In August 1958, the central government issued instructions for middle and senior generals to become soldiers and participate in manual labor. On September 5, Yang Dezhi, then commander of the Jinan Military Region, conveyed the spirit of the instructions to the middle and senior cadres of the Jinan Military Region and signed up for the first batch of subordinate companies to serve as soldiers on the spot. Attached below is a photo of Yang Dezhi taking up his post in the Jinan Military Region.
In the early morning of September 26, braving the drizzle and stepping on the mud, Yang Dezhi led Li Yaowen and Chen Meizao and a group of 13 people to walk to a certain sixth company and began a month-long life as a soldier. Yang Dezhi was assigned to 4 shifts and began to eat, live, work, operate and entertain with the soldiers. Attached below is a photo of Yang Dezhi standing guard with a gun.
Yang Dezhi, who has not lived in a company life for nearly thirty years, started from backpacking training, after all, he is a veteran with decades of military experience, and with an old foundation, Yang Dezhi has mastered it very quickly. During the meal, Yang Dezhi strictly abided by the principle of eating together and took the initiative to share meals with the soldiers. The attached photo shows Yang Dezhi and the warriors eating together.
The next day, the day of the gun, Yang Dezhi received a brand new Type 54 submachine gun, a domestic model of the Soviet PPS-43 submachine gun. Yang Dezhi only watched the dismantling demonstration once, and he was able to complete the disassembly and combine it himself. The attached photo shows Yang Dezhi, who is training with a submachine gun.
After that, Yang Dezhi was fully armed, took his new gun to the coaching field, and did a single shooting training. Yang Dezhi and the fighters together, groping and playing on the coaching field, watching, learning and doing at the same time. The general who commanded the strong crossing of the Dadu River was excellent three times and good once when the all-round shooter in the regiment was evaluated. The attached photo shows Yang Dezhi, who is shooting a target.
In the next tactical class, 47-year-old Yang Dezhi did not leave a lesson. Although his physical fitness was not as good as when he was young, he was able to crawl through the barbed wire and quickly climb up the rope. During the training in the soil work industry, Yang Dezhi had a standard posture, lying on his side, looking ahead, and using a small shovel to dig up a single bunker very quickly. The attached photo shows Yang Dezhi digging up a single soldier bunker.
During the intermission, Yang Dezhi did not idle, and performed his unique skill "the eldest son is short" to the warriors. That is, the thumbs, index fingers, and middle fingers of both hands are facing each other, and when the fingers are not separated, the middle finger is used to pass under the index finger. The warriors saw and learned from each other, but none of them succeeded. The attached photo shows Yang Dezhi performing a unique performance.
Then Yang Dezhi performed his own hard kung fu for the soldiers, doing three-finger push-ups. Yang Dezhi, who has not practiced for many years, although his posture is somewhat non-standard, he still attracts a burst of applause from the soldiers. This action, not to mention a person who is almost fifty years old, is a young man, and he can't do it without practicing his family. The attached photo shows Yang Dezhi, who is doing three finger support.
As a general with decades of military experience and coming from the Red Army, Yang Dezhi has countless legendary experiences. The soldiers' favorite thing to do was to return to the dormitory and surround Yang Dezhi to listen to him tell the story of the war years. Attached below is Yang Dezhi, who tells stories to the soldiers in the dormitory.
A month's life as a soldier soon passed, and Yang Dezhi bid farewell to his comrades who had fought with him for a week. Since then, Yang Dezhi has never broken the correspondence with the Sixth Company, and has always used the letter to encourage the Sixth Company to continue to move forward and achieve greater achievements. The attached photo shows Yang Dezhi and the soldiers working together.
