It is the Chinese People's Volunteer Army
The Anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
71 years ago
For the peace of the motherland
Countless good sons and daughters of China have crossed the Yalu River
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was launched, and the family was defended and the country was defended
Gunshots for world peace and human justice
Today
Let's get closer to 4 veterans of the Volunteer Army
From the stories they tell
Go back to that era when ice and blood mingled
"This is the strongest bridge in the world"
He and his comrades stood in the ice water for 40 minutes to carry the bridge
He Peihua, an 86-year-old veteran who lives in Deqing, Huzhou
They were the first volunteer soldiers to fight in Korea
He was also one of the youngest volunteer soldiers of the time
△ Photos of He Peihua during the volunteer army
March 1950
He Peihua, who was only 15 years old, signed up for the army
Became a soldier in the literary team
November 7, 1950
He Peihua and his comrades-in-arms arrived at the Border of the Korean River
On the battlefield, his main task
It is through allegro, singing, etc
Cheer up your comrades-in-arms
△ He Peihua displayed the uniforms of the volunteer army and the medals won in that year (the uniforms are replicas)
On a cross-glacier at once
The bridge was blown up by enemy aircraft
Hundreds of warriors jumped down the river without hesitation
Carry the bridge in the water
He Peihua put down the allegro and jumped down
"That kind of cold,
It's like countless thorns stuck in your legs. ”
He Peihua's side is constantly surrounded by comrades-in-arms
Fell due to cold and hunger
One fell
There will be a new comrade-in-arms to take over immediately...
Just to ensure that the large troops cross the river smoothly
He Peihua and his comrades-in-arms were like this
Stood in the ice water for more than 40 minutes
My shoulders were swollen and my legs and feet were numb
But none of them said a word
Until the last warrior crossed the river
△ When it comes to emotional places, He Peihua can't help but cry
Mention this experience every time
He Peihua was very excited:
"I have walked over countless bridges,
But in my heart,
This bridge of flesh and blood,
It is the strongest bridge in the world.
It sent tens of thousands of troops and equipment across the river,
Carried the victory of one battle after another. ”
"We are hot-blooded youths, and we are not afraid of death"
Brothers go to war together
It is in the movie "Chosin Lake", which is currently being screened
The story of the Wu family brothers brought many viewers to tears
71 years ago, Shaoxing Zhuji also had a pair of Yang family brothers
He experienced a life-and-death separation at the Battle of Chosin Lake
△ Yang Luotian, a veteran soldier of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Veteran soldier Yang Luotian is 90 years old this year
November 1950
He is with his eldest brother Yang Xintian, who is 8 years older than himself
Together, they took the train north to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
△ Old photos of Yang Luotian when he joined the army
Battle of Chosin Lake
It was the first battle fought by the Yang brothers after entering North Korea
The brothers have not heard from each other since they separated from each other at the station
"We're all in the artillery regiment,
The eldest brother was a company instructor of the Artillery Regiment of the 60th Division of the 20th Army.
I am a soldier of the Artillery Regiment of the 58th Division of the 20th Army. ”
In such a rain of bullets
Yang Luotian suddenly learned from a comrade-in-arms:
My brother died
"I don't dare ask more,
I am afraid that the more I know, the more I can't bear it. ”
Yang Luotian remembered that he didn't say a word at that time
Because I've seen too many cruel scenes on the battlefield
△ Old photo of the eldest brother Yang Xintian joining the army
How did Big Brother die?
The picture of blood and ice made Yang Luotian dare not think about it
"We are hot-blooded young people who are not afraid of death."
He consoled himself
There are five brothers and two younger sisters in the family
Even if they are sacrificed, their parents still have someone to take care of
Fortunately, big brother did not have an accident
After the Battle of Chosin Lake
The eldest brother got in touch with Yang Luotian
It turned out that he had been hit by a vehicle and fell down the hill
Mistaken for dead
Finally sent to the hospital to save back
After the Battle of Chosin Lake
Yang Luotian was awarded the fourth class of merit
The brothers then joined again
The Fifth Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
"I keep bandaging, there are too many unsung heroes!"
The 3 fighters he saved were later credited
Liu Zhifeng, a 91-year-old veteran this year
He was a military doctor in the Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
In the Battle of Chosin Lake that year
The mission of Liu Zhifeng and his comrades-in-arms
It was to capture Dead Eagle Ridge and hold its ground
△ Liu Zhifeng when he was young
A U.S. air raid
The positions were blown up beyond recognition
Liu Zhifeng saw 3 soldiers of the heavy machine gun squad
Slipped down the hillside and was buried in the rubble
He stepped forward and pulled the warriors out of the soil
Wrap it in tarpaulin and run
The shells then fell again
Liu Zhifeng is small
It is very difficult to drag 3 comrades
But the belief of "never abandoning comrades-in-arms"
He was supported to complete the rescue mission
Fortunately, the comrades were not seriously injured
After Liu Zhifeng gave them simple treatment
Everyone went into battle again
△ Liu Zhifeng told reporters about the Battle of Changjin Lake
A late night with a blizzard
Liu Zhifeng saw it again
Heavy machine gun squad soldiers who had been saved before
They were injured and squatted in bunkers unable to move
Liu Zhifeng simply bandaged their wounds
With 3 men and an artilleryman, he quickly retreated
Because it walks for a long time in the temperature of minus 40 ° C
Liu Zhifeng wears only thin cotton clothes and single-layer rubber shoes
All the toes froze and turned black
But what makes Liu Zhifeng happy is
He saved 3 heavy machine gun squad fighters twice
Later, they all made meritorious contributions on the battlefield
△ Liu Zhifeng in military uniform
Remembering the comrades who died
The old man's eyes are red:
"The soldiers on the front line were wounded,
A steady stream of treatment was sent to the rear,
I kept bandaging the wounded soldiers,
There are too many unsung heroes. ”
now
See the advanced weapons and equipment introduced in the newspaper
Liu Zhifeng was always deeply attracted
"If our weapons and equipment had been so good,
There will be no sacrifice of so many comrades-in-arms. ”
"Serious injuries do not shed tears, minor injuries do not fall into the line of fire"
His familiar comrades were almost all sacrificed
From the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the liberation of Yijiangshan Island
Chen Longgang, a 96-year-old veteran who lives in Jiaojiang, Taizhou
In this life, he participated in countless battles
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a very special one
Chen Longgang followed the troops to the Border between China and North Korea
Walked in the ice and snow for three days and three nights
Only to reach the Chosin Lake area
I heard that Yang Gensi was on the front line
Pick up the explosives package and die with the enemy
His blood boiled:
"Make up your mind and don't be afraid of sacrifice!"
The mission of Chen Longgang's unit
It is to occupy and hold several highlands in the ancient soil and water area
Thus cutting off the rear road of the enemy forces in the lower Yuri-ri in the south of Chosin Lake
And block the reinforcements of the American troops heading north
The enemy they faced at the time was
Nearly a thousand U.S. troops, more than 20 aircraft, 8 tanks
Because the disparity in armament strength is quite large
The volunteers relied on "two hundred meters of hard kung fu"
When U.S. aircraft bomb and artillery fires
The infantry were hiding in the fortifications
Only one observer remained outside to watch the sentry
When the enemy is approaching, the enemy and the enemy are staggered
Throw grenades or spell bayonets again
But Chen Longgang said, "Don't be afraid at all."
Because the two sides are fighting for the opposite
Soldiers of the U.S. Army
Once the front was killed by a grenade
The poop in the rear is no longer fighting
Volunteer soldiers are different
Everyone charged forward with the determination to die
He and his comrades repelled American attacks seven times in a day
In this battle
Chen Longgang's head and legs were hit by shells
But he didn't take a step back
The most thrilling time, a rocket
Straight into the ground between his feet
It was half a meter long when it came out of the soil
Fortunately, it was a dud
The battle is over
Chen Longgang shouted into the trenches, "Is there anyone there?"
The only response was the howling cold wind
Chen Longgang's heart once again held a belief
Since you came to North Korea, don't want to go back alive
Later, he and his troops headed south
Until the Battle of Shangganling
After returning to China with the 20th Army in October 1952
He was awarded the Third Class Merit once
71 years have passed since the smoke and flames of war have gone away, but history will always remember those enthusiastic young people who dedicated their youth to the motherland, and now the mountains and rivers are unharmed, and the country is safe, which is the best gift given to my generation by the ancestors
Hats off to the heroes
I wish them peace and health
