History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
In the process of social development in modern China, china has been plagued by wars. In these wars, it is precisely because of the emergence of some people with lofty ideals that our country can get rid of the threat of war and build a completely new country.
People who are familiar with the development process of the army will know that if you want to make special merits within the army, it is not easy, after all, everyone's energy is limited, although there will be some brave soldiers on the battlefield, but not everyone can achieve special merit by their own efforts. However, in the war years, there was such a special soldier in our country, who only took half a year to make four special merits, not only that, in the later days, he successfully annihilated nearly two thousand enemy troops with the strength of a company, and it is precisely because of these achievements that he is also known as the "God of War". So, who is this "God of War"? In the years of war, why was he able to make four special merits?
This "god of war" is Li Baocheng, who was born in 1927. In the context of the times, many young Chinese people would participate in the army defending the country without hesitation, and Li Baocheng was no exception. In 1946, at the age of nineteen, Li Baocheng joined the army and became a soldier in the Taihang Military Region. In the course of the army's daily combat, Li Baocheng's performance was very outstanding, so after only a year, he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a platoon leader in the army, which also laid a solid foundation for his later outstanding military achievements.
In the Battle of Luoyang in 1948, Li Baocheng took the initiative to take the lead in rushing to the battlefield, at that time, he successfully annihilated more than twenty enemy fighters with only one person's strength, and later, he successfully went to the interior of the enemy's military camp and captured many of the enemy's weapons in our army. With this contribution, Li Baocheng and his team also won the collective special merit. Not only that, after the Battle of Huaihai began, Li Baocheng also led his soldiers to successfully lay down the enemy's five bunkers, and based on this contribution, Li Baocheng once again made a first-class contribution.
In 1949, Li Baocheng, who performed well, was also incorporated into the Second Field Army of our army. In 1950, when Li Baocheng participated in the suppression of bandits in Guizhou, he also made four special merits in just half a year because of his bravery in combat. It can be said that under such a meritorious background, Li Baocheng has also become a special meritorious person within the army. At that time, many people felt great admiration for this young warrior, after all, war is cruel, and at a young age, he was able to make such a great contribution under such an era background.
After the founding of New China, with the outbreak of the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Li Baocheng's team also came to the front-line battlefield of Korea. In the Battle of Shangganling, Li Baocheng led his soldiers to hold the No. 1 tunnel in the forefront of Shangganling, although it is said that under the battle conditions at that time, Li Baocheng and his soldiers were faced with the embarrassing situation of running out of water and grain, but they held out for half a month under such difficult conditions. At the end of the battle, Li Baocheng's men were only eight people left. Although the casualties in this campaign were very serious, the company led by Li Baocheng successfully annihilated more than 1,760 enemy troops with the strength of only one company, and for our army, such achievements were very outstanding. As a result, Li Baocheng's unit has become an excellent company recognized within our army.
After the end of the campaign, Li Baocheng's company was awarded the collective special merit, and Li Baocheng was also awarded the International Third Class Medal.
Under such a background of military merit, Li Baocheng was praised by everyone as the "God of War", and from this title, it can be seen that everyone also has great respect for Li Baocheng. In later days, in order to commemorate the difficult battle of Shangganling, Li Baocheng and his soldiers also became the prototype of the movie "Shangganling". In that war-torn era at that time, there were countless heroes and fighters who came to the battlefield at a young age, and it can be said that Li Baocheng's contribution to China's military cause in the wartime era was very great. Driven by his example, more and more soldiers will come to the front line of the battlefield and make their own contributions to the defense of the motherland.
After the end of the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Li Baocheng, as an important meritorious hero, also returned to the motherland, and at that time, in order to encourage this "god of war," Li Baocheng was also personally received by the leaders of our country. In the later work process, Li Baocheng also continued to be promoted by his own efforts, and eventually, he also became a deputy chief of staff of our army. From Li Baocheng's lifelong struggle experience, we can feel that he is a very good soldier, and whether in the war years or in the peace years, he can contribute his strength to the development of China's military cause. In 2005, the hero of the war also died of illness.
It can be said that Li Baocheng's life has a certain legendary color, and it can be found from his experience of making four special merits in half a year that he is an out-and-out hero. It was under his leadership and demonstration that Li Baocheng's soldiers were able to exert their greater strength on the battlefield.
epilogue
From Li Baocheng's life experience, we can realize that in fact, in the years of war and chaos, there was no shortage of heroes in our country, and it was based on the efforts of these people that our country was able to successfully get rid of the troubles of war and establish an independent country.
Although in modern society, our country has long been far away from the threat of war, this does not mean that we can forget the existence of these heroes, if it were not for their efforts, then we would not have the happy life we have today. Under the guidance of such a fighting spirit, we should also take their patriotic feelings as the foundation of their future development, and believe that through the joint efforts of all Chinese, our country will also achieve better development prospects in the future society. Although China once lagged behind the trend of world development due to the emergence of war in modern society, I believe that in the days to come, China will also be able to successfully embark on the road of rejuvenation and become a unique and powerful country in the world.
