As a soldier, it is the duty to kill the enemy, and winning the battle is also a lifelong pursuit, and the smoke of war on the battlefield is extinguished in an instant, and people also become extremely fragile and small. For a soldier, meritorious service is a goal, and being forced to become a prisoner of war is regarded as a permanent disgrace for a soldier's life, and at the same time, the achievements made on the battlefield will be buried in an instant.
In the twentieth century, China's artillery fire was rampant, and the civil war broke out after the Japanese war of aggression, and many capable people emerged at the time of life and death. In order to support the country's great righteousness and put personal life and death at risk, leading ordinary people all the way to a peaceful and beautiful future, and producing heroes in a chaotic world, Zheng Tingdi showed his outstanding combat ability at this time.
After being captured alive as a prisoner of war in the War of Liberation, he was perceived by the Communist Party's style and guiding ideology, realized the problems existing within himself and the Kuomintang, and promptly dissuaded his wife from going to Taiwan.
Is this really the case that Zheng Tingdi's attitude changed after being captured alive, and he was framed and discriminated against as a coward?
At the age of 32, Zheng Tingdi participated in the Bloody War with Japan as a low-ranking battalion commander, in which he did not take a step back in the face of the fierce attack of Japan in order to protect the motherland and the people, and finally he was shot several times and did not want to retreat. Two years later, he fought against the Japanese "male soldiers" at Kunlun Pass without changing his face, fighting side by side with the soldiers and shooting and killing senior Japanese generals. In the battle to Burma, in the face of unfamiliar environment and powerful enemies, he was ordered to return to the motherland after the superior commanders were killed in battle, and led the soldiers to return to the motherland after the death of the superior commanders.
Zheng Tingdi has participated in many wars of all sizes over the years, and the cruelty of the battlefield has not hesitated to retreat, and has always chosen to be loyal to the Kuomintang government. From every war, we can also understand that the word timidity has nothing to do with Zheng Tingji, and there is a big gap between the cruelty of the environment and the inner satisfaction and sincerity.
In the Liaoshen Campaign on October 28, 1948, Zheng Tingdi was the commander of the Kuomintang 49th Army at this time, and he had rich combat experience along the way. The strength of the Communist Party at this time was far from that of the Japanese army, perhaps because of the disparity in combat ability and the idea of light enemy, Zheng Tingji was captured alive by the Communist Party in the war and became a prisoner of war.
After Zheng Tingdi was captured alive, he could not express his inner humiliation for a while, and he later said that when he fell from a military commander with an unlimited future to the bottom, he was desperate and knew that his military identity in this life had changed from then on. Forced to accept the arrangement with the determination to die, the severe cold suffered by the body is no longer important to the heart only to die, the wife and children are the greatest motivation for their survival at this time, and the observer of the Communist Party's action arrangement is always ready to serve the Kuomintang until the last moment if it is faced with unreasonable arrangements.
After being imprisoned for several days, Zheng was transferred to the Northeast People's Liberation Army Officer Corps in Harbin, which was mainly used to detain Kuomintang officials caught alive in the war. After being led to this place for the first time, Zheng Tingji was shocked by the harmonious and natural scene in front of him, and in his imagination, he must have been a place of bitter wind and rain, and perhaps also suffered from physical and mental torture.
Zheng Tingdi saw the thousands of thoughts in the hearts of his former colleagues, when in the previous official arena, when everyone could sit down and chat calmly, and fight for the sake of interests, but now they are like passers-by living outside the red dust to communicate and talk about the activities. At this time, Zheng Tingdi questioned Chiang Kai-shek's leadership in the Kuomintang and compared the policies and styles of the Communist Party.
After capturing these senior Kuomintang officials alive, the Communist Party had a very clear attitude toward these generals who had made outstanding contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan, and they should give preferential treatment to these generals, who could choose to maintain contact with the outside world through letters and other means, and exhorted the Kuomintang fighters to abandon resistance. For the support and praise of the officers who actively cooperate, if they are resolutely unwilling and will not take strong measures to force, everything is only on their own.
Zheng Tingdi was found by the regimental political commissar a few days after he was imprisoned, and the general content of the conversation was whether he was willing to persuade Zheng Tingfeng to abandon resistance, his brother zheng Tingfeng was currently the commander of the Kuomintang 94th Army. Zheng Tingdi had thought about it before talking, and before he was captured alive, he also ate and drank with his clan brother to discuss the military, so he was not happy, and now he was in this situation. Zheng Tingdi hesitated and did not give a timely reply, after fighting with the communist army, he knew that the disparity in strength between the two armies was very large, and it was only a matter of time before Zheng Tingfeng was defeated.
Zheng Tingdi's ideological changes before and after his imprisonment were so great that he was impressed by the sincerity of the Communist People's Liberation Army, and the instructions in the Kuomintang troops were to prefer to kill by mistake rather than let go, while the Communists treated people with sincerity and did not vent their anger on the prisoners of war. In contrast to the style of the two parties, the KUOMINTANG is small and unconfident, and it is even more brutal and unkind to the Chinese than the foreign invaders.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Tingji wrote a letter to his brother, in which he spoke sincerely and sincerely, and frankly admitted that his original position was wrong. Zheng Tingdi read the letter on the radio station in Harbin under the leadership of the Communist Party, and although his brother did not heed the advice and gave up resistance, he also achieved a positive role in making the headlines of the newspaper, causing the psychological defense line to disintegrate the soldiers fighting on the front line of the Kuomintang, realizing that he was currently in a wrong position, and effectively shaking the hearts of the army.
In the media and people's mutual communication, this matter is known to more and more people, and Zheng Tingji's wife Feng Lijuan is very happy to survive after learning that her husband was arrested. After her husband's defeat and capture, he couldn't sleep all night, always worried about his husband's safety, as a military family member, he was not stupid and timid, taking good care of his five children and mother-in-law, and his low-key life waited for the news of her husband's return.
At that time, the Kuomintang was on the verge of disintegration, and they planned to flee to Taiwan with their relatives, and all the connections were used to get a ferry ticket. Feng Lijuan was very troubled after getting the precious ferry ticket, not knowing whether to leave immediately, Zheng Tingji learned about the internal situation of the Kuomintang and knew the role of the radio station, so she immediately read another letter with attention, which was written to his wife. In his letter, Mr. Cheng persuaded Ms. Feng not to go to Taiwan, where the Communist Party had promised to reunite them.
After hearing her husband's radio persuasion, Feng Lijuan immediately gave up the idea of going to Taiwan, carefully taking care of the children and the elderly and waiting for her husband to return home for reunion. Feng Lijuan married Zheng Tingdi at the age of seventeen, and the two respected each other like Bin En for many years, and experienced a parting of life and death that is more worth cherishing.
The long wait was brutal, with a gap of eleven years between Zheng's arrest in 1948 and his release in 1959. In the past eleven years, Zheng Tingji actively cooperated with the organizational arrangements, and his life was plain and comfortable, while the life of his wife Feng Lijuan was full of hardships, due to the special status of the family of the prisoner of war, there was no job willing to hire, and he had no choice but to file for divorce a year before Zheng Tingji's release. Zheng Tingji promised to be very happy, he knew that his wife had taken care of the family's heartache over the years, and he could not do anything but divorce to reduce her bondage.
In 1959, when Zheng Tingji finally waited for the day of release, the first ten people were released, and he felt very unrealistic in his heart, knowing that when he heard his daughter speak at the meeting, he knew that everything was real. Feng Lijuan and her children settled down in Beijing with the help of two old friends and went to school. After Zheng Tingdi's release, after the founding of New China, he did not forget this part of the group, and both husband and wife were reused.
Suddenly, one day, a staff member told Zheng Tingdi that the chief would send a car to pick him up tomorrow, and Zheng Tingdi did not know it, so he was very nervous. The next day, after getting on the bus as promised, I met Premier Zhou, and I was no stranger to Premier Zhou, and I already had admiration. After Premier Zhou cordially inquired about the latest situation, he asked his wife Feng Lijuan about the current situation, and after hearing about the divorce, he was shocked and united everyone to promote the two to reconcile.
Zheng Tingdi and Feng Lijuan broke through the mirror with the care of Premier Zhou and the help of everyone, and life continued to go on simply. Zheng Tingji woke up in time after knowing that he had taken the wrong position, actively cooperated with the work, and the wise wife chose not to go to Taiwan in persuasion in order to harvest a happy and satisfying life for the family, and the two joined hands to meet a better future in New China.
