In 1952, at the entrance of Yujiafan Village, Huajiahe Town, Hong'an County, Hubei Province, an old man was looking forward to waiting for her son who had not seen for 23 years.
The son of this old man is He Jian, the founding Major General of my country. The old man stayed at the entrance of the village before dawn and finally saw the person she was thinking about day and night. Although she hadn't seen him for more than 20 years, she recognized at a glance that the person who came from far away was her son.
The old man walked forward tremblingly, slapped He Jian in the face lightly, and then cried loudly: "My son, I thought I would never see you again!"
The mother and son hugged their heads and cried bitterly, as if they wanted to vent their lovesickness for more than 20 years.
The old man pulled He Jian back to the old house. In her room, she picked up a pair of scissors and pried a small hole in a crack in the wall, and dug out a small cloth bag. Then, she carefully opened the small cloth bag, which turned out to be a letter He Jian wrote to his mother back then. During the war years, my mother was worried about being searched by the enemy, so she hid the letter.
He Jian looked at the letter treasured by his mother, thinking that he had never fulfilled his filial piety for so many years, and went to join the army without telling it, which made his mother feel very guilty.
1. First entered the military camp to show its strength
1911, He Jian was born in Hong'an County, Hubei Province. In this small county town known as the "No. 1 General County", many founding generals such as Han Xianchu, Wang Jian'an, and Chen Xilian were successively born, and they are the veritable birthplace of the general.
At that time, He Jian's family conditions were considered middle-class and he had no worries about food and clothing. He has the pampering of his parents and two brothers, which makes him very naughty since he was a child. He himself also described himself as a lazy person in his autobiography.
Under the discipline of his parents and two brothers, He Jian has been a little rebellious since childhood, hoping to get rid of the family's control sooner.
When he saw the recruitment notice posted by the county, he felt that he could leave his family by going to the army and was very majestic, so he had the idea of joining the army. So, after leaving a letter to his family, he went to the county recruitment office alone. When his parents and brothers learned about this, they were anxious and rushed to the recruitment office to bring him back. His first military operation ended in vain.
HonganThe patriotic enthusiasm of the local people is rising, and the wave of revolution is rising one after another. He Jian has been influenced by this atmosphere since he was a child and hopes that he can also make a revolution one day.
1928, He Jian joined the local Red Guards and often participated in activities to fight against local tyrants. He saw with his own eyes that ordinary people were unable to eat under the exploitation of these landlords and tyrants, which inspired him to overthrow the exploiting class for the people.
1929, He Jian's idea of joining the army became stronger and stronger, but the family was too much resistance. In desperation, he had to tell his mother that he had to learn skills and make money, so that his family could let him out.
As soon as he left his hometown, He Jian was like a wild horse that broke away from his reins. He turned around and joined Red Army and became a real soldier. The first military service He Jian was to be a communications soldier. When he was a new recruit, the division commander was Xu Xiangqian.
In the battle at Garden Station , He Jian was very brave. He not only cut off one enemy and captured two, but also seized multiple weapons.
His bravery in fighting the enemy was appreciated by the leader and he was soon promoted to the squad leader. In the army, he grew from a rebellious boy to a determined Red Army soldier, and also understood that the true meaning of joining the army was not to escape from his family, but to defend his country.
1935, Xu Xiangqian, who had always appreciated He Jian very much, transferred He Jian to be a guard. He Jian, who had always hoped to fight against the enemy on the battlefield, was unwilling to do so at first. He felt that he was not well-educated and had a bad temper, and could compete with the enemy on the battlefield more vividly.
However, soldiers take orders as their duty. When he came to Xu Xiangqian, Xu Xiangqian smiled and said to him: "I heard that you want to go to the battlefield and don't want to come to me as a guard?"
He Jian scratched his head embarrassedly, and Xu Xiangqian continued: "The enemy is both working in front and behind. You can study with me for two years first, and there are opportunities to fight in the future."
Hearing the leader say this, He Jian immediately stood at attention: "Please rest assured, I will definitely work hard. "
He said this and did it. During his years as Xu Xiangqian's guard, He Jian used his usual alert and heroic style and completed the task excellently many times.
Not long after, Xu Xiangqian ordered He Jian to escort Zhang Guotao, the then vice chairman of the Military Commission, to Lianghekou to attend a meeting.
The route is not only dangerous, but also to cross mountains and ridges, cross jungles, and also to avoid the enemies tracked. He Jian safely sent Zhang Guotao to his destination with his outstanding anti-reconnaissance and command capabilities.
Later, Zhang Guotao also formulated He Jian to be responsible for his safety and handed over all his guards to He Jian for command.
In the Battle of Huangguang, He Jian even tried to protect Xu Xiangqian The safety of the two leaders Chen Geng puts his life aside. After the battle started, Xu Xiangqian and Chen Geng came to a high ground to observe the battle form. At this time, a shell was roaring in the distance.
When He Jian realized that the danger was about to happen, he rushed forward desperately and pushed the two leaders down the hillside. He was directly lifted by the air waves of the shells and was cannoned on his back The fire was seriously injured and his ribs were broken.
Xu Xiangqian immediately asked someone to send him to the rear hospital for emergency treatment. Fortunately, this time it was not life-threatening. Not long after he recovered, he returned to his job. During this period, Chen Geng also came to visit him specially.
Xu Xiangqian was very optimistic about He Jian and intended to promote him. He always warned He Jian: "You have low educational level, so you must strengthen your studies in this area. "And in 1936, He Jian was sent to the Red Army University to study.
2. Only revolutionary cause in his heart
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, He Jian fought bravely and led the soldiers to complete the attack tasks many times.
In fact, He Jian was not his original name. His original name was Yu Anliang . In 1938, He Jian, who had outstanding abilities, was sent by the leader to do ideological work for friendly forces.
In order to cover up his eyes, he changed his name to He Jian and continued to use it in his subsequent work. Even his children have always used the surname "He".
is a big deal, regardless of trivial matters. From this we can see that in his mind, he only focused on achieving the revolutionary goals, and he can ignore everything about him personally.
1942, this year He Jian He in 1942. Already 32 years old, but she has been busy with war and has not gotten married. Finally, with the help of her comrades, she met a girl named Yang Hongzhao.
Yang Hongzhao only knew that He Jian had a bad temper at first and was not very willing. However, when she learned about He Jian's heroic deeds to defend her country, she felt admiration and agreed happily.
On the wedding day, He Jian put on his latest military uniform and happily went to pick up the bride. . Every household in the village also came out to watch the fun, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.
Since the War of Resistance Against Japan, He Jian has led the soldiers to fight with the enemy, protecting the safety of the whole village. The villagers here have long regarded these soldiers as their families.
Just as the wedding was held lively, a sentry suddenly ran in and reported to He Jian urgently: "Captain, a Japanese and puppet army broke into the village and wanted to steal the wheat from the people. "
He Jian glared at the sight of his eyes and said, "How can this be done? This group of people didn't know how high the world was, and they actually grabbed my nose. Today they had to beat them up. "
After saying that, the team was about to set off. At this time, the political commissar of the regiment Wu Dai said, "Then this wedding..."
Before he could finish his words, He Jian gave an order: "I will hold the wedding again when I get back. All the soldiers will set off! "
, the Japanese and puppet troops who were robbing villagers' food saw the Red Army as if they were descending from the sky, they were immediately frightened and turned around and scattered birds and beasts, fleeing back to the stronghold.
He Jian did not intend to let them go so easily. He immediately ordered the pursuit and drove the enemy into the artillery tower. He ordered the soldiers to surround the artillery tower, cut off the telephone line, and not give the enemy a chance to ask for help.
At the same time, he asked the villagers to notify them and immediately seize the wheat.In the end, under the protection of He Jian and the soldiers, the villagers kept harvesting all the wheat day and night, leaving no grain for the enemy.
3. New recruits do not recognize veterans
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, He Jian served as deputy commander of the 25th Army and commander of the Central Military Region of Lu, and was awarded the rank of major general in 1955.
It is worth mentioning that although he made great contributions to the revolutionary cause of the motherland during the war years, he is now at a high position. However, both for children and for yourself are strict requirements. He was a soldier and had a hot temper and used stick education to his children, especially his naughty son, who had been beaten a lot since he was a child. He will never allow his children to make special under his banner.
1970 He Jian was appointed Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Military Transportation. His son was joining the army at the 113th Division in Hebei at this time.
On weekdays, both father and son are very busy with work, and their son rarely knows how to call. It takes a year and a half for He Jian and his wife to meet their son.
However, even so, as a senior leader of the Party and the country, He Jian never thought of transferring his son back to him, or using the privileges in his hands to open a door of convenience for his son.
Once, I was so anxious that He Jian bought a train ticket, took the train to Hebei, and went to the army to visit his son.
When he came to his son's army gate, he encountered difficulties. When the sentry at the door of
saw an old man in his seventies walking straight to the army gate, he immediately stepped forward and stopped him: "Do you know where this is? Just break inside?"
He Jian looked at the young sentry and thought he didn't know him. However, he was from the army and knew the duties of the sentry, so he said to the sentry: "I came out today and didn't bring my ID. I'll come to see my son."
Unexpectedly, the sentry sticks to his responsibilities and doesn't let He Jian in no way.
He Jian finally came here but couldn't see his son. He was a little anxious. He didn't want to alarm their leader, but now it seems that there is nothing he can do.
He Jian shouted another sentence to the sentry: "Your division commander Pei Fei is running over to see me."
The sentry was stunned, not knowing what the old man in front of him was. However, seeing that he was straight and his eyes were like a torch, he did not dare to blindly stop him, so he immediately called the division commander Pei Feizheng.
Pei Fei is He Jian’s old subordinate, who once saved his life on the battlefield. When he heard the sentry's description, he thought that he could call him so much and that he was so hot, the only one who had the previous old leader was probably the one who had the same temper.
Pei Fei was putting down the phone and running to the army gate immediately. As expected, it was this former old leader who was waiting for him at the door.
Before Pei Feizheng could speak, He Jian spoke: "I am here to see my son this time. Don't make a statement. I will go back in the afternoon."
Under Pei Feizheng's leadership, He Jian finally saw his son. Seeing that his son was safe in the army, he told him to do his best and was ready to go back.
People in the army heard that the old leader came and hoped that He Jian could stay and review their troops and listen to him tell stories on the battlefield.
He Jian waved his hand and said, "I have to go back in the afternoon, so I have to hurry up."
is such an old revolutionary. When I visited my son, I came and went in a hurry, which made people respect me.
From joining the army to retiring, He Jian has fought for most of his revolutionary cause in our country for more than half a century.
In May 2008, on the bed of Dalian Hospital, He Jian walked through his glorious life. At the last moment of his life, he was still shouting with all his might: "The enemy is coming, you go first."
At this moment, he seemed to be the Red Army soldier who was struggling to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
