The country is picturesque, how many heroes at a time! --Song Sushi
Looking back at the past in the 21st century of Guotai Min'an, we can always see a fearless and courageous figure charging forward for the victory of justice.
They are worried about the worries of the world before the world, and they are happy after the world, but they are indifferent to fame and fortune in their great achievements, and they only want to stay clean and clean.
Jingo Iron Horse Shaw Wanshi
2009, which was not a special year, was given a special meaning by a hero.
In a ward of the Second People's Hospital in a corner of Daliangshan, Sichuan, a retired veteran cadre slowly closed his eyes, felt no pain, and left peacefully with relief. The
The old man died at the age of 104 and was named Xiao Wanshi.
After his death, Xiao Wanshi's children were surprised to discover the true identity that his father had been hiding, as well as the untold story behind him, when sorting out the relics for him.
It turned out that his father was an anti-Japanese hero or a hero with many military achievements! He has made ten first-class merits and twelve second-class merits. And these glorious achievements were not known to the world until after his death,
This patriotic soldier, Xiao Wanshi, was also re-recognized.
In 1905, in the village of Xiyou in Xingtai, Hebei Province, a peasant couple gave birth to their third child, which was Xiao Wanshi.
The third of five siblings. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xiao Wanshi's two older brothers joined the guerrillas, and under the influence of their brothers and their own high patriotic feelings, Xiao Wanshi subsequently joined the local guerrillas.
But the war was always brutal, and the unfortunate thing happened in 1937.
Xiao Wanshi's family and villagers were brutally killed by the Japanese, the fate of the two brothers was also frozen in the guerrilla war, and the eldest brother gloriously sacrificed his second brother but his life and death were uncertain. The blow of losing his loved ones made Xiao Wanshi extremely sad, and he hated the Japanese army even more!
After joining the Eighth Route Army, Xiao Wanshi had no fear in front of the enemy, and was even more famous in the army
"Don't die"
。 He personally led a soldier into the enemy's turret, killing nineteen enemies in a row; he also led a squad to blow up seven or eight enemy planes.
In the face of the evil forces, Xiao Wanshi was never the one who would bow his head.
On the battlefield, he was on an iron horse, swallowing like a tiger.
When his teammates were helpless to kill the enemy for the first time with a machine gun, Xiao Wanshi stepped forward and grabbed the machine gun and fired a strafing at the enemy, and finally the enemy fell and left.
The most thrilling one was the Battle of Changle Village, where the Japanese army surrounded and suppressed the Eighth Route Army garrison, and only a few dozen of the original hundred-strong troops finally broke out, and Xiao Wanshi was also seriously injured in this battle. Shot in the left chest, when there is no anesthetic, people can only grit their teeth and endure the pain of tearing their hearts and lungs.
The doctor tied Xiao Wanshi's hands to the pillar and used a thin wire of metal to pass through the wound to pick out the fluff on his clothes.
But in the end, there were still two pieces of shrapnel left in the body, which accompanied Xiao Wanshi for the rest of his life.
The heart of the naked child is true
Such a heroic and good man who is invincible on the battlefield and "not afraid of death" has always been pure and good in his heart.
In the face of the enemy, he is by no means soft, but in front of his compatriots, even if the other party makes a mistake, if there is a reason, he will still choose to forgive, even if the consequences have to be borne by him alone, he has no complaints.
When Yunnan Zhaotong qing collected opium, many elderly people became emaciated because they smoked opium for a long time, and we all know that opium is such a thing, only once and countless times, once contaminated, it is difficult to quit, unless sent to a special drug rehabilitation center. But at that time, the poor people had this condition, and the old people begged bitterly to stay a little, facing a loud cry,
Xiao Wanshi really couldn't make up his mind, so he left some for them
Later, he was also punished for this matter.
When Xiao Wanshi was the director of the grain station in the county and urban areas, he also encountered workers who stole grain because there was no food at home, and he was determined to release people with a good heart.
Xiao Wanshi was not bound by these punishments, on the contrary, it was these punishments that let us see how kind and responsible he was!
Compassion does not mean indecision, and Xiao Wanshi, who has a true disposition and dares to be bold, is naturally not such a person
。 When he was a platoon leader, his superiors removed him from his position as platoon leader because his men stabbed a disobedient prisoner to death. That night, Xiao Wanshi entered the enemy's base point and captured more than a dozen guns without spending a single shot, in order to make up for it.
Xiao Wanshi, like his name, is tolerable in all the worlds, and has the great ambition and mind of the sea.
Even if it was punished again and again by mistake, Xiao Wanshi still did not have a single complaint of dissatisfaction.
The second half of his life is indifferent to fame and fortune
After the war, the banner of victory was raised high in New China
。 Many comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side did not have the opportunity to witness this great scene, and whenever Xiao Wanshi talked about his comrades-in-arms, he would burst into tears and deeply miss his comrades who died in the war.
For the glorious glory he had achieved in the past, Xiao Wanshi never made a fuss about it.
He worked in anonymity as a grain bureau worker in a small county town in Daliangshan, Sichuan
, having children and living a dull little life. Even in front of his family, Xiao Wanshi rarely mentioned his past.
The sons said that the matter of the father's war was only learned bits and pieces from his father's old comrades-in-arms afterwards.
The mother collected the medals her father had received in a sack, fifty or sixty in all, and the children waited until their father died to retrieve them from the house.
"Old Xiao this person is very simple, never consider personal fame and fortune"
Zhong Chengzhang, former director of the Liangshan Prefecture Bureau of Letters and Visits, once said that when talking about this former colleague, Zhong Chengzhang always couldn't help but leave tears of miss. After retiring from the deputy chief of the Grain Bureau, Xiao Wanshi,
When asked if he needed to adjust his work, he had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, but he only refused the good intentions of the organization.
After retirement, Xiao Wanshi will always be eager to help the neighbors without asking for anything in return, and there is no one around who does not like to disrespect the old man.
However, since 1998, Xiao Wanshi has been hospitalized for various physical diseases.
That's eleven years
Eleven years of hospital life, replaced by others, I am afraid it is difficult to persevere. But the optimistic and indifferent Xiao Wanshi,
During these long years, I would talk to other patients every day, never with any negative emotions, but also never mentioned my past glory.
Even before dying, he repeatedly instructed the people who came to visit
Don't tell your comrades-in-arms, don't hold memorial services, and don't bother the country
。 This old man, from beginning to end, cared about the country and did not seek fame and glory.
The hospital was the last place he stayed,
On April 2, 2009, the 104-year-old Xiao Wanshi bid farewell to the human world forever, and his story has been known by more people since then
。 When they saw their father's relics, the children shed tears of pain but pride, for so many years, their father never boasted to them about the glory of his past, nor did he tell his story, it turned out that his father was a great hero who had made great achievements in battle, and had made such a great contribution to the motherland!
Throwing his head and spilling blood and killing countless heroes and good men, Xiao Wanshi, his life has truly lived out the meaning.
Even though he is far away from us now, his name and deeds will forever remain in the annals of history and will be remembered and remembered by the world.
