In our army, there are the famous "Three Yangs" and "Three Chens". But many people don't know that in fact, there is another "three beams" in our army who are not as famous as theirs.
Who are the "Three Beams"? What is the relationship between them? Why is "Three Girders" not as famous as the first two?
A spark can start a prairie fire
After going through the difficulties of the early days of the uprising, our party gradually found a path of its own. After Chairman Mao led the Red Army to Jinggang Mountain, the uprising teams from all over the country advanced towards Jinggang Mountain.
Jinggangshan is located in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, which also makes Ji'an's revolutionary atmosphere stronger. Under the influence of the revolutionary atmosphere, the local children also longed to join the army.
Because of the arrival of the Red Army, the life of ordinary people in the local area was much better. However, although there is no oppression from the landlords, everyone is still different after all.
There are rich and poor people in the village, and there will inevitably be contradictions. However, compared to class contradictions, these contradictions are negligible.
Liang Xingchu was born in a small village in Ji'an, and his family was a well-known local family. If there are more people in the family, the cost will naturally be larger.
The Liang family is an ordinary peasant family, and it is still difficult to raise so many children. Liang Xingchu went to private school for a period of time when he was a child, but later he didn't study because his family was too poor.
In the countryside at that time, half a teenager was already half a laborer in the family. After Liang Xingchu stopped going to school, he farmed at home with his parents.
But farming can't even guarantee the food and clothing of the family, and Liang Xingchu wants to learn the same skill. At that time, there was a blacksmith shop in their village, and Liang Xingchu's family sent him to the blacksmith shop as an apprentice.
In those days, being an apprentice was hard. Saying that he is an apprentice is actually just a small job that does not require money. However, ironwork is more tiring than other industries, so Liang Xingchu has a salary.
But this salary is also the salary after Liang Xingchu officially started striking iron. According to what was said at the beginning, Liang Xingchu was given thirty pieces of ocean.
In the blacksmith shop, Liang Xingchu worked for more than three years. I couldn't learn anything in the first two years, so Liang Xingchu helped pull the bellows and light the fire.
Two years later, the master was finally willing to let Liang Xingchu learn how to strike iron next to him. Liang Xingchu learned very quickly and was able to help early.
According to Liang Xingchu's plan, he will also open a blacksmith shop in the future and make money with his own craft. However, the owner of Liang Xingchu's blacksmith shop, seeing Liang Xingchu's good iron-making skills, wanted him to stay in his shop.
After Liang Xingchu refused, the boss actually withheld Liang Xingchu's salary and refused to pay Liang Xingchu's salary of thirty yuan.
Not only that, but the boss didn't let Liang Xingchu continue to do it after four years, and drove him away. After driving him away, the boss also asked people to spread the news, saying that Liang Xingchu was not good at studying and was driven away because his skills were not up to standard.
Liang Xingchu never thought that the boss would do such a great job. There is no hope of opening a blacksmith shop, and no one will find an apprentice who has no ability and has been driven away by the master to strike iron.
After returning home, Liang Xingchu was not decadent, he heard about the reputation of the Red Army, and thought about joining the army. Liang Xingchu thought that as long as he joined the army, no one would dare to bully their family.
Before Liang Xingchu joined the army, he thought of his nephew Liang Biye. Liang Biye went to school more, and Liang Xingchu wanted him to help him as a staff officer, whether it would work to join the army.
But what Liang Xingchu didn't know was that his nephew Liang Biye also participated in the revolution. Hearing that Liang Xingchu wanted to join the army, Liang Biye was naturally very happy.
Liang Biye carefully talked to Liang Xingchu about the Red Army, and was very supportive of his decision to join the army. With the support of his nephew, Liang Xingchu joined our army.
Different paths lead to the same end
Although Liang Xingchu and Liang Biye both participated in the revolution, the two did not choose the same path. Because of his knowledge and culture, Liang Biye spends most of his time engaged in political work.
In the two years that Liang Xingchu struck iron, he exercised an iron will, and naturally he wanted to go to the battlefield.
Although Liang Xingchu and Liang Biye are uncles and nephews, they are only less than four years apart. In the days when the girl was married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, the difference between the first child and the last child may be more than a decade.
However, although Liang Xingchu is about the same age as Liang Biye, he is at least only one generation older than Liang Biye. In the families of Liang Xingchu and Liang Biye, there was another person who also joined the army.
That person's name is Liang Renjiao, and according to the generation, Liang Renjiao should be of the same generation as Liang Xingchu's uncle and Liang Biye's grandfather.
However, although Liang Renjiao is older, he is as old as Liang Xingchu. Although they are three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in terms of generation, Liang Renjiao has a distant relationship with Liang Xingchu and Liang Biye's family.
So at the beginning, Liang Renjiao didn't know that his two juniors had joined the army. When he proposed the idea of joining the army, his family found out that the two had joined the army.
Knowing that the juniors had all gone to join the army, Liang Renjiao's heart to join the army was even more determined. He is an elder, and he should have set an example for juniors.
But now, not only did he fail to set an example for the juniors, but he was also left behind by the juniors. Liang Renjiao followed up and joined the army and began to work in the propaganda team.
Liang Xingchu was on the battlefield, Liang Biye served as the secretary of the Youth League, and Liang Renjiao was in charge of propaganda. It can be seen that although the three of them are revolutionaries, they are scattered in different fields.
In the chaotic war years, even if the three of them were a family, they had to obey the organization. Later, Lao Jiang began to encircle and suppress the base area, and Liang Biye and Liang Renjiao both returned to work in the army.
It's just that unlike Liang Xingchu, both of them do political work. And Liang Xingchu has been carrying a gun to the battlefield since he joined the army.
Maybe Liang Xingchu once struck iron, he is like an iron man. In the battle to capture Zhang Huizan alive, although Liang Xingchu was wounded, he was still shooting like a nobody.
It was only after the battle was over that Liang Xingchu was forcibly pulled off the battlefield by medical personnel. Because of his excellent performance in this battle, Liang Xingchu became a platoon commander.
In the face of the enemy's menacing encirclement and suppression, Liang Xingchu led his soldiers to rush and kill. Led by him again and again, the soldiers held their positions.
During this period, Liang Xingchu did the most famous thing, which was to change into the clothes of the Kuomintang regiment commander, and take a company to capture a regiment of the enemy without firing a single shot.
At that time, when our army was on the Long March, Liang Xingchu received the task of reconnoitring the enemy's situation and raising grain, grass and materials. When he was leaving, Chairman Mao stopped him.
Chairman Mao gave Liang Xingchu a special task and asked Liang Xingchu to find him some spiritual food. The spiritual food that Chairman Mao mentioned was the newspapers and magazines of the Kuomintang.
However, the Kuomintang is guarding against our party, and our party cannot get these things at all. Only then did Liang Xingchu think of pretending to be the Kuomintang and going directly to get the newspaper.
Originally, Liang Xingchu was still afraid of being discovered. Who knows this small place, no one knows what the head of the Kuomintang looks like at all. Liang Xingchu successfully obtained newspapers and magazines, and also confiscated a gun from a security regiment.
Do your best for the country and the people
Liang Xingchu, who fought on the battlefield, sometimes thought of his relatives. It's just that the three of them are in different places, and Liang Xingchu has never had the opportunity to meet his relatives.
After the arduous Long March, soon after the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Liang Xingchu was about to go to the battlefield of resistance against Japan. On the battlefield of resistance against Japan, Liang Xingchu was known as a person who "fought with iron".
Liang Xingchu made countless exploits on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, which also made him grow up rapidly. After the surrender of the Japanese army, Liang Xingchu was ordered to lead the first division to advance to the northeast.
At that time, Liang Biye happened to be the political commissar of the first division. The uncle and nephew have not seen each other for several years, and when they see each other again, it is time to fight side by side.
Being able to partner with Liang Biye is something that Liang Xingchu didn't expect. Years have passed, and the two have long since faded into youth and grown into a real soldier.
After a brief greeting, the two quickly got to work. The first time the uncle and nephew joined forces, they annihilated five battalions of the enemy.
Under the leadership of Liang Xingchu, Liang Biye fought many victories with him. Later, Liang Xingchu was transferred to the Sixth Column, and the uncle and nephew were separated.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liang Biye served as the political commissar of the 38th Army. Later, Liang Xingchu served as the commander of the 38th Army, and Liang Biye served as the head of the Political Organization Department of the 13th Corps.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, the 38th Army received combat missions and was ready to fight abroad at any time. At that time, Liang Biye had already been transferred, but he was still very concerned about the 38th Army.
The first battle of the 38th Army in Korea was not fought well, and Liang Biye was very anxious at home. He couldn't wait to fly to the Korean battlefield and do ideological work for the 38th Army.
Especially when I heard that Liang Xingchu was scolded by Mr. Peng, and was almost "beheaded" by Ma Yan, Liang Biye couldn't eat or sleep.
Later, the 38th Army won the battle and completely washed away the shame on its body in Sansho. But after hearing about the casualties of the 38th Army, Liang Biye was very distressed.
The predecessor of the 38th Army was the Four Fields and One Column, and Liang Biye had been in the army longer than Liang Xingchu, so he naturally had a deep affection for the 38th Army.
Later, the 38th Army won the name of the Long Live Army, and Liang Biye was also happy for them.
After Liang Renjiao joined the army, he only stayed in the Central Red Army for a short period of time, and then he was sent to the Red Fourth Front Army. Therefore, he basically never met Liang Xingchu and Liang Biye.
After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Liang Biye and Liang Xingchu were in the 115th Division, and Liang Renjiao was in the 120th Division. During the Liberation War, Liang Renjiao was first in the northwest of Shanxi, and later went to Xiye.
Although all three of them participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the three participated at different times and never met each other.
Liang Xingchu went to North Korea in 1950, and Liang Renjiao went in 1953. As for Liang Biye, he went to North Korea to take charge of the return of the volunteers before the return of the volunteers in 1957.
When the title was conferred in 55, Liang Xingchu and Liang Biye were awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and Liang Renjiao was awarded the rank of major general. Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are the same founding generals, which is the only case in our army.
