In modern China, in addition to those great heroes who are famous and famous, I don't know how many unsung heroes have either lost their precious lives in the struggle against the enemy, or have achieved great merits but never spoke to anyone. Most of the heroes who survived belonged to the latter. One of the heroes we want to talk about today is exactly like this, in the early days of the founding of the country, he led a team to arrest the bandits, and he obtained rare battle achievements but never told anyone. It was not until his children cleaned up the house for him in his later years that he discovered the special meritorious service award that had been sealed for many years, and only then did he tell the story of the past of banditry.
The hero, named Lu Wenhuan, was born in 1929 in Jiuying Village, Henan Province, China. When he was still very young, the situation at home was not very good, and if there was no accident, he would stay in this small mountain village forever and not see the outside world. But Little Lu Wenhuan is very ambitious, and after listening to the heroic story told by the old man, he decided to become a big hero in the future.
When he grew up, Lu Wenhuan joined the army, and he himself always wanted to make great contributions, which of course did not mean that he was a person who was a good and great achievement, he just wanted to make great contributions to the country. But it was so easy to make a contribution, and Lu Wenhuan had never been given a good chance.
Until 1949. At that time, New China was about to be founded, and our Party began a vigorous campaign to suppress bandits. At that time, there was a bandit leader in Majiazhai named Li Zikui, who was fierce and fierce, and had no moral bottom line. When he was very young, he followed a group of bandits to rob the house and occupy the mountain as king. After coming from the top of the mountain, dominate the side. During the reign of the Kuomintang, in order to facilitate management, Li Zikui was incorporated into the head of the local security regiment. Here it has to be said that the Kuomintang attaches great importance to the countryside, and such bandits obviously endanger the people, so how can they be the captain of the security team to protect the people? What a joke. Sure enough, Li Zikui, who became a petty official, became even more arrogant, making the local people dare to be angry and dare not speak.
Later, the Kuomintang fled south, and Lingbao County, where Li Zikui was located, became a liberated area, but there were still remnants of forces like Li Zikui. At that time, Li Zikui saw that this official could not do it, so he started the work of a bandit before.
When our party comes to power, it is natural to get rid of these "pests" and it can also be regarded as a gift for the founding ceremony. After many bandit raids, Li Zikui's forces were almost wiped out, and he himself had to flee everywhere, and finally fled to a cave in Majiazhai.
At this time, the person who was assigned to arrest Li Zikui was Lu Wenhuan. In order not to attract Li Zikui's attention, only 12 people participated in the bandits together with Lu Wenhuan. They formed a small team and came to Majiazhai. In order to find Li Zikui as soon as possible, 12 people carried out a separate search and arrest activity.
It was late at night, and it was very dark inside the cave, and Lu Wenhuan walked slowly with the oil lamp, accompanied by the faint light of the oil lamp, and his shadow also dangled on the cave wall. Lu Wenhuan, who did not dare to breathe in the atmosphere, suddenly felt a black shadow flashing from the wall next to him, and then took a look at the lantern, and sure enough, it was Li Zikui, who immediately rushed up to grab Li Zikui, Li Zikui was naturally not a vegetarian, and took the pistol towards Lu Wenhuan, which was a shot, fortunately, the gun was broken, and the bullet did not come out. At this moment, Lu Wenhuan had already held the gun on Li Zikui's stomach, and his other arm was tightly locked around his neck.
Li Zikui saw this, so he softened, and then threw the gun to the ground. In fact, it was not really soft, he just wanted to take advantage of Lu Wenhuan's time to pick up the gun and take the opportunity to get out of his control. How could Lu Wenhuan be so stupid, he did not care about the gun, but further locked Li Zikui, forced Li Zikui out of the cave with the gun, and called the remaining teammates to arrest the bandit together.
Later, in recognition of Lu Wenhuan, who successfully captured Li Zikui, the government awarded him special military merit. After retiring from the army, Lu Wenhuan returned to his hometown, and the honorary certificate of the special prize has been carefully collected by Lu Wenhuan, and he did not tell anyone about it, even his own children.
Lu Wenhuan, who retired from the army and returned to his hometown, is in the eyes of other villagers, a diligent and honest person. No matter what the villagers have, he is willing to do his best to help, in that special era of eating big pot rice, Lu Wenhuan will always be the one who does the most, not like some people who are lazy and slippery. It wasn't until 1994 that Mr. Lu had to go to hospital because some of his old wounds left over from the war years had recurred. It was at this time that his daughter entered his room to help him pack up his belongings, only to find out the award for this special military merit, so that the secret could be spoken from Lu Wenhuan's mouth.
