In 1981, dai Xiuliang, who was only 18 years old, first entered the barracks. At that time, he may not have known that his young life would be in just three years, from successively winning consecutive commendations, to being imprisoned for killing people by mistake, and finally entering the camp again to win the first merit of the battle and becoming a "first-class hero".
How did Dai Xiuliang, the company's rising star, fall into the detention center for labor reform, and how did he rewrite his fate twice with his own strength, and finally be recorded in the annals of honor of "self-defense and counterattack operations on the Sino-Vietnamese border"?
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > teenager joined the army, and the future is immeasurable</h1>
Fu Xiuliang was born in 1963 to an ordinary rural family in Zhenyuan County, Guizhou Province. Since he was a child, he has been a warm-hearted person, and the friends he grew up with have more or less been helped by him, and he wants to protect everyone. In this way, he slowly grew into a teenager until his peaceful life was broken.
In 1981, the county ushered in the recruitment propaganda of the troops, Fu Xiuliang heard about it, put down the cattle and did not care, hurriedly ran to the county seat, he could not say why, but felt a rush of hot blood in the chest cavity.
He didn't have time to think about it too much, he sped up his pace, he felt that life should fight for something, to struggle for something, that thing is called an ideal, in those days, that thing is called a "revolutionary ideal."
In this way, Fu Xiuliang, who was only 18 years old, was conscripted from his hometown and was assigned to serve in the 4th Battalion, 4th Battalion, 118th Regiment, 40th Division, 14th Army of the Kunming Military Region.
Before entering the army, Fu Xiuliang went to school for several years and had a certain cultural background; after arriving in the army, he did not forget his goal of entering the army, getting up first every day, sleeping last, and what the instructor said during the day He used the rest time to think about it repeatedly and seriously, which can be described as thirsty.
In such hard work day after day, he indeed became the best of the comrades who joined the army at the same time.
In addition to his basic military knowledge, he also used his spare time to ask his leaders for some advanced strategic skills, which he may not have known at the time, which laid the groundwork for his next two fortunes. In the spirit of diligent curiosity and assiduous study, his military technology once surpassed many comrades-in-arms who joined the army at the same time and became the one with the fastest progress.
His efforts and dedication were recognized by everyone, and he received four consecutive commendations and pre-team praise in less than a year after enlisting in the army. Lian Li attached great importance to this outstanding young man, and decided to make him one of the first batch of development targets to join the regiment, and was ready to send him to the division teaching team for special training, focusing on training.
All the light and future he wanted seemed to be ahead of him.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > young and vigorous, and ran into a catastrophe</h1>
For this young man, in a short period of time, so many honors and applause followed, and he, like all immature teenagers, began to "pamper and be proud". As the saying goes, there are no rules, no squares. But the two words "rules" have no weight in Fu Xiuliang's heart today.
At the beginning, it was just a moment of greed, and he went out without asking for leave, and the leaders also felt that he was still young after all, and they also wanted to continue to cultivate him, so they did not pursue his faults too much. But who knew that this was just the beginning of all the mistakes that followed, and Fu Xiuliang gradually became arrogant.
Comrades with low education humbly asked him for some knowledge and difficulties in military technology, but he arrogantly resigned after three or two sentences.
After learning this, his squad leader talked to him, and Dai Xiuliang couldn't listen to a word, not only that, but also "returned" those accusations to the squad leader. Later, it gradually developed to use controlled guns to hunt birds without permission.
These low-level mistakes occurred one after another, and the company commander, instructors, and other superior leaders kept talking to him and asking him to recognize his mistakes. Dai Xiuliang cherished talents with the leadership, and again and again bluntly confronted the superior leaders, and in the constant "expansion" and "complacency", he became more and more arrogant.
In the disciplined troops, these are absolutely intolerable in the barracks. Eventually, he headed for the "road of no return" he had dug. As a result, inevitably, his honor and applause no longer belonged to him, he was disqualified from joining the regiment and going to the training of the teaching team, and the key training things were also blown away.
Dai Xiuliang, who fell from a high place, was unable to accept such a huge gap for a while, and began to be depressed and depressed. However, all the mistakes he has made, fate will make him pay for them one by one. A bigger disaster awaited him.
In the venue of a military and civilian film evening, Dai Xiuliang, who gave up on himself, did not restrain himself at all, and still played with the control of military products without authorization, causing the gun to suddenly go off. It seems that at that moment, the great hand of fate began to turn the clouds and rain, and everything began to go in a completely opposite direction. The party was very lively, after all, it was a rare entertainment in the revolutionary era.
The soldiers of the army mingled with the masses, Fu Xiuliang drank some wine, and repeatedly played with the gun not far away, the scope, the trigger, the butt, the barrel...
Perhaps because of alcohol, or perhaps by fate, when he swapped his left and right hands, the gun went off. Comrades and the crowd watching the film in the distance heard the gunshots first a riot, the leaders present stopped shouting, but no one knew what was happening, just at this time, a cry from the crowd "Someone is dead!" ”
The riots spread once again... Fu Xiuliang was instantly sober, he knew that his gun had gone off, and there was a shout in the distance... He wasn't sure, he couldn't believe it...
Finally, after investigation, in this accident, Dai Xiuliang caused one death and two injuries to his comrades-in-arms and the masses. He was tried by a military tribunal and sentenced to one and a half years of labor reform in the detention center of the military district.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > is no more smooth, everything starts from scratch</h1>
Suddenly falling from the light into the real darkness, he could not regret it. The mood was almost broken, and after many days of crying and sobbing, there was a great deal of stagnation. Every day, Fu Xiuliang stared at the free sky that was close at hand and could not be sought in a daze, always doing things slowly, absent-minded and doing nothing. At night, he was sluggish and remorseful all night and could not sleep.
His will seemed to begin to die, he suddenly did not know where he was, the innocence of youth, the original intention of enlistment, the struggle to enlist, everything seemed far away from him and unreal.
Looking at the iron window in front of him, he was remorseful and self-abandoned. Where is his tomorrow, where is his future, and what about his passionate revolutionary ideals? He had no answer.
The personnel in charge of managing the detention center of the military region knew about Fu Xiuliang, and he had fallen from a promising future to a prisoner under the ranks of today, and he was also a small celebrity in the army.
Seeing his situation, he promptly reported it to the detention center superior, who came to check the situation, talked to him, and found that Fu Xiuliang could not hear what they were saying at all, and the detention center leader knew that the ringer must also be tied to the ringer, where this matter began, where must we start. He contacted the head of Battalion 2 and arranged a conversation for them.
After the conversation, watching such a young man who was once so good begin to indulge in grief, gradually moving towards the death of will. Everyone began to reach out, trying to pull him up from the darkness.
The former leader of the company branch was afraid of missing a good seedling, so he talked to Fu Xiuliang and encouraged him. The old father in the family did not know Fu Xiuliang's depression now, only that the trustee wrote a letter to care about this son who was outside.
Surrounded by sincerity and concern, Fu Xiuliang truly woke up at this moment. He turned the regret of the past into an infinite driving force, constantly reflected, actively reformed, and in the process of remodeling day after day, time also quietly passed, and Fu Xiuliang ushered in the release of his sentence.
The troops did not abandon Fu Xiuliang, and he returned to the 4th Company. With the encouragement and help of the company cadres and comrades-in-arms, Fu Xiuliang started from scratch. After more than a year in prison, he has drawn a clear line with his former self and faded his pride and arrogance.
He managed the vegetable patch in the company logistics, in charge of the food in the cooking class, and started from scratch. He rushed to the front of the dirtiest and most tiring work. So his efforts and efforts once again saw the rewards, and he once again won everyone's satisfaction.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > take the initiative to fight and make up for mistakes</h1>
The veterans' re-entry efforts began. Fu Xiuliang, who had completed three years of service, could have retired from the army and returned home, but he had not yet realized his ideals and had not yet completed the atonement for his mistakes, so he was reluctant to leave the army. Again and again, he expressed his determination to the party branch of the company, and constantly wrote letters to apply to stay in the army for an extended period of service.
After 15 attempts before and after. Finally, Fu Xiuliang stayed in the army as he wished, and his original heart of shining for the motherland could still be continued, and now, the opportunity came.
In mid-February 1984, according to the order of the Central Military Commission, the 40th Division of the 14th Army of the Kunming Military Region and its subordinate units secretly advanced to the border of Laoshan in Yunnan Province, preparing to launch a counterattack operation against the Vietnamese pull-out point.
Before leaving, Fu Xiuliang was worried that he would be left to guard the barracks and would not have access to the front line, so he bit his finger and wrote a blood letter, insisting on participating in the battle and killing the enemy, this time he did not want to let himself regret it anymore. He first submitted a letter of request to the party branch of the company, requesting to go into battle to kill the enemy, so that the party branch of the company could see his bold loyalty. So he was allowed to go to the border with the troops.
During the pre-war training period, Fu Xiuliang continued to be in charge of the second-line logistics in the cooking class, and how much he wanted to have a chance to prove himself, so he repeatedly asked the company leaders to go to the front-line ground platoon. All these efforts before and after made the company commander and instructor once again give him high hope, so he was transferred to the 2nd platoon and 4th squad, which was the company's ready to command the sharp knife squad facing the enemy on the front line.
Fu Xiuliang picked up the long-lost infantry weapon, and he couldn't help but think about how he had failed everyone's expectations before, and he thought of his initial efforts, which rekindled that pure heart. "This time, I will not disappoint anyone", this sentence he said in his heart to all those who care about him, but also to himself.
During the pre-war mobilization, Regiment Commander Liu Yongxin and Acting Political Commissar Huang Hong successively visited the soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield in each company.
When they arrived at the 4th Company, they specially called Fu Xiuliang to talk, and Huang Hong, the political commissar, looked at Fu Xiuliang and smiled: "They said that you have applied for 15 requests to go to war, and now you are going to fight, it is up to you." Fu Xiuliang was very excited, his emotions were high, and his body said, "Please rest assured chief!" Serve the motherland, go to the soup and the fire, and don't quit! ”
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > world war fame, dai sin meritorious service</h1>
At dawn on April 28, 1984, the LaoShan Reconquest operation began. After the 5th Company of the Sharp Knife Company, it was fu Xiuliang's 4th Company, and the group advanced all the way through the No. 21 and No. 52 highlands towards the main peak of laoshan Mountain.
The main peak of the old mountain is rugged and steep. The Vietnamese army concentrated its firepower on defense, and the special unit was responsible for blocking the forward passage to block the march. The artillery of the rear row of the Vietnamese army also continued to fire artillery fire at the main peak for support. The 5 companies in the front row marched bravely under such extremely unfavorable terrain and offensive, with countless casualties and casualties.
Deputy Company Commander Zhang Daquan led the sharp knife platoon to continuously launch a charge, repeatedly tug-of-war with the Vietnamese army, trying to break through again and again, and wanted to compete for a favorable position for the team.
In the fierce battle, Zhang Daquan's left wrist, left leg, and abdomen were injured one after another, and he simply treated the wound, the machine gun strap hung around his neck, and his left hand held the flowing intestines in pain, and he used his right arm to hold the machine gun to shoot, and continued to attack the enemy...
The 2 consecutive shocks of the 2 platoons that played the main attack did not work, and Fu Xiuliang's sharp knife 4 squad suffered most of the casualties, the squad leader was killed, and the deputy squad leader was injured. The casualties of the 3 platoons that played assists were not small, and the platoon leader Gao Ganglin was sacrificed.
After receiving the report, Commander Liu Yongxin ordered the 4th and 5th Companies to organize firepower, adjust their deployment, and cooperate to continue to attack the west and south sides of the main peak. During the battle, Fu Xiuliang was hit by a grenade thrown by the enemy, and fortunately, fate once again favored him, which turned out to be a dud.
Fu Xiuliang, who had rubbed shoulders with the god of death, saw the dead and wounded wounds of his close comrades-in-arms, recalled the ambitions of his comrades-in-arms before the battle, and then saw the difficult situation that could not be broken for a long time, And Fu Xiuliang's heart rose with anger and courage. Almost at the same time, he rushed up again with his submachine gun.
He relied on his early familiarity with the terrain of the map and the early days of his enlistment in the military to learn military skills. Winding upward along the grass and broken stumps along the patrol road, we finally approached the first trench of the Vietnamese army.
At this time, Vietnamese soldiers were throwing bombs down the hill in the trenches. Fu Xiuliang fired a point shot at the end of the gun, attracting the enemy's fire to counterattack, and thus, the once-stalemate situation ushered in a breakthrough point. After more than 5 hours of arduous fighting, the troops finally captured the main peak position of Laoshan Mountain.
On September 10 of the same year, five months after the end of the Laoshan Reconquest, there was a report on the second page of the Military Daily:
"Fu Xiuliang, a soldier of the Fourth Company of a certain unit of the Fourteenth Army who had committed serious mistakes, performed prominently in the battle of Laoshan, the first to break through the enemy's defense line, to break into the first trench, to annihilate three enemy soldiers, to capture a number of enemy submachine guns, a heavy machine gun, and to be awarded the first class merit"!
At this point, Fu Xiuliang became famous in one battle.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
In Fu Xiuliang's ups and downs of life, he went from hard work, to losing himself, and finally waking up, which is a zigzag road about returning to his original heart. His inner belief in defending the people was the only force that sustained him back on his way.
In the end, all sins are redeemed.
And the young Fu Xiuliang, he finally completed his expectations for himself, realized his inner desire to be loyal to the country, and transformed from a proud teenager into an iron-blooded man who bathed in blood and killed the enemy.
