The warriors were carrying coffins
Man is inherently mortal, either lighter than Hong Mao or heavier than Mount Tai.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, social unrest, wars raged, devastation, and the people were not happy.
At that time, the death of an individual seemed like a normal thing.
However, the sacrifice of one person made all the officers and men of the regiment together to wear a linen and wear filial piety for him, and collectively knelt down to his body, Zhou Xihan wept bitterly for his loss, and 6,000 people carried the coffin to send him off.
He was the subordinate of Chen Geng, the founding father of the mainland, and the deputy brigade commander of the Fourth Column and Tenth Brigade, Chu Daming.
Chu Daming
He's a freak
February 1946.
Chu Daming, who was the deputy brigade commander, was newly married to his wife Zhou Yu.
This was supposed to be a time of joy and joy, but at noon on this day, the soldiers in the army saw Chu Daming holding a pistol, constantly chasing After Zhou Yu, and shouted in his mouth: "You evil spirit, stop me!" ”
Zhou Yu in front of him hid his face and cried bitterly as he ran, scolding from time to time: "Chu Daming, you are not human. ”
The so-called sentry did not dare to stop him after seeing it, and immediately turned to report to the brigade commander Zhou Xihan, hoping that he would go to the fight.
Hearing the cycle of the news, he trotted all the way over, quickly pulled Zhou Yu behind him, and loudly rebuked Chu Daming: "Chu Daming, what are you crazy about?" ”
Seeing that the brigade commander Chu Daming slightly retracted and put away the pistol, he still did not spare: "Brigade commander, you don't care, I have to leave this mother-in-law today." ”
Speaking of the reason for this, we must start with Chu Daming himself.
Chu Daming, born in 1916.
Originally, he was born in a poor peasant family in Shangcheng County, Henan.
He officially joined the Red Army in 1932.
Chu Daming, who was bent on killing the enemy and serving the country, studied medicine when he was a child, and the leaders of the Red Army arranged for him to serve as a nurse and rescue the wounded.
Naturally reluctant, he quickly applied to his superiors to go to the front.
It just so happened that Xu Shiyou, the commander of the 34th Regiment of the 12th Division, took a fancy to him, so he transferred him to be a guard by his side.
Xu Shiyou was a famous general of the Red Army, who fought very bravely, often taking the lead in battle and taking the lead in launching a charge.
Chu Daming was deeply affected by him and fought like a madman who did not want to die.
Every time I came back from a battle, I was covered in blood.
He often talked to his comrades-in-arms around him: "If a soldier instigates one, he will instigate a nest." Our regimental commanders all took the lead in fighting the charge, and I, who was a guard, could not be a shrunken-headed turtle. ”
In 1933, Chu Daming was allowed to join our party after being inspected by his superiors, and he was 17 years old.
Because he had been around the fierce general for a long time, he was very brave in every battle, and was unanimously recognized by the superior leaders, and then successively served as a squad leader, platoon leader, company commander and other positions, and followed the Red Fourth Front to participate in the Long March.
Later, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, and at the end of 1937, Chu Daming followed the 129th Division of our army into the Jinnan region.
At this time, Chu Daming had become a qualified cadre.
In 1938, Chu Daming was transferred to the Jinan Military Region by his superiors and became the battalion commander of the 20th Regiment.
Train troops
This force was reorganized from the guards of the nearby landlord's house.
The soldiers were mixed, and the morale was floating and demoralized, and no one else wanted the mess.
After Chu Daming applied for office, he strictly straightened out military discipline and strengthened training, and soon built this miscellaneous army into a qualified army.
At that time, our army's equipment and weapons were very backward, and at this time there were not even a few guns.
In order to be able to confront the enemy army, Chu Daming came up with an idea, and after taking office, he often led the warriors to practice assassination.
Every time he went out on a campaign, he would do pre-war mobilization.
march
"What is the ability to fight a war and win a war by relying on weapons and equipment?" I'm going to show those devils how powerful our big blades are. ”
"My soldiers rely on fierceness, and the breeds that are prodded and raised are not worthy of entering our camp."
Chu Daming also often said: "White blade warfare relies on a heroic spirit, but also a test of a heroic guts, who is not afraid of death can live!" ”
He is a tiger general himself, and he is a pioneer in every battle.
In a battle in 1939, when Chu Daming was engaged in an encounter with the enemy, he directly led the battalion communication squad into the Japanese base camp.
As soon as I entered, I saw two ghosts rushing in front of me, and the white knife stabs on the gun head were extremely dazzling, and the soldiers of the communication squad were momentarily stunned.
Chu Daming roared and rushed forward.
First shoot to bring down one person, and then fight with bare hands and devils with guns and knives.
charge
The two were entangled and tumbled on the ground.
The battlefield battle relied on omnipotence, and during the fight, Chu Daming bit the opponent's palm fiercely.
When he shrank his hand, he inserted it into the eyes of the other party.
With a scream, the devil's eyeball was even more exhumed by Chu Daming, and he himself was knocked out two front teeth by the struggling devil.
The recruits behind them were infected by the bravery of the famous, and rushed forward to fight the rest of the Japanese troops who had heard the news.
After this battle, the prestige of the "Chu Madman" spread throughout the military region, and the enemy army was frightened, and the second battalion he belonged to was even more famous.
After commander Chen Zaidao learned of this incident, he instructed the rear hospital to set two gold teeth for Chu Daming.
After that they went through hundreds of battles, large and small.
In 1942, Chu Daming became the deputy commander of the 20th Regiment.
Zhi Yong double Chu Daming
Chu Daming did not rely entirely on reckless fighting, and he had extremely high wisdom and combat experience.
In the southern Hebei Plain, the enemy built many artillery towers, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and wounded many soldiers of our army.
In order to reduce the casualties of the troops, he and the soldiers invented a simplified version of the "tank".
The thick quilts are soaked with water one by one, which increases the barrier and is tied to a large square table.
In battle, the "tank" is very thick and very difficult to penetrate, which has become a great weapon for pulling out the enemy's bunkers.
As the enemy's periphery was slowly pulled out, our army's battle with them entered the battle of the city's streets.
Chu Daming constantly summed up his experience during the battle and invented the "rat digging hole" fighting method.
When attacking, avoid the open area of the street, open the walls of houses and courtyards, break the walls of the houses, dig holes in the walls, and hide the behavior during the battle, which greatly reduces the casualties of our soldiers.
This method of combat was highly appreciated by Chen Geng, commander of the 386 brigade.
In 1943, Chu Daming was appointed head of the 20th Regiment.
Wu Xiaomin
During this period, his superiors assigned him a director of the political department named Wu Xiaomin.
Wu Xiaomin is a myopic person, wearing a pair of high glasses, thick like the bottom of a wine bottle.
Chu Daming looked at this nerd-like guy, and suddenly he was angry, so he immediately asked him to kill a few devils and take up his post with his head in his hands.
This "xiucai" was full of grievances for a while, thinking that he was really unladylike.
However, after staying for a long time in the Twenty Regiments, he was also deeply infected by Chu Daming, and soon changed from a clerk who could only hold a pen to a military general with a gun.
Wu Xiaomin personally led the company to attack the Devil's Turret and successfully captured it.
After that battle, Chu Daming gradually changed his mind about this white-faced scholar and began to teach him the knowledge of marching and fighting.
Under his guidance, Wu Xiaomin became the founding major general of the mainland.
In 1944, the Taiyue Military Region awarded Chu Daming the title of "Special Combat Hero", and commander Chen Geng did not hesitate to praise him, calling him ""
Taiyue will be fierce, the first to push Chu Daming! “
It was in 1944, when Chu Daming was shot in the abdomen during the Battle of Qingfu and was sent to the rear hospital for convalescence.
Here, he was carefully cared for by a little girl named Zhou Yu.
After hearing about his many heroic deeds, this little girl had the courage to confess to him.
Chen Geng
Chu Daming laughed and said, "Your nun is nine years younger than me, how is this appropriate, I only think you are a sister." ”
After Chu Daming recovered from his injuries, he threw himself into the battle again, and later heard that Zhou Yu's mother had died of illness, and remembering this poor "sister", he sent the allowance to the envoy.
This time, the "sister" Zhou Yu even identified him, and wanted to marry him as a mother-in-law.
In 1945, Chu Daming was appointed deputy brigade commander.
In February 1946, the "sister" Zhou Yu, who was far behind, suddenly came to the garrison of the troops, this time she came to marry Chu Daming.
At this time, Zhou Yu was already 19 years old, it was the time when he was waiting to be married, and he looked beautiful and lovely.
Under the mediation of Zhou Xihan's lover Zhou Xuan, the two finally entered the palace of marriage.
Zhou Xihan
At first, Chu Daming was unwilling in his heart, afraid of delaying his command of the battle, but he saw that everyone had come to persuade him and let go of his prejudices.
On February 5, 1946, under the witness of the leaders of the military region and the soldiers of the legion, Chu Daming got married.
This was supposed to be a happy day, but Chu Daming, who knew nothing about the love affairs of men and women, did an extremely absurd thing.
After a few days of getting along, the two are also harmonious.
At noon on February 8, Chu Daming was lying on the bed resting, Zhou Yu beside her was full of shyness, she gently climbed to Chu Daming's side, hugged him affectionately and said: "Let's live a good life in the future, I will carry water, cook, and take care of you for a lifetime..."
After listening to it, The straight Chu Daming suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his heart, but then he was shocked.
Remembering the many comrades around him, he angrily scolded: "No wonder many cadres I know have lost their fighting spirit when they get married, and they don't dare to fight when they fight. ”
During the conversation, he even punched Zhou Yu.
Inexplicably beaten, Zhou Yu was frightened and ran out, which happened at the beginning.
Later, after the explanations of the people around him, Chu Daming repented and quickly apologized to Zhou Yu, and the two reconciled.
January 17, 1947, was the most intense battle of Fenxiao.
Chu Daming led the officers and men of the 10th Brigade to launch several successive waves of charge against the enemy's position, but because the enemy's firepower was too fierce, it was always impossible to break through.
Chu Daming was extremely anxious, and if this continued, the entire battle plan would be disrupted.
He stood up violently and was about to lead the charge himself.
Several guards saw this and quickly suppressed him.
"Old Chu, you calm down." The political commissar, under the persuasion of the side, dispelled his impatience.
The troops once again launched a charge against the enemy, but the enemy on the opposite side was the elite troops, the weapons and equipment were extremely advanced, and the soldiers paid a great sacrifice or were repulsed.
Chu Daming struggled to get up and was about to command the battle.
However, he had been noticed by the enemy before.
Whoosh...
A series of 4 guns hit Chu Daming's chest, and blood suddenly gushed out.
Chu Daming snorted and fell on the position, sacrificing heroically, at the age of 31.
According to the doctor who rescued him, "He had more than 60 scars on his body, more than 20 wounds, and he was still a pioneer and fought on the front line." “
The angry warriors, filled with hatred, chanted "Avenge the Brigade Commander" and killed them.
On January 29, the battle ended, and our army killed a total of 12,000 enemies and achieved a major victory.
When the brigade commander Zhou Xihan learned the bad news of Chu Daming's sacrifice, he couldn't help but cry bitterly.
Commander Chen Geng was equally distressed, and he sighed: "We have lost a good comrade! “
Chen Geng also ordered people to sort out Chu Daming's deeds and record them in the register.
"Chu Daming is a hero, and we shouldn't forget him."
Chu Daming sacrificed
At the end of the battle, the body of Chu Daming was taken to the rear of our army for burial.
On the way back, a total of 6,000 officers and men of Chu Daming's 10 brigades followed, and they guarded the brigadier's coffin without a word, and even rushed to carry the coffin.
The hero sacrificed, but his spirit will never be broken.
It is these heroes who have exchanged their flesh and blood and sacrifice for the tranquility of new China and the peace and contentment of the people.
Brigadier Chu's experience can be sung and wept, and his spirit should be passed on to us.
May the hero not be forgotten by the world, and may the deeds be known to the people.
Chu Daming, a true hero, should be immortal!
