By making history our own, we move from history to eternity.
China has a war of resistance film, which can be described as a clear stream in various anti-Japanese dramas, and it is no exaggeration to say that so far the most praised and best-received by the Chinese masses is this drama - LiangJian. The play portrays Li Yunlong, an eighth route army officer who does not play cards according to routines, has flesh and blood, has an attitude and a temper.
The prototype of Li Yunlong is Lieutenant General Wang Jinshan, who is also known as "Wang Crazy", which is not a derogatory term, but says that General Wang fights in a very different style, such as madness. However, the person xiaobian said today is not Wang Jinshan, but he and Wang Jinshan are exactly the same.
In addition to Wang Jinshan, two other people also won this glorious title, one is Xu Shiyou, who is well known to everyone, and the other is the anti-Japanese hero Chu Daming that we want to talk about today. Only because Chu Daming sacrificed early, otherwise, he would definitely be as famous as Xu Shiyou and Wang Jinshan after liberation, and make more contributions to new China.
At that time, Chu Daming followed General Chen Geng and was Chen Geng's right-hand man, who could be called a tiger general. If you see a commander on the battlefield with a bandage on his head, or gauze hanging from his hand, or a limp on crutches, then yes, this person must be Chu Daming. Why are people called crazy? Just because of the war, don't die. Chu Daming was often injured and could not get out of the line of fire, with a sick scene command, and the scars on his body were counted to more than 30. Chen Geng was distressed by his subordinates and advised him to pay attention to his body, so he used a sentence that often hung on Chu Daming's mouth to prevaricate: Fighting is the best treatment.
In August 1946, in the Battle of Tongpu, Chu Daming led an army to attack Zhao Cheng, the enemy shell suddenly fell, the chief of the operations section Fu Yanying died for the country on the spot, Chu Daming was also wounded by shrapnel, and a large opening was cut in the abdomen, and part of the intestines were exposed. After some rescue by the battlefield doctors, Chu Daming, who had been unconscious for a long time, woke up and turned around. When Chen Geng learned that Chu Daming was seriously injured, he immediately instructed Zhou Xihan to pull Chu Daming back to the rear hospital to recuperate from his injuries. But Chu Daming did not cling, covering his stomach and saying that he would not let the nurse move his stretcher, he had to stay on the front line, Zhao Cheng did not attack for a day, and Chu Daming did not withdraw for a day.
Zhou Xihan, who was entrusted by Chen Geng and of course did not agree to the unreasonable demands of this "Chu madman", and after some good talk, he said that he had moved Chu Daming and promised to go to the rear to recuperate.
Chu Daming later participated in the Battle of Fenxiao, which was the last battle in which Chu Daming participated. By the end of the Battle of Fenxiao in January 1947, our army had killed or wounded more than 20,000 Kuomintang troops, and the greatest achievement of this campaign was to suppress the Kuomintang troops occupying Shanxi to the Hezhong Basin and along the Tongpu Railway, thus creating a very good situation and conditions for our army to launch a strategic counteroffensive in the future Jinnan region.
Chu Daming was killed in the Battle of Zhongjie Village in this battle, when Chu Daming was a pioneer and led his brothers to charge, but he did not expect the enemy's bullets to be fired intensively, Chu Daming was shot in many places in the chest, and finally died for the country because of his wounds that were too serious to be healed.
As a commander, Chen Geng learned the news of his love general's sacrifice on the phone. At that time, before hanging up the phone, Chen Geng could not hide his grief, the telephone handpiece fell from his hand and fell to the ground, the boy had tears that did not flick, but did not reach the sad place, at this time Chen Geng, tears can no longer hold back.
Chu Daming's body was transported back to the Taiyue base area for burial, and during the three-hundred-mile journey back, those officers and soldiers who lived with Chu Daming day and night and called him "Chu Crazy Man" behind his back all wanted to stay with this iron-blooded man who had feelings and righteousness, feared and respected, and admired and loved him even more for a while.
On February 14, 1947, the entire brigade headquarters was in a state of darkness, and the heavens and earth were also discolored, and the clouds were full, and the venue was even more solemn. The ranks of the Twenty-ninth Regiment, both cadres and soldiers, used the most traditional Chinese way of offering sacrifices, draped in linen and filial piety, to send Chu Daming this last journey. On July 7, 1948, in the Yangcheng Lieri Cemetery in Shanxi Province, a memorial meeting was held here to commemorate chu Daming and other heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the revolution, and with the most sincere feelings, to commemorate their lofty merits established for the cause of liberation, more than 6,000 representatives from all walks of life in Taiyue District attended the memorial ceremony.
