In 1959, in a remote village in Inner Mongolia, several cars came, only to see a chief get out of the car and ask the villagers about a person, the villagers heard the name, they were silent.
The village chief replied, "Leader, he is a tramp, what are you looking for him for?" ”
The chief was very excited when he heard this: "You know him, can you take me to his house?" ”
So, under the leadership of the village chief, the chief came to a horse barn, and there was a one-armed old man in the stable, ragged and disheveled, and when he saw the arrival of the chief, the old man instantly blushed, went forward to hold the chief's hand, and choked and said, "Instructor, is it you?" ”
When the chief saw the scene in front of him, his heart was very unhappy, and he said angrily: "You are a first-class meritorious hero, how did you live like this?" Go, follow me back to the troops. ”
The conversation between the two made the villagers very curious, why did the chief look for this tramp? What is the identity of this tramp? How did he end up?
In the water forest
With a conversation between the two men, everyone learned that the chief's name was Zhai Wenqing, and this tramp's name was Yu Shuilin, and in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Yu Shuilin blew up two enemy tanks, and was awarded the first class merit, but he also lost his right arm forever, and then returned to his hometown and began a life of seclusion for many years.
In 1925, Yu Shuilin was born in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, and during his childhood, the Japanese army burned and plundered in his hometown, and he had a dream of joining the army in his heart.
Later, after the japanese army surrendered in full, Chinese thought that they could live a peaceful life, but they did not expect that the civil war would break out, and Yu Shuilin resolutely chose to join the army and go to the battlefield to fight heroically.
In 1949, the founding of New China, the Korean War began soon after, the United States openly intervened in the Korean Civil War, and constantly sent fighter planes to bomb near China's 38th Line, the villagers were troubled, Chairman Mao decided to send volunteers to resist the United States and aid Korea.
The three battalions and eight companies of the 352nd Regiment of the 45th Army also went to fight, Yu Shuilin was one of them, in the Korean War conditions were very difficult, at that time the temperature was as low as minus 40 degrees, the transportation of materials was very difficult, there were many soldiers who could only wear single clothes, and when they had the conditions, they would drink a few mouthfuls of hot wild vegetable soup, most of the time the soldiers could only endure hunger, in the face of such difficult conditions, the soldiers were still fighting tenaciously.
Yu Shuilin and the soldiers all held the belief that death was like a homecoming, rushed to the front line, and in the "Hengcheng Counterattack", Yu Shuilin single-handedly blew up two heavy tanks of the US army, making the soldiers look at this nameless pawn with astonishment.
In January 1951, Yu Shuilin's team received orders to go to Hengcheng to block the rear road of the US army, and Zhai Wenqing, who was then the instructor of the three battalions, led the soldiers to divide into two roads and go to the battle site, and after reaching the vicinity of the battle site, Zhai Wenqing found that it was an artillery battalion, very large, with a thousand troops, more than 100 armed vehicles, and most importantly, two heavy tanks.
If we fight with this contingent, our army will certainly suffer a big loss, and at this time the US army has not yet realized that our army is coming, we must seize this opportunity, Zhai Wenqing ordered the soldiers, immediately launched an attack on the US army, after a command, the soldiers launched a crazy shooting at the US army, for a time the fire was continuous, the US army was caught off guard, and several armed vehicles were scrapped by the soldiers of our army.
The soldiers were very excited at this time, but with the sound of "rumbling", the soldiers immediately became alert, the US army actually drove a tank, trying to take cover, our soldiers immediately opened fire on the tank, but the bullets for the heavy tank were like tickling, did not cause any harm, the tank drove closer and closer, a powerful sense of oppression hit the surface.
At this time, if you want to strike at these two tanks, there are only anti-tank grenades, but there are only two people in Yu Shuilin's team, and the anti-tank grenades must be very close to the target, the US army is constantly shooting wildly at this time, there is no way to move forward, and the current situation makes everyone very headache.
Just at the moment of crisis, Yu Shuilin took the initiative to find Zhai Wenqing and applied to blow up the tank, and Zhai Wenqing asked him: "Do you know how difficult this is, you may never come back." ”
Yu Shuilin replied, "I know, but I'm not afraid." His eyes were very firm, and the instructor Zhai Wenqing agreed.
Yu Shuilin began to complete this arduous task, he put the two anti-tank grenades in the rice bag on his body, and rushed forward without turning his head back, at this time the battlefield was in chaos, all kinds of explosions came from around, Yu Shuilin bowed his body, shuttled through the rain of bullets and bullets, suddenly a bullet shot at him, Yu Shuilin turned around, sensitively dodged, he took advantage of the trend to find a small slope, hid behind, the enemy army also thought he was killed, did not continue to attack.
Yu Shuilin saw that the enemy army had relaxed its vigilance at this time, realized that the time had come, he rushed forward with all his might, threw it with force, and threw a grenade on the body of the tank, and with the sound of "bang", one of the tanks was blown to pieces, and this scene made the soldiers of our army cheer high.
But at this time Yu Shuilin did not relax, because the enemy still had a tank, and sure enough, it was not long before the enemy drove out that tank, and because the first tank was destroyed, this time the enemy also raised its vigilance, sent heavy troops to cover, and concentrated on the location of Yu Shuilin.
Yu Shuilin had a plan, he quickly hid behind the first scrapped tank, took an ordinary grenade, threw it at the second tank, for a while the dust flew, this grenade made the enemy army panic instantly, taking advantage of the enemy's lack of attention, he quickly rushed to the location of the second tank, the second anti-tank grenade stuck in the tracks, accompanied by the screams of the enemy, the second tank was also destroyed.
At this time, Yu Shuilin also became the target of public criticism, the enemy concentrated its firepower, countless bullets were fired at Yu Shuilin, Yu Shuilin's right arm was shot, fortunately, it did not endanger his life, the comrades-in-arms let Yu Shuilin go to the rear for bandaging, but Yu Shuilin grabbed a piece of cloth, simply wrapped it, and threw himself into the battlefield again.
Two enemy tanks were blown up one after another, which made the morale of our soldiers soar, in the next battle like a bamboo, Yu Shuilin in the pursuit process, encountered 8 enemy troops hiding, the enemy looked at Yu Shuilin's bloody right arm, thinking that he had no ability to counterattack, he was ready to shoot at him, Yu Shuilin held a grenade in his left hand, stood directly in front of the 8 enemy troops, shouted: "Shoot and don't kill." ”
The enemy army was frightened by Yu Shuilin's combat strength and scattered, and put down the gun one after another, and then when the soldiers of our army arrived, Yu Shuilin fell to the ground at once, and the soldiers sent him to the rear for emergency treatment.
After the battle, Yu Shuilin won the first class merit and was named a second-class combat hero, and the instructor Zhai Wenqing said to him: "You little boy, good looking." ”
However, because the injury was too serious, Yu Shuilin also lost his right arm forever, and he thought that it was a burden to stay in the army, so he secretly handled the discharge from the army without his comrades-in-arms and returned to his hometown.
After returning home, Yu Shuilin, once hiding in the house and did not want to go out, he felt that he was a disabled person, he felt very inferior in his heart, there were no relatives, and there was no source of livelihood, Yu Shuilin began to wander around, life was very poor, and later the village cadres saw that he was pitiful, and decided to let him go to the horse shed to see the horses.
Yu Shuilin worked silently for 10 years, never told anyone about his combat experience, and in the eyes of the villagers, he was a scruffy and poor homeless man.
When his instructor Zhai Wenqing returned from the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he could not see Yu Shuilin's figure, and he knew at this time that Yu Shuilin had retired from the army, and he had been thinking about this heroic and fearless warrior, and in the archives, he only recorded that Yu Shuilin was a Rehe person, and there was no more specific address, so Zhai Wenqing began a long search.
Until 1959, Zhai Wenqing heard that Yu Shuilin was in a village, and he rushed to it overnight, so there was the opening scene, and after some inquiry, the village chief took him to the horse shed.
Yu Shuilin, who was less than 40 years old, was now as old as 50 years old, when he was dragging his one arm and intently feeding the horses, when he saw someone coming, he turned his head to say hello, but he saw the familiar face, his eyes instantly reddened, his voice became trembling, and he said softly to Zhai Wenqing: "Instructor, is it you?" ”
Zhai Wenqing looked at Yu Shuilin now, his face was unbelievable, he did not expect that the original spirited warrior had become like this, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and said painfully: "You are a first-class hero, how did you become like this?" ”
Hearing Zhai Wenqing's words, Yu Shuilin could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly, and then they took Yu Shuilin back to the army to reminisce about the past, and the villagers also learned at this time that this tramp was actually a hero of the War of Resistance.
Later, the local government built a house for Yu Shuilin and sent him some grain, his life improved, and later when he went on a blind date, he met a favorite girl, the two married, Zhai Wenqing made a brand new futon pillow and gave it to him, Yu Shuilin no longer had to live a lonely and lonely life.
In that era, there were many heroes who fought bravely on the battlefield, but when they returned in obscurity, without their selfless dedication, there would be no Guotai Min'an today.
Here, salute to all the revolutionary ancestors!
