We appreciate your support. You may not have thought that Jiang Tengjiao, the youngest major general in New China, wished before his death, that he just wanted to wear a 55-style military uniform again.
Jiang Tengjiao, who died of illness in Beijing on May 8, 2009, was the youngest major general at the first military rank conferment ceremony in New China. Such a meritorious hero with great military achievements, but before he died, he just wanted to wear a military uniform?
What is the special significance of the five-five military uniform? Why did he take off his uniform? Before ***, please click the follow button in the lower right corner of ** to support it.
Jiang Tengjiao was born in 1919 in the context of China's shattered mountains and rivers and the displacement of people, but unlike most people at the time, he was not depressed by the difficult life as a child, but looked for hope again and again.
Jiang Tengjiao's hometown is in Hubei, and this area has been in war for a long time, with corruption, rampant bandits, warlords, and foreign invasions. When he was young, Jiang Tengjiao even had enough food and clothing to be a luxury, let alone study and study.
However, he did not compromise on this. After a life-changing experience, he found his direction in life, even without a formal education.
On November 13, 1927, under the guidance of the spirit of the 87th Conference, nearly 30,000 peasant rebel troops launched an attack on Huang'an County under the leadership of ***.
Despite the difficult conditions, holding high the banner of revolution made the Jute Uprising another major revolutionary action after the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising. The Jute Uprising dealt a major blow to the Kuomintang reactionaries in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and also left a deep impression on the young Jiang Tengjiao, so that he planted the seeds of participating in the revolution in his heart.
In 1930, three years after the end of the Jute Uprising, Jiang Tengjiao, who was only 12 years old, finally joined the party organization after several rounds. He was too young to participate in the fight, but fortunately, with the acceptance of the Chinese Communist Youth League, Jiang Tengjiao finally had a chance to walk on the right path.
Although Jiang Tengjiao's life is full of hardships, this makes him more mature than his peers. He studied knowledge and revolutionary ideas with greater enthusiasm and strived to improve himself.
With his continuous efforts, Jiang Tengjiao's growth rate is amazing. Jiang Tengjiao was appointed as the captain of the Huang'an County Children's Regiment, although this position did not have much power in those chaotic years.
But he didn't care about that, on the contrary, being able to gain the trust of the organization made him even more motivated. Although he was only a children's group, Jiang Tengjiao was constantly promoted through several correct choices, and was even able to participate in the revolutionary actions of adults.
His intelligence and courage to take responsibility made him the best description of Jiang Tengjiao when he was a child. The times create heroes, and Jiang Tengjiao's efforts have finally paid off. Although age still restricts his movements, due to the tight front-line war, the little Jiang Tengjiao was also forced to go to the battlefield.
This was a helpless move under the extreme situation at that time, although the organization allowed Jiang Tengjiao to participate, but in order to ensure his safety, the leaders only asked Jiang Tengjiao to do some combat preparation and auxiliary work.
Jiang Tengjiao has worked very hard in logistics because he believes that even the most mundane work can become a big deal. Not only is he quick-witted, but he is also quick-witted, often preparing before the leader gives orders.
There were even a few times when he had predicted the enemy's movements in advance with his keen observation and judgment. Jiang Tengjiao's talent and wisdom made him widely recognized and praised in the Red 25th Army, and he became a "genius boy" in the hearts of soldiers in ten miles and eight towns.
As Jiang Tengjiao grew older, his increasingly apparent talent allowed him to play an important role in the army. However, just when our army was encircled and suppressed by the Kuomintang and forced to start the Long March, Jiang Tengjiao was injured in a battle and could not keep up with the large army.
This forced him to stay in the Soviet zone and was left behind by the Red Army, which meant that he lost contact with ***. However, Jiang Tengjiao did not give up there, and he actively looked for a new revolutionary team.
Soon, he joined the newly established Red 28th Army, which grew rapidly under the leadership of Jiang Tengjiao and expanded to more than 3,000 in just a few years, although it was a logistics and militia force of less than 1,000 men.
Jiang Tengjiao's outstanding performance allowed him to join the Chinese Communist Party when he was just 18 years old. Although Chiang Kai-shek's main forces of encirclement and suppression pursued the large forces of the Red Army, the remaining troops were frantically besieged by reactionary forces.
With his wisdom and courage, Jiang Tengjiao successfully commanded the troops and won many victories in defending the achievements of the revolution. As he grows more and more important, new tasks await him.
Jiang Tengjiao received the task of serving as an instructor of a certain regiment of the New Fourth Army, which was a full recognition of his ability by the organization, and it was also a severe challenge. As a first-time leader of the team, what kind of report card will he deliver?
The organization understood that Jiang Tengjiao was still very young, and although the team was handed over to him, it was more out of trust. Of course, the organization is also prepared for the possibility that he may make mistakes.
However, everyone was surprised that Jiang Tengjiao did not make any major mistakes in this test, and even in the battle against the Japanese army, he led the troops to successive victories as a commander and fighter of the regimental headquarters.
In an encounter, Jiang Tengjiao relied on the combat skills he had accumulated over the years to lead a company of soldiers to successfully annihilate more than 200 Japanese troops. His unwavering and outstanding performance won the attention of his superiors, and he was appointed deputy director of the political department of a regiment of the New Fourth Army.
Although it is only a deputy position, the nature of the work of the Political Department makes this appointment particularly important, indicating that the organization has cultivated Jiang Tengjiao as an important leadership force.
After the war, Jiang Tengjiao served as the director of the political department of a division of the Fourth Field Army, and in the subsequent Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign, he always remained calm and led the troops to victory after victory.
After 1949, Jiang Tengjiao lost more fighting opportunities to show his talent, but he married Li Yanping and had 8 children, becoming the envy of people at that time.
In 1955, Jiang Tengjiao was awarded the rank of major general, which was the first award in New China, and he became the youngest major general at that time. At that time, there was a saying in the army that Jiang Tengjiao should get a higher rank, because he was only 36 years old, and as a general, he was definitely a young man; Moreover, some people firmly believe that if the war continues, General Jiang will certainly be able to achieve greater achievements.
But this statement is just speculation, but it is deeply imprinted in Jiang Tengjiao's heart. On the one hand, he enjoys the praise of others, and on the other hand, he feels indignant about himself.
After accepting the rank of major general, Jiang Tengjiao became even more arrogant. He treats his subordinates extremely badly, and even forms gangs in the workplace, creating a bad atmosphere.
Not only that, once someone accuses Jiang Tengjiao, he will take them as targets and lead his henchmen to smear them.
Jiang Tengjiao's behavior made many colleagues and leaders of the military region feel dissatisfied, and as the army's rectification campaign progressed, his problems quickly attracted the attention of the organization. Due to the special nature of the army, Jiang Tengjiao's misdeeds are even known to ***.
However, considering his outstanding contribution in the War of Resistance and his contribution as the backbone of the army for many years, ** only criticized his problems and did not punish him.
The organization gave him many opportunities to correct his mistakes, but he mistakenly believed that the party and the people could not exert influence on him. In the end, he actually wanted to collude with his accomplices, violate the law and army discipline, and betray the people.
No one knew what he was thinking at the time, but in any case, he had already violated the laws and regulations and military discipline many times, and the organization could only intervene and punish him according to the law.
In 1973, Jiang Tengjiao was imprisoned for multiple crimes, and all his former honors disappeared, affecting his family. His wife, Li Yanping, was forced to be sent to a farm in Hubei Province on suspicion of being involved in related activities.
Jiang Tengjiao not only lost all his official positions, but even his military status was also deprived, and he was ruthlessly deprived of the military uniform he had worn for most of his life. Despite repeated expressions of remorse in prison, personal crimes must be duly punished, and he can only spend long days in prison.
Jiang Tengjiao, a soldier who fought for half his life, did not resist the ** of power and vanity, and was finally sentenced to 18 years in prison for violating laws and disciplines. And his wife Li Yanping, although she has been on the farm for many years, she has not really participated in Jiang Tengjiao's affairs.
After a careful investigation by the organization, she was released and returned home, retaining her previous job and enjoying some benefits when she retired. She was relieved to hear her husband's final sentencing results, after all, the matter had finally come to an end.
Jiang Tengjiao spent several years in Qincheng Prison, and as the years passed, his physical health gradually deteriorated, and his daily life was difficult due to lung diseases.
Although his actions violated the law and violated the law, after all, he was an important contributor to New China, and the organization would not sit idly by and let him fend for himself. In the face of Jiang Tengjiao, who was seriously ill, the organization specially arranged for a doctor to carry out **.
He felt the care and warmth of the party again and again, and deeply regretted it. However, at this time, he was already entering his old age and his physical condition was very weak.
Considering that Jiang Tengjiao had entered his advanced age, the organization decided to release him on medical parole, allowing him to go home to recuperate, and at the same time allowing him to reunite with his family. After Jiang Tengjiao returned to his family, he had long lost the domineering spirit of his youth, and he and his wife Li Yanping spent their old age in a small courtyard in Beijing.
However, in 2009, Jiang's condition deteriorated, and even the top doctors in Beijing were powerless to save his life. Under the torture of illness, Jiang Tengjiao even had confusion, which was not a good sign.
Jiang Tengjiao was delirious many times and even fell into a coma for a long time, but he survived strongly every time. At this time, Li Yanping realized that her husband still had unfulfilled wishes.
At the bedside, Li Yanping called Jiang Tengjiao softly. Jiang Tengjiao raised his hand tremblingly, and opened his mouth with great difficulty, saying his last wish. "I hope ......Wear the five-five military uniform again. ”
Jiang Tengjiao's words confused everyone present, including his children. But Li Yanping understands that this is his final salvation. Although the country let Jiang Tengjiao go, he himself has been tormented by his conscience.
He spent half of his life in the army, but he ended up going astray, which was the greatest stain on his brilliant and brilliant life, and it was an irrefutable shame. The 55-style military uniform was worn when he was awarded the title, which was his last repentance for the party, the motherland, and the people.
Jiang Tengjiao's remorse is touching, but it must be clear that the sins he committed are also very serious. Whether or not to wear military uniforms again will require careful discussion in the organization before a decision can be made.
According to Jiang Tengjiao's idea, Li Yanping wrote a letter with his children and sent it to **. However, in the process, they encountered many difficulties and twists and turns.
Luckily, though, the letter was eventually delivered. As a revolutionary general, Jiang Tengjiao has made great contributions to the country. However, he also poked a big basket.
The organization was unsure what to do with him for a moment. After many rounds of discussions, the organization decided to allow Jiang Tengjiao to wear a military uniform one last time, but this was only a symbolic act to show respect for Jiang Tengjiao's efforts.
Li Yanping personally put on a five-five-style military uniform for Jiang Tengjiao, fulfilling his last wish, which is the best commemoration of this complicated new Chinese general. Jiang Tengjiao's life is full of twists and turns and challenges, from becoming famous at a young age, to outstanding military achievements, and then to later going astray, his story is thought-provoking.
He was born in the war-torn years and made great contributions to New China, which we must remember. However, we must also condemn him for undermining the party organization and the state.
Jiang Tengjiao's death is irreversible, but his experience has sounded the alarm for us. Everyone is enthusiastic, but only by not forgetting the original intention can we go further.
