Wang Changling, a famous patriotic poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "But let the dragon city fly in the future, do not teach Humadu Yin Mountain." It is used to celebrate the heroic soldiers who defend the country.
There are countless heroes in the history of the mainland, for the safety of the country and the happiness of the people, the former servants have fought bravely and dedicated their youth, blood, and even lives to defend the country. These people are well-deserved heroes who will forever be engraved in the heroic history of the Chinese nation.
Enlisted in the army
The unsung hero, jiang cheng, was born in 1928 and came from a small mountain village in Hechuan District, Chongqing. Jiang Cheng's father and mother are local honest farmers, Jiang Cheng was born a few years later, his parents have passed away, the burden of the family directly fell on Jiang Cheng's shoulders, although At this time Jiang Cheng's age is not old, but he works in the field during the day, taking care of the lives of his younger brothers and sisters at night, and the long-term and difficult environment has also tempered Jiang Cheng's spirit of being able to bear hardships and not be afraid of death.
In 1949, with the rumbling of the People's Liberation Army, the mountain city of Chongqing was reborn, and after some reform, Jiang Cheng was also given his own land, and when he got his own land certificate from the government, Jiang Cheng burst into tears with excitement, and he truly felt the difference between the new government and the Kuomintang government.
In December of the same year, the People's Liberation Army Military Commission happened to set up a point in Jiang Cheng's hometown to recruit troops, and after learning of this news, Jiang Cheng, after consulting with several fellow villagers, decided to join the army together to liberate more poor people.
After enlisting in the army, Jiang Cheng was assigned to a soldier of the 2nd Company of the 92nd Regiment of the 11th Army of the People's Liberation Army, which belonged to the machine gun company and was equipped with many artillery and machine guns captured from the Kuomintang, so it was an important combat force in the regiment. In addition to daily training, the instructors in the company also paid special attention to the ideological work of the soldiers, often propagating the party's ideology and line in the company, where Jiang Cheng's thinking was once again improved, and Jiang Cheng gradually established his lifelong ideal of defending the family and defending the country.
Korean
"Majestic and exuberant, crossing the Yalu River, safeguarding peace, defending the motherland, that is, protecting the homeland", in 1951, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, and in April of the same year, Jiang Cheng's unit took the lead in throwing itself into the war. During the second offensive launched by the volunteer army, Jiang Cheng was resourceful and brave, fought bravely, and fought bravely, relying on favorable terrain and comrades-in-arms to repel five enemy attacks.
After the end of the campaign, Jiang Cheng was also promoted to deputy squad leader for military merit, but a higher position also meant greater responsibility, and soon a severe test appeared in front of Jiang Cheng and his comrades-in-arms.
In October 1952, the US Empire was insinceless in the armistice negotiations, and the US negotiators even shouted at the negotiating table, "Since both sides have nothing to say, let the machine guns and cannons speak"! Such an arrogant and rude attitude directly led to the collapse of the negotiations. Our army has also decided to launch another offensive to completely destroy the illusions of US imperialism. The most arduous battle of Shangganling in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was immediately launched.
On November 1, Jiang Cheng's unit joined the Battle of Shangganling, which was the most difficult period of the whole battle, and the US army fully realized the tenacious will of our army, and transferred a large number of aircraft and artillery from the rear, and the 45th Division of the 15th Army, which was previously stationed on the position, fought for more than ten days and sacrificed nearly 6,000 people. This is enough to prove the intensity of the Battle of Shangganling.
Jiang Cheng was stationed on the 537.7 heights, which was the focus of the enemy's attack, and the battle situation at that time was quite bad, but this did not deter Jiang Cheng, relying on the tunnel Jiang Cheng commanded the fighters, flexibly maneuvered with the enemy, and repelled the enemy's attack many times in a row, and later the war entered a white-hot stage, and Jiang Cheng took the lead, rushing into the enemy position and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. At that time, the enemy knew that our army did not have anti-aircraft guns, their pilots often fired ultra-low altitude ambush bombing, many of Jiang Cheng's comrades-in-arms were killed by US aircraft, after a battle, the US planes came to bomb again, Jiang Cheng, in a fit of anger, picked up the machine gun, opened fire on the US plane, accidentally hit and hit it by mistake, and actually shot down a US plane, which greatly boosted morale.
Incognito
After the Battle of Shangganling, Jiang Cheng and his comrades killed and wounded more than 400 enemy troops, and Jiang Cheng also shot down an American bomber.
In 1954, Jiang Cheng returned to China with the troops, seeing that the war inside and outside the country had ended, his original ideals had been fulfilled, and it was time to fulfill his original promise, on February 10, 1955, Jiang Cheng officially submitted an application for retirement to the organization. Although the leaders repeatedly retained them, Jiang Cheng's determination was already determined, and the leaders of the troops finally signed the application.
As a combat hero, Jiang Cheng should have received good preferential treatment from the local government even if he returned to his hometown, but Jiang Cheng did not feel that he was a hero at all, and he never thought of his relatives and friends mentioning the merits he had established on the battlefield. Until Jiang Cheng's later years, Jiang Cheng's wife and children only knew that he had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and nothing else was known.
It was not until 1988, when a staff member of the Chongqing Archives sorted out the files of veterans, accidentally discovered Jiang Cheng's files, and also found a letter in the archives entitled "Good News of Revolutionary Soldiers' Meritorious Service", and after handing it over to the leadership, the local relevant departments finally found Jiang Cheng with great effort, which made a former combat hero re-exposed to the public.
epilogue
Later, people learned that the original home address written by Jiang Cheng at that time was in Xinglong Township, but in fact, Jiang Cheng's home was in Longxing Township, and the good news of meritorious service arrived, and the relevant personnel found that there was no xinglong township at all, so they temporarily put it down. No one expected to wait 36 years to find the owner of the good news. However, this is nothing for Jiang Cheng, all he cares about is Guotai Min'an.
