In 2022, there was a legendary old man in the Heishi Reef Retreat in Dalian Heishi Reef.
He is now 99 years old.
He wears a pair of black-framed glasses, his face and hands are covered with age spots, and he needs help when walking.
But even though he is old, the old man is still quick in thinking and his eyes are even more striking.
And what he likes to do the most is to tell people about his participation in the revolution.
He is one of the only four remaining founding generals - Wang Fuzhi .
Among the countless revolutionary stories of General Wang, there are two things that people talk about most:
One is his "savior" two flies;
The other is his "father-seeking hero" an old farmer who drove a donkey cart.
However, whenever these two things are mentioned, Wang Fuzhi is always full of tears and said with shame:
"Thank you...but I'm sorry..."
The young man joined the army and is determined to revive China
923, Wang Fuzhi was born in a poor peasant family in Zizhou County, Shaanxi Province.
His hometown is located in the hinterland of Loess Plateau .
The ground is full of gullies, with serious soil erosion and very harsh natural conditions.
You can imagine that the locals live a very difficult life.
The Wang family has four people.
In addition to Wang Fuyi's family of three, there is also his grandfather.
The old man in the family urinated with his father to help the landlords work outside, and the Queen Mother is a female celebrity to make money and barely make a living.
But reality is often cruel.
When Wang Fuzhi was 5 years old, his mother died of illness.
This already struggling family has made it worse.
In order to reduce the burden on the family, Wang Fuzhi went to the landlord's house to herd cattle.
In other people's homes, he has to do any dirty and tiring work.
As long as you make a little mistake, you will be deducted at the least, and you will be punched and kicked at the worst.
At a young age, he suffered all the humiliation outside.
Now the Loess Plateau
Once, Wang Fuzhi was about to go to herd cattle.
Several children from the landlord's house were blocking the door and refused to let him leave.
As the bull went further and further, Wang Fuzhi was so anxious that he stamped his feet and burst into tears.
It was not until his shout caught the attention of others that he was relieved.
Although Wang Fuzhi has suffered a lot of unfair treatment, he still persisted.
That's it, he stayed in the landlord's house for a full 3 years.
When Wang Fuzhi was 8 years old, the Wang family's conditions improved slightly.
What’s more fortunate is that Wang’s father is a visionary and sensible person.
He wanted to take out all his savings at home for his son to study.
As the saying goes, knowledge changes destiny.
Only with culture can Wang Fuzhi get out of this barren land.
With this idea in mind, Wang's father sent his son to a private school to let him learn the most basic Chinese classical literature.
Ko Wang Fuzhi only read for a few months and then another change occurred at home.
At that time, the king's father had to make a choice:
was to keep the money and let his son continue to study;
was to use the money to save the family.
After learning the news, Wang Fuzhi immediately offered to drop out of school.
Although he only had a few months of study, he fell in love with a sentence:
"Men should be self-reliant."
and this also had a profound impact on his subsequent life.
After that, he returned to farming life.
Until Wang Fuzhi was 12 years old, the village where he lived was still very peaceful.
But at this time, the land of China has been surging.
Just this year, the North China Incident broke out.
CCP Central Committee and the First Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, where a red base was established.
Therefore, Wang Fuzhi's hometown often has Red Army soldiers to promote revolutionary ideas.
But he was young at that time and did not understand what revolution was and what the Red Army was.
But as the saying goes, seeing is true.
During that time, he saw with his own eyes that the Red Army soldiers were strict in discipline and did not harm the local people.
Not only that, the soldiers also helped the villagers fight against the local tyrants, divide the fields, farm, eat and live together.
Wang Fuzhi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
Gradually, he also came up with the idea of joining the Red Army, determined to liberate the whole of China with the soldiers.
Then, in order to successfully join the Red Army, he even lied.
It turned out that Wang Fuzhi, who was only 12 years old at the time, was worried that he was too young to accept the army.
He told the recruited comrade that he was 17 years old.
Wang Fuzhi
Maybe a northern man, coupled with years of hard work, he looks tall and strong.
Therefore, the recruiting comrade did not have too much doubt and agreed to his enlistment.
Before leaving with the troops, Wang Fuzhi returned home and said goodbye to his father.
Hearing his son's ambitions, Wang's father did not say much, but just stared at Wang Fuzhi quietly.
I don’t know how long it took before he slowly got up and turned to walk into the bedroom.
And all he has to do is help his son pack his luggage.
turned his back to Wang Fuzhi, and Wang's father's face was a little trembling.
He seems to be collecting things in an orderly manner, but in fact he is in a hurry.
After a while, the toiletries were reinstalled; then I put my clothes in.
His tears continued to fall on his son's clothes.
After all, unless it is absolutely necessary, who is willing to let his son experience life and death?
But just in the few seconds of looking at each other, he saw the spark of revolution in his son's eyes.
Despite his reluctance and worries, he still sent Wang Fuzhi away himself.
At that moment, the father of Wang stood in front of the door, watching his son's back gradually moving away.
Who would have thought that this separation lasted for a full 18 years.
After joining the army, Wang Fuzhi was assigned to the "Young Camp" of the Red 26th Army.
There are all teenagers of similar age as him.
The oldest one is only sixteen or seventeen years old.
But although they are young, some have participated in several battles.
is an experienced "veteran".
At that time, the Red Army's weapons and equipment were very backward, and even more so in the young battalion.
Only a small number of comrades are equipped with old rifles and grenades .
Naturally, it is even more impossible for new recruits like Wang Fuzhi to be equipped with weapons.
At that time, he only had a handful of darts .
However, the equipment was not as good as the enemy for hundreds of years, and the young camp still won several beautiful victories.
The most classic thing is the Battle of Laoshan.
In October 11935, Liu Zhidan, the leader of the revolutionary base in northern Shaanxi, planned a battle in the Laoshan area.
Liu Zhidan
At that time, he deployed the soldiers on Laoshan around the enemy base camp.
wants to wait for the enemy to enter the encirclement and catch the turtle in a jar.
As expected, the enemy took the bait.
As the commander said, the soldiers shouted and rushed forward.
The soldiers of the joint camp followed closely behind.
Some of them are on the battlefield for the first time, but they have an amazing fighting will.
With its flexible positioning and witty playing style, everyone has made the enemy mess up and has no power to fight back.
, especially Wang Fuzhi.
He was carrying the swing and ran to an enemy at once.
The enemy didn't expect that the baby soldier was so unafraid of death and didn't react at all.
Just like that, he was blocked by Wang Fuzhi.
"Snatch the gun and don't kill it!"
Seeing this, Wang Fuzhi shouted.
and this is also the first gun he seized since he participated in the revolution.
Later, his deeds received unanimous praise from superiors and comrades.
Wang Fuzhi
A year later, Wang Fuzhi officially joined the Communist Party of China.
In the next few years, Wang Fuzhi was appointed as a correspondent and surveyor because of his strong learning ability and smart mind.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has made great contributions to the War of Resistance in North China.
went to expedition to the black soil, and swallowed the remaining enemies until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China began to prepare for the liberation of the whole country.
947, Wang Fuzhi came to the Northeast battlefield with a very important strategic position.
He is no longer the little devil in the Northeast battlefield.
Over the years, he has struggled on the bloody battlefield and accumulated rich combat experience.
At that time, Wang Fuzhi served as the battalion commander of the 14th Regiment of the 5th Division, the 2nd Column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army.
Under his leadership, the soldiers made great achievements.
The most famous thing is the Jiangjiadian battle.
947 On March 9, 1947, Wang Fuzhi pursued the enemies near Maojiapeng according to the orders of his superiors.
But then, he came up with different opinions by studying the situation at that time and analyzing the intelligence brought back by the investigators.
It believes that the enemy should be near Jiangjiadian.
So, Wang Fuzhi insisted on taking the troops to Jiangjiadian to block the attack.
Wang Fuzhi
Facts prove that his judgment is correct.
At that time, the enemy deployed a whole reinforcement battalion near Jiangjiadian.
The village is surrounded by walls made of loess and stones.
Several courtyards in the village are connected to each other.
can quickly support each other.
It can be said that at this time, the Jiangjia Store is like a wall of iron, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
For this situation, Wang Fuzhi formulated a very strict offensive plan.
First, he sent soldiers from the sharp knife platoon to touch the wall;
planned to tear out a hole in the enemy's "defense shield".
At that time, in order not to be discovered, the soldiers breathed and fought in the dark.
It was cloudy that day, and it was a bit snowing.
It is naturally even darker at night, and only people can be seen within a range of ten meters, and the visibility is very low.
But unexpectedly, theirs still alarmed the enemy's sentinels.
"Who!"
Fortunately, it was hard to see clearly because it was dark.
Enemy sentry can only shout to confirm their identity.
Hearing this, the leader of the sharp knife platoon suddenly reacted and immediately replied:
"Own people, your own people."
Just when the enemy's sentry had not figured out what was going on, the sharp knife platoon had successfully touched the wall.
Next, other companies advanced one after another.
Just as everyone was about to enter the village, Wang Fuzhi discovered through the faint light that there was actually a cannon tower in the southwest corner.
This means that the entire force will be under serious threat.
At the critical moment, Wang Fuzhi quickly adjusted the direction of the attack.
He immediately issued an order, and he led the third company to capture the artillery tower, and the other soldiers were responsible for covering it.
The three companies under Wang Fuzhi's leadership did not disappoint everyone's expectations.
They are not afraid of the enemy's artillery fire.
Wang Fuzhi even led the way, holding the submachine gun and rushed up.
The enemy has never seen such a desperate team.
Before they could resist, they were hit by the soldiers with guns.
Seeing this, the enemy threw their guns and raised their hands, indicating that they surrendered.
Just like that, the third company successfully occupied the artillery tower.
After capturing the artillery tower, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly.
The third company used artillery fire to suppress the enemy, causing it to lose its sense of resistance.
At this moment, Wang Fuzhi stood in the artillery tower like carrying a spear, shouting:
"Surrender, the Democratic Alliance will treat the prisoners preferentially!"
Hearing this, the enemies lined up to surrender.
This battle took nearly 1 hour.
PLA only had costs of injuring 119 people and killing 7 people. captured more than 350 enemy deputy battalion commander and killed more than 150 enemies.
At the same time, they also seized more than 250 rifles, heavy machine guns, two, 81 mortars, and 6 chemical mortars.
After the war, Wang Fuzhi was awarded the first-class merit of .
During the Liberation War, he followed the troops to the Northeast, North China, Central China and other theaters.
From the Songhua River in the northeast to Zhennan Pass in Guangxi, the journey is tens of thousands of kilometers.
has received countless military achievements and awards.
. When the whole country was liberated, he resolutely devoted himself to the battle to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
In 1950, the United States launched a war in North Korea and gradually approached the front line to the Sino-North Korea border.
Northeast region has become an outpost of war from the strategic rear, and the situation is in jeopardy.
The New China at that time experienced war and everything was in trouble.
Faced with such a situation, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to take emergency measures to dispatch troops to support the Northeast after careful consideration.
to deal with the possible expanded situation. However, in the face of China's military deployment, the United States not only did not converge;
instead became increasingly rampant, and even bombed my country's Dandong region.
is intolerable.
On October 19, 1950, under the leadership of Peng Dehuai, the volunteer army entered North Korea in batches with great courage.
At that time, Wang Fuzhi was the commander of the Third Regiment of the Fifth Division of the 39th Army.
This team is also one of the first troops to enter North Korea.
彩彩 Yalujiang , I will have good fortune in the future
0, Wang Fuzhi, the veteran general, fought hard battles all his life and had long put life and death aside.
But when it comes to the most dangerous and impressive battle, it is on the Korean battlefield.
Because of his brave combat and good command, Wang Fuzhi was appointed as the acting commander of the 115th Division.
After he became the division commander, he organized soldiers to attack the next strategic high ground.
This battle is a model of winning with less.
For this reason, the Volunteer Army Headquarters also specially sent Liu Ming, a reporter from " People's Daily " to the 115th Division to interview Wang Fuzhi.
At that time, the 115th Division was stationed east of Linjinjiang .
This place belongs to a strategic location.
The enemy will pour tens of thousands of tons of shells here every day.
The position is full of gravel residues.
Wang Fuzhi's command center is set up in the tunnel below the position.
there is simple but very neat.
carved several small holes as windows;
placed a wooden table with a combat map on it.
On the evening of August 2, 1952, reporter Liu Ming came to the command center to meet Wang Fuzhi.
After he listened to his story about the battle and his experience, he leaned on the table to write a news report.
In order not to disturb Liu Ming's writing, Wang Fuzhi lit a candle and took the combat staff to the depths of the tunnel to discuss the next combat deployment.
Wang Fuzhi (left)
However, just as everyone was concentrating on working, there was a sudden loud "boom".
The enemy's shells fell just above the command center.
shells completely destroyed the command center, and the scene was pitch black. The air waves generated by
pushed everyone around, and everyone was crushed under rubble and gravel, and life and death were unknown.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Fuzhi gradually woke up and got up with difficulty.
After looking around, he quickly figured out his current situation and mission:
must rescue his trapped comrades immediately.
But at this time, the entrance of the tunnel was completely blocked.
had no choice but to try to contact the outside world while finding other comrades trapped.
In the tunnel where you can't see your fingers, Wang Fuzhi shouted his comrades' names over and over again.
However, no matter how he shouted, only Chief of Operations Section Su and Staff Chen responded weakly.
After hearing their voices, Wang Fuzhi immediately crawled towards the source of the sound.
Fortunately, he successfully found the buried section chief and staff officer.
Volunteer Army to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea
Both of them were seriously injured at the time and could not move.
Wang Fuzhi knew that he must find a way out as soon as possible.
He thought of many ways to contact the outside world.
Knocking buckets, basins, and stones on the walls...
It's a pity that none of these behaviors can be reacted to.
But in fact, when Wang Fuzhi and the others were trapped under the tunnel, the comrades on the ground were also nervously organizing rescue.
At that time, when President Peng heard the news, he immediately instructed the 39th Army to find Wang Fuzhi.
The commander of the 39th Army Wu Xinquan , was Wang Fuzhi's superior during the Long March period.
It can be said that he watched him grow from a young man step by step to what he is now, and he has a very deep relationship with Wang Fuzhi.
He ordered Wang Fuzhi to be rescued at all costs.
In order to better carry out the rescue mission, Wu Xinquan drew engineers from the army's direct engineering battalion to participate in the excavation;
At the same time, he also sent Shen Tiebing, the political commissar of the 115th Division, and Cheng Guofan, chief of staff, to the scene to command the rescue.
Despite this, there was no clue about the trapped people.
Seeing this situation, Shen Tiebing found several large jars with tears in his eyes and prepared to place the remains of the martyrs.
At that time, Cheng Guofan clenched his fists on the side and said in a trembling voice:
"Our teacher is tall, so let's find a coffin."
Wu Xinquan was very sad when he heard these words.
Wu Xinquan
Later, he sent a telegram to President Peng informing Wang Fuzhi that he had died.
received the bad news, and Peng Dehuai quickly called back and instructed:
"Even if you sacrifice, the body must be sent back to the motherland for burial."
answered this way. In the list of volunteer military cadres, Wang Fuzhi was marked as "sacrifice".
But despite this, the soldiers did not stop digging.
has been found the next night.
Just when everyone was about to lose hope, Liu Wen, deputy commander of Engineer Company , discovered that two flies were flying out of the crack of the stone.
This means that Wang Fuzhi and the others may still be alive.
Liu Wencai was ecstatic about this.
He hurriedly reported this information to Wu Xinquan.
Commander Wu immediately instructed:
"Send additional personnel to rescue!"
At this point, the soldiers rekindled their hope and started searching again.
The shovel was dug out, so I dug it with my bare hands.
Even though everyone's hands and nails were cut from cracks by the stones, their palms were full of blood donations, and they did not stop.
Finally, after Liu Wencai moved a stone away, he saw Wang Fuzhi, Section Chief Su and Staff Chen who were already dying.
Everyone quickly and carefully carried them out and then sent them to the battlefield hospital.
Unfortunately, reporter Liu Ming died in this accident.
news that Wang Fuzhi was rescued reached the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
President Peng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news, and finally let go of his heart.
Recalling this in his later years, Wang Fuzhi was very grateful to the soldiers who did not give up on them;
even called the fly "life-saving benefactor".
But when it comes to what he is thinking when his life is hanging in a thread.
Wang Fuzhi couldn't help but turn red eyes and whispered:
"Father..."
drifted for more than ten years and finally saw his old father
In fact, Wang Fuzhi left his hometown at the age of 12.
, by 1953, he had not been back for 18 years.
Although to outsiders, he was a tough guy.
But every time it was late at night, he couldn't help looking out the window and missed the scenery of his hometown.
Especially the old father at home.
After returning from the Korean battlefield, Wang Fuzhi was sent to the hospital for rest.
In the peaceful and peaceful environment of the hospital, Wang Fuzhi misses his hometown more and more.
Before, because he had been fighting and in order to protect his family, Wang Fuzhi never passed a letter with his family.
The domestic situation is basically stable now, and his injuries are gradually improving.
So, Wang Fuzhi applied to his superiors and went home to visit his old father. After
was approved, he was about to leave and return home.
Before leaving, he did not bring the guards to prevent disturbing the comrades in the local area.
I saw him wearing plain clothes and carrying some homemade gifts in his hand.
In fact, Wang Fuzhi has a lot of worries along the way.
After all, I haven’t been back for many years. Is my family still alive?
Will they move?
Can they still recognize themselves?
...
Various questions hover in his mind.
After many twists and turns, Wang Fuzhi finally came to the county town closest to his hometown.
But even so, there are still dozens of kilometers from the county town to the village.
The traffic at that time was very inconvenient.
Wang Fuzhi stood by the road, looking at his hometown in the distance, looking through his eyes.
Just when he was anxious, a donkey cart passed by.
Seeing this, Wang Fuzhi hurriedly stopped the donkey cart and asked politely:
"Uncle, where are you going?"
Hearing this, an old farmer walked out of the car.
He looks like a local.
High cheekbones, dark skin, white towel on the head, wrinkles on the face and hands, as if writing about the vicissitudes of life.
What’s more coincidental is that the place where the old farmer is going is Wang Fuzhi’s hometown.
Later, I heard that he was returning home to visit relatives, and the old farmer was even more enthusiastic.
At that time, he looked at Wang Fuzhi with a kind face, and inexplicably felt a trace of familiarity between his eyebrows.
Because he was a fellow villager, the old farmer didn't think much about it and invited him to get in the car and go with him.
is like this, the two of them chatted while rushing, and they were very close.
Seeing that the old farmer was about the same age as his father, Wang Fuzhi couldn't help but ask the old farmer:
"Old man, are you the people nearby? Are you all okay at home?"
The old farmer laughed and said:
"The family is pretty good. Now New China has established , and everyone is speeding up the construction.
Our family is also divided, and life is getting more and more hopeful.
But now I am the only one in the family..."
as the old man said, lowering his head, feeling a little lost.
Wang Fuzhi
Suddenly, the old farmer suddenly remembered something and said:
"I have a son! But he left home to join the army at a very young age. He has been in chaos for more than ten years, and I don't know how he is."
When hearing this, Wang Fuzhi suddenly felt nervous.
He hurriedly asked:
"Uncle, how old did your son go out when he was? What's his name?"
Seeing that he was emotional, the old farmer was a little dazed and replied casually:
"My son went out when he was 12 years old, and his name was Wang Fuzhi."
Hearing this, Wang Fuzhi could no longer suppress his emotions.
I didn't expect that the old father who was thinking about day and night was right in front of me.
He had tears in his eyes, held the old farmer's hand tightly, and said:
"Dad, I am Wang Fuzhi."
It turned out that after Wang Fuzhi left home early, his figure and appearance changed a lot.
My father has also grown a lot over the years.
Wang Fuzhi
The two of them chatted in the car all the way, but they didn't recognize each other.
When I learned this news, the old man was also surprised.
He never thought that after so many years, he would actually meet his son in a donkey cart.
At this moment, the king's father was already in tears.
He trembledly pulled Wang Fuzhi's hand into his arms, looked at his son carefully, and said:
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
The two of them hugged their heads and cried for a while before continuing to drive towards home.
After seeing his father, Wang Fuzhi took him to Beijing and lived with him.
This child who has been away from home since childhood finally has the opportunity to live with his family.
postscript
When Wang Fuzhi returned to the army, he went to Nanjing Military Academy for further study. After graduating from
, he successively served as Chief of Staff of the 39th Army, assisting Deng Xiaoping in commanding the Zhenbao Island Self-Defense War and the Xisha Naval Battle, and made outstanding contributions to the military construction of the Republic.
Wang Fuzhi
In 1964, Wang Fuzhi was awarded the rank of major general.
To this day, he is one of the four founding generals living.
The old general's life was magnificent, and he devoted his life to the liberation of the motherland.
