It is unimaginable that a high-ranking ** from the Red Army was held twice at a memorial service. War is unforgiving, and those who survive are considered very lucky.
This senior **, who was held twice at a memorial service, eventually won the rank of lieutenant general, and his career is full of legends. From ancient times to the present, "one-armed generals" are very rare, but this situation is more than one case among the soldiers of the Red Army.
They are heroes, and the brutal war has left a deep imprint on them. Yan Fusheng is one of them.
Yan Fusheng, a high-ranking cadre who grew up under artillery fire, came from a poor background and had to herd cattle for landlords at a young age, and was exploited. After his father's death, he left his homeland and had no choice but to do manual work.
But he found a new direction in life in the workers' movement in the Anyuan Coal Mine, where he joined workers' clubs and trade unions, and deeply realized that only by resisting could he get rid of exploitation.
With his alert style, he made a name for himself in the crowd. In 1925, in order to help Jiang Xianyun, one of the "Three Heroes of Whampoa", go to Changsha to report to ***, Yan Fusheng did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, let Jiang Xianyun change into his clothes, and successfully passed the enemy's investigation.
Yan Fusheng performed well in the Northern Expedition, not only working diligently at his own post, but also supporting the war effort in other ways. He spent most of his time in Anyuan and nearby areas and successfully withstood the tests of the organization.
He was also responsible for delivering letters and escorting comrades, establishing an important link between the Xiangdong Special Committee and the Jinggangshan Base Area. In 1930, ** instructed to form the first independent division of the Xiangdong Red Army in Liuyang and other places, Yan Fusheng was appointed as the adjutant of the third regiment, and his political commissar was the later famous ** general.
After the Red 8th Army was reorganized into the Red 17th Division, Yan Fusheng served as the commissioner and political commissar of the 49th Regiment of the Red 17th Division. In the battle, Yan Fusheng always stood at the forefront and left a deep impression on people.
In order to support the Long March of the Red Army, the Red Army launched the Xiangxi Campaign and successfully occupied Yongshun City. However, the Kuomintang dispatched troops of the 34th Division and 3 brigades to chase after them and approached Yongshun City.
Considering the difference in strength between the enemy and us, the Red Army took the initiative to abandon Yongshun City and move north. **The general decided to set up an ambush in the area north of Longjiazhai and wipe out the enemy in one net.
Commander Yan Fusheng led the main force of the 49th Regiment to quickly enter the battle. He personally commanded the 2nd Battalion to break into the stockade and found a force of the enemy breaking through the Red Army line and fleeing to the west.
Yan Fusheng was so anxious that he didn't have time to mobilize the troops, so he chased after him with his guards.
The smoke of the battlefield cleared, and the counting of life and death began. After a search, Yan Fusheng and the guards were nowhere to be found. The battle was urgent, the team was assembled for a short time, and everyone thought that he had died bravely.
The troops were about to be transferred, and the regiment commander Wu Zhengqing organized a short memorial service, and all the staff were silent for three minutes, and the mourning spread. At this moment, Yan Fusheng and several guards returned with captured spears, and found that everyone was holding a memorial service for themselves, and he shouted: "I'm still alive, don't hold a memorial service!" ”
Then, he walked straight to the spiritual position and kicked it hard, causing everyone around him to look at each other. But he didn't seem to care, but smiled and said, "You haven't won yet, you can't just leave us like this." ”
In November 1935, Yan Fusheng served as the political commissar of the newly formed 6th Division of the 16th Army Corps. In September of the following year, the Red Second Front Army successfully walked out of the grassland, and the 16th Division, as the vanguard of the right column, under the leadership of Zhang Hui and Yan Fusheng, opened the way for the 6th Army Corps.
However, in the process of advancing north, the troops encountered Hu Zongnan's main force, and the two sides quickly engaged in fierce fighting. There were more and more enemies, and the 6 Corps was in a dangerous situation on all sides.
Faced with this situation, Yan Fusheng quickly found a breakthrough and placed the main force in a safe area, while he continued to deal with the enemy. As they fought and retreated, Yan Fusheng's right arm was injured by a cannonball, and blood gushed out.
In an extremely critical situation, the guards could only help the wounded to a secret place to bandage them, and after a brief treatment, they came out to find that they had lost contact with the troops.
The pursuers also rushed over, and Yan Fusheng ordered the guards to take confidential documents and ** to look for the troops, but the guards resolutely refused to leave and refused to leave their comrades. Yan Fusheng was anxious and ordered him more resolutely, but the guards heard what he meant, so they could only say goodbye with tears, threw two grenades at the pursuers, and quickly withdrew with the smoke from the shells.
Since then, there has been no news of Yan Fusheng.
Comrade Yan Fusheng, political commissar of the 16th Division, was killed. ”
The soldiers continued to advance in order to fight, and after crossing the river, a memorial service was held for the old political commissar who had died, and the atmosphere at the scene was heavy. A deep silence for three minutes. However, in reality, Yan Fusheng did not sacrifice.
After the guards left, he felt that the hiding place might be dangerous, so he went to the broken cave at the bottom of the mountain, and the villagers took pity on him for his serious injuries and warmly took him in. The villagers cooked for him, and Yan Fusheng was grateful for leaving the only two silver dollars to this enthusiastic fellow, and set off after changing his clothes as civilians.
After four days of arduous trekking, he finally reached the banks of the Weishui River, but it was already under the control of the Kuomintang troops, and he could only wade through the water. He was wounded in his right arm, and the pain he endured was unimaginable due to the soaking of the river.
He was in constant danger due to an infected wound, but he still persisted in the long journey for half a month, and finally caught up with his troops in the territory of Tongwei County. When the soldiers saw him in rags, they didn't know who he was, and even though he claimed to be the political commissar of the 16th Division, everyone still looked at him with puzzled eyes and couldn't believe it.
Fortunately, this unit is the 31st Army of the Red Fourth Front Army, and the commander is Xiao Ke, who was the commander of the 6th Army Corps and Yan Fusheng's old superior. After the two met, Xiao Ke was excited, but he also noticed that Yan Fusheng had been seriously injured, so he immediately sent someone to send him to the Red Fourth Front Army Headquarters Hospital**.
During the formation of the Western Route Army, the one-armed general Yan Fusheng resolutely followed the troops, although his injuries were not effectively treated**. Eventually, the Minister of Health of the Headquarters of the Fourth Front Army performed an amputation on him in Shandan County in an attempt to control his injuries.
Yan Fusheng expected such an outcome, and he knew that no matter how difficult it was, everyone would fight with all their might. After the amputation, he did not stop, but continued to move forward with the troops.
The Western Route Army suffered heavy losses under the pursuit of Ma Bufang and others, but Yan Fusheng served as the political commissar of the headquarters teaching regiment at this critical juncture, and led the troops to fight to the death with the enemy together with the regiment commander Du Yide.
However, due to the enemy's strong strength and fierce firepower, they could only retreat into the Qilian Mountains under the huge disparity.
As soon as they entered this desolate place, they were faced with the challenge of survival, and the danger of starvation and freezing to death threatened them at all times. In order to avoid the enemy's tracking, they can only go out day and night, looking for a chance of survival.
Ma Jiajun's pursuers set up many checkpoints along the way from Jiuquan to Liangzhou to hunt down the scattered Red Army. Yan Fusheng and the others had just arrived at a village, and before they had time to catch their breath, they were scattered by the enemy's cavalry.
In the days that followed, he walked the Gobi Desert with difficulty, even begging to survive.
After a month of hardship, he finally arrived at the bank of the Yellow River in Zhongwei County, Ningxia, at this moment the Yellow River gradually melted, and his heart surged with endless emotion. Finally, in March 1937, Yan Fusheng reunited with the organization in Gansu, and at that moment, he burst into tears, which was the second time he had found the organization.
In March 1938, he was ordered to return to the 717th Regiment of the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army as a political commissar, and quickly rushed to the anti-Japanese front.
In 1939, in order to strengthen the defense of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, the 359 Brigade was transferred back to Yan'an, and Yan Fusheng immediately devoted himself to the battle to defend the border area, successfully smashing the enemy's attack on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region.
At this time, Yan Fusheng was close to 40 years old, and he could only use one arm every day, so his life was very inconvenient, so the old superior ** arranged for a female Red Army soldier named Ma Yixiang to take care of him, creating an opportunity for the two.
The relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and they entered the palace of marriage in early 1941. There is a famous ** during the Anti-Japanese War, three people in the middle of the war have firm eyes and look at the camera with a smile, they are the one-armed general Peng Qingyun, the one-armed general Zuo Qi and Yan Fusheng.
When the 359 Brigade was sent to Nanniwan to carry out production, Yan Fusheng also joined, and he and the new regiment commander were stationed in Nanniwan and lived in the camp with the majority of soldiers.
In May 1941, the Commander-in-Chief visited Nanniwan and was pleasantly surprised to see the great transformation of this place. When meeting with Yan Fusheng and other cadres, he encouraged everyone to create a rich life with their own hands, and wrote a special letter to praise Yan Fusheng and other officials.
In the War of Liberation, Yan Fusheng also achieved remarkable results. After the liberation of Jinzhou, Liao Yaoxiang attempted to seize Montenegro in search of an inward escape route, but the PLA quickly responded.
At that time, the weather was already very cold, the troops had not yet received winter clothes, and the local ** had just raised some. Yan Fusheng came to the front line and mobilized everyone: "Sweat more today, bleed less tomorrow!" ”
After the battle began, the vanguard of Liao Yaoxiang's corps quickly approached the warning position, and according to his plan, it would only take one day to conquer Montenegro. However, the reality was that they managed to conquer only one alert position in a whole day.
Immediately after that, the enemy's "Mustang" group quickly attacked, shells rained down, and the situation of the position was very serious. Under these circumstances, Yan Fusheng and others decisively ordered the mountain artillery battalion to carry out a fierce bombardment of the high ground occupied by the enemy, and ordered the 82nd regimental battalion of the reserve and other troops to launch a counterattack.
In this fierce battle, the fighters put up desperate resistance, and deafening killing sounds sounded from the positions. In just half an hour, they managed to regain the lost ground.
When the battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate, Liao Yaoxiang made a move. He formed a vanguard of officers of the rank of lieutenant and above, launched another fierce attack, and the 101 heights were once again conquered.
This means that the gateway to Montenegro will be opened, and the commander of the 10th Column, Liang Xingchu, came directly to the front line of the 28th Division. Yan Fusheng was worried about the safety of the commander, and immediately persuaded: "Commander Liang, you better avoid it." ”
Liang Xingchu didn't care, and Yan Fusheng also made up his mind to win: "You must recapture the position!" "The 28th Division successfully completed the defensive task under the command of Yan Fusheng.
However, when you look at the highlands, they are devastated, the shelling has cut off a two-meter-thick layer of soil, the trees have turned into black stumps, and the entire mountain field is covered with the corpses of the dead.
Yan Fusheng took off his military hat and mourned for his fallen comrades, tears welling up instantly. After the 10th Column was reorganized into the 47th Army of the People's Liberation Army, Yan Fusheng assumed the post of deputy division commander, and he led the troops to the south to eliminate the bandits in the Xiangxi area.
After years of honors and outstanding command ability, General Yan Fusheng was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955. This one-armed god of war later shouldered the heavy responsibilities of the second political commissar of the Hunan Military Region and the deputy political commissar of the Guangzhou Military Region.
On April 7, 1984, he passed away peacefully in Guangzhou at the age of 80. Although the war was ruthless, Yan Fusheng's fearless spirit will forever be recorded in history, and his heroic deeds are worthy of being praised by our generations.
Mei Xingwu, a one-armed general, had a glorious life and was mourned twice during his lifetime. Ye Jiefu has twice praised the one-armed fighter Yan Fusheng. Let's pay tribute to these heroic warriors together!
