The story of this general can be described as heroic tears, 14 years of anti-Japanese war, he led the team in the northeast to fight with the Japanese army, their living conditions are extremely difficult, sometimes even wild vegetables and bark have become their rations. If General Yang Jingyu had not died heroically in battle, would he have been awarded the rank of marshal in 1955? Many people may want to know the answer to this question. Let's walk into the story of General Yang Jingyu and see how the life of this hero was written.
We have to start with Yang Jingyu's birth. In 1905, Yang Jingyu was born in an ordinary peasant family in Queshan County, Henan Province. When he was a child, like many village children, he grew up listening to various heroic stories, especially the heroes and heroes in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which were deeply implanted in his heart and gave him the dream of becoming a hero.
As he grew older, Yang Jingyu's patriotic feelings became stronger and stronger. In 1923, he was admitted to Henan Likaifeng Institute of Textile and Dyeing Industry, which greatly broadened his horizons. Here, he not only learned knowledge, but also came into contact with advanced ideas. By chance, Yang Jingyu learned about the existence of the Communist Party, which made him feel that he had found the direction of struggle.
Since then, the trajectory of Yang Jingyu's life has changed dramatically. In 1926, he joined the Communist Youth League and began his revolutionary career. In 1927, he returned to his hometown and led a peasant uprising, successfully expelling the local warlords and establishing a peasant regime. This experience allowed him to accumulate valuable experience in revolutionary actions.
The road to revolution has never been easy. Under the double pressure of domestic and foreign enemies, he faced all kinds of difficulties and challenges. In 1932, Yang Jingyu was sent to the northeast, where he was responsible for establishing and expanding the revolutionary base area. The Northeast, as an important stronghold of the Japanese Kwantung Army, is located on the front line, and the situation is particularly complicated. Here, Yang Jingyu not only has to fight the Japanese army, but also has to deal with the rejection of local warlords.
His way of working is very human and strategic. For example, he once infiltrated a mine run by the Japanese to experience the suffering of workers firsthand, and further understood and organized workers' strikes and protests. Although the initial success was not great, and he even almost lost his life, he never gave up. Through unremitting efforts, Yang Jingyu gradually established a solid revolutionary base in the northeast and developed a huge anti-Japanese army.
In 1936, under the leadership of Yang Jingyu, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army became a hard bone in the eyes of the Japanese army. They persevered in the war of resistance under extremely difficult conditions, showing remarkable resilience and courage. Digging wild vegetables, nibbling on tree bark, and even drinking snow water in the snow are all stories that sound shocking today.
In numerous encounters with the Japanese army, General Yang Jingyu demonstrated extraordinary military talent and superb tactical wisdom. He was good at using the terrain and guerrilla tactics, causing great distress and losses to the Japanese army. His name has become a feared presence in the Japanese army.
But heroes are flesh and blood after all. In 1940, in a fierce battle, Yang Jingyu died heroically at the age of 35. His sacrifice has made countless comrades-in-arms and ordinary people feel painful, but his spirit and will to fight continue to burn in people's hearts like a fire.
If history has ifs, then many people will be curious, if Yang Jingyu had not died in battle, would he have been awarded the rank of marshal in 1955? This question, although there is no answer, does not prevent us from respecting and remembering this hero. After all, in that turbulent era, heroes like Yang Jingyu dedicated their lives to the cause of the liberation of the country and the nation.
Speaking of which, we can't help but ask, is Yang Jingyu's life a heroic model in each of our hearts? In the difficult environment, he never gave up the struggle and struggle, is this spirit exactly what our society is missing? In the face of difficulties and challenges, can we also show Yang Jingyu's perseverance and courage?
General Yang Jingyu was not only an outstanding military leader, but also a hero who was deeply loved by the people. His story has inspired generations of people, whether it is fighting a strong enemy on the battlefield or holding on to his faith in the face of hardship, Yang Jingyu has shown extraordinary courage and determination. His life was short, but his spirit and impact were long-lasting. Today, looking back on the life of such a hero is not only a remembrance of him, but also an encouragement, so that each of us can shine in our own post and be worthy of this era.
