On October 19, 1950, Mao Anying volunteered to join the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and arrived in North Korea with the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
However, it was just over a month. On November 25, 1950, on the second day of the Volunteer Army's second battle, four US bombers flew over the Volunteer Army headquarters, and Mao Anying died heroically.
Commander-in-chief Peng Dehuai was in grief, and was also full of guilt, not knowing how to tell Chairman Mao. It took him more than an hour to complete a telegram with a small number of words, and now the content of the telegram has been exposed.
On November 25, 1950, Mao Anying stayed at the commanding headquarters, and the US military dropped gasoline bombs and sacrificed
After the Korean War broke out, Mao Anying always wanted to go to the front line, but he was worried that General Peng Dehuai would not agree. So he first persuaded his father Chairman Mao, and then together with Chairman Mao persuaded Peng Dehuai.
Because Mao Anying studied in Soviet , later participated in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, and went to military school to study and obtained the rank of lieutenant, so he served as the Russian translator and confidential secretary of the headquarters in the Volunteer Army.
1950年11月25日，It was the second day of the second battle of the volunteer army entering the DPRK. At 11:00 noon, four U.S. bombers flew over the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, and the staff in the command's war room listened intently, and felt that the sound was getting farther and farther, so they thought that the enemy planes went to the north to bomb, and they didn't care too much.
Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi was very alert and rushed over from the bomb shelter . Under his command, everyone present began to pack up and prepare to be transferred into the dugout. Mao Anying and another staff officer packed up the telegrams and fell behind.
At this moment, the four bombers circled back from the north, and flew over the war room in a blink of an eye, and dropped hundreds of napalm . The entire headquarters disappeared into the sea of flames, and Mao Anying and another comrade naturally had no chance of surviving, so they sacrificed heroically. On the day of
25, Peng Dehuai was deeply grieved, and it took more than an hour to complete the top-secret telegram. Now the content is exposed.
Mao Anying sacrificed . , and finally began to report to the Central Military Commission by telegram . I don't know how many times he edited the
telegram, and I don't know how tangled and distressed he was. Peng Dehuai wrote the short telegram of for more than an hour. Now, this top-secret telegram has been widely noticed by everyone, and it is now collected in the central archives .
Peng Dehuai's top-secret telegram, now treasured in the Central Archives.
Telegram content: We entered the air raid shelter at 7 o'clock today, and Mao Anying was in the house with three staff officers. After the four of them returned to the house, four enemy planes suddenly came and dropped nearly 100 incendiary bombs, hitting the house. At that time, two staff officers ran out. Mao Anying and Gao Ruixin were burned to death before they could escape.
The recipient of the telegram from Zhongnanhai in Beijing was also very shocked. He didn't know what to do for a while. Instead of sending the telegram directly to Mao Zedong, he handed it over to Zhou Enlai first. Zhou Enlai took a look at the telegram and did not believe his eyes. He put down the telegram for a while before calling Liu Shaoqi and Zhu De. They wanted to discuss how to report to Mao Zedong.After careful consideration,
decided not to tell Mao Zedong for the time being.
On January 2, 1951, Mao Zedong learned the truth. After Peng Dehuai returned to China, he pleaded guilty. To Mao Zedong. At that time, Mao Zedong was working in the office of the Qinzheng Palace in Zhongnanhai when he received this extraordinary telegram. When he turned around, he was about to light a cigarette again. Originally, the matchbox was in front of him. He didn't know it, and was still looking for it in his pocket.
Chairman Mao held back his grief, tearful, but pretended to be strong, and said to Ye Long who had been standing by the side, "Oh, war , there will always be casualties, it doesn't matter!"
Zhou Enlai wrote in his cover letter to Mao Zedong: Comrade Mao Anying's sacrifice was glorious. Zhou Enlai suggested "After the victory, we should erect more tombstones in memory of the Chinese People's Volunteers in Dayudong and many other battlefields".
Not long after, Peng Dehuai returned to China to report to Mao Zedong, and detailed the process of Mao Anying's sacrifice. In the end, Peng Dehuai said to Mao Zedong with a heavy heart: "Chairman, you entrusted Anying to me, but I did not protect him well. I am responsible, and I ask for punishment!"
Mao Zedong pondered for a long time after listening to Peng Dehuai's words. Chairman Mao slowly raised his head to comfort the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, who was guilty of the crime, and emphasized: "Mao Anying is one of the thousands of revolutionary martyrs who have died, and is an ordinary soldier. Don't be the son of Mao Zedong. should not sacrifice for the common cause of the Chinese and North Korean peoples."
From the battle in the DPRK to the heroic sacrifice, Mao Anying, who was only 28 years old, died heroically in just 37 days. However, like thousands of volunteer soldiers who left their lives in North Korea, in this "peace and justice" In the war of 2009, Mao Anying was honored as one of the 2100 people who moved China since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
On September 25, 2019, Mao Anying was awarded the title of "The Most Beautiful Striver" "Personal title.
Today, we enjoy peace, tranquility and happiness in the wonderful environment that martyrs exchanged with their blood and lives. However, in this beauty and tranquility, we must also remember the struggle and sacrifice of martyrs. Over the past 70 years, We have never forgotten the soldiers and soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteers who wrote the heroic hymn of the mighty mountains and rivers, as well as all the people who contributed to the victory of this war.
The great War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, history will be remembered! Because, Our history is not only history , it also guides the reality and the future!
