In August 1948, Hu Zongnan's general Zhong Song ordered his 28th Brigade to build key fortifications at Huti Mountain, and the division headquarters, the 123rd Brigade and the 165th Brigade gathered in the southeast of Fengyuan Town, in order to take advantage of the danger of Huti Mountain to prevent the Northwest Field Army from moving south.
On August 8, the Northwest Field Army attacked the core position of Huti Mountain with superior strength, and the troops bravely attacked and broke through the enemy position, and the enemy 28th Brigade abandoned its position and fled.
In the fierce battle, a soldier of the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Column of the Northwest Field Army was injured in the thigh by enemy shells, bleeding excessively, and was killed while carrying down the position.
Dun Xingyun, a famous general of the Northwest Field Army and commander of the 4th Independent Brigade, just arrived there, and overheard the doctor sighing: Because he had no experience in self-help, it was a pity that this soldier did not tighten the root of his thigh in time to stop the bleeding at the beginning of his injury.
Don Nebula did not expect that the words he had overheard from the doctor would save his life the next day.
He took to heart the doctor's admonition to stop the bleeding in time after being injured, and asked all units to pay attention to learning common sense of self-help overnight and avoid unnecessary sacrifices.
After capturing Huti Mountain, our army took advantage of the victory to pursue, Zhong Song withdrew the 36th Division headquarters and two brigades to Wangcun Town, and Pei Changhui, commander of the enemy's 5th Corps, urgently ordered the 90th Division and the 38th Division to return to the 36th Division from Hancheng and Heyang Xingye.
In order to eliminate Zhong Song, our army joined forces to attack the town of Wangcun, and the battle was very fierce.
Dun Xingyun has always had a habit of commanding from the front, and this time he came to the front of the troops in order to grasp the situation in time and organize the attack.
At that time, the enemy was engaged in a frenzied counterattack, and if the front of the 4th Brigade was breached, most of the enemy troops could escape.
Dun Nebula insisted on commanding near the front, and the enemy repeatedly attacked desperately, and the situation was very critical.
Ma Sen, chief of staff of the brigade, and Zhang Xiankui, commander of the regiment, shouted: "Brigade commander, you retreat!" ”
Dun Xingyun ignored it, and Zhang Xiankui said, "Don't you still trust us?" ”
Dun Nebula replied loudly, "You hit you, leave me alone." ”
Zhang Xiankui said angrily: "You are here, how do we command?" How do we fight?! ”
Dun Nebula touched his head, giggled apologetically, and said in a loud voice, "Okay, I'll go!" ”
Unexpectedly, Dun Nebula's voice did not fall, and a bullet from the enemy flew in, knocking him to the ground.
Dun Xingyun could feel that his right thigh was broken, and the blood was flowing like a note, and he remembered the lesson of the soldier's sacrifice yesterday, and he used his hand to strangle the root of his thigh to stop the bleeding.
As soon as Mason saw that Don Nebula was injured, he immediately picked him up and retreated, while shouting for hygienists and military doctors.
Dun Nebula shouted anxiously on his back, "Leave me alone, you take good care of the troops!" ”
Where Mason listened to him, he ran on his back, just wanting to step into safety.
Masson trotted all the way, and Don Nebula felt a jolt and galloping, and his legs were bleeding heavily, and he said to Masson, "You put me down!" ”
Mason said, "Brigadier, I must save you!" "He said he was running faster.
Dun Nebula said anxiously, "If you want to save me, put me down immediately!" ”
Ma Sen still did not understand the meaning of Dun Nebula, ran faster, Dun Nebula was too anxious to do so, opened his mouth and bit on Ma Sen's shoulder, and shouted: "Put me down, put me flat!" "After saying that, I passed out unconscious."
By this time, Masson had carried him under a ridge to avoid enemy fire, and the medic had arrived.
Only to see that Dun Nebula's hip was half blown away, his thigh was seriously injured, his flesh and blood were blurred, several blood vessels were broken, and blood flowed. Fortunately, although Dun Nebula was in a coma, he still held his thigh with his hand and did not lose too much blood.
The military doctor urgently bandaged to stop the bleeding, and forcefully broke the hand of the seriously injured man who was holding his thigh, but he could not open it.
The military doctor exclaimed, "Fortunately, the brigade commander himself pinched his thigh and stopped the bleeding, or it would have been over earlier!" He saved his own life! ”
However, the situation at this time is still not optimistic, because Dun Nebula is still dying, and his leg is so badly injured, it is likely that he will not be able to save it.
Thankfully, after the doctors' full rescue and the tenacious vitality of Dun Nebula, he was finally freed from the danger of life. After many surgeries, he finally saved the injured leg, which was considered by doctors to have created two miracles (it is difficult not to die after serious injury, and it is still possible to save the leg without amputation).
Dun Xingyun said: If it were not for the words from the doctor who knew how to save themselves in time after being injured, he might have gone to see the old horse (Kesi) a long time ago.
When he was discharged from the hospital, the doctor repeatedly told him to rest for at least two to three years, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In February 1949, the Northwest Field Army was renamed the First Field Army, and the battle to liberate the entire Great Northwest became bigger and bigger.
The second column of Dun Xingyun was reorganized into the Second Army, and the commander Wang Zhen and others hoped that Dun Xingyun would become the deputy commander, but they were afraid that his body would not be able to eat, so they personally ran to seek his opinion.
Dun Nebula immediately said: "My injury is basically healed, there is no problem." Whatever the leader wants me to do, I will obey. After fighting for decades, don't you just look forward to the liberation of the whole country? Even if you give up this leg in exchange for the liberation of the whole country, in exchange for the liberation of the people of the whole country, it is worth it! Besides, if you don't take advantage of the fact that you have to fight a few more battles now, you just want to fight in the future, and I'm afraid I won't have a chance! ”
That is to say, he was wounded from August 1948 to February 1949 when he returned to the army, and only recovered from his wounds for half a year.
For the sake of the needs of the revolution, how many people like Dun Nebula were at a critical juncture, bravely moving forward!
After that, Dun Xingyun continued to lead the army to fight with his wounds that were not fully healed, and he made many achievements in the Liberation War, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955.
