On July 5, 1996, the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China promulgated the Measures for the Administration of Firearms, which explicitly prohibited Chinese citizens from illegally possessing firearms and ammunition. At that time, the whole country has launched a large-scale comprehensive collection operation against citizens who have privately possessed firearms, and for a time the number of gun fighting and brawls has plummeted, and it has to be said that it is very necessary for the state to strictly manage firearms.
Since then, firearms have disappeared from the public, except for special state personnel such as public security police and soldiers, ordinary people cannot hide firearms privately.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="95" > the old man in Shandong had a gun hidden in his home, and no one reported it and no one confiscated it</h1>
However, in shandong, there is a 96-year-old old man who blatantly has two pistols at home, and these two military Mauser pistols have been in the home for less than a day or two, and have been in the old man's home for more than 70 years, and have not been confiscated by the state. It is no secret that there are two pistols in the old man's home, and the strange thing is that none of the good people have reported the old man's gun possession to the local authorities. It is important to know that at that time, reporting illegal gun ownership is encouraged by the state and will be rewarded.
After the promulgation of the gun ban bill, various regions of the country began to carry out confiscation operations, and the staff of the relevant local departments visited the old man's home because of the problem of firearms, and the staff not only did not confiscate the old man's double gun, but instead greeted the old man with warm care. This inevitably makes people wonder about the identity of this old man in Shandong, who can be treated specially by the government, and this person must have a background that is not simple.
The name of this Shandong Hanzi who holds a military Mauser double gun is Teng Xiyuan, so who is he? What is special about him holding a double gun without being confiscated? This must begin with Teng Xiyuan's participation in the War of Resistance.

<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="96" > What is the identity of the shandong double-gun old man? </h1>
Teng Xiyuan was born in October 1925 in Beishanyang Village, Kouzi Town, Laiwu County, Shandong Province, and is a native of Shandong Province. Born in a chaotic world, his parents died very early, and there were 5 children in the family who lived a difficult life. In order to get stuttering food for his brothers, the older brother of the family got up early and went outside to work in the dark, even if several children tried hard, they still ate the last meal. Teng Xiyuan's eldest brother had no choice but to leave home to join the army, and every once in a while he would take leave to take food home to visit his brothers and tell them about his life in the army.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="97" > the world is out of chaos</h1>
Not long after, Teng Xiyuan's second brother also joined the revolution, and only Teng Xiyuan and his two younger brothers were left in the family. At that time, Teng Xiyuan was just 10 years old, and without his brother to take care of him, Teng Xiyuan took on the burden of taking care of his younger brother. In the war-torn era, the helpless life of the three children was extremely difficult, the elder brother could not often go home to visit, Teng Xiyuan and his brothers were once caught in the days of starvation, and the three brothers, who had no survival skills, had no choice but to go to the street to beg.
In that era, there were wars everywhere, and every family lived without surplus grain, and Teng Xiyuan and his brothers' begging life was not smooth, and they often could not get a bite of food a day. Not long after such a day, Teng Xiyuan's brother starved to death in the streets.
<H1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="98" > joined the army at the age of 13</h1>
After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in an all-round way, and the Japanese invaders brutally tortured and killed Chinese compatriots on China's soil. Soon after, Laiwu in Shandong Was invaded by the Japanese, and the Japanese army ruthlessly slaughtered Chinese in the streets, and a scene of cruelty came into Teng Xiyuan's mind. 12-year-old Teng Xiyuan was deeply hit by the brutal pictures of the Japanese army, and at this moment he seemed to grow up instantly. Teng Xiyuan decided not to live like this for the sake of living, he wanted to throw himself into the war, he wanted to fight for the motherland, he would fight for his compatriots.
In 1938, with the formation of the anti-Japanese united front, a number of anti-Japanese armed forces led by our party were formed in Shandong, and Teng Xiyuan's hometown Laiwu Laidong County Brigade was one of them. At the age of 13, Teng Xiyuan decided to join the Laidong County Armed Brigade led by the party. But at that time, Teng Xiyuan was only 13 years old, and the superior leaders of the Laidong County Brigade discussed that he was too young, and finally did not agree to Teng Xiyuan's application to join the army. But Teng Xiyuan repeatedly expressed his determination to join the army:
"I want to do the revolution, my brothers have joined the army, my father and mother are gone, I have no worries myself, watching the Japanese kill us Chinese, I am a man, there is nothing more worth doing than joining the army, please organize to accept me!" 」
Political Commissar Liu Zi looked at this determined teenager, looked at Teng Xiyuan's fiery eyes, and finally decided to agree to his application to join the army. In this way, Teng Xiyuan joined the Laidong County Armed Brigade. Coincidentally, his brother Teng Xiping happened to be serving as the director of the Laidong County Brigade at this time, and when he saw his brother Teng Xiyuan, he was so excited that he could not speak, and he had not seen him cry bitterly in several years.
Teng Xiyuan was black and thin, not very old, and everyone in the army called him "TengHezi", but he was such an inconspicuous teenager who became famous in a subsequent Japanese sweep.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="99" > 15-year-old is not afraid to single out the devil</h1>
In 1940, the Japanese and puppets in North China carried out a frenzied sweeping operation against the base areas of the Eighth Route Army in the Shandong region. One day, a Japanese puppet army rushed to the village of Beishanyang, just in time for Teng Xiyuan to carry out a mission here. There were traitors in the Japanese and puppet troops leading the way, as soon as they entered the village, Teng Xiyuan's two comrades-in-arms were captured by the Japanese puppets, at this time the situation was urgent, the enemy was coming straight, and he was about to be surrounded, but Teng Xiyuan showed great composure, because this was the place where he had lived for many years, the terrain was very familiar to him, and he could go out with his eyes closed. Without waiting for the Japanese to enter the gate, Teng Xiyuan bypassed the enemy and ran out from the backyard over the wall.
On the way to retreat, he encountered two county brigade fighters who were also retreating, and the three of them carefully scouted all the way to find a way to retreat. But at this time, the Japanese army blocked the way out of the village, helpless for safety, Teng Xiyuan and the three people could only hide in the village first, waiting for the Japanese army to leave. They hid in a farm yard, and Teng Xiyuan climbed onto the pigsty to spy on the surrounding enemy situation. Unexpectedly, a single Japanese ghost was discovered by Teng Xiyuan, who had a look in his eyes and two comrades-in-arms understood. Teng Xiyuan held his breath, took out the dagger he carried with him, and prepared for the momentum, when the devils approached, Teng Xiyuan suddenly threw himself from the wall of the pigsty, threw the devils to the ground, snatched the devil's gun, pressed it to the ground, covered the devil's mouth, Teng Xiyuan stabbed a dagger directly into the devil's heart, and died on the spot.
When the Japanese left, Teng Xiyuan and the three finally left the village and returned to the team. After this incident, Teng Xiyuan was impressed by the big guys, although he only killed a ghost, but he was just 15 years old at the time, still a teenager, in that situation, not only did not flinch, but decisively and bravely faced, it was not easy for the little grade to have this courage. This was only the beginning of Teng Xiyuan's anti-war career.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" data-track="100" > 15-year-old battlefield wisdom and courage, won the first class merit to obtain the first pistol</h1>
In the summer of the same year, the Japanese army concentrated its firepower and launched another frenzied sweep of the anti-Japanese base area in Luzhong. The Japanese army fought a fierce battle with the soldiers of our Eighth Route Army in the Yangjiaheng area, and the county brigade where Teng Xiyuan belonged was also in this battle.
The battle began to be white-hot, and the Japanese and the Hypocrites occupied an absolute superiority in personnel and weapons and equipment, but due to the stubborn fighting spirit and deadly resistance of our army, the Japanese and the Pseudos did not have an absolute chance of victory in this battle. The battle was very intense, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.
Teng Xiyuan ambushed on the position, and saw the Japanese flag bearers who raised the battle flag in the distance, as the saying goes, to capture the enemy first, and to stir up the enemy's position first when fighting, so that the enemy's square inches were in chaos, and the staff won half of the victory. Thinking of this, Teng Xiyuan picked up the gun in his hand and aimed at the Japanese standard-bearer to successfully kill the person with a shot, and the ghosts who charged up for a while were confused by the sudden gunfire, but after a while, they launched a new wave of attack.
Teng Xiyuan did not have the slightest fear, facing the oncoming enemy, he took a gun in his hand to aim at one shot after another, but the enemy could not rush forward and back, and soon Teng Xiyuan's bullets ran out, and he could only get close to the hand-to-hand combat. Even so, only 15 years old, he did not show a little timidity, he raised his bayonet and fought with the devils in close combat, white knives went in and red knives came out, blood splashed, the scene was tragic, it is impossible to imagine this is a scene experienced by a 15-year-old teenager.
After a scuffle, Teng Xiyuan was physically weak, one could not dodge, a bayonet stabbed into his armpit, and suddenly the blood gushed out and invaded his clothes, he thought that he would fall to the ground, but he did not think that Teng Xiyuan had pulled the bayonet out of his armpit. Shunshi threw the bayonet at the devil's neck, and the devil fell to the ground in response.
In this fierce battle, Teng Xiyuan injured countless ghosts alone at a young age, killing 6 ghosts on the spot. After the victory of this deadly battle, the superior leaders awarded Teng Xiyuan first-class merit, and Liao Rongbiao, the commander of the fourth detachment of the Shandong Column at the time, heard that there was a 15-year-old young hero in the team, and Liao Rongbiao personally received Teng Xiyuan and praised:
"You kid is really good at beating devils!"
In addition to praising in person, Liao Rongbiao also rewarded Teng Xiyuan with a Mauser pistol, commonly known as a shell gun. This is the origin of Teng Xiyuan's possession of one of the two pistols. He loved this gun, and then Teng Xiyuan was on the battlefield, carrying this Mauser pistol with him, and also used this gun to kill countless enemies on the battlefield, and was a famous anti-Japanese hero in the Shandong region.
Shortly after the comprehensive victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, in 1947, the Kuomintang launched a key offensive against northern Shaanxi and Shandong. The central government moved from Yan'an to northern Shaanxi, su Yu commanded the victory of the Battle of MengLianggu, and the key attack of the Nationalist army was defeated.

<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="101" > 22-year-old cleverly used the empty city to confuse the enemy and make a battle achievement, and got his second pistol</h1>
In July 1947, in order to contain the enemy, Su Yu led his troops to encircle the 11th Reorganized Division of the Nationalist Army entrenched in the Nanma area. At this time, Teng Xiyuan experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan, was already a mature veteran, and became the commander of the artillery company of the army with his achievements, and at the same time participated in this battle.
The enemy seems to have understood our intentions and has taken a direct attack on the encirclement circle against our army. In order to maximize the artillery fire, Teng Xiyuan sent his subordinate scouts to set up vigilance near the front line to detect the enemy's situation and facilitate accurate artillery strikes.
On this evening, Teng Xiyuan came to a patrol at the foot of the hillside, and accidentally found that there were many suspicious figures under the slope not far away, and a closer look found that nearly 200 well-equipped Nationalist soldiers were advancing towards this side. But at this time, the main force of our army was still nearly half an hour away from here, and it was too late to snipe this national army team, but the time was not waiting, Teng Xiyuan thought that it was a pity that such a good opportunity was missed, but he did not give up, at the moment, except for himself, there was only one warrior around him, and the weapon could not keep up, except for the only 3 grenades, there was only a rifle and a pistol he carried with him. Now, with the conditions of the two of them, if they want to drag down the enemy's well-equipped personnel and horses, there is basically no chance of victory.
Teng Xi looked at the approaching national army team, the brain was running at a high speed, at this time it was definitely impossible to be hard, the enemy could only outwit, from childhood to listen to people tell the story of the Three Kingdoms, at this time woke up Teng Xiyuan, he thought of Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, he decided to give the national army an empty city plan.
After a while, the nationalist team came to the ravine, at which time Teng Xiyuan threw a grenade into the ravine and shouted loudly to the enemy in the ravine:
"Everyone downhill has heard clearly, you are now surrounded by us, you had better lay down your weapons, don't do useless struggles, it will only cause your casualties, now give you time, speed and do not kill!"
At this time, night fell, everywhere was pitch black, the enemy could not see the situation on the surrounding hillside at all, and did not know how many ambushes there were around, listening to Teng Xiyuan's words, the enemy believed that it was true, thinking that it had been ambushed by our army, so for a while did not dare to act rashly, stopped in place and waited for a long time, so long in addition to Teng Xiyuan's threat, did not find the ambush of our army around, the national army seemed to perceive the abnormality, immediately to withdraw, but it was not too late, at this time the main force of our army has arrived. Launch a direct attack on the enemy and engage in fierce battles with the enemy in the ravine.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="102" > general Su Yu, who won the first class, personally gave him a gun</h1>
Teng Xiyuan's empty city plan successfully pinned down the enemy, causing the enemy to miss the opportunity to retreat, and under the fierce offensive of our army, the nationalist army, which was already scattered in the army, was successfully encircled and suppressed by our army. Teng Xiyuan's resourceful response once again earned him a commendation, and his superiors awarded him first-class merit.
At the post-war celebration meeting, General Su Yu, eager to meet this witty warrior, came to Teng Xiyuan, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him with a smile:
"Nice lad! There is courage and strategy in the face of danger, good look! ”
General Su Yu could not help but call him a "lone hero" in front of all the soldiers, and gave him a pistol with a gun box as a reward, and personally wore this gun for Teng Xiyuan. General Su Yu wore him a brand new Mauser pistol, a scarce thing captured from the enemy. This is the origin of the second pistol in Teng Xiyuan's family.
Teng Xiyuan followed the troops to participate in countless battles of various kinds, including the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Crossing the River, and so on. After the founding of New China, Teng Xiyuan, who could have retired from the army and returned to his hometown, joined the ranks of the Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea at all costs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="103" > 25 years old to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to defend their homeland</h1>
In October 1950, he defended his homeland and defended the country by resisting the United States and aiding Korea, and in December Teng Xiyuan crossed the Yalu River with the volunteer army. As soon as the troops entered Korea, fierce battles broke out with the US troops; the EQUIPMENT of the US troops on the Korean battlefield was notoriously sophisticated; there were US fighter jets in the air, and the US soldiers on the ground were rushing by car, while our volunteers were much more arduous, far inferior to the US troops in terms of equipment, and some were more tenacious willpower.
After Teng Xiyuan entered Korea, he was more often on the road, and there were fallen soldiers along the way, many times not to the battlefield facing the US army, but to the harsh local climate, the cold winter, the supply of fighters was not enough, the US army blocked the route of the rear supply of our volunteer army, resulting in a serious shortage of materials for our army, the soldiers in addition to facing the cold of more than minus 30 degrees, but also endure hunger, Teng Xiyuan gritted his teeth and persevered.
Under the stubborn resistance of our volunteer army, after the end of the Fifth Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the war situation entered a state of equal strength and began to talk with the US army while fighting.
In March 1953, 4 months before the signing of the armistice agreement, the enemy army did not give up the opportunity to overturn, the enemy launched an attack on the Mapingli area located near the 38th Line, the enemy was unstoppable, our volunteer army immediately formulated a set of interspersed combat plans, but in the battle, the enemy tanks blocked the only route of our volunteer army's attack, and whether it could pass through this area became the key to our volunteer army's plan.
Our volunteers marched lightly in this operation, without heavy weapons, and only explosive packs could cause lethality, but they could not be thrown and could not deal with American tanks. The only way to do this is to rush to the tank with the explosive package in hand, fix the explosive package on the tank, and ensure that the explosive package explodes on the tank 100%, so that the soldier on the mission will face great danger and will most likely never return.
Who's going to carry out this daunting task? This was undoubtedly a death sentence, and at this moment, Teng Xiyuan stood up and did not hesitate to choose to carry out this task by himself. Teng Xiyuan already had his own plan, and in addition to his determination to die, he also had a clever plan.
Through observation, Teng Xiyuan found a small ditch on the ground on the side of the road where the US tank was located, Teng Xiyuan planned to use this ditch to cover himself to evade the enemy's sight, at this time the sky was dark, Teng Xiyuan picked up the explosive package, secretly touched into the side ditch of the US tank, but when he went to the ditch to see the tank, he found that there was a turret on the tank, and the people inside could see the ditch with a telescope, at this time he was ambushed in the ditch, the mood was complicated, and he thought that this time it was very likely that he would not be able to go back. Thinking of this, Teng Xiyuan also felt that there was nothing to be afraid of, it was a big deal to die with the enemy, and he was also worth it. Teng Xiyuan picked up the explosive package and jumped out of the ditch, perhaps the enemy did not expect that our army would choose to send someone to install the explosive package, the enemy did not notice at all, Teng Xiyuan rushed to the tank and successfully hung the explosive package on the tank, a few seconds later, only to hear a loud noise, the US tank was destroyed.
Seeing that our volunteer army took the opportunity to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop, then Teng Xiyuan, after pressing the explosive package, quickly ran away, and withdrew from a safe distance before the explosion, only slightly injured. At this point, Teng Xiyuan drew a perfect rest for his military life. He became a famous demolition hero of the All-Volunteer Army, and at this time, at the age of 28, he faded the childishness of his new enlistment and became a qualified soldier.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="104" > demobilized at the age of 28</h1>
In 1953, Teng Xiyuan was demobilized and returned to his hometown of Laiwu, he continued to shine in society after taking off his military uniform, Teng Xiyuan joined the army at the age of 13, retired from the army at the age of 28, experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan, walked through the War of Liberation, rushed to the Korean battlefield, dedicated the most bloody years of his life to the motherland, and played his role to the maximum on the battlefield. In his short 15-year war career, Teng Xiyuan was seriously injured and died five times, and won 2 first-class merits and 3 third-class merits.
Retired Teng Xiyuan fell in love with reading and writing, from childhood family poor did not have the opportunity to read, now that life is better, he wants to learn some knowledge, as the saying goes, live to learn old, when it is not too late to learn. Keeping up with the pace of the times can not be left behind, this is Teng Xiyuan's idea.
From his retirement to his retirement, Teng Xiyuan rarely talked about his previous military career, let alone the achievements he had made. When he was idle, Teng Xiyuan often stroked the pistol given to him by the leaders, and a large number of wartime memories came to mind. The neighbors around them also knew that Teng Xiyuan had two pistols, although everyone did not know the origin of his two pistols, but just because Teng Xiyuan had fought ghosts and rushed to the Korean battlefield as a soldier, everyone had never doubted Teng Xiyuan's intention to hide the gun.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="105" > two guns in hand why the state has not confiscated it for decades, is it because of his status as a hero of the war of resistance special treatment!? </h1>
But even so, after the state promulgated the "Gun Management Measures" in 1996, should Teng Xiyuan also hand over his guns according to the regulations? But the government knew that Teng Xiyuan was in possession of two guns, but did not confiscate Teng Xiyuan's double guns, was it because he was a veteran and made other plans for him?
In fact, in 1982, the 6206 unit of the People's Liberation Army specially granted Teng Xiyuan a gun license and gun holding instructions, in other words, Teng Xiyuan's family was legally armed with a gun, although he was a retired hero of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he did not use his special status to do things that did not conform to national laws and regulations.
For Teng Xiyuan, these two pistols are not two cold weapons, but souvenirs that carry his memories.
Hats off to the old heroes!
