Chapter 330 True Hero IV
In 1951, the Korean War broke out, and the flames of war burned to China, which was only a river away. In the face of the menacing United Nations Army, the soldiers of our volunteers were majestic and high-spirited, and began a vigorous war that decided the fate of China.
When Zhang Guofu's company entered the Korean War, it coincided with the autumn offensive launched by the enemy, and at that time troops from the United States, Britain, South Korea, and other six countries participated in the attack, equipped with more than 200 tanks and more than 300 large-caliber artillery.
Every battle is like the movie "Shangganling" depicted, with artillery fire, bullets raining, unusually cruel and bloody. In order to conquer a position, the United Nations forces used almost all the weapons that could be used.
Heavy machine guns, tanks, large-caliber heavy artillery, heavy aerial bombs, incendiary bombs, poison gas bombs, plus a sea of people charged, round after round, each round more ferocious than the last.
Every day on the battlefield, comrades in the company were wounded and died. The positions and the front were full of dead bodies, some of their own people, and many more of the enemy's, one by one, densely packed, tattered, and uncountable.
Zhang Guofu's company was ordered to hold the 354.6 heights, and after seven days and eight nights of brutal fighting, under the enemy's repeated wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, regardless of the cost of attack, the whole company suffered heavy casualties.
Due to the enemy's unusually ferocious artillery fire and tight air blockade, communications and supplies had long been cut off. Food, ammunition, medicine, and most importantly, drinking water are gone.
The only walkie-talkie that could communicate with the superiors had become a pile of parts, and the contact with the superiors had also been lost, and the situation of the position could not be reported to the superiors, and there was no way to request assistance.
At the end of the battle, Zhang Guofu was also seriously wounded, and the company commander asked him to immediately go to the division headquarters for help. At that time, everyone knew that this was a chance to live, and both wanted to give the opportunity to each other.
In the end, because Zhang Guofu was seriously injured. couldn't better participate in the battle, so Zhang Guofu returned to the division headquarters to report the situation and ask for reinforcements.
However, under the tight blockade of the enemy, it is difficult for a normal person to cross the blockade line, not to mention a seriously wounded person. This is a life-and-death task, in order to get in touch with his superiors, he has to fight.
He tied a wounded man to his back with a belt, and crawled out of the position with a rolling belt, and finally when he saw the division commander in a blur, he only had time to say: "Chief." We passed out ...... even "."
Subsequently, Zhang Guofu was urgently sent back to China for treatment of his injuries, and after many efforts, he finally survived tenaciously.
After Zhang Guofu recovered from his injuries, he was immediately listed as a key training object by the army and sent to an artillery military academy in the south for further study.
But at this stage of his life, which has a bright future and a proud spring breeze, he made an unexpected decision: demobilization, change jobs, and return to the local area.
Troop leadership. Leaders of military schools, leaders large and small, classmates, comrades-in-arms. persuaded one by one, but it couldn't make Zhang Guofu change his mind.
After Zhang Guofu unexpectedly returned to his hometown, the local government attached great importance to the fighting heroes of this hometown. He is often asked to give presentations and give speeches. Tell about his combat experience and heroic deeds.
Originally, the local government had already planned to arrange for him to take up a leading position in the county organs, but this great hero was bent on returning to his hometown in the countryside to farm!
But in the local area, he is very famous. Almost everyone knows him, he lives in a halo of glory every day, and he can't realize his desire to be a farmer at all, and he can't even live a normal life.
So after careful consideration, he changed his name to Zhang Guofu and secretly went to a city that was recruiting.
Since then, he has been working as a firefighter in the fire brigade of the local mining bureau. The fire brigade was later disbanded for various reasons, and he remained as a worker in the gunpowder factory owned by the Mining Bureau for more than 20 years.
For the past twenty years, he either made gunpowder, escorted explosives in stuffy tankers, and loaded and unloaded explosives, until he retired, dealing with death almost every day.
When Zhang Guofu arrived in this new city, he didn't bring any files, household registration or anything, let alone a certificate of meritorious service.
For decades, not to mention colleagues, friends, even his sons and daughters only knew that their father was once a soldier, and that's it.
Later, he told his children why he had returned. He said that the comrades-in-arms who had fought alongside him were gone, and he did not want to take advantage of the light of the comrades who had died to enjoy the honor they brought him.
The victory of every battle is never the credit of any one person, and without these so-called great achievements, I am an ordinary laborer, and I can use my hands to create a peaceful life.
When he was in the military academy, Zhang Guofu received many letters from all over the country, all kinds of female students and young people, many of whom expressed their admiration for heroes.
But he was simple, but he still married a peasant girl who was a childhood sweetheart in the same village and lived an ordinary and fulfilling life.
For a long time in the work, Zhang Guofu's family of seven lived in a small house of more than ten square meters, which was very difficult and inconvenient.
From entering the factory to finally retiring, Zhang Guofu has always been a fourth-level worker, and he has never been raised to the level of the organization. The five sons and daughters are also self-employed.
When the family was in the most difficult time, Zhang Guofu took his son to pick coal tigers (unburned coal) before dawn, just to save a little money to buy coal. Every day in class, he saves the food distributed in the factory, and he is reluctant to eat it and take it home for the children who are growing up.
The daughter, who has always felt that her father must have had an extraordinary experience, once passed by the city where her father's old army was located, and went to her father's old army to learn about her father's past.
In the honor room of the army, when the narrator told her about the "lonely hero" Zhang Guofu, she was stunned!
The person in the picture on the wall was so familiar, so familiar that she recognized it as her father at first glance. It's just that the father in the photo is so young, so young!
The narrator didn't know the surprise in the heart of the woman in front of him, and was still telling: Zhang Guofu's deeds are not only recorded in detail in military history, but also used to be in primary school textbooks with the title of "Lonely Hero Zhang Guofu".
Just after the Chinese New Year this year, Zhang Guofu often coughed, and at first his family thought it was a cold, so they bought some cold medicine for him to eat.
But after a few days, not only did the condition not improve, but became more severe.
That's when everyone sent him to a local hospital. When I went to the hospital for an examination, I found that there was water accumulation in my chest, and my condition was already very serious, and I needed to undergo surgery immediately.
But at that time, several of his children had already been laid off, and they only relied on a small business or went out to work to earn a little living expenses.
The family is all old and young, and the family life is very poor, which makes it difficult for them to come up with a sum of money for their father's treatment. In the end, in desperation, the daughter remembered her father's old army.
Li Yuan, the former commander of Zhang Guofu's regiment and later served as deputy director of the infrastructure engineering corps, and the comrades of the military history compilation group of the military department have been looking for this combat hero who has made outstanding achievements in battle, but suddenly disappeared, and this search has been for decades.
When Li Yuan learned the news of Zhang Guofu, he immediately took him from his home to Beijing, arranged for him to be admitted to the 301 Hospital, and invited many relevant experts for consultation.
After hearing about his deeds, the leaders of the General Political Department, the General Staff Department, and even the leaders of the Military Commission also came, and finally the general secretary and the prime minister also came to visit him separately and told him to recuperate in peace.
Every time Zhang Guofu said with tears in his eyes, in the past few decades, I just want everyone to forget me, but you still haven't forgotten me.
Every time the leader asks what other requirements are for the organization, Zhang Guofu's answer is always one sentence, I hope our country is doing well.
Soon, the Military Commission issued a document jiàn, and Zhang Guofu began to enjoy the treatment of deputy division. But he didn't enjoy this treatment for long, and his condition suddenly deteriorated!
The top experts in the hospital operated on him, and after opening his chest cavity, it was found that his lungs were unimaginable due to his long-term work in the explosives factory, coupled with the long-term artillery fire on the battlefield, especially during the seven days and eight nights in North Korea, when he inhaled a large amount of gunpowder smoke and dust.
The team eventually issued a critical illness notice, and there was no cure for the disease. Later, an expert asked if it was possible to ask the relevant leaders to contact Wang Yong in the middle of the village, this is a miracle doctor who can even cure cancer, maybe there is a way to cure this old hero?
This proposal was quickly approved by many people, and of course, some people objected, thinking that Wang Yong was just hype, how could it be that a local doctor in the countryside, I am afraid that a guy who does not even have a medical qualification certificate can overcome cancer, a stubborn disease of human beings.
However, this mention was still reflected to the superior leaders by the expert group, but what I didn't expect was that the superior leaders attached great importance to it.
Just in time for Vice Chairman Wan of the Central Military Commission, accompanied by some leaders of the General Political Department, came to visit the old hero, and after learning of this, he immediately made a report to the Central Committee.
As a result, the prime minister personally rushed over. The first general secretary also sent his own confidential secretary to visit the old hero and his family on his behalf, and they all began to contact Wang Yong in various ways.
Especially the general secretary, he knows a little bit about Wang Yong. He believed that as long as people still had a breath, Wang Yong would definitely have a way to pull the old hero back from Lord Yama.
sent his own confidential secretary because Chen Guangyuan and himself had been to the base in Banshan Village and knew Wang Yong. In this way, if Wang Yong has something, he can have someone who can communicate with him.
As a result, Wang Yong lived up to expectations, and in more than an hour, he cured the old man Zhang Guofu's illness. The experts of 301 Hospital are really convinced this time!
What a name it deserves! Miracle Doctor! Absolute miracle doctor!
But when they wanted to talk to Wang Yong about medical skills, they were told that Wang Yong had already left with Vice Chairman Wan, and now they didn't know where they were. (To be continued......)
