In China's past war of resistance, many admirable figures have emerged. Among them, there is a hero, he did not hesitate to go to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and used his own machine gun to kill more than 400 US troops, but before the 1955 award ceremony, he silently retired, who should have won the honor but chose to return to his hometown to become an ordinary farmer, lived in seclusion for 33 years, and finally was dug up because of the 2400 yuan arrears.
In a turbulent era, he resolutely decided to join the revolution
Jiang Cheng, born in 1928 in Guangfu Village, Hechuan District, Chongqing, was in the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the situation was turbulent, social turmoil, and the young Jiang Cheng ran around with his parents to avoid war from a young age, so when he was very young, the green shoots of revolution sprouted in his heart.
At the age of 21, just in time for the liberation of Chengdu, he resolutely joined the large unit of the People's Liberation Army and became a soldier in the machine gun company of the Eleventh Army. At that time, the civil war was basically over, the Korean War broke out, Jiang Cheng's Eleventh Army just happened to be the main force arranged by the state to rush to Korea to support, and Jiang Cheng, who lacked war experience, did not hesitate in the slightest, and on the day he received the order, he followed the troops to the Korean battlefield to fight.
In 1951, just after entering the Korean border area, they were attacked by the US army, as we all know, in the battlefield of the Korean War, the initial United States occupied an absolutely dominant position, not only sufficient troops, reserve resources and guns and weapons were the most advanced in the world at that time.
But the Chinese soldiers are not afraid! We don't have planes, we shoot their planes down on the ground with cannons, we don't have advanced weapons, we do our best to kill one or just one. Weapons can't be compared, can the will be compared!
After several rounds of charge duels, Jiang Cheng's troops, with wisdom, won many victories. Because of Jiang Cheng's excellent performance in the war, he could quickly be discovered and used, and Jiang Cheng was quickly promoted from an ordinary artillery soldier to a deputy company commander of a machine artillery company. In those days, what Jiang Cheng remembered most was the Battle of Shangganling!
One man alone blocked 400 US troops, and at the critical moment, he was anonymous
At that time, our army was lurking and exposed, and could only engage in a head-on confrontation with the US army; our army fought fiercely with the US army for four days and four nights; Jiang Cheng accidentally suffered from shrapnel and injured his abdomen during the war, and his intestines were all punched out, and a lot of blood was shed.
In a later interview, he said: "At that time, the consciousness was already blurred, and the whole body with stomachache was no longer conscious, but the consciousness told me that I could not stand up, hold on, and kill an American and earn one!" "Just like this confused for a long time, I don't know who heard who shouted, we won!" Jiang Cheng's thoughts forced him to stop and immediately fell to the ground.
In later statistics, during the period when Jiang Cheng last insisted, he killed more than 400 Americans in total and smashed a heavy machine gun of the enemy.
Such a heroic figure should have accepted his due honor and admiration from the people at the 1955 award ceremony, but he chose to retire at a critical moment and return to his hometown to become an ordinary farmer. After returning to his hometown, he was very low-key, never mentioning his glorious history, and everyone only knew that they had a broad-minded and helpful peasant uncle around them. This continued for 33 years.
Arrears appear, heroic deeds "reappear in the world"
Until 1988, the emergence of 2400 yuan with a profit in arrears broke Jiang Cheng's life of anonymity and low-key life.
A man named Wang Jueying, as the administrator of the county chronicle of the county, found a document called "The Good News of the Meritorious Service of Revolutionary Soldiers" when he was compiling the county chronicle, and because the address was filled in incorrectly, he could not be sent out at that time. The first class of this document clearly bears Jiang Cheng's name, and it also records Jiang Cheng's heroic deeds in the Battle of Shangganling.
Wang Jueying immediately connected with the person who had borrowed money to build the road, because the name of the person who borrowed the money was also jiang cheng. The findings found that the people in the two incidents were indeed the same person.
Jiang Cheng borrowed money in 1983, because the village needed to build roads at that time, the villagers cobbled together the last money or not enough, in desperation, Jiang Cheng ran to the rural credit cooperatives to borrow a thousand yuan to help the village build roads! In just five years, the arrears of one thousand yuan with the profit became 2400 yuan.
Jiang Cheng's family at that time could be described as destitute, and after his son learned of the arrears, because he could not pay it, he had to pay back his house after selling it. The spirit of the father and son really had to be applauded.
Wang Jueying immediately began to react to his superiors, Jiang Cheng's glorious deeds reappeared in the world after 33 years, the government not only returned the house sold by Jiang Cheng's son to them, but also exempted them from the arrears, in addition, it also subsidized the difficult life of Jiang Cheng's family, and Jiang Cheng's deeds have since spread to the world again.
conclusion:
The words "not happy with things," not with one's own sorrow, indifferent to fame and fortune, and noble quality are used to describe Jiang Cheng! In today's materialistic world, I don't know how many people can do the attitude of adhering to their hearts and living a simple life like Jiang Cheng's predecessors!
