Topic of the article: The legendary story of Zhang Mingyuan and the Red Fifth Army In 1974, Zhang Mingyuan came to Beijing and became the guest of honor of Mr. Zhu.
Mr. Zhu asked about the current situation of the Red Fifth Legion, and Zhang Mingyuan replied with emotion: "Fortunately, there are only a dozen people left in the Red Fifth Legion now."
Mr. Zhu invited Zhang Mingyuan to recite the names of the comrades of the Red Fifth Army and encouraged: "I will definitely arrange work for you when I have the opportunity in the future." "The predecessor of the Red Fifth Army was the 26th Route Army, which originated from Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army.
They successfully staged an uprising and became the respected Red Fifth Legion. During the Kuomintang period, the Northwest Army was not valued by Chiang Kai-shek and was seen as a secondary army.
However, they were riddled with internal contradictions, and in Chiang Kai-shek's view, the 26th Route Army was only a dispensable army, and even one of the forces that could be eliminated if necessary.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the 26th Route Army was oppressed by Chiang Kai-shek and could not exert its true strength, and the enthusiasm for the Anti-Japanese War was difficult to last. As a result, Zhang Mingyuan became a member of the Red Fifth Army.
The Red Fifth Army fought hard, weaving through the steep mountains, the battle line was lengthened, and the losses were increasing day by day. However, they did not give up and firmly guarded their beliefs and ideals.
Zhang Mingyuan has always remembered this tragic past, and they are firm in their hearts: "Never admit defeat." With perseverance and determination, they persevered to the end.
Even in the face of death, they will not bow their heads, because this is the dignity of the military and the will of the party. Zhang Mingyuan, who survived, became an indispensable force of our army.
Zhang Mingyuan, a revolutionary pioneer, actively responded to the order to move troops before the Long March and became a pioneer. Whether he participates in combat or reconnaissance operations, he can be at ease, and when he encounters problems, everyone knows to look for him.
At the same time, Zhang Mingyuan resolutely propagated the revolutionary spirit everywhere. In 1936, he returned to his hometown of Minxian County due to work needs, and was mainly responsible for raising our army's reserve materials and other tasks.
While accomplishing his tasks brilliantly, he also began to carry out revolutionary propaganda in his hometown. By telling the heroic stories of the Red Army units, he subtly guided the people to become more and more supportive of the work of the Red Army.
At the same time, Zhang Mingyuan's fundraising efforts were well underway, and local youths followed him and consulted him on how to join the Red Army. Zhang Mingyuan always answered patiently, even though this question had already been answered by him countless times.
In the end, more than 3,000 young people in Minxian County followed Zhang Mingyuan on the journey of the Red Army and participated in the battle of the Western Route Army. However, this has also become a sore spot in Zhang Mingyuan's life.
Not only did he show his courage and skill on the front lines, but he also excelled in his work in the rear. He was able to lead many young people into the war, but he could not stop the cruelty of the war.
Despite this, Zhang Mingyuan did not give up, and he launched his own guarding work in the logistics department. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he actively participated in the Korean battlefield. This time, he was still the first to act.
On the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, most of the soldiers acted cautiously. Therefore, Zhang Mingyuan believes: "These materials must keep up with this war in order to win." ”。Zhang Mingyuan is like a professional chef and a professional medical staff.
He believes that nutrition must keep up, food that is easy to eat must be made, and dry food and vegetable cakes must be prepared sufficiently.
On the medical front, he said: "Our medical supplies and rescue must be in place in a timely manner, and the fighters must also carry enough life-saving tools that can come in handy if necessary." ”。
Zhang Mingyuan has put more energy into the country's fighting, and his logistical support work seems to be able to do an excellent job on either side. Mr. Zhu often misses the soldiers of the past. At the age of 76, he climbed Jinggang Mountain again, and every step seemed extremely determined.
This mountain carries the memories of the past and the souls of the warriors who fought bloody battles here. This history will never be erased, and it is even more unforgettable in Mr. Zhu's heart.
Returning to Jinggang Mountain, Mr. Zhu remained silent and stared into the distance, as if he was perceiving and appreciating the past of the Red Revolution with his heart, and he was also thinking about the heroes who stayed here forever.
During the revolutionary period, Mr. Zhu wore a patched military uniform, scarred, crutches, and straw sandals to step into the field hospital. If you don't look closely, you might mistake him for one of the wounded warriors.
But if you take a closer look, you will be surprised to find: "Mr. Zhu, why are you here?"Mr. Zhu was in good spirits and said with a smile: "I'll see how everyone is." You've worked hard, you all have to rest and recuperate, you know?
The voices of the warriors replied one after another: "Got it." The field hospital suddenly returned to its former calmness, and Mr. Zhu would also walk to the young soldiers and warm them with a fatherly care.
Whether before or after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Zhu always took the soldiers to heart. The tragic history of the Red Fifth Army will always be remembered by Mr. Zhu.
For the sacrificed soldiers, Mr. Zhu will always deeply mourn;For the soldiers who are still alive, Mr. Zhu is always concerned about their life and work. Zhang Mingyuan and Mr. Zhu reminisced about the past together and firmly kept the history of the Red Fifth Army in their hearts.
Mr. Zhu is much loved, and Zhang Mingyuan also remembers Mr. Zhu's dedication. The regrets of the revolutionary period cannot be erased, but they will make the greatest contribution to the people and the country with the revolutionary spirit of more people.
The tragic historical songs will be remembered by more people, and their dedication will be remembered for generations.
