years of counterattack against Vietnam,The sons of the chiefs died, who are they?
On the special day of the Qingming Festival, an 86-year-old man came to the Pingshan County Martyrs Cemetery. His gaze was determined and focused, as if searching for something important.
Although a whole morning had passed, he still hadn't found it, and ended up sitting in a shady place, as if silently thinking about something.
The cemetery staff half-squatted down and said to the old man: "We have a tombstone here, called 'Bian Shizheng', I don't know if it is the person you are looking for?" The old man instantly became energetic, pulled up the staff and ran to the tombstone.
On this tombstone is a yellowed **, on which is a young man with a bright smile, short hair to his ears, a full and firm face, and a pair of black eyes like two black gems.
Seeing **, the old man was so excited that he almost tripped up, and he said: "He is the son I have been looking for for thirty-eight years, and the son I miss day and night!" At this time, the old man burst into tears, screaming loudly while clinging to the tombstone.
Why did the old man Pu Yunhai have been looking for his son for 38 years? And how did his son contribute to the country in the martyrs' cemetery? The answer to all this is waiting for us to uncover together.
In China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the sons of 10 leaders died heroically. As a neighbor of China, Vietnam has a deep friendship with us. In modern times, the two countries have experienced the fate of colonies and semi-colonies, and have fought side by side as brothers.
Thus, at the time of the invasion of Vietnam by the United States, about $20 billion in combat materials and advanced air defense forces were provided, despite the difficult conditions of the Chinese economy.
After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, Le Duan, the leader of the reunification of Vietnam, began to carry out frenzied anti-China attacks against China. He created armed clashes on the Sino-Vietnamese border, shot Chinese border guards on bridges built with Chinese assistance, and then wantonly invaded and occupied Chinese islands and territories, completely ignoring the goodwill of the Chinese people.
In the face of Vietnam's provocation, ** fought with one punch, lest a hundred punches come", on February 17, 1979, it officially ordered a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
At first, the Vietnamese side thought that they would be invincible with the ** aid of the US military and the equipment aided by China. But they turned out to be too naïve.
It took only 28 days for the Chinese People's Liberation Army to completely defeat Vietnam and defend the territorial integrity of the country.
Although China won a complete victory in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the price was heavy. In this war, more than 8,500 PLA soldiers died heroically, including the sons of 10 unit chiefs.
They are Pu Shiping, Zhang Li, Geng Jun (Geng Xiaokang), Zhou Wei, Qu Ningjiang, Luo Yuening, Cao Hui, Jiang Luping, Zhao Youlin and Peng Hong. It is worth mentioning that Pu Shiping is the son of the 86-year-old Pu Yunhai at the beginning of our article.
Pu Yunhai and Pu Shiping are two people with deep perseverance, and they live in a challenging environment. Pu Shiping's mother died when he was young, which forced him to take on the responsibility of the family at an early age, helping his father and brother with farm work.
Despite the hardships of life, Pu Shiping never gave up on his dreams, believing that men should have greater ambitions than just working in the fields. Pu Shiping has a persistent pursuit of life, and he decided to join the army to realize his ideals.
He knew that the decision might make his father angry and worried, but he was willing to take the risk to pursue his dreams. Although Pu Yunhai was dissatisfied with his son's choice, he respected his decision and hoped that he would be able to make a difference in the army.
However, life did not go according to Pu's plan. Soon after he joined the army, Pu Shiping left this world forever. This made Pu Yunhai feel extremely painful and lost, he lost his only son, and his life changed dramatically.
Pu Shiping's story teaches us that life is full of challenges and uncertainties, and we can't say what will happen in the future. However, we can realize our own value and meaning by sticking to our dreams and pursuits.
Even in the face of difficulties and challenges, we should be brave enough to pursue our dreams, because this is the best way to realize the value of our lives.
Pu Shiping, an ordinary soldier, with his indomitable perseverance and diligent attitude, rose to prominence in a regiment of the Chengdu Military Region, won the appreciation of his superiors, and became the company commander of the reconnaissance company of the 112th Division.
His father, Pu Yunhai, was immensely proud of his achievements. However, when the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in February 1979 came suddenly, Pu Shiping felt a heavy responsibility and joined the battle without hesitation.
During a reconnaissance mission, in order to protect the safety of most of the fighters, he decided to break off. Unfortunately, however, he was brutally murdered by Vietnamese soldiers, and his body was immediately incinerated.
Pu Shiping's heroic sacrifice deeply touched everyone, and he interpreted the mission and honor of soldiers with his actions.
Pu Yunhai, after receiving the bad news of his son's sacrifice, was in pain, and fainted from crying several times. However, months passed, and only one martyr's certificate was received, and nothing was known about his son's relics and burial place.
He secretly vowed that he must find his son's body and let his son "return to his roots".
Pu Yunhai began a long journey to find his child, and finally found his long-lost son on the Qingming Festival in 2016. He sat at his son's tombstone, reminiscing about everything in the past thirty-eight years, and telling his son about his life.
Deng Zhongxia once said that there is only life and death in life, and we must live meaningfully and die worthwhile. Like Pu Shiping, the other 9 sons of the chief who died bravely in the self-defense counterattack are all real heroes.
Zhang Li, the son of Zhang Zhixin, commander of the 160th Division of the 54th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, had a strong interest in military affairs since he was a child, and grew up to become an excellent scout, inheriting his father's fine traditions.
After learning the news of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Zhang Zhang immediately asked his father for permission to join the combat unit, showing his patriotism and determination to serve the people.
Zhang Zhixin was very supportive of his son's decision, but he also adhered to the principle of "not engaging in specialization", so he asked Zhang Zhang to go to the front line with ordinary soldiers. In the war, Zhang Zhang was recognized by the squad leader with his professional training and agility.
In important tasks, the squad leader will always discuss with Zhang Li, showing Zhang Li's ingenuity and outstanding performance.
Faced with the urgent tasks assigned by his superiors, it was difficult for the squad leader to decide how to arrange the combat strategy and who to send to take the lead. At this moment, Zhang Li, who was standing aside and meditating, took the initiative to stand up, and he proposed his ideas to the squad leader and instructor, and asked to be used as an advance soldier.
Seeing that Zhang Li's strategy was well-perfected and thorough, the squad leader agreed to his request. However, while scouting and patrolling the nearby 267 Heights, Zhang Li was unfortunately shot in the waist and died heroically.
At this time, Zhang Zhixin, who was still studying the battle plan in the division, was completely unaware of his son's news until political commissar Li Zhaogui handed him an urgent telegram. After reading the telegram, Zhang Zhixin found it difficult to accept it for a while, but it only took him two minutes to regain his composure and repeatedly admonished himself: "My son sacrificed his life for the country, died a well-deserved death, and was a hero." ”
Although Zhang Zhixin is busy with work and is not too saddened by the death of his son, he must have reserved a special position for his son deep down, and his selfless dedication, as he said, "a double martyr, not for a small family for everyone".
The next thing to introduce is a pair of brothers, Geng Jun and Geng Xiaokang. Their father, Geng Jinfu, was the deputy chief of staff of the 50th Division of the 150th Army, so under the influence of his father, they joined the army together from an early age and were assigned to the same unit.
In Vietnam's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, 21-year-old Geng Jun and 18-year-old Geng Xiaokang followed their parents to the battlefield, and they were determined to serve their country. However, when they fought in the Cao Bang area, they were unfortunately surrounded by Vietnamese troops.
The soldiers bravely resisted the enemy and fought fiercely with the enemy for two days and nights, but still failed to break out of the enemy's encirclement. As the instructors of the troops, Geng Jun and Geng Xiaokang, brothers, faced the predicament and made the worst plans.
Geng Jun opened the way in front and suppressed firepower, and Geng Xiaokang covered in the rear to buy time for his comrades to withdraw. With their lives and actions, they have shown the fearless spirit and indomitable will of the Chinese people.
In the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the brothers Geng Jun and Geng Xiaokang fought side by side, interpreting their loyalty to the country and the people with their lives. Geng Xiaokang died while opening the road on the front line, while Geng's army held his position and met the enemy with submachine guns.
When the enemy army came like a tidal wave, Geng's army did not hesitate to jump off the cliff and die for his country. Their heroic feats touched the people of the whole country, and on September 17, 1979, the ** Military Commission awarded Geng Jun a first-class merit and Geng Xiaokang a second-class merit in recognition of their heroic deeds.
These two brothers have served their country with their lives, and their spirit will always inspire us to fight for the peace of the country and its people.
*From the web. Although the parents of the two brothers were grieved by the reality of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, they understood that the lifelong responsibility of a soldier is not for the small family, but for everyone.
Geng Jinfu moved to Chengdu with his wife to continue his work for the country and the people, hoping to contribute to the prosperity of China. Their belief is: "Be a qualified soldier and be the pride of your father." ”
On February 21, 1927, Zhou Wei was attacked by enemy troops during an interspersed mission, and in order to allow his comrades to evacuate smoothly, he was unfortunately shot and left this world forever at the age of 20.

Zhou Wei's sacrifice was to carry his father's expectations to realize his ideals, although his father wanted him to live a happy life as an ordinary person, but Zhou Wei had a great enthusiasm for joining the army since he was a child.
Despite his father's opposition, he secretly joined the army, and finally lost his life in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in order to protect his comrades. With his actions, he explained what it means to be brave and fearless, and what it means to be tenacious.
The tombstone of martyr Zhou Wei stands quietly there, witnessing the heartache and pride of his father Zhou Kaiyuan. Although Zhou Kaiyuan knew that his son was going to be a soldier without telling him, he didn't reveal it, he just wanted to see if his son had the potential to be a soldier.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Wei sacrificed because of this, which made Zhou Kaiyuan deeply sad. However, his son was a qualified military man, and his actions proved his patriotic convictions and courage.
When the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam was about to break out, Qu Ningjiang was just a recruit who had just joined the army for half a year. According to common sense, such recruits cannot go to war. However, Qu Ningjiang insisted on his beliefs and firmly believed that he could become a real soldier.
He was not afraid of the dangers of the battlefield and always stood up for his beliefs.
Qu Ningjiang's enthusiasm and determination touched his father, Qu Kui, and he applied to his superiors for his son, but it was rejected. However, Qu Ningjiang did not give up, he applied many times, and even blocked the approval of the superior leader in the toilet.
Eventually, the leader was impressed by his sincerity and put forward a test - if he could complete a 100-meter chest ring target with no more than 3 bullets, he would agree to his request.
Although he was a recruit who had joined the army for less than half a year, Qu Ningjiang successfully completed the test and entered the self-defense counterattack team against Vietnam by virtue of his superb marksmanship skills that he had previously trained under his father's teaching.
However, in the process of following the transfer of troops, he encountered an ambush by the enemy, and although the troops had a close maneuver with the enemy, in the end, the soldiers died and wounded, and Qu Ningjiang also died due to multiple injuries and excessive blood loss.

Cao Conglian] In Cao Hui's upbringing, his father Cao Conglian exercised his will with strict requirements. In order to allow his son to better adapt to army life, Cao Conglian sent him to the sharpest knife company with the most difficult conditions, and told him that no matter what the reason, he must not relax in the slightest, and if he does not do well, he must be punished.
Cao Hui was once puzzled by his father's strictness, but as time went on, he began to understand his father's good intentions. In the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Cao Conglian and Cao Hui both joined the combat units.
During one battle, due to some erroneous intelligence, their troops were ambushed by the enemy. In order to survive, they had to change from the original task of attacking the fortification to the task of breaking out.

However, the battlefield changed rapidly, and Cao Hui was struggling to orient the tank while being strafed by enemy heavy machine gun fire, and fell on a slope 100 meters away, covered in mud and blood.

After the outbreak of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Jiang Luping wanted to participate in the fighting, and he mustered up the courage to ask his father for the privilege of going to Vietnam. Surprisingly, his father not only agreed to his request, but also encouraged him to believe that he could succeed.
In the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, there was an instructor named Zhao Youlin, who cared about every soldier, was wise and brave, and planned for the troops with his life.
