The recently filmed "Lake Chosin" recreates a decisive battle in the Second Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. 71 years ago, countless sons and daughters of China went to the battlefield to fight for the country, they exchanged sacrifice and dedication for the mountains and rivers, in fact, heroes are not out of reach, they are all around us. Chen Qingfeng, an elderly man who lives in Longkang Town, Huaiyuan County, is 95 years old this year, and he is a veteran soldier of the Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
On October 30 this year, the reporter came to the home of Chen Qingfeng's old man, the old man was full of red light, healthy, usually loved to raise flowers and vegetables, and lived a quiet and comfortable life. Such a seemingly ordinary old man has an extraordinary experience.
Chen Qingfeng, a veteran soldier of the Volunteer Army, said that in the winter of 1952, he was an anti-aircraft artillery soldier, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and belonged to the three companies of the Sixty-first Division of the Twenty-first Army. At that time, the three or seven guns were to hit airplanes, parachutes, paratroopers, cavalry, infantry, and blockade the hill.
Following the memories of the old man, we seem to have returned to the beacon years. Elder Chen Qingfeng was once a soldier in the anti-aircraft artillery unit, and after receiving the order, they rushed to the icy battlefield to fight. Faced with well-equipped opponents, they have undergone unprecedented tests.
Chen Qingfeng, a veteran soldier of the Volunteer Army, said that the US military has anti-aircraft artillery, and the US military also has 8537 anti-aircraft machine guns.
At the beginning of the war, the enemy army had absolute air supremacy, and the volunteers' every move was often passive.
Wei Qing, member of the Propaganda Committee of the CPC Committee of Longkang Town, Huaiyuan County, said: During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the US military used a military equipment in order to better investigate the situation on our side and let the flares stay in the air for a longer period of time.
Chen Qingfeng said that the flares are more than 200 kilograms, heavier than people, and the lighting time can reach more than an hour.
Elder Chen Qingfeng could not remember how many times he and his comrades had fired the flares used by the US military for night battles. The parachute that the old man treasured was his trophy of the year.
The real battlefield is far more shocking than what the old man told. After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the elderly Chen Qingfeng returned to his hometown with his booty and a parachute and began a new life.
The parachute is beige and has a diameter of 5 meters.
Chen Qingfeng said that this is an American parachute, very strong, and fireproof. The parachute was once converted into a mosquito net by him and used for a while.
This parachute has been sewn up several times, and the old man has always treasured it.
Wei Qing, a member of the Propaganda Committee of the CPC Huaiyuan County's Longkang Town Party Committee, said that a kind of memory imprint in the war years at that time has been deeply integrated with the old Chen
The old man said that in the future, he plans to donate this parachute to the relevant departments of Huaiyuan County, so that future generations can better understand the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and understand that the volunteer soldiers exchanged their lives for the mountains and rivers.
Wei Qing, a member of the Propaganda Committee of the Cpc Committee of Longkang Town, Huaiyuan County, said that in the next step, they will combine the construction of the military cultural park, and with the consent of Lao Chen, the government will help the memorial hall to further preserve, so that this revolutionary cultural relic can better exist and be better passed on.
