Our army is known for its strict discipline, and regardless of the position, it is necessary to seek government in its position, and soldiers who do their duty are usually duly rewarded. However, there will always be special circumstances that will happen.
In Baoding, Hebei Province, a sentry intercepted an old man who was going to visit his son in the army, but the old man said bluntly: "Tell your division commander to run over." After learning the truth, the division commander severely criticized the sentry, and the sentry broke out in a cold sweat.
So, who is this old man? Why would he say such a thing? In the end, has the matter been satisfactorily resolved? Let's do it.
An old man appeared in front of the 113th Division in Baoding, Hebei Province, with a firm step and an awe-inspiring majesty. He made his way to the troop gate, but the sentry stopped him.
The old man explained that he wanted to visit his son, who was a soldier here. Although the military allows family visits, there must be relevant formalities. The soldier could only ask the old man to go back first, the old man looked anxious, he rummaged in his pockets, but did not find anything.
These behaviors made the sentry curious, but he could not let the old man go because there were no formalities. "
The old man missed his son and decided to break into the forbidden land. Although the sentry understood his feelings, he still stuck to his post and resolutely refused to let the old man enter. The old man was furious at this, and insisted that the sentry call the division commander, saying that the division commander knew him.
The sentry was worried because this little thing had alarmed the division commander, but although the old man was old, he was in good spirits, and his voice was like a bell, which made people feel that his aura was strong. The sentry then reported the situation to the division commander Pei Feizheng.
After Pei Feizheng learned the news, he instantly understood the situation, immediately left the work at hand, and rushed to the gate of the army. To the surprise of the soldiers, when he saw this seemingly ordinary old man, the division commander Pei Feizheng was both excited and ashamed.
He solemnly saluted a military salute, then held the old man's hand tightly, and said sincerely: "Old He, don't blame me for misunderstanding you." It turned out that this old man who was not amazing in appearance but had a respected status was none other than the famous General He Jian.
He has been in the military since he was a child, and he served as a guard in his early years, and his talent and ability have been highly praised by *** and ***. He Jiandu made outstanding contributions to the Agrarian Revolution, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and was awarded the rank of Major General when he was awarded the Order in 1955.
In 1970, he was serving as the deputy commander of the major general of the brigade garrison area, because he went to Baoding on a business trip, he missed his son who joined the army here, so he came up with the idea of visiting, but there was a misunderstanding.
Pei Feizheng has a deep friendship with He Jian, and they greeted him warmly as soon as they met. Subsequently, Pei Feizheng took He Jian into the troops, and on the way, he also reminded the sentry, so that the sentry couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing it.
This arouses the reader's curiosity, why did He Jian, who held a key position in the army, not wear a military uniform when visiting his son? At the same time, what did Pei Feizheng say to the sentry?
All of this is closely related to He Jian's personality, let's start with his life. He Jian was born in an ordinary farming family, although his parents were farmers, they were hardworking and capable, so He Jian's living conditions were not bad when he was a child.
In that turbulent era, Chinese society was shrouded in darkness by the power of Western powers and warlords, and the lives of ordinary people were even more miserable. Although He Fitness is in a remote place, he has the whole country in his heart.
He understood that only the overthrow of those forces that oppressed the people could bring lasting peace and happiness. However, his parents were against it, hoping that he would learn a trade and be self-sufficient.
However, He Jian was already deeply influenced by Marxist thought, and he was determined to devote himself to the revolution and contribute his own strength to the country and the people.
He Jian's revolutionary ideal was to join the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and although his parents wanted him to join the army, He Jian firmly chose his own path. In order to realize his dreams, he resolutely went out to study the trade, and although his parents were a little worried, they were relieved by He Jian's determination.
He Jian's performance in the Red Army also proved that he made the right choice, and his flexibility and diligence allowed him to make great achievements on the battlefield and accomplish many difficult tasks.
In the army, He Jian gradually rose to prominence, and because of his bravery and talent, he was introduced to the Chinese Communist Youth League, and soon after met his nobleman, *
In his position as a guard, he made selfless dedication and heroically saved people. In 1930, he was already serving as a squad leader in the communications class, and won praise for his steady and steady style.
When *** came to inspect and saw He Jian, he suddenly stopped and looked at him carefully. He Jian was a little nervous, worried that he had done something wrong to make the chief angry.
However, ** smiled and said to him: "This little comrade, how about you come to be my guard?" This became an important turning point in He Jian's life.
**I had heard of this brave and witty young player for a long time, and when we first met, he felt that He Jian was in good spirits, so he hoped that he could join his team. Since then, He Jian has been by his side, for five years.
At first, he was not familiar with the work of a guard, but he was very diligent, and it didn't take long to master the work habits of *** and also successfully arrange his daily life.
While fighting day and night for the revolutionary cause, He Jian tried his best to lighten his burden. In the Battle of Huangguang in 1932, He Jian even almost died for it.
What's going on here? It turned out that after the start of the Battle of Huangguang, the situation was very tense for a while, and in order to thoroughly understand the progress of the war, ** decided to go to the front line to inspect in person.
He Jian was the first to stop ***'s action, and he understood the danger of the front line. Although He Jian used to be a signal soldier, he still took the initiative to ask to go to the front line for reconnaissance.
However, he believes that He Jian's actions will waste time and may lead to unnecessary. In the end, He Jian insisted on protecting him by ***'s side. As He Jian expected, he was quickly recognized by the enemy because of his neat clothes that were different from the soldiers who were fighting.
In the rain of bullets, ** calmly analyzed the forces of both sides while quickly dodging, while He Jian keenly observed the surrounding environment and was always on guard against possible dangers.
With his heroic deeds, He Jian saved ***'s life. At the moment of the grenade, he did not hesitate to pounce on *** and used his body to resist the shrapnel behind **.
Although the sound of the air flow was deafening, under the protection of He Jian, ** was safe and sound. However, because of this operation, He Jian was blown to a blur of flesh and blood, and several ribs were also blown off.
After several days of resuscitation, he finally woke up. Afterwards, ** sighed deeply: "If it weren't for He Jian, I might have gone to see Marx." ”
As a result, the trust in He Jian is increasing day by day, and he is often entrusted with important tasks. In 1935, ** gave him the important task of escorting Zhang Guotao to Lianghekou to meet ***.
At that time, at the critical juncture of the Long March, the meeting of the Red First Army and the Red Fourth Army was very important, which could directly affect the life and death of our army. Putting He Jian in charge of this task is enough to prove his extreme trust in He Jian.
Of course, He Jian did not fail to live up to this trust, he was very cautious along the way, not only successfully eliminated all kinds of dangers, but also carefully arranged Zhang Guotao's daily life.
At the end of June, they arrived at the mouth of the two rivers without incident, nearly two weeks ahead of schedule. At that time, ** was very excited after seeing Zhang Guotao, and immediately invited him to eat together, and shouted to accompany He Jian to dine together.
However, He Jian thought that he was just an escort and could not eat at the same table with the chief. Later, ** and *** both praised He Jian and said many times that they were moved by his serious and responsible attitude.
He Jian bravely killed the enemy in the Anti-Japanese War and made great achievements. On July 7, 1937, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, and He Jian received an order to go to Shanxi as a team leader, responsible for anti-Japanese work.
In Shanxi, he led a small number of recruits to engage with the well-armed Japanese invaders many times, and repeatedly won more with less, annihilating hundreds of Japanese elite troops. Due to his outstanding achievements, he was promoted to battalion commander and regiment commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
During the Anti-Japanese War, he devoted almost all his time and energy to fighting, and even on his wedding day in 1942, he chose to continue to fight and kill the enemy, leaving his wife Yang Hongzhao alone in the empty house.
With the joint efforts of selfless fighters like He Jian, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was finally won. However, the outbreak of the civil war led to the war of liberation.
In the War of Liberation, He Jian's achievements were also outstanding, and he served as the commander of the Lunan Theater and the commander of the East China Field Army. He personally went to the battlefield to command major battles such as Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Jinan, and made great contributions to the cause of national liberation.
In 1955, He Jian was awarded the rank of major general, and since then he has made continuous contributions to the construction of the army and has made many achievements. He served as commander of the Jilin Provincial Military Region, deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Communications, and advisor to the Shenyang Military Region.
In 1970, He Jian was already the deputy commander of the garrison area of the brigade university, but he always maintained a simple style of life and always kept in mind his mother's teaching of low-key life, so even if his status was extremely high, he never put on a show, nor did he use power for personal gain.
Once, he came to Baoding, Hebei Province on business, and after the matter was completed, he took time to visit his son, who joined the army in the 113th Division.
In order not to alarm the local troops and avoid his son receiving preferential treatment, he chose to take off his military uniform before leaving. However, because he was not wearing a military uniform and forgot to carry his military ID, he touched a nail in front of the sentry standing guard.
Fortunately, the division commander Pei Fei appeared in time to resolve this little episode. Afterwards, he also specifically criticized the sentry, emphasized the identity of General He Jian, and asked the sentry to let him go directly in the future.
After being criticized, the sentinel appeared a little nervous. However, General He Jian praised the sentry and explained to him what had happened, telling him not to take it to heart.
He Jian led by example and won widespread respect for his honest and low-key style. Despite being a member of the army, he chose to visit his son in civilian clothes to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
This little episode instead highlights his noble qualities. On May 4, 2008, He Jian passed away due to illness, and his departure was deeply regretted by the whole country.
As an old man who has accompanied the Republic through decades of ups and downs, He Jian's career has been full of twists and turns, but he has always adhered to his principles and finally ended his journey with honor.
