Since 1840, an ancient and glorious people has experienced deep suffering. Fortunately, on the road of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, countless heroes have emerged, who have dedicated their talents, blood and even lives to this great cause.
Dong Cunrui, a native of Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, joined the Eighth Route Army in 1945, and has been awarded three times for great merit and four times for small merit, won three medals for bravery, one medal for **, and served as the squad leader of the sixth company of the 11th column of the Northeast Field Army in 1948.
At the critical juncture, Dong Cunrui used his young life to open up a path of victory for his comrades-in-arms. What kind of situation did he encounter at that time, so that Dong Cunrui, who was only 19 years old, held up the explosives bag with his hands? How did the young Dong Cunrui go from an ordinary soldier to a hero? The hero's story begins with the cultural battle of 1948. Dong Cunrui was brave in battle, he repeatedly made meritorious contributions, and after many wars, the organization agreed to allow Dong Cunrui to join the Communist Party.
On the afternoon of May 24, the day before the war, all the members of the Sixth Company gathered to hold a pre-war mobilization meeting for the commanders.
On May 25, 1948, the battle to liberate Longhua began, and the siege artillery shook the entire Longhua City. Within half an hour of launching the attack, the PLA quickly cleared the enemy's pillboxes. Subsequently, the Sixth Company launched a charge towards Longhua Middle School. But when they approached the school, an unexpected situation happened, six tongues of fire suddenly erupted from a Han bridge outside Longhua Middle School, blocking the way of the charge, and the soldiers fell one by one, how could they still have a dark fort?
Dong Cunrui held up the explosives bag with his hand, but also supported the desire for victory, and his sacrifice not only opened the way for the victory of New China, but also was like a spiritual beacon, constantly emitting light and guiding the direction on the road of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Heroes are not only a belief, but also the soul of a nation, and defending heroes is not only about history, but also about the future of the nation. ”
