
In 1940, Chairman Mao's guards sacrificed their lives to block the fatal blow for him, what happened at that time? How will he be treated in his later years?
At the moment when Chairman Mao was about to enter the cafeteria, the young man waiting next to the door made a move, he dodged forward, suddenly raised the thick willow stick in his hand, and smashed it straight towards the back of Chairman Mao's head. This stick obviously poured all the strength of the young man, and the sound of breaking the wind was beaten out, in a vain attempt to take down Chairman Mao with one blow. Something went wrong, Jiang Zemin's previous prediction was really not wrong, this person just wanted to be unfavorable to Chairman Mao.
Jiang Zemin didn't have time to think about it, so he flew forward and blocked his right hand between Chairman Mao and the stick. said that it was too late and that was fast, from the time Chairman Mao was about to enter the door to the time Jiang Zemin pounced on him, there was only a short one or two seconds. There was a loud bang, and Jiang Zemin's right hand touched the willow stick, and at the same time, Jiang Zemin's left hand also pushed Chairman Mao forward, getting him out of danger.
This stick broke Jiang Zemin's right hand, and the sharp pain rushed to his brain, and he almost fainted. Jiang Zemin knew that he must not faint at this time, so he endured the pain and forced himself to wake up and rushed towards the assassin. At this moment, he still wanted to use the stick to make a move, but he didn't expect that the stick had been tightly grasped by Jiang Zemin's left hand, and his body also slammed into the assassin, pressing the assassin to the ground.
However, Jiang Zemin's right hand was seriously injured, how could he be an intact assassin opponent? Soon the Assassin gained the upper hand in the grappling and rolled over to crush Jiang Zemin under him. The surrounding crowd was frightened by this scene, and they all scattered, just giving space for the other guards to perform, and the guard squad leader Feng Yonggui pierced out of the crowd, and he kicked the assassin in the side with a quick eye. The assassin was kicked directly away by this powerful kick, and the severe pain caused the stick in his hand to escape, and the other guards rushed up to control the assassin.
The crisis was lifted, Jiang Zemin didn't care about his arm, got up and ran to the cafeteria to confirm Chairman Mao's situation. Seeing that Chairman Mao was fine, and was still comforting the frightened deputy commissioner of the Kuomintang, Jiang Zemin was relieved. At this time, the pain in his heart spread to his brain again, and Jiang Zemin remembered his hand and found that his right hand was no longer controllable, obviously fractured. He didn't dare to alarm Chairman Mao, and after greeting Chairman Mao, he quietly left the canteen to look for a military doctor.
Although Jiang Zemin wanted to hide his merit and fame, the fine sweat on his forehead had already betrayed him, and Chairman Mao had been observing Jiang Zemin and knew that if he blocked the stick for him, there must have been a serious injury. Therefore, Chairman Mao immediately ordered the staff to catch up and take care of Jiang Zemin, and there was an order to let the best military doctor treat him. After that, Chairman Mao and the deputy commissioner continued to chat, and as for the attack on him just now, Chairman Mao's state of mind did not seem to be affected in any way. The deputy commissioner of the Kuomintang on the side was very impressed, and he was already shocked by Chairman Mao's cordial interaction with the masses at the beginning, and the chairman had such a high status in the hearts of the people, and when he was attacked, Chairman Mao's unfazed handling and care for the soldiers also made the deputy commissioner extremely admired.
Jiang Zemin's arm was treated by military doctors, and there were no sequelae. Chairman Mao has always called Jiang Zemin a life-saving benefactor, with such a high evaluation, his subsequent experience was very smooth, responsible for the formation of our army's first tank unit, and then became the head of the automobile regiment, in the War of Resistance against Japan, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea have made great contributions. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jiang Zemin became deputy director of the Logistics Department and director of production of the Shenyang Military Region, and in 1978 he was transferred to the General Logistics Department as deputy director of the Vehicle and Ship Department.
