"Todoroki!"
In the empty plain, there was a thunderous tremor.
The steel monster covered in steel plates and tracks, with an unstoppable attitude, pressed straight towards the position of the People's Liberation Army.
The warrior, who was at the forefront of the position, shouted behind him:
"Lao Jiang sent a tank, let's taste the taste of "gnawing" the tank, let's give him something hard!"
As soon as the words fell, a scream sounded in everyone's ears.
At the same time, a round cannonball also fell from mid-air.
The leading warrior did not panic at all, and one of them lay down and buried his body behind the fortification, and the thick gunpowder wrapped in shrapnel set off a large piece of land.
And the PLA fighters in the positions were also replaced with armor-piercing shells specially designed to deal with tanks.
The soldier who was about to gnaw at the tank rolled out of the fortifications on his side, and at some point there was an extra bazooka on his shoulder.
"Bang!"
The armor-piercing bullet swooped down on the opposite tank like an unsheathed flying sword.
There was a loud bang, and the missile hit the front right side of the tank.
The big guy immediately stopped cooking.
The fighters swarmed up and captured all the drivers in the tank.
And this brave and careful soldier in the face of danger is none other than Chi Haotian, the combat hero of our army.
A hundred battles show their might
Presumably, when Zhu Jun read the Three Kingdoms when he was young, the hero he admired the most was neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei, but the Changshan Zhao Zilong who single-handedly entered and exited.
Liu Bei once boasted: "Zilong is full of guts. ”
And in the People's Liberation Army, there is no shortage of combat heroes like Zhao Zilong.
Chi Haotian was born in Zhaoyuan, Shandong.
In 1944, he participated in the revolution.
It is unbelievable that this combat hero is actually a capable civil and martial artist, and he also served as a clerk of the squadron at the earliest.
After that, he successively served as a cultural officer and secretary of the company.
In 1948, he successively served as deputy instructor, instructor, and deputy instructor of a certain department in Mino.
It can be said that he is a genuine political cadre.
But who would have thought that the reason why Chi Haotian was able to rise so fast was completely by relying on his strength to climb up step by step.
It turned out that although Chi Haotian only served as a civilian worker in the early days, the Liberation War was in full swing at that time.
He was in the 13th Regiment of Jiaodong, the ace unit.
The combat duty in the troops was heavy, and even civilian personnel, if necessary, charged with bayonets.
Chi Haotian, who went into battle for the first time, was not stage frightened at all.
He didn't have the nervousness that a recruit should have.
And that's not all, with this successful experience.
Chi Haotian is even more at ease on the battlefield,
was praised immediately, and became a combat hero of the whole company in one fell swoop.
In 1947, Chi Haotian's unit was resting.
As the company's cultural officer, he was leading two cooks out at that time, preparing to find some supplies to bring back to make a fire for cooking.
When the three were looking for supplies on the road, they happened to encounter a Kuomintang army.
There are many people on the other side, at least hundreds of people.
This scared the two cooks enough, and they were about to slip away when they pulled Chi Haotian, but Chi Haotian's brain circuit was obviously different from ordinary people.
After careful observation, he keenly found that this enemy unit was in tattered clothes, and there was no shortage of wounded in the ranks.
Therefore, he boldly speculated that this small force was the broken up army of the Kuomintang.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Korean War broke out.
迟浩田所在的部队奉命入朝参战。
In the Battle of Changjin Lake, which shocked the world, the participating units of the Volunteer Army caused large-scale non-combat attrition due to the severe cold weather.
However, Chi Haotian's company had the least non-combat attrition.
Because he grew up in the north since he was a child, he knows some local methods to keep warm from the cold.
When he was in Changjin Lake, he actively guided the soldiers to keep out the cold and reduced a large number of frostbites.
In 1955, Chi Haotian was awarded the title of the whole army, and his post had been upgraded to deputy director of the political department of the regiment, and he was already a veritable deputy regiment-level cadre.
Even during the war years, such a rate of growth was very fast.
This is because the assessment of military ranks is a heavy responsibility and has a bearing on the vital interests of hundreds of thousands of officers in the whole army.
Therefore, before the Central Military Commission approves the military ranks, the military ranks of each unit must first be assessed by the units themselves.
At that time, Chi Haotian was only 26 years old, but he was already an out-and-out hero of a hundred battles.
So organizationally, let him fill in the ranks by himself.
Chi Haotian filled in the form as a captain, but this decision was directly rejected by the organization, what is the reason?
Award people according to their contributions
The military is the most orderly-oriented place in the world, and orderliness from top to bottom, respect and humility are the basic guarantees for the order to be carried out.
At that time, Chi Haotian's position level was at the deputy regimental level, and he at least started as a school officer in the evaluation of military ranks.
After all, a cadre at the company level can hold the rank of captain.
And the battalion rank is a captain, or even a major.
Chi Haotian's position at the deputy regimental level is here, but he declares himself as a captain.
It's obviously self-humility, and that's not in line with the rules.
So, after rejecting Chi Haotian's application form.
It is not that Chi Haotian is only worthy of being a major, but for the meritorious service that Chi Haotian has established since he participated in the revolution.
Coupled with his current position, it is not impossible to be awarded the title of lieutenant colonel.
But as I said before, Chi Haotian was only 26 years old at that time.
Although he has participated in the revolution for 10 years, he is still a real young man in terms of age.
It is precisely because of the importance of Chi Haotian and for his future growth that the rank of major is the most suitable choice for Chi Haotian at that time.
This decision is undoubtedly very correct.
After Chi Haotian was awarded, he was not complacent.
Instead, they should work more conscientiously, delve into tactics and strategies, and draw up training plans based on their own combat experience, so as to contribute to enhancing the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Chi Haotian's position is also constantly changing.
He was transferred from deputy director to director of the political department, and then went to a higher school for further study, and after returning to the army, he served as the political commissar of the regiment.
After that, he successively served as director of the Political Department of the 79th Division, deputy political commissar, head of the People's Daily, deputy chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army and director of the Political Department of the General Staff, and chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army.
In September 1988, he was awarded the rank of general.
In 1995, he was appointed vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.
