There is such an unforgettable passage in "Who is the Loveliest Person": "If you need a monument, let me write the names of the martyrs who fought bravely and bloodily against the enemy......These words aroused a sense of respect for the many martyrs on the battlefields of Korea.
Among them, a veteran named Li Yu'an has become the focus of attention. According to the memories of his comrades-in-arms, Li Yu'an fought bloodily with the enemy, and even the corpse could not be found.
However, in 1990, an old man who called himself "Li Yu'an" appeared in front of the army, claiming that he had not been sacrificed, but chose to leave the army because of the guilt of his soldiers. Is Li Yu'an's true identity true or false?What is his story?Read on.
First of all, Li Yu'an was born in 1924 in Taiqian, Henan, from a poor family, did not receive formal education in his early years, and was still illiterate until he joined the army.
After the outbreak of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Li Yu'an resolutely joined the Communist Party, knowing full well that the Communist Party was truly concerned about the people, while the Kuomintang only cared about self-interest and put the people in dire straits. With the support of his parents, he did not hesitate to embark on the road to join the army.
The exercise of military life is difficult, Li Yu'an joined the army with enthusiasm, but when he first went to the battlefield, he was pressed to the ground out of fear, but after several battles, he quickly changed from cowardice to perseverance, and this complete change was shocking.
Li Yu'an can be called a genius, and in terms of combat skills, he has improved even faster than those veteran veterans. On the battlefield, he marched forward bravely, walking through the rain of bullets, as if the bullets were avoiding him, and he didn't care about the occasional injury, because these injuries were not serious, they were all a piece of cake for him. 1. Bravely resist the enemy.
He soon experienced his first large-scale engagement since joining the army, and his bravery earned him a first-class meritorious service, and the battle became known as the Battle of Siping. His heroic deeds were highly recognized by his superiors, and since then he has been heavily trained.
During this period, he learned to read and write, and was no longer illiterate when he first joined the army, but an intellectual with rich cultural accomplishments. Despite his wealth, he did not neglect the training of military skills. Subsequently, he participated in the Battle of Liaoxi, where he achieved significant military exploits.
Then he participated in a series of battles such as the Pingjin Campaign and the River Crossing Campaign, and achieved fruitful exploits and rich rewards. Until the end of the Liberation War, he won a total of ten battles of various sizes, which made his comrades-in-arms both happy and slightly envious of him.
In 1950, he was about to retire, but he received an order to go to North Korea, and a magnificent War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began. 2. Injured and returned to China. In October 1950, Li Yu'an went to the Korean battlefield as the first batch of volunteers, and soon became involved in a major war.
Due to the unfamiliarity with the terrain of North Korea and the poor vision at night, the 9th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the US Army, which was surrounded by the Volunteers, broke through and fled in the direction where Li Yu'an was. Li Yu'an received the order and immediately rushed to block the enemy.
After some planning, he finally chose to set up an ambush in the area of Songgu Peak, because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the best place to block the attack. However, Li Yu'an clearly underestimated the speed of the enemy's march, and despite their positional advantage, they missed the opportunity to stop the attack by only a few minutes.
They marched at full speed, but still reached Songgu Peak only a few minutes ahead of the enemy. There was no time to arrange the defensive line, and Li Yu'an ordered the soldiers to disperse in the Songgu Peak area as originally planned, waiting for the enemy to approach. The enemy, however, did not know that there was an ambush of volunteers on Songgu Peak, and continued to advance unscrupulously.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and the volunteers on Li Yu'an's side were only more than 100 people, armed with grenades and rifles, while the enemy had more than 1,000 people, and was also equipped with artillery and tanks, which was far superior to Li Yu'an's side. This is a battle with a huge disparity in strength, however, will the volunteers be afraid?
On Songgu Peak, thousands of homes are brightly lit, and they are in a desperate situation, but there is no way out, like a nail. When the enemy approached, Li Yu'an decisively ordered a sneak attack, and the first engagement ended in a rout of the enemy. However, the enemy was well-equipped and launched a heavy bombardment of Songgu Peak, causing a huge **.
Despite this, the volunteer soldiers still fought to the back, which greatly shocked the enemy. In the desperate situation of running out of ammunition, they could only fight to the death with the enemy, and Li Yu'an was seriously injured and unconscious. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a hospital bed and was rescued by his comrades in time.
And the first thing he said when he woke up was not about his injuries, but about the completion of the mission. Knowing that the mission had been successful, he breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep. Soon, his identity was **.
After a period of recuperation, his injuries gradually healed, but he was still unable to move, so he had to return to China to continue**. In the hospital, he learned that of the more than a hundred fighters in Songgu Ridge, less than half survived. He felt deeply guilty about his sacrificed comrades, so he chose to remain incognito.
His comrades-in-arms thought he had died, and it was not until Wei Wei interviewed them that they learned of Li Yuan'an's deeds. Wei Wei was deeply moved by his heroic deeds and remembered his story in the book. It wasn't until 1990 that Li Yu'an learned that the Li Yu'an described in the textbook was actually himself.
He went to the army to confirm his identity because his youngest son intended to join the army, but there were some doubts about his identity, and there was a gap, so he has not been able to pass the application to join the army. In the end, he had no choice but to go to the original army to prove his identity, and finally let his youngest son get his wish and successfully enlist in the army.
Li Yu'an's heroic story is a household name, and what is particularly striking is that his reunion with his comrades-in-arms brought tears to his eyes. Even Wei Wei never imagined that his hero was still alive.
What is thought-provoking is that there are many unknown heroes, such as the superhero Lu Wenhuan and the first-class meritorious hero Jiang Cheng, who choose to live their lives silently in a certain corner, unwilling to cause trouble to the country, and even those who have contact with them are difficult to know that they are actually national heroes.
