The general's revolutionary career can be said to be both obscure and colorful. Obscurity refers to Yan Kui being too low-key; Colorful refers to the fact that Yan Kui has done too much important work.
Yan Kui. Today, let's talk about the story of this general......
Speaking of Yan Kuo's personal ability, the most noteworthy thing is:
Very good at reforming the old army.In 1930, Yang Hucheng led the 17th Route Army into Shaanxi, and it was at this time that Yan Kuyao was sent by the party to work in the department, and successively served as the head of the 2nd Regiment of the Xi'an Pacification Office and the commander of the 1057th Regiment of the 529th Brigade of the 177th Division of the 38th Army.
During his tenure in office, Yan wanted to use his ability to transform the old army to carry out political transformation of the Kuomintang army.
Yan Kuoyao's transformation enabled this unit to successfully fight bravely in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and fight to the death against the Japanese invaders.
At this point, the revolutionary old man Liu Kedong is very clear about Yan Kuyao's deeds.
The story begins in 1936.
In August of this year, Li Kenong, Minister of Social Affairs, decided to send Liu Kedong to the 17th Route Army to be responsible for establishing a secret radio station, and then Liu Kedong came to a grocery store and began to station.
After settling down, Liu Kedong immediately contacted the head of the regiment, Yan Kuyao's identity was a member of the Communist Party, a member of the Party sent to the Kuomintang, and Liu Kedong knew that this was his own person.
But after all, Yan Kuo is in an important position, so Liu Kedong is still a little nervous.
Liu Kedong. Soon, Yan Kuo wanted to get the news, so he came to meet Liu Kedong secretly.
After seeing Liu Kedong, Yan Kedong was also very happy, and then arranged for Liu Kedong to work in the communication platoon.
Before leaving, Yan Yu said with a smile
"If you have any difficulties, you can always come to me. ”Yan Yuyao's kindness and approachability made Liu Kedong remember deeply.
In the subsequent work, Liu Kedong found that the troops led by Yan Kuyao were completely worthy of being a sentence:
The Red Army in the White Army.Then, Liu Kedong found out,Yan Kuo had to be very strict with the troops, and formulated many rules
Clause.Yan Kui.1. Implement economic democracy;
Clause. 2. Officers are not allowed to beat or scold soldiers;
Clause. 3. Borrowed things must be returned;
Clause. Fourth, the damage must be compensated;
Many of the regulations were personally ordered and decided by Yan Kuyao, and under Yan Kuyao's control, the troops were completely different from other Kuomintang troops, and they could definitely be called the Red Army of the White Army.
Under the leadership of Yan Kuyao, this unit was the most disciplined and strongest in the 17th Route Army.
It can be said that Yan Kuyao is indeed very good at transforming the old army.
Soon after, under the call of the organization, Yan Kuan was going to evacuate the Northwest Army, and then was ordered to return to the headquarters of the ** Military Commission, when the 38th Army repeatedly retained, and even offered lucrative conditionsBut Yan Kuo always has to say one thing:
"I am a member of the Communist Party, and I must obey the party's arrangement! ”In 1937, the "77" incident broke out!
Yan Kuo wanted to receive orders from his superiors and led the troops to Beiping immediately to defend Beiping, and when he came to Beiping, Yan Kuo wanted to find that Beiping had been occupied by the Japanese army, so Yan Kuo immediately led the troops to march quickly and came to the area of Xinkou.
After coming to Xinkou, Yan Kuyao immediately led the troops to launch a counterattack, and at the same time implemented a defensive defense, and under Yan Kuyao's leading troops, the position was finally held!
Xinkou Anti-Japanese War Memorial Wall.
In Xinkou, Yan Kuan led his troops to compose a war song of national heroes to save the dead!
The year came 1938.
Under the appointment of the organization, Yan Kuo was appointed as the chief of staff of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Taihang.
In 1940, Yan Kuo was appointed deputy head of the inspection group of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
The inspection group has about 100 cadres and two research rooms, one for military and one for politics, and Yan Kui wants to be in the inspection group because of his excellent work ability, and is deeply respected by everyone.
There are many old comrades who still remember many things when Yan Kuo was on patrol in the past:
Everyone remembers that Yan Kuo is always dressed very neatly, and he always wears leggings, every time he looks, he is the demeanor of a revolutionary soldier, he is never late, and he arrives early, on the field, Yan Kuo is serious and serious, but when he arrives on the field, Yan Kuo is very approachable and respectful to everyone.Commander Yang Dezhi also trusted and admired Yan Yuyao. When he was in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, Yan Kuan had to assist Commander Yang Dezhi in establishing a series of rules and regulations, first and foremost, a system
Collective office system.
Yang Dezhi. Every night, Yang Dezhi had to work collectively with Yan Kuo, chief of staff, and Su Zhenhua, deputy political commissar, and other comrades.
It can be said that the "collective office system" proposed by Yan Kuo has not only strengthened the process of work, but has also played a very crucial role in the construction of base areas.
In the battle, Yan Kuyao also made a very fruitful event:
Establish an intelligence system.The intelligence system was not sound at the beginning, because it was always impossible to obtain information in time during the battle, and because of this, our party units suffered considerable losses.
In 1942, Yan Kuo discovered this omission and felt the seriousness of the problem.
Therefore, Yan Kuyao immediately set about establishing an intelligence work system, first of all, the intelligence department between the military region and the military sub-district, and Yan Kuang ordered it to be strengthened; it was originally not necessary to establish intelligence stations in the localities, but under Yan Kuyao's orders, intelligence stations began to be established in the localities.
In order to be able to learn about the enemy's movements, Yan Kui had to personally select intelligence officers, then penetrate into the puppet army, and then send the information back in time before the enemy made a move.
Thanks to Yan Yuyao's efforts, the intelligence system was gradually improved, and the enemy's movements were gradually mastered.
September 21, 1943.
The former site of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area.
The Japanese army launched another "autumn sweep" against the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area, and the enemy was preparing to attack our army from the Jinpu Line and along the Pinghan Railway.
But Yan Yuyao's intelligence system is not "vegetarian"!
Before the enemy moved, Yan Kuyao had already learned of the enemy's movements in advance in the report of the intelligence work, so he immediately strengthened the counterattack, and then secretly moved outside the enemy's encirclement.
The enemy suddenly did not know, but was secretly surrounded and attacked by our army, under the attack of our army, the Japanese army and the puppet army were wiped out about 4,000 people, and suffered heavy losses.
In addition to this battle of the Japanese army, there was another battle, which was the Battle of Hachiko Bridge.
After the puppet army Sun Liangcheng surrendered to the Japanese army, he served as the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Front Army of the puppet army, and then under the order of the Japanese army, Sun Liangcheng led his troops to attack the Puyang area.
Using the intelligence system, Yan Kuo led his troops to carry out a secret rapid march, first came to the area of Bagongqiao, and then surrounded the town of Bagongqiao, after the enemy discovered the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army had successfully divided its troops.
Under the leadership of Yan Kuyao and Yang Dezhi, our army quickly pulled out many points of the enemy at the Bagong Bridge, annihilating about 3,000 enemies, Sun Liangcheng was frightened and no longer dared to attack our army.
Sun Liangcheng. This battle can be said to have dealt a serious blow to the arrogance of the Japanese puppet army.
And Yan Kuyao is also worthy of being a "model" among the staff officers!
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won!
War of Liberation, launched!
Under the appointment of **, Yan Kuo came to work in the Northwest Field Army and served as the deputy commander and chief of staff of the 4th Column, and later when the Northwest Field Army was changed to the First Field Army, Yan Kuo was appointed chief of staff.
It can be said that Yan Kuo is the best "counselor" of the First Field Army led by Mr. Peng!
In fact, it is worth mentioning that in 1947, when Yan Kui was fighting in August, he had to leave the Northwest Field Army because of his injury.
And this injury is also because Yan Kui has to dare to stand up.
Yan Kuo was injured in the Battle of Yulin, and participated in the Battle of Yulin with Mr. Peng, in the battle, the outlying strongholds of Yulin were successfully cleared, and only the south of the city has not been conquered.
**。In order to prevent the enemy from continuing to carry out a fierce counterattack, Yan Kui stepped forward and personally came to the forward position to command the battle.
During the command, Yan Kuo was seriously injured and almost died on the spot, but fortunately the rescue was timely.
After Yan Kuo was about to recover from his injury, Mr. Peng still did not forget him, and transferred him back as soon as possible, which shows that Mr. Peng's recognition of Yan Kuo's work!
During his work in the Northwest Field Army, Yan Kuo was deeply loved by everyone.
Once, when the troops were fighting, in the middle of the night, ** suddenly sent a telegram, in fact, the telegram was sent late at night, which was very important, and it stands to reason that Mr. Peng must be notified immediately.
But because of the progress of the battle, Mr. Peng has not slept well for 3 days and 3 nights, and now Mr. Peng has just fallen asleep, and everyone does not dare to disturb Mr. Peng, so they have to suppress this telegram.
After more than half an hour, Mr. Peng woke up and learned that the telegram had been suppressed for an hour, Mr. Peng was very angry and immediately called Yan Kui to ask the chief of staff for questioning.
Yan Kuyao actually didn't know about this matter at all, because the matter of piezo telegram was actually done by other staff officersBut Yan Kuan still didn't explain, and took this matter on everyone's behalf, and immediately reviewed it to Mr. Peng.
The first on the left is Mr. Peng.
Yan Kuyao did not criticize the staff officer who suppressed the telegram, but only instructed the staff officer that the next time there was an important telegram, he must report it immediately, and half an hour would be enough to delay the major event and delay the victory.
Yan Kuo should love his subordinates, so that everyone Yan Kuo should be very respectful and loved.
During his tenure as chief of staff of the Northwest Field Army, Yan Kuo continued to use his best ability to transform himself to improve all the rules and regulations of the field army and strengthen the building of the headquarters.
In the headquarters, the tasks of each staff officer of each section and specialty are different, and in order to carry out the work in a rational manner, Yan Kui has to personally formulate different rules and regulations.
One day, Mr. Peng saw these work rules and was very happy, because according to practical experience, the staff industry is institutionalized, which is a good method and a good start, which is conducive to the development of work.
Under Yan Yuyao's control, the level of staff officers has risen by more than one notch!
In addition, Yan also did a lot of work in the Political Department.
During the revolutionary period, there were many Kuomintang generals who were in a clear state of mind, cooperated with our party, and made great contributions to the cause of rescuing the people, including General Deng Baoshan and others, and Yan Kui also made great efforts to win over these people.
Tang Baoshan. And these stories are little known.
It can be said that Yan Kuo is too obscure!
The war of liberation, victorious!
On October 1, 1949, New China was born!
In 1955, the first award ceremony was held in New China, and Yan was awarded the rank of founding lieutenant general.
It is worth mentioning that in fact, according to Yan Kuyao's rank and merits, the "August 1st Medal" can be awardedHowever, Yan was not awarded the "August 1st Medal".
It turned out that at the time of the statistics, because Yan Kuo was sent by the party to the Kuomintang to carry out secret work in 1930, and did not return to the party until 1938, the organization department calculated according to Yan Kuo's entry into the party in 1938Naturally, the "August 1st Medal" cannot be awarded.
In fact, Yan Kuo participated in the revolution in 1927 and led the Qingjian Uprising, and he was an absolute old Red Army.
In the face of such a misunderstanding, Yan Kuo didn't care about personal gains and losses, and in the end he didn't take the initiative to raise it, nor did he have any complaints.
Later, when ** was investigating, he discovered a work mistake, so he immediately reissued the "August 1st Medal" for Yan Kuo, and Yan Kuo was also very moved, which represented **'s recognition and support for him.
In 1957, preparations for the establishment of the Academy of Military Sciences began.
**。In order to avoid working behind closed doors, Yan Kuo personally merged the academic secretariat and the academic communications office at that time, and then worked together to focus on the military scholarship of the whole army.
With Yan Kuyao's assistance, the books and materials of the Academy of Military Sciences have become more and more detailed, and almost all of the large number of military materials have been personally grasped by Yan Kuyao, and this is also the basis for the development of the Academy of Military Sciences.
I think that everyone in the Academy of Military Sciences, when they walk into the library building, will definitely remember the contribution that Yan Kuo has made here.
In 1958, he inspected all parts of the country and came to Jinan.
During his stay in Jinan, he decided to meet with the members of the enlarged meeting of the party committee of the military region, and Yan Kuang, as one of the members, also decided to set off immediately to meet him
In order to strictly follow the confidentiality system, Yan Yu instructed the secretary to be sure to guard ** in case anything happens.
When he went out, Yan Kuo wanted to find out that his daughter Xiao Yanyan was also going out, but in fact, the child was going out to playBut Yan Kuo was worried that her daughter would go out to play and would inadvertently leak the interview task of ***, so Yan Kuo immediately ordered her daughter:
"Be at home, don't go out! ”
Yan Kui. Subsequently, Yan Kuo wanted to go to meet *** alone After the interview, ** took a group photo with everyone, and when he returned home, Yan Kuo never said more than half a word to his family about these work things.
Yan Yao strictly follows the confidentiality system.
In addition, Yan Kuan is still very frugal and never wastes public things.
At work, Yan Kuo often holds meetings to meet with everyone, in fact, according to the regulations, it is completely possible to distribute cigarettes and tea, which is also reasonable.
But Yan Kuo wanted to order that cigarettes were not allowed to be arranged, and all these were saved, and Yan Kuo always said that the country was still in difficulty, and it was necessary to leave it to the state.
For everyone to come to the meeting,Yan Kuai wants to say that if he wants to smoke, it's okay, but if he wants to bring his own cigarettes and want to drink tea, he only has white water here, and there is no tea.
Over time, everyone has also followed Yan Kuan to save resources.
In 1959, at the request of the organization, Yan Kuo was going to prepare to join the company.
After coming to the company, Yan Kuo was an ordinary soldier, following other soldiers every day to go out to exercise, stand guard together, and complete tasks together.
The soldiers were full of admiration for Yan Kui's chief!
In 1965, Yan Kuan wanted to go to the countryside to participate in work, eat and live with the people, and there was no shelf at all, until many years later, many ordinary people mentioned Yan Kuan, and sighed and said:
"Lao Yan is so old, he has carried a hoe to the ground, what are we still rubbing! ”It can be seen that Yan Kui always takes the lead in any work!
Yan Yu wanted to take a group photo with Su Yu and other leaders.
In the blink of an eye, the year 1984 came.
In 1984, Yan Kuang was about to retire from his post, but he was still concerned about the cause of the peaceful reunification of the motherland, serving as a director and adviser to the Whampoa Military Academy Alumni Association, and devoting all his energy to the cause of peaceful reunification between the two sides of the strait.
It is a pity that in the commemoration of the centenary of Yang Hucheng's birth, Yan Kui wanted to participate in person, but because he accidentally fell and was seriously injured, the rescue was ineffective and he died!
On March 26, 1994, Yan Kuo passed away at the age of 90!
In his revolutionary career, Yan was strict with himself, upright, and never special for his family and children, and lived a fair and upright life.
Salute to General Yan Kui!
