Inscription: Dear comrades, old classmates, old colleagues, tomorrow is "National Martyrs' Day" - National Memorial Day . I wrote an article commemorating the sacrificed comrade Guo Wei and sent it to the group. Please take a look. In the 1979 self-defense fight against Vietnam, our company had three comrades-in-arms, Guo Wei, Ji Lixin and Xia Xingxing, sacrificed their lives for the country. The glory of their great deaths will be immortal forever.
He died on the battlefield and was buried in the Shuitou Martyrs Cemetery of Hekou County, Yunnan Province during the Dongguan battle during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam on February 24, 1979.
"Only with a country can you have a family, and you can report your passion to the country." He said this when he was alive, wrote this, and did it. He is a real soldier, a real warrior, and in my mind, he is a hero. He is my comrade-in-arms in the same barracks and the same year - Guo Wei. Although he has been sacrificed for more than 40 years, I still cannot forget his dedication and military spirit. His agile figure and masculine image often appear in my mind.
Martyr Guo Wei was born in a military family. His father was the chief of the health section of a certain anti-aircraft artillery of the former Jinan Military Region. His mother was a military doctor and lived in the former Changqing County, which is now Changqing District, Jinan City. After he graduated from high school in 1976, he could have " Going to the countryside to the " with his female classmates and girlfriends. After going to the countryside for a few years of exercise, he returned to the city to arrange work, then got married and had children, and lived an ordinary life. But he is a passionate young man with ambitions and is determined to join the army and train himself in the army. His ideas were supported by his family and he actively signed up for the application.
Guo Wei's comrade-in-arms are very handsome, 1.85 meters tall, with a rectangular face, neither fat nor thin, and his every move is full of heroic spirit. Maybe because he lived with his parents in the military camp since he was a child, his waist was always straight. The military recruiting cadres were from the former basketball team of the Daqin Guard Area of Neichangshan Fortress District. They were already in the task of selecting basketball players. They fell in love with him as soon as they met and were preparing to take him to the army to play basketball.
got what he wanted. Guo Wei passed all the physical examination and political reviews and followed the recruiting cadres to Daqin Island, Changdao County, which is a coastal defense outpost far away from the mainland. After recruit company training, he was assigned to the guard platoon of the Daqin Guard Area, and the basketball players at that time were all arranged in the guard platoon. Their main task is to practice football. Sometimes they go out of the island to play basketball games with other troops. Sometimes they also go to the gate of the headquarters of the garrison area headquarters to stand guard. In short, they look like both machine soldiers and logistics soldiers, and their military life is not too tense. Guo Wei's original intention of joining the army was to learn military technology, experience the life of the army that was struggling and real-life ammunition, and become a qualified soldier who could fight and win, but the actual situation was very different. Guo Wei was determined to go to the grassroots company and to the company that was fully trained. He repeatedly asked the chief and repeatedly explained his reasons. The chief was finally moved and agreed to transfer him to the fifth infantry company of the direct team to serve as a soldier.
Infantry Fifth Company is a mobile company on the island, and is responsible for supporting combat. Because of its functions, the training tasks are heavy and the standards are high. Whether it is infantry technical training or tactical training, it is hard and tiring, but Guo Wei is very happy.
When Guo Wei was transferred to the Fifth Infantry Company, I had been here for more than three months. Many subjects of infantry military technology and individual tactics have been carried out. Obviously, he needs to make up for the lessons. At that time, I was in the first row and he was in the second row, and we lived together. Because we joined the army in the same year and ate and lived together, we became close comrades who could talk about everything. In my spare time, I often accompany him to the beach to practice bomb drops, and often accompany him to practice shooting and assassination movements, trying every means to help him improve. Because he was injured while playing on his right wrist, he was affected by force when practicing pitching grenades, and sometimes the pain was unbearable, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. After two months of hard training, his various military skills have made great progress, keeping up with the pace of unified training of the company.
In 1978, our company was transferred to Changbei Farm, which belongs to fortress area, where we plant rice, corn, and dig trenches, and face the loess and backs, sweating on sunny days and mud on rainy days. We, children from rural areas, feel very tired and hard, but Guo Wei does not have the spoiledness of some cadres' children. He works hard with everyone and gradually becomes a mature soldier and a strong soldier.
Time flies, and at the end of the year, the new recruits of 1979 have arrived. I was transferred to train recruits and serve as the squad leader of the recruits. I was temporarily separated from Guo Wei, but we often use our spare time to meet and exchange ideas. During that period, the Vietnamese army raided my country's border areas, and the acts of killing our border people became more and more intense. Whenever I hear these news, Guo Wei and I are indignant and angry. Guo Wei has said many times that the invaders should be fought out and taught them a lesson. If the motherland needs us, I promise to stand up, not be afraid of sacrifice, and dare to shed my blood to protect the country. I said, let's go together, killing the enemy and protecting the country is more important than sacrificing glory.
This day has come. One day in early January 1979, the sound of gathering calls in the company camp sounded, and all the officers and soldiers of the company lined up to the auditorium of the venue to attend the mobilization meeting. The auditorium was solemn and solemn, and the audience was silent. There was no one on the rostrum, only a table was placed. Suddenly, the feldstone achievements came out from one side and sang a majestic military song: "Highly and proudly, cross the Yalu River, protect peace, protect the motherland, and protect the hometown." The meeting began like this, and it was like the rhythm of the war era. The Shichangzhu was a fighting hero in East China during the War of Liberation. As soon as he appeared like this, the tension suddenly rose. Everyone stared at him with wide eyes, but he did not speak much, and directly asked the political commissar to read out the orders of superiors. The main content of this order is to select some old soldiers to support the southwest military region, requiring strong ideological style and high military technology to ensure that they can fight when they come and win when they fight. Before the conference was over, I couldn't wait and my blood was boiling. I was eager to go back and pick up my pen to sign up to write a letter of request.
When the meeting was over, it was already snowing heavily, and snowflakes fell on the earth. The Changbei Farm in the twelfth lunar month was endless and snowy, making the northern scenery look like it. On the way back to the company, the formation of the entire company was more neat than usual, the pace of the comrades was stronger, and the army sang louder. Guo Wei and I walked side by side, and we encouraged each other: "Build troops for a thousand days, and use troops for a while. The time has come to test us. We usually practice military technology to go to the battlefield, but now we finally have a place to use our skills. When we go back, we will write a letter of request for battle as soon as possible, we must be ahead."
In less than half a day, all the soldiers who meet the conditions wrote letters of request for battle. Everyone firmly demanded to go to the front line and go to the places where the motherland needs it most, not be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and resolutely complete the combat mission; they must never embarrass and slander the company, fortress area, and Jinan Military Region, and must win glory and be heroes. A few days later, the order from the field department arrived and the entire company gathered. The company commander solemnly announced that 16 soldiers from the Fifth Infantry Company were approved. On the list of 16 people, Guo Wei was honorably selected, but he did not have my name. I was anxious when I heard this. I followed the company commander to the company headquarters and sincerely asked for approval to go. I said to the company commander, "It is luck that a soldier can have the opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill enemies and make contributions during his service. If I sacrifice, my parents will take care of my brothers and sisters, and the country will have pensions. I am not worried or regretful." The company commander first praised me, and then said, "The quota is limited. You are the new recruit squad leader. Your current mission is also very important. Besides, our fortress area is the 'Beijing-Tianjin Gateway', and the combat readiness task is very heavy now. We are always ready to return to Daqin Island to defend the coastal defense." The company commander's words left me with nothing to say. After leaving the company headquarters, I quickly went to visit Guo Wei.
What a coincidence, Guo Wei is looking for me too. His face was very calm, and he was holding a pair of white sneakers in his hand. These were his beloved sneakers. There was a red line inlaid at the junction of the upper and upper, which was very beautiful. In that era, this kind of sneakers was difficult to buy, so few people wear them. I know that his shoes were brought when he joined the army and were reluctant to wear them, but now they are still like new. Guo Wei said affectionately to me: "This pair of shoes is for you to be a souvenir."When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat and I wanted to ask him: "Are you planning to sacrifice?" ". Although I knew there must be sacrifices on the battlefield, no one would want their comrades to die. Thinking of this, I refused. I thought that rejecting his shoes was rejecting his sacrifice. He was a little disappointed, but no longer forced. The hands of the two of us were tightly held together and did not let go for a long time.
But later, my close comrade Guo Wei really died. When he heard that the comrades who fought with him came back, Guo Wei was very brave in fighting. In the battle of Dongguan on February 24, 1979, he charged forward and fought bravely, and seized a high ground of the enemy with his comrades. When he rushed to the hillside, he was fierce The Vietnamese army suddenly fired downwards with multiple tubes of anti-aircraft machine gun , and the evil bullet hit Guo Wei in the chest. My comrade Guo Wei did not fall down immediately, but continued to rush forward, but eventually fell on the charge road due to excessive blood loss and died gloriously. The comrades were inspired and continued to attack, and in the end, we won.
No matter when, we should remember that we should not forget that victory was exchanged for the lives of martyrs, and peace was exchanged for the lives of martyrs. Without the bloody sacrifice of thousands of revolutionary soldiers, there would be no happy life today, and there would be nothing for the people.
Although Guo Wei's comrade-in-arms died, he, like all martyrs, will always live in our hearts. They are "great of life and glory of death". They are like the stars in the sky of the universe, never extinguished until eternity.
