Li Fengyu is worthy of being called a "red herald".
Du Ziyuan. In the 1962 Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack, the Indian army began to militarily invade the Line of Actual Control of our country on the north side of the "McMahon Line" in August.
The Shannan Sub-district, the Second Frontier Regiment, which bore the brunt of the attack, organized a crack detachment to confront the invading Indian army in accordance with the instructions of the military region.
In the confrontation between the two armies, it demonstrated the sacred and inviolable nature of our country's territory and the refusal to give up an inch of land, and also demonstrated the iron will and determination of our army to defend the motherland and "if anyone offends me, I will not offend anyone, and if anyone offends me, I will offend others", and won the diplomatic initiative for the country, thus winning a great victory in the first stage from the confrontation on September 9 to the battle of the bridge at Kejielang.
Victory went to the commander of the regiment and the squad under its leadership. They have smooth military orders, strict discipline, mutual coordination, wit and bravery, and leadership wisdom, and their contributions are indispensable!
But for a great victory, without the skillful skills, timely, and accurate "heralds" of a "red herald", the commander is like a blind man.
42 days, each report nearly 10,000 words, translated with a password, there can be no mistakes. It's hard to imagine that with only one confidential officer, what I thought was completely impossible was possible!And there's never been a mistake. Not to mention 42 days and nights, day and night, day and night, no one replaced. There are many people, small space, crowded, noisy, there is no quiet environment for decoding and verification, and when you are tired, it is easy to be confused. Not to mention the decoding of 10,000 words, even reading 10,000 words is also difficult.
I have read the book "Records of the Sino-Indian Border Counterattack", in which there are many meritorious services and heroes, but a small detachment like the Second Frontier Regiment does not seem to have a high level of collective meritorious service and a large number of people. In addition to the second-class meritorious service, the squad of the Second Frontier Regiment has 6 individual second-class merits, 10 third-class merits, and Wu Yuanming's first-class combat heroes. It's a pity that this period of the history of the Honor List War does not seem to have been included in the history of the "Sino-Indian Border Self-Defense Counterattack", which is a deep regret!
Li Fengyu's comrade-in-arms is worthy of being called "the mouthpiece of the party, the red herald", and he has returned with great merit and glory in the annals of history!
