In front of the ox cart, a handsome and energetic young man strode forward on the dusty dirt road with vigorous steps.
The ox cart approached the young man gradually, and the old man said loudly to the young man, "Young man, where are you going?" Do you drive? "
The young man turned to the old man and said, "Uncle, I'm going to visit Fu Jia Xin Zhuang in Sanyanquan Building. I don't want to take the bus! This journey is nothing to me. "
After listening to the young man's answer, the old man smiled and said, "I am Fu Jia Xin Zhuang of Sanyanquan Building. Come on, young man! "
Hearing this, the young man said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandpa!" " "
After the young man got on the bus, the old man looked up and down and said, "I have lived in Fu Jia Xin Zhuang in Sanyanquan Building all my life. Why didn't I see you in the afterlife? "
The young man said with some shame, "Well, it's a long story. /kloc-left home to join the red army at the age of 0/2 and never came back. It is normal for you not to know me. "
After listening to the young man's answer, the old man paused, then looked at the dirt road ahead and sighed and said, "Alas, my son left home to join the Red Army at your age. He didn't even answer a letter after he left. Now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. "
After listening to the old man's words, the young man remembered his comrades-in-arms who fell on the road of charge and sighed deeply: "How many comrades-in-arms spilled their youth and blood on the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and their loyalty was buried everywhere in the green hills!"
The old man suppressed his yearning for his son for a long time and finally broke out. The old man said in a trembling voice, "You are all very well. Now that the land has been divided at home, life is getting better and better. I want to live well and farm well, so that I can be worthy of my son! Don't live up to the selfless dedication of your young people! "
The young man said, "Yes, we living people must build the new China well to be worthy of those lost spirits!"
The young man seemed to remember something and asked, "Uncle, was your son also a Red Army when he was at the age of Fu Jia Xin Zhuang 12 in Sanyanquan Building?"
The old man sighed and said, "Yes, 1935, he joined the army of Fu Jia Xin Zhuang in Sanyanquan Building. His name is Wang Fuzhi. At that time, he was 12 years old! "
After listening to the old man's words, the young man froze there. He looked at the old man in front of him carefully. When his nose was sour, tears were already rolling in his eyes.
Looking at the gray-haired old man in front of him, his trembling hands were at a loss and the burden fell from his shoulders. He immediately fell to his knees and shouted in a hoarse voice with all his strength: "Dad! I just help it! "
Hearing this, the old man quickly stopped the ox cart, but it didn't stop. He quickly turned to look at the young man in front of him, and hot tears flowed down unconsciously. The old man sobbed, "It's really you! My son! "
This young man is the founding major general Wang Fuzhi. At this time, he had just returned from the Korean battlefield. Why can't he recognize the old father sitting next to him? Today, let's meet the meritorious soldiers of the Republic.
1923 China was the last period of Beiyang government rule. Warlords everywhere scuffle, domestic and foreign affairs are difficult, and the people are in dire straits. In this era, ordinary people live like ants, and their eyes are all black. Trying to survive is the greatest luck.
In September this year, Wang Fuzhi was born in a poor family in Xinzhuang, Fujia, Sanyanquan Building, Zizhou County, Shaanxi Province. When he was five years old, his mother died because his family was poor and he had no money to see a doctor.
Since then, Wang Fuzhi has lived alone with his father and grandfather. In that tragic era, landlords imposed exorbitant taxes, and the natural environment was harsh, so the Wangs' family soon made ends meet. The young Wang Fuzhi had to go to the landlord's house to do short-term jobs to supplement his family.
Although his family was poor, Fuzhi Wang's father was a farmer with a long-term vision. He knows that knowledge can change fate. For the fate of Wang Change's husband, he squeezed Wang's tuition through his teeth and sent him to a private school nearby. Wang Fuzhi, who is sensible, knows that the opportunity to learn is hard-won and cherishes it very much. He is the most correct one in every class.
However, the economic conditions at home are really poor. Even though Wang Fuzhi was frugal and tried his best to provide for Wang Fuzhi's education, he had to drop out of school and go back to the landlord's house to help subsidize his family after studying in a private school for three months.
In that era when most people were illiterate, this short three-month study in a private school was extremely precious to Wang Fuzhi. Through this short study, Wang Fuzhi has seen the wonderful world outside through books and has higher expectations for life.
1935, with the establishment of the revolutionary base area in northern Shaanxi, a red whirlwind swept through the Loess Plateau. The Red Army led by Liu Zhidan fought local tyrants and divided fields for the people, and soon established a strong prestige in the local area. Wang Fuzhi, who is twelve years old, yearns for the people's team more and more.
Wang Fuzhi, who was oppressed by the landlord class in the old society since childhood, has a deeper understanding of the revolutionary policy of the Red Army. 1935 In the spring and summer, the Red Army led by Liu Zhidan fought fiercely with the Kuomintang army, and then went to Caoliujiagou, the hometown of Wangfu.
Wang Fuzhi, who heard the news, trotted all the way to the compound of Shaogong Camp. At this point, Shao Hongying is seriously organizing training under the guidance of battalion commander Wang Youming and instructor Wei Wu. Wang Fuzhi was fascinated by the stone next to him, and gradually it seemed that he was already a Red Army soldier standing in the team for training.
Just when Fuzhi Wang was fascinated, Wei instructor blew the assembly whistle, and the morning training came to an end. At this time, Wang Fuzhi suddenly got up the courage and walked beside the instructor Wei. He gave an exemplary military salute and said to the instructor Wei, "Chief, I also want to be a Red Army. I also want to fight landlords and Japanese devils and liberate all China."
Instructor Wei looked Wang Fuzhi up and down and said to him, "How old are you this year, little friend?"
Wang Fuzhi was afraid that he was rejected by Wei's instructor because he was too young. He had a brainwave and asked Wei's instructor, "Chief, how old do you think I am?"
At this time, although Fuzhi Wang was young, he was already 1.56 meters tall, so the instructor Wei carefully looked at Fuzhi Wang and said, "I think you should be fifteen or sixteen years old this year."
Wang Fu got off the donkey and went down the slope. He said naughtily, "Instructor, you really have a good eye. I am just sixteen years old this year. "
Instructor Wei was very satisfied with the clever young man in front of him, so he said to Fuzhi Wang, "Battalion Commander Wang has gone to the regiment for a meeting. When he comes back, come to our party branch for a meeting to discuss. Go home and wait for the news! "
Wang Fuzhi received the news that the Red Army's request was approved and trotted home, eager to share the good news with his old father. The first thing he said when he opened the door was, "Dad, I joined the Red Army."
Hearing the news, my father hesitated, and then asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"
Happy Wang Fudge didn't notice his father's subtle expression change, but raised his voice and said happily, "Dad, I joined the Red Army!"
Looking at the happy child, the old father didn't say much, sighed and turned into the house to help Wang Fuzhi pack. In fact, the luggage is just a pair of sandals and a roll of mat.
Before leaving, my father was silent and sent Wang Fuzhi to the village head. When leaving, my father seemed to summon up great courage and said to Wang Fuzhi, "Come home often when you are free."
Young children are always looking forward to a long journey, looking forward to the distance, and don't take their father's words to heart. They just gave a perfunctory "well" and ran away happily.
On July 1935 and 15, Fuzhi Wang officially became a recruit of the 78th Division of the Red 26th Army.
1In mid-September, 935, Chiang Kai-shek further stepped up his "encirclement and suppression" of the Shaanxi-Gansu Soviet area in line with the strategic policy of "doing things outside".
In order to smash the enemy's plot, under the overall planning of Xu Haidong, Cheng Zhengwei and Liu Zhidan, deputy head of the Red Fifteen Army, according to the fact that the 67th Kuomintang Army is scattered, the Laoshan Mountain area is continuous, and the trees are dense, which is convenient for the troops to hide, they are determined to take the strategy of encircling the main points and fighting far away.
In September of the same year 18, the Red 26 Army and the Red 25 Army were co-edited as the Red 26 Army 15 Corps, and Wang Fuzhi was incorporated into the Red 26 Army 15 Corps and the 78th Division 1 Regiment. He is the youngest soldier in the whole group.
Wang Fuzhi, who was still in the camp, had no chance to take part in the battle. However, with the progress of the battle, the besieged Kuomintang army gradually saw through our army's strategy and began to fight for the trapped animals, desperately breaking through, and its position began to gradually strengthen.
Although our army has a high fighting will, it is at a disadvantage in terms of equipment. If we let the enemy slow down and stick to his position, it will be bad for our army. In order to make a quick decision and not affect the progress of the campaign, Xu Haidong, then commander of the Red Fifteen Army, had to put all the troops that could be mobilized into battle, so Shao Hongying, who was originally a peripheral alert task, also went into battle.
The Shaogong battalion received the task of retaking a highland occupied by the Northeast Army. The whole battalion is divided into three echelons, namely, the circuitous echelon on both sides and the central breakthrough echelon. Wang Fuzhi, armed with a spear, was assigned to flank the attack echelon.
As soon as the battle started, the Northeast Army, which occupied the terrain advantage, saw a group of children with various weapons rushing towards them, instantly relaxed their vigilance, and was unaware of the flank attack echelon on both sides.
Just as the enemy focused all his attention on the central breakthrough echelon, Fuzhi Wang, who was in the flank assault echelon, rushed to the enemy position and saw a man with a pistol growling at the soldiers below. He concluded that this was the leader of the enemy.
Wang Fuzhi dashed forward and accurately thrust his spear into the palm of the officer's pistol. With the cry of the officer, Wang Fuzhi quickly picked up the dropped pistol, put it on the officer's forehead and shouted, "Don't kill it!" "
Soldiers who had no will to fight saw that the chief had been controlled, so they laid down their weapons one after another. In this way, Wang Fuzhi, who was only 12 years old, seized the first pistol in his life.
Wang Fuzhi's outstanding performance in the battle was highly appreciated by the chief. Shortly after the battle of Laoshan, Wang Fuzhi, who was quick-witted, was recommended by the chief to study surveying and mapping in the surveying and mapping training class of the Army Corps.
During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, Wang Fuzhi participated in major strategic battles such as the crusade to the east and the crusade to the west, and made many contributions in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. He moved to seven provinces with the army and made great contributions to the cause of national liberation.
In the War of Liberation, Wang Fuzhi, tempered by the war, fought bravely and grew into the head of a main regiment with his proud record. Following the Northeast Field Army, I participated in many tragic wars, from Songhua River at MINUS 40 degrees to Zhennanguan at MINUS 30 degrees, and fought in the north and south of the motherland. He made three meritorious deeds and gradually grew into a meritorious soldier of the Republic.
When the Kuomintang collapsed and the whole country ushered in liberation, Wang Fuzhi, who left home to join the army at the age of 12, also grew from a cowherd to a member of the People's Liberation Army. For the country and the nation, he paid his youth and blood without any regrets.
He owes his family. He left home to join the army on 15. Because of the busy military affairs, he didn't even have time to write letters. At this time, the whole country was liberated, and Wang Fuzhi wanted to go home and see his father who had been away for years.
Anything could happen. 1950 The Korean War broke out. Under the decisive decision of the CPC Central Committee, Chinese people's Volunteer Army is ready to resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend the country.
At this time, Wang Fuzhi was appointed as the head of the 343rd Regiment of the 5th Division of the 39th Army of the Volunteers. As the head of the prestigious Army Main Regiment, Wang Fuzhi was naturally duty-bound to join the first batch of teams participating in the Korean War.
During the Korean War, Wang Fuzhi participated in the first to fifth battles, consolidated his position in the spring and autumn, and launched a tactical counterattack in the autumn.
Wang Fuzhi also rose from the head of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to 1 15 division commander. 1953 After returning to China after the end of the Korean War, Wang Fuzhi called the fly his savior when telling his domestic comrades about his experiences in the Korean War. What happened? The story begins with a battle that Wang Fuzhi participated in when he was the acting division commander of 1 15 division.
two
1952 In the early autumn, 1 15 Division was ordered to hold the position east of the Kim Ri River in North Korea. In order to seize it, the enemy poured tons of shells at the volunteer positions every day. The loess in front of the position should be turned over several times a day, and there is no stone in front of the position. Stones were blown into pebbles by shells.
1On August 2, 952, Wang Fuzhi studied the situation in an underground bunker, facing a map. The enemy started shelling again, and the accustomed Wang Fuzhi didn't care. He kept calm in the cave and worked out the next battle plan with the staff.
Suddenly a dull noise exploded above the headquarters bunker, then the whole headquarters was buried in loess, and Fuzhi Wang fell into a coma under the impact of violent explosion shock wave.
When Wang Fuzhi struggled to wake up from the darkness, it was already dark, his ears were buzzing, and his body was too heavy to move.
After a short rest, Wang Fuzhi knew that he could not do nothing, so he tried his best to climb forward with difficulty. In front of him, there were broken rubble and rubbish.
At this time, there was no light source in the collapsed cave, so Fuzhi Wang had to constantly test with his hands, constantly pulling aside sundries with his hands and struggling forward.
Three hours later, Wang Fuzhi moved to the mouth of the cave with difficulty. Before he could be happy, he found that the hole had been blown down and blocked by thick loess, gravel and litter.
However, Wang Fuzhi did not give up. He beat the surrounding ruins with stones to remind his comrades outside the cave that he was still alive. However, due to the large area of cave collapse, the thick loess blocked Fuzhi Wang's cry and help.
What followed was more serious, because the hole was blocked, no fresh air could enter the hole, and the air in the hole became thinner and thinner under the consumption of Wang Fuzhi. Moreover, Wang Fuzhi has no food and water for survival. For an instant, he thought of death, and he had no fear. On the contrary, at this time, his heart felt more guilty.
Because at this time, he thought that the battle had reached the most critical moment. If his sacrifice in this narrow hole at this time affects the progress of the battle, which in turn affects the deployment of the whole strategy, then he has offended people through the ages. At the thought of this, Wang Fuzhi cheered up. He can't die, he wants to live!
At this time, the comrades outside the cave are also actively organizing rescue. Peng, commander of the volunteer army, also knew the news that Wang Fuzhi was buried in the cave. He immediately sent a telegram to 1 15 division, demanding: "We must do our best to rescue Comrade Wang Fuzhi. If he dies, he will also dig out his body and send it back to China for burial. "
Under the personal command of Cheng Guokun, the deputy division commander, the engineers organized rescue around the clock, but because the loess accumulated at the entrance of the cave was soft, the soldiers had to dig carefully to ensure that there would be no secondary collapse.
One hour, two hours ... twenty-four hours, thirty hours, there is still no sign of life in the cave. Just when everyone felt hopeless, a soldier found two flies flying out of the gap between loess and stone.
The soldier suddenly felt ecstatic. He immediately put down his shovel and shouted, "Look, there are flies. Two flies fly out of it. There is a hole in it. There must be oxygen in it. The teacher must still be alive! " Comrades, come and dig! "
Hearing this, all the comrades could not help cheering. Everyone was full of hope and began to dig carefully again. Sure enough, a soldier dug out the hole and found Wang Fuzhi lying at the hole. At this time, it has been 38 hours since Wang Fuzhi was buried.
1in may, 953, considering Wang fuzhi's physical condition, the volunteer army headquarters ordered Wang fuzhi to return to China to recuperate. Wang Fuzhi's first thought was the old father he hadn't seen in eighteen years.
So, after returning to China to arrange his work, he began to prepare his luggage for returning home. As a division commander, Wang Fuzhi has his own orderly and special car. However, considering that he was going home for private affairs, Wang Fuzhi could not use public resources casually, so he got on the bus and set foot on his way home.
The bus wobbled on the rugged dirt road, and Fuzhi Wang's mood could not help but return to the time when he joined the Red Army.
At this time, the Republic, which has just experienced the devastation of war, is in a state of extreme need, so the public transportation system only reaches the county seat. From the county seat to my hometown, I completely rely on walking. The distance from the station to my hometown is eight kilometers, but this distance is a piece of cake for Fuzhi Wang, a soldier.
Wang Fuzhi walked in his hometown land where he had not set foot for a long time, and looked at the busy farmers in the fields, as if he had returned to his youth at that moment. But the children who grew up in this land still have deep attachment to this land.
Just on Wang Fuzhi's side, enjoying the familiar taste of hometown, there was a clear whipping sound behind him, and then the scene at the beginning of the article happened. Wang Fuzhi reunited with his father in such a dramatic way after eighteen years.
Wang Fuzhi's father and son can't know each other. Actually, it is understandable. Wang Fuzhi grew up from a boy of 12 years old when he left home to a member of the Iliad of the Republic, and his voice, face and smile must have changed a lot.
Wang Fuzhi's father was exhausted because he had suffered too much in the old society, worked day and night and endured the exploitation of the landlord. At the age of 60, he really looks like an 80-year-old man. Wang Fuzhi can't recognize his father. After the father and son met, Wang Fuzhi took care of his father until his death.
Wang Fuzhi successively served as commander of Shanxi Military Region and deputy commander of Urumqi Military Region, and was promoted to the rank of Major General on 1964, which continued to shine for the military cause of the Republic. By the end of February, 65438+2020, Wang Fuzhi was one of only six founding generals. It is a "living fossil" that witnessed the glorious history of the Republic.
