Why does the famous red *** Heroic Children endure?A large part of the reason is that the film portrays characters from ordinary soldiers of the volunteer army to senior commanders.
Among them, the main characters Wang Cheng, Wang Fang, and Wang Wenqing are impressive.
In particular, Wang Cheng's cry of "For victory, shoot at me" before his sacrifice has become a brand of the times.
The movie "Heroes' Children" is based on Mr. Ba Jin's ** "Reunion" as the basic clue, and "Reunion" is created against the background of the Korean battlefield.
The protagonist Wang Cheng in the film, one of his prototypes is Qin Jianbin, the leader of the seventh squad of the 26th Army of the Volunteer Army.
Unlike in the movie, after Qin Jianbin threw the blasting canister that blew up the tank into the enemy group in a hurry, he himself did not die in the end, but was saved by his comrades-in-arms, and continued to hold on to the position for three days and three nights until he won the victory.
Qin Jianbin joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1947, and until the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he was awarded 17 times for meritorious service.
In 1951, Qin Jianbin returned to China as a heroic model to participate in the National Day ceremony, he wore an old military uniform, and was cordially received by the chairman, the prime minister and other party and state leaders.
The treatment of such a revolutionary hero with outstanding military achievements after his retirement is surprising, and even chilling, what is going on?
In the winter of 1929, Qin Jianbin was born in a revolutionary family in Nangong City, Hebei Province, and his father was Qin Xirong, secretary of the district party committee of the Communist Party of China.
Influenced by his father, Qin Jianbin participated in the party's underground work at a very young age.
In 1941, Hebei, Henan, Anhui and other places were frantically "swept up" by the Japanese army, Qin Jianbin's father was betrayed by a traitor in an operation, and was killed by the Japanese invaders, and then the whole family of seven died one after another, and only Qin Jianbin escaped by luck.
In order to survive, but also to avenge his family, Qin Jianbin had to run around and flee in all directions in the following years, often living alone in the barren mountains and mountains.
In May 1945, Nangong City was liberated, and Qin Jianbin was also reborn.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek unilaterally provoked a civil war in 1946, and the War of Liberation broke out immediately.
In 1947, Qin Jianbin, who had just turned 18, decided to carry on his father's legacy and join the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and he was assigned to the 26th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and embarked on a revolutionary journey!
During the entire Liberation War, Qin Jianbin participated in the Jinan Campaign, the Huaihai Campaign, and the Shanghai Campaign with the large army, and his own combat experience can be written into a book.
For example, in mid-December 1948, the Huaihai Campaign entered the third stage, and Qin Jianbin's battalion served as the vanguard, responsible for taking Wei Laojiao Village, which was heavily guarded by the enemy.
Soon after the battle began, the heavy firepower of the Kuomintang army blocked Qin Jianbin and others in an open area 200 meters away from the pillbox, and the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion reached 70%!
After launching eight consecutive onslaughts without success, Qin Jianbin bravely undertook the ninth blasting mission.
Like another combat hero, Dong Cunrui, Qin Jianbin swayed left and right, holding a bag of explosives, and finally blew up the enemy's bunker.
Unlike Dong Cunrui, Qin Jianbin not only returned safely, but he also captured a Kuomintang commander alive.
In the pursuit of the Canal Bridge, Qin Jianbin's "Sharp Knife Seventh Squad" engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy stationed at the station.
In this battle, only Qin Jianbin and four other people in the class of thirteen people were still able to move.
At this time, the enemy still did not retreat, Qin Jianbin immediately loaded his bayonet and rushed towards the enemy machine gunners.
The enemy machine gunner was stunned by Qin Jianbin's momentum and was stunned on the spot, Qin Jianbin once again relied on his bravery and tenacity to make a great contribution to the final victory of the battle for the large army.
It is said that all the enemies who fought with Qin Jianbin were frightened by his momentum.
The Kuomintang machine gunner, who was captured by our troops in the pursuit of the Canal Bridge, was still repeating in his mouth even a few months later: "I have never seen the People's Liberation Army so not afraid of death, is the People's Liberation Army so not afraid of death?"”
It can be seen that the enemy's mood has collapsed.
In this way, Qin Jianbin was awarded a personal first-class meritorious service many times in continuous battles.
In June 1950, the Korean War broke outIn October of the same year, the 26th Army of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) marched north from Shanghai to Tengzhou in Shandong Province for retraining and training.
In November, the 26th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was renamed the 26th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers, officially entered the Korean War, and participated in the second battle of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In mid-February 1951, after a short rest, the 26th Army of the Volunteer Army returned to the front line and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Four or five battles, fought against the defensive campaign in the summer and autumn of 1951 and the consolidation of positions in the spring and summer of 1952.
In June 1952, the whole army withdrew from Korea and returned to China.
In the battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, Qin Jianbin and his comrades-in-arms experienced many ups and downs, and the most tragic battle was the 212 Heights Resistance Battle that took place in mid-to-late March 1951.
In March 1951, the Volunteer Army was implementing movement defense in the north and south of the "38th Parallel".
On March 25, the 212 Heights Resistance Battle officially began, and the location of this high ground was very important, if it was taken by the enemy, the strategy of the Volunteer Army's north-south movement defense would be declared a failure.
Qin Jianbin's "Sharp Knife Seventh Squad" is responsible for sticking to the high ground.
The U.S. military first sent a reinforced battalion to launch a fierce attack on the 212 heights, and at the same time cooperated with four planes, five tanks, and 20 artillery pieces to form a crossfire network to bombard the positions of the volunteers indiscriminately.
In less than an hour, the enemy dropped more than 320 heavy artillery shells, directly cutting the 212 heights more than one meter high, and two volunteer soldiers were shocked to death by the aftershocks.
Seeing this scene, Qin Jianbin, who had been promoted to squad leader, led the remaining soldiers to divide into two combat groups, relying on the only light machine gun to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy with heavy firepower.
By four o'clock in the afternoon of March 25, a total of six of the thirteen people in the class died heroically, six were seriously injured, and only Qin Jianbin was the only one who could persist in the battle.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ** line on the position had already been blown up by the enemy, and Qin Jianbin's contact with the large army was cut off, and the situation was very critical.
On the evening of the 25th, the enemy attacked again. Seeing that the U.S. troops had climbed halfway up the mountain, Qin Jianbin picked up his bayonet and rushed down again, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with more than 20 U.S. troops.
The enemy has seen tenacious volunteers, but he has never seen such a tenacious volunteer like Qin Jianbin. Or perhaps worried that there were other volunteers behind Qin Jianbin, this group of American troops retreated.
However, when they found that Qin Jianbin was the only one on the position, they climbed up again.
Under the tense situation of being outnumbered by the enemy, Qin Jianbin was in a hurry, and he remembered that there was a blasting canister used to bomb tanks in the trench.
If you can blow up a tank, you can blow up the enemy!
Thinking of this, Qin Jianbin hurriedly wrapped his party card, diary and official seal in oilcloth and buried them on the position, and then held a blaster in his hand, ready to die with the enemy.
When the enemy who climbed up saw that Qin Jianbin was only one person, he gestured to him to surrender.
Qin Jianbin was unmoved, he pulled the fuse, and with all his strength, threw the blaster at the enemy group.
In the twilight, only a loud "boom" was heard, and more than 40 enemies were blown to pieces. Qin Jianbin was too close to the ** location, he was blown up by the aftershocks and fainted, but he did not sacrifice.
When Qin Jianbin woke up slowly, he found that his comrades-in-arms who came to reinforce him were surrounding him.
Qin Jianbin waved his hand, and his comrades-in-arms who came to reinforce continued to hold on to the 212 heights for three days and three nights until they finally won the victory.
In this battle, Qin Jianbin pioneered the precedent of using a blaster to kill the enemy, and won the title of "Battle Hero" awarded to him by the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
The 26th Army recorded "special merit" for him, and Zhisi later awarded Qin Jianbin the honorary title of "first-class combat hero".
On the National Day of 1951, Qin Jianbin honorably participated in the delegation of the volunteers returning from the country.
At that time, the chairman made a special statement"These returned volunteer soldiers do not change their clothes. ”
Qin Jianbin really wore a shabby military uniform to see ***
At the state banquet, what Qin Jianbin didn't expect was that ** actually walked up to him and said cordially"Let me smell the gunpowder on the front-line soldiers. ”
At this moment, Qin Jianbin was so excited that he burst into tears.
After returning from the Korean battlefield, the higher-level leaders considered that Qin Jianbin was a combat hero and were ready to take some care of him in the work arrangement.
Yang Dezhi, then commander of the Jinan Military Region, entrusted the staff to ask Qin Jianbin what he wanted
Qin Jianbin seemed very excited at the time, and he told the staff of the military region"I myself have a low education, and I have been in the combat unit for a long time, so I don't have any special requirements, so it is best to continue to stay in the front-line army to lead the troops. ”
Yang Dezhi specially approved Qin Jianbin's request. Soon after, Qin Jianbin and several other comrades-in-arms landed on Changdao, which was under the jurisdiction of Yantai City, Shandong Province, and became an ordinary soldier guarding the island, and he was also the first batch of soldiers stationed on the island of the People's Liberation Army, and he worked for more than 30 years after that.
In the early 80s of the 20th century, according to the organizational regulations, Qin Jianbin needed to go through the procedures for resignation.
But Qin Jianbin, who has 35 years of military experience, has been awarded 17 times for military exploits, and has been received by party and state leaders such as ***, his position at the time of retirement was only a regular position.
The comrades stationed on Long Island with the old man Qin Jianbin saw this situation in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts.
Because of his low position, the old man Qin Jianbin could not live in a dry rest house with better conditions after his retirement, so he could only live in the bungalow of the army on the island all the time.
After his retirement, Qin Jianbin still silently dedicated, he helped the company to clean up, repair roads, clear snow, and also served as a resident off-campus counselor.
Even Qin Jianbin let his five children settle down on the island and prevent them from going to the big city for development.
In the past 10 years or so, Qin Jianbin, despite his old age and infirmity, often went deep into military organs and enterprises to make reports, talk about traditions, and make outstanding contributions to the building of socialist spiritual civilization.
In 1999, Qin Jianbin's hometown of Nangong City, Hebei Province, broke the convention of "the living do not stand up" and recorded Qin Jianbin's deeds in the local historical records.
It is worth mentioning that in October 1992, the 42nd anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers' war in Korea, the then Minister of National Defense, General ***, led a delegation to visit the DPRK.
When visiting the National Museum of Korean History, Qin Jianbin was surprised to find that his bust was listed first in the first row of the heroic models of the Volunteer Army, and there was a detailed introduction to Chinese and North Korean characters below.
In those days, no matter how Qin Jianbin went, he would always be surrounded by enthusiastic North Korean masses.
In the hearts of the North Korean people, Qin Jianbin is equivalent to the hero Wang Cheng, the hero Wang Cheng died in the end, but the real hero did not die and will never be sacrificed.
However, the treatment of such a super-grade combat hero after his retirement was indeed unexpected.
In 1999, Qin Jianbin, who was suffering from cancer, knew that his time was running out, and he proposed it in an interview with reporters"I am very grateful to the party, the state and the army for taking care of me for so many years, and I have no strings attached.
Not long ago, my superiors have adjusted my main battalion level to the deputy division level, which shows that the party organization has not forgotten me as a veteran, and thanks to the party organization for its care for me. ”
It's a pity that the deputy teacher treatment was only enjoyed for less than a year, and Qin Jianbin died in February 2000 due to a variety of diseases** and ineffective treatment.
It is often said that "it is not too late to make amends".
Qin Jianbin, a special combat hero, has been sticking to the island for more than 30 years, not for fame or profit, but the treatment at the time of retirement does not seem to match his identity and the merits he has made in the past.
Fortunately, after taking into account Qin Jianbin's special situation, the party organization and higher-level leaders finally adjusted his treatment and rank upward.
The old hero himself never put forward conditions to the organization, let alone how he was treated. However, it is our duty to treat these revolutionary heroes well.
These old heroes have made tremendous sacrifices for the construction of New China and for the people of all nationalities throughout the country to live and work in peace and contentment, and future generations have nothing to repay but to forever cherish the memory of these old heroes and the red revolutionary spirit in them, and carry them forward from generation to generation, so as to comfort the souls of the old heroes in heaven.
