In the early days of the founding of new China, the Korean War broke out. This battle started very hastily, but ended extremely tragically. The then commander-in-chief of the US military, MacArthur, led the Incheon landing and pushed the Korean People's Army back to "before liberation". He was very arrogant. He not only threatened to unify Korea, but also crossed the Yalu River to attack China.
However, Chairman Mao did not let him continue to be so arrogant. Under the instructions of the central government, our army quickly entered North Korea to fight. MacArthur, however, was as arrogant as ever, claiming that he could end the battle before Christmas.
But MacArthur miscalculated this time. Indeed, in terms of equipment and strength, Chinese soldiers are at least two generations behind the US military, but he forgot that the will of soldiers can also make up for the equipment gap.
Sure enough, in the ensuing battle, the Thirty-eighth Army created a miracle of light infantry , traveled a long distance to occupy Sansuoli, and dealt a devastating blow to the United Nations Army .
In this war, the US military suffered heavy losses. Facing the volunteer army whose legs could run faster than airplanes and cars, the US military commander Lieutenant General Walker couldn't help but wailed: wants to defeat China unless God enters the war with steel helmet .
Just like this, the most powerful country in the world, along with the entire United Nations army, was beaten violently by the newly established New China. There is no doubt that this is a sign that the Chinese people have stood up.
However, although China has created miracles in this war, we have also paid a heavy price. Because we have to make up for the equipment gap, we have exerted our subjective initiative to the extreme. In addition to the operations that exceed human limits on the battlefield, there are also the blood and sacrifices of countless cadres and children.
Among these sacrificed children, Comrade Mao Anying is undoubtedly the one who receives the most attention. As Chairman Mao's son, he voluntarily went to the most dangerous battlefield and died heroically to protect documents. When Chairman Mao heard the news, he was heartbroken with grief, but he still endured the severe pain and said: Who let him be my son Mao Zedong?
This scene alone is enough to demonstrate the power of the Chinese military. How can such troops and such willpower be stopped by so-called imperialism?
Of course, in addition to Chairman Mao’s sons, there were also many children of high-ranking cadres who rushed to the battlefield. For example, the sons of three generals also shed tears of blood in that tragic battle. They are respectively the eldest son of Lieutenant General Kuang Yumin , the son of Lieutenant General Tian Weiyang, and the son of Major General Yan Fu.
Let’s first look at Lieutenant General Kuang Yumin. Kuang Yumin has a nickname, "General Gun God". He was born in Wanan, Jiangxi Province in 1907. He joined the Red Army as early as 1930 and joined the Communist Party of China in 1932.
When he first joined the army, he was assigned to the Military Commission Guard Regiment. Xiang Ying, chairman of the Military Commission at the time, admired him very much and specially warned him: "Yumin, the artillery is very powerful, and one cannon weighs a lot." It didn't take long for Kuang Yumin to be assigned to the artillery battery of the Red Army Headquarters, starting his artillery career.
I have to say that Kuang Yumin was quite talented in this area, such as the Battle of Guangchang launched by the Red Army during the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign in 1931. During the battle, the Red Army rushed to kill several times, but were repelled by the enemy's firepower. The Red Army wanted to suppress it with artillery, but several gunners changed and failed to hit.
At this critical moment, Kuang Yumin stepped forward and, through precise calculations, fired directly. But this one shot directly eliminated the enemy's firepower. Taking advantage of the machine gun's misfire, our army rushed forward and annihilated an enemy regiment.
Thanks to this battle, Kuang Yumin immediately became famous. At that time, Mr. Zhu praised him: "You are really a master artilleryman."
In the subsequent battles, Kuang Yumin became more and more accurate in artillery fire. During the Anti-Japanese War, he led the Artillery Regiment Company to meet the 15th Division , and once fought an ambush against the Japanese.During that battle, he ordered the artillery to blast the Japanese invaders, but not a single bomb deviated from the direction. More than 400 Japanese soldiers were directly killed. Kuang Yumin began to win the title of "Artillery God".
Of course, Kuang Yumin became famous, but he also attracted the attention of Chiang Kai-shek . In order to kill this terrible enemy, Chiang Kai-shek sent several assassins to assassinate him, but they all failed. Afterwards, our party made stern representations on this matter, which also made Kuang Yumin famous throughout the world. At that time, Chairman Mao also lamented to him: Kuang Yumin was shocked, and Chiang Kai-shek lost a county.
After the outbreak of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Kuang Yumin served as the director of the Volunteer Army Artillery Command Post. At that time, Mr. Peng admired him very much: "You are still as majestic as before, and you even sent the eldest son to North Korea. This time, father and son participated in the war."
However, although Mr. Peng said that Kuang Yumin's eldest son performed bravely, he died heroically in the second battle. When the news came back to the command post, Kuang Yumin was extremely sad.
But he said resolutely: "He died for the motherland and the Korean people. He died with glory." Mr. Peng said with great admiration: "This is the true nature of the old Red Army and the general's mind." In 1955, Kuang Yumin was awarded the honor of lieutenant general and later served as deputy commander of the Artillery of the People's Liberation Army.
is followed by Lieutenant General Tian Weiyang . He was born in Zaoyang County, Hubei Province. As a veteran of the Red Army, he participated in the Northern Hubei Uprising and the Daye Uprising early on. Later, he participated in the battle to attack Changsha and made military exploits in 1 to 5 counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns. Later, he also participated in the Long March and became one of the batch of elite seeds.
After the Anti-Japanese War broke out, he fought bloody battles with the Japanese army in places such as Weishan Lake in Shandong and Hongze Lake in Jiangxi, leading the people to persist in the Anti-Japanese guerrilla war, and also displayed great military prowess.
During the War of Liberation, from the Battle of Liaoshen to the Battle of Pingjin, and then to the Battle of Crossing the Yangtze River, he participated in all the battles and became a man of the hour. He fought dozens of battles, large and small, and made immortal contributions to the founding of New China. After the founding of New China, he successively served as commander of the 41st Army and commander of the Eastern Guangdong Military Region.
As an old Red Army soldier, Tian Weiyang paid special attention to family education , so his son Tian Mingsheng regarded his father as a role model since he was a child and was determined to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. Therefore, after the Korean War broke out, he went to the battlefield without hesitation.
In that bloody battle, Tian Mingsheng performed very bravely and was the first in every battle. However, the battle back then was so cruel that he was hit in the leg by an enemy and fell unconscious on the battlefield. Fortunately, he was rescued in time by his comrades. With the help of doctors, his life was saved, but he still lost his leg.
According to records, the organization arranged for him to return to China at that time, but the young fighter insisted on fighting. In order not to cause trouble to the organization, Tian Weiyang wrote a letter to his son, explaining that his son was his pride, but hoped that he would not act out of emotion. After getting his father's letter, Tian Mingsheng said goodbye to all the soldiers and chose to return home. After
returned, he did not choose to accept the job arranged by the organization because of his injury. Instead, he went home to work honestly and became a farmer for the rest of his life.
Finally, Major General Yan Fu was born in Liangshan County, Sichuan Province in 1911. As a rare intellectual among the grassroots commanders of our party, Yan Fu studied hard since he was a child. In 1929, he was admitted to the Department of Political Science of Mingli University in Chengdu, and in 1931 he went to Beijing to further his studies. Later he joined the Communist Party and began to work underground. During this period, he was arrested three times, but despite being tortured by the enemy, he remained firm in his revolutionary beliefs.
After being rescued, he first went to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University for further study, and later went to the Anti-Japanese Front to serve as the operational staff officer of the New Fourth Army's military headquarters. In the subsequent Anti-Japanese War and Liberation War, he fully applied theory to reality, and dealt severe military blows to both the Japanese and the Kuomintang.
Especially in the Battle of Central Jiangsu in 1946, attacked Taixing City. Yan Fu led his troops to tear through the enemy's iron barrel-like defenses, and fought a beautiful first battle in seven battles and seven victories that year. After that, he fought bloody battles to the last moment in the Battle of Laiwu in 1949, and made great achievements in this battle.
In 1950, he served as the commander of the 7th Artillery Division, led the 7th Division to fight in North Korea, and made extraordinary achievements, which was highly praised by Chairman Mao.
However, while he was fighting the Americans, his son quietly rushed to the battlefield. Yan Fu's son was named Yan Bangyi. He participated in the war in July 1951 and performed bravely on the battlefield, fighting with the American devils without any fear. Fortunately, Yan Bangyi escaped unscathed and chose to demobilize after the battle.
The above are representatives of the many children of high-ranking cadres at that time. Like Comrade Mao Anying, they rushed to the battlefield for their ideals. Their blood made up for the gap in weapons, and their blood created a miracle that required "God wearing a steel helmet" to go into battle...
