0177 Xisha Spirit: There are no bones left, and the spirit is immortalized in the flames

You always say that our army has endured provocations from the enemy, and then you question the combat effectiveness of the army.

But did you know about them?

The eighteen naval soldiers who died in the Battle of Xisha and were buried in the martyrs' cemetery on Xishachen Hangdao Island?

War always kills people.

They sacrificed, and they sacrificed heroically.

Who can remember them now?

"Shi Zao, the deputy commander of the 389 ship, a young man from Hunan Province, was born in 54, joined the army in 73, fought bravely in the Battle of Xisha and died honorably at the age of 20. Second-class meritorious hero of the republic, revolutionary martyr. Wang Liang remembered that the name of every martyr was clearly remembered.

After the sacrifice of the stone, his step-son was raised by his mother. The old mother is 80 years old and is still alive. ”

That year, the mother who learned of her son's sacrifice wiped her tears and said: "Not long after he joined the army, he was going to sea on a mission, and he was very seasick and dizzy. He said Mom, you don't have to worry about it, I just need to lie down on the bed, and it will be much better. I never dreamed that my son would be gone less than a year ago, and he hasn't turned 20 yet! ”

Wang Liang tried his best to restrain his tears, and there were some words that he couldn't help it.

"The reason why Shi Zao joined the army is that his family is too poor, so poor that he can't eat, and being a soldier is the best way out."

He joined the army with such a motive, but the crucible of the army changed his initial idea. In the Battle of Xisha Naval Battle, this deputy pilot soldier proved his absolute loyalty to the country with his life. ”

Wang Liang continued: "The sacrifices are all soldiers? Not really. 274 submarine hunting political commissar Feng Songbai. He joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1955 and the Communist Party of China in 1959. He was thirty-nine years old at the time of his death. ”

"The political commissar of the ship, at that time there was no military rank, regimental cadre."

In the fierce battle with the enemy, Feng Songbai was shot in the head, the back of his head was cut off by shrapnel, and he was bleeding profusely. He bandaged his wounds while continuing to fight, and eventually collapsed on his own battlefield due to excessive blood loss. ”

The tears were uncontrollable, aggrieved, and uncomfortable.

The back of the head was cut off by shrapnel, what kind of picture was that?

Some people will never experience it in their lifetime.

At that moment, Commissar Feng was thinking something.

With nearly twenty years of military experience, he must know that he is going to die, and he must miss his family.

But he did not forget, endured severe pain, and stuck to his battle position until he fell and died.

Where's his position?

Always on the deck of the 274 boat at the very forward.

Wang Liang doesn't care so much, he says it and says it happily.

"Political Commissar Feng has two daughters and a son, and his wife works as a teacher in a kindergarten at the naval base. Just after New Year's Day in 1974, he and his wife agreed to go back to their hometown for the New Year. But he didn't come back! He didn't come back! ”

"The organization approached his widow and asked what she needed, but his wife didn't ask for anything. Later, many people wanted to help her find another one, but they were all rejected by the martyr's wife. ”

She used her share of salary to raise her children and support the elderly of the two families, and her life was naturally hard. In 08, this strong military wife was awarded the title of "Outstanding Heroic Model Family" by the All-China Women's Federation. ”

Is this all made up?

No.

It's all true, it happened forty-four years ago.

Now, in ordinary days, who will remember them?

Perhaps, only the families of the martyrs will think every day of the year, every month: "If he returns triumphantly and the family is reunited together, how good and happy it should be to live that day." ”

But they didn't come back, and outsiders will never feel the pain of their families.

When a person dies, it is impossible to come back to life.

It's gone, it's gone, and it's never going to come back.

Think about it, in front of the widows of these martyrs, say: "The Chinese navy is not good, the combat effectiveness is not good." The only aircraft carrier is still ......"

How chilling they must have been when they said this.

Their husbands and fathers died on the sea of the motherland, and they are the glorious navy and the navy of the republic, so please be kind to them.

"There is also Zhou Xitong, deputy captain of the 274 submarine hunting submarine, a native of Guangdong Province, born in 40 years, joined the army in 60, died in 74, was thirty-four years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, and was a second-class meritorious hero of the Republic. Thirty-four years old, young life, great future, he also has a wife and children......"

"During the battle, Deputy Captain Zhou stood on the ladder of the helmhouse behind the captain, engrossed in conveying the order, and a 40-mm shell from the enemy ship hit him in the left front chest, penetrating the heart and piercing the back chest, and blood spurted out more than five meters from the bullet hole in the back chest, and he died a heroic death."

Five meters, how far is it?

If you remember, he has no regrets.

Here's the weight of the uniform.

"Wang Zaixiong, who was twenty-three years old at the time, was a soldier in the 389th cabin section."

"Because of its largest size, the 389 ship became the target of the enemy's key strikes, and not long after the naval battle began, the whole ship was shot in many places."

"The ferocious sea water poured in from the rear cabin, and the seriously injured cabin soldier Wang Zaixiong rushed through the fireworks and quickly came to the rear cabin to plug the leak. Because the warship was moving at high speed, the bullet hole was too violently flooded, and he couldn't block it with all his might, and the thick smoke of gunpowder choked him out, and finally died on the post of plugging the leak. ”

"First-class meritorious hero of the Republic."

Wang Zaixiong has a good voice and sings well, and often sings to his comrades. After the war, the badly damaged 389 ship was towed back, and in order to avoid sinking, it ran aground on an island. Later, it was towed back to Guangshi, where it was restored and returned to service. But Wang Zaixiong's singing could no longer be heard on the 389 ship. ”

......

Yang Songlin, the squad leader of the 389 ship's minesweeper electrician squad, braved the rain of bullets to deliver shells to his comrades at the gun positions on the deck during the battle.

The enemy fire was very heavy, and a shell hit the Yang pine forest on the deck, and his body was torn apart.

"There are intestines and meat of the martyrs of Yang Songlin everywhere, and after the battle, the comrades-in-arms only found his upper body, and the rest was forever left in the Xisha Sea."

"A first-class meritorious hero of the Republic, at the age of twenty-five."

"In the information age, technology is so advanced that it is not difficult to find photos of martyrs on the Internet. They all have young and handsome faces, and they don't lose...... Why don't people idolize them? Why doesn't anyone like them? Are they not doing well enough? Wang Liang muttered to himself, chattering, chattering.

Perhaps, this can pierce the hearts of netizens.

Wang Liang just wants these martyrs who sacrificed their young lives for the republic to be known to the public.

It's not as good as those popular stars, the old man thought about it, laughed, laughed.

Good, very good!

"The 389 ship chose to rush to the beach because of the serious damage and moved to the shore. Looking at the 389 ship, which was burning with flames and exploding one after another, the comrades-in-arms rushed in again. ”

"They don't worry, they don't worry about their sacrificed comrades, whatever they say, they have to find out their bodies."

"At great risk, they went back, and they found the upper body of martyr Yang Songlin, the middle of martyr Zhou Youfang's body, and the thighs and feet of several fighters......"

Brothers, who get along day and night, now, only mutilated limbs remain.

Cry, cry heartbreakingly.

It took two full days for the fire on the 389 ship to be completely extinguished, but the temperature on the ship was still very high.

"I cooled down by sprinkling water, suppressed tears, and continued to search for the remains of my comrades."

They were all burned to charcoal, and half a basket was filled.

"This is the war you have in mind, this is the Chinese Navy."
