year, welcome Zhang Guohua's ashes in the rain, ** farewell.
At the beginning of March 1972, bad weather poured heavily for several days. However, despite his physical weakness, ** insisted on going out, because the ashes of his old comrade-in-arms, General Zhang Guohua, needed him to greet him personally.
At the airport, ** led everyone to wait, and finally, the plane slowly landed at the airport in the western suburbs of Beijing in the wind and rain. General Zhang Guohua's widow stepped out of the plane, holding her husband's ashes.
** Quickly stepped forward and solemnly took the urn, tears slid down instantly.
Zhang Guohua, the great hero of the liberation, he was supposed to preside over the work in the southwest region, but an order recalled him, although the new China was established at that time, but the first was still not liberated, if the first is not liberated, the people there will continue to live in dire straits, so how can the new China talk about reunification?
Therefore, ** and *** made up their minds to liberate **, for this goal, Zhang Guohua has made great efforts and sacrifices, he is our eternal hero.
* The situation is complex and requires a person of extraordinary ability to take on this task. After careful consideration, it was decided to appoint Zhang Guohua to this position.
On the one hand, Zhang Guohua is a veteran revolutionary with a wealth of combat experience, and he has been a key figure in stabilizing the situation in the past, no matter what challenges he faced.
On the other hand, due to the special geographical location, the transfer of troops from the northwest may cause additional problems, because Qinghai and other places have just been recovered, and the situation is still unstable.
Therefore, the best solution is to march troops from the southwest. At this time, Zhang Guohua was transferred to the southwest, and it was the ideal choice for him to lead the army to attack.
After receiving the order of *** and ***, General Zhang Guohua felt extremely excited, and he has always cherished the dream of recovering **. However, very few people in the army at that time had actually set foot in **, and we knew almost nothing about this mysterious region, including Zhang Guohua himself.
Therefore, before the start of the battle, General Zhang Guohua actively collected information and began to conduct in-depth research on the customs and even history and geography of the country. He firmly believes that it is precisely because of the arduousness of this task that it is necessary to make full preparations in the early stage, not to fight uncertain battles, to conquer in one fell swoop, and to completely liberate the people.
After a long period of research, Zhang Guohua's heart was full of confidence. At the same time, he realized that time was running out and that the living conditions of the people were very difficult and that immediate action was necessary.
We must pay attention to the prevention of altitude sickness. ** The local forces are complicated, many locals are exploited by the landlords, we need to enlist the support of the people, so that they understand that our purpose is to rescue them.
Most importantly, we should respect the religious beliefs of the local people, not disturb the monks, not stay in the temple, and do our best to calm people's hearts. After listening to Zhang Guohua's battle plan, I was full of confidence in him.
General Zhang Guohua's family suffered a misfortune, and his youngest daughter had a high fever and was dying. But at this time, ** mobilized an army of nearly 30,000 people to prepare to go **, and Zhang Guohua, who was preparing to send troops, had to endure the pain and stay on the front line to deal with military affairs.
Although he was anxious, he knew that no matter how big the family affairs were, they could not compare to the major national affairs, so he resolutely chose to continue to complete the mission.
Zhang Guohua sat in the war conference room of the Central Military Commission, took a deep breath, and told his wife that he needed to stay here and could not go home. He asked his wife to go back and comfort their daughter, and promised that he would take her to ** personally after the victory.
However, his youngest daughter did not wait for that day. The day after the doctor issued the critical illness notice, the three-year-old girl closed her eyes forever. When Zhang Guohua heard the news, his heart was full of pain.
But he forced himself to cheer up, liberating ** is his mission, and he can't forget his responsibilities because of personal matters. The army set out as scheduled, and the road was full of hardships and dangers, with snow, swamps, and even wind and snow.
Fortunately, Zhang Guohua made full preparations before setting off to ensure that the troops would not be attrition on a large scale.
After a long journey, the group finally arrived at the border of **, but another accident happened. That night, a sudden heavy rainstorm drenched them in soup, but they were surrounded by houses and could not shelter from the rain.
Before entering the People's Liberation Army, Zhang Guohua had already warned the soldiers that the mass base here was relatively weak, and the people of the People's Liberation Army did not have a clear understanding of the identity of the People's Liberation Army.
Therefore, when we enter the first place, we must keep in mind the military regulations and military discipline, do not take a stitch from the masses, and do not commit any offense against the people. It's already the middle of the night, and if you knock on the door again to avoid the rain, it will definitely alarm the crowd.
Moreover, we have no way to achieve effective communication with the masses for a while. Therefore, the fighters decided to rest in the suburbs and gritted their teeth to survive a whole night of rainstorms.
This scene amazed the local ** peasants, who had lived in hardship for a long time and had never seen such an army so benevolent to the people. Even in the second half of the night, some villagers were moved and took the initiative to invite the PLA to take shelter from the rain, but the PLA insisted on refusing to enter the house for fear of disturbing them.
Although their task is difficult, they always think of the people. The next day, the deeds of the People's Liberation Army spread among the peasants, who were already convinced and sincerely supported the Communist Party without much explanation of its policies.
The actions of the PLA not only touched the common people, but also made the monks in the temple feel admiration. Due to the backwardness of the ** system, before the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, there was chaos in the temple, and even the living Buddha who practiced in the temple was dissatisfied with the status quo.
When the People's Liberation Army appeared, the Living Buddha of Geda deeply felt that it was expected to be liberated. In order to save his hometown, he did not hesitate to join the People's Liberation Army. His courage and determination made the PLA ecstatic, because the influence of the Living Buddha in ** was unmatched.
* The group of monks wielded so much power that even slave owners sometimes had to show them respect. If we can bring the Living Buddha into our camp, it will be of great benefit to our cause.
Therefore, our army was very happy to accept the Living Buddha of Geda as our comrade-in-arms. However, this change has made the local hostile forces feel alarmed.
In **, in addition to numerous feudal forces, there was also the presence of British invaders. They colluded with local serf owners and confronted the People's Liberation Army, which brought huge resistance to the liberation of the People's Liberation Army.
Upon learning that Geda Living Buddha had joined the People's Liberation Army, they brutally murdered this respectable comrade. This made Zhang Guohua's heart full of anger, but it also strengthened his determination to liberate **.
Although Zhang Guohua and Geda Living Buddha have not been in contact for a long time, they have long become each other's confidants. Zhang Guohua once promised the Living Buddha that after liberation, he would go all out to rejuvenate this land.
Zhang Guohua will fulfill his promise to his friends, and at the same time, it is also to fulfill his promise to all the people.
Under the unwavering leadership of the PLA, the enemy of ** is nothing more than a rabble. Zhang Guohua quickly controlled ** like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and those serf owners who were dancing with their teeth and claws wanted to compete with the People's Liberation Army at first, but when the People's Liberation Army really arrived, they fled one after another.
Those serfs, who had suffered for a long time, became the most resolute force for emancipation. Every time the People's Liberation Army arrives in a new place, the poor people of the first place will welcome it, which has become an eternal memory in Zhang Guohua's heart.
As the old saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the Communist Party has come all the way to today by relying on its deep responsibility and deep love for the people.
Zhang Guohua, the hero of liberation, is also a staunch guardian of this land. After the liberation, he not only fulfilled his promise to the Living Buddha of Geda, but was also entrusted with important tasks.
However, this land is not completely free from the threat of the enemy, and the British, the United States and various spy forces are still eyeing each other. Faced with this situation, Zhang Guohua chose to stay and use his painstaking efforts to protect this land, which was 16 years.
He dedicated his most precious years to **, and regarded ** as his second hometown, and no one could match his deep affection for **.
During his work, Zhang Guohua has always kept a low profile and never put on the shelf of cadres. He often goes deep into the fields, talks cordially with the masses, regards ** as his hometown, and ** people also regard him as the closest person.
He resolutely supports the leadership of the world, goes all out to implement the decision-making of the world, and makes great contributions to the development of the company, although the specific number cannot be counted.
In the 16 years he has been working, he has hardly taken a day off, has a lot of responsibility, and has countless tasks to deal with every day. Because of witnessing the dark history of **, he knows how to cherish the present even more, and hopes to use his own efforts to make ** better and better.
Therefore, no matter how big or small the job is, he will give it his all and do his best.
Every day before dawn, Zhang Guohua has already started his tense and busy day. It wasn't until late at night that he was willing to put down his work and rest under the hard persuasion of the staff.
The lights in Zhang Guohua's office are always the last to go out. Day after day, year after year, too much exertion made his body weaker and weaker. Living in the highland area for a long time, his body does not adapt well.
In the second year of coming to **, Zhang Guohua felt that his heart was often uncomfortable. The doctor told him that this was a typical symptom of altitude sickness, and the solution was to take time out for conditioning and rest.
However, Zhang Guohua could not do these two things. Because he knows, if he rests, what will happen to these big and small things?
Zhang Guohua's job is extremely important, so he always puts aside the matter of rest and recuperation, until every year when the doctor urges him, he says that he must take good care of his body when he is a little idle from work.
But his work has never been idle, and it has been delayed for 16 years. During this period, Zhang Guohua's heart problem has not been solved, but he does not feel too serious about it, after all, he has survived 16 years.
However, as the energy of his work gradually waned, he began to realize his physical condition, so he began to do as much as he could, and although he thought little about himself, his only concern was not to live up to the expectations of the **people.
16 years later, ** has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Zhang Guohua has also accepted **'s appointment. But his body couldn't handle any more stress.
In 1972, on an ordinary day, Zhang Guohua went to the military region to attend a meeting as always. However, in the middle of the meeting, Zhang Guohua suddenly fell to the ground, which frightened everyone present.
The crowd immediately rushed him to the hospital, but it was already too late. By the time he was taken to the hospital, Zhang Guohua's heartbeat and pulse had stopped. The doctors tried to resuscitate with the last hope, but death ruthlessly took his life.
Zhang Guohua's comrades-in-arms stood outside the ward, unwilling to accept this cruel truth. This is Zhang Guohua, the person who persevered to the end in the worst environment, how could he be so easily killed by death?
There are still so many people who need him, but no matter how much he calls, he can't go back to them.
When the news came, the ** chairman and *** the prime minister were receiving foreign guests. Hearing this bad news, the two leaders fell silent for a while, as if they were frozen in that moment.
In the end, the chairman endured the grief in his heart, announced the postponement of the meeting, and returned to the study alone. Over the years, everything Zhang Guohua has done, Chairman ** has seen it, and he is full of appreciation for this fighter.
**The chairman has been looking forward to handing over the important responsibility to Zhang Guohua again in the future, but who knows, fate has made him leave forever. The Prime Minister also could not accept Zhang Guohua's departure, and his departure was a heavy blow to ***.
In the end, the state decided to hold a grand funeral for Zhang Guohua, and ** decided to go to the airport to greet his ashes in person, which is the highest courtesy and Zhang Guohua deserves.
However, these accolades pale in comparison to his contributions.
In March 1972, cadres of the Chengdu Military Region watched Zhang Guohua's wife hold his ashes on a plane to Beijing. The torrential rain that day seemed to even the heavens to mourn the loss of the hero.
** Arrived at the airport early, stood quietly with an umbrella, and solemnly waited for Zhang Guohua's ashes. Although the weather was very cold and everyone was worried about his body, he insisted on being here and waiting for the arrival of Zhang Guohua's ashes.
After receiving the ashes, the state placed Zhang Guohua's ashes in Babaoshan to show reverence and commemoration of the hero.
Half a century has passed, although Zhang Guohua's figure has gone, but his heroic deeds of liberation are deeply engraved in people's hearts, especially the people, who will never forget the name Zhang Guohua.
Back then, when Zhang Guohua came to **, the life here was poor and backward, and the people were living in dire straits. However, when he left, the people here had lived a happy and stable life, and it was he who brought new hope to **.
The shortness of life cannot erase Zhang Guohua's spirit, as long as the people of ** still remember him, his spirit will live forever. Today, his name has become an immortal monument.
