In modern wars, many heroes have emerged in our army, and they have all made important contributions to the victory of the war. After the war, some of them stayed in the army, and some of them recovered from their injuries, and the protagonist We are going to talk about today, Zhang Guofu, belongs to the latter. Zhang Guofu, a native of Xinli Town, Jilin Province, joined the People's Liberation Army in 1946 at the age of 15 and became a soldier in the 9th Regiment of the Independent 3rd Division of the 47th Army of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army. Because of his bravery in battle, he was soon promoted to squad leader.
At that time, his 9th Regiment was ordered to attack Jiangmi Peak north of Jilin City, and due to the dangerous terrain, the enemy was desperately resisting, and the battle was fought very badly. At this time, Zhang Guofu stood up, used the terrain to skillfully creep forward, and when he was only more than ten meters away from the enemy's headquarters, he jumped up, rushed into the enemy's command post with a grenade with a string, and captured the enemy lieutenant general commander in one fell swoop.
After the battle broke out, when the attack was launched, Zhang Guofu used the cover of the crater to avoid the enemy's artillery fire, and rushed into the enemy's headquarters with a blast canister, forcing the enemy officers to issue an armistice order. Zhang Guofu's move greatly accelerated the process of victory in the battle, and he relied on this battle to distinguish himself from other merits.
During the battle, Zhang Guofu was seriously wounded in the chest and was sent back to China for treatment. After recovering from his injuries, he came to Hegang and worked as an ordinary gunpowder worker for 40 years. After the war, the commander of the 47th Army sent people to look for Zhang Guofu many times, but he did not find him, at this time Zhang Guofu not only left his hometown, but also changed his name to Zhang Guofu, so the talents sent by the troops did not find him.
During this period, Zhang Guofu's family of 7 lived in a 12-square-meter bungalow for a long time. But no matter how difficult it was, he never mentioned his great military achievements to anyone, nor did he ask for it to the organization. People around him only knew that he was a veteran, until his daughter once passed through Xi'an and stopped by the 47th Army to inquire about her father's past, and found that her father's extraordinary experience. In the honor room of the 47th Army Headquarters, the docent told her that Zhang Guofu's heroic deeds were not only recorded in the history of the 47th Army, but also used the title of "Lonely Hero Zhang Guofu" in primary school textbooks. When he learned that this special meritorious man was still alive, the head of the unit quickly implemented the deputy division level treatment for him, but unfortunately, Zhang Guofu died of lung cancer shortly after, and when the leader of the unit asked him what he wanted from the organization on his deathbed, Zhang Guofu's answer was only one sentence: "I hope our country is good." ”
