Yang, 19 17 10 was born in a poor peasant's home in Butou Village, Niupotian, Duxian Township. Among the three brothers, Lu Si is the youngest and belongs to the dragon. Speaking of his birthday, when he left home, even he couldn't remember clearly. It was not until the old trumpeter Han Hongming clearly remembered that he was born on June 4th, 10. /kloc-joined the communist youth league at the age of 0/4, and/kloc-joined the international department of the communist youth league at the age of 0/933. On September 5, he held a military parade and flag-raising ceremony at the racecourse in Bosheng County, officially announcing the establishment of the International Division of the Young Communist Youth League of the Red Army. The first teacher, Chen Guang, was Xiao Hua, political commissar, and Feng Wenbin, director of the Political Department. This is the youngest team in the Red Army, with an average age of 18 years old and more than 6,700 members, accounting for 70%. It is divided into three groups, and Yang is in the 45th group. One battalion, three companies. His second brother Yang Sifu is also in the International Department of the Communist Youth League. Joined the party in the line of fire in the same year. On September 5th, they left Ningdu in the International Department of the Communist Youth League and arrived in Guangchang on the 8th for a month-long military and political training. On September 25th, he was ordered to cooperate with Gongsan and Gongwu Corps and enter the front line of Lichuan. 1April 28, 934, participated in the defense of Guangchang. Yang clearly remembers that the first time he went to the battlefield, he was bombed by enemy planes, and our hearts were pounding. Before the second company in front entered the position, it was killed and dozens of people were injured by the plane. Sadly, dozens of comrades who joined the army died before the battle. So from then on, I especially hated enemy planes. In that battle, the International Department of the Communist Youth League suffered heavy casualties. Our fortifications and bunkers were destroyed by the bombing and heavy shelling of enemy planes, and some cadres and soldiers were in the bunkers with coffins. There is a platoon, and only six people are left after the fight, and only one of the three squad leaders is left. The platoon leader bit his finger and wrote blood out in blood. Xiao Hua's political commissar took the blood script to educate everyone to turn hatred into strength, bravely kill the enemy and defend the Soviet area. Then transfer to Ninghua, Liuqing and Shicheng. After the Battle of Shicheng, after a year of fighting, the number of Communist Youth International Division has dropped from 6,700 at the beginning to 2,700. 10 On the afternoon of June 6, Yang bid farewell to his hometown, crossed the river and began to embark on the road of the Long March. Yang said: I was a child at that time, 16 years old. I am a teacher of the Communist International, and I don't know anything. People say go and go, live and fight, and all actions are under command.
General Yang told us that although the Long March of the Red Army was extremely arduous, everyone was not afraid of hardship, fatigue or war, and they were afraid of being injured or falling behind due to illness. He still remembers that he fell behind twice on the Long March. The first time was after 1935 Zunyi meeting. Yang was injured in the battle against the county seat. After the army left, he was fostered in a fellow villager's home and almost lost his life.
Sent to the homes of ordinary people, I gave them two Jin of opium, and I have two Jin of opium myself. At that time, there was no money and opium was used. People in Guizhou regard opium soil as a treasure. A bad guy instigated his fellow villager, saying that he (Yang) had something to fuck him or give him top. I want to kill me as soon as I hear it, but I'll kill him if I pass it up. I used my quick wits to say, Oh, my stomach hurts badly. There are two kilograms of smoked soil under my pillow at home. Please pay attention. When (they) heard the smell of smoke, he didn't pay attention when I went out to relieve myself. Later, I quickly limped away with a stick.
The second time I left behind was when I was crossing the grass.
Because of illness, I didn't eat for two or three days, and I slept under the tree because of rain at night. After dawn, the troops left, and I only felt weak. Not only can I not walk, but I can't even sit quietly. I tried to sit up, but I still couldn't support it and fell down. A soldier thought I was dead, so he picked up my dry food bag. People have the instinct to survive. I grabbed the dry food bag and said, what are you doing with my dry food? Seeing that I was still alive, he tried his best to pull me up and let me lean against the tree to bask in the sun. The sun dried the clothes, and then I met a soldier who was at the back of the line like me. He is Ma, the later director of China Civil Aviation. He was injured in the leg, so we helped and encouraged each other. After chasing for a few days, we caught up with the big army.
After the victory of the Red Army's Long March arrived in northern Shaanxi, Xiao Hua, political commissar of the Second Army Division of Yang Weihong, served as a guard, and later served as the monitor of the guard class and the platoon leader of the guard company; Participated in the famous Pingxingguan Campaign in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. During the War of Liberation, Ren Jidong taught the third division commander; The second field directly teaches the teacher of the second division.
