In 2010, an old man was hospitalized for advanced lung cancer, in the face of his own time, he told his son that he had buried his wish in his heart for many years, in order to realize the last wish of the old man, the old man's son began to post on the Internet for help, and the deeds of the old man quickly received attention from all walks of life.
One day in September, it was pouring rain in Wanzhou, Chongqing, and soybean-like raindrops fell to the ground as if they were heartbreaking. At the entrance of the Three Gorges Central Hospital came a military jeep, which stopped steadily under the emergency brakes and hurried down a man in military uniform.
He is
Deputy Commander of the 113rd Division of the 38th Army Group Army of the People's Liberation Army
Only to see him frown, speed up his pace towards the hospital, just walked to the corridor when he heard the ward made a whimpering cry, he felt that the situation was not good, he saw the old man lying in the ward with his eyes closed, had left peacefully, he said with great sorrow:
"Old comrade, I'm late!"
It turned out that the old man's name was
Ping Taixin
Born in 1920 in Ju'an Village, Xiongjia Town, Sichuan Province, an ordinary family, he has been farming for generations, because the family is not rich, and there is no extra money to support Ping Taixin to read and read, and he began to help his parents do some work in the field early.
He has always hoped that one day he will save enough money to buy a field of his own and no longer suffer from exploitation and oppression. However, when his family's situation was getting better, an accident occurred.
Just in time for the New Year, I was anxious to take a load of rice from my own tun to the city to sell it for money to keep for the New Year, and I didn't want to meet Zheng
The Kuomintang army that captured Zhuang Ding
Several soldiers in Nationalist uniforms jumped out of the big truck and tied him to the car before Hirai Taishin could react.
After inquiring, Ping Taixin, who was confused, learned that the original Pacific War had broken out, which had endangered China's borders and had a major impact on our country, but because of the lack of troops, he had seized the number of strong people.
On the battlefield of Burma, he saw the cruelty of war, the soldiers fought with the Japanese army to the death, even in the case of ammunition shortage, they never gave up, chose to use bayonets to fight with the enemy, but the knife and gun had no eyes, in a battle with the enemy, Ping Taixin's thigh was stabbed by the enemy, even so he still insisted on fighting,
Never back down until the task is successfully completed
。
On the battlefields of Burma, Ping Taixin trained himself as an excellent warrior. His heart was full of hatred for the Japanese, if it were not for the ruthless invaders, how could it cause the people to be displaced and unable to live in peace, how many families had lost their loved ones because of the war, and he transformed the hatred in his heart into a driving force for the war.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ping Taixin, who returned to China, applied for demobilization thinking that he could finally return to his hometown to run a field, but his demobilization application was not approved.
He was forcibly taken to the northeast to participate in a civil war with the Communists.
During this time in the Kuomintang army, he had deeply felt the management system and rightness of the Kuomintang
Exploitation and oppression of the people
，
There is no democracy or freedom at all
。 But the Communist Party is different, they never oppress the people, they are the main people.
So at the time of a battle with the communist army,
He led the entire class of 8 soldiers to surrender their guns voluntarily
He chose to join the Communist Party of China
。 After adaptation, Hei Tai Shin was
A soldier of the 8th Company of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army
This unit is an excellent team brought out by Peng Dehuai, which is known
"Eight companies of steel
" title.
Ping Taixin followed the troops everywhere and made a lot of merit. One of the most noteworthy is,
"A soak of urine wiped out a battalion"
The legend of the story.
After the Liaoshen Campaign, Ping Taixin entered the customs with the army, and on the way to the march one night, he suddenly felt that he wanted to go to the toilet, so he ran into a thick sorghum field, and as soon as he unbuckled his belt, he found a smoking man crouched not far away, he immediately put on his pants, walked over to the man and patted him
"Brother, trouble borrow a fire."
The man ignored him but handed him a box of matches.
At the moment when the match was lit, he saw a bright and dangling Nationalist helmet through the faint light, and then looked down, and there was a ditch next to it full of Kuomintang soldiers.
He hurriedly reported what he had found to the platoon commander, who immediately organized the army to encircle and besiege the Nationalists, this time with the defenseless preparations of the Nationalists.
Our army successfully captured more than three hundred nationalist soldiers
Ping Taixin also won the commendation and affirmation of the army.
In 1950, the outbreak of the Korean War, the invasion of the United Nations led by the United States made The DPRK appear weak in combat strength, the DPRK is close to our country, the reason for the cold lips and teeth we all understand, under the resolution of Chairman Mao and the leaders of various countries, the decision of our country to support the DPRK was made, so the soldiers of our volunteer army took it
Majestic and exuberant
Cross the Yalu River to support North Korea.
At that time, Ping Taixin was assigned to the 38th Army and served as a squad leader, which was the first to enter Korea as a vanguard team. With his previous combat experience, Ping Taixin was full of confidence in this support for the Korean war, and there was no complaint, only the determination to defend the country with one heart and one mind, and the determination not to drive the aggressors out of the 38th Line and never back down.
After the second battle of the Volunteer Army began, Peng Dehuai took command, and a part of the Volunteer Army gathered around Chosin Lake to wait for the opportunity to eliminate the American army and the South Korean army, while the 38th Army was ordered to immediately rush to Sansho-ri and occupy Sansho-ri in time to cut off the enemy's retreat.
The 38th Army, which received the order, was there
Liang Xingchu
Led by the way to catch up
More than a hundred miles,
Arriving at Sansholi, he successfully blocked the enemy army and laid the foundation for the victory of the battle.
In the face of the rampant enemy army, the warriors were not afraid and fought to the death. After the war, before it was too late to rest, he received an order from his superiors to immediately block the area around the Datong River and block it to prevent the enemy from moving south.
When they arrived at the Datong River Bridge, they found that the enemy had started the plan to cross the bridge to the south, and they were also equipped with heavy weapons, and a Tucker of the enemy troops on the other side of the bridge had stepped on the bridge deck, if not organized in time, then all the previous efforts were wasted, but there was no other way at the moment.
At the critical moment, Ping Taixin collected several grenades from his comrades and tied them with ropes, and he quietly swam under the bridge where the enemy tanks were located, he aimed in the direction of the tanks, jumped out of the water and threw them hard, only to hear a bang, and the enemy Tucker was scrapped.
At the same time, the enemy army found The Peace Letter under the bridge and shot into the water. Although the tank was scrapped, but it could not prevent the enemy from crossing the bridge, then there was only one way to blow up the bridge, Ping Tai thought silently in confidence, so he quickly swam to the bridge pier, put the grenade at the gap in the bridge pier, arranged the grenade and immediately detonated it, and in an instant the bridge deck ran, completely blocking the enemy's way south.
Then our troops took advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate this unit. Ping Taixin's outstanding performance in this battle was praised by the company leader Liang Xingchu and received
Level 2 Combat Hero
The title. Because of The great deeds made by Hei Taishin, he acted later
The heroic model returned to China to be received by Chairman Mao.
After that, Ping Taixin went back to Korea to resist the war, in the course of a battle with the enemy, because he had to buy time for the withdrawal of large troops, he was unfortunately injured by shells when he fought on the front line, and was sent to the rear hospital by his comrades-in-arms for treatment.
After recovering from treatment, Ping Taixin asked to continue to return to the front line to participate in the War of Resistance, and considering that his health had just recovered, the leaders refused his request to go to the front, but instead suggested that he stay in the rear and let him go to Tibet to serve as an instructor for the motor transport company.
However, in the process of transportation, the car in which Ping Taixin was riding unfortunately fell into a deep ditch of more than ten meters due to a roadblock, fell covered in blood, and he was sent to the hospital for rescue in a coma, but fortunately recovered a life.
Because his physical condition was not as good as before, he applied for demobilization, took off the military uniform that had accompanied him for many years, returned to his hometown, and planted more than a dozen acres of land in his hometown, starting the ordinary peasant life for the second half of his life.
After returning to his hometown, he put the more than twenty medals he had obtained in the army in a box, as if he had sealed off his time in the army, and he did not say anything about his participation in the army, even his children did not know. The people around him only knew that he had participated in the War of Resistance, but they did not know that he was an old hero with great achievements in battle.
Because he was injured in the war when he was young, and fought in a harsh environment in the ice and snow, coupled with the lack of food and warmth, his body fell a lot of old problems, as he grew older, Ping Taixin's physical condition became worse and worse, in 1980, he had always had stomach disease, his condition was not controlled, and he had to undergo gastric resection surgery.
The disease did not spare this old hero, in 2005 suddenly coughed up a large amount of blood, sent to the hospital was found to be due to cancer cells metastasized to the lungs, diagnosed as lung cancer. In 2009, the old man was hospitalized due to the deterioration of his condition, and he knew that he did not have many days, so he told his family about the long-cherished wish he had buried in his heart
"I have never seen those comrades-in-arms since I participated in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression before I was demobilized, and I just want to see them again before I die."
The old man told his son the story of the first half of his life, in order to realize his father's last wish before he died, he posted on the Internet for help, hoping that netizens would help find his father's troops and comrades-in-arms.
As soon as the post was sent, it immediately received the attention of the majority of netizens, quickly spread on the Internet, and finally after hard work, I finally saw my old comrades-in-arms who had been away for many years, but the only regret was that due to physical conditions, I could not walk and could not go to the troops to take a look.
The old hero's search for troops and comrades-in-arms was quickly taken seriously by the leaders of Wanzhou City, Chongqing, and they came to visit the old hero. On September 3, Deputy Division Commander Zhang of the 38th Army heard the news and immediately rushed to the hospital, but he did not think that he was one step late, and the old man had passed away peacefully at the age of 90.
Although the old hero has left us, he will always live in our hearts. He never flinched when the motherland needed him the most, and he did his best to defend the country and the nation. He always knows the goal in his heart, and has always firmly adhered to his lofty ideals. The stability and prosperity of the motherland today are inseparable from old heroes like Ping Taixin, whose spirit is worth learning and paying tribute to the old heroes!
