In 1942, a simple and solemn wedding was held in Yan'an.
After the wedding, the groom, dressed in a new military uniform, carefully pushed open the door and stepped into the cave. However, he did not rush to remove the red hijab from the bride, but sat quietly by the wall, lost in thought.
The bride waited for a long time, but the groom did not move, she began to feel that she was not liked by the groom, so she asked aggrievedly: "Since you don't like me, why do you want to marry me at a wedding?" ”
The groom immediately explained, "No, I'm just worried about scaring you." The person who said this was the famous founding general - "one-armed general" He Bingyan.
What's going on here? In the midst of a crowd, two people meet, fall in love, and move towards marriage, which should have been a joyful affair. But why would General He Bingyan say such a thing?
He Bingyan was born in 1913 to a poor family and grew up in the countryside of Liujiachang, Hubei Province. When he was 9 years old, his mother died because the family did not have enough money to see a doctor. Then, his hometown suffered a catastrophe, and in the face of an unchangeable predicament, his father He Xuewen could only give away He Bingyan's brother and sister. 11-year-old He Bingyan was also forced to go to the landlord's house to graze cattle just to get food rations.
During his childhood, He Bingyan experienced hardships, and these difficult memories were deeply seared in his heart. Not only was he often hungry, but he was also physically beaten and verbally scolded.
In 1929, He Bingyan witnessed his father join the Red Army, and at this moment he realized that in order to change the current predicament, he must fight. However, at that time, due to severe malnutrition, He Bingyan was extremely weak, only more than 1.5 meters tall when he was 16 years old, and weighed only more than 80 pounds.
Therefore, He Bingyan's father did not agree with him to join the army, forcing He Bingyan to secretly follow the ranks of the Red Army.
He Bingyan was eventually discovered by Marshal **, and despite his short stature, Marshal ** thought he was very brave and decided to keep him.
In the beginning, he was assigned the job of a logistics propagandist. As the 4th Army arrived in various places, He Bingyan was always able to quickly sweep the propaganda slogans of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army all over the streets and alleys, attracting many aspiring young people to join the army. 
However, He Bingyan is not content with just taking on the role of propagandist, he is eager to participate in the battle and defeat the enemy like other fighters.
Fortunately, he soon had such an opportunity, and in this battle he excelled, winning the high praise of the ** marshal.
Fight to fame. In 1930, the relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were extremely tense, and our party's base areas were brutally "encircled and suppressed," resulting in the innocent sacrifices of many revolutionaries.
At this critical moment, in 1930, fierce battles broke out between the troops under the command of Marshal ** and the enemy troops. In order to quickly resolve the battle, it was decided to send He Bingyan to the Red Sixth Division to deliver orders. 
After completing the mission, He Bingyan did not immediately return to the team, but brandished his war knife and intercepted dozens of enemy troops, hoping that they would surrender.
However, the enemy did not take the seemingly weak He Bingyan in their eyes. When one of them was about to shoot He Bingyan, He Bingyan raised his knife and quickly dealt with the enemy without delay.
The remaining enemy soldiers felt a great threat under He Bingyan's hands, and then He Bingyan pulled out a grenade and forced the remaining enemy troops to surrender. This scene made He Bingyan famous on the battlefield.
The remaining enemy troops were frightened by the young He Bingyan and fled, they put down their ** one after another, held their heads in their hands, and returned to the Fourth Army with He Bingyan.
He Bingyan single-handedly captured more than 40 enemy soldiers. When he returned to the ranks with a neat column of captives, the veterans who had once called him "Mao Boy" were surprised.
This battle made He Bingyan famous in one fell swoop, and the ** marshal publicly praised him as "He Xiaolong".
Subsequently, He Bingyan officially became a member of the team and actively participated in marching and fighting.
Despite his appreciation, He Bingyan did not become complacent, but worked harder to fight the enemy. No matter how big the gap between the strength of the enemy and us is, and how luxurious the enemy's equipment is, He Bingyan always marches forward bravely and always stands at the forefront.
The Party organization attaches great importance to outstanding young people, and in addition to cultivating them in battle and marching, it also pays attention to ideological guidance and helps them expand their horizons and knowledge. He Bingyan is also one of them.
Subsequently, he was also arranged to study professional military theoretical knowledge, which gradually became an important pillar in the revolutionary cause.
One-armed general"He Bingyan's heroic deeds in the Red Army's Long March are unforgettable.
In 1934, our army suffered a failure in the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression, and led the Red Army to carry out a strategic transfer, experienced climbing snow-capped mountains, crossing grasslands, crossing the Chishui River four times, and finally successfully crossed the Jinsha River and got rid of the enemy's encirclement and interception.
The total distance of the entire march reached 25,000 miles, and finally the division was victorious at Jinggangshan.
By 1935, He Bingyan had been promoted to the commander of the Red 5th Division. At this time, the Long March team reached Wawutang in Yunnan and prepared to enter Guizhou.
However, when He Bingyan ordered to cross Wawutang, he unexpectedly encountered ** troops. The two sides engaged in fierce fighting, and the situation fell into a stalemate.
He Bingyan resolutely took the lead, single-handedly carrying machine guns and grenades, climbed the high ground, suppressed the enemy with firepower, and regained the rhythm of battle for our army.
His heroic actions inspired other fighters, and their morale was high. Although the guards repeatedly advised him to consider his own safety, He Bingyan always put the battle situation first.
However, as he was preparing to throw grenades at the nearest enemy stronghold, enemy machine guns were aimed at him.
After a dense round of bullets, He Bingyan's right arm was instantly hit, and blood flowed. Before the surrounding warriors had time to exclaim, he immediately lost consciousness and passed out in agony.
The right forearm was completely disfigured, and the upper arm was also severely damaged. In better medical conditions, it may be possible to save part of the upper limb of the right arm.
However, in the harsh battlefield environment at that time, medical conditions were extremely limited and the necessary medical equipment was lacking. Hearing the news, the guard next to him couldn't help but cry and felt deeply guilty.
He Bingyan waved his hand and asked the doctor to ** him immediately, so as not to delay the battle situation. However, there was no more anesthetic in the ranks of the Red Army.
He Bingyan smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, come on." ”
So, without any anesthesia, the doctor could only use a saw to saw, little by little, to see off the remaining flesh and bones, and the whole operation lasted a full two hours.
In the process, the other fighters couldn't bear to witness, but He Bingyan bit the towel tightly and insisted on not flinching.
* When the marshal learned of the serious wounding of He Bingyan, he personally came to visit him.
After the operation, the marshal wrapped up a few pieces of broken bones, handed them to He Bingyan, and said: "Your right arm was broken for the sake of the party and the country, it is the greatest hero." ”
After hearing these words, He Bingyan's eyes were red and he said, "Chief, I can continue to fight." ”
Despite the loss of an arm, He Bingyan's fighting spirit has not weakened. In the following battlefields, he was still the general who charged ahead, and his name spread throughout the country, becoming the famous "one-armed general".
The one-armed became He Bingyan's unique symbol, causing the enemy to flee one after another. Generals from all over the world also praised him as a brave tiger general, especially He Bingyan.
In April 1945, He Bingyan went to Yan'an to attend the "Seventh National Congress" meeting held by the Communist Party of China. Before the meeting began, he was fortunate enough to see *** He hurriedly stood up and saluted with his left hand.
** Hold He Bingyan's left hand tightly and say cordially: "You are the famous one-armed general, the hero of our army. From today onwards, I hereby grant you no longer the need to salute the military. Since then, He Bingyan has become the only general who doesn't need to salute when he sees ***.
"I'm afraid to scare you.""As the saying goes, "iron man is tender", He Bingyan, a strong and fearless tiger general, is also a little shy and shy after experiencing love. Especially on the wedding night, he did not dare to face his wife.
In 1942, He Bingyan received the task of the organization and went to Yan'an to study. There, he met Jiang Ping, a girl arranged by fate.
Once, He Bingyan came to the hospital because of a headache. When he first met the bright-eyed, always smiling female doctor, he felt a special feeling in his heart.
However, when he looked down and saw his empty right sleeve, he had no further thoughts. But when Jiang Ping learned that he was the famous person who won a great victory in Yanmen Pass, she immediately admired him.
Especially when she saw He Bingyan's empty sleeves, her admiration for him deepened, and at the same time, she also had a special emotion.
After that, every time He Bingyan came to the hospital, Jiang Ping would take care of him with his heart. The two gradually got acquainted. He Bingyan is a tall man, so he naturally has a heart for a good girl like Jiang Ping.
However, in the face of Jiang Ping, he felt very inferior, because he only had one arm, was disabled, and felt that he did not deserve Jiang Ping, so he chose to bury his love in his heart.
In the end, Jiang Ping took the initiative to confess her feelings to He Bingyan. He Bingyan opened his heart, dispelled his doubts, and started a passionate love with Jiang Ping.
Soon, the two decided to spend their lives together in Yan'an, and held a simple wedding and became a legal husband and wife.
However, no one expected that something unpleasant would happen to them on their wedding night. When the other comrades-in-arms are gone, it should be time to rest. However, He Bingyan sat motionless in his chair, not even daring to raise his head, as if he had become a piece of wood.
Jiang Ping thought that he might be tired from the day's work, so he prepared the futon and hoped that he would rest early.
Although Jiang Ping reminded him several times, He Bingyan still didn't make any moves. She thought He Bingyan was pondering something, but she didn't care, so she went to wash her face. However, when she returned, He Bingyan was still sitting in place.
Jiang Ping stepped forward and asked him what had happened. He Bingyan shook his head and said that he was fine. Jiang Ping urged him to rest again, but He Bingyan said that he was not tired.
At this time, the anger in Jiang Ping's heart exploded instantly, and she asked He Bingyan loudly: "Do you not like me?" If you don't like me, why marry me? ”
Hearing Jiang Ping's question, He Bingyan hurriedly raised his head, stood up and said to Jiang Ping: "No, no, don't think about it, I'm just afraid of scaring you." ”
Although He Bingyan explained his reasons, Jiang Ping's inner anger did not subside. She thought that He Bingyan might be worried that she would be frightened by his injured right arm, but she had known about it for a long time and was already mentally prepared.
So, Jiang Ping began to ask He Bingyan if he had anything else to hide from her.
He Bingyan nodded, stood up suddenly, and then took off his shirt. When Jiang Ping saw He Bingyan's body after taking off his shirt, she understood everything. Jiang Ping stayed where he was, and after a while, he suddenly threw himself into He Bingyan's arms and cried.
It turned out that He Bingyan had participated in many battlefield battles, and there was no intact ** on his body. He had more than a dozen bullet holes left by the enemy, and countless other wounds. He was afraid that Jiang Ping would be frightened when he saw these scars, so he sat in a stalemate all the time, not daring to make any movements.
After a period of time, Jiang Ping said to He Bingyan: "These scars are the courage and sacrifice you have paid for the revolution, and they are your honor. ”
Jiang Ping was not afraid of the scars on He Bingyan's body, because she knew that without a soldier like He Bingyan, the revolution could not be victorious.
In 1955, He Bingyan attended the award ceremony and was awarded the rank of general. After that, he returned to Sichuan to live with his wife. After they got married, Jiang Ping gave birth to five children for He Bingyan and took care of his body wholeheartedly and paid attention to the growth of the children.
However, despite his wife's careful care, He Bingyan's injured body could not support his strong heart after all.
In 1960, the "one-armed general" died at the age of 47.
Conclusion: General He Bingyan has made great contributions to the cause of the country's liberation. In the face of heavy enemy fire and serious wounds, he never flinched.
Like other predecessors who shed blood and sacrificed for the motherland, General He Bingyan gave everything for the motherland. They really exchanged their flesh and blood for the victory of the revolution.
We should always remember their heroic deeds, inherit their faith, and make our country stronger.
