Fate is wonderful. In the people's armed forces, there was once a wonderful coincidence. The two revolutionary generals had the same name and surname, and at the same time joined the Red Army in the same year. After the statehood, they were awarded the same military rank.
Even after retirement, they lived in the same dry retreat in Changsha. Their names are all called Fang Guonan.
In order to work smoothly in the future, **I ask you to carry forward your style and change your name. The older Fang Guoan immediately changed the word "south" to "an" to show the difference.
Fang Guoan began to devote himself to the revolution in 1930, when he was only 17 years old, although he was immature, but he was brave and courageous. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was assigned to work in Lin Shuai's army and served as the director of the political department and political commissar of the regiment.
Between 1937 and 1943, Fang Guoan led his troops to participate in many ambushes against the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi, killing and wounding hundreds of enemies and achieving brilliant results.
However, in order to retaliate, the Japanese army mobilized 40,000 troops to attack the base of the Eighth Route Army at night. Fang Guoan's headquarters did not have time to transfer, and fell into the enemy's encirclement, and the situation was very dangerous!
At the critical moment, the regiment commander stepped forward and led dozens of soldiers to meet the Japanese army, divert the attention of the enemy army, and buy time for Fang and other comrades to evacuate. The regimental commander died heroically, he was only newly married at that time, and even the child was not yet born.
In his later years, Fang Guoan always couldn't help crying whenever he recalled this incident, and he often sighed that his life was exchanged for his life by the head of the regiment. In 1943, he went to Yan'an to study, and during the Liberation War, he served as a senior cadre in Dongye, and once swept through South China with the army, with outstanding achievements.
Fang Guonan joined the army in 1930, when he was only 16 years old, and his direct supervisor was Mr. Peng. In 1935, he followed his troops to northern Shaanxi and ended a long long march, only to be surrounded by enemy troops before he could catch his breath.
The two armies fought, Fang Guonan was shot in the leg, and his comrades-in-arms immediately carried him to the field hospital, and after a brief consultation with the doctor, it was decided to amputate him.
His name was Fang Guonan, and he was a staunch revolutionary fighter. He was wounded in a battle on the march, but in order not to delay the movement of the army, he firmly refused to have his leg amputated.
The doctors could only keep him along** and surgically remove his warhead. However, the Red Army was desperately short of medical supplies and there was no *** available, so he could only accept ** while he was sober.
He didn't say a word the whole time, and the firmness of his willpower was amazing. Half a year later, Fang Guonan's wound healed, but left a permanent scar. Seeing this scar, his comrades-in-arms were very distressed, but Fang Guonan saw it very openly, he said that this was his "military merit medal", his honor, and a symbol of his revolutionary determination and will.
During the War of Liberation, Fang Guonan worked in the East Field. Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he and Ye Shuai, two Hunan villagers who had a deep fate, were both rated as major generals. When Ye Shuai reviewed the list of awards, he thought that the officers of the Military Commission had made a mistake.
But when he learned the truth, he couldn't help but be amazed, saying that there seemed to be an indissoluble bond between the two generals.
After retiring, the two generals invariably chose a cadre retreat center in Hunan to recuperate, and their lives were low-key and consistent, always wearing military uniforms without epaulettes and collar badges when they went out.
Among them, General Fang Guonan died in 1997 at the age of 82; General Fang Guoan died in 2011 at the age of 98. His last wish is to make the funeral simple and not to cause trouble to **.
Two brave and fearless generals, with the same name and surname, have experienced the war-torn years together and experienced the test of life and death. They were unswerving, always took the party as the key link, and wholeheartedly charged into battle for the revolutionary cause, finally overcoming numerous difficulties, winning brilliant victories, and realizing the great ideal of building a red China.
Their great achievements have enabled hundreds of millions of people to shake off the shackles of feudal forces and live and work in peace and contentment. Under their guidance, the Chinese nation has risen from suffering and welcomed a bright future with a new look.
Their deeds deserve to be remembered forever!
