The battlefield is awesome.
Blasting said marshal,
Courage is more admirable.
The body is the scaffold,
Open the door to victory.
Longhua buried loyal bones,
Add luster to future generations.
In the history of the people's army led by the China * * * Party, Dong Cunrui's reputation is immortal. The story that he bombed the bunker with his own life spread all over China, and his dedication to the new China became an example for generations of people's fighters.
all one's life
■ He joined the army for more than two years, made great contributions three times and made small contributions four times, and won the Mao Zedong Medal.
Dong Cunrui, 1929 10 6 15, was born in a poor peasant family in Nanshanbao, Huailai County, Chahar Province (now Hebei Province). He went to school for a few days at the age of seven, and then dropped out of school because of poverty. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, his hometown became an anti-Japanese guerrilla zone. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, he once covered the Eighth Route Army cadres and became the head of the Youth League. Young Dong Cunrui is smart and has a lot of backbone. He is called "Wang Erxiao of Nanshan Fort".
1in the spring of 945, Dong Cunrui joined the local Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force and the Eighth Route Army in July of the same year. 1946 In early April, in the encounter of Dushikou, an important town in northern Chabei, he tactfully won an enemy machine gun and was awarded the Medal of Courage.
1At the beginning of 947, Chang 'anling was attacked by snipers. When the squad leader died and the vice squad leader was seriously injured, he stepped forward as the squad leader, completed the sniper task as scheduled, and made great contributions again. During his lifetime, he made great contributions three times and made small contributions four times, and won three brave medals and a Mao Zedong medal.
1March, 947, during the training and consolidation in Pingbei, Dong Cunrui joined the Party. After Mao Zedong put forward the call of "overthrowing Chiang Kai-shek and liberating all China", troops from various strategic locations went to urban warfare in succession.
At that time, the PLA had no planes and lacked tanks, and mainly relied on limited artillery and infantry to carry out blasting. The class led by Dong Cunrui was praised as "Dong Cunrui Training Model Class" by the division and regiment leaders, and he himself was also awarded the title of "Model Blaster".
■ Before the Battle of Longhua started, Dong Cunrui, who won the "Marshal of Blasting" in the contest, expressed his determination on behalf of everyone: "Even if it turns into soil after death, I will fill it in the outer ditch of Longhua Middle School."
At the beginning of May, 1948, Dong Cunrui's army took part in the Battle of Rezecha. Longhua county is the treasury of Chengde, the capital of Jehol. The enemy built a large number of bunkers here in advance, and some specially built bunkers were also called "model fortifications".
On May 25th, 1948, the battle against Longhua County started. Dong Cunrui's 6th Company is responsible for clearing the enemy's core position-Longhua Middle School. Before leaving, Dong Cunrui, who was the leader of the blasting team and won the "Marshal of Blasting" in the contest, expressed his determination on behalf of everyone: "Even if I turn into dirt after my death, I will fill it in the outer ditch of Longhua Middle School, so that everyone can step on us and ruin Longhua!" He led his comrades to blow up the enemy's three turrets and five bunkers in succession. After opening the peripheral fortifications in the northeast corner of Longhua Middle School, the machine guns of the bridge bunker hidden by the enemy on the main river outside the wall suddenly opened fire, causing serious casualties to the troops, and the assault was blocked, while the comrades sent to blast fell one by one.
In the face of heavy artillery fire from the enemy bunker, Dong Cunrui well-documented again and rushed to the bottom of the bridge under the cover of his comrades. At this time, his left leg was interrupted by enemy machine guns, and the bottom of the bunker was a little high from the dry river bed. The berms on both sides of the river were steep and slippery, and the explosives he buried slipped twice because there was no wooden support. At this point, the charge signal has sounded. If you delay for another minute, more comrades will die. Dong Cunrui resolutely supported himself with his body, holding up the explosive charge with his left hand and lighting the fuse with his right hand. With a loud noise, the enemy's bridge bunker was blown up and the red flag was inserted into Longhua Middle School. Dong Cunrui paved the way for the victory of the army with his young life. He was only 19 years old when he died.
background
■ When Cheng, commander of the Corps, inspected Longhua Middle School after the war, he was surprised to find that many soldiers were crying.
■ On the occasion of the second anniversary of the founding of New China, Mao Zedong invited Dong Cunrui's father to attend the National Day ceremony at Tiananmen Gate.
Dong Cunrui's mother received thousands of letters from all over the country. Because Dong Cunrui is the only boy in the family, the most content in the letter is to ask the old man to be a son.
Dong Cunrui, a child of a poor peasant family, has grown from the head of the Children's League and the militia to the main squad leader and war hero. He took the same road as the revolutionary youth in the rural base areas of Qian Qian, that is, pursuing liberation under the education and leadership of the * * * production party. The people's revolutionary war led by China's * * * Production Party is essentially a new peasant war. By giving farmers land, the party led them to overthrow the old wealth and imperialism of landlords, thus arousing the revolutionary spirit. Dong Cunrui is just one of the brilliant representatives.
Shortly after Dong Cunrui's sacrifice, Cheng, the commander of the Corps, led the former enemy commanders into the city to inspect the results and saw many soldiers crying in front of Longhua Middle School. Commander Cheng was surprised and asked them why they were crying after winning the battle. The soldiers introduced Dong Cunrui's feat, which made General Cheng, who had been through many battles, burst into tears. On June 8th, 1948, the Party Committee of Northeast Field Army 1 1 column decided to ratify Dong Cunrui as the fighting hero and model party member of the column, and named his 6 th company and 6 th class "Dong Cunrui Class", stipulating that the organs and troops belonging to the column would observe a three-minute silence when they called the roll. On July 10, the administrative office of Kyrgyzstan issued a decision to rename Longhua Middle School as Cunrui Middle School. 1950, Dong Cunrui was named the national war hero at the national war hero and model worker conference.
On the occasion of the second anniversary of the founding of New China, Mao Zedong invited Dong Cunrui's father, Dong Quanzhong, to attend the National Day ceremony at Tiananmen Gate and received him cordially. Zhu De also wrote an inscription for his monument: "Sacrifice your life for your country and live forever". Dong Cunrui's mother received thousands of letters from all over the country. Because Dong Cunrui is the only boy in the family, the most content in the letter is to ask the old man to be his son.
In the 1950s, when Bayi Film Studio filmed Dong Cunrui, Dong Cunrui in the film shouted out the strong voice of the times: "Go forward for the new China!" However, according to Dong Cunrui's report on the bunker explosion and witnessing his last-minute memories, I don't remember him shouting this sentence. According to Zhao Huan, the screenwriter of the film "Dong Cunrui", "1948 was the stage of the great counterattack in the War of Liberation, and the Party Central Committee issued the" May 1 "call, proposing" to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek and liberate all China! "The slogan" For the New China "came into being under this background."
Although there are elements of processing in literary and artistic works, the martyr did fall in the strategic attack to liberate the whole of China, and he paved the way for the establishment of a new China with his own sacrifice.
story
■ The protagonist did not leave a body. After the explosion, only one shoe was found at the scene, so a wooden sign with a name was placed in the coffin.
Assault Longhua Middle School, Dong Cunrui's blasting group * * * used dynamite 100 kg, which was bundled into 7 packages with linen and hemp rope. The explosive charge in Dong Cunrui is about 15 kg, which is powerful enough to blast the bridge bunker. Afterwards, the comrades searched him at the scene and only confirmed that one shoe was his. Some bloody scattered debris around can only be gathered with the remains of other martyrs.
1957 In the spring, when the Martyrs Cemetery was renovated, the county organized people to dig the martyrs' tombs. Because we didn't know which remains belonged to Dong Cunrui, we had to ask a carpenter to make a four-foot coffin, chose a piece of nanmu, wrote "Use this wood to replace the remains of martyrs" with vermilion, and hid it in the coffin.
Although the hero has no bones, his spirit and grace remain in the world. In the later war of liberation, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and other battlefields, many Dong Cunrui-style heroes emerged.
For example, when Jinzhou was liberated, Liang Shiying, the captain of the second column of the Northeast Field Army 10 Company, blocked the explosive barrels stuffed into the enemy bunker with his body and died with the enemy; In order to commemorate him, the people of Jinzhou named the northwest gate of Jinzhou "Shiyingmen". Yang Gensi, Huang Jiguang and other heroes on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea also showed the shadow of Dong Cunrui.
■ He is a man with a strong personality. I almost didn't join the party because I criticized the company cadres for "eating pig hearts and losing people's hearts."
According to his comrades-in-arms, Dong Cunrui is a man of strong personality. He is optimistic and cheerful, loves to talk and sing, is brave and clever in fighting, and has the courage to take responsibility. He is a rare fighting backbone. At the same time, he also loves to give advice to leaders, which almost affects joining the party for a time.
Once, the company improved its food, and the cooking squad killed a pig and fried another dish with pig's heart and sent it to the company. At the right moment, when Dong Cunrui saw this incident, he immediately felt that cadres should not be specialized, so he sharply criticized the company cadres for "eating the pig's heart and losing the hearts of the people" at the democratic meeting.
When the party branch meeting discussed his joining the party, some people said that he had no respect for leadership and lacked class feelings. The company commander praised him very much for his honesty and frankness, and made a self-criticism: "In the past, the conditions were difficult, and cadres could share joys and sorrows with soldiers;" Now that the situation is good, I have relaxed my demands on myself. Soldiers can suffer, why can't our cadres suffer! " After the company commander said these words, the Party branch finally agreed to recruit Dong Cunrui to join the China Producers' Party.
