After that, he looked at Yang Xiushan, his eyes filled with tears. So, what's going on?What qualifications does Deputy Army Commander Yang Xiushan have to blame?It all starts at the beginning.
After the evaluation work began, Yang Xiushan, deputy commander of the Second Army, should be awarded the rank of major general according to regulations. **After learning this, he fell into deep thought, although it was not inappropriate for Yang Xiushan to be awarded the rank of major general and deputy army according to the standard, ** fell into deep thought. ** and Yang Xiushan are both from Honghu, and he joined **'s army with 43 young people in the village that year. Since then, following the ** Red Second Front Army, he has also been fortunate to become the herald of **. Yang Xiushan was initially reluctant to serve as a herald, but was eager to go to the battlefield and join the battle. However, this is the task assigned to him by the organization, he must obey, he must protect **, and the instructions of ** will be communicated to the various troops.
However, as time went by, Yang Xiushan really didn't want to continue, and he was eager to join the company on the battlefield. In desperation, ** had to allow him to leave. After Yang Xiushan arrived at the company, he participated in more and more frequent battles, and he behaved more and more heroically. At first, ** didn't know much about Yang Xiushan, only that he had some cultural cultivation and a great will to fight. However, unexpectedly, Yang Xiushan was extremely brave in the battle, and every time he charged forward, he was impressed and carefully cultivated. In addition, thanks to his cultural accomplishments, five years later he was promoted from a recruit to the regimental commissar. However, it was precisely because Yang Xiushan was particularly brave in the battle that he was seriously injured many times.
For the first time, his leg bone was broken by a bullet, leaving 14 pieces of shrapnel on his body that could not be removed. Secondly, the bullet penetrated the neck and almost injured the artery fatally. Yang Xiushan was hit in the head by shrapnel when he was injured for the third time, and when the doctor operated to remove the shrapnel, he actually bit the towel without any anesthetic, endured the pain, and insisted on completing the operation. The pain of the fourth and fifth wounds has long been blurred. ** praised Yang Xiushan again, and constantly reprimanded him, emphasizing that the importance of a commander lies in commanding, but Yang Xiushan often forgets. Despite this, this did not weaken his position in his heart, which was repeatedly entrusted with important tasks and gave him a resounding name: "Fierce Son".
However, due to his bravery in battle, this had an impact on his later military career. Whenever he was seriously injured, he had to recuperate for months. During the years of the revolutionary war, the vacancies in the main leadership positions of the army could not exist for a long time, so Yang Xiushan missed the opportunity to be promoted many times due to injuries and illness. This is also the main reason why he served as deputy commander after the founding of New China. However, Yang Xiushan never cared. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he told people many times that among the 43 people who joined the army with him, he was the only one who survived, so what was there to be dissatisfied?No matter what position the organization assigns him to, he will be conscientious and never make any demands on the organization.
Just like this time when he was awarded the rank, when he learned that he would become a major general, he was satisfied in his heart and never thought of making any requests. However, ** understands this fierce general and thinks that awarding Yang Xiushan such a military rank is too low to reflect his revolutionary merits. Therefore, **found ***, who was responsible for assessing military ranks, introduced Yang Xiushan's situation, saying that he was already the political commissar of the regiment when he was in the Red Army, which was actually enough to confer the rank of general. If he can't be promoted, ** is willing to give one of his stars to Yang Xiushan. Of course, this incident was soon learned by Yang Xiushan, and there was the scene described earlier.
** After carefully reviewing Yang Xiushan's resume, he found that he was indeed extraordinary, and finally reported to the Military Commission for approval, making him the only deputy commander in the whole army who was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Yang Xiushan's deeds in his later years are admirable. In 2002, General Yang Xiushan passed away. A total of 21 shrapnel were found in his ashes, which undoubtedly became the strongest proof of his status as a revolutionary hero.
