The head of the army, Ma Peng, confessed to his relatives, and shocked everyone
One day in 1963, a few cars slowly drove into a remote and ordinary village in Inner Mongolia—the couple had never seen such a scene. It’s a rare thing for the villagers. There is no other reason, but the village is too remote and inconspicuous, and no major incident has happened in many years. When everyone was talking about these cars that suddenly broke the tranquility of the village, they saw a man in military uniform stepping out of the car.
The villagers were amazed, but when they looked at the other party's military uniform, they let go of their precautions, and slowly walked around and asked if there was anything wrong with the other party's sudden arrival in their village. The person headed by suddenly asked the opposite: "My fellow villager, is there a man named Yu Shuilin in the village? Do you know where his home is?"
Zhai Wenqing
hear me The villagers were all taken aback to the question of the people coming, and then replied in a puzzled way: "Hello, hello, there is indeed a man named Yu Shuilin in our village, but what are you looking for? He is from our village. The homeless man also had his arm broken. He only has basic ability to take care of himself and can't do heavy work. The village cadres can't stand it, let him watch the horses in the village. Well, he now lives in the stables of our village. "A villager said, and pointed his finger in the general direction of the stable.
The person who got off the bus lightened his eyes when he heard that, and after thanking him, he hurriedly got on the bus and headed to the stable. But everyone intuitively felt that something big was about to happen, and they rushed to the stable where the tramp lived.
When the group of people rushed to the stables, they saw that the shed in front of them couldn't block the cold wind at all. In the dark and obscure shadows, they could only find it hard to identify a tattered quilt with a bump. Uneven and broken iron pot-not even a decent bed. At this time, the stable is leaking wind from all sides, and a one-armed man is facing away from the crowd, adding grass to the stone trough to feed the horses in the bleak cold wind.

The person who got off the car at first saw it, and the man in the stable shouted: "Yu Shuilin! Where have you been so many years? It took me a while to find it, so I am now nesting here!" The homeless man who was concentrating on feeding the horse heard the movement and turned his head, revealing his unkempt front face. He looked at everyone, and then at the person shouting at him.
"Instructor Zhai?" The tramp was stunned for a moment, and then excited again: "Instructor Zhai! Is it really you? How did you find this place?"
The person who was called Instructor Zhai by Yu Shuilin , It was General Zhai Wenqing, the former deputy commander of the 40 army . After hearing this, everyone looked at Zhai Wenqing, who was all righteous in military uniforms, and then turned to look at Yu Shuilin, who was still holding the horse-feeding tool in his unkempt and unkempt hands, and even wondered how these two seemingly sloppy fights. Is there any contact for people who are less than one piece.
A village cadre finally couldn't bear the question, and asked Zhai Wenqing: "Chief, what are you looking for this homeless man in our village for, and what does he have to do with you?" Even if he said excitedly: "He is not a homeless man, he is the first-class hero of to fight against the US and Aid Korea ! It is the soldier I brought out with my own hands!"
Hearing this sentence, everyone was surprised and subconsciously. Look towards Yu Shuilin. They never expected that this one-armed homeless man who had lived in the village for many years was actually a fighter to resist the US and Aid Korea, or a soldier under the commander. After so many years, the chief has not forgotten, and even personally drove to this remote village to find someone.
So what happened that year,What made this former glorious warrior fall to such a point, he has become an unkempt, tramp that everyone fears to avoid? Could his arm also be lost on the battlefield back then?
So time went back to 1925, the beginning of everything.
The situation is grim, the resistance to US aggression and aid to Korea
was born in Shuilin, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia in September 1925. After the September 1st Incident in 1931, my country began the War of Resistance against Japan. It can be said that Yu Shuilin has always lived in the shadow of the war of Japanese aggression since he can remember, and because of this he has a deep hatred of the invaders and a deep obsession with defending the motherland. However, when 22-year-old Yu Shuilin signed up to join the army in 1947, my country had already won the war of resistance against Japan. He also failed to drive out the evil invaders himself.
On October 1, 1949, New China was founded, and the whole country cheered and celebrated this great festival. Yu Shuilin thought that the shadow of the war was finally completely dispelled from his motherland, but he did not expect that in 1950, the civil war broke out on the Korean peninsula, and smoke drifted across the Yalu River, which was quite likely to spread to the north of our country.

The war broke out on the Korean Peninsula, but it was just a war on the three-eighth peninsula near the 19span. In order to guarantee its own interests on the Korean peninsula, the United States openly intervened shortly after the outbreak of the war. At the same time, under the guise of "military aid" to the Korean War situation, they sent troops and led the army into the Korean Peninsula.
Soon, with the assistance of the US army, the Korean army returned to the north of the 38th parallel in a relatively short period of time. The North Korean side thought that the United States would stop interfering after returning to the North Korean Peninsula. However, the United States did not expect to stop there, and even wanted to take this opportunity to expand its power to the entire Korean Peninsula.
This situation is very serious for our country. North Korea is adjacent to my country, separated only by the Yalu River. Once the United States puts its power in the entire Korean peninsula and acts in the American style, it is bound to do a series of things that are detrimental to our country's interests.
Our country has issued warnings to the United States many times, but the other side has repeatedly ignored them. They have stepped into our borders many times and even bombed Dandong, our country with artillery shells, seriously threatening the territorial security of our borders.
On June 28, 1950, Chairman Mao made a public speech. In this speech, Chairman Mao strongly condemned the Americans' vain attempt to invade and occupy the Korean Peninsula and interfere in our internal affairs. On July 6th of the same year, Premier Zhou Enlai also issued a statement stating that he strongly opposed the resolution of the United Nations led by the United States to support South Korea.
However, in the face of the severe statement and condemnation issued by our country, the United States did not take it seriously, and even thought it was just a manifestation of our country's bravado. Since then, the U.S. military has crossed the Yalu River many times.
On October 8, 1950, after carefully considering the request for support from the North Korean side, China appointed Peng Dehuai as the commander-in-chief of operations and led the mighty Chinese People's Volunteer Army to the Korean Peninsula.
Resisting US Aid Korea
On the 25th of that month, the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea officially kicked off.
Yu Shuilin joined the battle,Fighting Heroic
The story goes back to our hero Shuilin. After he made the decision to resist US aggression and aid Korea in my country, he took the initiative to sign up for the Chinese People's Volunteers to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and was assigned to the 3rd Battalion and 8th Company of the 352th Corps of the 45th Army.
In the following days, they followed a large force across the Yalu River and boarded the Korean peninsula; under the command of Peng Dehuai, they supported the Korean army and faced the guns and ammunition of the US army. At that time, the People’s Republic of China had just established its first anniversary, and it could not keep up with the United States in terms of military equipment. Every victory in a war was based on the flesh and blood of every soldier, and it was hard-won victory.
Yu Shuilin experienced no fewer than dozens of battles in the next four months, and it was one of the " cross-country counterattack " that made him truly show his head.
On January 25, 1951, United Nations launched a large-scale attack on Seoul under the command of the commander-in-chief of the US Eighth Army. Deng Hua commanded the 39th, 40th, and 42nd Corps and 66th Corps counterattacked towards Hengcheng. In addition, the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Regiments of the Korean People’s Army, commanded by Jin Xiong, also launched a counterattack in the direction of Hengseong. Thus began the Hengcheng counterattack.

The third battalion in Shuilin received the order to go to the rear of the US army to seize the high ground and block the enemy’s back. Zhai Wenqing, who was the instructor of the 3rd Battalion at the time, moved quickly and led the 3rd Battalion to his destination.
Waiting until the enemy's strategic position is in front, they discovered that the enemy force is a mecha artillery battalion, with military equipment several times stronger than their own. After seeing the opponent, Zhai Wenqing quickly ordered the troops to ambush on the spot, and carefully observed the enemy troops to prepare for combat.
The mecha artillery battalion in front of them has more than one hundred armed vehicles, two tanks, and thousands of soldiers. Everyone on the scene clearly understood that if the artillery battalion was allowed to go to the front line of the battlefield, it would cause a severe blow to our army. It may even become a turning point that affects the victory or defeat of the war. So everyone gritted their teeth and waited quietly for the enemy to enter their own range.
When the time was right, Zhai Wenqing gave an order and everyone aimed their firepower at the enemy. At that time, the 8th Company where Yu Shuilin was in was fighting head-on with the enemy, while the Volunteer Soldiers of the 3rd and 7th Company ambushing on both sides occupied the high ground to suppress the enemy's firepower.

At first, the US army was ambushed and caught off guard, and instantly confused his hands and feet. Several armored vehicles in front of the team were scrapped under the flames of war, and the situation was chaotic. But soon the enemy reacted quickly and began to organize counterattacks under command, and drove two tanks to madly beat our personnel in an attempt to rush out of the Chinese Volunteer’s defense line under heavy artillery fire.

In fact, our bullets and grenades do not do much damage to the tank. They hit the hard shell of the tank like nails on the skin, leaving only Several shallow traces. If you want to cause substantial damage to the tank, you can only rely on anti-tank grenades.And it needs to be mounted on the track of the tank.
The 8 company in charge of the frontal attack now only has two anti-tank grenades, and the enemy is still relying on tanks to counterattack frantically, and they will soon highlight their line of defense. If you don't seize the opportunity, not only will the 3rd Battalion itself be difficult to protect, but it will also greatly affect the battle front. At this moment, Yu Shuilin took the initiative to stand up and asked the squad leader and Zhai Wenqing for instructions, hoping to entrust him with the task of blowing up two enemy tanks. The two of them considered it again and again, and still agreed to Yu Shuilin's request, and handed him the only two anti-tank grenades in the company.
With a firm face, Yu Shuilin took the grenades, put them in his rice bag, and approached the enemy's two tanks without looking back. The two sides were still fighting fiercely, and gun smoke filled the battlefield. With the risk of being hit by a stray bullet, Yu Shuilin moved flexibly on the battlefield and kept approaching the enemy's first tank.

He found the grenade next to the grenade in the tank when he was taking out the grenade from the sack of the tank. The rope was too tight to open. The time didn't wait for anyone, Yu Shuilin quickly tore open the rice bag, took out an anti-tank grenade from the breach, and quickly climbed up the trench and stuffed it on the tracks of the enemy tank.
Just as he turned back to hide in the trench, a loud and earth-shattering noise exploded on the battlefield-the tank's tracks were blown up, and there was no way to continue moving. As soon as the enemy in the tank wanted to climb out of the tank, they were shot and killed by the volunteers who had been lurking for a long time.
The remaining enemy forces knew when the grenade exploded that someone was carrying an anti-tank grenade and the target was the two tanks. Therefore, based on the source of the explosion, they quickly speculated that it was the location of the water forest,Part of the firepower was concentrated.
But unfortunately the first tank has been blown up, the enemy’s firepower has declined, and we have also seized the time to increase firepower. As a result, the enemy's offensive weakened and there was a tendency to retreat. Yu Shuilin took the opportunity to rush out of the trench and hide by the wreckage of the tank to observe the battle.
The situation was anxious, but Yu Shuilin had an idea, pulled a normal grenade and threw it to the second tank. Taking advantage of the smoke exploded by the grenade, he dodged to avoid the enemy's attack and successfully approached the target, and then an anti-tank grenade was stuffed into the track. There was another loud noise, and the tracks of the second tank were also successfully blown up. While the people in the tank were climbing outside, they were blocked by Yu Shuilin and an ordinary grenade guarding the exit.
Yu Shuilin blew up two tanks and successfully completed the important task. But his success made the enemy angry and angered, so countless artillery shells and fire greeted him frantically. Even though Yu Shuilin had tried his best to avoid and ran back to his camp, his right arm was still injured by the artillery fire and bullets.
But after a simple dressing, he rejected the suggestion to rest on the battlefield to recover from his injuries, and returned to the battlefield with a gun to kill the enemy. During the twenty minutes he continued to fight, blood ran through his right arm, unable to hold the barrel of the gun, so he threw a grenade with the intense pain that he had endured.
During the pursuit, he also encountered eight single enemy troops. He roared, and the other party saw that he was covered in blood but still had an angry look on his face, and immediately raised his hand to surrender, not daring to resist at all. So he guarded the eight prisoners and waited until the large army arrived, and fainted because of his injuries until he saw Zhai Wenqing handing over the eight prisoners.
Captive
The Hengcheng Counterattack was launched after the Chinese People’s Volunteers had conducted three consecutive battles, without rest or any supplements.It is a very important counterattack.
lost his right arm and Yu Shuilin left the army sadly
When Yu Shuilin woke up, he found himself lying in the battlefield hospital. And the right cuff was empty-his right hand was injured too badly and could not be saved. When the Korean War ended, Yu Shuilin returned to his motherland. Based on Yu Shuilin's brave performance in the "Hengcheng Counterattack", the party organization awarded the opponent the honorary titles of first-class hero and second-class combat hero.
But Yu Shuilin was not very happy. He felt that he had lost his right arm and was useless in the army. Staying there would only become a drag on the team. So after registering, I quietly left and got on the train to my hometown. No one expected his departure, but thought that he could see this comrade-in-arms fighting side by side the next day.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Yu Shuilin is gradually forgotten by people, but there is always one person who has not forgotten and is still looking for him. This person was Zhai Wenqing, and he couldn't figure out why Yu Shuilin had to leave so quietly. He searched for a long time, but only knew that the other party was from Rehe. That's it.
But Huang Tian paid his attention. He finally found this comrade who had been missing for ten years in front of the stable. He watched the other party's suffering due to his disability over the years, shed two lines of tears, hugged Yu Shuilin tightly, and solemnly patted the other party on the back.
The local government was shocked after learning of Yu Shuilin's deeds, and quickly repaired his house, actively helping him solve the difficulties in life. The two old comrades-in-arms Yu Shuilin and Zhai Wenqing reconnected.
Until Yu Shuilin died later, Zhai Wenqing personally helped him manage the funeral affairs, and the story of a generation of fighting hero Yu Shuilin came to an end.
