On January 2, 1951, he handed over the top-secret telegram from a month ago to Ye Zilong, director of the Confidential Office of the General Office. Ye Zilong was the first to receive this telegram, and the content was Mao Anying's sacrifice on the Korean battlefield.
Although this news made Ye Zilong almost faint, he decided to report to *** considering that it was now the second battle victory and that the Volunteer Army had gained a firm foothold in Korea
**Understand Ye Zilong's concerns and say it's time to report. He also personally wrote a letter explaining why he had not reported until now, and said to *** that Mao Anying's sacrifice was honorable.
The letter also mentioned that he had repeatedly stressed the issue of security in the command organs. Finally, he also said that after the victory, a monument should be erected on the battlefield to commemorate the Chinese People's Volunteers.
After Ye Zilong came out of the *** office, he rushed to the new sixth institute non-stop. Insert a sentence here, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** had considered the construction of ** leaders' office and living areas in the area from Fuxingmen to Shijingshan.
However, due to the outbreak of the Korean War and economic difficulties, only six houses were built on Mansu Road in the end. These six houses form a courtyard, hence the name "New Six".
**Live in Building One. At that time, ***, who was used to working at night, had just gotten up and was drinking tea and reading the newspaper on the sofa in the hall. Ye Zilong is very familiar with this place and comes here to deliver telegrams almost every day.
In the hall, there are Li Yinqiao, the chief of the guard, Li Jiaji, the guard, and others. Ye Zilong put the telegram and the letter on the coffee table in front of the company, and then shouted "Chairman" in a low voice.
Put down the newspaper and pick up the telegram. At that moment, the scene was so quiet that you could hear the sound of needles falling to the ground. The telegram was very short, with just over a hundred words, and was written by *** himself.
The message is as follows: Military Commission, Gao He (Gao Gang, He Jinnian): We entered the air-raid shelter at 7 o'clock today, and Mao Anying was in the house with three staff officers. At 11 o'clock, when four enemy planes passed by, four of them had already come out.
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. At that time, two staff officers ran out, Mao Anying and Gao Ruixin were burned to death before they could escape, and there was no other loss.
Shiji at 16 o'clock on the 25th.
Mao Anying, the beloved son of the chairman, gave his young life on the Korean battlefield. After receiving the news of his son's sacrifice, his face was pale, his lips trembled, his eyes turned to the cigarette case, and tears flowed in his heart.
Defender Li Jiaji recalled: "The chairman took the cigarette again and threw it there. Turning around, he lit a cigarette again. Originally, the matchbox was in front of him (on the coffee table), and he didn't know it, and he was still looking for it in his pocket.
It's watery, but it's not obvious that he's crying, but we know it in our hearts, he tears more than we do, and it hurts even more, and that's his dearest son. ”
Seeing this scene, Li Yinqiao stepped forward to light a cigarette for him. ** endured his grief and said in a hoarse voice: "War, there must always be **, it doesn't matter, who made him the son of ***......."He also said: "Anying is a bitter child, he has lost his mother since he was a child, and later participated in the war and did not live a good life for a few days. ”
** Over fifty years old, I should have enjoyed the family fun of my children and grandchildren around my knees, but I lost my most valued son, and the white-haired people sent the black-haired people. Although Mao Anying is young, only 28 years old, his wife Liu Siqi does not know that her husband went to the Korean battlefield.
**'s grief is irreplaceable, and Mao Anying's sacrifice is heart-wrenching.
Mao Anying died, and those in the know were asked to conceal it. The chairman was deeply saddened: "She cannot be allowed to suffer the grief of her newly married women. Director Yang Shangkun's diary recorded: "The news of Anying's death cannot be concealed, although the spirit is great, the blow is not small. ”
More than a month after Mao Anying's death, the chairman learned the bad news. The third battle was victorious, and the morale of the soldiers was high, but the attrition was large, and the soldiers needed to be replenished. The front moved south, and logistical transportation was difficult.
The Volunteer Army was ready to rest, but the enemy launched a spring offensive. During the battle, Li Qiwei adopted "magnetic tactics" to consume the exhausted volunteer army.
On the battlefield, Ridgway was keenly aware of an Achilles' heel of the Volunteers: they fought for about a week at a time, after which they would retreat to recuperate. Ridgway called this phenomenon a "worship offensive."
This is mainly due to the fact that the logistics supply of the volunteers is very weak, and they generally only carry three days of ammunition, while their logistics units can only provide four days of ammunition and dry rations and other materials.
Based on this discovery, Li Qiwei formulated a combat strategy against the volunteers: first lure the volunteers to go deeper, and wait until they ran out of ammunition and food, and then start a counterattack.
This strategy allowed the volunteers to attack in battle, but they could not last, expand their gains, and retreat. ** Seeing the grim situation on the battlefield and the serious difficulties in logistical supply, I was anxious.
He immediately sent a telegram to the ** Military Commission, asking him to return to China and study countermeasures in person. **Reply to consent. When *** returned to Beijing, he also had an important task, that is, to report to *** the process of Mao Anying's sacrifice.
After Mao Anying's sacrifice, in the *** telegram received, there was no mention of Mao Anying. But he knows the significance of Mao Anying's sacrifice. Now, what he can do is to report to *** in person about Mao Anying's work after entering the court, as well as some details of the sacrifice.
**Led the Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea,**Distressed Soldiers Helped in Time **On the evening of February 20, 1951, he took a jeep on the way home, and after arriving in Anton, he transferred to a special plane sent by the **Military Commission, and flew to the airport in the western suburbs of Beijing on the morning of February 21.
As soon as I got off the plane, I went straight to Zhongnanhai by car, and after arriving, I was told by the guards that I was in Jingmingyuan, Yuquan Mountain, in the western suburbs. **Didn't take a break and took a car to the western suburbs, when I arrived*** was taking a nap, **Despite the dissuasion of the guards, I pushed the door directly and entered.
**Woke up by the sound of pushing the door, and learned that it was *** coming, while getting up and dressing, he quipped: "Only when Lao Peng does this, will he break in and give advice when people are sleeping." ”
**Ask*** if you have lunch,** said that there is something more important than eating, ** said: "If you don't eat, I won't listen to the report." * had to go to the cafeteria and eat a few bites, and then immediately came back to report to *** the situation on the Korean battlefield and the serious difficulties faced by the volunteers.
** Gave a detailed introduction to the combat situation of the Volunteer Army in the past three months since it entered the DPRK, and listed the five difficulties it faced: First, the replenishment of soldiers cannot be taken from the enemy, and the Volunteer Army is very large and cannot be replenished in time, and its combat effectiveness is getting weaker and weaker; Second, the enemy planes bombed, the roads and vehicles were seriously damaged, and the supplies could not be replenished in time, and even if the enemy's equipment was captured, it could not be used due to the lack of technical personnel, and almost all of them were blown up by the enemy planes; Third, the troops crossed the 38th parallel to fight, it was the harsh winter season, the east and west sides of the Korean Peninsula were sea, the cold wind hit people, the eastern front was even colder, the soldiers were thinly dressed, some did not even have shoes and socks, and a large number of people were sick and frostbitten; Fourth, hundreds of thousands of volunteers do not get enough food, let alone fresh vegetables, and the phenomenon of cooking is often cut off, and the commanders and fighters rely on a handful of fried noodles and a handful of snow to persist in fighting, malnutrition, physical strength declines, and many people suffer from night blindness, which seriously affects combat operations; Fifthly, we now have no air cover, no anti-aircraft artillery, and most of the transport vehicles have been blown up halfway.
In the first and second battles, more than 780 vehicles were lost in more than a month, and there were very few supplies and food that could really be sent to the front line. If we cannot effectively guarantee the transportation in the rear, we will not be able to sustain long-term operations.
The concern and concern for *** is beyond words. After learning of the report, he immediately expressed his support for the Volunteer Army and asked the relevant departments to take effective measures to ensure the transportation of materials.
**reported to *** the difficult situation of the volunteers on the Korean front, **affirmed his judgment, but at the same time expressed understanding and sympathy for his pain of losing his child.
**After reporting the process of Mao Anying's sacrifice, he stood up and walked to the window, looked at the bleak scenery, and softly recited "Dead Tree Fu", his grief was infected***
However, **also tell*** that fighting a war always kills people, and the sacrifices of volunteer soldiers are glorious.
1. "Mao Anying, a proletarian fighter, an ordinary volunteer soldier. His sacrifice proves that he is a true warrior, the son of his parents, and the son of the country.
He did his duty and gave his life for the country. We should remember his valor, he is our pride. " 2. "Mao Anying's sacrifice made tens of millions of people cry.
He is the son of ***, but he is also an ordinary soldier of the Volunteer Army. His deeds have taught us to be patriotic and responsible. He tells us with his life that a warrior's flesh and blood are born of his parents, but he is also part of the country. "
3. "Mao Anying's body was finally buried on the Korean Peninsula. His sacrifice has deepened the friendship between China and the DPRK. He is the son of *** and a member of the Volunteer Army.
His bravery makes us remember him forever. He used his life to set an example for us. " 4. "Mao Anying's sacrifice made countless people regret.
He is the son of ***, but he is also a soldier of the Volunteer Army. His deeds make us understand that the duty of a soldier is to protect the country and the people.
With his life, he showed the heroism and responsibility of a warrior. "
**'s proposal was approved by ***, who wrote in the letter: "Agree with Peng's opinion, please inform the General Cadre Department to prepare another reply." The letter was then sent to ***.
**Agreeing with ***'s suggestion, he said affectionately: "The fact that Kian Ying's body remains on the soil of the DPRK embodies our revolutionary spirit of sharing weal and woe with the DPRK military and people, and also symbolizes that the friendship between the Chinese and DPRK peoples is condensed with the blood of revolutionary martyrs." ”
Therefore, Mao Anying's body was not transported back to China for burial, but was moved from Daeyudong to the Chinese People's Volunteer Army Martyrs' Cemetery in Hichang-gun, South Pyongan Province, North Korea.
We take this article to pay our deepest respect to the martyr Mao Anying.
