The Ten Marshals made outstanding contributions to the creation of a new China, made outstanding military achievements, and in their long careers as soldiers, they experienced hundreds of battles, were born into death, commanded and led the troops to fight with the fierce enemy to the death, and shuttled through the rain of bullets and bullets.
Most of them have been injured, and according to authoritative reports from all sides, in addition to Zhu De and Peng Dehuai, the other eight marshals in the ten marshals have been wounded in the war, and some have been seriously injured.
Among the ten marshals, the most frequent injuries were Liu Bocheng, who had suffered nine injuries in his decades of military career, nine injuries in the left foot, the side of the left foot, the left leg, the left hip, the top of the skull, the femoral artery of the right leg, the side of the right leg, the side of the right hand and the right eye.
In March 1916, in order to support the Yunnan Protectorate Army in the battle in southern Sichuan, the 24-year-old Liu Bocheng led the fourth detachment of the Sichuan Protectorate Army to capture Fengdu City, cut off the yangtze River traffic, and prevented Yuan's reinforcements to Sichuan on land and water. In this battle, Liu Bocheng was unfortunately shot twice, one of which passed through his right temple and flew his right eyeball.
When the German doctor operated on him, Liu Bocheng refused to use anesthetics for fear of damaging his brain, and he gritted his teeth and resisted more than 70 german doctors without moving, which shocked the German doctors and praised him as an iron man.
During a battle, the bullet hit the side of Marshal Liu Bocheng's right leg and was cut out by Liu Bocheng with his hand.
Marshal Liu Bocheng was also seriously injured several times, the injury to the femoral artery of his right leg almost killed him, and the injuries to his left arm and left leg affected his nerves, making Marshal Liu Bocheng unable to walk for a while.
Marshal Ye Jianying once felt it and wrote a poem praising Liu Bocheng, who was full of bullet marks and iron bones:
"Taihang guerrilla fee entanglement, holding up the Pingliao half of the wall sky." Bullet marks all over the body, Shou Jun sang triumphant songs.
Among the ten marshals, Lin Biao was the most unfortunately injured, because he was mistakenly injured by friendly forces, and this accidental injury also left Lin Biao's body with very serious sequelae.
In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang ushered in the second cooperation, and Lin Biao, then commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, commanded the troops to achieve the "Pingxingguan Victory" and led his troops into the Jinjun Defense Zone in the mountains of western Shanxi Province.
Before the 115th Division entered the Jin army's defense area, it had greeted the Jin army in advance, and the Jin army had already informed the squad sentry at that time, but the squad post had not yet had time to inform the company post. Lin Biao rode away from the line on a fast horse and walked to the front, he was mistaken for a Japanese officer by Wang Lusheng, a sentry of Yan Xishan, and was shot by him, and the bullet penetrated Lin Biao's body, causing him to be seriously injured.
For years, there was a claim that Lin Biao was mistakenly attacked by friendly sentries because he was considered a Japanese officer wearing a captured Japanese coat, but this claim was denied by General Hiroshi Tani, then the health minister of the 115th Division.
Gu Guangshan once pointed out in his memoirs that Lin Biao was wearing an ordinary Eighth Route Army cadre coat with gray cloth fabric and silk cotton.
He also recalled that the bullet was shot from Lin Biao's back, through the lungs, and after breaking a rib, it came out of the chest.
After Lin Biao was injured, Gu Guangshan found a half-inch-long rib in a pool of blood where Lin Biao was injured.
After Lin Biao was injured, he and Gu Guangshan had a discussion about the direction of the bullet, and Lin Biao once thought that the bullet came from the front and hit his chest. Gu Guangshan told him that the bullet was shooting into his body from his back, and Gu Guangshan said:
"The entrance of the penetrating wound is smaller than the exit, which is the rule, and the wound on your back is smaller than the wound on your chest."
Seeing that Lin Biao was a little incredulous, Gu Guangshan took out the ribs he had picked up from the scene and said to Lin Biao:
"If the bullet is shot in from the chest, the rib will fall into the internal organs, then it will be a major operation, fortunately it fell out of the body, indicating that the bullet was indeed shot in from the back."
Lin Biao was very surprised to see the bloody ribs in Gu Guangshan's hand, but he was still a little suspicious of Gu Guangshan's words. Gu Guangshan also said:
"Just look at the direction of the bullet-hole silk on your cotton coat."
Lin Biao took off the cotton coat he was wearing on his body and carefully examined the silk cotton of the bullet holes on his back, and found that it was indeed facing inward, and he believed that the bullet was shooting into his body from his back.
After Lin Biao was injured, the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao attached great importance to Lin Biao's injuries and assigned famous military doctors to treat Lin Biao. Under careful treatment, Lin Biao's injuries have been greatly improved, but because of the nerve injuries, whenever it rains on a cloudy day, Lin Biao's wounds are faintly painful.
A year later, Lin Biao's injuries worsened, and he was arranged by Chairman Mao to recuperate in Yan'an, and then to Moscow to receive treatment from Soviet doctors, but his injuries were still not completely cured, leaving behind a lifelong autonomic disorder, leaving behind fear of water, fear of wind, fear of light, sweating when nervous, and other sequelae.
Due to the lack of understanding of Marshal Ye Jianying's injury, some people say that Ye Jianying has not been injured, in fact, this statement is not accurate, on the Long March Road, Marshal Ye Jianying was injured.
In October 1934, Ye Jianying, who was the commander of the first column of the Central Military Commission, led his troops to break through the Xiang River, and when he was marching to the Western Yanshan Mountains on the border between Hunan and Guangxi, he was suddenly bombed by enemy aircraft, and Ye Jianying immediately ordered the troops to hide, and he himself hid behind a rock.
After circling the air for a few laps, the enemy plane flew lower and lower, and suddenly swooped down towards Ye Jianying's hidden place and dropped a bomb.
The bomb exploded not far from Ye Jianying's side, and he fell to the ground. Seeing this, the guards rushed over desperately and helped Ye Jianying up, Ye Jianying stood up and staggered forward a few steps before feeling that the place where his right leg was against his hip was very painful, he touched it with his hand, and his hand was full of blood.
Later, after examination by the doctor, a piece of shrapnel was found to have entered the muscle of his right leg. Due to the limited conditions at that time, the shrapnel could not be removed, and this piece of shrapnel remained in Marshal Ye Jianying's body forever.
Marshal Zhu De, who made great contributions to the people's army and the founding of new China, was plagued by diabetes in his later years, and when the nursing staff wiped the body of The bedridden Mr. Zhu, he was surprised to find that the veteran of the battlefield who had been fighting horses all his life had almost no scars on his body.
Marshal Jude was not wounded in the war, and in addition to good luck and good fortune, it was also related to many factors.
Zhu De was an expert in fighting guerrilla warfare; in the course of his protracted armed struggle, he and Mao Zedong and others jointly summed up the sixteen-character trick of "the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy garrisons us to disturb us, the enemy wears us out to fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue." In the course of protracted armed struggle, he used the guerrilla tactics of "secret, rapid, and fragmentation, attacking the east and the west, suddenly turning the south and the north, fighting if the war is won, and running if the fight is not won," so that the enemy cannot see or touch it, effectively strikes at the enemy, and ensures its own safety.
Zhu De's guerrilla tactics rely on the broad masses of the people, and Zhu De has always taken the initiative to integrate into the masses, in close contact with the military and the people, and mingled with the people. It is precisely because they are like relatives with the broad masses of the people that when they encounter the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, the masses rush to report the news and even cover his departure.
Mr. Zhu's loyal and simple appearance is also his best talisman, he took off his military uniform like an honest farmer, he went down the mountain with the soldiers to collect grain, and in Yan'an, he and the staff around him planted vegetables and collected dung. He always maintained this simple style, always cared about the well-being of the masses, and shared weal and woe with the people. Genser Stein, a journalist who visited Yan'an that year, wrote:
"General Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers love the sixty-year-old peasant like a father."
Zhu De was once surrounded by the Kuomintang reactionaries in the night, but his ordinary appearance and simple peasant temperament made the enemy mistakenly think that he was a brother-in-law, which allowed him to escape the disaster. During this encirclement, Judd's wife was arrested to cover him and later killed by the enemy.
The long-term accumulation of experience in struggle has made Zhu De's vigilance very high, his command very cautious, and his calm analysis of complex situations and intelligence has always enabled him to make correct judgments. He relied on the masses of the people, came from the masses, went to the masses, and looked back at the glorious life of President Zhu, and we have to sigh that his simple and unpretentious style temperament and relying on the masses are his best amulets, and this amulet is not something that anyone can have.
Marshal Peng Dehuai experienced the Second Revolutionary War, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation at home, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he rushed to Korea to command the Volunteer Army to fight against the US imperialists. He immediately fought a bloody battlefield with a horizontal knife, fought a hundred battles, and made great achievements. Marshal Peng Dehuai spent most of his life in the flames and smoke of war, but he was never injured, and countless vicious battles did not leave a trace on him, which was simply miraculous.
In fact, in his long-term career in horsefighting, Mr. Peng has been in danger several times. During the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, on the second day of entering the DPRK, Peng Dehuai and his entourage had a close encounter with a leading unit of South Korea; after sensing the danger, Peng Dehuai became unfazed, took advantage of the complicated terrain as a cover, and continued to Chinese advance northward.
Peng Dehuai encountered several enemy planes bombing on the Korean battlefield, and once, enemy planes hovered over the headquarters, and when the air raid siren sounded, Mr. Peng was completely unaware; he was wearing a coat and reading documents in candlelight; several soldiers in the guard platoon dragged Mr. Peng into the air raid shelter with a belt.
Peng Dehuai always turned danger into disaster, and the guards were indispensable. But it has to be said that Marshal Peng Dehuai has been unharmed in decades of conquest on the battlefield, and his luck is very good, which can be called a lucky general.
In fact, there are countless people who have paid the price of life and blood for the country and the people, and the ten marshals are only more representative.
According to statistics, the vast majority of more than 1,600 founding generals have been injured. But they were lucky compared to the martyrs who fell on the road to victory. According to statistics: From the August 1st Nanchang Uprising in 1927 to the founding of New China, more than 3,000 commanders at or above the regimental level of our people's army have died, and countless people have been wounded.
It is the arduous struggle, succession and sacrifice of countless heroes and martyrs that have brought about the birth of new China, the vicissitudes of the past seventy years, and to today's happy life, let us remember them!
