With the passage of time, many past events can be slowly put to rest, but time cannot erase history, and in the 20th century in China, there is a history that people can never forget, that is, the Japanese invaders caused great harm in China.
In the twentieth century, there was a group of people who could not forget, those revolutionary ancestors who were willing to stand up at a time of great national difficulty, willing to defend the territorial integrity and national dignity of the motherland with their fragile flesh and their firm will.
In the war more than 70 years ago, there were countless heroes, and no matter how time passed, the last people left were the most loyal soldiers.
In July 1988, inside the 301 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, there was a veteran who had been unconscious, although his will was unclear, but his mouth was always speaking, he kept saying "the soldiers are all sacrificed, ask for support" "Chief, I am surrounded by the enemy, please fire at me."
The relatives and his leaders who surrounded the veteran's bedside all left sad tears, this seriously ill veteran was Zhang Guofu, a special combat hero and a special meritorious hero, and his family was just a very ordinary family.
His family had been peasants for generations, but he chose to join the army, and few people in his family and his children knew that he was a hero who had made many meritorious achievements in battle.
Zhang Guofu joined the army at the age of 15, and half a year later, he captured a Kuomintang lieutenant general alive in battle, made military achievements, and became a well-known figure in the army, and in 1948, the Liaoshen Campaign broke out.
He once again chose to charge forward, throwing grenades at the enemy with a grenade in his hand, and the commander of the enemy was frightened, quickly moved away from the battle, and withdrew his troops, which was known to Zhang Guofu's division commander.
He also praised him as a small hero one after another, and later he participated in countless battles of all sizes, including the Battle of Pingjin, the Battle of Crossing the River, and other famous battles, and the small ones were even more numerous.
Later, he returned to the locality, because he was a special status of a special hero, so the local government wanted to arrange for him to be a leader, but after Zhang Guofu knew, he said: "My comrades-in-arms have all sacrificed, only I am left, I can't rely on the sacrifice of my comrades-in-arms to change my official position." ”
Later, he retired from the army, after he retired from the army, he did not idle, and he always wanted to serve the country, so he chose the firefighter industry, and then he also went to the gunpowder factory, these choices are because he wants to contribute to the country, wants to do practical things for the people, and this work is obscurity for 40 years.
In the past 40 years, he has always been very low-key, but also very silent, and then Zhang Guofu became seriously ill, but his family was very poor, and he was dedicated to serving the people, and he did not have enough money to treat himself, and his children could only choose to borrow money everywhere.
In order to treat Zhang Guofu, then everyone learned Zhang Guofu's true identity and alarmed the public security department, because many of his comrades-in-arms were serving in public security, and if he was an official, he was also a high-ranking official. Later he received very good treatment, but the disease was still cruel, and he eventually died.
But even after Zhang Guofu's death, the troops repeatedly asked his sons and daughters if they needed the help of the troops, but they repeatedly said that they did not need any help.
