Guns are a highly lethal weapon, in our country is prohibited private ownership of guns, once someone illegally possesses firearms, will be sentenced. But in times of war, the gun is one of the weapons that a soldier can use to survive, and it is the second life of a soldier, and a soldier legally owns a firearm.
For a veteran who experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, their feelings about guns can be said to be very complicated. Those veterans walked through the rain of bullets, a gun that was all too familiar to them, a weapon for them to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Since the law of our country prohibits guns, many people have handed over the guns they have collected for many years and become law-abiding citizens. In recent years, a 96-year-old man with a double gun caught the attention of local staff. According to the regulations, when the staff was about to confiscate the old man's double gun, he was refused by the old man.
The old man's name was Teng Xiyuan, a veteran soldier, and the reason he gave for refusing to hand over the double gun was: This gun was given to me by Su Yu. What does this old man named Teng Xiyuan have to do with the famous Su Yu? Was his double gun eventually confiscated?
Teng Xiyuan, who has made many meritorious achievements?
In 1925, Teng Xiyuan was born in Laiwu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, and lived a very bitter life as a child, often starving, his parents died in his family, and he and his two older brothers were dependent on each other in his early years. After growing up, under the influence of his two older brothers, Teng Xiyuan, who was only 13 years old, resolutely chose to join the army and became a member of the Laidong County Brigade.
At that time, when Japan invaded China, the Chinese nation was unwilling to be a slave to the country and took up arms to fight the enemy to the death. After Teng Xiyuan joined the army, the idea of "killing the enemy and defending the country" deeply influenced Teng Xiyuan; although he was young, he was not ambiguous in the face of the enemy and dared to fight and fight.
In 1940, the Japanese army came to Teng Xiyuan's hometown to sweep, where many people who joined the anti-Japanese army were captured, and Teng Xiyuan fled because he was familiar with the local terrain and was small in stature, and did not attract the attention of the Japanese army. On the way to escape, Teng Xiyuan and several companions ambushed a single Japanese soldier, killed him, and took the dagger from the Japanese army's waist.
Teng Xiyuan attached great importance to the dagger captured from the Japanese army, and to this day, he still keeps it. In the same year, the Japanese army once again frantically swept through the anti-Japanese base area in Luzhong, and Teng Xiyuan's bullets in the gun were empty in a battle, and the Japanese army rushed up and stabbed him in the arm socket.
In the face of the ferocious Japanese army, the injured Teng Xiyuan was not afraid, holding the spirit of seeing death as a homecoming, his heart was fierce, and he stabbed the Japanese army with a bayonet and killed the enemy in front of him. In that battle, Teng Xiyuan performed well and made a first-class merit, and the leaders of the troops rewarded him with a box gun.
This box gun was of great significance to Teng Xiyuan, witnessing his process of resisting Japan and killing the enemy, and to this day, Teng Xiyuan still takes it out from time to time and wipes it with a towel. Whenever Teng Xiyuan wiped his gun, he would always think of his comrades who had died on the battlefield and shed tears for them.
During the Liberation War, Teng Xiyuan was a member of the East China Field Army and served as an artillery company commander. In 1947, during a battle, Teng Xiyuan was ordered to surround and annihilate an enemy force in the Southeast Ma area of Shandong. That day, Teng Xiyuan found an enemy in the ravine, and he did not panic, but used a pistol, a rifle and three grenades to preemptively strike and hit the enemy in an ambush.
Teng Xiyuan first frightened the enemy with grenades, and then opened fire to deliver news to the troops, and after the rear troops heard the gunshots, several battalions surrounded them and eliminated the enemy who had come in. If Teng Xiyuan had not discovered this enemy force in advance, it might have caused great losses, so the troops awarded Teng Xiyuan first-class merit when holding a celebration meeting.
Su Yu sent a gun to commend Teng Xiyuan?
Teng Xiyuan made meritorious contributions many times and was not afraid of sacrifice on the battlefield, and Su Yu also participated in the celebration meeting in Huaye. Su Yu took a gun and rewarded Teng Xiyuan for his excellent performance, and personally hung the gun on him. At the conference, Su Yu highly praised Teng Xiyuan and praised him as a "lone hero".
After the victory of the War of Liberation, the Korean War broke out, and Teng Xiyuan did not choose to be comfortable, joined the volunteer army, and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In 1953, Teng Xiyuan in a battle with the Us army, the enemy tanks too many, blocking the advance of the volunteer troops, Teng Xiyuan stepped forward, picked up the explosive package, crawled forward, approached the tank, hung the explosive package on the enemy tank, and then quickly dodged, an explosion, a tank was blown up.
On the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Teng Xiyuan became a hero of explosions. After returning from North Korea, Teng Xiyuan has been working in Laiwu under the arrangement of the organization. Teng Xiyuan's forehead has the scars he left during the war, according to his own words, he was injured when the bomb exploded, and he is lucky to survive.
Teng Xiyuan had two guns, one was given to him by Su Yu, the other was rewarded by the organization for great merit, and there were many booty, and Teng Xiyuan was well preserved. Nowadays, China's law stipulates that individuals cannot possess firearms, and when the staff came to Teng Xiyuan's home, Teng Xiyuan, although he was a little reluctant, was still very cooperative and took out his own double gun.
This gun was an honor for Teng Xiyuan, he did not want to be taken away, and there was no bullet in the gun, there was no threat. After learning the source of this gun, the staff did not rush to collect Teng Xiyuan's gun, but asked their superiors to explain Teng Xiyuan's special situation.
Soon, the opinions on whether Teng Xiyuan could continue to collect his pistol came down, and the superior felt that Teng Xiyuan's situation was special, and according to the special circumstances, he was allowed to own the gun. Teng Xiyuan was a revolutionary veteran, and the guns in his collection were still given by Su Yu, which was of great significance.
After understanding the specific situation, out of respect for Teng Xiyuan's veterans, we did not act in accordance with the rules of death, but analyzed the specific situation, and did not chill the old hero.
epilogue
Without revolutionary fighters like Teng Xiyuan, there would be no good life for us today. The double gun is of great significance to Teng Xiyuan, and from the perspective of humanistic care, it really should not be confiscated.
Nowadays, most of the veterans who experienced the period of resistance against Japan, liberation, and the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea like Teng Xiyuan have passed away, and Teng Xiyuan is old, hoping that he can live a long and healthy life, look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland today, and remember the scene of the bloody struggle, and will feel proud and proud of himself.
