"You have not yet drawn a line with the opposition! How can you let him live at home? "In November 1973, outside the door of a courtyard house in Beijing, several men and women surrounded a middle-aged man and whispered.
Although they spoke quietly, they were heard by an old general sitting in the room. He couldn't help but turn his head sideways and follow the sound out of the window. However, there was only the light of the stars and a few vague black shadows twitching under his cloudy eyes.
He rubbed his already moist eyes and called his daughter and son-in-law to him: "Children, my matter has not yet been finalized, in order not to cause trouble to you, I have decided to move out and live in .......""So, who is this old general?
Suffering from an eye disease and needing to be taken care of by his family, why did he insist on moving out of his daughter's house?
This valiant veteran general, named Wan Yi, was an outstanding Communist Party member and an outstanding member of the Communist Party of China. He was born in 1907 in Dalian, Liaoning Province, to a Manchu farming family, and was originally named Wan Yunhe, later renamed Wan Yi.
He was smart and studious, and was later admitted to the Army Sergeant School of the Northeast Army, and after graduation, he became Zhang Xueliang's subordinate, serving as a second lieutenant adjutant and an ordnance officer of the Shenyang Beida Battalion.
Wan Yi followed Zhang Xueliang to Nanjing to take up his post, during which he became acquainted with the communist Liu Lanbo, and gradually understood the revolutionary ideas of the CCP and the principles of the workers' and peasants' revolution. In 1936, he became the commander of the 109th Lieutenant Colonel of the 627th Division of the Northeast Army and began to secretly carry out anti-Japanese rescue work.
However, shortly after the "Xi'an Double 12 Incident", Wan Yi was imprisoned and implicated.
Wan Yi, commander of the Northeast Army, was imprisoned for nine months before returning to the battle at the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War and participating in the Battle of Nanjing. Although the whole regiment died heroically when the enemy was outnumbered, only Wan Yi was lucky to survive.
He then secretly joined the Chinese Communist Party and became a special party member. In May 1938, the Japanese army forcibly landed in Lianyungang, and after nearly three months of smart games and brave fighting, the Northeast Army led by Wan Yi successfully defeated it and drove it out of Lianyungang.
Wan Yi, this name in the Lianyungang area, has become the mouth of the common people "not afraid of 10,000, just afraid of 10,000 (Yi)". His bravery and resourcefulness terrified the Japanese in the Battle of Lianyungang, and he was known as a hero who was "as strong as a steel city and as solid as gold".
Since then, Wan Yi's name has become a household name, and his heroic deeds have been widely spread. However, there was always a revolutionary fervor in his heart, and his heart belonged to the communist cause wherever he was.
In 1940, Wan Yi initiated it together with Commander Chang Enduo, who was also enthusiastic about the patriotic cause"Hoe rape campaign"。However, while the movement was in full swing across the country, Wan Yi was severely suppressed by the Kuomintang reactionaries.
In February 1941, Wan Yi was imprisoned again. However, after a long period of captivity, Wan Yi's illusions with the Kuomintang had been shattered. Just one day before he was about to be executed, he managed to escape from prison and get in touch with the Chinese Communist Party.
Then, Wan Yi accepted the work deployment of the CCP **, began to transform and reorganize his 111th Division of the Northeast Army, and finally succeeded in guiding this unit under the banner of the Communist Party.
Since then, Wan Yi has officially bid farewell to the "shackles" of the Kuomintang and grown into an excellent Communist Party fighter.
In June 1945, Wan Yi, a young Communist Party member, was elected as an alternate member of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China for his outstanding performance. Since then, he has been deeply appreciated by the leaders, whether it is the War of Liberation or the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he has always rushed to the forefront, personally led the troops, and fought bravely.
His outstanding military exploits earned him the rank of lieutenant general after liberation, which he deservedly deserved. However, due to the obstruction of domestic reactionary forces, the valiant general suffered endless setbacks for the next two decades, only to be reused in 1977.
Why, then, did this outstanding general face so many difficulties in the changing times? How did he get through those long and difficult years?
Character determines fate" is the best way to describe General Wan Yi. His personality is second to none, especially in the "slap" incident. In September 1936, General Wan Yi, as the head of the regiment, led the team to carry out an armed parade to commemorate the "918" National Shame Day.
However, such behavior was not approved of by diehards within the KMT, who often sabotaged such activities. The sabotage was carried out by a major political trainer.
When everyone was not paying attention, he quietly tore down a poster promoting the Anti-Japanese War. Coincidentally, as soon as he tore it off, he ran into Wan Yi. Wan Yi, a political trainer, immediately searched for a poster from him.
The two had a fierce argument because of this, and Wan Yi, who had a strong sense of justice but a hot temper, waved his arm in a hurry, and slapped him in the face with a loud slap. Originally, this was just a trivial matter within the army, but I didn't expect the news to be reported to Lao Jiang by someone with ill intentions.
Under Chiang Kai-shek's questioning, Zhang Xueliang ostensibly admitted that there was a regiment commander in the Northeast Army who was reactionary, but in fact did not deal with Wan Yi. However, Chiang Kai-shek secretly wrote down this account.
Next, Wan Yi was interviewed by Mrs. **, an American journalist, who was deeply interested in Wan Yi's deeds in the War of Resistance and interviewed him during a trip with the army.
The carriage was crowded with Kuomintang officers and soldiers and reactionary spies. However, the young Wan Yi was not aware of this, and he firmly believed that there was no need to worry about the problem from the perspective of national and national justice.
He firmly stated: "The Chinese are killing each other, it is simply absurd!" We should be unanimous with the outside world, and it is our responsibility to resist Japan! When Helen asked him what he thought of Chiang Kai-shek, he bluntly stated: "He was promoted not by virtue of ability and the support of his subordinates, but by the support of certain social connections to obtain a high ......."He resolutely expressed his determination to fight the Japanese cause: if Chiang Kai-shek continued to compromise with the Japanese, they would unite all the forces willing to resist Japan, turn the pieces into a whole, and retake their hometown in the northeast.
Helen was deeply moved by Wan Yi's blunt remarks, and she still admires the young officer years later. His "trip to China" was published in a journal founded by the American Communists in Shanghai, and through its operation, it attracted widespread attention.
This made Lao Jiang very hateful, and he wrote down another account for Wan Yi in his heart. As time passed, Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned for longer and longer, and Wan Yi could not avoid the fate of being imprisoned.
Despite his many military exploits, Chiang understated him and tried to kill him on several occasions. If Wan Yi was repeatedly attacked by reactionaries during this period because of his upright character and insistence on justice, then why did he suffer unjustly after liberation?
Since 1952, Wan Yi has been assigned to be responsible for the production of national defense and military industry, and went to the Soviet Union with Chen Geng and other leading comrades to discuss cutting-edge issues.
In accordance with the instructions of the leading comrades, our country must develop atomic bombs and missiles as soon as possible, but due to technical limitations, we need the help of the USSR for the time being.
As General Wan Yi, who is in charge of specific work, he and his colleagues are more sensitive to the direction of political relations between the two countries. In late June 1959, a letter from the CPSU made everyone aware that Khrushchev had the intention of unilaterally tearing up the cooperation agreement.
When he learned that the Second Machinery Department of the Nuclear Industry was facing an important and urgent problem, Minister Song Renqiang was very anxious, immediately found Wan Yi and insisted that he go to Lushan to report to Marshal *** and Mr. Peng.
Although Wan Yi felt that his rank was not high enough and that he was busy with work, he was still impressed by the minister's determination and decided to go with him. Eventually, they arrived at Lushan on July 15.
After going up the mountain, the two of them first reported the incident to Nie Shuai, and then came to Mr. Peng's office. At this time, *** had just submitted a "10,000-word letter" to ***, begging the chairman for support and understanding in the following work.
After listening to the work reports of Song Renqiang and Wan Yi, Mr. Peng also talked about this matter by the way. It is rare for Wan Yi to meet Mr. Peng, who has the same upright personality as him, and it can also be said that he met a bosom friend.
In 1960, Wan Yi served in Shaanxi Province, becoming deputy director of a provincial construction committee and later deputy director of the provincial forestry department.
In 1973, after Comrade *** resumed presiding over the work, he received a letter from Wan Yi. Subsequently, under the personal instructions of Deng Gong, Wan Yi was able to regain his freedom.
Although Wan Yi originally thought that he could return to his daughter's house to recuperate in peace, the cold state of the world made him unbearable to put too much pressure on his son-in-law, so he had the idea of moving out of his daughter's house, so there was the scene at the beginning of this article.
At his request, a separate accommodation was arranged for him by the organization. In the same year, Wan Yi took up the post of consultant of the General Logistics Department.
The wind can't blow down the sun, and the dark clouds can't lock in the spring light. "In October 1979, all of General Wan Yi's problems were rehabilitated. How many 20 years of waiting are there for life?
When the long-lost notice came, he couldn't help but cry. This long wait, and the drive of hope, accompanied him through many dark nights, but he never gave in in the difficult years.
He has always adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts, and now, he can finally smile at the belated dawn. Subsequently, General Wan Yi attended the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and was elected as a member of the ** Advisory Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In 1987, General Wan Yi retired with honor. In July of the following year, he was awarded the Red Star Meritorious Medal of the First Class of the Chinese People's Liberation Army by the Military Commission. After retiring, General Wan Yi always adhered to his principle of seeking truth from facts in life.
When he learned from his daughter that there was inaccuracies in his non-fiction work, he immediately asked her to find several authors and point out the falsehood in the work.
He emphasized, "What several authors wrote is an affirmation and encouragement to me personally, but due to inaccuracies, it may lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings, and at the same time, it also violates the original intention of the Chinese documentary book series......."Subsequently, General Wan Yi provided several authors with the true situation about the issues involved in the article and sincerely hoped that they would make corrections.
At this time, he was in his eighties, but he still held on to his true self as he did when he was younger. At no time did he violate the truth of his heart.
General Wan Yi died of illness in Beijing in 1997 at the age of (unknown). He was a time-tested communist fighter, a proletarian revolutionary, and a prominent military commander and high-ranking general.
The general has endured the cruel trials of war and the hardships of special periods throughout his life, but he has always maintained his belief in the truth and loyalty to his beliefs, and has always insisted on forging ahead.
He used his life to contribute to the long history of China and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation until the last moment of his life. The life and deeds of General Wan Yi are deeply admired and missed.
In order not to embarrass his children, the old general moved out of his daughter's house and recuperated outside, and his son-in-law was under great pressure
