"Climb if you can't walk"
"Even if I die, I have to die on the land of China!"
In March 1979, on the Sino-Vietnam border, Xiao Jiaxi, who was separated from the large army, walked alone for 9 days and 8 nights when he was shot in the body.
Along the way, he only ate wild vegetables and drank dirty water, and his body was extremely weak. What's worse is that the wound that was shot began to get infected and inflamed, full of nauseating maggots.
But none of this made Xiao Jiaxi retreat.
If a maggot is born in the wound, use a wooden stick to dig out the maggots. When the body is unconscious, then wake up and continue walking. As long as you have a breath, you have to climb back to your motherland even if you climb!
When Xiao Jiaxi successfully joined the army, he had only breathed a sigh of relief, and only one rifle was intact on his body.
This experience made Xiao Jiaxi’s title of “Iron Warrior” spread all over the country, and also let everyone learn about Xiao Jiaxi’s legendary life “who did not kill one enemy, but won the first-class merit of ”.
Many people are curious why Xiao Jiaxi, who was just a cook at the time, got separated from the large army? What did you experience later?
Xiao Jiaxi
suffered an accidental ambush and was forced to be separated from the large army
At that time, The founding of New China was extremely difficult, but out of friendship, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent to help Vietnam resist Western invaders.
But unexpectedly, Vietnam's wolf ambition was not only unhappy with China's help, but after taking advantage of the Soviet Union, he turned his back and ruthlessly planned to kick China away, in an attempt to become the overlord of Southeast Asia.
At first, the Vietnamese army only dared to secretly provoke our army. Later, seeing that our army was generous and unwilling to worry, they often created large-scale conflicts and bloodshed incidents, and even poisoned our army's water sources just to embezzle China's border territory.
Seeing that Vietnam's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, our country finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to officially launch the self-defense counterattack in February 1979 to defend its territory and dignity!
The war was very smooth at the beginning, and Xiao Jiaxi even fought all the way to the near the capital of Vietnam with the unstoppable force.
But just as the army was about to withdraw, an accident happened suddenly, and our army was dispersed by the unexpected ambush by the Vietnamese army.
It turned out that the Vietnamese army saw that our army was so powerful that they dared not face it head-on, so they thought of a sinister method: with the advantage of the main terrain, they would disperse our army's formation at all costs and erode the remaining team in segments.
In this way, the Vietnamese army caught our army off guard. Although the Chinese soldiers reacted in time and successfully broke out.
But many soldiers were left on the border by the Vietnamese army forever in the absence of contact.
Xiao Jiaxi was also separated from the large army. When she came to her senses, there were only him and 7 other soldiers left in the huge battlefield.
At that moment, Xiao Jiaxi was both panicked and scared.
His first reaction was to set out quickly to catch up with the army, but this meant that they had to face the layers of blockades of the Vietnamese army alone.
, and the seven people who were separated from the army had already consumed similar supplies in the previous battles. Now they have few people and poor equipment. Once they meet the Vietnamese army, they are dead.
Although it was a blessing in disguise, he was the instructor of the seven people at that time, and he carried a compass with him to help them identify the direction.
can lack ammunition and food, and is undoubtedly the most deadly on the battlefield.
After silently counting the supplies, Xiao Jiaxi and the seven others only had some compressed biscuits and a small amount of weapons and equipment.
In order to catch up with the team alive, the seven people discussed it and decided to hike out at night to avoid the siege of the Vietnamese army.
However, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. The seven people who were already extremely cautious were still surrounded by enemy forces on the fourth day.
At the end of his life, Xiao Jiaxi and others began to fight back frantically, and soon deafening gunshots rang out in the woods.
The huge gunshots of woke up the Vietnamese people nearby, and they also began to cooperate with the Vietnamese army to encircle and suppress the seven people of Xiao Jiaxi.
So Xiao Jiaxi and others could only resist the firepower of the Vietnamese army while avoiding Vietnamese villagers who could appear at any time, and finally retreated back to the mountain again.
Seeing that he and the large army were losing contact for a long time, the seven people began to become more and more impatient. Although they escaped by chance this time with the Vietnamese army, what about the next time? What about next time? Can you still escape successfully?
Under this huge pressure, Xiao Jiaxi and the others decided to take the risk: they wanted to give up the mountain road and choose to march along the highway to catch up with the troops!
This decision is very risky. is very fast walking along the road, but the danger level soars straight. Once they encounter the Vietnamese army without any obstruction, they will be a bright target.
But at this time, Xiao Jiaxi and others who were about to despair could only do whatever they wanted.
But fate did not favor them.
Just after boarding the road, Xiao Jiaxi and others were at a turning point at and encountered a Vietnamese army several times that of their own.
The huge gap between the enemy and us has completely blocked the seven people's survival path.
Just as the Vietnamese army was about to complete the siege, Xiao Jiaxi, the youngest recruit among the seven, stood up.
's tender face was full of determination to burn the boat. He said to the instructor: "I'll go and attract their attention. Instructor, you take the comrades to escape!"
After saying that, he rushed out without waiting for the instructor to respond, running into the paddy field of next to him while shooting at the enemy wildly to attract attention.
Just like that, Xiao Jiaxi successfully led the enemy away and lost contact with his teammates again.
was in trouble alone, and opened the 9-day and 8-night legendary road
Feeling the bullets splashing around behind him, Xiao Jiaxi seemed to smell the smell of death.
At that moment, he had no idea in his mind, only one thought, that was: keep running! Run further and further, so that the instructors and the others will be safer!
may be a stimulation at the critical moment of life and death, which made Xiao Jiaxi burst out all his physical potential at once, and he actually ran out of the enemy's pursuit circle.
After returning to his senses, Xiao Jiaxi found that the Yue army had disappeared, and his buttocks were also bounced, and the blood from the outflow soaked his pants.
Although he had run out of the pursuit circle, Xiao Jiaxi did not dare to be careless. Considering that the Vietnamese army might catch up at any time, he continued to flee without having time to bandage the wound.
While running, Xiao Jiaxi suddenly had an idea and thought that there are many natural caves on the mountains in Vietnam. The internal structure of these caves is complex and can be regarded as their own hiding place.
So Xiao Jiaxi hid in the cave for two days until he was sure that the enemy troops had withdrawn and walked out of the cave and continued his long journey back home.
After more than a day of escape , Xiao Jiaxi has already finished eating the food, and she can still keep walking all depends on the remaining salt on her body to maintain her physical strength.
, but the salt was eaten up very quickly.
Someone said that humans can live up to three days if they eat but don’t drink, and up to seven days if they drink but don’t eat.
But at this time, Xiao Jiaxi neither ate nor drank.
Although he passed many mountain springs and streams along the way, he did not dare to touch a drop of the water inside, because the Vietnamese army had done a lot of poisoning the water source.
When I was so hungry that I was so thirsty, Xiao Jiaxi would eat some wild vegetables and leaves and drink some dirty water in the paddy fields.
What's worse is that because the wounds that were shot were not treated in time, they began to be infected and inflamed in the hot and humid environment, and later they were even more crawled with maggots.
The aggravation of the injury and extreme hunger made Xiao Jiaxi's body weaker and weaker, and sometimes he could faint several times a day.
Xiao Jiaxi felt that he had already stepped into the gate of hell, and his body was as heavy as if he had been filled with molten iron. Every step he took was so tired that he was breathing.
At this time, he was supported by a thought in his mind: I want to live! Even if I die, I will die on China’s land!
Just like that, Xiao Jiaxi walked step by step. When he was about to completely collapse, he suddenly found a corn field in front of him, and behind the corn field there was a stone tablet carved with "Closing the Mountains and Raising Forests".
Looking at the stone tablet, Xiao Jiaxi instantly burst into tears, and he arrived in China!
After 9 days and 8 nights of walking alone, he finally returned to China alive!
was awarded the first-class merit, how was the "Iron Warrior" made
"Who is there?"
As soon as Xiao Jiaxi walked past the stone tablet, he was found by the sentry on duty.
Looking at Xiao Jiaxi in ragged clothes and covered in blood, the sentry thought he was a spy sent by the Vietnamese army. When he was about to catch the other party and sent him for interrogation, he saw Xiao Jiaxi shaking and rolling down from the hillside.
"Don't shoot...I...my name is Xiao Jiaxi...I'm a comrade..."
Xiao Jiaxi, who was extremely tired, struggled to shout this sentence, could no longer hold on and completely fainted.
So the sentries sent Xiao Jiaxi to a field hospital for treatment. After Xiao Jiaxi was sent to the hospital, the doctors were shocked by his injuries. In his opinion, Xiao Jiaxi's body was clearly on the verge of collapse, but it was so incredible that it had to last until now.
Because of the serious injury, Xiao Jiaxi finally saved his life after several treatments for more than two months.
The doctor who performed the operation on him couldn't help but sigh: "Such tenacious vitality is really a miracle in physiological history."
After waking up, Xiao Jiaxi explained to the organization the whole process of his separation from the army and struggling to survive alone in 9 days and 8 nights.
Soon, Xiao Jiaxi's legendary deeds spread throughout the military region, and even General Wang Zhen, then Vice President of the State, visited him personally.
Regarding Xiao Jiaxi's experience, General Wang Zhen praised: "Although you did not kill the enemy on the battlefield, during the nine days and eight nights, you did not discard your weapons and ammunition and crawled back to the motherland. You are a well-deserved hero!"
's words moved Xiao Jiaxi to tears. He did not expect that he would receive such a high praise from his leaders, and he did not expect that he would have a day called a hero.
Xiao Jiaxi felt guilty about it. He said: No matter how severe he is, as long as he has a breath, he will crawl back to his motherland.
In order to commend Xiao Jiaxi for his loyalty to the motherland, after he was officially discharged from the hospital, the party organization awarded Xiao Jiaxi the honorary titles of "first-class hero" and "steel warrior".
After being commended, Xiao Jiaxi's legendary story spread more and more widely in the country.
While many people admire him, they can’t help but wonder: , who is obviously just a cook, why can Xiao Jiaxi persist in hiking for 9 days and 8 nights?
This has to start with Xiao Jiaxi's family.
People who once had no food and no clothing were not enough to live in wealth, not only became richer, but also sent their children to school.
In that era, scholars were precious. As long as they read, their children could get rid of poverty and change their destiny.
So Xiao Jiaxi's parents also sent Xiao Jiaxi to school early.
In the idea of Xiao Jiaxi's parents, as long as his son can read a name, his future development will be limitless.
But what they never expected was that Xiao Jiaxi, who had been rebellious since childhood, did not like to study. He was influenced by the environment of the Sichuan revolutionary holy land. Xiao Jiaxi's greatest ideal was to join the army and become a great hero like Marshal Liu Bocheng.
Finally, when Xiao Jiaxi was 20 years old, he realized his wish to become a soldier.
At that time, the Sino-Vietnam border conflict was intensifying. In order to prepare for war, our army began to expand its army on a large scale, and the news also spread to Xiao Jiaxi's hometown.
When Xiao Jiaxi heard the news of the army recruiting soldiers, he jumped up and down excitedly, told his parents and ran to sign up. After joining the army, Xiao Jiaxi was assigned to the recruit company of the 448th Regiment of the 150th Division of the 50th Army.
When recruits company , Xiao Jiaxi worked hard every day and put in twelve points of effort into training.
He felt that with his performance, he would definitely be able to go to the front line, and he might be able to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy and become a hero immediately.
However, reality quickly gave him a blow.
After the training of the recruit company, Xiao Jiaxi was not assigned to the front line, but became a logistics cook.
Xiao Jiaxi was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why others could go to the front line, but he had to stay in the back. Whenever he saw others doing combat training, his sense of imbalance became even more serious.
But the duty of a soldier is to obey the arrangements. No matter how unwilling to give up, Xiao Jiaxi could only accept his orders as a cook.
Slowly, Xiao Jiaxi also figured it out. He told himself that although the cook was inconspicuous, as a responsible person and burden were not light as a responsible person in charge of the entire company.
So Xiao Jiaxi adjusted his attitude and rekindled his enthusiasm to work. In order to better take care of his comrades' bodies, he not only bought the freshest vegetables every day, but also tried every means to regulate his diet and even studied the nutritional combination of meat and vegetables.
Gradually, Xiao Jiaxi's work began to be recognized by more and more people.
But Xiao Jiaxi couldn't let go of his heroic dream in his heart. He often dreamed of dreaming of going to the battlefield at night.
At this time, Xiao Jiaxi did not realize how cruel his dream of heroism was to those involved in the war.
On February 17, 1979, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam by officially started, and Xiao Jiaxi also went to the battlefield with the troops.
The sound of cannons was everywhere, and Xiao Jiaxi watched helplessly as he talked and laughed to him the previous second, and the next second it turned into cold corpses under the cannon fire.
For a moment, fear, shock, sadness and anger filled my mind. Xiao Jiaxi, who once wanted to be a big hero, realized for the first time that war would kill many people.
At this moment, Xiao Jiaxi seemed to have grown up in an instant. After clearly realizing the cruelty of the battlefield, he asked his superiors to go to the battlefield to avenge his comrades with the determination to die!
But the leader rejected him.
Maybe fate is to tease people.
, Xiao Jiaxi, who was rejected, was separated from his large army and comrades when he was transferred as a logistics staff member, thus opening his thrilling and heroic path.
Postscript:
Looking back at Xiao Jiaxi's experience, many people may not recognize him for his first-class merit, and think that he clearly did not kill one of the enemies, so how could he have this honor?
But what I want to say is that there are more than one heroes, and those who kill countless enemies can be called heroes. People like Xiao Jiaxi who do not hesitate to use their body as bait just to win a glimmer of hope for their comrades, and after they completely lose contact with their comrades and troops, they never abandon weapons, and even if they wander countless times between life and death, they want to return to their motherland.
Xiao Jiaxi's loyalty and courage are the things that are worth learning from.
It is precisely because of countless "Xiao Jiaxi" who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood that we have a happy and peaceful life.
