"A Lifelong Glory in Bagui" (Part 1)
On July 7, 1937, the Japanese invaders brazenly launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. With their equipment advantages, they quickly occupied large areas of China's territory. In September, Jingxian County, Hebei Province fell, and 16-year-old Su Tongqing was forced to drop out of school. Seeing the iron hooves of the Japanese army trampling on his homeland, Su Tongqing was filled with rage. In 1938, he gloriously joined the Eighth Route Army and began a life of military service.
Soon after joining the army, Su Tongqing advanced with the army into southern Hebei and carried out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines in the plains. We have done a lot of publicity, education and organization and mobilization work among the masses. With the joint efforts of the army and the people and the common hatred of the enemy, the southern Hebei anti-Japanese base area rapidly developed and became a wedge inserted into the hinterland of Japanese rule. The troops continued to smash the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression, vowing to live and die with the people of southern Hebei.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Su Tongqing participated in the Huaihai Battle and Crossing the River Battle in the Liberation War. After the Battle of Crossing the River, Su Tongqing accompanied the team to garrison in Luzhou, Sichuan. Soon, the troops received the important task of liberating Tibet. After the liberation of Tibet, Su Tongqing stayed in Tibet to direct the construction of the Garze Airport and the construction of the western line of the Kangzang Highway (today's Sichuan-Tibet Highway). After the Sichuan-Tibet Highway and the Qinghai-Tibet Highway were opened to traffic, Su Tongqing was sent to Nanjing for further study. After graduation, he worked in Guangdong and Guangxi, and was stationed in the southern Xinjiang of the motherland.
Today, Su Tongqing, who spent his life in the military, is 101 years old, but he still does not change his true nature as a soldier and often inspires young soldiers to work hard for national defense.
Like Su Tongqing, Yu Chao also traveled through most of China during the Southern and Northern Wars. In May 1938, the Kuomintang-organized Battle of Xuzhou failed. The Japanese invaders broke into Yu Chao's hometown, Feng County, Jiangsu Province, smashing, looting, and killing everywhere, running rampant. Young Yu Chao made up his mind to become a soldier to protect his family and country.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yu Chao followed the troops into the Northeast and was incorporated into the East Manchu Military Region to perform the task of suppressing bandits. In the severe cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius, it took three months to encircle and suppress more than 2,000 bandits. After that, the Kuomintang launched a massive attack on the East Manchu Liberated Area with its trump card army. Yu Chao successively participated in the Battle of Gongzhutun, the Battle of Huanghuashan, the Battle of Western Liaoning, the Battle of Montenegro, the Battle of Pingjin, and the Battle of Tianjin, etc., and made significant contributions to the liberation of all China.
In June 1950, the Korean War broke out. In September 1951, the United Nations Army led by the United States launched an autumn offensive. Yu Chao, then the chief of the operations unit, assisted the regiment commander in commanding the battle to seize the Zhengdong Xishan position. During the two attacks on the Zhengdong Xishan position, the Chinese volunteer army killed and wounded 2,522 US troops, captured 53 people, and seized more than 500 pieces of various types of guns, creating a classic example of small-scale annihilation in position offensive battles.
Li Yannian was born in 1928. He became a "little pigherd" when he was 7 years old, and became an apprentice in a grain and rice store at the age of 14. Having experienced the hardships of old China, he was determined to follow the Communist Party and conquer the world for the people. In 1945, 17-year-old Li Yannian joined the army in Changchun.
With the belief of sacrificing for the country at any time, during the battle to liberate Yushu County, Li Yannian, a "new soldier" who participated in the battle for the first time, dared to fight and charge, and captured an enemy pistol, which was praised by his superiors. In the subsequent battles, Li Yannian also performed well every time.
In 1950, in order to protect his family and the country, Li Yannian once again joined the Chinese People's Volunteers in the just war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. In October 1951, the superiors ordered Li Yannian's 3rd Battalion to launch a strong attack on Highland 346.6.After two days of fierce fighting, the troops suffered heavy casualties. Although Li Yannian lost contact with his superiors, the injured Li Yannian responded calmly, mobilized the soldiers to "swear to live and die with the position", and quickly adjusted the combat formation, took cover, and waited for the enemy to approach. Before dawn, the 7th Company, which originally had several hundred people, had only more than 40 people left when it changed defenses and withdrew from its position. The green trees and mountains when they went into battle have turned into scorched earth, and even the roots of the trees have been blown away. With the disparity in strength between the enemy and ours, the officers and soldiers fought off several enemy counterattacks and achieved victory by wiping out more than 600 enemy soldiers.
After the war, Li Yannian was awarded special merit by the Volunteer Army Headquarters and was awarded the title of "First Class Hero". He was awarded the Korean Freedom and Independence Level 2 Medal and the National Flag Medal of the Third Level. On September 17, 2019, President Xi Jinping signed a presidential order and awarded Li Yannian the "Medal of the Republic of Korea". For decades, Li Yannian has always maintained his revolutionary nature as a party member. He went through life and death without fear of sacrifice during war years. In peacetime, he was indifferent to fame and fortune and devoted himself silently.
Revolutionary culture is the red culture formed by the Communist Party of China in the struggle practice of leading the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty, pursue national independence, and create people's happiness, shining with the great glory of the revolution. It is the historical mission entrusted to us by the times and the people to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party, strengthen the integrated protection and inheritance of revolutionary culture, advanced socialist culture, and China's excellent traditional culture, and consolidate the common ideological basis for the united struggle of the entire Party and people of all ethnic groups.
