introduction
Saying goes
Heroes don't ask for provenance
When a person's contribution is large enough, his origin is less important. There may be many unknown people around us, but they have a rather extraordinary life and have made many contributions.
It's just a low-key choice.
body
Zhang Liangrong, a name we may not have heard of, but he is an out-and-out people's hero. In 1924, Zhang Liangrong was born in a poor peasant family, and there were many brothers and sisters in the family, not to mention big fish and meat, and it was difficult to even eat a full meal.
For the sake of the lives of his younger siblings, Zhang Liangrong went to work in the landlord's home at a very young age, earning a bite of food for himself, and at the same time taking a small remuneration to subsidize the family.
Zhang Liangrong, who has been oppressed by landlords since he was a child, has been working for food and clothing with patience. When he grew up, he began to try to do some small business on his own, and came to Henan to do business, but here he met the soldiers of the Nationalist army. His business was harassed by them and couldn't go on,
From that time on, he was deeply disappointed by the decay of the landlord class and the national government.
After stumbling upon our Party's ideology, he seemed to see the bright way out again. Our Party is completely on the side of the people and seeks the welfare of the masses at the bottom, which is completely different from the people he has seen before. After the call of our Party,
He resolutely joined the people's army
, became one of the revolutionary fighters.
When he joined the army, the war of liberation had already reached a critical period, and our army was developing toward a strategic counteroffensive from the stage of strategic stalemate. In September 1948, after the meeting of the Politburo of Xibai, our army planned to begin to change its operational policy and formally launch an all-out offensive on the frontal battlefield.
After the great victory in the Battle of Jinan, our army further decided to launch the Huaihai Campaign, and Zhang Liangrong happened to be among the troops participating in the battle.
At that time, Zhang Liangrong had become a squad leader in our army, subordinate to the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army led by Liu Bocheng.
His combat mission at that time was to protect the flanks of our army and lay mines to block Huang Wei's corps
。 At that time, Huang Wei's troops were well equipped and had very strong combat capabilities, which is said to be just that
There are more than 250 tanks and tanks
。 However, under such a huge disparity in equipment gap, Zhang Liangrong and his comrades-in-arms still never wanted to retreat, but relied on it
Grenades and explosive packs fought to the death with the enemy.
At that time, in order to block the enemy's attack, we had to find a way to effectively strike their tanks, but with the backward equipment of our army alone, it was undoubtedly more difficult to accomplish this task than to ascend to the sky. In order to complete the combat task in time, Zhang Liangrong led his comrades to dig pits and lay mines together, and when the enemy tanks entered, they pulled the lead. As a result, the mines planted only injured the tracks of the enemy tanks, and they immediately turned the muzzles of the guns to the fortifications of our army, and Zhang Liangrong only heard a cannon and immediately fainted.
Fortunately, Zhang Liangrong's position was still relatively strong, he was only buried by the soil and stones, and did not sacrifice. But what grieved him was that
The team of 180 people who had fought together was the only dozen who survived with him.
The failure of this combat mission did not discourage them, and the heroic sacrifice of their comrades did not deter them, and soon Zhang Liangrong returned to the ranks of the field army, summed up the combat experience from the previous lessons, and continued to carry out anti-tank missions. He led his comrades to use the fire barrier method to block the enemy's attack,
Take gasoline and burn tanks
Although this method of warfare does not greatly reduce the enemy's effective strength,
However, it created a great obstacle to the enemy's attack and successfully bought time for our army's combat plan.
In the end, with the cooperation of all aspects of our army, nearly 120,000 troops under Huang Wei's regiment were annihilated in one fell swoop, and he himself was captured by us and reduced to a prisoner of the order.
Zhang Liangrong was also awarded special merit
Later, he participated in the suppression of bandits, and his merits were also remarkable. In 1955, Zhang Liangrong was honorably discharged from the army, and he also responded to the call of the state to go to Laojun Village to work on the land allocated to him by the state.
Zhang Liangrong never showed off the merits he had made, but was at ease to be a peasant hard worker.
In 2018, the government began looking for veterans in the hope of subsidizing them. At that time, the Sichuan Provincial Veterans Affairs Bureau responded to the call of the state and sent working groups to various villages and towns to investigate the living conditions of veterans, and Laojun Village was also in the scope of their work.
The villagers were very curious when they saw the working group, on the one hand, they felt that the state attached importance to the veterans, on the other hand, they also wanted to see who defended their motherland.
When Zhang Liangrong came to the scene with the help of his daughter, everyone was a little surprised, because they did not know that there was a meritorious veteran beside them.
At that time, some people joked with Zhang Liangrong about how Mr. Zhang saw that the government had subsidies and came to join in the fun, and as a result, Zhang Liangrong smiled and took out a small wooden box and handed it to the staff very preciously. When the staff opened it in front of everyone, they only saw that there was one inside
3 Medals of Merit, 1 Medal of Merit, First Class and 7 Medals of Merit, Third Class
This is undoubtedly an honor that a warrior can only get from birth to death.
epilogue
Until this time, Zhang Liangrong's heroic deeds were known to everyone, and at this time he was already a 94-year-old man
Low-key dedication, single-minded dedication to the country
The spirit deserves our admiration. And his heroic deeds should also be remembered by us forever.
