"Heroes are ordinary people with a great heart."

2 years ago, at the beginning of the founding of New China, the Korean War broke out, and the United States burned the war to the Yalu River. Seeing that North Korea, which was neighboring China, was invaded, under the leadership of the Party, the Chinese people decided to send troops to resist the U.S. aggression.

We can imagine - on that battlefield filled with smoke, the enemy in front of us was the world overlord at that time, and the home behind us had just experienced the artillery fire of the war and was in the reconstruction stage. There was no "Dongfeng Express", no aircraft carriers, and even aircraft were luxury goods.

This seems to be a war that is doomed to fail, but China has formed several volunteer troops to go to North Korea to fight abroad. The iron-blooded soldiers of New China won the victory of this war with their beliefs and flesh and blood under the inequality of "Enemy Atomic Bomb, Our Grenade" .

The volunteers who bravely and fought bloodyly used their lives to write heroic hymns for future generations, and Zhang Wenrong is also one of them.

The last batch of students of the Whampoa Military Academy

Zhang Wenrong was born in 1926 in a small village in Liaozhong County, Liaoning Province. He graduated from Shenyang Second Homework Higher Vocational School in July 1948. In the same year, he was admitted to the Communications Department of Huangpu Army Officers School in Chengdu.

1 In November 1949, Chengdu was liberated, and only Hu Zongnan left to lead the remaining remnants to fight stubbornly in the western Sichuan region. At that time, more than 3,000 teachers and students in the Chengdu Army Officer School were also required to participate in the battle.

However, Li Yongzhong, director of the Education Department of Chengdu Army Officers School, and others were sensible. They knew that the future situation had long been doomed and were unwilling to join Hu Zongnan and others.

So he planned an uprising and led his classmates to the embrace of the People's Army. And Zhang Wenrong and other students who have not graduated can continue to study in school under the arrangement of the Party.

In July 950, Zhang Wenrong graduated from the West Sichuan Branch of Southwest Military and Political University. He was assigned to the 180th Division of the 60th Army as a telegraph operator. At that time, the Korean War broke out, and the 180th Division needed to go to North Korea to participate in the fifth battle. Zhang Wenrong, as a communications soldier, also crossed the Yalu River to North Korea with the 180th Division, and fought desperately with the US military with his comrades.

became a prisoner and a spy

. Fighting under such a huge gap with the US military’s hardware facilities is inevitable. And being captured in failure is unpredictable.

During the fifth battle, about 17,000 volunteer troops were captured due to various reasons, and Zhang Wenrong was also one of them.

The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. The US military abused the more than 20,000 volunteer soldiers and the Korean People's Army soldiers who were captured one after another. According to Zhang Wenrong's recollection, everyone in the prisoner-of-war camp could only lie on the concrete floor. The food every day was moldy rice the size of a fist. In addition to having to do heavy work such as carrying arms day and night, they also had to endure the beatings of the US military. What's even more cruel is that the US military also cut off their limbs on the grounds of treating the wounded, causing them to lose their ability to move and have lifelong disability.

In the enemy's devil's cave, the captured volunteers suffered all the torture, and some of them gave up their dignity and became lackeys of the US military, becoming spies. "Huangpu students" like Zhang Wenrong are their primary goal for becoming spies.

The so-called people who know the times are heroes, and they will stay in the mountains without fear of burning fire. After repeated attempts to win over the US military, Zhang Wenrong pretended to "submission".

Since then, Zhang Wenrong has become the key target of training for the US military. In addition to studying in the training classes in the prisoner-of-war camp, they also sent him to Tokyo for training and forced him to sign the documents promising to become a US intelligence agent, so that he still cannot legitimate himself even if he returns to his motherland in the future.

The US military thought that using this method could make Zhang Wenrong work wholeheartedly for them, but this was indeed a mistake in the plan.

The cunning Americans may never understand how firm the Chinese people’s inner beliefs are and how unshakable the loyalty of Chinese soldiers to the Party is. Even if they are dead bones and ashes, they still remain unwilling to refuse.

made meritorious service and surrendered and returned to the motherland

1952 In the early morning of February 18, 1952, the US intelligence agency issued an order to ask Zhang Wenrong and four other spies to guide the US aircraft and blow up the location where the volunteer army rested after the fifth battle.

But unexpectedly, when the plane came over the destination and the US lieutenant ordered Zhang Wenrong to jump off the plane, he threw a grenade with white smoke into the depths of the cabin, then opened the parachute, leaned over and jumped into the night sky.

At this time, our air defense personnel were staring at the enemy plane with high tension, but they saw that the huge plane suddenly turned into a ball of fire, and fell into the depths of the mountains amid a series of explosions. Immediately, the soldiers immediately went out to search the mountains and soon rescued Zhang Wenrong who had fallen into the mountains.

In the early morning of February 19, 1952, Zhang Wenrong returned to the Volunteer Army and explained everything he had happened after he was captured. His confession has also become important evidence for China to criticize the US during the Korean War armistice negotiations, making the US's various crimes of violating the Geneva Convention publicly.

But unfortunately, after Zhang Wenrong returned to the embrace of his motherland, he did not immediately restore his military status. The "spy certificate" that was forced to press his fingerprint made his identity difficult to explain or explain.

His closing documents show that his feat of blowing up enemy planes can only be regarded as "submission of meritorious service". After rewarding him with 800 yuan, he was sent back to his hometown.

Zhang Wenrong, who returned to his hometown, began to make a living by farming. The amazing feat he once made was only a topic of conversation when he chatted with his family and neighbors. But whenever you think of the past, Zhang Wenrong's face always shows a look of pride.

Someone also asked him if he had made such a great contribution but was not commended. Is he also unwilling to accept it? Zhang Wenrong smiled and replied, "Compared to his comrades who were still on Juji Island, he was already very lucky.

A long time passed, and in March 2000, Zhang Wenrong passed away. After his death, the state finally decided to restore his military status and reissue him a certificate of demobilization and demobilization fee. Although Zhang Wenrong can no longer see his military certificate with his own eyes, perhaps such an ending is also the best comfort for this veteran of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea who has amazing heroic deeds.

It has been 72 years since the victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The stories of countless volunteers in resisting U.S. aggression and aid Korea and the patriotism spirit of sacrificing their lives have also transcended time and space and inspired the Chinese people. It is the countless martyrs that make us know how to cherish the present, not forget history, and forge ahead.
