In 1988, a staff member of the Hechuan Archives Office in Chongqing Found a Yellowed Good News when sorting out the files, and the date of this good news was 1953, a full 36 years have passed since now, which inevitably aroused his curiosity! On closer inspection, he was even more shocked that the good news was jointly issued by the Chinese Volunteer Army Headquarters and the Political Department. This is an important document of the country, how can it be lost here? So I quickly read the contents of the good news, which read: "Comrade Jiang Cheng, your excellency, founded his meritorious deeds in the Battle of Shangganling, and has been approved to record the merits of the first class once, and in addition to giving awards according to merit, hereby announce the good news." ”
Who is Jiang Cheng? What kind of achievements did you make in the Battle of Shangganling? And this good news that should have been sent to the home with a gong and a drum, why did it lie quietly in the archive room for 36 years? After careful inspection by the staff, they saw that the back was written to be returned from the eighth district, and there was no such person! Why can't people who have made great achievements in battle find out? What went wrong? It has been 36 years, is Jiang Cheng's old hero still alive? If he were alive, where would he be? Why did I lose contact with the organization? New friends can click on the first one, which is convenient to review the previous videos and not miss the wonderful content afterwards!
The people's fighters drive away the tigers and leopards, sacrificing their lives and forgetting their deaths to preserve peace
In 1928, Jiang Cheng was born in a poor peasant family, and the entire adolescence was spent in war and turmoil, not to mention reading and studying, and eating every day became a luxury!
Especially in 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, Japan launched an all-out war of aggression against China, 9-year-old Jiang Cheng saw the country breaking the mountains and rivers, the villagers were even more displaced, and his heart was determined to be a soldier to kill the devil! But because of his young age, he was rejected several times!
Until 1949, the 21-year-old Jiang Cheng joined the People's Liberation Army and became a soldier in the machine artillery company of the 92nd Regiment of the 31st Division of the 11th Army!
In 1950, the Outbreak of the Korean War, the United States imperialists into Korea to fight, the flames of war once burned to the border of our country, in response to the call of the motherland, just a few months after joining the army, he went to the Korean battlefield with the 12th Army of the Volunteer Army to participate in the battle, the Korean battlefield is far more brutal than imagined, in addition to facing the attack of enemy artillery, but also to resist the cold, and Jiang Cheng, in such a difficult environment, the line of fire was promoted and the line of fire joined the party, he has participated in more than 400 battles of all sizes, which can be described as a hero who came out of the rain of bullets and bullets. It was also because of the baptism of artillery fire that he quickly became an excellent volunteer soldier!
Battle of Shangganling: One man annihilated more than 400 enemy troops and shot down one enemy plane!
In November 1952, in the Battle of Shangganling, because Jiang Cheng was a veteran of hundreds of battles, he was assigned an important role as a heavy machine gunner, as a soldier in the most advanced position, Jiang Cheng's 92nd Regiment had just fought a hard battle with the enemy, and was very tired at the time, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, there was no time for respite, and the United Nations army had to use absolute air supremacy to shoot wildly over the 92nd Regiment position and drop bombs!
And Jiang Cheng hid in a deep pit, according to the old man's recollection: When the plane rushed down, I aimed the muzzle of the gun at its head, and when the plane was about to fly away, I hit its tail, I couldn't care about whether it could be hit or not, anyway, it was a strafing shot, but I didn't expect that a low-flying enemy plane was hit by Jiang Cheng, shaking and falling!
Many people say that they hit airplanes with guns, isn't this a fantasy? But you can clearly see the record of the machine gun shooting down the plane on the good news of the old man's meritorious service, which is the feat that our heroes have done!
And the hero himself was also seriously injured, his abdomen was hit by shrapnel, pulled open a large opening, the intestines are flowing out, but Jiang Cheng, who was in the middle of the battle, could not care about the pain, directly stuffed the intestines back, tore the clothes into strips, casually bandaged it, and continued to fight, this battle, he used heavy machine guns to kill more than 400 enemy people, and shot down an enemy plane, effectively suppressing the enemy counterattack, until the end of the war, he did not know the pain, because of the heavy injury, directly fainted on the battlefield, was seen by the comrades who rushed to the battlefield, Rushed to the hospital, after the doctor's full rescue, this is to pick up a life! To this day, he still has scars on his body after he recovered from his injuries!
It was also because of this battle that Jiang Cheng won the first class merit and was promoted to the commander of the machine gun company of the first battalion of the 92nd Regiment of the 31st Division of the 12th Army of the Volunteer Army!
In 1954 with the army back to the embrace of the motherland, and stationed in Jiangshan, according to the Jiangshan City Chronicle, Jiang Cheng's 31st Division at that time because of the country's economic difficulties, can not provide the required barracks, they are self-sufficient, Jiang Cheng received the task is to lay 5 square meters of rammed stone per day, but Jiang Cheng did not do this work, just began to complete the task, he has been pondering, and watch how others do, soon he kept up with the progress, and can complete the task of 12 square meters per day under the premise of quality and quantity, Therefore, he won the 3rd class merit again for his excellent performance!
In 1955, in response to the call of the motherland, he returned to his hometown as a veteran, and all his belongings were only a pair of shoes, a pair of socks, a towel, and a set of clothes, the most valuable of which was the 16-foot cloth ticket issued to him by the army, everyone said that he returned to his hometown, and then he only brought such a little thing, he thought he was just an ordinary veteran, did not know that he had made great achievements on the battlefield, and he never argued with people, let alone talked to people about things on the battlefield. Because the comrades who fought with him were all sacrificed, their eyes would be red whenever they talked about it!
Become a sericulture technician and lead the villagers to get rich!
After returning to his hometown, he did not give up on himself, but with the skillful sericulture technology of his youth, he became a silkworm technician, said to be a technician, in fact, he was a temporary worker at that time, and it was particularly hard, from the grafting of mulberry trees, silkworm breeding to silkworm cocoon silk extraction, etc., every link needs a wealth of experience, but he never shouts bitterness, does not shout tired, but strives to be the first, and even often helps the farmers in the eight villages of ten miles to raise silkworms!
Although the prestige is there, but the family will sometimes be too poor to open the pot, the child is even more complaining, his father does not have time to accompany himself, and did not earn a lot of money, Jiang Cheng's son Jiang Minghui said, until now, do not want to eat sweet potatoes, because when he was a child, his father's salary was meager, the family could rarely eat rice or pasta, and could only eat cheaper sweet potatoes, grind the sweet potatoes into powder, and then bake cakes, cook porridge, and now mention sweet potatoes will be acid water!
The village built 10 kilometers of gravel roads, but Jiang Cheng owed a huge amount of 2400 yuan!
Everyone knows that if you want to build roads first, but in that era, although the people in Longxing area also supported road construction, but the government paid part of the funds for road construction, for 10 kilometers of road, the funds are far from enough, this problem is difficult to solve for a while, and Jiang Cheng, because of his prestige, was elected by everyone to be responsible for road construction, as the person in charge, he stood up and persuaded everyone: You only manage to build roads, money I will think of a way!
Later, he secretly borrowed money from the bank from his family, even if he was a worker in the city, his annual salary was only a few tens of yuan, and he borrowed a full 2400 yuan, he was still a temporary worker, and he still failed to pay back this huge amount for 8 years!
Until 8 years later, he called his 3rd son, Jiang Minghui, to him and asked: Old Third, how much money do you have? This made Jiang Minghui giggle in his heart and answer: What happened?
Look at the father's expression to know that things are not ordinary, and sure enough, when the father said that the debt was 2400 yuan, Jiang Minghui sat paralyzed on the ground for a while, to know that he had a girlfriend who had talked for 3 years, and now it was difficult to save 1000 yuan on hand, ready to get married, but the father paid the debt, he could not leave his father alone!
In the end, Jiang Minghui not only gave 1,000 yuan to his father, but also sold the house, and borrowed a lot of money from his friends, fortunately, after his girlfriend learned, although he was very angry and aggrieved, he also expressed understanding, but because Jiang Minghui sold the house, when he got married, he could only choose to enter the house, as a door-to-door son-in-law, he lived in his mother-in-law's house, which also made Jiang Minghui unable to look up for a long time!
Forgotten by the country for 36 years because of a word difference!
After 36 years, that is, in 1988, this good news attracted the attention of the leaders, vowing to find this old hero! They mobilized all the staff to go looking for it, but there was never a clue, until a staff member accidentally met Jiang Cheng's brother Jiang Qipeng's former principal, because the principal was very impressed with Jiang Qipeng, so they remembered Jiang Cheng's name, when they were chatting, talking about this matter, although the principal did not know whether Jiang Cheng was looking for a hero, but the principal raised a question, that is, the Jiang Cheng he knew was a Longxing township person, and the hero on the file was a Xinglong township person, could it be that the staff at that time made a mistake?
He told the staff of his speculation, and the staff insisted that they would rather run more than miss the old hero's idea, so they went to Jiang Cheng's home in Longxing Township!
To everyone's surprise, the old man with thinning hair and age spots in front of him is the hero they are looking for!
And when he got this 36 years late meritorious news, the old man took a very calm look at it, and put it in the drawer!
When the staff asked: "Old man, have you ever regretted this life?" ”
The 91-year-old Jiang Cheng said without hesitation, "No regrets!" So many battles, so many of my comrades are dead and crippled, and I'm still alive! ”
The staff said apologetically: "For decades, no one knows that you are a hero in the Battle of Shangganling, regret?" ”
The old man laughed: "I am for the country, for the people, the country and the people have also given me a lot, there is nothing to regret."
The government staff turned Jiang Lao's temporary worker status into a regular worker, and implemented his retirement treatment, he can receive a retirement allowance of 80 yuan per month, when the government personnel asked him what other requirements, Jiang Cheng smiled and said: No, now it is very good!
In Jiang Cheng's subtlety, Jiang Cheng's children have been very independent since childhood, never thought of relying on others, even if they knew that their father was a first-class hero, they never thought of using their father's identity for personal gain!
This is the ordinary and great hero Jiang Cheng, in the war years, sacrificing his life and forgetting death to defend his family and defend the country, in the era of peace, conscientious and silent dedication, pay tribute to the old heroes!
