93-year-old Li Yannian, winner of the Republic Medal , a veteran army member who has been dedicated his whole life and fulfilled his original aspiration and mission.
Compared with Yuan Longping and Tu Youyou, Li Yannian among the first eight "Republic Medal" winners is a slightly strange name, but in fact, this battle hero is not ordinary at all! On September 26, "Ideal Shines in China-Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China" show and broadcast activity " Meritorious Service " met the audience at Dragon TV . The first unit of the opening is "Li Yannian"!
Before seeing "Li Yannian", more viewers would be curious about the story behind this slightly unfamiliar hero. In October 1951, Li Yannian served as the instructor of the 7th Company of a battalion of the Volunteer Army. His battalion was ordered to counterattack the 346.6 highland that was lost. The "Li Yannian" unit at the beginning of "Merchants" focuses on this battle.
"The first two battalions suffered heavy casualties under heavy enemy fire. Our battalion was ordered to carry out a storming mission." Li Yannian once recalled to reporters that when his battalion was attacking, he found that the enemy would attack every 3 minutes or so. After mastering this rule, Li Yannian and his comrades used this gap to slowly touch them.After fierce battle, they finally took the high ground back. At this time, the company's machine guns could not be fired continuously, the walkie-talkie was also smashed, and the rear command post could not know their situation. At that time, Li Yannian's company only had more than 40 people left, and the situation in other companies was even worse. The entire battalion was seriously short of ammunition, so the troops went to the enemy’s front to collect weapons and ammunition abandoned by the enemy.
The enemy pressed against our army's positions round after round. After firing the ammunition, the officers and soldiers repelled wave after wave by picking up the weapons left by the enemy. After the bullets were lit up, a soldier took a blasting tube and died together with more than 20 enemies who rushed into the battlefield. Seeing the sacrifices of his comrades one by one, Li Yannian led the officers and soldiers to stand on their positions until they were ordered by their superiors to withdraw from the positions. As early as November 1952, Li Yannian was awarded the title of "First Class Hero" by the Volunteer Army Headquarters and recorded special merits once.
This tragic history has become an indelible memory of Li Yannian. How many comrades-in-arms who have been with each other day and night, their lives will always be fixed in their 20-year-old youth. "All honors are not given to me personally. They are praises from the state to all the martyrs. We must always remember these heroes who sacrificed for the new China." In order to carry on and educate the revolutionary spirit, Li Yannian gave all kinds of badges to the individual. Most of the donations were donated to museums and military history museums, and they often told young people fighting stories, passed on the fighting spirit, actively promoted patriotism, and carried forward the fine revolutionary traditions among young people.
