The truth about Chairman Mao Anying's son, Mao Anying, was finally solved after seventy years. There were three murderers in total. They all held great power and held high positions. Although they fled in a hurry after the incident was exposed, they ended up in a sad end. One had no bones, the other was poor, and the other starved to death on the street. So who are these three people? How did they carry out murder?
After the outbreak of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Mao Anying took the initiative to find General Peng and asked to join the Volunteer Army team to fight on the front line. At that time, his newlywed wife Liu Siqi was seriously ill and was hospitalized and needed his company very much, but this did not change his idea of defending his country. General Peng was moved by Mao Anying's sincere patriotism and finally approved him to join the Volunteer Army.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mao Anying changed his name after entering the army. Only a few senior leaders knew his true identity. In the army, Mao Anying worked diligently and often made some constructive suggestions on the war, which won praise from everyone many times. It can be said that if it weren't for that air strike, Mao Anying would have been a promising warrior.
25 On this day, Mao Anying was sorting out information in the command room as usual. Suddenly, a roar of planes came from a distance. He immediately realized that it was the US military coming to bomb! He immediately picked up all the information he had in hand and loudly called on the other three staff members to go to the air raid shelter to hide.
Soon, three enemy planes whizzed past the command post, but surprisingly, they did not drop bombs. Everyone realized that the enemy might not have discovered the command post here. After seeing the enemy planes walking away, Mao Anying was worried about the important information in the command post, so he returned to the command room again to transfer the documents. However, at this moment, the enemy plane that had already disappeared suddenly appeared again and dropped a large number of incendiary bombs at the command post. The explosion instantly turned the entire command post into a sea of fire, and Mao Anying died heroically on the spot.
it turned out that the reason why the three enemy planes did not drop bombs when they first appeared was to lead our army out.
These three enemy aircraft were originally going to perform missions elsewhere. When passing by near Dayu Cave, they accidentally discovered a weak radio wave signal. The enemy plane led by the army believed that our army's command post must be nearby, so he revised the plan on the spot and prepared to bomb Dayu Cave.
How strong our army's air raid shelters are, enemy planes have seen it. Therefore, he judged that direct bombing may not necessarily hit many people. The treacherous enemy captain decided to fly over the Dayu Cave first, giving us the illusion that we were not discovered by enemy aircraft. After our army walked out of the air raid shelter, we would implement the bombing plan. After the command post of
was bombed, General Peng, in the air raid shelter, quickly received the news. After learning that someone did not run out, he immediately realized that it was very likely that An Ying, who was working inside, did not come out. He rushed to the command post like crazy, desperately searching for An Ying, but in the end, he only found two burnt bodies.
President Peng's eyes were filled with tears and was heartbroken. The soldiers also faced the command post and silently took off their military caps. With the help of Comrade Engineers, a simple new tomb soon appeared on the back mountain of Dayu Cave. From then on, Mao Anying could never return home.
Such a big thing happened, you must report to Military Commission . But the Chairman of the Military Commission is Mao Anying’s father, Chairman Mao. President Peng thought about this report for several hours but couldn’t write it. He brought this child in person, but now he is gone. How should he report to Chairman Mao?
Late at night on November 25, 1950, an urgent telegram from the Korean battlefield was transmitted to Premier Zhou. The telegram said that the Volunteer Army Command was bombed by enemy planes today, and Mao Anying and another staff officer died on the spot.
Premier Zhou was stunned when he saw the above content. This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Premier Zhou unable to come back for a long time. He didn't know how to report this to Chairman Mao.Chairman Mao is now sick, so how could he bear such a big blow? After thinking for a long time, he decided to wait slowly and report to Chairman Mao after a while.
, this is just over a month. It was not until the third battle ended and Chairman Mao's cold improved that Premier Zhou handed the telegram.
According to the guard's recollection, when Chairman Mao saw the telegram, he was stunned. He picked up the matchbox on his hand and put it down, and then kept fumbled in his pocket, wanting to find a cigarette. The smoke was in front of him, but he could not see it. He repeated this absent-minded move back and forth many times. The guards also saw that Chairman Mao's eyes were full of tears, but he tried to resist letting others cry. Although he tried hard to restrain his emotions, everyone understood that there were more tears in his heart than everyone else.
But even though he was so sad, Chairman Mao did not forget to comfort the people around him. He said softly, "When war is always going to kill people. Who made him my son?"
Although Chairman Mao never asked, we have never given up pursuing the murderer for many years. After countless people's efforts, after Mao Anying's death seventy years ago, the identities of the three pilots who dropped the incendiary bombs finally surfaced.
According to data, the three pilots were Ripawsky, Odendal and Rickett. All three of them belong to South African mercenaries. During the Korean War, they were flying planes to bomb Dayu Cave, which eventually led to Mao Anying's heroic sacrifice.
After the war, these people returned to South Africa. Among them, Ripavsky relied on his white man and often insulted and provoked blacks in the black movement, and even had physical conflicts with blacks. This excessive behavior eventually brought him retribution. The company not only fired him, but also revoked his flight license . Ripavsky, who had lost his source of income, soon became penniless and could only make a living by picking up garbage. But at this time, the pain he left in the war frequently occurred. He could not afford the high medical expenses and could only take psychiatric drugs to relieve the pain. Later, he couldn't afford even psychotropic drugs and eventually died quietly next to a trash can.
Rickt's experience is also roughly the same. When he returned to South Africa, he originally opened a company in partnership with others and lived a free and easy life. Unexpectedly, the economic crisis broke out and investors took away all their money. Rickett became a pauper overnight. In order to survive, he could only be a homeless man, wandering on the streets all day long, and survive by picking up garbage. Later, Rickett, like most homeless people, walked to the end of his life somewhere on the street.
As for Odendal, the outcome is even more regrettable. The plane he was flying hit the sea, and the corpse was gone.
The fate of these three people is exactly in line with the old saying in China that "good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil."
On the occasion of the 470th anniversary of the Resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, CCTV specially created a documentary called "Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aiding Korea to Defend the Country". In the documentary, CCTV released the top secret telegram written by General Peng for the first time. From the documentary, we can see that this telegram that President Peng had written for several hours was only a few dozen words. The above briefly describes the bombing of the command post at that time and reports the death of Mao Anying and the staff officer Gao Ruixin . After decades, we can still feel an indescribable heaviness from these words. Through this old telegram, we seem to feel the grief of Chairman Mao when he saw this telegram. In addition to telegrams, more and more details are gradually being discovered by the world, and these things have allowed people to see a father who is unwilling to show his presence.
In the more than 20 years after Mao Anying's death, Chairman Mao did not mention this matter too much. At that time, people thought that the unforgettable pain of losing his son might have gradually faded with the passage of time. But it was not until after Chairman Mao’s death that people discovered that there was a small box hidden in the deepest part of his wardrobe, and the boxes contained all the clothes and socks that Mao Anying wore during his lifetime.Chairman Mao actually kept his son’s things for 26 years without hiding them!
In recent years, Chairman Mao moved several times, and the guards helped carry the luggage, but no one had discovered the existence of this box. No one knows how Chairman Mao did it. People only know that in this secret little box, there is a father's love for his son that he cannot tell others.
Chairman Mao loves Mao Anying, and Mao Anying also admires his father. He has asked himself in his diary more than once, is he qualified to be his son? Later, these contents were seen by Liu Siqi. Liu Siqi took the diary and found Chairman Mao and asked Mao Anying this question that had never been announced.
Chairman Mao couldn't help but burst into tears after seeing his son's true thoughts. He answered firmly, "I am my pride."
Yes, it is of course the pride of parents who always walk with the people and volunteer to go to the front line to defend their country. Mao Anying, who sacrificed his life for the country, and those ancestors who, like Mao Anying, selflessly dedicated their lives to the country and the people, deserve our respect.
