Dear old heroes are all dead now, and the last founding lieutenant general, Zhang zhen, also died on September 3, 20 15 at the age of1kloc-0/. This day is also a special day: a military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the world anti-fascism.
On the battlefield, General Zhang zhen didn't take out the bullet until eight years after he was shot. Considering the protracted war and the bloody sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms, he did not choose to seek medical treatment after being shot, but stayed on the battlefield to suffer. He not only took part in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression himself, but also let his four sons join the army to serve the country. Thanks to his father's example, all his sons became generals.
Later generations called Pingjiang "one of the cradles of China Revolution and Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants". There are 52 founding generals and more than 70 provincial and ministerial cadres here, which is a famous general county.
Zhang zhen was born in a poor peasant family in Pingjiang, Hunan.
At that time, China was in a state of war and was humiliated by the great powers. However, many Chinese sons and daughters actively participated in the revolution and worked hard to build a great new China without being bullied.
Zhang zhen was born in a poor family, and he was influenced by the revolutionary war in his hometown. /kloc-joined the Scout League in his hometown at the age of 0/2 and was appointed as the deputy head.
Later, a series of revolutionary movements such as the Autumn Harvest Uprising broke out in Pingjiang. Zhang zhen also exercised his ability in these struggles and strengthened his revolutionary confidence.
1930, Zhang zhen, who was only 16 years old, finally got his wish and became a soldier of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants. In the same year 10 joined China.
193 1 year, young Zhang zhen served as the political commissar of the Red Army Company. When our army was resting, the enemy suddenly attacked. He calmly commanded the battle and defeated the enemy with fewer.
After that, he entered the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University under the organizational arrangement, where he systematically studied military and political theory education. From then on, he not only had a patriotic heart and fearless courage, but also a mind armed with knowledge, which laid the foundation for his future success.
Zhang zhen not only has theoretical knowledge of war, but also has rich operational experience. Once formed the cavalry of the New Fourth Army with the martyrs of Peng Xuefeng. They spent countless thoughts and finally trained the cavalry battalion successfully.
In the 1942 battle of Shashanji in Hongze Lake, the cavalry battalion went into battle for the first time, and it took a battalion 9 minutes to destroy more than 300 people, which shocked and inspired everyone. Since then, the cavalry regiment has become the most powerful weapon of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army. As long as the cavalry regiment fights, it will surely win the battle.
However, in any war, there will be bloodshed and sacrifice. 1September, 944, in a battle in Xiayi County, Peng Xuefeng martyrs who rushed to the front were unfortunately shot, and the bullet hit the key parts, and finally died heroically.
In February of the following year, Zhang zhen was also hit by a bullet in the battle. Fortunately, his life was not in danger, but the bullet tortured him for eight years.
1In August, 953, Zhang zhen went to Qiao Yanshan Plateau for a field trip, but unfortunately, a car accident happened on the way. He was then rushed to the hospital. During the treatment, the doctor found a bullet in his scapula.
The doctor carefully took out the bullet and handed it to Zhang zhen, but he learned from his mouth that the bullet had been in his body for eight years.
The doctor was shocked by his perseverance. Foreign bodies embedded in meat can make people feel unbearable pain, not to mention small bullets. It is conceivable that this bullet must have tortured him from time to time in the past eight years.
Zhang zhen took the bullet, gave it to his wife, and told her to take good care of it so that the children could see it later. In this way, this bullet became a unique family heirloom.
Speaking of this bullet, we have to go back to 1945. In February of this year, the Japanese puppet troops stationed in Xuzhou besieged the anti-Japanese base areas in Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu, and Zhang zhen led a 3/kloc-0 regiment and local troops to ambush the enemy in the Zulaolou area.
Zhang zhen and his comrades had been waiting here for many days when the puppet troops entered their ambush circle. When the order to start fighting sounded, our army immediately launched a fierce struggle with the enemy.
At this time, Zhang zhen is observing the enemy at the front. He was quickly exposed to the enemy's sight with a telescope, and a bullet hit his shoulder, bleeding profusely in an instant.
His comrades-in-arms asked him to transfer to the rear headquarters, but it was at the most critical moment of the battle that he never retreated to the rear, allowing the medics to simply dress up and continue to command the battle.
At this time, on the eve of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, all kinds of affairs in the army were busy, and he did it himself, too busy to take care of the bullets in his body.
After that, his shoulder often hurts, and the doctor gave the result that the bullet must be removed surgically. But when Zhang zhen heard that he needed an operation and had to rest for at least a month after the operation, he immediately rejected the doctor's advice.
In this way, a delay is eight years, during which his shoulder has been suffering from severe pain.
In his life, General Zhang zhen participated in numerous wars and made numerous military exploits.
He can raise his gun against the enemy, or he can be emotional and rational. Without bloodshed, he disarmed more than 800 bandits and recruited them into the ranks of the New Fourth Army.
During the interval between battles, he took the time to sum up all his combat experience, and wrote articles such as After the Crusade, Anniversary, On the guerrilla experience of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Preliminary Military Summary of the Three-month Anti-stubborn Struggle and Future Tasks.
His hero has a reputation, and his son is not arrogant. His four sons are all generals, and one of them is still a general. His sons are so promising, in addition to Zhang zhen's exemplary role, but also related to his strict requirements for his sons.
He made a rule for his family: under no circumstances should he act in the name of Zhang zhen, take advantage of Zhang zhen's influence and reveal his relationship with Zhang zhen. Do not accept any special services and care, others give gifts or public funds to eat and drink, or transfer from other jobs. You can't take the bus for personal reasons, and you can't gamble and other activities.
Under the strict requirements of Zhang zhen, the sons followed their father's wishes and all chose to join the army, and made contributions to becoming generals.
As the founding general, Zhang zhen is one of the few people who live long. He lived 10 1 years, and was the last founding lieutenant general to die.
2065438+On September 3, 2005, a military parade was held to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the world anti-fascist war. General Zhang zhen passed away. Perhaps, he is very happy, this prosperous time is as he wishes, as well as the wishes of thousands of heroes who fought and sacrificed for this prosperous time in Qian Qian during the war years.
Because these millions of heroes are not afraid of sacrifice, we have peace now. Only by cherishing and working harder can this peace be passed down forever and ever, and their original bloodshed and sacrifice will not be in vain.
