In 1955, among the generals under Zhang Xueliang, there were several generals with unique revolutionary experiences, who did not participate in the agrarian revolution, but came from the old army. Among them, Lu Zhengcao, Wan Yi, Xie Fang, Zhang Xuesi and others all came from the Northeast Army. They have a close relationship with Zhang Xueliang, among which Zhang Xueliang's most important leader, Wan Yi, can be called the protagonist of the story.
After the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, Japan occupied Dalian, Jinxian, and Lushun, collectively calling them "Kwantung Prefecture". In the same year, Wan Yi was born in Jinxian County, Liaoning. Growing up in an environment where the country broke mountains and rivers, Wan Yi cultivated a resolute and strong character since he was a child.
In 1925, he was admitted to the 4th Infantry Section of the Army Sergeant Training Team of the Northeast Army, and the captain was Zhang Xueliang at that time. Wan Yi gained Zhang Xueliang's trust in the army and became Zhang Xueliang's adjutant after graduation. Zhang Xueliang had high hopes and sent Wan Yi to the Northeast Lecture Hall for further study. In 1930, after graduating with the first grade, Zhang Xueliang presented him with a pocket watch and a command knife, and praised him as "the first among more than 2,000 people, with a bright future".
In 1931, the "918 Incident" broke out, and Zhang Xueliang ordered the Northeast Army to withdraw to Guannai. Wan Yi had a heavy heart for this. In 1935, when Wan Yi accompanied Zhang Xueliang for a walk, he learned that the family members of the Northeast Army were placed in Jianxin Village, Weihe, Xi'an, and couldn't help but ask Zhang Xueliang: "Why do you want to settle here?"Which place in our Northeast is not stronger than here?Zhang Xueliang was silent.
In 1936, Zhang Xueliang appointed Wan Yi as the commander of the 627th Regiment of the Northeast Army. Although this regiment was completely annihilated by the Red Army in Zhiluo Town, Wan Yi reorganized the team in only 4 months after taking office. During this period, Wan Yi became acquainted with Liu Lanbo, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, and developed a good impression of the Communist Party.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Wan Yi participated in the defense of Jiangyin. After the defeat, he met Zhang Wenhai and **, a member of the Communist Party, and joined the Communist Party of China. In 1941, he was arrested by Chiang Kai-shek in the name of "collaborating with the enemy", but failed. In August 1942, he successfully escaped and joined the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army. After that, Wan Yi became a member of our party's army.
In 1943, he served as the deputy commander of the Binhai Military Region of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he volunteered to go to the Northeast and served as the commander of the Seventh Column of the Northeast People's Autonomous Army. In 1946, he became the commander of the first column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army and participated in many battles.
In 1948, he was transferred to the commander of the fifth column, and in 1949 he was changed to the commander of the "42nd Army". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he successively served as the deputy minister of the Second Ministry of Machinery Industry and the director of the Ordnance Equipment Planning Department.
In 1955, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and was awarded the Order of Independence and Freedom of the First Class and the Order of Liberation of the First Class. However, after the Lushan meeting, he was removed from all his posts for speaking for ***.
In 1960, he was transferred to the Provincial Forestry Department as deputy director. In 1977, ** instructed: "Wan Yi has no political and historical problems, so he should be properly accommodated, and he has made contributions in the past." "Appointed as an adviser to the General Logistics Department.
In 1997, at the age of 90, he ended his legendary life.
Wan Yi's life is full of legends, and his story not only reflects that turbulent era, but also shows the tenacity and courage of a true soldier and politician. It can be seen from the article that Wan Yi grew up in the context of history, and in the face of the country's breaking environment, he cultivated a tenacious and resolute character, which became a solid foundation for his later military career.
As the youngest regiment commander under Zhang Xueliang, Wan Yi stood out in the Northeast Army, not only trusted by Zhang Xueliang, but also studied in the Northeast Lecture and Martial Arts Hall, with remarkable achievements. His life was full of coincidences and opportunities, such as meeting Liu Lanbo, a member of the Communist Party, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, learning about Marxism and the anti-Japanese ideas of the Communist Party of China, and finally joining the party organization. This kind of political consciousness and courage allowed him to maintain a firm stance in the difficult situation, and even if he was arrested by Chiang Kai-shek in the name of "collaborating with the enemy", he still stuck to his original intention.
Wan Yi's story also shows his contribution to the war effort, participating in battles such as the Battle of Jiangyin, showing his military talent. However, after the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War, his military career experienced twists and turns due to his unwavering support for the Communist Party. In the article, we see different stages of his dealings with **, including being removed from his post for a time, reassuming his position, etc., but he always maintained his enthusiasm for his cause and adhered to his principles, and eventually became one of the main forces in the Northeast Army.
After the Lushan meeting mentioned in the article, Wan Yi was removed from all his positions for speaking for ***. This also reflects the political situation at the time, and the positions and choices of military personnel have had a profound impact on their careers. However, even after all these twists and turns, he found his place in the later years and became an advisor to the General Logistics Department.
The whole article vividly outlines Wan Yi's life through vivid examples and detailed details. His ups and downs in his military career, his change in political beliefs, and his loyalty to the country and the people are all moving. The story of Wan Yi is not only a military career, but also a microcosm of an ordinary soldier's pursuit of truth and insistence on faith in modern Chinese history.
