The ups and downs of life are common, and Sun Yuguo is a vivid example. He was an ordinary young man from the Northeast, and his career in the army was uneventful. However, his fate suddenly changed at the age of 24, and he became the head of the border station and became a trendsetter of the times.
Although he could not foresee the future, he dared to face the challenges and difficulties in life, and faced the twists and turns and uncertainties of life. Sun Yuguo's life experience tells us that only by moving forward bravely can we find the dawn of hope in the storms of life.
The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero. "A true hero, no matter how ups and downs life is, will never bow to difficulties. Looking back on Sun Yuguo's life, we have to mention Sino-Soviet relations in the sixties of the last century.
Sun Yuguo, an ordinary border station chief, uses his persistence and responsibility to guard Zhenbao Island and the territory of the motherland. He has no prominent background and no high level of culture, but he has proved his value and mission with practical actions.
In the north of the motherland, his existence is as precious as a treasure.
Sun Yuguo, a little-known head of a border station, made great contributions to border defense work with his excellent memory and mastery of the terrain. Although his work may seem monotonous, he is always on his toes and keeps an eye on the dynamics of the Sino-Soviet border.
Because, he is well aware that the clouds of war are looming, and if he is not careful, it may lead to a huge conflict. Therefore, he patrolled the border every day with the fighters of the border station, always on alert.
Although his work may seem useless to others, he always adhered to his beliefs and silently made his own contribution to the country's border defense work.
Although the ownership of Zhenbao Island has always been disputed, China and the Soviet Union have not made substantial progress after many negotiations, and Sun Yuguo, as the head of the border station, did not understand the complex changes in the international situation, let alone predicted that his fate would be closely linked to the fate of the country.
Since 1968, there have been many border clashes near Zhenbao Island, and there have even been vicious incidents of killing and injuring Chinese border guards and border residents. Sun Yuguo, as the head of the border station, reported the situation in a timely manner.
In the area around Zhenbao Island, there is only one border post and more than thirty soldiers, which is clearly not able to cope with the possible outbreak of conflict. Therefore, taking into account the tense situation on the border, our country decided to transfer border guards to the area, and artillery units were deployed.
On March 2, 1969, Soviet reinforcements arrived, and the two sides exchanged fire again south of Zhenbao Island. The Soviets then re-increased their forces and sent an armored vehicle from the west side of Zhenbao Island in an attempt to cut off the rear route of the Chinese border guards, but was repelled by Chinese artillery fire.
At about 1 p.m. that day, both sides withdrew their troops.
Armored vehicles attempted to cut off the rear route of Chinese border guards, triggering an escalation of the conflict. After nearly a month of standoff, the Soviets again increased their forces and sent a number of tanks, while China strengthened its anti-tank forces and deployed artillery units.
The equipment of the Soviet army at that time was more advanced than that of the Chinese border guards, including the level of mechanization and advanced technologies such as T-62 tanks. With his long-term patrol experience in the area, Sun Yuguo, the head of the border station, has a deep understanding and familiarity with the terrain.
He suggested sending soldiers to fight on the island and carry out ambush attacks.
Sun Yuguo and other border guards successfully ambushed Zhenbao Island under the battle plan agreed by their superiors. In order to prevent the Soviet troops from copying the frozen river bread on the west side of the island, the sappers laid a defensive line on the river.
On the morning of the 15th, dozens of Soviet troops landed on the island in armored vehicles, and Sun Yuguo led the border guards to meet the battle, taking advantage of the terrain to catch the enemy by surprise, destroying three armored vehicles and forcing the Soviet troops to retreat.
In the afternoon, the Soviets sent 4 T-62 tanks in an attempt to detour the positions of the PLA from the south side of the island, but they drove into the minefield of our troops, the armor advantage disappeared, and they were forced to retreat. At 5 o'clock in the evening, the Soviet troops landed on the island again under the cover of 5 tanks and 12 armored vehicles.
Although our army's equipment was relatively backward, resulting in a greater number of troops than the Soviet army in the Zhenbao Island conflict, Sun Yuguo, the head of the border station, relied on his familiarity with the local terrain to formulate a combat plan based on the terrain and the advantages of our army, and successfully thwarted the Soviet army's ambition to land on the island.
Sun Yuguo took the lead in the conflict, calmly and composed, leading his soldiers to fight bravely against the inferior Soviet troops in the harsh natural environment. His outstanding contribution was noticed by his superiors after the end of the conflict, and he was awarded the title of combat hero.
This originally unknown head of the border station became a household name for his heroic deeds, and the trajectory of his life changed significantly.
Sun Yuguo, a hero who emerged in the self-defense counterattack on Zhenbao Island. His bravery and resourcefulness allowed him to stand out in battle and win the respect and admiration of the people of the whole country.
In the process of reporting in Beijing, he was praised and recognized, and his excitement and handshake strengthened his belief and determination. Since then, his career has been like a rocket rising into the air, from the head of the border station to the deputy head of the regiment, to the head of the independent regiment, and the deputy commander of the provincial military district.
Sun Yuguo was originally proud, but because of the favor of fate, he became the deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region. However, during the ten years of turmoil, he was forced to participate in something that benefited the counter-revolutionary group.
Although it was very difficult to make the right decision in the circumstances of the time, and even many old revolutionaries could not do it, to make a mistake is to make a mistake, and you must take responsibility for your own mistakes.
After the defeat of the reactionary forces, Sun Yuguo was criticized and educated by the organization. Fate seems to have played a joke on Sun Yuguo, who went from an ordinary soldier to a combat hero to the deputy commander of the military region, and then lost everything in the political turmoil.
In 1982, the ** Military Commission and the Political Department gave him a serious warning within the party, and he was transferred to a new job according to the treatment of the regimental level. Now, Sun Yuguo has changed from the deputy commander of the military region to the deputy director of the arsenal.
Sun Yuguo's self-esteem is very strong, but he cares if his co-workers see him as a former combat hero, and if the leaders are wary of him. However, despite the great changes in his life, he did not become decadent or muddy.
On the contrary, he still sticks to his original intention and mission. Due to the impact of the ten years of turmoil, the production of the arsenal was severely affected, with inefficiency and uneven product quality.
However, as the deputy director of the PLA 7446 factory, Sun Yuguo not only focused on production safety and efficiency, but also led workers to solve technical problems and successfully improved the production efficiency of the arsenal.
At the same time, he was also very concerned about the lives of the workers. Every day, Sun Yuguo is not only busy with the affairs of the factory, but also actively helps the workers in the factory to solve problems. Since he himself was a worker, he was well aware of the difficulties of workers.
He not only helped the workers improve their working conditions, but also repaired baths in the factory, helped the factory workers solve the problem of finding employment for their children, and even went back and forth to the public security organs at all levels, and finally succeeded in converting some of the workers' families from agricultural to non-agricultural households.
In general, Sun Yuguo is a person who sticks to his original intention and cares for others, he has performed well in work and life, and his deeds are worthy of our learning and praise.
Under Sun Yuguo's leadership, making cutting boards was an extremely complex skill with extremely high requirements for casting and machining technology. And Chaoyang Heavy Machinery Factory has a huge demand for cutting boards, and it is a huge challenge for the factory to make the specified number of cutting boards within the specified time.
In order to ensure that the work can be completed on time and in quantity, the factory needs a plant cadre to lead and supervise the production and ensure the smooth progress of production. Therefore, Sun Yuguo personally walked to the production line, he did not put on any shelf as the deputy commander of the military region, nor did he show off the heroic deeds of leading the border guards to fight against the invaders in the ice and snow and won the honor of a combat hero, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.
His performance showed the workers that he cared and loved the factory and the workers, so he was respected and loved by the workers.
He was a good factory director in New China, he used to be a combat hero and deputy commander of the military region, but now he is a good factory director who is loved and admired by the workers. Ordinary people often feel hopeless in the face of life's difficulties, while the difference between heroes and great men is that they are able to overcome difficulties, never give up, and persevere to the end.
With his own enthusiasm, Sun Yuguo practiced the belief of "having a point of light and a point of heat" with practical actions. He was unknown in his ordinary job, and stood up at critical moments to fight for the territorial integrity of the country.
Even though he has experienced all kinds of changes and lost his former glory, he still plays his role in ordinary posts and actively solves the difficulties of the people. He never mentioned his glorious deeds, but worked hard in the production line for a long time, wholeheartedly for the welfare of the people, no matter how many blows he suffered, he could maintain his original intention, which is a real hero and a model for us to learn.
