In the history of the Chinese revolution, there have been several deep sufferings, such as the defeat of the Western Route Army, such as the breakthrough of the Central Plains. Anyone who has survived a tribulation is the embodiment of a miracle. After experiencing two such sufferings, he was still able to survive, that is, the gods under the heavens.
For example, General Wang Dinglie, who will be introduced today. Wang Dinglie, a native of Xuanhan, Sichuan, joined the Red Army at the age of 15 and was only 18 years old when he completed the 25,000-mile Long March. This little red devil, too early to taste the hardships of life.
After following the Red Fourth Front on the Long March, Wang Dinglie immediately joined the Western Route Army. The Western Route Army lost the battle, and many people experienced a life-and-death breakthrough, such as the commander-in-chief Xu Xiangqian, such as the later general Wang Shusheng, and the general Li Jukui.
However, no one was as tragic as Wang Dinglie's experience. In the process of maneuvering with Ma Jiajun, Wang Dinglie was wounded, it was a very serious gunshot wound, he was shot in the right chest, the bullet entered from the right chest, stayed in his waist, Wang Dinglie's lower limbs were numb, and he passed out.
When he woke up, greater danger was looming. Suddenly, Ma Jiajun rushed over wielding a large knife, and Wang Dinglie had completely lost the ability to resist, just like the fish on the board, ready to be slaughtered. Ma Jiajun slashed at him with a knife in each of his hands, and the most fatal one was also a knife in the back of his head.
Fortunately, Wang Dinglie's hat had ears and eyes made of iron, otherwise half of his head would have been cut off. In that case, he would have sacrificed. There were bullets in his body and knife wounds on his body, but Wang Dinglie was still alive.
Slowly, his wound became purulent, maggots inside, extremely itchy, rotten and smelly, and this painful experience was not something that anyone could bear. Wang Dinglie's life was really blessed, and he was saved by the medical staff from the underground party.
However, the bullet that stayed in Wang Dinglie's body was not taken out until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it parasitically resided in Wang Dinglie's body for 16 years. In the past 16 years, how Wang Dinglie has lived and fought, I am afraid that only he can understand it.
His life was saved, but Wang Dinglie had not yet escaped the clutches of the Ma family army. As the anti-Japanese front was tight, Chiang Kai-shek asked Ma Jiajun to support the front, and Ma Jiajun sent Wang Dinglie and other Red Army prisoners to the front line, and on the way, after the rescue of the party organization, Wang Dinglie finally returned to Yan'an.
It was a great miracle that he survived. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Dinglie joined the 343rd Brigade and soon threw himself into intense combat. By the victory of the War of Resistance, another huge disaster was in front of Wang Dinglie.
That is the Central Plains Breakout. At that time, Wang Dinglie was the regimental commander of the first column of the Central Plains Military Region. He and Wang Shusheng broke through to the south. After 37 days of hard fighting day and night, Wang Dinglie led his regiment to march more than 1,000 miles and finally broke out of the enemy's encirclement.
In this process, Wang Dinglie's troops either served as vanguards to open the way, or covered the advance of the troops at the rear, always undertaking the most dangerous and arduous tasks. Miraculously, Wang Dinglie broke through and then waged guerrilla warfare in northwest Hubei, waiting until Liu Deng's army leapt thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains before joining the main force.
After experiencing so much suffering and suffering so many serious injuries, everyone may have to ask, what happened to Wang Dinglie? Wang Dinglie later achieved quite a lot, he served as deputy commander of the Air Force, and he also lived a long life, he died in 2014, living for 96 years.
Who would have thought that the young man who passed by the god of death in the Western Route Army would later live for nearly a hundred years. Again, suffering makes people live longer, and revolutionaries live the longest.
