Editor's note: Romantic as a poet, but as tough as steel, the blood-colored romance on the red hot soil is vividly expressed in the first poem, which is either generous or tragic. Hunan, the main birthplace and source of the Chinese revolution, the surging revolutionary wave, the arduous revolutionary struggle, the brilliant revolutionary figures, and countless moving stories, make this red hot land have inexhaustible motivation. On the occasion of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the red net takes you to feel the red mountains and rivers refined from blood and fire from those poems that are beautiful or miserable but have never given up their faith and ideals.
Red Net Moment reporter Chen Minying, Ren Ye, Zhang Meng, Zhuzhou reported
What do you mean by sixty vicissitudes? Sigh Chenzhou raised darts.
The dust left small marks, and the dripping water went far away to the big rivers.
Step on the Guanshan Wind and Fire Road, chant into a horizontal knife and sing immediately.
If you ask the hero who comes from the road, the nameless is more famous than the famous!
In January 1988, the 60th anniversary of the Shonan Uprising, General Yang Dezhi, a veteran and distinguished general, revisited the old site of BanziLou. Helping the past to pursue the present, he was full of emotions and wrote this poem "Tour of the Old Site of Joining the Army" with a stroke of his pen.
Former residence of Comrade Yang Dezhi.
A "Hanyang-made" changed a lifetime
On January 3, 1911, Yang Dezhi was born in a poor family in Liling County, Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province. He lost his mother at the age of 11, was forced to work for the landlord's family at the age of 14, and later became a coal miner.
The hardships and hardships of life have greatly tempered Yang Dezhi's hard-working character and laid a solid foundation for him to join the army and fight.
In 1928, Yang Dezhi, who had just turned 17, joined the army and joined the 7th Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army led by the Communist Party of China.
Due to the harsh conditions at that time, Yang Dezhi, who had always been looking forward to taking a gun to the revolution, only got a dart after joining the army.
"I don't want darts, I want 'Hanyang-made' (a rifle)." Yang Dezhi felt lost and threw the dart on the ground.
The squad leader was very angry after hearing this, and immediately gathered everyone together for Yang Dezhi to see for himself.
Yang Dezhi knew that no one in the whole class had a gun, and the weapons in his hand were either large knives or darts, and the squad leader said to Yang Dezhi, "'Hanyang Made', the enemy has a lot in his hands, if you really have the ability, you will grab it yourself." ”
Only then did Yang Dezhi learn that the revolution was not easy, and made his first vow after enlisting in the army: grab a "Hanyang-made" for himself!
When the battle started, Yang Dezhi was very excited, he really grabbed a gun for himself, but unfortunately it was not "Hanyang-made".
The seriously injured squad leader grabbed the "Hanyang Zao", and just when he was dying, the squad leader called Yang Dezhi to his side, and before he died, he gave Yang Dezhi the gun he had exchanged for his life.
Yang Dezhi took this gun and the high hopes of the squad leader and officially began his life as a horse.
Experience first-hand the wars of our army in almost all periods
From joining the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in 1928 to directing the border self-defense counterattack operation in 1979, he personally experienced almost all the periods of warfare of our army, organized and commanded famous battles such as the forced crossing of the Dadu River, the Battle of Qingfengdian, and the Battle of Shangganling, and made immortal meritorious achievements.
In 1955, Yang Washi was awarded the rank of general. Yang Dezhi served as chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army for nearly 8 years, which is the longest chief of the general staff in the history of our army.
Statue of "Forced Crossing of the Dadu River".
In the whole process of the Long March, Yang Dezhi fought the most beautiful battle than the forced crossing of the Dadu River. This tough guy who does not recognize his life can turn decay into magic even in the desperate situation of timelessness, unfavorable earth, and human opposition, and rise up to fight back.
According to historical records, Shi Dakai, one of the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was killed at the Dadu River. In the Battle of Dadu River, Chiang Kai-shek once put down his bold words, saying: "In the past, there was the Dadu River as a natural danger, and then there was the Jinsha River as a dead end, and our hundreds of thousands of troops attacked and attacked with all their might, which was bound to make the entire Red Army destroyed and become the second Shi Dakai." ”
Facing Chiang Kai-shek's troops head-on was the Red Regiment, an advance force led by Yang Dezhi.
In the dark of night, the Dadu River has a depth of 30 or 40 meters, a water surface width of more than 300 meters, and the water flow is rapid. Yang Dezhi was in a hurry and sent people to change the only bamboo raft left behind when crossing the WuJiang River into a boat that could carry 9 people, each equipped with a large knife, a pistol, and several grenades, and divided into two groups to cross the river.
In the face of the enemy's onslaught, Yang Dezhi calmly and calmly commanded, covered with mortars, and did his best to drag the enemy's artillery fire and buy time for the two groups of river crossing teams.
Soon, the Red Regiment beat the Sichuan Army, which was known as the "Double Gun Soldier", to the point of leaving the scene, and the Red Regiment also successfully occupied the Dadu River crossing.
It was this crucial step that opened the way for the large Red Army troops behind. The names of the Eighteen Warriors of the Dadu River will always be recorded in the history of the Communist Party.
Liu Huaqing and Zhang Zhen, former vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission, once commented on Yang Dezhi: "Fighting bravely, daring to fight hard, vicious, and bitter battles, and living hard at critical moments, being able to stand up, going up, and taking down." ”
"If you ask the hero who comes from the road, the nameless is more famous than the famous"
On the long revolutionary journey, there are many heroes who have made brilliant achievements, but have not left their names. As a hero who has been praised by others, Yang Dezhi praises the unsung hero with poetry.
According to Yang Dezhi's subordinates, the general was humble and self-sustaining, and every time the staff was liquidating the results, he would resolutely change "I" to "we."
Even in his later years, when writing his memoirs, little was mentioned about his personal achievements, and more content was used by him to record the people, soldiers, the army...
It is precisely because there are countless ancestors like Yang Dezhi who do not care about personal gains and losses, do not fear difficulties and obstacles, and cherish the motherland and the people, that we have ushered in today's prosperous world.
Only by standing at a new starting point, starting a new journey, inheriting the fine traditions of our ancestors, facing difficulties, and closely linking our personal dreams with the destiny of the motherland can we realize the Chinese dream that belongs to us.
