In 1998, in the garrison of the 47th Army, the staff was engrossed in their work, and everything seemed to be in order. However, a plea for help shattered the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
A middle-aged woman with a haggard face grabbed the staff in a panic and pleaded, "Save my dad, he is a super combat hero." When the staff heard this, a look of shock was written all over their faces: Why did a super-combat hero who fought valiantly for his country fall to the point where he needed help so much?
They immediately arranged for the woman and patiently inquired about her specific situation. The woman slowly told the truth, after which the staff present fell silent. What kind of man was this brave man, why did he have such a difficult fate, and what would be his final fate?
Zhang Guofu, a tragic super-combat hero, was born in 1931 in a peasant family in Jilin. It was a turbulent time, Japan was planning to invade China, and the outbreak of the "918 Incident" made his family's situation even worse.
In this difficult environment, the seeds of the motherland's victory were planted in the heart of the small Guofu, and he was full of yearning to be able to contribute to the country. In the end, the truth that "evil does not prevail over righteousness" was fulfilled, and the Chinese successfully drove out the Japanese invaders after 14 years of bloody struggle.
This victory further inspired Zhang Guofu's fighting spirit, and he did not hesitate to join the Chinese People's Liberation Army, determined to fight for his ideals.
He was a passionate member of the army, and in his spare time he consulted his old comrades on various skills. His hard work finally paid off, and in just two years, he joined the Chinese Communist Party and became an important member of the ranks.
At that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were fiercely confronting, and Zhang Guofu participated in many battles. He was brave and fearless, did not flinch in the face of the enemy, and even succeeded in capturing a Kuomintang lieutenant general alive alone, which can really be described as a model of young heroes.
In May 1947, the land was full of life, and the morale of our army was rising day by day. At this time, our army planned to attack the Kuomintang troops in the northeast, and Zhang Guofu and his troops came to Jiangmi Peak, which was the most difficult to overcome.
In the smoke of the battle, Zhang Guofu, a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, with his wisdom, courage and fearless spirit, successfully captured the Kuomintang Lieutenant General Zhao Bozhao alive, which amazed the world.
His heroic performance was also recognized by the "Fierce Advance", and an article titled "16-year-old cattle herding baby Zhang Guofu captures Kuomintang Lieutenant General Zhao Bozhao alive" was widely circulated, allowing more people to understand his heroic deeds.
Zhang Guofu's spirit makes us deeply admire, and it also strengthens our belief that we will continue to work hard and move forward bravely for the peace and development of the motherland.
If you think that the heroic deeds of this hero end here, you are very wrong. This is just the prelude to Leslie Cheung's magnificent military career. The Liaoshen Battle in 1948 was his most shocking surprise to us.
The sentence of the great leader *** "This decisive battle cannot let Chiang's army go out of the northeast" made many brave soldiers sweat on the battlefield and fight for the cause of liberation to the end. In the face of the strong offensive of our army, Chiang Kai-shek was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he urgently mobilized more than 100,000 people to come to support.
However, it is regrettable that although the morale of our army is high, it will not be able to resist the modernization of the Kuomintang after all. Relying on the advanced equipment provided by the United States, they have stopped the advance of our army again and again.
In a fierce battle, the enemy and us fell into a stalemate, and the officers and men of our army faced a test of life and death. At this moment, Zhang Guofu stepped forward, with a heroic and fearless spirit, with the help of the corpse on the ground, skillfully evaded the enemy's sight, and crawled towards the enemy.
As the minutes ticked by, the situation of the battle gradually tilted in favor of our troops, who seized this rare opportunity and launched a general attack amid the deafening sound of the trumpet.
At this moment, Zhang Guofu was under the nose of the enemy, and with superhuman courage, he threw a grenade at the enemy, and before the enemy could react, he rushed to the enemy's command post like a whirlwind, and successfully captured the Kuomintang commander alive.
This seemingly uneventful battle fully demonstrated the heroism and perseverance of our warriors. With their own blood, they paved the way to victory in the war.
And Zhang Guofu's name also resounded throughout the army again, he was affectionately called "Little Hero" and was awarded special merit.
In 1950, 19-year-old Zhang Guofu and 77 special combat heroes accepted the honor at the first National Congress of Combat Heroes, and he was also the youngest combat hero in the entire Liberation War.
At the conference, let Zhang Guofu stand next to him, and several great men left the most beautiful moments together. In the same year, the Chinese People's Volunteers crossed the Yalu River with great vigor and went to Korea to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
Zhang Guofu, a patriotic warrior, once again stepped on the battlefield. However, the war was a major turning point for Zhang Guofu. New China has just been founded, and it is in ruins, unable to resist the suppression of the advanced ** of the United States.
Unfortunately, Zhang Guofu's company was almost wiped out, and he was seriously injured as a result. Regrettably, this war permanently deprived Zhang Guofu of the right to go to war again.
Zhang Guofu's brilliant deeds won the attention of the organization, and they arranged a place for him to go after he was discharged from the army, but Zhang Guofu insisted on returning to his hometown, and the organization finally agreed to his request.
After returning to his hometown, he changed his name to "Zhang Guofu" and lived an ordinary life. However, fate played a big joke on him, and he ran around because of life problems, and even got a job as an escort gunpowder escort.
Although he misses the army life, he doesn't want to talk about the past, so he just drinks alone to kill his sorrows. One day, he suddenly coughed up blood and was diagnosed with lung cancer, and the whole family was terrified.
Ignoring his dissuasion, the daughter ran to the 47th Army garrison to ask the old leader for help, and the leader immediately arranged for the old hero. During his hospitalization, a group of old comrades-in-arms took turns chatting with him, so that his life was no longer lonely.
Despite his growing physical weakness, he was in a good mood and often smiled. It wasn't until July 1998 that this super-class hero of the War of Resistance left us.
His heroic spirit is still alive in people's hearts, and although he has passed away, his indifferent fame and fortune and selfless spirit of serving the country are immortal.
