65438-0946, joined the 47th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from his hometown.
1948 joined the party and served as monitor, platoon leader and deputy company commander. Only half a year after joining the army, 16-year-old Zhang Guofu captured a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang army alone in a battle.
1947 In May, the People's Liberation Army launched a summer offensive against the Kuomintang troops in the northeast, and Zhang Guofu captured Zhao of the Kuomintang alive. After the war, the newspaper reported this battle story with the title "16-year-old cowherd captured Zhao alive", which made him a celebrity of the independent third division and was once remembered.
On September 1948 and 12, the Liaoshen campaign started. According to Mao Zedong's instructions, "Chiang Kai-shek can't leave the Northeast in this decisive battle". When Zhang Guofu attacked Hu Jia shack, the enemy's sniper fire was very fierce, and dozens of charges caused heavy casualties. When the troops sounded the signal again, the nearest enemy, Zhang Guofu, threw a grenade, which frightened the enemy commander and finally captured the shack in Hu Jia. After the war, Zhang Guofu was praised as a "little hero" by his teachers.
At the hero meeting of 1950, Zhang Guofu attended the meeting as one of the 78 special war heroes of the whole army. President Mao Zedong pulled Zhang Guofu out of the delegates and let him stand side by side with Premier Zhou Enlai.
195 1 year, Zhang Guofu entered the DPRK with the 47th Army, which coincided with the large-scale "autumn offensive" launched by the enemy. Under the repeated bombing of the enemy, all the soldiers of the company were killed except Zhang Guofu, and Zhang Guofu held his ground for seven days and eight nights without letting the enemy attack the highlands. In this battle, Zhang Guofu, who was seriously injured in the chest, was sent back to China to recuperate in Changchun.
1952 After his recovery, Zhang Guofu returned to the army and was sent to Hengyang Military Academy in Hunan for further study. However, before the training was over, Zhang Guofu finished his further study in the military school ahead of schedule and returned to the local area. While studying in the military academy, Zhang Guofu received many letters from female college students from all over the world expressing their love for heroes, but Zhang Guofu married Ren Baolian in the same village. For a long time, Zhang Guofu's family of seven lived in a bungalow of 12 square meters. From entering the factory to retirement, he is a level 4 worker. Most of the five children are self-employed. In the most difficult time, Zhang Guofu took her teenage son to pick up coal gangue before dawn, saving the food sent from work and taking it home for the children.
1986 Retired from the army, when Zhang Guofu arrived in Hegang, he didn't bring any files, household registration books, demobilization certificates and meritorious service certificates, so he concealed his exploits and became an ordinary worker. For decades, even colleagues in the unit and his children only knew that he was a veteran and knew nothing else.
From 65438 to 0997, Zhang Guofu often coughed. After going to the hospital for examination, I found water in my chest. After hearing the news, Mu Jianhua and Li Yuan quickly took Zhang Guofu back to Beijing and arranged for him to live in 30 1 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army. During Zhang Guofu's hospitalization, the army leaders repeatedly asked him what his organizational requirements were. Zhang Guofu only replied in one sentence: "I hope our party and country are good."
In July 1998, 1 1, Zhang Guofu, who enjoyed the treatment of deputy division commander for a short time, closed his eyes forever at 30 1 hospital. According to the opinion of the Third Headquarters of the People's Liberation Army, Zhang Guofu's ashes were to be placed in Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, but Zhang Guofu said before he died that he wanted to put them back in Hegang. His ashes were placed in the Martyrs Cemetery of Hegang Funeral Home in his second hometown.
1947 In May, 16-year-old Zhang Guofu captured a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang army alone in a battle. With the title "16-year-old cowboy captured Kuomintang Zhao alive", he rushed into the newspaper to report this legendary battle story, and suddenly became a celebrity of the third division of the independent regiment, and was remembered as a great achievement.
1950 In September, after the national liberation, Zhang Guofu, as one of the 78 special war heroes of the whole army, attended the first national war hero congress with honor. During the meeting, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Zhu De toasted the heroes one by one and cordially encouraged them to "study hard, work hard and make new contributions". Comrade Zhang Guofu recalled that during the meeting, Mao Zedong also invited four heroes, including Zhang Guofu and Guo Junqing, to his residence for dinner.
195 1 year, Zhang Guofu entered the DPRK with the 47th Army, just as the enemy launched a large-scale "autumn offensive" to attack our army's Linjin River area. At that time, the "United Nations Army" took part in the attack with the American 1st Division, the American 3rd Division, the American 25th Division, the Commonwealth Division, the Li Chengwan Army 9th Division, the Thai regiment, the Turkish brigade and the Greek battalion, as well as more than 200 tanks and more than 300 cannons. Every battle is as cruel as Shangganling. Zhang Guofu's company held on for seven days and eight nights in the highland of 345.6. Under the heavy bombardment of the enemy day and night, all the company soldiers were killed except Zhang Guofu, but the enemy was not allowed to attack the highlands in the position where Zhang Guofu stood alone.
In this battle, Zhang Guofu, who was seriously injured in the chest, was sent back to China to recuperate in Changchun. For decades, not to mention colleagues in the unit, even his children only knew that their father was a veteran and knew nothing else. After receiving treatment and rehabilitation in Changchun, Zhang Guofu returned to the army and was sent to Hunan Hengyang Military College for further study. However, before the training was over, Zhang Guofu finished his further study in the military school ahead of schedule and returned to the local area.
