The happiness and peace of New China today are the result of countless revolutionary martyrs who fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they left their hometown regardless of the safety of their lives. Dedicated themselves to the revolution of new China, there are many people who have not returned to their hometown for several years, more than ten years or even twenty years, and their homes may have long been wrong.
For the sake of the Chinese revolution, everyone's energy was concentrated on the revolutionary cause, and it was inevitable that they would not have time to take care of their families and families; leaders such as Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai had not returned to their hometowns to visit their parents for several years.
Chen Xilian, the founding general of the People's Republic of China, did not return to his hometown for 20 years during the revolution, and when he returned, the old mother could not see that the general in front of him was actually his son, which was also a common pain in the hearts of many people.
Social unrest, many people want to use revolutionary ways to save China, Chen Xilian was born in that era, he planted a small seed in his heart. The opportunity of the revolution also quietly came to Chen Xilian's side, in order to expand the number of troops and increase the chances of winning the battle against the enemy, the guerrillas wanted to expand the ranks and encourage everyone to join the army.
Chen Xilian, who was very young, hated the social environment at that time very much, and his heart was also very hot, so he joined the guerrillas. But when he joined the revolution, he did not tell his mother that at a young age, Chen Xilian did not think thoroughly, he did not think that the last parting with his mother, seeing each other again, would be twenty years later.
Chen Xilian performed very well in the army, and at a young age, he relied on his affinity and strong learning ability, and after joining the Communist Party, he also held the post of political commissar, and many people were very satisfied with Chen Xilian and spoke highly of him.
What made Chen Xilian famous in the army was the Battle of Xinkou, which was a very important barrier in Taiyuan, Shanxi, when the Japanese army's plan was to break through all the obstacles in front of the Shanxi provincial capital one by one, and finally capture Shanxi, and Taiyuan was facing the risk of falling.
Receiving the order from his superiors, Chen Xilian immediately went to Xinkou in an entire team, and he also understood the importance of this task. Chen Xilian studied the battle plan overnight, he depicted it many times on the map, and finally came up with a beautiful method: blow up the Japanese army's Yangmingbao airfield, and Chen Xilian personally led the troops to the operation.
Chen Xilian did not point out this plan, he arranged a part of the troops to carry out a surprise attack on Yangmingbao to divert their attention, and then at night, Chen Xilian led his brothers to sneak attack the mingdebao airfield, blowing up the Japanese aircraft one by one.
He not only caused great damage to the Japanese troops stationed at Yangmingbao, but also blew up all 24 Japanese planes parked at Yangmingbao airfield.
The Battle of Yangmingbao also greatly improved the self-confidence of our army, and the Japanese were no longer the myth of invincibility, and they were also caught off guard by our army. Chen Xilian was promoted to commander for many military merits, and at this time, he had been away from his hometown for nearly nine years.
The precipitation of time has made Chen Xilian more mature, and in terms of combat methods, his combat methods and tactical skills have become more skilled, coupled with Chen Xilian's innate keen sense of military smell, he has won many victories in the war.
In the First Battle of Suxian County, Chen Xilian used the strategy of attacking the west from the east to confuse the Kuomintang and make them confused the direction of our army's attack, thus winning the victory in this war. Chen Xilian's heroic command, coupled with the brave response of the soldiers to the enemy, only three days later, Suxian was captured.
After the founding of New China, Chen Xilian was awarded the rank of founding general, all of which he had heroically commanded and bravely killed the enemy over the years. After the war, everything is in ruins, whether it is a general or a soldier who needs to rest, Chen Xilian also wants to go home to see his mother, who has not been seen for more than twenty years.
Chen Xilian returned to his hometown, he was only fourteen years old when he left, more than twenty years have passed, and everything has long been wrong. Chen Xilian, who had not entered the house, was very worried, he gently slammed the door, and it was his mother who opened the door, but it seemed that he had long since recognized him.
Twenty years is enough to change the appearance of people, Chen Xilian is very excited to see his elderly mother. In fact, there are many people who have the same experience as Chen Xilian, who also fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and have not returned to their hometown for many years to see their parents and relatives.
For the reunification and peace of the motherland, these heroes left their hometowns and went to the battlefield, they made indelible contributions to the founding of new China, and even paid for their lives, which we should remember for a lifetime.
