The relationship between Chen Xilian and Yang Yong did not form overnight, and the two walked through the difficult road of resistance together and became friends born into death. After the founding of New China, Chen Xilian was appointed vice premier of the State Council, and Yang Yong also became the commander of the Xinjiang Military Region.
Although there is a gap in the status of Chen Xilian and Yang Yong, the two will often joke. For this reason, Yang Yong's wife told her husband to pay attention to the attitude when talking and not to joke with each other again, but Yang Yong did not pay attention to it, and the feelings of the two were still the same as before.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" >, from peasant to founding general</h1>
In 1915, a boy was born in a family in Huang'an, Hubei Province, and his parents named him Chen Xilian. Chen Xilian's childhood was undoubtedly unfortunate, when he was born, his father's health was already deteriorating. The conditions at home are really difficult, and even eating is a problem, let alone seeing a doctor and buying medicine. In this way, Chen Xilian's father died early because he did not receive effective treatment.
The death of his father made the Already poor Chen family unable to even open the pot. As he grew older, Chen Xilian began to work in the homes of local landlords and squires in exchange for money and food. The days of part-time work have also become painful times that Chen Xilian does not want to recall, because of various reasons such as too young age and low status, Chen Xilian will often be insulted, and sometimes even ushered in a severe beating.
The hardships of life did not crush Chen Xilian's fighting spirit, and at the age of 14, Chen Xilian resolutely chose to go to the front line to join the revolution. At this time, Chen Xilian was only a half-sized doll, and he who had not eaten enough for many years looked particularly thin and small, as if a gust of wind could blow down.
The cruelty and intensity of the war far exceeded Chen Xilian's imagination, and he was afraid that he did not dare to make a move and stayed where he was stupid. Chen Xilian's actions made the veteran Sun Yuqing see in his eyes, as Chen Xilian's squad leader, Sun Yuqing knew that this was the first battle that the other side participated in, and it was inevitable to be afraid.
Sun Yuqing encouraged Chen Xilian not to be afraid, and if he did not know how to do it, he would learn his own movements. Looking at the brave squad leader in front of him, Chen Xilian's heart was greatly touched. He took up his weapon and shouted his cheers as he charged at the enemy.
After this war, Chen Xilian began to grow rapidly, and in ordinary days, he would ask the squad leader for advice on killing the enemy, and then practice the killing technique. In the subsequent wars, Chen Xilian served as the vanguard many times, and the battalion commander Gao Hanchu even praised him as a "small steel cannon" and praised his bravery and courage in battle.
In addition to the time for combat practice, Chen Xilian was also working hard to learn cultural knowledge. Because he grew up in a poor family and could not read, Chen Xilian especially cherished the opportunity to learn, and he would always be ashamed to ask questions when he encountered words he did not understand. At the same time, he will also carry a notebook with him, and when he encounters learning experience, he will record it with his pen for future study.
Chen Xilian, who was "complete in both culture and martial arts," seemed to have opened up his fighting career and won several wars in succession. Chen Xilian also opened the road to promotion from an ordinary soldier, realizing the transformation from squad leader to regiment commander to division commander and commander. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Xilian was awarded the rank of general because of his excellent performance and heavy military achievements.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="47" >2, "Shenwei General" Yang Yong</h1>
Yang Yong is two years older than Chen Xilian, and coincidentally, both joined the revolution when they were 14 years old, and their hometowns are also very close. Chen Xilian was born in Hubei, and Yang Yong was born in Hunan, a veritable brother province.
Yang Yong is a veteran general who has experienced hundreds of battles, and one of the famous generals of the "Three Yang Kaitai" in military history is Yang Yong. Yang Yong's first impression of this person is serious, and not being angry and arrogant is the best description of him. Many people will find Yang Yong difficult to get along with when they first see him, but over time they will find that he is actually a person who is very easy to talk to. However, in the matter of the imperial family, Yang Yong was extremely severe.
During the Long March, Yang Yong's subordinates came down to a residential house, and the soldiers opened the door after knocking on the door and shouting fruitlessly. At this moment, the people were already hungry, and when they saw that there was rice in the house, they took the food and cooked it privately. Yang Yong was very angry when he learned about it, and immediately severely criticized and educated the crowd.
Although Yang Yong was not at fault for taking rice, he still felt deep self-blame and blamed himself for not restraining his subordinates. For this reason, Yang Yong personally went to the door to apologize, left a note to write down the ins and outs of the matter, and put down the money, indicating that he would return to apologize in the future. Although this matter seems to be a trivial matter in the eyes of outsiders, in Yang Yong's view, it is a crooked atmosphere and must not be encouraged.
Soon after the founding of New China, Yang Yong went to Korea to participate in the war with the United States, captured the deputy commander of the Capital Division of the South Korean General, and made an important contribution to the victory of this war. Again and again to charge the battlefield, again and again to see death as a homecoming, Yang Yong also has the title of "Shenwei General".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" >3. Revolutionary Friendship The years have endured</h1>
At the end of the eight-year arduous War of Resistance, the battle with the Kuomintang was ushered in, and this "civil war" made Chen Xilian and Yang Yong meet again. As early as the merger of Liu Deng's army, Chen Yang and Chen Yang had already had many contacts and cooperation. When the two friends met, they were also commanders, and naturally there was no end to the topic. After the war, the two men also became good brothers in the tribulations.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Xilian and Yang Yong served as commanders of the military regions in Shenyang and Beijing, respectively. However, due to changes in the situation, Yang Yong was dismissed from his post. Yang Yong, who was reused again, was assigned to the Shenyang Military Region as deputy commander, and when he learned that Yang Yong was going to Shenyang, Chen Xilian could be said to be very happy and personally went to meet this good friend.
Although Chen Xilian and Yang Yong are superiors and subordinates, the two have not been estranged. Chen Xilian respects Yang Yong very much, and many things at work will be decided after consulting with the other party. In life, the two families will often visit the door, and the relationship can be described as very harmonious.
Years later, Yang Yong was transferred to the Xinjiang Military Region, and Chen Xilian also left Shenyang for Beijing. Later, Chen Xilian became vice premier. Although it is difficult for the two to see each other for thousands of miles apart, it does not affect the feelings of the two in the slightest. Perhaps the two really have too deep a fate, and the candidates sent by the central government to visit Xinjiang selected Chen Xilian.
The news that Chen Xilian wants to visit Xinjiang makes Yang Yong very excited, and Yang Yong, as the host, naturally wants to have a warm hospitality. Yang Yong's wife knew the relationship between her husband and Chen Xilian, and she was worried that Yang Yong still didn't pay attention to his speech as before, so she said: "Now that Old Chen is the vice premier, you can't joke with him, you should pay attention to talking."
Yang Yong did not take his wife's words to heart, because he knew that Chen Xilian was a human being and would not affect the relationship between the two because of the change in status. After Chen Xilian and Yang Yong met, the two sides could not help but sigh, telling each other about the changes in recent years and recalling the past of that year.
