In 1963, Zhai Wenqing, the head of the People's Liberation Army, was ordered to inspect Inner Mongolia. Because this inspection was secret, the local government was not notified. What he saw along the way was the prosperity of the country. Zhai Wenqing was deeply gratified. When he passed by a small village At that time, Zhai Wenqing and his party stopped and wanted to go into the village to inspect. This village is relatively remote and relatively backward in development. Basically, the local people have never seen a car, so when the car drove into the village , attracted many people to watch.
Some of the more clever villagers had already rushed to find the village chief to greet him. After the village chief arrived, he found out that it was the chief who came to inspect. He was very excited and hurriedly led the chief to inspect. As a group of people left, When I arrived at a stable, I caught the attention of the chief, because the horses inside were well raised and all looked strong. The chief was also a man who had fought on the battlefield and had a special affection for horses. I couldn't help but ask: "Who raised this horse?"
The village chief quickly stepped forward and replied: "This horse was raised by a homeless man named Yu Shuilin who fled to our village." When the chief heard After hearing this name, I asked excitedly about the origin of this person. It turned out that a few years ago, he was a disabled homeless man who wandered into the village. He only had one arm when he came. At that time, the village regarded him as pitiful. , so he was asked to work at the horse farm, which he has done for many years. After hearing this, the chief eagerly asked the village chief to take him to the horse breeder Yu Shuilin.
At that time, Yu Shuilin was feeding the horse. He saw many people coming from a distance and finally came to him. When he saw the leader of the crowd, Yu Shuilin was also excited. He didn't do anything. Thinking that he would still be able to see his old leader in his lifetime, Zhai Wenqing pulled him and said with tears in his eyes: I have been looking for you for 10 years. Later, the village chief found out that this homeless man who raised horses was actually a major contributor to the Korean War in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Everyone was surprised and even more curious about his experience.
Yu Shuilin was born in 1925. He was originally from Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. When he was born, it was a time of war. It was not easy to survive. He grew up under the flames of war since he was a child, and he is very familiar with war. Disgusted, he has witnessed too many life and death, and his belief in defending the country has been deeply ingrained in him when he was a child. However, he was too young at that time, and he had more than enough ambition but no strength, so he could only survive in troubled times.
finally grew up, but the Japanese invaders had been driven out of China. They thought they could finally settle down, but the Kuomintang became restless again and launched a civil war. The country was once again plunged into war. Yu Shuilin chose to join the People's Liberation Army People all know that the People's Liberation Army is a team that truly serves the people. Not long after he joined the army, he was pulled to the battlefield because of the intense war before he had even started training. Yu Shuilin looked at the artillery fire in the sky without any trace of emotion. Fearful, he rushed forward with his comrades.
In countless battles, Yu Shuilin showed bravery, and his luck was also very good. He escaped from death many times on the battlefield, and finally waited until the founding of New China. Looking at the devastated country, Yu Shuilin Thinking that the war was finally over, he was ready to remove his armor and return to work, and follow the country's arrangements to devote himself to construction. However, before he could retire, the Korean War broke out, and American planes even reached the border with China. , China also gave a warning, but the United States turned a blind eye.
How could China not understand the truth of lip-death and teeth-burning? If North Korea loses, then China will definitely fall into war again. For the future stability of China, the Party Central Committee decided to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. A large number of volunteer troops went to North Korea and devoted themselves to the fight to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. During the war, Yu Shuilin was one of them. He gave up the idea of going home and signed up to join the Volunteer Army. At that time, he was assigned to the 3rd Battalion and 8th Company of the 352nd Regiment of the 45th Army. The instructor was Zhai Wenqing.
After arriving in North Korea, I realized that this war was more tragic than the domestic war. Not only was the equipment inferior to that of the US military, but there was also a shortage of supplies. Especially in winter, there was not even clothing to keep out the cold. The soldiers were wearing The thin single clothes could not keep out the cold at all, and they had to lie in ambush in the snow. The soldiers were so weak that they froze before the enemy could wait, let alone food. Potatoes were as frozen as rocks. You can only hold it and chew it.
Even so, the Chinese soldiers did not flinch. Every time Yu Shuilin fought, he fought with an attitude of facing death. Yu Shuilin's missing arm was lost on the Korean battlefield. It had risked death. He blew up two enemy tanks and captured 8 American soldiers after his right arm was injured. He was awarded the "One-Armed Hero" of first class merit .
During the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, the United Nations forces led by the United States launched many attacks, but all ended in failure. Later, they also learned wisely and knew that they could not gain any advantages from head-to-head confrontation with our army, and the losses would be huge. After all, the soldiers of the United Nations Army cherish their lives very much and are timid in fighting. Their fourth large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign was launched when heavy snow enveloped the entire North Korea. At that time, our army was at its weakest. .
Our military leaders decided to resort to tricks, first luring the enemy deep, and then counterattack. At that time, Yu Shuilin was in charge of waiting for the enemy to penetrate deeply and cut off the enemy's support troops. Only after arriving at the blocking site did the team understand the difficulty of the task, because the enemy The supporting force is a fully mechanical force, with many armored vehicles , plus 2 tanks. However, our small army is not afraid and quietly ambush the enemy. The enemy cannot imagine that in that situation Our army still dares to ambush halfway. This is like a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind.
At that time, our army occupied high ground and had certain advantages in terrain. It was difficult for the enemy to attack. The biggest threat was the two tanks. After the battle started, the two tanks caused a lot of casualties to our army. If the tanks are not killed, the enemy will soon break through the defense line. At that time, Zhai Wenqing was already ready to blow up the tanks, but Yu Shuilin stopped him and asked him to stay and command while he went to blow up the tanks. The tank was blown up.
Yu Shuilin is indeed better than Zhai Wenqing. After all, he is also a veteran who has experienced many battles. When he received the grenade, Yu Shuilin was already ready to sacrifice because he wanted to blow up the tank. , he had to rush forward despite the hail of bullets from both sides, and throw grenades on the tracks of the tank at close range. Zhai Wenqing immediately ordered everyone to set up their guns and clear the way for Yu Shuilin. Yu Shuilin just like this little by little Climbing towards the enemy, with everyone's expectations, he blew up the enemy's first tank.
Next, Yu Shuilin stood up without hesitation and ran towards the second tank. At this time, he had no regard for life and death and rushed towards the enemy tank. Before the enemy could react, he threw the grenade. After getting on the tracks of the tank, he then raised his submachine gun and pointed it at the fleeing enemy troops. Our army also launched an attack. In the chaos of the battle, we successfully repelled the enemy. Yu Shuilin's arm was injured in this battle. He was wounded, but dragging his injured arm, he also captured 8 American soldiers.
Without the tanks to clear the way, the enemy was defeated. Yu Shuilin fainted due to excessive bleeding. When he woke up again, he was already in the hospital. Yu Shuilin was indispensable for the victory of this battle. It was only his The arm was too seriously injured, and the medical conditions at the time were limited. In the end, the only option was amputation. Looking at the empty sleeve, Yu Shuilin was heartbroken. In the end, he had to accept the reality that he had become a disabled person. He could no longer go to the battlefield and did not want to become a disabled person. He was a burden to the country, so after he recovered from his injuries, he quietly returned to his hometown and has not been heard from since.
Those teammates who fought bloody battles with him later tried to find his whereabouts, but could not find him. They all thought he had died. After all, the war at that time was too cruel, and countless heroes died on the battlefield. Shuilin had been in the army for many years. When he returned to his hometown, things had changed. He did not mention his past experiences. He could not find his family and could only wander around because he only had one arm and wanted to find someone. None of the work is easy.
Fortunately, he was taken in by this remote village, which not only gave him a job raising horses, but also allowed him to live in a stable, which gave him a place to stay. Occasionally, kind villagers would give him some food. Things, Yu Shuilin survived that difficult period. Looking at the stable with only a straw bed and an iron pot, Zhai Shuiqing blamed himself. If Yu Shuilin hadn't blown up the tank, all of them might have died. If you can't survive, you can't complete the mission of your superiors.
After learning the news about Yu Shuilin, Zhai Shuiqing immediately reported it and restored his identity. The government also takes great care of the disabled veterans. Yu Shuilin's hardships are finally over. Yu Shuilin stepped forward during the national crisis. However, after becoming disabled, he did not want to be a burden to the country and hid his fame. This is worthy of learning by the Chinese people, but it also made countless people heartbroken. Once again, we pay tribute to the old hero!
