In December 1993, a soldier named Xu Honggang was given a sacred and glorious title - "a battle hero who bravely acts."
Back then, in order to protect innocent women and children, he bravely fought against the criminals, and even got 14 times killed, he wanted to chase the escaped murderer. After the incident, his deeds were regarded as a role model for learning in the army, and he himself was even received by the leaders of the country at that time.
So, how dangerous was the situation at the time of the incident? Decades have passed, how is this heroic soldier doing?
The desperate battle between good and evil
On August 17, 1993, dust was flying near a cable bridge in Xunsi Town, Yunlian County, Sichuan Province. A bus hurriedly passed by a nearby highway, and another "ga" sound was a sudden brake.
embarrassing men fled quickly from the car. A figure covered in blood behind them was like a devil crawling out of purgatory, which made them extremely frightened.
That was a camouflage soldier - Xu Honggang. He was seriously injured and took bloody footprints. He tried hard to support his body and chased him 50 meters away in the direction of the murderer's escape until he was exhausted. The passengers on the
car were frightened by the blood and screamed. Someone took the time to call the police. Zhan Benfang, the deputy director of the tax bureau who happened to pass by, helped up the weak Xu Honggang on the side of the road.
At this time, Xu Honggang could no longer find a good skin on his body. After seeing Zhan Benfang, he reluctantly told the whole story of the matter, and pointed out the direction of the murderer's escape before fainting.
Zhan Benfang contacted the pursuit of the fugitive and arranged to send XCMG to the hospital. When the police followed the passengers in the car to learn more about the details, only knew what kind of shocking moment he had experienced in the car.
The passengers who took this bus came from all directions. No one noticed when they got on the bus. There were 4 people on the car with fierce eyes and glanced at every strange passenger.
Xu Honggang, who returned to the army after visiting relatives from home, sat in the back corner of the car. 's long journey in the scorching heat made people dizzy, and he couldn't help but dozing off like other passengers.
Just when a car of people were sleeping and drowsy, a noise woke up many people. It sounded like the terrified voice of a woman in .
"Please let me go, I didn't bring any money!"
Xu Honggang didn't hear clearly at first thinking it was a dispute between ordinary passengers. When he looked closely, there were three people standing in the middle of the bus, and two bearded men were coercing a young girl.
The big man was full of muscles and waved his fists from time to time. The passengers around him did not dare to show up. The passenger sitting next to Xu Honggang talked in a low voice. The two men of stared at this woman's blackmail and had been confronting each other for a while.
Two big men showed their fierce look at the girl. They cursed and asked her to hand over the money, but the girl might have no money and kept begging for mercy and was about to cry.
Seeing that the girl refused to cooperate, the two big men directly acted as a gangster . They began to speak frivolously at the girl.
"You are toasting and not eating the penalty for . If you don't take the initiative to get the money, then we two will help you get it for yourself..."
Seeing the two men playing tricks, the girl was frightened and protected her chest desperately, screaming in her mouth. kept looking around in her eyes, wanting to seek help.
But the two big men were full of deterrence, and the passengers around them did not dare to come forward rashly, and the driver did not notice the disputes behind them when driving in front.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xu Honggang, as a soldier, clenched his fists. Most ordinary people dare not care about this matter, but as a soldier, he has accusations and mission on his shoulders, and he must care!
Xu Honggang rushed up with a steadily, knocking the two strong men aside, protecting the girl behind him.
"Stop! Don't bully people!"
At first glance, the other party was wearing a camouflage uniform. The two strong men were stunned for a moment, but seeing that Xu Honggang was not tall and he was not strong, he was probably a recruit. was so fearless that they became arrogant again.
"Stop meddling in other people's business, can you beat us two brothers alone? Can you ask for a fight?"
These two people are afraid that they often do this robbery work, and they don't take it seriously at all for the soldiers. Seeing Xu Honggang protecting the girl, came up and slapped him twice.
The two slaps were really strong. Xu Honggang felt that he had tinnitus , but after a long period of hardship in the army, he immediately stood firm and refused to give in.
Seeing the corner of the warrior protecting her mouth bleeding, the girl felt distressed. She pulled Xu Honggang's clothes and faced with such two big and thick bandits, if she really couldn't do it, she would just accept it.
Xu Honggang did not give in. He warned the two again that considering that there were many passengers in the car, he did not want to fight them in the car, so he advised them to turn back.
Two big men who have always been abusive have no intention of repentance. They rushed over with their teeth and claws, and their fists and feet hit Xu Honggang like raindrops.
The two-on-one situation is indeed a bit tricky, but in order to protect the safety of the masses, Xu Honggang showed his unique skills. He has been best at fighting for several years in the army and is more than enough to deal with two bandits who have not been professionally trained.
In just a few strokes, two big men were captured by him and couldn't move. Xu Hong was just about to command the driver to pull over and stop the car. He took the two big men out of the car and handed over to the police. However, an accident happened again.
Behind Xu Honggang was not paying attention, two strong men with swords suddenly stood up. They were the accomplices who had just lost to the two.
Seeing that the two of them were defeated, they were very unwilling to accept it. They relied on their sharp blades and rushed towards Xu Honggang without any worries.
Although Xu Honggang is good at it, he has no eyes on his back after all. He was knocked down by one of them, and the other hugged his thighs directly. The sharp blades in their hands pierced into Xu Honggang's body frantically.
One, two swords... the entire 14 swords were cut, and the criminal's sharp blade was bleeding, almost all of them came to Xu Honggang's vitals.
Xu Honggang's chest was bright red, and he was stabbed by the criminal 8 times. One of them stabbed him in the lungs, causing a 4-centimeter wound.
The blood stained the camouflage uniform red, and the aisle and the surrounding seats were stained with blood. Xu Honggang was severely injured by the critical hit that broke into the ground. He struggled to get up, but felt that the strength was disappearing. The passengers in the car were frightened by the bloody scene. Everyone ran to the rear of the car desperately, shouting: "Murder!" The driver of heard a murder, and quickly stopped the car.
The four gangsters saw that the matter could not end. They might have killed the soldiers in anger. After the driver stopped the car, they didn't even have time to open the door, so they fled through the window and got out of the car.
The criminal was still holding a bloody blade in his hand. Xu Honggang, who was almost unconscious, was shaken to his eyes by the reflection of the blade. He suddenly realized that if they were just letting them escape, it might harm more people.
A sense of strength came out of my heart. Xu Honggang held up his body and chased him out of the car. After insisted on confirming that Zhan Benfang and the others knew the direction of the gangster's escape, Xu Hong was relieved and fainted.

How steel is made
Xu Honggang was sent to a local medical institution for emergency treatment. The doctor was unable to take action in the face of the blood-soaked camouflage uniform, and Xu Honggang was too seriously injured.
These 14 swords were almost broken, and even one stab was stabbed to the edge of the heart. Xu Honggang, who was in a coma, had already arrived at the Hall of Hell with one foot.
Yunlian County Government received the news of the incident of a bus stabbing. Xu Honggang sacrificed his life to serve the righteousness and shocked the leaders.
They immediately issued an order to save Xu Honggang at all costs, uses the best doctor to save people with the best medicine, and also catch the four murderers as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, good and evil will be rewarded in the end. After , the director and vice president of the county hospital were rescued for 4 hours in county hospital, Xu Honggang escaped from the gates of hell.
He bravely fought against the criminals and became a hero in the hearts of the people across the country because of news reports. His feat of sacrifice for justice made the masses extremely admire him. There were countless people who came to visit him during the hospital.
The people at that time were also very simple and knew that heroes needed nutrition when injured. Many people slaughtered the chickens that were still laying eggs at home, cooked chicken soup and sent them to the hospital. A wide range of nutritional supplements filled Xu Honggang's bedside.
Xu Honggang, who had just woken up, was very surprised. In his heart, he had just done his duty as a soldier. Unexpectedly, the gratitude of the people was like a fountain, which made him flattered.
His feat has also attracted many media interviews. When facing the reporter, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I am just an ordinary soldier. I think no matter which comrade meets, he will rush up, just like Comrade Kong Fansong..."
Xu Honggang, born in Yiliang County, Yunnan in 1971, heard about Kong Fansong's deeds when he was 19 years old in 1990.
At that time, Kong Fansong, the Minister of the People's Armed Forces, died in the fight against the criminals in order to protect the lives and safety of the people.
At that time, the people were deeply saddened by Kong Fansong's sacrifice. Xu Honggang was also moved by his spirit of self-sacrificing himself and secretly made up his mind to join the army.
The Xu family has been working for generations. When Xu Honggang's generation was only able to go to school, Xu Honggang, who had received education, was inspired by patriotism. He knew that only by the country and the national rejuvenation, his small family could live a peaceful and prosperous life.
After telling his family that he wanted to join the army, the Xu family's parents were unwilling to do so. After all, being a soldier was hard and dangerous. For the farmer who was safe, they hoped that their son would follow the farm.
But Xu Honggang still sticks to his ideals and ambitions, especially Kong Fansong's sacrifice, which greatly touched him. In December of that year, he signed up for recruitment, bid farewell to his hometown and embarked on the road to join the army.
The 127th Division of the 54th Army of Jinan Military Region is a well-known "Iron Army". Xu Honggang became a new recruit in the communication company and only then did he know how the name of this "Iron Army" came from.
training here is common, and training day by day is high-intensity day by day. The soldiers here in are cast into steel warriors with iron blood will.
In a year, Xu Honggang deeply understood what the mission of a soldier is. With the help of his comrades, he grew up quickly and not only became a soldier with excellent military qualities, but also was promoted to squad leader.
is tempered into steel. Xu Honggang, who has full scores in various skills, has won the title of "All-Outstanding Student" several times. He has also become the best among the same period and won the reputation of "hard bone warrior". During the years since serving in
, Xu Honggang not only has always demanded himself to high standards, but also paid great attention to uniting and helping his comrades around him.
Xu Honggang, who is not wealthy in his family, will save up little by little whenever he receives subsidies from the troops.
But once, he learned that his comrades-in-arms' family urgently needed help, and without saying a word, he gave the allowances he had finally saved to his comrades-in-arms.
Whenever he has free time, Xu Honggang will plunge into the book and he also taught himself acupuncture. Whenever his comrades in the training are exhausted, he will take the initiative to help everyone acupuncture and massage to relieve their fatigue.
took the initiative to stand guard during holidays, and his comrades were in trouble and freak out to help him send the hospital to do so. Xu Honggang did small things in obscurity, but made everyone admire his meticulousness. The leaders of good comrades like
soon noticed Xu Gonggang. After becoming the squad leader of , he also got the opportunity to join the party. However, Xu Honggang hesitated when he applied to join the party by .
"I have been in the army and it seems that I have really not made any contribution to the people. Maybe I have not met the requirements for joining the party..."
Xu Honggang, who is a child, trains harder. Whenever is about to take the task, he will take the initiative to stand up and contribute to the motherland and the people.
After a forest fire was put out, Xu Honggang ignored his personal safety and always stood on the front line. His hair and eyebrows were burned by the fire, and he never retreated.
"Such a tenacious style is not a loss for being the soldier of the 'Iron Army'!"
Xu Honggang has performed outstandingly in the heavy tasks many times. When he wrote the application for joining the party in 1993, he finally had the confidence. On July 23 of the same year, he gloriously joined Communist Party of China .
After three years of joining the army, he never forgot his original intention. He grew from a new recruit to an excellent soldier and also became a glorious party member.
Because he often helped his comrades stand guard and rarely went home in recent years, a few days after joining the party, the army approved him a leave and asked him to go home to visit him.
The elderly parents in the family were very happy to see the son of a handsome man. He had to return to the army to report after a few days of reuniting with his family.
But no one expected that he would encounter something like Kong Fansong on the way back to the army.
also faced the vicious criminals, and his resoluteness made him a "people's hero" like Kong Fansong.
insisted on the green mountains and did not relax
Water-like flowers and applause came to him. Under the reputation of Xu Honggang always cared about the whereabouts of the four gangsters.
Fortunately, the police finally caught them after a week of searching, and the stone in Xu Honggang's heart could finally land.
htmlRen Yonglin, the leader of the bandit, was sentenced to death, and the other three accomplices, Zhong Zhihe, Hao Conghu and Liu Shiyun, were also sentenced to death.
They may regret working in prison and did not listen to Xu Honggang's advice at the beginning.
On September 16, 1993, Xu Honggang, who was just a little more physically, was finally able to set off for the army. When the people along the way heard the news, they spontaneously came to welcome the hero back with honor. The length of the welcoming in the middle of the road was 2 kilometers away.
Xu Gonggang's deeds have been paid attention to by the army. he was awarded the first-class merit of , and he also won many honors such as "Heroic Warrior Who Makes a Brave", "National New Long March Assaulter" and so on.
On February 5, 1994, his deeds were passed down throughout the army, and everyone learned from his spirit of being a "people's guardian".
Xu Honggang, who was given many honors, was unable to extricate himself from falling into the halo. He clearly realized that this was just a journey of his firm belief in the belief of soldiers. Now it is time for him to throw away the halo and set off again.
Xu Honggang, who has been studying for many years, has discovered that as a modern soldier, cannot only know "martial arts" and "literary teachings" are also extremely important.
In September 1994, under the arrangement of the troops, he entered Jinan Army Academy to further his studies. As a person who has not graduated from high school, this period of study is the new Long March in his life.
2 years of further study, the boring and boring theoretical study made many people afraid, but for Xu Honggang, this further study is the trust of the organization, and "hard bone warrior" is "hard bones" everywhere!
Countless readings at night, countless times of shameless asking questions, Xu Honggang continued his "Iron Army" style, and became the "academic master" in the class.
Whenever he gets military training, Xu Honggang, who has not yet recovered, has received the care of his superiors and can not participate, but he always rushes to the first place.
"How can you be special when you are a soldier? Is it bad to take care of your health on the battlefield?!"
In the Army School, Xu Honggang learned wireless communication technology. After returning to the army, he worked as deputy commander of the missile company for three years. In 999, he was admitted to the Political Work Department of Nanjing Political College.
Here he studied for a master's degree. A junior high school graduate learned to write in English. For this reason, he only slept for 4 hours a day, and he pestered Liu Lu, a translator in his 70s, to ask humbly for advice.
and his comrades in class still remember this "big devil". They once suspected that Xu Honggang was a robot and did not have to sleep to get a leaps and bounds of growth in grades.
Even though 's schoolwork is so busy, Xu Honggang still did not forget to write. He scattered more than 500 articles in newspapers and magazines inside and outside the army. One of the articles in , which praised Lei Feng, "If Lei Feng is Alive", was also included in the military's "Chinese" textbook.
Xu Honggang also likes calligraphy in daily life, not like the elegant and agile as a calligrapher. Xu Honggang's pen is tough and full of military momentum. He said:
"Writing is like being a person. You must be serious and honest to be worthy of your heart."
Xu Honggang's cultural literacy has also shined with dazzling light through years of accumulation. In 07, he was absorbed by Writers Association and became an honorary dean of several calligraphy and painting academies.
An old comrade-in-arms who are doing business abroad once sent him an olive branch with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, but Xu Honggang smiled and declined. In his opinion, the honor is given by the Party and the people. Only by taking root in the military camp can he repay the motherland.
htmlFlood control in 998, Wenchuan in 2008, and 2015 major fires. Whenever the people need him, Xu Honggang will rush to the front line without hesitation.
Carrying sandbags and delivering supplies. Xu Honggang, who stands in the mud, is like an ordinary soldier. He never specializes in it, and he will always be the first one whenever there is danger.
Now 51-year-old Xu Honggang has been in the army for 32 years. He has fought against criminals with bare hands and served as a representative of the 15th National Congress. He is also enthusiastic about the out-of-school children who always bring warmth to them.
In September 2018, Xu Honggang, who was not young, volunteered to take root in Tibet and became the deputy political commissar of the Chamdo Military Sub-district.
The illness left in his early years made him feel chest tightness and shortness of breath when he first went to the plateau. However, this veteran resolutely insisted on guarding the frontiers of his motherland without hesitation.
Looking at the plateau, it was the journey of our ancestors who had climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed the grassland. Xu Honggang held the steel gun tightly and continued to protect this peace for our ancestors and the people.
Loyal to the Party and sincere to the people. Xu Honggang has always insisted on carrying the burden on the people. He and his comrades have built the Great Wall of Steel so that the people they guard can enjoy the peace of time.
Although we cannot hold guns with Xu Honggang and others to defend the country, we must also learn from his spirit of daring to dedicate and fearlessness, and contribute our own strength to the development of the motherland.
