"The boy wants to repay the favor of the country, and dying on the battlefield is a good end!" As a member of the sons and daughters of China, whether in hardships and hardships or in a prosperous life, we should put the country first, because that is the ultimate belonging of our souls.
Regarding serving the motherland and working together to build a new China, regardless of the origin of the people, regardless of the source of the masses, as long as you have a red heart toward the country, the masses will accept you.
Yang Hanlie, the son of the great warlord Yang Sen, even though he was from a prominent background, still took the initiative to go deep into the grassroots, and like ordinary fighters, with extraordinary courage, he participated in anti-Japanese activities, and in the course of two dangerous confrontations with the enemy, he resisted with all his strength and successfully repelled the Japanese Kou.
The superior birth of the prince of the Republic of China
Yang Sen is a famous general of the Sichuan Army, once a general, as one of the five elements of the Sichuan Army, his life is quite legendary, through the Xinhai Revolution, the Patriotic War, warlord melee, War of Resistance and other important historical periods.
In order to maximize the interests of his individuals and the army, he repeatedly oscillated between various classes, both in his just moves against Yuan Shikai and to protect the CCP leaders, as well as in sabotage of the revolution and his erroneous actions of following Chiang Kai-shek.
Among the many warlords of the Republic of China, his most famous deeds are probably the hordes of wives and concubines, many children, only he opened up to twelve spouses, even forty-three children, such a ridiculous and deformed feudal marriage situation, and Yang Sen's lifelong pursuit of new schools and foreign atmosphere is very contrary to the eyes of many people.
Yang Sen was the last general to die among the Warlords of Sichuan in the Republic of China, and was also one of the helmsmen of the Pao Brotherhood of the Underground Organization of the People's Republic of China.
Born in the grass and a soldier, Yang Sen has a unified militarized management of his wife and children, and he sets strict family rules, making it difficult for his family to have a common language with him. His eldest son, Yang Hanxing, came into contact with progressive ideas while studying and became acquainted with Li Dazhao at Nankai University.
Yang Hanxing and Yang Sen's concept is not in line, about the future of his son, the father and son have a fierce discussion, Yang Sen hopes that the eldest son can use his own power, take the shortcut of promotion to the official and get rich, and then smoothly inherit his mantle, But Yang Hanxing insists on his own truth, pursues communism, but advises his father to pay attention not to be an enemy of the people.
In order to maintain his position, Yang Sen severed the father-son relationship with Yang Hanxing in order to express his sincerity to the Nationalist government.
This family war caused a great shock throughout the Yang family, and the authority of the patriarchs who had previously said that they were indispensable was provoked, and since then, Yang Sen's majesty has not been as good as before, especially in the heart of his second son Yang Hanlie, and his actions have caused great shocks.
Since the eldest son disobeyed discipline, Yang Sen had to change an heir, and the second son, Yang Hanlie, was a priority choice in his mind, and he took Yang Hanlie with him and focused on cultivation.
The son inherits his father's business, it can be said that it is an important certificate left over from the feudal dynasty, all warlords will arrange a fixed life path for their descendants, they have a very high starting point, born to be the proud son of heaven, for example, Ma Bufang's son Ma Jiyuan has never entered the army, just under the arrangement of his father, he got a colonel's chief of staff, and when he graduated from the military academy, he was already a major general, and the military department was not surprised by this.
But Yang Sen is one of the very few people who can raise his son from the grassroots level, and he believes that if he wants to take over the Yang family's troops, he must practice on the battlefield and prove to the world that he has enough strength. Yang Hanlie started as a small lieutenant and grew step by step into a general who stood tall in the sky.
Grassroots general of "Curve Saves the Nation"
In fact, due to the influence of his eldest brother, Yang Hanlie's purpose in joining the army can be said to be the same as Yang Hanxing's, but it is said that he repelled the enemy and saved the country and the people. But Yang Hanxing acted fiercely and walked on the opposite side of his father, yang Hanxing was good at using existing resources and using his own strength to resist the enemy.
In 1933, Yang Hanlie, who was still studying in Middle School in Beiping, faced the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the outbreak of the Great Wall War of Resistance aroused the enthusiasm of this young man to save the fruits of the War of Resistance, and joining the army was the most direct way. However, Yang Hanlie was only fourteen years old, and he was still a long way from the age of conscription, so he joined the condolence group organized by the teacher and did morale-boosting activities in the back line of the War of Resistance.
However, after the Great Wall War of Resistance, the state signed the "Tanggu Agreement" that humiliated the country, which made Yang Hanlie no longer able to sit still, and in 1935, Yang Hanlie returned to Sichuan alone, let his father go through a back door, and let him arrange a position for himself in the army.
After falling out with his eldest son, Yang Sen was suddenly invited by the second son to take the initiative, and his heart was particularly happy, but he warned Yang Hanlie that there was no child in the army, he treated everyone equally, and Yang Hanlie must start from the basics.
Yang Hanlie easily agreed to this request without much thought, and Yang Sen inserted him into the staff office of the 133rd Division headquarters and became a probationary staff officer. In 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full swing, Yang Hanlie entered the battlefield of the Battle of Songhu with the army, but due to his status as a staff officer, he was always unable to fight with the front line of killing the enemy, and he had been promoted to captain staff officer with outstanding performance.
Such a Yang Hanlie felt that he had the courage to ask his father to go to the front, but he was rejected every time. In Yang Sen's view, Yang Hanlie had never received education from a regular military school, and he also lacked actual combat experience, and a young boy with a head of leather went to the battlefield, but it was just to send a head to the Japanese Kou.
In 1938, he was successfully admitted to the Central Military Academy and became a cadet of the cavalry team, and after two years he returned from his studies, achieved affirmation in front of his father, and had the qualification to enter the front line of the 20th Army.
Yang Hanlie took the initiative to join the search company, not only to take on reconnaissance tasks in wartime, but also to go deep into the enemy's special zone in peacetime to collect effective intelligence, which can be regarded as one of the highest death rates in war.
But Yang Hanlie was careful and bold, and he did a very good job, and the soldiers were very supportive of him, and his superiors naturally promoted him to the captain of the cavalry company and was responsible for defending the military headquarters.
The two clashes were a great victory for the enemy forces
In the Third Battle of Changsha, the flank of the 20th Army resting at Yingzhu Mountain was attacked by a Japanese army of more than 400 people, and at that time, the large field troops were sent out to support other battlefields, and only the cavalry company to which Yang Hanlie belonged still had actionable forces.
If they were conquered by the enemy here, the operational arrangements of the whole army would be disrupted, and the possible consequences would be unimaginable, almost the whole army was destroyed, and when the eyebrows were burned, Yang Hanlie chose to take the initiative to attack, walking in the forefront of the officers and men, and heroically launched a charge against the Japanese army with more than one hundred and forty comrades-in-arms, hitting them by surprise.
With the support of the 1st Battalion of the 134th Division and the Special Agent Company, the enemy flank was attacked. Yang Hanlie fang all used the low walls of the trench as a barrier, when there was ammunition, he attacked grenades and grenade launchers, and without hot weapons, he began to compete with cold weapons, and the short soldiers were staggered with artillery fire.
The good villains destroyed the enemy's heavy machine guns, and the enemy who lost the main firepower was no longer their opponent, and the light machine guns and submachine guns supported by Yang Hanlie's side exerted great strength, and the war fires have been burning from morning to night.
After the enemy army was completely annihilated, Yang Hanlie felt that his body had been injured several times, his body was shaky, this sudden war was really dangerous, if the support came a few minutes late, he would have to take a step first. When counting his exploits after the war, Yang Hanlie was promoted to the staff officer of the major of the 27th Group Army because of his outstanding performance, and was transferred to the commander of the special service battalion lieutenant colonel.
In September 1944, Yang Hanlie engaged the enemy for the second time. At that time, the enemy army organized a brave and fierce offensive Operation No. 1, and the Nationalist army suffered setbacks in Henan and Hunan one after another, repeatedly defeated, and the enemy army saw the loopholes in the army and advanced all the way to the Guangxi region.
At that time, Yang Hanlie just led the team to reinforce the Guangxi army with the headquarters of the group army, and fought with friendly troops to resist the enemy together, even though he knew that when the army marched to Tianhe, it collided with the enemy army.
At this time, Yang Hanlie was already a veteran on the battlefield, and his long military career had tempered his calm and calm character and excellent combat command ability. As soon as he spotted the enemy, he ordered the special battalion to hide in place, and the 1st Company quickly dispersed to occupy the defensive position to meet the requirements of being able to block the Japanese frontally, while the machine gun company encircled from the flanks, giving priority to obtaining the high ground and covering the roundabout attack of the 2nd Company with strong firepower.
Under such complete prevention and control, the enemy army was suppressed to the point of not being able to raise its head, and the situation on both sides changed dramatically, and the entire group of enemy troops was eventually severely damaged and almost all were encircled and suppressed. After this battle, Yang Hanlie was promoted again and served as the colonel of the 398th Regiment of the 133rd Division.
After hearing about his son's various dangerous deeds, Yang Sen was cruel and did not want to see white-haired people send black-haired people. Soon a transfer order was issued for Yang Hanlie to go to Guizhou to take up the post of commander of the security forces. Although Yang Hanlie was particularly sorry in his heart, he stayed in the army for a long time, understood that obedience was the natural duty of soldiers, or obeyed the arrangement.
In Guizhou, he avoided the Liberation War until April 1949, when Yang Sen handed him the post of commander, and Yang Hanlie, who had accepted progressive ideas, knew that communism was already the general trend of the times, and in order to protect his family, he should go with the trend and accept zhao'an.
In December, Yang Hanlie surrendered to the People's Liberation Army, cooperated with the People's Liberation Army to persuade the remaining warlords, and made no small contribution to the liberation of the Sichuan-Chongqing region. A few years later, Yang Hanlie transferred from the military to become the director of the Gansu Provincial People's Committee and the vice president of the Huangpu Military Academy Alumni Association.
As a descendant of a warlord, Yang Hanlie's life path is really very different from others, not only going down to the grass-roots level, personally going to battle to kill the enemy, facing the Japanese Kou twice, but also making the right choice after liberation, not going against the trend, making senseless resistance.
All this is inseparable from his education and the family in which he lives, and the country needs people like him who can see the situation clearly and contribute to the construction of the times.
