In May 1984, a strange incident occurred in the Guangxi Independent Division, which was fighting on the Sino-Vietnamese border.
Li Taoxiong, squad leader of the 1st Battalion, 1st Battalion, 3rd Company, 2nd Platoon, 5th Squad of the Independent Division, was wounded by enemy shells during the operation.
Due to his serious injuries, the doctor could only announce the news of Li Taoxiong's death.
Subsequently, Li Taoxiong's body was sent for cremation.
Unexpectedly, in the crematorium, Li Taoxiong miraculously came back from the dead, what is going on?
Li Taoxiong was born in a rural village in Hunan. Since childhood, he has aspired to become a PLA.
In 1981, he finally realized his dream and put on a military uniform.
Li Taoxiong's unit is the Guangxi Independent Division, which is shouldering the important task of guarding the border.
At that time, Vietnam had been eyeing our borders and often sent troops to harass us, and there were constant frictions between the two sides.
Li Taoxiong was a very heroic soldier, and in the course of several battles against Vietnam, he took the lead, charged ahead, and made a lot of contributions.
Therefore, not long after he joined the army, he was promoted to squad leader.
In 1984, war broke out between China and Vietnam again, and the Guangxi Independent Division needed to cooperate with the border guards in Yunnan to fight.
At that time, Li Taoxiong's unit was tasked with attacking Maoshan in order to cooperate with the front-line troops' attack on Laoshan.
The enemy has laid heavy troops around Maoshan Mountain, and it is conceivable that it will be a vicious battle.
Before the battle, all the warriors regarded death as home.
After the start of the combat operation, our side first sent three companies to reconnoiter near the position and find out the enemy's firepower points.
And Li Taoxiong was a soldier of the Third Company, and he followed the troops and cautiously approached the enemy all the way.
The Vietnamese side is very insidious, they have planted mines on all the paths they have to pass, and even the surrounding farmland is full of mines and traps, which cannot be guarded against.
Li Taoxiong led the whole class of soldiers to the front and was responsible for the task of demining.
Five fighters were killed during the demining process. After a difficult trek, the third company finally succeeded in inserting itself behind enemy lines.
Subsequently, they immediately began to cooperate with the Seventh Company to attack the high ground.
Our attack went very smoothly, because the enemy did not expect our troops to attack from both sides, and they were suddenly beaten out of proportion, and our troops quickly succeeded in capturing the No. 7 height.
The Vietnamese army, which had fled, quickly reported the news to the Vietnamese military leadership.
The enemy was furious, because Heights Seven was of great importance to them.
What's more, they had been boasting about how brave their army was, but they were defeated by us in just an hour, how could they swallow this breath?
In retaliation, the Vietnamese army desperately mobilized artillery units and carried out carpet bombardment on position No. 7.
This move of the Vietnamese army was unexpected by our army. Because, at that time, there were still many Vietnamese troops stationed around Position 7.
According to the logic of a normal person, bombing at this time is to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. However, the Vietnamese side had long lost their minds, and they did not want to care about the lives of ordinary Vietnamese soldiers, and shells fell on the positions one after another.
Li Taoxiong reacted quickly and instructed the soldiers to find cover to dodge.
However, while he was commanding from the position, a shell landed at his feet and suddenly exploded.
Li Taoxiong was blown up and covered in blood and passed out.
Seeing this, the soldiers were so anxious that they hurriedly rushed forward regardless of the danger of their positions and carried the unconscious Li Taoxiong back from the artillery fire.
Subsequently, Li Taoxiong was sent to the clinic in the rear for **.
However, when the doctor saw Li Taoxiong's condition, he shook his head again and again.
Li Taoxiong was almost unrecognizable by the shells at that time, and his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, and many shell fragments were embedded in his body.
The doctor tried again, and Li Taoxiong's breathing, pulse, and heartbeat were gone.
The soldiers shouted one after another, and Li Taoxiong did not respond.
In the ward, everyone couldn't help but shed tears, looking at the situation, Li Taoxiong couldn't be saved.
Because Li Taoxiong's heartbeat and pulse showed no signs of recovery, the doctor could only reluctantly announce that Li Taoxiong had passed away.
The news quickly spread throughout the position, and it was difficult for everyone to accept.
Li Taoxiong was such an excellent warrior that he died at the hands of the enemy at such a young age.
What's even more cruel is that due to the hot and humid climate in Vietnam, after the soldiers died, they had to take care of the aftermath as soon as possible and cremate the remains. Otherwise, the decaying remains have a high probability of leading to an epidemic of plague.
Not far from the field hospital is the crematorium built by our troops.
With tears in their eyes, the two little soldiers put Li Taoxiong on a stretcher and walked towards the crematorium with heavy steps.
The cremation process is simple, the body is pushed into the incinerator and the ashes are collected.
However, just when the two little soldiers were about to send Li Taoxiong's body to the incinerator, something strange happened.
Li Taoxiong, who was lying on the stretcher, actually moved!
At first, the two little warriors were frightened, carrying Li Taoxiong's body, and froze there.
And then, there was an even more terrifying scene. Li Taoxiong, who had been declared dead by the doctor, actually stretched out his hand tremblingly and grabbed the arm of one of the little soldiers.
This can scare the little soldier a lot, is it possible, in broad daylight, and encountered such a bizarre incident as a corpse?
At this time, another little soldier reacted in hindsight, Li Taoxiong was not a corpse, maybe, he was not dead at all!
The little soldier was bold and leaned into Li Taoxiong's chest to listen to his heartbeat.
Listening to it, his eyes lit up, and Li Taoxiong's heart was still beating faintly in his chest.
That is, he is really alive!
This fact made the two little warriors who had just been terrified and scattered.
They didn't care much, so they hurriedly put Li Taoxiong's body on a stretcher and ran all the way back to the field hospital.
When the doctor heard that Li Taoxiong had come back from the dead, he was surprised and confused.
Later, it was repeatedly confirmed that Li Taoxiong, who had just stopped his heartbeat, really showed signs of vitality at this time.
Could it be that the heavens can't bear to let an excellent soldier like Li Taoxiong die here?
Doctors speculated that Li Taoxiong probably suffered severe shock due to serious injuries and excessive blood loss, and even became suspended animation.
Fortunately, he survived when he entered the crematorium, otherwise the doctor would have been guilty for the rest of his life.
In any case, as long as people are alive, it is a good thing. However, now is not the time to be happy, Li Taoxiong's condition is still very dangerous, and he must be operated on as soon as possible to remove the remaining shrapnel.
It is also likely that his organs were severely damaged, with multiple fractures throughout his body.
In short, the treatment of Li Taoxiong is very complicated, and it cannot be completed by a simple field hospital.
The doctor immediately sent a message to his superiors, hoping to transfer Li Taoxiong to a regular hospital for rescue.
After hearing this, the superiors immediately agreed and sent a special person to send Li Taoxiong to the 303 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army for surgery.
The doctors at Hospital 303 couldn't help but feel relieved to hear that a soldier had come back from the dead.
Time waited for no one, and they immediately prepared relevant medicines and equipment to operate on Li Taoxiong.
However, when Li Taoxiong really sent it, the doctors knew how critical the condition was.
Because his injuries were so severe that he couldn't stop bleeding, his blood stained the entire sheet red when the soldiers brought him.
The experienced attending physician knew that it was a coagulation problem.
In this state, surgery cannot be done, and blood transfusions must be given first to save Li Taoxiong's life.
In order to save Li Taoxiong, the doctor urgently mobilized all the usable blood in the blood bank, and after transfusing 2500cc of blood, Li Taoxiong's condition was finally barely stabilized.
I have to say that Li Taoxiong's willpower is very tenacious, and in such a serious injury, Li Taoxiong actually struggled to wake up.
Although he was still very weak, Li Taoxiong opened his eyes and looked around, and realized that he had been sent to the hospital and was no longer in the position.
He looked at the doctor as he lay dying, his lips quivering with difficulty.
The doctor knew what he wanted to say and hurriedly leaned over.
Unexpectedly, Li Taoxiong came back from the dead, and finally woke up, and the first thing he said was:"Are our positions still there? What happened to the fighters of my knife platoon? ”
Hearing this, everyone was very moved and couldn't help but cry again.
Unexpectedly, in this case, Li Taoxiong was most worried about the combat mission he was carrying.
The chief, who had been guarding Li Taoxiong in the ward, heard his question, hurriedly walked up and said solemnly to Li Taoxiong"Don't worry, the warriors of the Sharp Knife Platoon have performed very well and have been withdrawn intact! ”
Hearing this, Li Taoxiong on the hospital bed breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to allow Li Taoxiong to relax and operate with peace of mind, the chief hurriedly asked people to connect with the ** of the front-line sharp knife squad soldiers.
The soldiers were so busy fighting that they only heard the notice from the field hospital, and thought that the squad leader had died.
Unexpectedly, I called ** again at this time and told them that the squad leader was not dead.
* The soldiers on the other end were suddenly excited, and they grabbed the microphone one after another, wanting to talk to the squad leader.
Hearing that the soldiers were really fine, Li Taoxiong finally relaxed completely, and it didn't take long for him to fall into a coma again.
Next, the doctors of 303 Hospital will face a huge challenge.
There were more than 170 pieces of shrapnel embedded in Li Taoxiong's body, and several of them were very close to the vital point.
If one is not careful, it is likely to cause Li Taoxiong to be disabled for life.
In addition, some shrapnel cards are very tricky, and it takes three or four hours just to remove this one.
In addition, the weather was very hot at that time, and some of the wounds on Li Taoxiong's body had already leaked pus.
All this is consuming Li Taoxiong's life dramatically, and the doctor does not dare to delay.
In 20 days, they prepared more than a dozen major surgeries for Li Taoxiong.
The physical torture suffered by Li Taoxiong at that time can be imagined.
However, with his tenacious willpower, he survived and defeated the Grim Reaper.
After several surgeries, Li Taoxiong has been in a severe coma.
The doctors' hearts were full of thoughts, although the operation was over, but it was not until Li Taoxiong really woke up and regained consciousness that the operation could be declared successful.
In these comatose days, Li Taoxiong could still die at any time.
All the doctors monitored Li Taoxiong's condition almost day and night, ready to fight the Grim Reaper again.
After another ten days, Li Taoxiong's vital signs gradually stabilized.
On July 26, 1984, doctors observed that Li Taoxiong in the hospital bed had opened his eyes.
The doctor, who had been in suspense for many days and nights, was so excited that he almost jumped.
After some careful examination, the doctor confirmed that Li Taoxiong had really woken up this time, and he was out of danger.
Hearing the good news, the troops immediately notified Li Taoxiong's mother.
It turned out that at the beginning, Li Taoxiong was mistaken for death in the field hospital, and the troops could only inform his family of the news, along with his honorary certificates, medals, etc., and sent them back to his hometown.
When his mother heard the news of her son's death, she cried to death and fainted several times.
The mother always thought that her son had died, and then Li Taoxiong came back from the dead, but the situation was dangerous, and the superiors were worried about empty joy, so they could only temporarily not inform his parents of the news.
Now, Li Taoxiong is fine, and the troops hurriedly took the old man to the hospital to reunite their mother and son.
Seeing the white-haired old mother, Li Taoxiong couldn't help but cry.
These days, when he was battling death in his hospital bed, he had never shed so many tears.
But now, seeing his loved ones, he finally shows his most vulnerable side.
's mother hugged Li Taoxiong tightly, and she was lost and recovered, and she had a false alarm, which is probably the most fortunate thing.
This injury, after all, made Li Taoxiong pay a lot of price.
Although the shrapnel was removed, the damage to the body was irreversible after all, and every time it rained on a cloudy day, these wounds on Li Taoxiong's body would be faintly painful, which brought him a lot of torture.
What's worse is that due to the drag of the sequelae, it is difficult for Li Taoxiong to return to the battlefield to fight side by side with the soldiers, which has become his biggest regret.
However, for a hero like Li Taoxiong, he naturally had to be treated preferentially, and his superiors quickly rearranged his work in the army.
In addition, Li Taoxiong's sharp knife platoon was awarded the collective first-class merit, and Li Taoxiong himself was awarded the individual second-class merit.
Another happy event is that when Li Taoxiong returned to the village to recuperate from his injuries, many fellow villagers came to visit him.
After going back and forth, Li Taoxiong fell in love with a girl from a neighboring village and became husband and wife.
In order to let Li Taoxiong have no worries, the army specially arranged for his wife to work with the army, so that their family no longer had to endure the pain of separation.
Today, the story of Li Taoxiong is still circulating in the army, he is a great hero, and death cannot defeat him.
