One day in 2011, in an ordinary rural home in DaoXian County, Hunan Province, a 108-year-old man and a family were ready to go to cool off after eating, and as soon as they walked outside, the old man felt a dizziness and fell to the ground. The children heard the movement, rushed out, saw the old man lying on the ground and hurriedly dialed 120.
Because the old man's body is usually very tough, and there is no history of disease, the doctor gave the old man a detailed physical examination. During the physical examination, he found that the old man's body was covered with scars, which were unusual knife scars based on his years of experience.
Doctors can't help but wonder if the family is abusing the elderly. He continued to examine the old man, and to his shock, he examined five strange sarcomas from the old man.
This is not a foreign body that grows out of a normal person, it should be a foreign body that enters the body from the outside. After the examination, the doctor took the report and said solemnly to the old man's children: "This old man has many scars on his body, and there are five sarcoma-like things in his body. The old man's children hurried to explain: "No, these scars are from my father a long time ago." ”
After listening to the explanations of the elderly children, the doctor still chose to call the police. When the police came, the old man had woken up, and the police took the initiative to ask the old man about the scars on his whole body and what was the sarcoma in his body. After the old man listened, he said in a flat tone: "That is not a sarcoma, it is the five bullets that were left in the body and were not taken out when the war was fought." ”
For a time, everyone was shocked by the old man's words, and this incident alarmed the central government, and everyone was very curious about the old man's past. Who is this old man? Why did he have five undrew bullets in his body, and what did he go through? When the old man recovered, he slowly talked about his own events. It was only at this time that the secret that the old man had hidden for 77 years was finally known to everyone.
The old man's name was Yang Fengqian, and he was born in 1910 in Dao County, Hunan Province, to a poor peasant family. His parents were farmers, and the family often couldn't open the pot, and after Yang Fengqian understood things, he often worked in the fields with his father. When he grew up, due to his poor family, he did not marry and have children early like others.
It wasn't until he was 27 that he met a girl who was willing to marry him. The two got married, and although they did not hold a decent wedding, they were very sweet in their hearts. They feel that the days ahead will get better and better.
But no one expected that the day after the new marriage, the Kuomintang arrested Zhuangding Yang Fengqian, who was out to work, and Yang Fengqian was forcibly taken to the army, and the incident occurred suddenly, and he had no time to say goodbye to his newlywed wife. After coming to the unit, he began recruit training, and was later organized into the 190th Division of the 10th Army of the Nationalist Army, following the troops to the south and the north.
Before joining the army, he only heard that the Japanese Kou burned and plundered, and did no evil, and here he really saw the atrocities of the Japanese Kou. He looked at the devastated land and at the war-torn people, and his patriotic feelings were stimulated, and he thought: Although it is very uncomfortable to be forced to recruit soldiers, he is still willing to continue to be a soldier if he can go into battle to kill the enemy and defend his family and country.
In 1937, the Japanese attacked Shanghai from three sides, land, sea and air, and because of Shanghai's geographical location, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with the fact that the equipment and number of our army were very different from those of the enemy army, the war entered a white-hot situation. Yang Fengqian's Nationalist 10th Division was ordered to rush to Shanghai day and night and fought fiercely with the Japanese army. This battle was the Battle of Songhu.
In this battle, the Chinese and Japanese armies have invested a large number of troops in the battlefield, adding up to 1 million. The battle was very fierce, the entire battlefield was shrouded in artillery fire, and Yang Fengqian's troops also suffered heavy casualties, losing more than 800 soldiers in total. This battle made Yang Fengqian feel the cruelty of war for the first time.
Not long after, Yang Fengqian's unit and the Japanese Kou clashed again, and the Japanese Kou at that time continued to rush up from the bottom of the mountain, and Yang Fengqian led his soldiers to continuously throw grenades from the top of the mountain to stop the enemy's attack. They repelled countless enemy charges and finally managed to hold their positions. After the war, due to Yang Fengqian's bravery and outstanding performance in this battle, he was promoted to squad leader.
In 1939, the Hundred Divisions War broke out, and Yang Fengqian's unit, together with other units, formed the Tenth Army to support the front line. The great battle was fought very fiercely, and the fierce firepower pulled on the Japanese army, causing heavy losses to the Japanese army, and it was no longer possible to organize an attack of such a large scale, which provided favorable conditions for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the Battle of the Hundred Divisions, Yang Fengqian followed the troops to Changsha to defend Changsha. Soon after arriving, the Japanese army mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to attack Changsha. Japanese tanks and artillery continued to attack Changsha, and the artillery was full of fire, and Yang Fengqian had already been promoted to the company commander of the special agent company.
The tasks of the special service company are very extensive, ranging from front-line operations to dealing with violations of law and discipline in the troops, as well as protecting the chief, and even being arranged to rob the enemy of food, grass and weapons. Those who can enter the secret service company are very good people with super high combat ability. Yang Fengqian is the company commander of the special agent company, and his ability can be described as very outstanding.
At that time, on the battlefield, gun smoke was everywhere, artillery fire was everywhere, mud was splashed, and the soldiers and the Japanese army fought fiercely. Yang Fengqian's secret service company was ordered to rush to the forefront to attract enemy fire and create favorable conditions for the attack of large troops. Yang Fengqian shouted and led the soldiers in the company to rush towards the enemy. The sound of killing echoed in everyone's ears, and the warriors rushed towards the enemy.
At that time, the Japanese army saw this situation and sent bombers to the position, bombarded the position, and countless shells fell. Yang Fengqian and others were not afraid in the face of enemy artillery bombardment and intensive bullet shooting, and they rushed forward to fight a bloody road for the troops. But they did not expect that this was actually a conspiracy of the enemy.
After Yang Fengqian and they rushed into the position, the Japanese officers led the Japanese army to surround Yang Fengqian's company from behind. At this time, Yang Fengqian just rushed forward, not noticing that the enemy had quietly surrounded them. Since the ammunition had been almost exhausted during the charge, the soldiers knew very well that this time it was time to fight the Japanese to the death. They continued to engage in fierce fighting against the Japanese.
After the ammunition ran out, Yang Fengqian shouted: "All bayonets!" Let's fight! With that, he took up his bayonet and fought with the enemy, and he killed several enemies in a row, and the Japanese army noticed him, and he became the target of attack.
Yang Fengqian hit his calf with a bullet when fighting the enemy, under severe pain, he fell to his knees, and then countless bullets also shot at Yang Fengqian, severe pain swept through his senses, he fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
In this battle, the special agent company except Yang Fengqian, all sacrificed, Yang Fengqian was also seriously injured and dying, after the doctor's full rescue, he saved his life, when he woke up, the doctor told him that they took out three bullets from Yang Fengqian's body, but looking at the wounds on his body, there should still be bullets in his body, but at the current medical level, they could not take them out.
In this way, these bullets have been left in Yang Fengqian's body, and later, with the passage of time, the body tissue has continuously wrapped five bullets, which has become a sarcoma detected by the old man when he sees a doctor, which is the scene at the beginning.
After recovering from his injuries, Yang Fengqian's body could no longer continue to fight, so he offered to return to his hometown for demobilization and returned to his hometown after a long absence. After returning to his hometown, he never told anyone about the medals he had won on the battlefield, nor did he talk about his combat experience.
Once, when his children were renovating the house, they found the old man's documents, and when they gave them to the old man, the old man only said lightly: "This is what I left when I was fighting the war, there is no point, don't inquire, and don't cause trouble to the country." When the children heard this, they understood their father's meaning and stopped asking.
It wasn't until the old man fainted this time that he found the bullet in his body and told the story that he had hidden for 77 years in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. After listening to the old man's story, everyone was shocked, and the old man's children were even more distressed and wept. Due to the old age of the elderly, coupled with the position of the bullet in the body of the elderly, it is very dangerous, and finally the elderly chose conservative treatment.
The deeds of the elderly have spread throughout the villages in their hometowns, and after the local government learned about it, it was reported to the central government, and often came to visit, bring some supplements to the elderly, and also applied for subsidies for the elderly.
On October 29, 2018, Yang Fengqian completed his thrilling life at the age of 108. In the era of war, there are countless heroes like Yang Fengqian who have stepped forward to defend the country and defend every inch of land under their feet with their own lives. After the war, they hid their exploits, hid their names, and became a farmer in a mountain village, which was very admirable. Hats off to these veterans!
