In the last century, our country experienced many wars, from warlord melee to the War of Resistance Against Japan to the War of Liberation, and many people left their homes to fight wars, so that the people could live a better life. Cai Yong was one of these people, and he joined the army at the age of 12.
After Cai Yong joined the army, he fought wars everywhere and made many military achievements. Later, he was injured in the course of a mission and formed an indissoluble relationship with a father and daughter. For many years, after fighting, he would always ask people to inquire about their whereabouts, so what happened to Cai Yong and this father and daughter? What about the rest of this story?
Fighting for the revolution, wounded in battle
Cai Yong was born in 1919 to a poor family in Jiangxi, when the warlords were fighting, the people were not happy, and the people were living a miserable life. Until 1931, when the Red Army hit Jiangxi, they beat up local tycoons to divide the land, so that the peasants' lives were improved. Cai Yong's father went out to join the army when Cai Yong was very young, and at that time he had forgotten what his father looked like.
Later, one day, seeing his mother quietly hiding and crying, he asked and learned that his father Cai Jinxiang and his second uncle Cai Weixiang had died in the battle with the nationalist army, and Cai Yong was sad for a long time, although his impression of his father had been somewhat blurred.
However, he was still sad, and after calming down, he had a bold idea that he must join the Red Army. He wanted to avenge his father and second uncle, and wanted to be a great person like them.
In 1931, when Cai Yong was only twelve years old, he planned to join the Red Army, but at first, his mother did not agree, because she did not want her son to follow in her husband's footsteps.
However, after several consultations, he still became a small soldier of the Red Twelfth Army, Cai Yong was very clever, brave in battle, and was valued by the chiefs, after that, he successively served as the youth officer of the Political Department of the First Division and the Third Regiment of the Red First Army, the chief of the Youth Section of the Political Department of the Red Second Division, etc. It is worth mentioning that Cai Yong was fortunate to experience the twenty-five thousand miles long march.
Later, Cai Yong recalled, "The Long March was the most difficult day in my life, but I was lucky, I was fortunate to experience the Long March, which was a great test for my body and mind, and finally I survived, and the experience of the Long March also became the most precious wealth in my life." ”
Cai Yong, who participated in the Long March, is more mature than before, and can think very comprehensively when thinking about problems, which also strengthens his confidence.
For Cai Yong, there is no doubt that the Long March was an ordeal, in which he learned the most precious things in his life. Since then, he has been able to see the tribulation as a driving force to forge ahead, Cai Yong is a very human, he has a smart mind, which is why he can shine on the battlefield in the future.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Cai Yong fought with the troops everywhere, participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan and many battles, and he went from a small soldier to a political commissar because of his outstanding military merits. With the passage of time, the Japanese army swept through not a short time, and the Kuomintang also blockaded our army, and the anti-Japanese situation became more and more severe.
Cai Yong, as one of them, was very worried about such a situation. Growing up in a poor family, he lived a life of poverty, so he joined the army to fight in order to make the people no longer hungry and cold. But looking at the war situation in front of him, his heart fell to the bottom, and he did not know when such a war would end and whether there would be a good outcome.
Under constant pressure from both the Japanese and the Kuomintang, Wu Xinrong and others, who had been recruited in early December 1940, launched a rebellion and kidnapped Cai Yong and many other leaders to prepare to use them as a greeting gift to the enemy. At the moment of crisis, Cai Yong and others carefully planned to launch a breakthrough in the early morning of December 13.
Unfortunately, in the process of this breakout, Cai Yong was hit in the head by a bullet and fainted. In the end, his comrades fled the prison on his back, regardless of the danger to his life, but the enemy still pursued him.
In this case, the injured person will always affect the speed of progress, so after discussion, it was decided to put Cai Yong in the home of his hometown to cultivate. It is precisely because of this inadvertent decision that it has brought great influence to Cai Yong.
In spite of her honor, the girl pretended to be a wife to save the Eighth Route Warrior
After Cai Yong was placed in his hometown, the comrades-in-arms left and said that they would pick him up again. In this way, Cai Yong stayed in a peasant family. The fellow is named Guo Xiangshan, and he also has an 18-year-old daughter, Guo Ruilan.
Guo Xiangshan, who was proficient in medicine, treated Cai Yong's wounds and took good care of him, and also let his daughter take care of the diet of the Eighth Route Army soldier. During the time that Guo Ruilan took care of him, he told many stories on the battlefield, which made this young girl who had just come of age full of admiration for him.
However, the people who should come will always come, and within a few days the enemy will come after them and surround the village, searching from house to house. In this emergency situation, it was too late to transfer, not to mention that Guo Xiangshan and his daughter could not move an injured person to a safe place.
At the moment of anxiety, Guo Xiangshan was in a hurry to make Cai Yong dress up as an infectious disease person, and at the same time let his daughter Guo Ruilan pretend to be Cai Yong's wife to take care of him. However, Cai Yong has no opinion on playing a contagious person, but he does not agree with Guo Ruilan's role as his wife. Because he knew that Guo Ruilan was only 18 years old, such behavior would ruin the girl's innocence.
But Guo Ruilan was willing, because he knew that the person in front of her was not an ordinary person, he was a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, and she was willing to save such a person. Seeing that Cai Yong was worried, Guo Xiangshan said to him: "The enemy will come soon, now there is no other way, it is important to save your life!" Cai Yong saw the firm look of the father and daughter, and he no longer insisted.
After saying this, there was a knock outside the door, and the enemy directly kicked the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he asked who was lying on the bed, and Guo Xiangshan was busy answering: "Boss, this is my son-in-law, who contracted an infectious disease a few days ago, has no money to treat the disease, and can only wait for death at home." Guo Ruilan also wiped his tears from the side.
As soon as the enemy heard that it was an infectious disease, no one would go forward to confirm it, and when he saw Guo Ruilan crying sadly on the side, he believed that he had really retreated. After dark, Guo Xiangshan found a door panel as a stretcher, and sent Cai Yong to the base of the Eighth Route Army with his daughter overnight.
In this way, Cai Yong's life was picked up. In fact, thanks to the crisis moment, Guo Xiangshan came up with such a good method. It was also thanks to his daughter Guo Ruilan, who disguised himself as his wife at the expense of his own reputation to save him. A kindness, Cai Yong silently remembered in his heart. He thought that in the future, he would have the opportunity to repay their father and daughter.
In the southern conquest and the northern war, he never forgot to look for a benefactor
In this way, after some twists and turns, Cai Yong smoothly returned to the army and rushed to the battlefield. Later, he participated in many wars. During the Liberation War, he was sent to the Northeast Battlefield as the commander of the Seventeenth Regiment of the 6th Division of the 2nd Column of The Eastern Field.
This regiment was newly formed, and it was a brand new unit. It was inevitable that the unruly team would have some setbacks, so the regiment he led had never won a victorious battle.
Cai Yong has always thought that he can lead his regiment to fight a victorious battle, give his regimental commander a long face, and get rid of the bad impression that he will not win a battle. Cai Yong has always been a strong-willed person, and he has ideas that he must honor.
After the Battle of Huaide began, the Seventeenth Regiment took the initiative to propose to the chief the task of taking the main attack. The chief looked at Cai Yong with a determined face, nodded his head and agreed. The chief knew that the Seventeenth Regiment really needed a chance to prove itself. In this way, Cai Yong rushed all the way with his seventeen regiments, so strong that the other troops were surprised.
They were all thinking, what medicine did the Seventeenth Regiment take today, so fiercely. Shortly after the attack, the Seventeenth Regiment broke into the enemy's headquarters, killed one of the enemy's regimental commanders, and annihilated the enemy. By this point, the reputation of the Seventeenth Regiment had been utterly discredited, and no one would ever laugh at them as an unwinnable unit.
Soon after, Cai Yong made many meritorious achievements and was promoted to chief of staff of the Sixth Division. The so-called:"The grace of dripping water should be repaid by the spring", Cai Yong has been fighting in the front all these years, but one thing he has not forgotten is to find the father and daughter who saved him that year, so he vows to find them and repay their life-saving grace.
Helplessly, China is so big, Cai Yong has been running outside to fight, and has never heard the news of Guo Xiangshan's father and daughter.
In that era, there were constant wars, and sometimes Cai Yong even wondered if they would no longer be alive, and whenever he thought like this, he always couldn't help but pat his head. He did not stop for a moment, looking for Guo Xiangshan's father and daughter. It was the most important thing in his life, besides fighting.
Sometimes, his comrades-in-arms advised him, but he never listened and insisted on finding Guo Xiangshan's father and daughter.
Seeing each other 40 years later, the veterans repaid the favor in this way
In 1983, Cai Yong returned to the village where Guo Xiangshan's father and daughter had saved him. He saw the savior Guo Ruilan again, and Cai Yong asked that he had returned over the years, but he had never seen them again.
It turned out that after they saved Cai Yong, they were reported by people with hearts, so they were afraid of retaliation, so they packed up their things overnight and went to escape. On the way to escape, they also met the Eighth Route Army like Cai Yong and helped them.
At this time, Guo Ruilan was already old, and there was no one around to take care of him, after discussing, Cai Yong decided to take Guo Ruilan to his home for the elderly. At first, Guo Ruilan repeatedly resigned, but because Cai Yong insisted that she no longer refused. When he went to Cai Yong's house, he treated himself like a sister.
However, because Guo Ruilan lives in the countryside all year round, there is no way to live in the city. In addition, she did not want to cause trouble for Cai Yong's family, and finally she resolutely moved back to the countryside despite Cai Yong's opposition. Cai Yong couldn't stop Guo Ruilan, so he had to let her go back.
Cai Yong sends living expenses to Guo Ruilan every month, and will buy some gifts to see her in a month or two. I have to say that for Guo Ruilan, who has been floating all her life, Cai Yong's care for her allows her to enjoy her old age in peace. Cai Yong was a grateful person, and he took such care of Guo Ruilan until her death.
Even after her death, Cai Yong often went to visit her grave. I have to say that even for the life-saving benefactor, there are few people like Cai Yong, even if he fights in the southern conquest and the northern war, he does not forget to look for the benefactor, and after finding it, he will take care of her like a sister.
Heroes and sons and daughters, glorious deeds of helping each other
In the war years, there were many such things, and Cai Yong and Guo Xiangshan's father and daughter were one of the records. Now that science and technology have developed, the Internet has brought people's lives closer, but it has also made people more and more distant between people. In big cities, even neighbors may not have met.
But in that war-ridden era, people were inseparable and interdependent. Just like Guo Xiangshan's father and daughter to Cai Yong, they are obvious strangers who don't know, they can completely retreat from this matter.
However, because Cai Yong is a soldier who fights for the people, because of the most basic trust between people, one chooses to believe, and the other chooses to save each other regardless of the danger of life. Such feelings are things that we do not have the opportunity to experience today, and we cannot empathize with them. However, we can appreciate the character of Cai Yongzhi Entu, which is what we lack today.
Many people will think, pretending to be a wife, why did Cai Yong marry Guo Ruilan later? In fact, Guo Ruilan saved him completely out of trust in the Eighth Route Army, and did not think so much at all, that is, the mutual help between brothers and sisters.
Our Chinese nation can stand firm in the east of the world because of this national sentiment, and the descendants of Yanhuang and the descendants of Yanhuang have helped each other and jointly retreated from the enemy. This is also the reason why we were able to win the War of Resistance Against Japan for so many years. Because we are united, we help each other, and we help others and never ask for anything in return.
This story is about heroes and sons helping each other, and it is a glorious deed in that era. It is the deeds of the revolutionary ancestors that we need to know today, and we should remember their efforts.
epilogue
We who live in peacetime will never be able to appreciate the hard life and experience of our revolutionary ancestors. Therefore, we can only strive to learn their various spirits, and the excellent spirit needs to be passed on. In the text, Guo Ruilan and Cai Yong are not related to each other, and the relationship that cannot be beaten by eight rods is originally not played, but Guo Ruilan is willing to pretend to be his wife in order to save Cai Yong.
First of all, let's not talk about the prejudice against women in that era, she did it with great consequences. Just because he helped him in the future, he may cause himself to kill himself, Guo Ruilan and his father deserve our admiration. They never ask for anything in return for saving people, and they are not afraid of retaliation.
Since we Chinese history, we have paid attention to the spirit of collectivism and mutual help. Today, we eat and wear without worries and live happily, but we should learn from the revolutionary spirit of mutual help and mutual assistance left by our revolutionary ancestors.
