On October 15, 1929, Dong Cunrui was born in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. He is the eldest son of his family. Dong Cunrui's birth has added a lot of fun to this poor peasant family.
Dong Cunrui
The young Dong Cunrui is very cute, with big eyes and very bright, and looks very clever. Everyone in the family loves him very much.
Dong Cunrui's father Dong Quanzhong and his mother Sun Zhen are both honest and honest farmers. They did not expect Dong Cunrui to achieve any great achievements. As parents, they only hope that their children can be healthy and safe and live a long life.
At this time, Dong Quanzhong and Sun Zhen did not expect that their son would die at the age of 19. What kind of story is there about Dong Cunrui?
Enlightenment Tutor
Dong Cunrui was very clever when he was a child, and he looked very smart. At that time, poor peasant families could not afford to study at all, and even buying a book was a luxury.

In this environment, because Dong Cunrui was particularly clever, his parents chose to let him go to school. But their family was too poor, and Dong Cunrui only studied for one year and gave up his studies.
The young Dong Cunrui was very sensible. He never complained about not studying. Instead, he took the initiative to do work for his parents at home.
Although Dong Cunrui no longer studies, he is also particularly studious in life and often inquire about and participates in some things happening in society.
In 1940, Nanshan Fort established an anti-Japanese team. Dong Cunrui has witnessed the darkness of people's lives since he was a child, and he hated such a difficult and oppressed life in his heart.
Dong Cunrui's parents
When the war of communism burned to Nanshan Fort, it also illuminated Dong Cunrui's life. He firmly chose to join the Children's League under the Anti-Japanese Organization. At that time, Dong Cunrui was just eleven years old.
After two years of training in the Children's League, 13-year-old Dong Cunrui was once elected as the leader of the Children's League. At this time, the Japanese army's invasion had already arrived at Dong Cunrui's hometown.
Wang Ping, the district party secretary at that time, was one of the main leaders of Dong Cunrui's hometown revolutionary organization. When the Japanese army received the information, they came to arrest Wang Ping. At this time, Dong Cunrui was reconnaissance outside and he found that the Japanese army was walking towards the village.
The witty Dong Cunrui felt something was wrong, so he hurried back to inform him. With his familiarity with the road, Dong Cunrui successfully led Wang Ping to escape the Japanese arrest. Because of this incident, the 13-year-old Dong Cunrui was called a little anti-Japanese hero.
After that, the district party secretary Wang Ping also forged a deep friendship with Dong Cunrui. Wang Ping likes Dong Cunrui very much. Every time he comes to Nanshan Fort, Wang Ping will bring back a lot of fresh things to Dong Cunrui.
Wang Ping also often lives at Dong Cunrui's home, explaining revolutionary stories to him, teaching him new things happening outside, increasing Dong Cunrui's knowledge, and cultivating his good values.
Wang Ping had a great influence on Dong Cunrui's growth. One day in 1942, Wang Ping was about to return home after the meeting in the county.
However, his whereabouts were betrayed by the traitor, so he was chased by the Japanese army. On the way to escape, Wang Ping was forced to a death sentence, and then he pulled the grenade and died with the enemy.
Dong Cunrui burst into tears after hearing this news and became even more angry at the atrocities of the Japanese. Under the influence of Wang Ping, Dong Cunrui resolutely joined the militia organization in 1942 and launched a real battle with the Japanese army.
In Dong Cunrui's heart, he also had an idea, which was to inherit Wang Ping's spirit. Wang Ping can be said to be Dong Cunrui's enlightenment mentor.
During the period in the militia organization, Dong Cunrui's parents were afraid that their son would have an accident, so they arranged a marriage for him in 1944, hoping that he could keep a descendant.
Dong Cunrui resisted such arranged marriages very much, but he could not refuse his parents' good intentions. In this case, he married a woman three years older than him. The girl is named Lu Changling, who is just nineteen years old.
Longhua Battle
Lu Changling has also heard of Dong Cunrui. Arranged marriages in the feudal era were basically full of tragedies. The person Lu Changling married was relatively much better.
She knew that her husband Dong Cunrui’s daily "work" was very dangerous. He always was tolerant and understood, and even kept his home in an orderly manner. All this also made Dong Cunrui very grateful.
Days passed day by day, and the flames of revolution became more and more prosperous. In 1945, Dong Cunrui had become an excellent militia and joined the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force. In July 1945, he became an excellent Eighth Route Army soldier.
After joining the Eighth Route Army, Dong Cunrui completely lived a life away from his hometown and fighting south and north. Dong Cunrui performed very well, and he often rushed forward in battle.
In early April 1946, Dong Cunrui's troops arrived at the area of Dushikou, an important town in Chabei.
In the encounter with the Kuomintang, Dong Cunrui bravely fought with the enemy. During the battle, he seized an advanced machine gun and was awarded a great achievement by his superiors.
In 1947, during the Chang'anling Blocking Battle, Dong Cunrui's troops were in heavy casualties. His superior squad leader was killed in battle and the deputy squad leader was seriously injured. At this time, the situation on the battlefield was very critical.
Dong Cunrui stepped forward and served as the squad leader, leading the remaining soldiers to continue to carry out sniper missions, complete them smoothly, and report them in time. In this operation, he was awarded another great contribution by his superiors.
In just over two years, Dong Cunrui won three great achievements and two minor achievements with his outstanding performance.
Not only that, he also won three brave medals and a "Chairman Mao Medal", which were preserved as treasures by him.
In March 1947, Dong Cunrui officially joined the Communist Party of China, and his ideals and beliefs became stronger. Dong Cunrui not only showed courage on the battlefield, but also was very rigorous and witty in life.
948, at this time, Dong Cunrui was already a squad leader of the Sixth Squad. During the army reorganization event, the squad he led was named Dong Cunrui's model training squad. In a practical exercise, because the weapons produced by China's military industry were still relatively backward at that time, a grenade emitted white smoke during the exercise.
In a critical moment, Dong Cunrui quickly walked forward, picked up the grenade and ran to the distance, throwing it directly into the open space where no one was. Due to his bravery and wit, he avoided a dangerous explosion and Dong Cunrui was awarded the honorable title of model blaster.
On May 1, 1948, the second battle in Longhua began. Due to the failure of the first battle, the People's Liberation Army did a lot of preparations this time.
On May 18, the People's Liberation Army basically surrounded Longhua. In the early morning of May 25, the then Northeast Field Army 11th Column launched a general attack on Longhua.
Dong Cunrui, the 6th squad leader of the 6th squad, 2nd Battalion, 96th Regiment, 32nd Division, 11th Column of the Northeast Field Army, also came to the battlefield. In the early morning of the 25th, the People's Liberation Army's offensive was very fierce, and the stronghold at the top of the Moss Mountain had been captured by the People's Liberation Army.
and Dong Cunrui also completed many combat missions outstandingly in this battle. At around 3:30 pm, Dong Cunrui's Sixth Company, where Dong Cunrui is located, launched a charge towards Longhua Middle School.
The charge was not smooth this time. The enemy had already prepared a heavy firearm and fired forward frantically in the castle.
The enemy's many castles were distributed very evenly, and fire blockade lines blocked the PLA's charge. Comrades fell one by one on the way to charge, which made Dong Cunrui very heartbroken. He knew that if these bunkers were not blown up, countless comrades would die in vain.
Then, Dong Cunrui asked the company commander for firepower assistance, and he wanted to lead his soldiers and blow up the enemy's bunker. The company commander agreed to his request, and Dong Cunrui took action immediately and led the soldiers to rush towards the castles one by one.
After Dong Cunrui found a suitable location, he detonated the explosives and the enemy's fire blockade line was immediately opened with a gap. The
castle was destroyed, and everyone was very happy. When the People's Liberation Army was preparing for a large-scale charge, it was suppressed by the firepower of the enemy's machine guns.
Dong Cunrui only discovered at this time that the enemy army had a secret bastion in use. Because the castle was built on the bridge, it was very hidden and was not noticed by Dong Cunrui at the first time. After the firepower of
exposed the location of the castle, Dong Cunrui asked the company commander again to blow up the last castle.
Family life
At this time, the company commander broke into trouble for no reason. The company commander said, "The location of that castle is too hidden and difficult to blow up. You have completed many blasting tasks. Let's try to knock out the castle, and then..."
Dong Cunrui steals and said, "If this castle is not blown up, we will have greater casualties. Company Commander, believe me."
felt Dong Cunrui's sincerity, and the company commander didn't know what to say for a while. Seeing this, Dong Cunrui took out the small paper bag in his pocket and said, "If I sacrifice, this will be my last party dues." After
said that, he buried his head and rushed forward and began to crawl forward. The company commander had no time to think about it, so he hurriedly arranged a special person to provide fire cover for Dong Cunrui.
Dong Cunrui was very smart. Because the enemy's firepower was too strong, he found a way to seize the enemy's gap and charge.
machine gun does not fire for infinite time. During the short period of weak firepower, Dong Cunrui buried his head in charge for a distance. After the machine gun firepower was fully opened, he hid in the ground and remained motionless.
several times, and his comrades even thought he had sacrificed. When he saw Dong Cunrui crawling forward again, everyone present was worried about him.
, just like that, Dong Cunrui gradually approached the bridge-shaped castle, and his thigh was also hit by stray bullet , and blood flowed out. Dong Cunrui endured the pain and used all his strength to climb under the bridge of the castle.
Dong Cunrui held the explosive bag and kept gasping under the bridge. He was looking around at the surrounding environment. As he looked at it, Dong Cunrui's heart suddenly felt cold.
Because Dong Cunrui discovered that there was no place for explosives to be placed around the bridge wall. Putting the explosives down on the ground, the destructive power of the explosion would probably not cause too much damage to the castle.
At this time, the company commander also vaguely saw Dong Cunrui's embarrassment. He gestured desperately, hoping that Dong Cunrui would withdraw and discuss it again.
Dong Cunrui also saw the company commander's greeting, but he did not respond. At this time, he suddenly thought of Wang Ping, the story of Wang Ping dying with the enemy with a grenade.
Dong Cunrui thought about it and smiled with relief. He knew what he should do. Dong Cunrui endured the pain in his legs, stood up, held the explosive pack with one hand, and ignited the explosive with the other.
White smoke rose, and Dong Cunrui was not afraid at all. He shouted, "For the sake of the new China, rush!" In Dong Cunrui's last long voice, a loud bang broke out, the castle turned into gravel, and Dong Cunrui was also submerged in the dust.

At this moment, it seemed that the world was quiet. All the comrades witnessed by them, the company commander clenched the small paper bag in his hand, and many people's eyes were red.
But as we all know, it is not the time to be sad, many soldiers also shouted Dong Cunrui's last words: "For the sake of the new China, rush!"
They wanted to take advantage of the situation opened by Dong Cunrui and charge in. The fastest time to liberate Longhua is the best comfort to Dong Cunrui.
26 at 3 a.m. on the 226th, after more than 21 hours of battle, Longhua was liberated, the People's Liberation Army won, the 11th Column captured Longhua City, and Dong Cunrui also died on May 25, 1948, at the age of 19.

Because of Dong Cunrui's story, his family was also well comforted. The state will regularly pay pensions to Dong Cunrui's parents. Dong Quanzhong was also invited by the state to participate in the condolences activities of the Korean War by the state, and was also received by Chairman Mao in person.
