In 1953, he was the commander of the 115th Division of the 39th Army of the Volunteer Army
Wang Fuzhi
Taking advantage of the sick vacation, he wanted to return to his hometown that had been absent for a long time, since he joined the army at the age of 12, and now he has been fighting on the battlefield for 18 years, during which he has not returned to his hometown once, let alone written a letter to go home, perhaps his family thinks that he is gone, and he is very remorseful for this.
The main purpose of returning home this time was nothing else, that is, to meet his father. In this way, he simply packed his luggage and embarked on a journey home, he wanted to make up for the debt he owed to his father over the years, so he bought many gifts on the road, ready to go home to give to his father, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to his hometown, Wang Fuzhi was also more and more excited.
However, Wang Fuzhi's visit to relatives this time is a private matter, there is no guard around, but a person returned to his hometown in a very low profile, and in order not to add trouble to the local leaders, he did not inform the local leaders of the news that he wanted to go home, but the gifts bought in his hands were really a bit much, it was not easy for him to hold in his hands, and there was still a long distance from his home at this time.
There was no way, he could only continue to move forward, just when he was already tired, an old man drove the ox cart from behind and stopped him, seeing that he was so tired, he thought of carrying him for a while, Wang Fuzhi immediately said thank you, but he listened to this old man's voice very familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it, but he was too tired now to think about so many things.
Picture | Wang Fuzhi
In this way, Wang Fuzhi sat on the "old uncle's" ox cart, on the way the two also chatted about the day, for a long time did not chat with the hometown people, again heard this familiar accent, Wang Fuzhi felt a lot in his heart, so he let go of the talk, chatted and chatted about them on the internet, and later they found that each other were people in a place, and chatted more happily.
"Look at your big bag, you are going home to visit your relatives, why didn't your family come to pick you up?" The old man asked.
Wang Fuzhi replied, "Yes, old uncle, I haven't been back for 18 years, and my family doesn't know I'm back yet." ”
The old man said: "You see that you are about the same age as my son, but he left home at the age of 12, and now I don't know whether he is dead or alive!" ”
"My son didn't have a mother when he was 5 years old, and I single-handedly pulled him up, but when he was 12 years old, he ran to become a soldier, and then he left home, and there is still no letter..."
The more he heard the back, the more nervous Wang Fuzhi's mood became, because the experience that the old uncle said was the same as the memory in his impression, was he his father who had not been seen for many years? He was very happy at the thought of this possibility, but this kind of thing was wrong, wouldn't it be a joke, so he tentatively asked:
Old man, what is your son's name? Maybe I don't know him!
”
The old man replied with a sad face:
My son's name is Wang Fuzhi, do you know?
"This can stop Wang Fuzhi, isn't that person himself?" He looked at his father, whose face was wrinkled and white-haired, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't know how his father had come to be alone in the past ten years, and he thought that his eyes were red.
The old man who did not know the truth, seeing that this young man had been staring at himself, his eyes were still a little red, and he was a little flustered, and he hurriedly asked:
Are you okay?
At this time, Wang Fuzhi could not bear it any longer, and the emotions that had just been suppressed were even stronger in this voice of concern, and suddenly tears poured out, and he choked and shouted to the old man:
Dad, it's me, I'm back...
The next second, Wang Fuzhi went forward to hug the sluggish old uncle, felt the Wang Fuzhi in his arms, the old man finally reacted, it turned out that the person who took his car home to visit his relatives was the son who had been away from home for 18 years, it was 18 years, he waited for 18 years, and finally waited until the son came home, and then they returned home, Wang Fuzhi told his father about the interesting things about the army...
I believe that many people are more curious, why did the father and son not recognize each other at the first time, but through conversation and speculation? Who is Wang Fuzhi? Let's take a look.
Wang Fuzhi was 12 years old to lie about the age of joining the army
In September 1923, Wang Fuzhi was born in a peasant family in Shaanxi, the family has been farmers for generations, living in great poverty, unfortunately his mother died when he was 5 years old, his father had to take care of things in the family, very hard, the young Wang Fuzhi is also very sensible, at a young age will help his father and share some trivial matters in the family.
At that time, the warlords fought for many years, most of the people lived in the depths of the water, Wang Fuyi's family was no exception, and at that time, Shaanxi, whether it was transportation or economy, was very backward, Wang Fuyi's family suffered from war for many years, and finally his father could only go to the landlord's house to work in order to make a living, and he got up early every day and worked in the dark, in exchange for a meager income to subsidize the family.
Although Wang Fuzhi is not very old, but very intelligent and sensible, he knows that his father is not easy, so he also went to the landlord's house as a cattle herding baby, although his father strongly opposed this, but he could not help Wang Fuzhi, and finally he could only go by him, in addition to some anger, more is moved, how can such a small child be so sensible?
Under the efforts of the father and son, although there is no great improvement in life, but in the end it is still passable, during this period the father will earn most of the money, saved, seeing that Wang Fuzhi is about to reach the age of studying, although his father is only a farmer, but he is also very clear: only reading can change his fate, so even if he smashes pots and sells iron, he must provide for his son to study.
After his father saved enough money, he sent him to a private school, but the situation at home was far worse than he imagined, and after three months of study, the family could not support it, so he had no choice but to let Wang Fuzhi drop out of school and go home. During this period, he received enlightenment education, and his heart was determined to change his destiny, and unlike his father's view, he believed that changing his destiny was not only the way of reading.
In 1935, to crush
Chang
The Northeast Army's "encirclement and suppression" of the Shaanxi-Gansu region,
Liu Zhidan
He led the Red Army troops throughout northern Shaanxi and constantly maneuvered with the enemy. Later, Liu Zhidan was temporarily stationed in Wang Fuzhi's hometown, and every day Wang Fuzhi would "pass by" here, watching the soldiers training, singing military songs, and marching in line, and an idea came to his mind, he wanted to join the army, wanted to join the Red Army, even if there was a "young communist battalion" in the army at that time, but at that time he was only 12 years old, and his age still did not meet the standard.
Pictured| Liu Zhidan
But he still wanted to try, Wang Fuzhi because of the reason of perennial labor, although only 12 years old, but looks like a 16-year-old child, tall and tall, looks very "old", whether he can join the army, it depends on the power of this face.
So he summoned up the courage to go to the garrison of the "Young Communist Battalion", stopped a patrolling Red Army, and asked:
I want to join the Red Army and drive out the enemy with you, okay?
This Red Army looked at the "young man" in front of him and habitually asked him about his age, which was really difficult for Wang Fuzhi to answer.
If he answered truthfully about his age, he would definitely not be able to join the army, so what should he do? Suddenly he asked the warrior, "
How old do you look at me?
This was something that the Red Army soldiers did not expect, but still with their own feelings, they replied:
I see you're about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Wang Fuzhi immediately followed his words and lied about his age, claiming that he was 16 years old.
The Red Army asked Wang Fuzhi to go home and wait for the news, and the next day he would tell him the result, and when he returned home, he told his father about his joining the army, and his father was just surprised. However, not only did he not oppose Wang Fuzhi's joining the army, but he also supported his decision very much, after all, being a soldier could at least fill his stomach, which was much better than following himself.
The next day, Wang Fuzhi received the news that he had fulfilled his wish for a small Red Army, and was also the youngest Red Army in this unit at that time, but only he knew this. During this period, he had a very happy life by studying combat lessons, learning theoretical knowledge within the party, and helping the masses of the people sweep the land and cultivate land, and soon after the anti-encirclement and suppression war broke out.
Disgusted with the Kuomintang, he had the idea of leaving the army
In August of the same year, the Kuomintang Jin army invaded the revolutionary base areas in northern Shaanxi, Liu Zhidan led the Red Army troops to fight back, after a firefight, our army successfully destroyed a regiment of the other side, the other side had to retreat urgently, after the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression war, the two Soviet areas of northern Shaanxi and Shaanxi-Gansubian were connected for the first time, which also provided a foothold for the Long March army that went north to resist Japan.

Two months later, shortly after the establishment of the Red 15th Army, Liu Zhidan and Liu Zhidan

The battle plan of "besieging the city and fighting for reinforcements" was formulated to attack the 110th Division of the Northeast Army that came to reinforce, and this time in battle, the "Young Communist Battalion" of the Red Army was also assigned to the task, and the Young Communist Battalion had a total of about 200 people, and their main task was to occupy a high ground.
At that time, the Northeast 110th Division occupied an important commanding heights in an emergency, and used this place as a defensive point to resist the attack of the Red Army, although our army's firepower was fierce, it still failed to cause substantial damage to the enemy, and the battle became more and more intense, in order to break this stalemate, the Young Communist Battalion was sent out and asked to occupy a high ground.
The commander of the Young Communist Battalion divided them into three teams, one team was responsible for confronting the enemy head-on, and the remaining two teams swerved back to the flanks of the enemy's positions and caught the enemy by surprise. After receiving the order, Wang Fuzhi and others acted according to the plan, and in the face of the cruel war, they did not have the slightest fear, and there was a trace of excitement in their eyes, after all, this opportunity to go to the battlefield was not easy to come by.
Although Wang Fuzhi was not very old, he was not at all soft on the battlefield, and he raised his own shuttle (
suō
The dart rushed toward an enemy, and that enemy had just raised his gun when he was subdued by Wang Fuzhi with a dart, and he shouted at the enemy:
Give you a chance to shoot and don't kill!
After the enemy heard this, he immediately handed the gun in his hand to Wang Fuzhi, so that he had the first gun since joining the army.

After the end of the war, Wang Fuzhi was transferred to the 3rd Company of the 223rd Regiment of the 75th Division as a correspondent, and later he was assigned by his superiors to study surveying and mapping in the surveying and mapping training class of the Corps Headquarters, where he met an acquaintance, who was the enemy who had been handed over by Wang Fuzhi before, and after being captured by our army, he accepted the education of our army and took the initiative to join the Red Army troops.
Subsequently, Wang Fuzhi became a Communist Party member at the recommendation of the army, and he was only 13 years old at the time, and it is not surprising that he is one of the youngest party members.
Since the Xi'an Incident, the Anti-Japanese National United Front was established, the Red Army was immediately reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and Wang Fuzhi's unit was reorganized into the 687th Regiment of the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
When he first became a soldier in order to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek, and now he is incorporated into the National Revolutionary Army, has the Red Army not been in vain in the past few years?
Wang Fuzhi has always been unable to think of this problem, as long as he thinks about the performance of the Kuomintang soldiers on the battlefield before, he has made up his mind not to follow Chiang Kai-shek, he wants to find another unit to help the poor, if he really can't find it in the end, he will go directly home to farm, which is much better than doing things under Chiang Kai-shek.
After consultation, several of them decided to leave the current unit, but before this matter could be carried out, they were organized by the chief of the section
High-farmer axe
Knowing this, he angrily found a few people and asked, "I know what several of you are planning, but it is not right for you to do so." "The few people who were educated still insisted on their original ideas and were unwilling to stay in the army.
Pictured| Chiang Kai-shek
Wang Fuzhi thinks that he is right, but he is criticized here, and he is very unconvinced in his heart:
I think we have done nothing wrong, we are loyal to the Party and the Red Army, but we are not willing to give Chiang Kai-shek his life!
Gao Nong Axe immediately heard the key content, it turned out that it was still related to Chiang Kai-shek, young people are impulsive, a tendon, it is no wonder they think so.
Therefore, Gao Nong said in a serious tone: "Uniting with Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan is the decision of the Party Central Committee, if you are really loyal to the Party, you must believe in the Party, holding high the banner of anti-Japanese resistance is the desire of the people, and now no matter what kind of party or personage it is for the sake of resisting Japan, we should give support to it, and since Chiang Kai-shek agreed to resist Japan, then we should also support him." ”
After listening to Gao Nong's axe, Wang Fuzhi immediately figured it out that now the situation in our country is precarious, the foreign aggressors are wantonly invading our territory, their means are extremely cruel, they are even more hateful than the Kuomintang, the more he thinks about it, the more ashamed he is, and he blames himself for being too small, and because Wang Fuzhi and others came out, later our army specially held a relevant education class, hoping that the soldiers can put aside the prejudices of the past and unite to resist Japan, and now as long as they can resist Japan together, they are comrades-in-arms, and they should not always drill the tip of the bull's horn.
Shortly after this, the New Fourth Army was formally established, and Wang Fuzhi was transferred to the 22nd Regiment of the 8th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army as a communications staff officer because of his outstanding performance, and was later promoted to the head of the communications unit of the headquarters of the 3rd Division.
After the outbreak of the civil war in 1946, Wang Fuzhi has become the chief of the operations section, in order to resist the attack of the Nationalist army, he continued to fight with the team, in the sibao Linjiang, Sanxia Jiangnan and other battles, he has made many outstanding contributions, during this period he also suffered a lot of injuries, but these wounds he never paid attention to, even if there are wounds on the body, he can still bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield.
During the Liberation War, Wang Fuzhi served as the commander of the Northeast Democratic United Army, the deputy commander of the 14th Regiment of the 5th Division, and the commander of the 343rd Regiment of the 39th Army of Siye, and later he joined the unit
Siping Defense Battle, Liaoshen Battle, Pingjin Battle
Wait, all the way from the northeast to Guangxi, but soon after the founding of New China, a new crisis appeared in our country.
Buried in the cave for more than thirty hours, he was rescued by two flies
In 1950, the Outbreak of the Korean War, Wang Fuzhi also entered Korea to participate in the battle, this is three years, in these three years he participated in a lot of battles of all sizes, each time can turn the danger into a disaster, only one battle, almost let him lose his life, no one can imagine, the last to save him is two flies, let's take a look:
This incident occurred in August 1952, when Wang Fuzhi was the acting commander of the 115th Division of the 39th Army, when the United Nations Army was stationed on an important high ground, under the command of Wang Fuzhi, our army successfully took this high ground, and at a very small cost, in order to sum up the experience of this operation, the Volunteer Army Headquarters sent a reporter from the People's Daily to interview Wang Fuzhi and the soldiers.
After the interview, Wang Fuzhi took the reporter to a cave with him, which was the headquarters where he usually discussed the battle plan, but not long after they sat down, they heard a loud noise, which shook their ears and kept buzzing, it turned out that the United Nations army was not willing to be taken of the high ground, and specially sent bombers to retaliate against our army.
Coincidentally, the bomb dropped by the enemy plane hit the command headquarters, and the headquarters collapsed in an instant, except for Wang Fuzhi, the reporter, and a commander, the rest of them were killed on the spot, but Wang Fuzhi's situation was not much better, they were now trapped at the bottom of the cave, and they were crushed by the heavy rocks that collapsed, plus they were now injured.
The situation on Wang Fuzhi's side soon attracted the attention of the Volunteer Army Command.
Peng Dehuai
I called and asked if anyone had found it now, but the voice from the other side was sad:
We will certainly try our best to rescue Wang Fuzhi and others, even if they have been sacrificed in the end, they are bound to transport their remains back to China in their entirety!
On the headquarters side, Peng Dehuai hung up the phone with a heavy heart, and his eyes were still a little red when he looked carefully, at this time, in addition to the sound of the radio, everyone tacitly did not make a sound, after all, Wang Fuzhi was a senior commander at that time, if he really sacrificed, it would be an irreparable loss for our army, so our army sent a large number of soldiers to dig and rescue.

At this time, the warriors outside the cave did not know the situation of Wang Fuzhi and others, but they firmly believed that as long as they insisted on digging, they would definitely find people, so they began to dig day and night, when the cave collapsed too badly, and there was no accurate position, they were like headless flies. However, as the minutes passed, the warriors still did not gain a bit...
Look at Wang Fuzhi's side again, he was crushed by the rubble in the wood, causing him to be unconscious for a while, and when he woke up, he felt as if he had a thousand pounds on his body, and even simple movement was a little difficult, but he thought that dying here was too humiliating, as a soldier he should be sacrificed on the battlefield, holding this idea, holding on to his spirit, shouting the names of reporters and other commanders, until his voice was already dumb, he got a response, and he was sure that only three of them were still alive.
Moreover, among the three of them, one of them was injured in the leg, the other was smashed several ribs, unable to move at all, Wang Fuzhi spent several hours, finally removed the rubble on his body, he hurried to find a self-help tool, it was difficult to find a telephone, the result was not possible, Wang Fu was angry, and then found several washbasins and lunch boxes.
In order to attract the attention of the people above, the three people began to constantly knock on the washbasin and lunch box, and as a result, day and night passed, still did not receive any response, what was worse was that the air in the cave was getting thinner and thinner, the three people were very weak after a day of tossing, time passed little by little, and finally they did not even have urine, and everyone's body fell into a state of extreme lack of water.
Picture | Wang Fuzhi (center) and his rescued comrades-in-arms
The rescuers above were even more anxious, the time had passed for dozens of hours, and after staying in the cave for so long, the chances of surviving were very slim, when they even had the coffin ready, everyone's expression was very heavy, and no one wanted to see this result unless there was really a miracle.
Not to mention, some people just don't deserve to die. In the afternoon, a sapper in charge of cleaning the scene found two flies flying out of the cave, and after seeing this scene, he was very surprised and thought: "
Since the flies can fly out of the hole, it means that there is still air in the cave, and maybe the division commander still has to save them!
Subsequently, he immediately reported the news to his superiors and asked them to decide.
After learning this news, everyone was happy, as long as there was a little hope, they all had to try, the political commissar immediately ordered to increase the strength of the troops, all the staff with the fastest speed to dig, and finally after more than thirty hours of excavation, they saw the weak three people, the three people hugged each other, thinking that the temperature in the cave was too low, they warmed each other, after this scene the warriors saw it, all of them were moved, after determining that the three people were still alive, everyone wept with joy.
Father and son finally reunited
In 1953, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea had come to an end, some volunteer troops had returned to China, and Wang Fuzhi also returned to China with the troops, but the superiors took into account his body and decided to give him a small long holiday to adjust his body.
And he and his father have been missing for more than ten years, and I don't know if my father is living well now, so he immediately left to return to his hometown, that is, the scene at the beginning of the article, 18 years, Wang Fuzhi and his father have changed their appearance, wrinkles have crawled all over their father's face, the two did not recognize each other is normal, can only say that their encounter is quite interesting.
After Wang Fuzhi recognized his father, he always took his father with him to live, as far as possible to compensate for the filial piety that was late in these years, and let him live in peace in his old age!
