As the generals of our army, 1955 was a crucial date, and the Central Committee decided to award military ranks to those who made outstanding contributions to the revolution.
As the only army commander who did not receive the rank of general, Yin Xianbing was expelled from the party in 1956.
Yin Xianbing was born in a poor family in Hanchuan, Hubei, and he endured all the hardships of life at a young age. At the age of 15, he joined the ranks of the Red Army.
Yin Xianbing came up step by step from the bottom, he was bold, not afraid of death, willing to rush to the front of any danger, and his rank in the army was getting higher and higher.
During the Liberation War, Yin Xianbing was appointed commander of the 16th Army, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became the deputy commander of the Guizhou Military Region.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the 16th Army led by Yin Xianbing won many military exploits on the battlefield, which also made Yin Xianbing gradually swell up and repeatedly violated military regulations.
It turned out that Yin Xianbing fell in love with dancing on the battlefield in North Korea, organized balls at every turn, and had an unclear relationship with his female secretary, and had serious life style problems.
I heard that this female backup dancer was a North Korean girl, and in order to get along with her day and night, Yin Xianbing transferred this girl to the army, which caused a serious adverse impact within the army.
You must know that at this time, Yin Xianbing already had a family in China, and what made people even more angry was that after this incident was exposed, the North Korean girl was embarrassed and indignant for a while, and she chose to commit suicide and caused a life lawsuit.
As the commander of the First Army, he messed with the relationship between men and women in North Korea, and finally the matter was reported back to Beijing, Chairman Mao was very angry, and it happened that he was cracking down on the style problem at that time, and the organization decided to severely punish Yin Xianbing.
When being investigated, Yin Xianbing could not defend himself in the face of ironclad facts, so he could only admit the facts, and in the end he was demoted to deputy commander and placed on party probation for two years.
In the 1955 military rank awarding ceremony, according to Yin Xianbing's qualifications, he was awarded at least the rank of lieutenant general, and only the rank of colonel was awarded due to his style.
Of all the army commanders who attended the ceremony, Yoon was the only one who was not awarded the rank of general.
A year later, the whole army seriously dealt with the problem of cadre style, and Yin Xianbing was expelled from the party, and since then he has been away from the army and transferred to a logistics post.
For a soldier who fought bloodily on the battlefield, letting him leave the army is nothing more than killing people, but this is what Yin Xianbing should bear.
In 1958, Yin Xianbing was transferred to the People's Liberation Army Political Academy to work as the deputy director of the academy.
Yin Xianbing cherishes his hard-won work very much, and gradually, the colleagues around him have also changed their prejudices against him.
In 1983, the organization intended to let Yin Xianbing serve as the deputy commander of the Beijing Military Region, which was a perfect opportunity for him, but at this time, he learned the news that made him grief-stricken.
Yin Xianbing's two friends, Yang Yong and Xu Liqing, died almost at the same time, and he could not accept the sudden blow, so he was hospitalized with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
Yin Xianbing was rescued in the hospital for nearly a month or so, but in the end he still did not snatch his life back from the hands of death, which is a great pity.
I have to say that although Yin Xianbing has done some wrong things, it cannot erase his past achievements, as long as he recognizes his mistakes, he should be given the opportunity to correct them, but unfortunately it is still too late.
