All the mysteries will be revealed one by one in this article......
Growing up in a harsh environment and participating in the revolutionary struggle
In 1924, Li Yu'an was born in an ordinary peasant family in Taiqian County, Henan Province. In that era, the country was suffering from internal and external troubles, warlords were fighting, foreign enemies were invading, and the people were living upside down, with insufficient food and clothing. Li Yu'an has tasted the hardships and sufferings of the world since he was a child.
Although his parents were just ordinary farmers, they taught Li Yu'an the virtues of hardship, hard work and kindness. Since he was a child, Li Yu'an has been taught by his parents by words and deeds, sensible and down-to-earth, diligent and studious. However, with a poor family background and the clouds of war, Li Yu'an's childhood is not destined to be too dull.
In 1940, 16-year-old Li Yu'an was arrested as a strong man and forcibly escorted by the Japanese army to the northeast, where he was tortured and humiliated. Along the way, he witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese army, and the village was full of barren ashes, crying and misery. In the labor camps, he, like other compatriots, was exploited as cheap labour, beaten and humiliated for the slightest neglect.
Living in despair and misery, Li Yu'an never gave up on his hopes and dreams. He knew very well that only when the country was prosperous and strong could the people live a peaceful life. So, in 1946, Li Yu'an resolutely joined the Northeast People's Liberation Army and started a new journey of fighting for the independence of the motherland and the liberation of the people.
After joining the People's Liberation Army, Li Yu'an showed extraordinary courage and talent. He first participated in the Battle of Siping, and then bravely killed the enemy in the Battle of Western Liaoning, and was awarded twice for meritorious service. Later, he followed the large army to the south and bravely participated in the battle of crossing the river. During the War of Liberation alone, Li Yu'an made 10 great achievements, which can be described as heroic.
In 1949, after the victory of the People's Liberation War, Li Yu'an had a beautiful vision of starting a happy life again, and went west with his comrades-in-arms to conquer Guangxi and reclaim the territory. However, the peace and stability of the motherland did not last long, and the smoke of the Korean War was soon extinguished again. Chairman Mao issued a call to "resist US aggression and aid Korea, protect the family and defend the country", Li Yuan did not hesitate at all, he and his comrades-in-arms quickly went all the way north from Guangxi, crossed the Yalu River, and rushed to the Korean battlefield......
Plunged into the revolutionary wave and made great achievements
In 1946, after Li Yu'an joined the Northeast People's Liberation Army, he devoted himself to the revolutionary cause. He fought four draws in the first battle, and then bravely killed the enemy in the battle of western Liaoning, and made outstanding contributions to the war of liberation twice.
The Battle of Siping, which broke out in May 1948, was a key battle between the People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang army in Pingsui. In this battle, Li Yu'an's unit was brave and tenacious, fighting alone, and encountered dozens of street battles and blocking battles with the enemy. Li Yu'an took the lead, commanded in battle, bravely killed the enemy, and won victory after victory.
Shortly after the decisive victory in the Battle of Siping, the Battle of Liaoxi began. This was the final decisive battle of the Liberation War, and both sides could be said to have done their best. Li Yu'an is even more indomitable and shows his skills. In this battle, he personally led his men, cut off the enemy's lines of communication, blocked reinforcements, and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
After more than four months of arduous fighting, the Battle of Liaoxi ended in a complete victory for the People's Liberation Army. In these two key battles, Li Yu'an led the crowd to attack the city, bravely crowned the three armies, and once again made a first-class contribution.
The victories in the Battle of Siping and the Battle of Western Liaoning cleared the way for the complete liberation of the northeast region. Immediately afterwards, Li Yu'an followed the army south, crossed the Yangtze River, and participated in the famous battle of crossing the river. In this campaign, the PLA skillfully used tactics and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. Li Yu'an personally charged into battle, captured a large number of enemy weapons and ammunition, and won victory after victory.
In this way, during the Liberation War of only three years, Li Yuan successively participated in major battles such as the Battle of Siping, the Battle of Western Liaoning, and the Battle of Crossing the River, and made ten great contributions, which can be described as a great combat hero. He took the lead many times, was not afraid of danger, faced the enemy with cold weapons, stabbed countless enemies, won countless victories, and made immortal feats for the final achievement.
However, just as the civil war ended and the country fell into a brief period of peace, the smoke of the Korean War was rekindled. In 1950, a thrilling battle broke out on the Korean battlefield, and Li Yu'an was also ordered to join the baptism of this war. In this familiar northeastern battlefield, he will once again display his heroic skills and create immortal combat miracles......
Life and death on the battlefield in Korea
In October 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteers were ordered to go to the Korean battlefield, and Li Yu'an was among this heroic troops. At that time, the war situation in Korea was already very serious, the United States and its allied forces launched a full-scale attack on Korea, the Korean People's Army suffered heavy losses, and the capital Pyongyang had fallen.
In the face of this critical survival, the Chinese People's Volunteers resolutely chose to join the battle and contribute to the Korean people's resistance to foreign invaders. As a veteran, Li Yuan joined this just war to protect his family and defend the country.
On the battlefield in Korea, Li Yu'an held a steel gun and personally experienced the cruel war filled with gunpowder. The volunteers and the U.S. army engaged in hand-to-hand combat to the death, and the two sides fought to the death in a small area. The rain of bullets, swords and swords, every moment is a crisis of life and death.
In this war-torn land, Li Yu'an has shown extraordinary courage and resourcefulness again and again. He took the lead, responded to the situation, was brave and strategic, charged in the rain of bullets, avoided its sharpness, and annihilated the enemy one by one. Under his leadership, the Volunteer Army turned the tide of the war again and again, winning victory after victory.
However, in a fierce street battle, an ominous premonition gradually rose in Li Yuan's head. At that time, the enemy's reinforcements suddenly began to outflank from all directions, and the volunteers fell into a situation of being passively beaten. Faced with the enemy's heavy encirclement, Li Yu'an's life hung by a thread.
At this moment of crisis, Li Yu'an ordered his troops to retreat first, while he held his position alone, constantly shooting the incoming enemy. Surrounded by bullets and bullets, he kept shifting positions, using extraordinary courage and resourcefulness to support this unequal battle.
However, a grenade suddenly flew out of a house next to Li Yu'an, blowing up his gun and seriously injuring him. At this moment, the enemy swarmed up and captured him alive, who was seriously wounded. Later, he took inhumane revenge on his family, his wife and children were all killed, and Li Yu'an's family cut off the incense.
Imprisoned, his family was ruined, and Li Yu'an fell into the darkest moment. The enemy could not contain the joy of victory, and subjected him to a series of interrogations and tortures, hoping to extract more military information about the volunteers from his mouth. However, even under the threat of life and death, Li Yu'an still gritted his teeth and was unyielding, letting the enemy cry
Encounter a ruthless fate after the war
After the end of the Korean War, the bloodied Li Yu'an regained his freedom, but his future was not smooth. During the war, he was captured alive by the enemy and brutally tortured and interrogated. Although he survived with a stubborn will, his wife and children were brutally killed in the enemy's revenge, and the family of three was cut off from incense.
After the war, Li Yu'an was seriously wounded and returned to his homeland scarred. Because he was once captured alive by the enemy, and his family was no longer alive, he was recognized by the post-war organization as a martyr who died in battle. Thus, the story of a legendary hero came to an abrupt end, as if it had disappeared into the dust of history.
However, Li Yu'an did not die young. On the contrary, his experience of life and death on the Korean battlefield made him start a period of eventful life again. Although he had been concluded to be "killed in battle" in his homeland, the fate of his life hanging by a thread was known to some local North Koreans.
Just when Li Yu'an was heartbroken and about to die, a kind North Korean family rescued him and gave him hospice care. With the help of the locals, Li Yu'an not only survived, but also recovered from serious physical injuries. In this way, a hero who has been recognized as "martyrdom and sacrifice" was reborn and regained the hope of life.
Subsequently, with the help of local North Koreans, Li Yu'an changed his identity and returned to his motherland incognito. His heroic deeds were deeply buried, and his former exploits and honors were lost in the long river of history. After his home was razed to the ground and his wife and children were killed, the intrepid veteran was left homeless and had to start a new life in a new environment.
After being discharged from the army, Li Yu'an worked as an ordinary worker in a grain depot in obscurity, living a simple and simple life. He often remembers the war-torn years, but the ill-fated man has long since lost much luxury in life, and only hopes to live in peace. In this way, a hero who once slashed countless enemies and made great achievements gradually disappeared into the crowd of living beings in his post-war life.
It wasn't until 1990 that a sudden incident put this long-dormant old hero back onto the stage of history. When his son enlisted in the army, he inadvertently revealed his father's unknown war experience, which caused a national sensation for a while......
The heroes reappear in the world and are highly acclaimed
In 1990, a seemingly ordinary thing pushed Li Yu'an, an old hero who had experienced the baptism of war, back onto the stage of history. At that time, Li Yu'an's son enlisted in the army, and in the process of filling out the enlistment registration form, he inadvertently revealed his father's unknown heroic war experience.
Things have to start with Li Yuan'an's enlistment experience. At that time, in accordance with the requirements of the national enlistment policy, when his son filled in his father's information on the enlistment registration form, he mentioned that his father Li Yu'an was a veteran of the People's Liberation Army and participated in the Korean War. However, in the face of this statement, the staff in charge of reviewing it rejected it and gave a ridiculous reason: how could the late hero and martyr Li Yu'an still be alive?
So, Li Yu'an's son could only reluctantly return home and inform his father of the incident. After learning the reason for the rejection of his son's application for enlistment, Li Yu'an couldn't cry or laugh. Many years ago, he was captured on the battlefield in Korea, his wife and children were also brutally killed, and the motherland has already sentenced him to "die in battle". And now, this verdict has caused him unexpected trouble.
In desperation, Li Yu'an could only go into battle in person to find his old comrades-in-arms in the unit he was in to prove his identity. At that time, Li Yuan, who was already in his sixtieth year, went through a lot of hardships, traveled all the way from Guangxi to Beijing, and finally found his old comrades-in-arms in an old magazine. With the confirmation of his old comrades-in-arms, Li Yuan'an's identity as a war hero was thoroughly verified.
As soon as the news spread, the whole country immediately set off a shocking reaction. It is a jaw-dropping thing that a hero who has been deemed "dead" should survive and reappear in the world. The thrilling battle scenes on the Korean battlefield seem to be reproduced right in front of your eyes.
end
As a result, people began to explore the legendary experience contained in this hero. It turned out that as early as 40 years ago, during the Korean War, the brave and fearless Li Yu'an had made great achievements in the rain of bullets, and was even captured in a tragic street battle, and his family was also brutally retaliated against by the enemy.
After the war, the motherland thought that he had died and was given the highest honor. However, Li Yu'an was rescued by the locals when he was on the verge of death, and returned to the motherland incognito, living an ordinary life as an ordinary worker. It wasn't until 1990 that this long-dormant heroic legend was reawakened.
