Walking into the home of Hei Weifan, a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in Nantou Village, Dongwan Town, Jingyuan County, the ribbon of the "Home of Glory" hanging in the hall came into view, which was not only a ribbon, but also the glory given to this family by the party and the state.
"Majestic, high-spirited, across the Yalu River, China's good sons and daughters are to protect their hometown ......"
This war song once stirred the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters. After more than 70 years, when the war song was sung again, Hei Weifan, a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, was still sonorous and powerful, with firm eyes, as if he had returned to the scene when he crossed the Yalu River with his comrades-in-arms to fight in North Korea. In April 1951, at the age of 15, Hei Weifan put on a military uniform, carried a gun, and became a glorious PLA soldier. In October 1952, he was assigned to the Medical Company of the 21st Regiment of Unit 313 of the Volunteer Army, and at the end of the year, he crossed the Yalu River with the Volunteer Army to participate in the war in North Korea.
When he entered the court, he came out of the station and had a lot of searchlights on the plane overhead, thinking that he was surrounded by enemies. To Motianling, the troops rested during the day, and began to march around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Motianling was very big, and I fell behind the team the night before, and lost the backpack and raw food and dry food on my back, so I carried a sanitary satchel and found it at 12 o'clock. The next night, he didn't dare to fall behind, so he struggled to walk all night, persevered until dawn, and walked like this for five days to reach the front line.
When talking to the old man of Hei Wei Domain, he carefully took out the documents and medals he had joined the army from the sealed bag, and told about those eventful years.
"I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, and it was not easy to persevere in the work I made and exchange my life for it. ”
Hei Weifan, who is 90 years old this year, is still physically strong. When it comes to the thrilling moments on the battlefield, Hei Weifan recounted his most impressive experience. As the old man reminisced with affection, time went back to the battlefield full of artillery fire. He told reporters that the 'Battle of Jincheng' in his memory was fought particularly fiercely and brutally, and although the combat mission was completed and many enemies were eliminated, our army suffered heavy casualties. The commander of the health company urgently led him and the fighters to form a "full-body bandaging group" to the position, bandaging and transferring the wounded. There were several shells that exploded around him, but the only thing he wanted to do was to treat the wounded, and he was constantly in the midst of intense rescue, and he didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights.
Speaking of that war, Americans had to fight every sparrow they saw, let alone see people. Later, our troops will be equipped at the end of 52, and new weapons, if you shoot one shot, I will return one shot.
On the Korean battlefield, encounters with enemy shells were a common occurrence. Hei Weifan said that on one occasion, when the health company was operating in the operating room in the tunnel, the enemy's shells blew up the mouth of the tunnel, and all of them were buried inside. As the air in the tunnel became thinner, everyone quickly found shovels and other tools and dug from the inside out, and later, after the shelling stopped, the artillery of the brother units also sent people to support and dig from the outside in. Only then did he escape...... Because Hei Weifan worked conscientiously and responsibly, was not afraid of sacrifice, and bravely rescued the wounded, after the battle, he was awarded the "third-class merit". In February 1958, Hei Weifan was honorably discharged from the army, only stayed at home for 3 months, and then set foot on the construction site of the "Diversion Project", and also strictly required his children to educate them to love the party and the country, abide by discipline and law, and build their hometown.
Time flies, although the smoke of gunpowder is gone, but the memory remains in my heart. Recalling those eventful years, Hei Weifan proudly said that 'being a good soldier' was the creed of his life. Now, when he talks to his younger generations about those moments of birth and death, the spirit of revolutionary optimism that he displayed in him who was not afraid of hardships and hardships and always maintained high morale has imperceptibly influenced future generations, constantly inspiring future generations to work hard, move forward courageously along the road of revolutionary ancestors, and take the "Long March Road" of our generation.
