In the autumn of 1940, when the Anti-Japanese War was in the most intense and anxious manner, something very unpleasant happened in the revolutionary holy land of Yan'an .
That morning, a man knocked on Chairman Mao’s door and entered the house after approval.
"Chairman, they are unfair to me, you have to make the decision for me!"
After someone came in, he had not greeted the chairman, but the words he blurted out surprised Chairman Mao.
Then the chairman asked him what happened, and the answer from the visitor made Chairman Mao feel a little angry.
"Chairman, I have made so much contribution to the revolution, but they asked me to go to that small place to be the tax bureau chief. It is obviously unfair!"
Hearing the answer from the visitor, Chairman Mao told him earnestly that all work is a reasonable arrangement made by the organization according to personal abilities and actual situations. He hopes that he can understand the organization's good intentions and continue to contribute to the revolution in his position.
Xiao Yubi and Chairman Mao (stills)
After hearing Chairman Mao’s advice, the visitor was still unwilling to give in. He suddenly lifted up his clothes and then said: "Chairman, look at my scars, they are all left for the revolution. Can’t I be a high-ranking official with such great contributions?"
This question completely angered Chairman Mao.
Then the chairman slapped the table and said angrily: "You don't have to show it to me! I don't know how to count!"
This person saw that Chairman Mao, who had always been gentle, had a rare temper, and was immediately shocked, and then he could only leave in disappointment.
So, who is this person? Why did he come to Chairman Mao to "ask for official positions" when the anti-Japanese war was the most difficult time?

Chairman Mao’s concerns
1 At the end of August 1, the Japanese army in North China sent a large number of troops to "encircle and suppress" the main forces of the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.
Seeing the enemy coming in full force, the Central Secretariat and the Eighth Route Army Front Command Station immediately responded and began to arrange corresponding breakthrough strategies according to the enemy's action route. I hope that while successfully breaking through, I could also launch a series of counterattacks against the enemy and cause a blow to it.
Finally, under the wise command of the central government and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they finally successfully escaped from the enemy's encirclement and cut off five logistics supply lines of the Japanese army in North China, causing the enemy's combat plan to fail completely.
However, although we won this breakthrough battle, our soldiers also suffered a large number of casualties in the face of the enemy's fierce firepower.
Chairman Mao
Many seriously injured soldiers were transferred to field hospitals in the rear for diagnosis and treatment.
htmlOn September 13, Chairman Mao personally came to the Central Hospital located in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region to visit these soldiers who made great contributions to the battlefield.
After visiting more than 20 soldiers in succession, Chairman Mao walked to the head of a soldier who was still in a coma.
Looking at this yellow-skinned and skinny soldier, Chairman Mao was in a very heavy mood.
He hurriedly asked the doctor beside him: "Doctor, what injuries did our soldiers suffer? "
Hearing Chairman Mao's question, the doctor from the Central Hospital replied: "Chairman, the disease of this soldier is actually not a big deal. It is mainly because he is malnutrition and cannot eat enough, so the wound is difficult to heal and cannot grow meat again. As long as he eats a full meal for a month, he will immediately act vigorously."

Then, with the help of the nurse, the doctor showed Chairman Mao the scars on the soldier's body.
I saw that on the front chest, back and legs, there were various scars densely covered with various scars.
Some were scratched by bayonets, and some were scratched by bullets. Some were scratched by shrapnel, and there were more than 80 strokes in total.
This made Chairman Mao feel very distressed , his eyes immediately turned red.
When he learned that the soldier needed nutrition, Chairman Mao immediately called out the guard chief Li Yinqiao and asked him to use the milk card assigned to him by the central government to get some milk every day, and all of them were used to take the soldier.
Chairman Mao
But Li Yinqiao said hesitantly: "Chairman, this is assigned to you by the central government. If it is given to the soldier, what are you drinking? Moreover, your daughter has just been born and needs nutritional supplements..."
Before Li Yinqiao finished speaking, Chairman Mao interrupted him and said: "Isn't my body very good? The soldiers are going to the front line to fight the Japanese. How can this be done without maintaining their health! As for Li Ne (Chairman Mao’s daughter), drinking some porridge can help you grow up. After all, not all the children of ordinary people can drink milk to grow up. "
So, Li Yinqiao had to transfer half a kilogram of milk assigned to Chairman Mao every day to the hospital, and let the soldier supplement his nutrition.
So what is the name of this soldier, and how did the scars on his body remain?

Dare to fight and fight the battle hero
This soldier is called Xiao Yubi , and is from Majia Village, Qingjian County, Shaanxi Province.
Born in a poor farmer family, Xiao Yubi lived a life of being bullied by landlords and wealthy since childhood, and not being able to eat and wear.
Over time, his heart gradually became angry with the old world and yearning for revolution.
When The Red Army developed into the Guanzhong area, Xiao Yubi immediately joined the local guerrillas without any hesitation and actively participated in the battle with warlords and landlord reactionary armed forces.
Although Xiao Yubi looked very thin, his combat style was ten
In several missions to fight guerrillas, Xiao Yubi will always rush to the front of the team. After fighting with rifle fire, he will also raise a bayonet to fight the enemy in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Autumn 1934, in order to cooperate with Central Red Army 's Long March mission, guerrillas in Shaanxi were ordered to attack the enemy's county towns stationed in order to restrain the enemy and reduce the heavy pressure faced by the Central Red Army. html l3
When attacking Jiaxian located on the west bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River in northeastern Shaanxi Province, because the enemy's fortifications were too tight and the guerrillas were too poor, the city gate tower could not capture it for a long time. In a short while, the entire team suffered major casualties.
Seeing that this continued, the mission was likely to fail. Xiao Yubi gritted his teeth, then shouted, carrying the explosive bag and rushed out of the defense trench, and then braved the enemy's guns and bullets, and rushed to the front of the opposite defensive position in one breath.
saw that he ignited the explosive bag and threw it forward, and the explosive bag fell steadily into the enemy's fortress.
"Bang! With a loud "thunder, the enemy's position was blown up in a mess, and a gap was also blown out of the defensive front in front of the city gate tower.
Seeing the opportunity coming, the guerrilla captain gave the order, the entire team began to launch a fierce attack on the county town.
Finally, after more than 5 hours of combat, Jiaxian was finally successfully captured.

And in this battle, Xiao Yubi was injured all over his body, and more than a dozen scratches caused by fragments caused by the explosion of air waves.
This also made him a famous combat hero in the entire guerrilla team.
After the outbreak of the full-scale anti-Japanese war, Xiao Yubi was assigned to Northwest Shanxi as the guerrilla captain.
During this period, he led the team to perform more than 40 tasks in all sizes.
Every time I fight against the enemy, I set an example and lead by example, and rushed to the front of the army to fight with the Japanese devils.

1940, when leading the team to drop the Majiatun stronghold, Xiao Yubi tied four grenades together, imitating the scene when he attacked the gate tower of Jiaxian County, quietly slipped to the front of the enemy's fortifications, then pulled the grenade fuse away and threw it into it.
This time, due to the excessive power of the explosion, Xiao Yubi himself was also injured.
The explosive air wave of the grenade suddenly overturned him to the ground and fell into a coma.
When Xiao Yubi woke up again, she saw her comrades surrounded by him, and tears stood in her eyes.
It turned out that everyone saw that Xiao Yubi was too seriously injured, and shouted for a long time without any response, and thought he had sacrificed.
After seeing Xiao Yubi open his eyes, everyone immediately cheered.
However, although it was not in danger of life, Xiao Yubi suffered a deep internal injury this time, which made it difficult for him to go to the front line to fight again, so the organization had to send him to the Central Hospital to allow him to recuperate with peace of mind.
Shaanxi Loess High Slope
Corruption and bribery go astray
After receiving Chairman Mao’s kind care in the hospital, Xiao Yubi’s health has improved a lot faster.
Not long after, he recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
Because it has left deep sequelae on the battlefield, if you want to return to the front line, you must at least take care of yourself for a few years.
So, the organization transferred him to his hometown based on his own situation and served as the director of the Zhangjiapan Taxation Branch.
Although this position is not high, it is very precious to be able to enjoy a moment of peace in that war-torn era.

What's more, the front line was in a tight situation at that time, and it was of great significance to be able to manage the organization's tax situation in the rear.
However, after the transfer order was brought down, Xiao Yubi was very angry at the organization's arrangements. In his opinion, this was to underestimate him, a "revolutionary hero" and "fighting hero". He should take an official position that is greater than the county magistrate.
So, Xiao Yubi came to the central government to find Chairman Mao to "evaluate" him.
Results, under Chairman Mao’s earnest advice, Xiao Yubi still did not repent, did not recognize the true meaning of the revolution, and still wanted to be promoted and made a fortune.
After hearing his request, Chairman Mao scolded him angrily, and Xiao Yubi had to go and take office in shame.
Xiao Yubi (stills)
However, although he served as the director of the Zhangjiapan Taxation Branch, Xiao Yubi was "orally convinced and dissatisfied". He was still resentful that the organization did not allow him to "become a high-ranking official".
So, Xiao Yubi's mentality began to change quietly.
In the past few months of taking office, Xiao Yubi secretly used his position to embezzle bribes, withhold public funds, and even reselled the grain and oil in the base area to the Kuomintang army to make profits.
You should know that at that time, due to the tight war on the front line, the central government was adhering to a policy of saving food from top to bottom.
Chairman Mao also personally put forward the call for "do it yourself and have enough food and clothing". At the same time, he proposed "severely practice honest politics" in the "Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Policy Program " drafted by him, emphasizing that "severely punish corruption among civil servants, prohibit any civil servants from using public welfare for their own benefit. Communist Party members who violate the law will be punished seriously."

But at this stage of unity and tide over the difficulties, Xiao Yubi actually dared to do such a serious violation of discipline and revolutionary concepts, which is really a bold move.
Not long after, the local county government noticed Xiao Yubi's misbehavior, so he immediately dispatched civil servants to arrest him.
When she was arrested, Xiao Yubi was still rampantly yelling: "I am a combat hero, Chairman Mao knows me, whoever dares to arrest me!"
When this news reached Chairman Mao's ears, Chairman Mao was furious and immediately said: "Don't worry about whether he is a combat hero! Let the court judge as much as he should!" l2

After some review in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia High Court, Xiao Yubi, as a civil servant in the border area, could not perform his duties and be honest and dedicated, used his position to embezzle, withdrew 3,050 yuan of public funds, and fled with money and tax invoices, and betrayed the revolution. This behavior is extremely harmful to the construction of a model regime in the border area, and he was eventually sentenced to death.
After the verdict was issued, Xiao Yubi completely gave up. This combat hero who had been fighting bravely on the battlefield actually started to cry on the spot and asked the organization to let him go.
However, it was too late at this time.
1941, Xiao Yubi executed the death penalty in the border area.
With a gunshot, all his sins dissipated in the sky.
people thank Chairman Mao for
From a fighting hero to a criminal who is hated by the people, Xiao Yubi's final outcome is undoubtedly a bit sad.
On the road of revolution, there will always be some people with unsteady will choose to betray their faith at some point and stand opposite to the people.
To thoroughly eliminate this phenomenon, in addition to rigorous propaganda of revolutionary ideas, strict discipline is also required to restrain it.
It was Chairman Mao and the Central Committee’s wise decision that made the revolutionary cause finally succeed.
