History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
The river of time is unceasing, history is turbulent, and our country has experienced many hardships in the last century. War is ruthless and cruel, but also heart-wrenching, and many people suffer in the fire of war and lose themselves because of it. But there are still warriors who are not afraid of hardships, and it is they who charge the line in exchange for the current situation.
In 1955, our country awarded titles to those meritorious men, and when it comes to this matter, one place that must be mentioned is Hong'an in Hubei Province, the "First General County". From there, 223 founding men emerged, and for a while it became a high-profile focus. Today, the person we talked to everyone about is also a hero who came out of there, his name is Jiang Tengjiao, let's follow it!
In 1919, he was born in the aforementioned Red Holy Land. When he was only 11 years old, he joined the Red Army and braved the thorns and frosts. Although he was very young, he was clever and clever, and he had previously served as the captain of the children's regiment in the county, and it was because he was young but experienced that he soon received attention.
In 1934, the Red 25th Army began the Long March, while his troops remained in the Soviet zone to resist the enemy. Subsequently, they combined the remaining troops with local forces to form a force of less than a thousand men. However, relying on such a small number of people, they have been circling with the enemy for up to three years, and then they have continued to grow and develop, of which Jiang has made indispensable contributions.
In 1939, the Fifth Detachment of the New Fourth Army was established, and Jiang served as the instructor of the first company of the Fifteenth Regiment. Soon after, because of his wise leadership in the battle in Lai'an County, he won the victory and made a lot of merit and became a battalion instructor.
Later, Han Deloitte in Sulu District took advantage of the gap between the main forces of the Fifth Army to support other places and ordered an encirclement. At that time, Jiang was still injured, and he had to command the battle with a hard scalp. Although the enemy was a surprise attack and had the advantage of as much equipment and numbers as possible, our army was very familiar with this place, and its morale was high, and it also had rich guerrilla experience, so it successfully broke through in the enemy's front and rear pockets, which was a sensation at the time. After the war, the commander of the detachment, Luo Binghui, personally came to see Jiang and gave encouragement and commendations for his heroic performance. Originally, it was planned to let him go to the rear to recuperate, but Jiang resolutely disagreed, and the matter was abandoned.
By the time of the Liberation War, Jiang was already the director of the political department of the 155th Division of Siye. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as the political commissar of the Nanjing In 1955, jiang, who was only 36 years old, was awarded the title of major general at the ceremony held by Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, and he had this honor at a young age, which became a beautiful talk for a time.
However, in the peaceful environment after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jiang did not show such bravery and fearlessness as on the battlefield. It was "not happy" to dot the superiors and almost equal to the leader's set, and even because of such a thing, general Xu Shiyou was also angry and returned to his hometown to no longer ask questions.
After the chairman learned of this matter, he investigated the reasons clearly and finally ordered: This person cannot be reused!
In 1981, Jiang was sentenced to 18 years, and his wife waited for him to return. Later, after he was released from prison, he also returned to stability, no longer pursuing luxury, and living in peace in his old age.
On May 8, 2009, Jiang Tengjiao died of illness at the age of 90.
