In April 1947, Liao Hansheng received an order to find someone quickly and if necessary, he could dispatch a division's troops.
The person who gave him this order was He Long, the commander of Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia-Shenzhen-Sui Sui Joint Defense Forces, and the person they were looking for was He Bingyan .
He Bingyan has been on the battlefield for 20 years, was seriously injured 11 times, and has 16 scars on his body. He is called "He Xiaolong".
At the same time, he also has the title of "Zhao Zilong" in the Red Army. His life was a powerful figure and has made many outstanding achievements.
What happened at that time, causing President He to issue such an order to Liao Hansheng?
Can Liao Hansheng find He Bingyan?
Seizing the war horse made the commander's face change
On April 1947, He Long, as the commander of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia-Shenzhen-Sui Sui Joint Defense Forces, received a telegram, reporting on the good news that our army defeated the Kuomintang army in the Taihang Mountains area.
(He Long)
After hearing this news, President He immediately smiled, because the successive news not only greatly boosted the morale of our army, but also believed that in the near future, our party will definitely defeat the Kuomintang reactionaries and achieve national liberation.
One of the telegrams also mentioned one thing, that is, In a battle, our army seized a war horse. When Mr. He learned the news, he felt a little uneasy.
The reason why this war horse was mentioned in this telegram is mainly because, as the commander of the first army, Mr. He has been riding the horse under him for many years, not only is he thin but also is older.
But every time people mention changing it for him, he can't bear to leave it. is actually to leave good things for his soldiers.
However, after learning that there was a war horse in our army's spoils, Mr. He immediately called and asked specifically whether the horse was white in color.
After receiving the other party's 's affirmative answer, the smile on the face of Mr. He immediately disappeared, and a trace of worry instantly gathered.
After confirming that there was a brown birthmark next to the right eye of the horse's , Mr. He couldn't sit still.
White war horse was not common at the time. In addition to the various characteristics of this horse, it can be confirmed that the white owner of is not someone else, but He Bingyan.
In this case, only seeing the horse but not seeing the person. Mr. He had an ominous premonition in his heart that He Bingyan might be in danger...
Send a division to find someone!
Then, he gave Liao Han an order, asking them to send people to find He Bingyan, the owner of the horse, and must meet people alive and corpses when they die. If necessary, they can dispatch a division's troops to find them.
(Liao Hansheng)
This command made many people a little curious, What is the relationship between He Bingyan and He Long Lao? President He actually sent someone to use a division of troops to find him?
Because President He not only loves soldiers as his sons and talents as his life, He Bingyan has been following He Long in the south and north for nearly 20 years. During this period, they established deep revolutionary friendship.
President He also relies very much on He Bingyan. Once he encounters dangerous or bad battles, no matter whether he is an ordinary soldier or a soldier, President He will give orders and say, "He Bingyan, go!"
(He Bingyan on the left, He Long in the middle)
every battle, so everyone joked that he was He Long's "son" and named "He Xiaolong".
He Bingyan never fears the enemy's artillery fire in many dangerous situations and always leads the way in front. This not only boosts the morale of the army, but also can deal a heavy blow to the enemy...
. At this time, if something really happened to He Bingyan, it would be a considerable loss for our army.
In addition, if he falls into the hands of the enemy, his upright and unyielding personality will definitely be under great threat.
(He Bingyan in the middle)
Therefore, it is understandable that Mr. He ordered a division of troops to be sent to find He Bingyan's whereabouts.
So, when did He Bingyan and Mr. He meet each other? What other things have happened between them?
·Born from a poor family, determined to be a Red Army
In February 1913, a boy was born in a poor family in Jiangjiawan Village, Yidu County, Hubei Province. He was He Bingyan.
Because my mother died early, my father had to go out to make a living in order to make a living, but the situation at home still did not improve much.
After his sister was sent away as a child bride and his brother was adopted by someone else's family, he had to work for the landlord's house at a young age.
By chance, he joined the army to learn martial arts under the sect of Taoist Master Yiqing of Wudang, which also laid the foundation for him to kill enemies and make great achievements on the battlefield in the future.
He Bingyan has been a strong person since he was a child and likes to stand up for the injustice. Every time he sees a child being bullied, he always stands up for the weak to stand up for the injustice.
He often beat the bully's side to the blue and swollen face. At that time, many playboys near Jiangjiawan Village had to respect him three points.
1929, He Long led the Red Army to the area around Yidu . At that time, He Bingyan had just turned 16 years old and was still a child who had not grown up.
At that time, when He Long ran into him, He Bingyan was quarreling with his father because he also wanted to be a Red Army.
However, his father felt that he was too young and disagreed with nothing he said, and he was holding a shoulder pole in his hand to drive him away.
Seeing this, He Long walked up to persuade He Bingyan to come back when he grew up, because he was too young now and had no way to go to the battlefield to fight bayonets with the enemy.
He Bingyan knew that the person who spoke to him was He Long, the largest leader of the Red Army. He Bingyan was not timid at all. He also came forward to He Long and told him that he had practiced martial arts and had strength. Even He Long might not be his opponent.
(He Long)
He Long looked at the stubborn and unyielding "little ghost" in front of him, as if he had seen himself back then, so he fell in love with him all of a sudden.
Then, He Long kept He Bingyan and asked him to run errands in the guard squad to deliver letters and do something within his ability.
people called "Zhao Zilong in the Red Army"
He Bingyan, who joined the army in June 1929, began to participate in various battles. He held a big knife in his hand and rushed directly to the enemy's team, slashed left and killed right, and seized the lives of several enemies in succession, which scared the enemy so much that he didn't dare to move forward.
In July of the same year, he did an earth-shaking event...
At that time, the troops led by He Long were fighting fiercely with the enemy in Yuanbozikou, Qianjiang, Hubei, so he wanted to send someone to send a letter to another team of our army, so that they could surround the enemy from the rear of the enemy, so as to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.
The task of delivering the letter fell on He Bingyan. Not long after, the enemy surrendered under the siege of two teams of our army, but he did not see He Bingyan until the end of the battle.
Just as He Long was about to send someone to search, He Bingyan came back alone with dozens of prisoners.
It turned out that on the way back to send the letter, he saw his comrades killing the enemy on the front line, and his hands were itchy, so he put a few grenades and on his waist to chase the enemy.
Not long after he set out, he met a group of enemies. He held a big knife in one hand and a grenade in the other, and suppressed the enemy.
However, an enemy suddenly discovered that he was a hairy child who had not grown up and was about to shoot at him with a gun. He said that at that time, He Bingyan quickly lay down and the bullet flew over his head.
This completely angered He Bingyan. He took the enemy with one knife.
Among them, several enemies were trying to run away when they saw this. He Bingyan threw out a grenade and directly blocked their way.
This move scared all the enemies and quickly threw down the weapons in their hands and said quickly: Let's surrender.
After counting the number of people, He Bingyan returned to the team with 47 prisoners.
Because of this battle, He Bingyan became famous and quickly became a grassroots commander and fighter.
Soon he was promoted from squadron leader and brigade leader to the company commander of the cavalry company as the instructor. The more fierce the battle was, the more famous He Bingyan was.
While He Bingyan was serving as the captain of the cavalry, he led everyone to attack the air city and disarmed a batch of war horses. When he was about to retreat, he found that the chief was missing.
However, at that time the enemy had already attacked, He Bingyan rode his horse in the street without thinking.
He saw the chief clerk who was buying things, and hugged him and put him on his shoulder. Faced with the enemy's interception, he waved his sword and broke through the siege.
Since then, He Bingyan has received the title of "Zhao Zilong in the Red Army".
was deeply surrounded and rescued by his comrades
because He Bingyan never made any mistakes in every battle, and he valued his mount very much. He said that he must not be separated from the horse easily, So, this time the situation really made President He hold a hand in his hand.
After receiving the order from President He, Liao Hansheng immediately took the team to find He Bingyan's whereabouts. When they discovered He Bingyan, he was already trapped in the enemy's encirclement.
So, why was He Bingyan surrounded by the enemy at that time?
That day, He Bingyan led a group of soldiers from our army to fight fiercely with the enemy, and the battle lasted for a long time.
At that time, He Bingyan rode a war horse and charged into battle as usual. In order to wipe out the enemy completely and to end the battle as soon as possible, he rode his horse alone to chase the enemy's commander.
However, during the chasing process, because the firepower of both sides was relatively strong, a shell exploded beside him. The horse under He Bingyan was frightened and was completely out of control, so he threw him down.
He Bingyan suffered a lot now. When he reacted a little, he found that one of his legs was injured and could no longer move quickly.
A large number of enemy troops surrounded him at this time. He Bingyan found that there were not many places to hide around him, so he dragged his injured leg and hurriedly hid behind a big rock.
The enemy quickly launched an encirclement against him. He Bingyan still did not give up and used the only pistol around him to fight the enemy with a desperate battle.
Half an hour has passed, and the bullets are almost exhausted. As a party member and cadre, He Bingyan will never give the enemy the chance to capture him alive. , and he decided to leave the last bullet for himself.
was surrounded by the enemy. When He Bingyan was about to understand himself, the troops of a division of our army arrived in time, and and captured the enemy in one place. He Bingyan was also saved.
has made many extraordinary achievements and was awarded the General
He Bingyan knew that he had survived this disaster and must have been the reinforcements sent by General He. After returning to the army, he quickly asked Mr. He to admit his mistake, to examine himself for not being so greedy for merit and to ask for punishment from his superiors.
President He looked at He Bingyan who was safe and sound and said nothing, but just smiled and patted his shoulder and left.
He Bingyan learned this lesson. he never made any advance in the future, but his enthusiasm for taking the lead in killing the enemy has not weakened at all.
In September 1947, He Bingyan became the commander of , the first column of the Northwest Field Army in . He and political commissar Liao Hansheng participated in many famous battles and all achieved major victories.
For example, in the Battle of Wazi Street in Yichuan, He Bingyan once again showed extraordinary courage and command ability.
On February 24, 1948, the battle to siege Yichuan county town started. The reinforcements of 4 brigades of the Kuomintang troops had arrived in Yichuan and entered the Wazi Street area.
troops led by He Bingyan quickly arrived at the designated position to encircle the enemy, but the second column that cooperated with him failed to arrive due to heavy snow.
At this time, our army has a strategic siege gap. If this gap is not blocked, the plan to wipe out the enemy will be lost.
He Bingyan and Liao Hansheng had a row of controversies and sent their own troops to block the gap. After the battle started, all the enemy's troops and heavy weapon rushed towards the gap, and this place became the focus for a while.
He Bingyan led the soldiers to repel the enemy's charges more than 30 times, and the entire position was stained with blood.
After two days and one night of fierce fighting, our army finally won the victory of Yiwa Battle . Later, Chairman Mao also gave a high evaluation of this battle.
After the founding of New China , He Bingyan was awarded the rank of founding general of the Republic.
At that time, after receiving Chairman Mao’s personal rank of marshal of the Republic, President He rushed to Chengdu where He Bingyan was and personally awarded He Bingyan the title of rank and awarded him the title.
Conclusion
In the 20 years of war between blood and fire, Mr. He and He Bingyan appreciate each other and rely on each other. They are not father and son, but better than father and son.
In July 1960, after He Bingyan's death, Marshal He Long wrote an elegy couplet with tears in his hand: "Excellent merits are passed down for thousands of years, and the revolutionary spirit will last forever!"
