On the night of February 18, 1952, 5 agents wearing volunteer uniforms boarded the US C-46 transport aircraft, and inside the plane, there were 10 U.S. troops, most of whom were their usual instructors.
The mission of their trip was to go to the rear of the volunteer army and carry out espionage sabotage
。
Soon, the plane came to the Gushan County area in northern North Korea, and at 2 a.m. on the 19th, with the order of the US governor, the "volunteer army" began to parachute.
Before the parachute, one of them suddenly threw the grenade hidden in the cotton gloves into the depths of the cabin, then quickly turned around and parachuted, and then, in the dark sky, a flame rose...
This scene naturally attracted the attention of the volunteer army ground troops, when the parachute slowly landed, the "volunteer army" who threw the grenade took the initiative to find the mountain search unit in the mountain, indicating the identity, it turned out,
He was really a volunteer, but in the previous battle, he was captured by the American army, and his name was Zhang Wenrong
Zhang Wenrong, a native of Liaozhong County, Liaoning Province, was admitted to the Communications Section of the Kuomintang Chengdu Army Officer School at the age of 22.
After more than 1 year of study, I have mastered a lot of military knowledge and radio knowledge
Although Zhang Wenrong was a student at that time, he did not hear anything out of the window.
The Kuomintang's corruption has long been hated to the bone
In November 1949, the People's Liberation Army approached Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, and quickly liberated a large area of land and approached Chengdu with the trend of blowing decay, at the same time, Lu Han announced an uprising in Yunnan, and Chiang Kai-shek, who had already gone, quickly left Chengdu and handed over the mess in Sichuan to Hu Zongnan.
At that time, for the Kuomintang, in addition to money, what continued to be taken away was talent, so,
Zhang Wenrong and more than 3,000 classmates hurriedly "graduated" and were carried to Xichang by the remnants of the Kuomintang army
On the way to the transfer, Li Yongzhong, director of the Education Department who had already made contact with the People's Liberation Army, and Xiao Pingbo, commander of the Special Forces Corps, began to actively plan the uprising, and Zhang Wenrong, who heard the news, did not want to participate and returned to the embrace of the people.
After his return, Zhang Wenrong was incorporated into the Southwest Military and Political University Chuanxi Branch to continue his studies, but,
At this time, his military uniform had been replaced by the uniform of the People's Liberation Army
In October 1956, when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, Zhang Wenrong and more than 400 insurrection students signed up to participate, and in early 1951, they went to the Korean battlefield as a telegraph operator of the 180th Division of the 60th Army of the 3rd Corps of the Volunteer Army.
At this time, the fifth battle had begun, Zhang Wenrong followed the troops, and hit more than 100 kilometers south of the 38th Line in one breath, but unfortunately,
After completing the retreat task assigned to him by his superiors, Zhang Wenrong's 180th Division was surrounded by an enemy five times larger than his own
The 180th Division was composed of local troops and insurrection personnel in the late stage of the Liberation War, before the division commander, he was also a political work cadre, lacked experience in fighting a big war and a vicious battle, after being surrounded, did not concentrate his troops to break through, but instead adopted the tactic of fighting guerrillas and dispersed the breakthrough, this move,
As a direct result, more than 5,000 people became PRISONERS in the process of breaking through, and Zhang Wenrong was one of them
Captured, Jang Wen-young and others were imprisoned in the Busan prisoner-of-war camp after a brief interrogation, and soon after, they were transferred to the Jeju Island prisoner-of-war camp, where he saw countless unforgettable scenes.
For example, the four sisters of the Volunteer Army who were raped by the US military, for example, comrades who were buried alive, for example, the comrades who were knocked unconscious by the guards forcibly tattooed the words "counter-offensive and anti-Russian" on their bodies, forcing them to go to Taiwan to "be loyal to the party-state."
Wherever there was oppression, there was resistance, and soon, in the concentration camps, secret party organizations were formed to lead the comrades in the struggle against the enemy.
Because Zhang Wenrong graduated from the Chengdu Army Officer School and was a "Huangpu student," he was "specially cared for" by Kuomintang agents from Taiwan, and they beat and pulled at Whampoa students, hoping that they could serve the Taiwan side.
Soon, Yang Wenhua, a classmate of the Chengdu Army Officer School who was also uprising, quietly came to find Zhang Wenrong.
This Yang Wenhua, with the help of the concentration camp party organization, served as the deputy commander of the 86 Company.
Taking advantage of his position in peacetime, he protected comrades in prison, and also found opportunities to punish the traitor Li Da'an, set fire to US military supplies, and so on
This time I came to find Zhang Wenrong because the US military planned to select personnel from prisoners of war, conduct espionage training, and then go to the rear of the volunteer army to sabotage, the party organization in the concentration camp, Xi
I hope that Zhang Wenrong can take this opportunity to escape from the magic cave and report the situation in the concentration camp to the head of the volunteer army
thereupon
Zhang Wenrong chose to be a "traitor"
With the help of the comrades in the concentration camp, it became the object of "special recruitment".
In December 1951, Jang Left the Prisoner of War Camp and was sent to the Secret Service School in Tokyo, Japan, for training, and then returned to Seoul to continue his training, followed by the night of February 18.
Parachuted into the rear of the People's Liberation Army, a grenade, blowing up the US military aircraft
Found by the comrades of the searching unit, Zhang Wenrong immediately explained his identity to them, originally, the volunteer army could not determine the authenticity of the things Zhang Wenrong confessed, fortunately,
At the moment when Zhang Wenrong threw the grenade into the cabin of the US aircraft, a US military commander reacted quickly, quickly parachuted to escape, and became a prisoner of the volunteer army, from his mouth, confirmed Zhang Wenrong's heroic feat
After his return, Zhang Wenrong told the volunteer leader Original Ben about the scene he saw in the prisoner of war camp, when the volunteer army was negotiating with the United States and South Korea.
As far as the prisoners were concerned, the US military shirked everything and engaged in the so-called "voluntary repatriation."
With Zhang Wenrong's confession, the volunteers argued on the basis of reason at the negotiating table and made the crimes of the US troops public, forcing the US troops to restrain themselves.
Due to the reasons of the times, Zhang Wenrong, who returned to the army, was not recognized, but was sent back to China for examination, and it was not until March 1958 that he came to a conclusion, that is, "surrendered himself and had meritorious performance", for which Zhang Wenrong was specially rewarded with 800 yuan.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wenrong's military rank has not been restored, and he was soon repatriated to the countryside to work as a farmer.
At that time, the movement was continuous, and it was conceivable that a soldier who had been repatriated to his hometown was facing something, but zhang Wenrong was silently enduring all this, after all, he was much luckier to be alive than the comrades who died on the battlefield.
At the same time, he was also waiting for the day of his rehabilitation, but unfortunately, he failed to do so.
In March 2002, Zhang Wenrong died at the age of 74, and it was not until three months after his death that the family received the decision to reinstate him from the military and the reissued demobilized service certificate, as well as demobilization fees
It is a pity that all this, the hero of the Korean battlefield, failed to see it with his own eyes...
