In 1996, the public security police in Laiwu, Shandong Province, knocked on a door that was opened by an elderly man in his seventies.
One dagger, two guns
"Old man, I heard that you have two guns at home, and now the state is cleaning up guns and ammunition, and if you have a gun in your hand, you need to hand it in."
After listening to the words of the police, the old man took out an iron box from the house, which indeed contained two pistols and a sharp dagger.
But there was also a piece of paper in the box, and when opened, was a special gun license stamped with the seal of the People's Liberation Army Unit 6202.
Teng Xiyuan's proof of gun ownership
"The state's policy must be supported, and my two guns have gone through the formalities..."
The old man, named Teng Xiyuan, slowly recalled the origin of the two guns, and all the people present were also brought back to the smoke of history.
Having made three first-class achievements in his life, what kind of heroic past does this old man who has collected two guns and a dagger have?
Teng Xiyuan
Hand blade Japanese, dagger stained with enemy blood!
In 1937, the Japanese army launched an all-out war of aggression against China, the land of China was full of life and death, thirteen-year-old Teng Xiyuan followed his two brothers, joined the Laiwu County Anti-Japanese Brigade, and began his military career.
Although he was young and small, Teng Xiyuan was very brave in battle, and the dagger he had saved all his life had also drunk the blood of Rikou.
A small soldier of the Eighth Route Army
In 1940, the Japanese army surrounded the garrison of the Laiwu County Brigade, and Teng Xiyuan and two comrades-in-arms escaped by chance, and they used their familiarity with the village to see if there was a chance to escape the enemy encirclement.
But the Japanese began to search the village, and Teng Xiyuan climbed onto the roof of a pigsty, while two other comrades hid in the firewood and grass stacks and cornfields.
The searching Japanese did not find them, and on the way out, a Japanese soldier dragged himself to the end, urinating near Tengxiyuan's hiding place.
Teng Xiyuan saw that the other Japanese troops had gone far, jumped from the top of the pigsty, threw the Japanese soldier down, and the other two comrades also rushed up, holding the hands and feet of this Japanese soldier, Teng Xiyuan took out the dagger on his body and stabbed the Japanese army to death.
In the years that followed, Teng Xiyuan treasured the dagger of this bladed Japanese soldier.
The first gun: kill 6 Japanese koos in a row, Li Qigong!
In 1940, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the Shandong base area, in an attempt to eliminate the Shandong column of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.
The Japanese army occupied the high ground around Yang Lianheng, the Eighth Route Army was suppressed in the low-lying terrain under the mountain, the Japanese army was condescending, the firepower was very fierce, and several attacks of the Eighth Route Army were blocked by the Japanese army.
Teng Xiyuan also followed the large troops to ambush at the bottom of the mountain, his eyes were very sharp, and he saw the Japanese flag bearer waving the flag in the distance.
"Kill this flag bearer first!"
Teng Xiyuan's heart moved, and after taking out his gun and aiming it, he only listened to a gunshot, and the Japanese standard-bearer fell to the ground.
The Japanese army lacked the flag command of the flag bearer, and the attack fell into chaos, and the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to counterattack and captured the Japanese position in one fell swoop.
Teng Xiyuan also began to charge, his marksmanship was very accurate, knocking down several Japanese troops in a row, and when he rushed to the Japanese position, Teng Xiyuan's gun was full of bullets.
A Japanese soldier stabbed Teng Xiyuan in the arm with one shot, and Teng Xiyuan was killing the Japanese soldier with a bayonet.
A warrior in a white-knife battle with the Japanese army
In this battle, our army won a great victory, 15-year-old Teng Xiyuan killed 6 enemies, Rong Li first class merit, liao Rongbiao, who was then the commander of the fourth detachment of the Shandong Column, personally rewarded Teng Xiyuan with a Mauser pistol.
This gun has also been preserved by Teng Xiyuan to this day.
The second gun: Nan Ma Li Qi Gong, Su Yu personally gave the gun!
In July 1947, Teng Xiyuan had been promoted to the commander of the artillery company, under the command of Su Yu of the East China Field Army, and in the Battle of Nanma, Teng Xiyuan was even more brilliant, and then made a miracle!
In the Battle of Nanma, Teng Xiyuan faced the well-equipped 11th Reorganized Division of the Nationalist Army!
On this day, Teng Xiyuan and his comrades-in-arms rushed forward to survey the terrain and look for a suitable place to fire artillery, but suddenly found that more than 200 enemies appeared in the vicinity.
The enemy's appearance was very strange, only half a place away from the main force of our army.
Our army observes the terrain
"Why did these enemy troops come?"
"Are there any large enemy troops in the back?"
"If we go back to report the news now, will the enemy suddenly launch an attack on the main force of our army?"
Teng Xiyuan's mind was full of thoughts for a while, and in an instant he had a plan:
"You go back and report the letter, and I'm here to hold the enemy back!"
Teng Xiyuan tied all the grenades on his comrades, and he decided to surprise the enemy here.
Teng Xiyuan quietly interspersed in the woods, and soon came to the top of the enemy's mountain, and then he pulled the grenade and threw it at the enemy troops at the bottom of the mountain.
For a moment, the valley was filled with the sound of grenade explosions, and the Nationalist troops panicked, and Teng Xiyuan shouted in the woods:
"Rush!"
"Listen to the people down the hill, you are already surrounded, don't shoot and don't kill!"
The Kuomintang troops could not understand the situation, did not dare to charge, and only fired at a distance.
After a while, a large force of our army rushed over at the sound of gunfire, and this enemy force was wiped out.
Teng Xiyuan was awarded the first class merit after the war, and at the commendation meeting of the Battle of Nanma, Su Yu personally rewarded Teng Xiyuan with a German-made black box gun.
Su Yu said, "Well, your boy is a lone hero!" ”
Su Yu (second from left)
This is the second pistol that Teng Xiyuan has treasured in his lifetime.
To resist us and aid Korea, Teng Xiyuan made another meritorious contribution!
In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Teng Xiyuan crossed the Yalu River and came to the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the US military had heavy firepower such as aircraft, tanks, and artillery, and although the heroic volunteer soldiers lacked heavy firepower, they still had high morale!
In 1953 in the Mapingli region of North Korea, Teng Xiyuan began the highlight of his military career again, this time against American tanks.
American tanks opened fire everywhere on the battlefield, and volunteer soldiers watched the mighty American tanks, but suffered from the lack of support from bazookas and anti-tank guns, and the battle was very fierce.
U.S. army tanks
Teng Xiyuan held a wave of anger in his heart, and he decided to blow up the enemy tanks!
Under the cover of night, Teng Xiyuan carried the explosive package, and a man touched the enemy tank, he had just hung the explosive package on the tank, and was discovered by the enemy.
"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The enemy frantically began to shoot at Teng Xiyuan, who held the heart of death and lit the explosive package without retreating.
"Boom..."
The enemy's tanks turned into a cloud of smoke and ignited the enemy positions, and a figure climbed up in the light of the fire, and Teng Xiyuan miraculously survived!
Volunteer soldiers blow up U.S. tanks
Teng Xiyuan's face was left with a black scar from the explosion, and he was once again awarded the first class merit.
A knife, two guns, the hero's peaceful old age.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Teng Xiyuan participated in the campaign more than ten times in his lifetime, and won three first-class merits, two second-class merits, and three third-class merits.
After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Teng Xiyuan returned to his hometown of Laiwu, where he did ordinary work and never mentioned the heroic deeds of the battlefield.
Whenever the night is quiet, the old man will open the box alone, carefully wipe his "old guys", and recall the smoke of the war in the past.
Teng Xiyuan was wiping the gun
In 1982, the state began to implement the gun ban law, Teng Xiyuan saw the newspaper, did not know how to deal with these two guns, he was reluctant to these two partners to accompany him all his life, and finally he found the old troops, wanted to give the two guns to the troops.
After hearing about Teng Xiyuan's experience, the troop personnel at that time were greatly moved, and in addition, Teng Xiyuan's two guns had long been rusted and could no longer shoot normally.
After the two guns were specially disposed of, the troop personnel re-handed them to Teng Xiyuan for treasure, and also issued a special certificate of gun possession.
A knife, two guns, an old man, silent companionship, is the last confession that history gives to the hero!
