Boom! With a loud bang, the incendiary bomb exploded in the middle of Mao Anying's headquarters and exploded in an instant.
On that day 70 years ago, the General Headquarters of the Volunteer Army was suddenly attacked by American aircraft. In the chaos, Mao Anying, then deputy chief of staff and director of the Operations Bureau of the Headquarters, and his comrade-in-arms Gao Rui died at the age of 28.
At that time, the inside story of this sacrifice was not made public, and it was not until 2020 that a top-secret telegram from ** revealed the truth about Mao Anying's tragic death to the public.
In 2020, the CCTV documentary "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and Defend the Country" for the first time disclosed the top-secret telegram of *** reporting the news of his son's sacrifice to ***, revealing the truth of this history.
The telegram is only 114 words, but it records the tragic experience of Mao Anying's sacrifice:
"Comrades Mao and Gao were burned to death by incendiary bombs.Military Commission, Gao He.
At 11 o'clock, when four enemy planes passed by, the four of them had already come out, and after the enemy planes had passed, the four of them returned to the house, and suddenly four more enemy planes came and dropped nearly 100 incendiary bombs, hitting the house.
Shiji".
It turned out that the reason why Mao Anying died was to return to rescue the important map of the headquarters, and then he was killed by an incendiary bomb. At that time, Mao Anying saw the attack of the US plane, and he had already taken refuge in the room, but remembered that there was an important military map in the room, and if it was blown up, the consequences would be very serious, so he was not afraid of danger, ordered the staff officer to evacuate first, and hurriedly returned to get the map, but was killed by the sudden incendiary bomb.
This telegram opened a hidden page of history on the Korean battlefield, and also gave the public a deeper understanding of Mao Anying's heroic deeds of sacrificing his life and righteousness.
On November 25, 1950, General ** personally confirmed Mao Anying's mutilated body. Great grief enveloped him in an instant.
The face that still had a smile remaining, so young and so heroic, was forever still because of the war. **Watching Mao Anying's 28-year-old life pass away, my heart is like a knife. Mao Anying didn't have to come to North Korea, he still had a lot to do, but he resolutely chose to go to the country and practiced the true character of a Communist Party member.
***, who learned the bad news, was stunned for a moment, then turned his back, closed his eyes, and a big teardrop slipped down. His son has really suffered all his life!
Everyone persuaded *** to take his son's body back to China for burial, but ** flatly refused"My child is a child, and someone else's child is not a child?" Don't be special, just do it according to the rules! ”
In the end, Mao Anying was buried with the martyrs in the North Korean Heroes Cemetery. Every night in the dead of night, ** will take out Mao Anying's relics before his death, and cry in secret. Great leaders also have the sorrows of ordinary fathers!
Looking back at Mao Anying's life, he is worthy of being the son of a great man, but he has also suffered from ups and downs.
In 1922, Mao Anying was born in Changsha, Hunan. Only 3 days after the birth, ***, who was busy with the workers' movement, saw the newborn. He excitedly named his son "Mao Anying", pinning his hopes on "Wei'an" and "handsome". However, in 1927, in order to work, ** left his wife and children in Changsha, but after that, he was separated from his wife for 11 years, and his son was not seen for 19 years. In 1930, Yang Kaihui was captured by warlords with Mao Anying and bravely served under torture. Eight-year-old Mao Anying witnessed her mother being shot alive and experienced unimaginable trauma.
Subsequently, Mao Anying took her infant brother to live on the streets, living a difficult life by picking up garbage. The youngest brother unfortunately died, and the second brother was also seriously injured, and all kinds of grief became an eternal wound in Mao Anying's heart.
In 1936, under the inspiration of the Soviet Communist International, Mao Anying and his younger brother went to the Soviet Union to study. Here he finally joined the Komsomol and gained systematic knowledge of Marxist theory and the exercise of military training.
In 1938, ** heard the news of his sons in the Soviet Union, and in excitement, he wrote to contact them. Mao Anying replied in detail about her study life, and father and son met in the air.
In 1946, Mao Anying returned to China with his younger brother to meet ***. Surprisingly, ** did not give his son any privileges, but temporarily transferred him from the Soviet embassy to work in the countryside for hard practical training. Mao Anying did not complain at all and went obediently.
Noble birth is destined to have no happiness for ordinary people, Mao Anying has experienced hardships since she was a child, but she was not crushed, she only asked silently in her heartI'm the son of ***, qualified?
After the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, China decided to form a volunteer army to support North Korea. At that time, Mao Anying was already working in the Beijing Machinery General Factory, and after learning the news of the formation of the Volunteer Army, he immediately wrote an application for enlistment, expressing his desire to join the Volunteer Army.
**After seeing Mao Anying's application, I felt very uncomfortable. He privately thought that it was too dangerous to let ***'s son directly participate in such a brutal war. So *** handed over Mao Anying's application form to ***, hoping that *** could persuade Mao Anying to dismiss her decision.
Unexpectedly, *** not only did not object, but agreed with Mao Anying's choice. He said to *** in a serious voice"If my son does not go, whose son shall go? ”
**Even if he was unwilling, he couldn't go against the meaning of ***, so he had to approve Mao Anying's application for enlistment. In order to keep it secret, Mao Anying assumed the pseudonym "Secretary Liu" and became the adjutant of *** and entered the war with the army.
On the Korean front, Mao Anying lived an extremely difficult life. Due to his special status, ** wanted to improve his food and living conditions, but Mao Anying resolutely refused. He didn't want to get any special care, as long as he ate the same things and lived in the same tents as ordinary soldiers. This made *** and other comrades-in-arms look at him with admiration.
On November 24, 1950, enemy planes attacked, and Mao Anying had safely evacuated to the air-raid shelter. But when he remembered that there was an important military map in the headquarters that had not yet been taken out, and if it was blown up, the consequences would be very serious. So he risked his life and ordered the staff officer to evacuate first, while he rushed back to his room to get the map. Unexpectedly, the enemy plane suddenly attacked again and dropped a large number of incendiary bombs. Before Mao Anying could get the map, he and his comrade-in-arms Gao Rui died under the incendiary bomb.
Mao Anying's life is a life of loyalty to the party and the people, and it is also a life of continuous self-training and courageous sacrifice.
He has experienced the hardships of family destruction since he was a child, but he has not been defeated by fate, but has become stronger and stronger. He was educated in the Soviet Union and returned to China to practice. He was able to play an active role on the stage of the great times because of his excellent qualities.
On the Korean battlefield, Mao Anying had no choice privilege, but only wanted to share weal and woe with his comrades. His act of sacrificing his life to take advantage of important military maps shows the fearless demeanor of a revolutionary.
** Heartbroken for his son's sacrifice, but still handled it impartially and did not give any special care. This style of adhering to principles shows the mind of a great man.
Mao Anying used his life to answer the question that had plagued him for a long timeI'm the son of ***, qualified?
He has proven with his blood that he is an excellent son and a great communist fighter. His life will forever remain in people's memories and inspire future generations to fight for the people without fear of sacrifice.
