In the 1960s, a small village in Chifeng County, Inner Mongolia, slowly drove into a few cars, which caused a sensation in the village for a while.
You know, in those days, few people in small villages could afford to drive such a car, so the local villagers came to watch.
There were a few capable people walking down the car, and it could be seen that they were all leaders, all of them were full of vigor and seriousness. The villagers hurriedly called out to the village cadres, and after the village chief came forward to receive them, they learned that these people were all government workers, and even a deputy commander of a military region.
As soon as the leader got out of the car, he eagerly asked, "Is there a person in your village named Yu Shuilin?"
The village chief was very surprised after hearing this: "Yu Shuilin? Are you talking about the disabled tramp? He lives in a stable in our village, are you not mistaken? ”
As soon as the leader heard this, he immediately asked the village chief to lead them to the horse shed, where a tattered and slow-moving tramp was struggling to clean up the hay with one hand. The large cotton coat he was wearing had already revealed the yellow cotton inside, and the gray-headed and earthy appearance was in vain sad.
When the leader saw the appearance of the tramp, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes: "Old Yu, ten years, where have you been all these years?"
Resolutely join the army and charge into the battlefield
The tramp in the stable is named Yu Shuilin, a native of Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. He was born in the war years and his family was not wealthy. He did not have the opportunity to enter the school and receive a real education after surviving the war.
In that chaotic age, Yu Shuilin had witnessed one scene after another of brutality and viciousness since childhood. Because of the war, his relatives also died in the continuous flight, leaving him alone to survive.
Yu Shuilin grew up slowly, and the country's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression finally won victory, but after a short period of calm, the Liberation War broke out again, and yu Shuilin's homeland was once again plunged into war.
Farmers of the last century
At that time, Yu Shuilin had grown up slowly, had the ability to be independent, and saw that the people around him had been living under the cruelty of war for a long time, and it was difficult to live in peace, and not only did he have the idea of joining the army.
Yu Shuilin, who has suffered from war and chaos since childhood, wants to return to peace in his hometown through his own efforts and let the people truly live a happy and stable life.
So he was alone and resolutely participated in the recruitment of his hometown. After entering the army, Yu Shuilin has been practicing with the recruits. In the army, he studied very hard, and every achievement was very outstanding.
However, at that time, there was a frequent war and the demand for soldiers was very large, so not long after the new recruit company was trained, he followed the troops to participate in the liberation war.
Sign up for the army
The troops at that time did not have time to systematically train the recruits, and most of the recruits rushed to the front line after only simple training. Some recruits, because of timidity, always followed at the end of the line.
However, Yu Shuilin, who had just entered the battlefield, did not show the slightest retreat, he charged forward on various battlefields, always rushed to the front of the team, and cooperated with other fighters to participate in one war after another.
Entering the DPRK to fight, not afraid of life and death
After the baptism of battle, Yu Shuilin also slowly grew into a brave veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles. On all the battlefields of the Liberation War, he can be seen moving forward.
After the victory of the Liberation War, Yu Shuilin thought that life had finally returned to peace, and his wish had finally come true, and he was ready to return to his hometown to live in peace, but the current calm did not last long before the Korean War broke out.
In 1950, the Korean War broke out, and the sharp guns of the United States quickly approached the border areas of the mainland, and the shells destroyed the homes of hundreds of people, who were unable to survive and could not survive.
In order to defend the country's territory, the central government decided to assist North Korea against the United States, and reorganized the then People's Liberation Army into a volunteer army. Yu Shuilin, who was in the ranks of the People's Liberation Army at that time, also crossed the 38th Line with the large troops and went to a foreign country to fight in Korea.
At that time, Yu Shuilin had accumulated a lot of combat experience, and he had always been brave and resourceful on the battlefield, and like other Chinese volunteers, he did not flinch on the battlefield.
Later, the Mainland Volunteer Army withstood the indomitable combat strength to beat the enemy army out of the 38th Line, and thus won the third war. The victory in this war also provided favorable conditions for the rest of the mainland troops.
Subsequently, the U.S. army quickly got in touch with the British army, and a new batch of heavy weapons such as tanks were used in the war, and in order to avoid a frontal confrontation with heavy weapons, our army took the initiative to launch the fourth war.
However, even in this war, Rao was a veteran of Zhai Shuiqing and Yu Shuilin, who was very experienced in fighting at that time, and also felt that there were many difficulties.
The fourth war was originally initiated by our army on its own initiative, so at the beginning, our army had the advantage in strength, but with the arrival of the enemy's aid weapons, their combat strength quickly increased, and watching the soldiers fall in a pool of blood one by one, our army had to adjust the battle plan.
In order to avoid a frontal impact with the enemy's heavy weapons, our army held a meeting and decided to change its strategic approach, and they decided to set up a commando team to go around the enemy's rear and look for a breakthrough for the team.
The meeting decided to make Zhai Shuiqing, who had experienced hundreds of battles, the commander. At that time, Yu Shuilin, as a veteran with great combat experience, was also selected into this team. It is not easy to find the breakthrough of the enemy army, and it is very difficult to get the attention of the other side to detour the enemy rear, which is very difficult on the battlefield, but this move is directly related to the victory of the war, and the soldiers are ready to die.
The assault squad at that time, relying on the skillful command ability of Commander Zhai Shuiqing, successfully circled the rear of the enemy army, and soon they found two enemy tanks in the roaring motor.
The commandos who had not been able to touch here did not dare to delay at all, and after the commander's order, they did their best to pull all the prepared grenades and throw them at the feet of the enemy army, and the battle was raging for a while.
However, even though the huge fire suppressed a group of enemy troops, the tank shell was hard, the blast just now did not completely destroy the two tanks, and in the rear of the enemy army, the commando team members still did not have the advantage.
The enemy soon realized the arrival of the assault squad, so they immediately launched fire on them, watching their comrades fall one by one, while the tanks and their artillery army could not attack for a long time.
The rest of the commando squad members were all impatient, and they knew that someone had to throw the grenade into the cockpit of the tank at this point, or all the members would not only fail to complete the mission, but would also die here.
In the sky of bullets, they never caught the opportunity to go to the cockpit of the tank, and all the soldiers were anxious to red-eyed. Just then, a tall figure emerged from the rain of bullets and rushed up to avoid the bullets, holding two anti-tank grenades in his arms, his eyes like a torch, without any fear. This person is Yu Shuilin.
At this time, Zhai Shuiqing, who was the instructor behind him, saw his comrades rush forward and shouted loudly to dissuade him. However, Yu Shuilin understood that now that he could not take care of so much, someone must rush forward and blow up the enemy tanks, and Zhai Shuiqing's tearful shouting in the back could not shake his determination in the slightest.
Yu Shuilin, with the help of his teammates' firepower, quietly reached the enemy's blind spot from the side, holding the only two anti-tank grenades in the team, and he knew in his heart that success or failure was in this move.
After the instructor saw that he had successfully touched the side of the tank, he ordered all the fighters to cover with fire.
Only to see Yu Shuilin bounce off the ground and run towards the tank, the enemy troops next to the tank were also stunned by his divine soldiers, Yu Shuilin crossed them and stuffed the anti-tank grenade directly into the tank's tracks, pulled the grenade, and then flew into the pit next to it. The movements were sharp and agile, and even Zhai Shuiqing, who was hiding in the distance to observe, couldn't help but shout good.
Volunteers
Suddenly, the flames roared and the fire was fierce, the tank was destroyed, and all the soldiers quickly rushed up and increased their firepower. At this time, the commando members all thought that Yu Shuilin had sacrificed himself in the huge firelight, and Zhai Shuiqing directly ordered: "Everyone increase firepower, rush, and carry Shuilin's body back!"
It was also in this gap that the enemy also thought that he had already died in the artillery fire, so the firepower was not here. Therefore, at this time, Yu Shuilin seized the opportunity, rushed to the side of another tank, stuffed the grenade into it, and the tank was successfully destroyed.
By this time he had already exposed his position, and the rows of bullets were strafing over, and Yu Shuilin was unable to resist in the midst of huge explosions and bullets with nowhere to escape. He only felt that his right arm was painful and numb, his body could no longer stand, and he thought that he must die here, so he grabbed a gun and shot at the enemy army like a life, until the great exhaustion and pain made him lose consciousness.
Zhai Wenqing
When he woke up again, Yu Shuilin found that he had lost his right arm, and his heroic performance in this battle was also praised by people, and at that time, the organization awarded Yu Shuilin the title of second-class combat hero.
After the severed arm, he was incognito
After losing his right arm, Yu Shuilin could have relied on his own merits and spent the second half of his life in peace, but as a warrior who charged on the battlefield, Yu Shuilin felt that he had no ability to fight with such an injury, he did not want to add trouble to the organization, and wanted to bear all this alone and silently. So after he recovered from his injuries, he secretly withdrew from the team.
Yu Shuilin, who lost his right arm, found it difficult to find a decent job because of his disability, and soon he spent all his savings. Wandered all the way to a small village. The village chief at that time saw that the homeless man had a disability and was very sympathetic, so he arranged him in the horse barn in the village, and raised horses in exchange for some meager income to survive. Later, Yu Shuilin's life was very poor, but he still did not mention his exploits to anyone.
Zhai Shuiqing, who was the commander of that battle, always remembered his old comrade-in-arms, so after the victory of the Korean War, he returned to China to start inquiring about the news of his old comrades-in-arms, but the communication equipment at that time was not developed, and the data records were not detailed, Zhai Shuiqing looked up a lot of information, but still could not find him, and could only slowly search for a needle in a haystack.
It was not until this year, when he was arranged by the organization to go to the countryside as a government representative to offer condolences, that by chance, he heard that there was a one-armed old man in a village.
With the mentality of trying it out, Zhai Shuiqing rushed here, and even he couldn't imagine that he would see his old comrade-in-arms again in this dirty horse shed. Seeing that familiar figure, Zhai Shuiqing burst into tears, and later with his help, the local government also learned about this combat hero and helped him improve his living conditions. Later, under the mediation of his old comrades-in-arms and the government, Yu Shuilin married and had children and lived a happy and stable life.
During the period of revolutionary fighting, countless revolutionary fighters threw their heads and spilled their blood for the sake of the happy life of the people, and after the victory of the revolution, they quietly withdrew, unwilling to add any trouble to the country. Yu Shuilin's heart has always believed that defending the family and defending the country is his duty, and he retired after the victory of the war, so the spirit of loyalty to the motherland and love of life is worth learning forever for our future generations!
