1985, the old man saw his portrait in the North Korean Museum: I am still alive, give me the portrait.

1980, China held the 30th anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and North Korean leader Kim Il Sung came to attend. During the talks with, the stories of volunteers such as Huang Jiguang, Qiu, Lai Yongze and Chai Yunzhen reappeared in people's minds. ......

Kim Il Sung said: "Lai Yongze has been found except for the two dead heroes, but Chai Yunzhen's whereabouts are still unknown. I don't know where he is. I still miss him very much! " Deng Xiaoping immediately instructed: "As long as Comrade Chai Yunzhen is still alive in this world, even if he is looking for a needle in a haystack, he must be fished out!"

1September, 1984, Sichuan Daily published an article "Looking for You": "At 195 1, .............................................................................................................. Chai Rongbing looked at Chai Yunzheng in the fifth campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea, a hero described in the newspaper. Except that the name "Zhen" is different from his father's "Zheng", other deeds are basically the same, and even the wounds mentioned in the article are exactly the same as his father.

Chai Rongbing knew that his father had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and his position was consistent with the description in the newspaper. He excitedly took the newspaper home and told his father Chai Yunzhen the news: "Dad, is this for you again?" My father glanced at the contents of the newspaper lightly and said, "What people are looking for is a war hero, which has nothing to do with me."

Chai Rongbing doesn't believe there will be such a coincidence. He continued to ask, "Did you take part in the Puda Peak blockade?" Chai Yunzhen nodded: "I was injured in this battle. In that battle, my comrades in one class and the whole company were killed, leaving me alone ... "Before his father finished, Chai Rongbing said excitedly," You are you, look where the war is! "

Chai Yunzhen waved his hand again and again: "Not me, don't burden the country!" Father's description and report are almost identical. Chai Rongbing doesn't believe there is such a coincidence in the world. Reluctantly, he continued, "What if someone wants to see you? If you know, don't say it. It will make people anxious. Why not write a letter to others and let them have one more clue! "

Chai Yunzhen refused again and again for decades. How can anyone remember that it is no trouble for countries to recognize each other rashly Chai still won't give up: "Don't you want to see your comrades every day? It's good to see the old chief of the old comrades-in-arms! "Chai Yunzhen suddenly silent, the expression on her face became dignified. She walked back to her room alone.

That night, Chai Yunzhen stayed up all night, and those dusty memories gradually reappeared. The family has been trying to persuade Chai Yunzhen these days, but he is still quietly and helpless. Chai took a step back: "Even if the person you are looking for in the newspaper is not you, then you know something about the situation at that time. If you can tell the truth, it will help the organization, right? "

Chai Yunzhen has always regarded the principle of party spirit as more important than life. The son's words also caught Chai Yunzhen's weakness, and he finally put it down. The father and son sold the fat pig at home, scraped together the round-trip fare and boarded the train to Wuhan. When he came to the station of Xiaogan Military Division in Hubei Province, Chai truthfully told the situation: "My father's name is Chai Yunzhen. He participated in the Battle of Park Dafeng and may know some clues. "

The guard quickly reported the situation to the leader. After receiving the news, Wen, director of the Political Department, quickly arranged to meet him at the guest house. Seeing Chai Yunzhen, Director Wen shook hands with him excitedly and found his broken index finger. Director Wen asked, "Old comrades, your hand ..."

"This finger was bitten off by the enemy in the battle of Park Dafeng." Director Wen has never seen him, but he has heard about Chai Yunzhen's deeds. This time, he asked, but only to confirm his identity. Later, he confirmed some other information with Chai Yunzhen, which was basically universal.

He asked Chai Yunzhen again, "Are you injured anywhere else?" Chai Yunzhen brushed her hair away: "I was stoned to death by a black devil on the battlefield and my head was injured." Director Wen came forward to check, and more than 20 scars as long as rice grains came into view, which was shocking.

Chai Yunzhen's scars are basically the same as what Wen knows, but in order to be more secure, Wen called Sun Hongfa who came back from the ground carrying the injured Chai Yunzhen all the way to confirm. After some conversation, it was finally confirmed that Chai Yunzhen was the national hero they were looking for.

The army invited all the cadres who were still in the original army. Seeing these old comrades-in-arms, Chai Yunzhen came up to him excitedly and called their names one by one. The old leaders looked at the scars on Chai Yunzhen's hands and head, and the memories of more than 30 years ago reappeared. They asked the details of the war, and Chai Yunzhen answered them all.

The teacher choked and held Chai Yunzhen's hand: "Yunzhen! I finally found you! " Chai Yunzhen burst into tears. After more than 30 years, he returned to the army again and was very excited: "I didn't expect everyone to remember me, and the party and the country can still remember me!" On the day of 65438+ 10, the troops were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, which was unprecedented. All the soldiers welcomed the return of the old hero with reverence.

On the rostrum, Chai Yunzhen, dressed in a neat military uniform, stood solemnly on the stage. The leaders of the Central Military Commission came specially to put the medals of "special hero" and "first-class combat hero" on Chai Yunzhen's chest. This honor was awarded to Chai Yunzhen more than 30 years ago, but it was so late because of the word difference.

Looking at the dark crowd, Chai Yunzhen couldn't believe that she had changed from an ordinary farmer to a hero who attracted everyone's attention. He walked carefully to the microphone, recalling the life and death experiences buried in his heart for a long time. ......

1947, Chai Yunzhen, 17 years old, was captured by the Kuomintang and forced to join the army. In the army, it is not uncommon for soldiers on the front line to go hungry, and officers are bossing around. Not only that, they often insult and abuse soldiers. Chai Yunzhen was very disgusted with this behavior, and the soldiers were full of resentment.

All the soldiers are tired of fighting and don't want to work for the Kuomintang. In many battles with the PLA, they all surrendered without fighting. 1948, the Huaihai Campaign started, and Chai Yunzhen's troops were forced to rush to the front to fight. The soldiers didn't want to fight, and the defeat of the Kuomintang army in China during the Liaoshen campaign made them panic.

"The Kuomintang does not provide food for soldiers. It's too cold on a snowy day. The soldiers are all hungry. How can they be in the mood to fight? " Chai Yunzhen recalled: "* * * producers shouted with loudspeakers at the front line and sent steaming steamed buns to the position. The soldiers couldn't help being hungry for a long time, so they voted for buns. "

In this way, Chai Yunzhen joined the ranks of the People's Liberation Army. In the people's army, Chai Yunzhen really felt the difference between the * * * production party and the Kuomintang army. They treat prisoners well, care for the poor, and serve the people wholeheartedly by "making profits for the people". This policy made Chai Yunzhen determined to fight the proletarian revolution to the end.

Soon, the battle of crossing the river started, and Chai Yunzhen was the first to bear the brunt as a machine gunner. He repeatedly silenced the enemy's bunker with machine guns, knocked down more than a dozen enemy commanders, and seized three heavy machine guns and a lot of ammunition. In the battle of crossing the river, Chai Yunzhen won the second class.

After that, he made meritorious military service, and1949,65438+gloriously joined the producer party of China in February. 1950, the American-led war of aggression against the DPRK began. In order to defend the country, China resolutely sent troops to fight. Chai Yunzhen took the lead and naturally joined the ranks of volunteers.

At the end of May, 195 1, the American army, which was beaten to pieces by our army, suddenly concentrated its forces and followed us when our army retreated northward. 134 regiment was ordered to turn around and stop, and launched a tenacious and heroic blocking war in Park Dafeng. Enemy planes are densely covered in the sky, and hail bombs are one after another, with great disparity in strength. After five days and nights of fierce fighting, our army lost two hills.

Park Dafeng Mountain is the last line of defense of Wusheng Mountain. Once it is occupied, the enemy will push south. The battalion commander ordered the determined sniper to recapture the position, and this arduous task also fell on Chai Yunzhen's shoulder. He resolutely led nine soldiers from seven classes to launch a counterattack against the enemy.

As night fell, the enemy's flares were particularly dazzling. Chai Yunzhen led five soldiers to walk ahead in the gap where the flare fell and went around the mountain. Others shot at the enemy in another direction to attract his attention. Soon, he led five soldiers to climb the hill from the rear, a Grenade passed by, the enemy was instantly eliminated, and the first hill was successfully recaptured.

With the lesson of the first hill, the enemy has fully stationed a battalion on the second hill, making it much more difficult to recapture the second hill. Chai Yunzhen asked five soldiers to stab the enemy in the back in different positions, while he led three soldiers to climb the cliff and walk to the mountain. The enemy found them charging forward, which was a random shot at the rock wall.

Chai Yunzhen and three soldiers could not move forward. After more than half an hour, Chai Yunzhen ordered them to crawl forward, so they climbed halfway up the mountain with bullets. They quickly picked up machine guns to destroy the enemy, then quietly reached the top of the mountain, killed the enemy at the top of the mountain, and successfully regained the second mountain.

Chai Yunzhen, who successfully regained his position, did not relax his vigilance. He knew that the enemy would not let go easily, so he was ready to fight back early in the morning. Sure enough, the enemy launched a powerful counterattack early the next morning. However, in the face of enemy planes and artillery, Chai Yunzhen and his party were beaten with no strength to fight back. Finally, with the help of their teammates, they hurried out of the position.

Looking at the remaining teammates, the position was lost again, and Chai Yunzhen felt like a knife. After a short rest, Chai Yunzhen led six soldiers to attack again. However, the strength of the enemy and the enemy was very different, and they soon fell into a situation of running out of ammunition and food. The enemy advanced in fear and prepared to take four people alive. Suddenly, four volunteers suddenly grabbed submachine guns in their hands and stood on the top of the mountain like giants, just shooting at the enemy crazily.

The enemy was frightened by the sudden shooting and stopped. Just as the four men were running out of ammunition, two veterans came and brought ammunition. While changing bullets, the enemy got up and started shooting at them. Chai Yunzhen was furious when he saw two soldiers and veterans delivering ammunition fall at his feet.

He picked up a machine gun and kept shooting, while another soldier kept throwing grenades at the enemy. In this way, the position was held and the enemy retreated temporarily. Looking at the red flag flying high on the ground, Chai Yunzhen smiled. After dinner, the battalion commander added two soldiers to Chai Yunzhen and continued to attack the position.

With the support of rear fire, Chai Yunzhen succeeded in winning the enemy's first line of defense. He led several people on. After a dark stump, Chai Yunzhen found the enemy command post hidden in the cave. He touched the cave, took out a Grenade and threw it in. After a loud noise, only the cries of the enemy were left all over the mountain.

Seeing this, the enemy soldiers guarding the mountain pass fled down the mountain. After gathering more than 100 companions stationed on the mountainside, they attacked Chai Yunzhen and others on the mountainside again. Chai Yunzhen commanded his teammates to make a fierce counterattack. After a stalemate, the enemy fled and died, and the battlefield was in a mess, with corpses everywhere.

Although he won, Chai Yunzhen was left alone, and he was already scarred. He struggled to get up and just wanted to relax. There are rustling footsteps on his back. He turned quickly, picked up a machine gun and fired at it. Three American devils were killed on the spot, and the enemy's bullets hit him right on the arm and waist. He endured severe pain and tried to shoot the last enemy, but the bullets in the gun just ran out.

He threw away his machine gun and rushed at the devil. When the American devils saw this, they also threw away their guns and started hand-to-hand combat with Chai Yunzhen. There was a scuffle between the two sides. Chai Yunzhen was arrested by the devil several times, but the devil didn't get a bargain. Chai Yunzhen scratched his face with one ear. The American devil pulled out the dagger, and Chai Yunzhen pushed the devil to the ground in despair, and the dagger also fell down the mountain.

Taking advantage of the gap, Chai Yunzhen stabbed the enemy's head with his hands and tried to dig the enemy's eyes with his hands, but the enemy opened his mouth and Chai Yunzhen's index finger was bitten off by the devil. Chai Yunzhen's eyes were black with pain and she fainted to the ground. The enemy did not give up. He grabbed a stone next to him and threw it at Chai Yunzhen's head. Chai Yunzhen suddenly felt his brains splattered and his blood flowed profusely.

A moment later, the mountain quieted down, and Chai Yunzhen, covered in blood, lay motionless on the ground. The American devils thought Chai Yunzhen was dead and hurried down the mountain. Just after escaping, Chai Yunzhen slowly opened his eyes and rolled over to get the gun left by the enemy. His eyes were red and he pulled the trigger with all his last strength. Bang, the enemy fell, and Chai Yunzhen was completely unconscious.

When I woke up again, Chai Yunzhen had been sent to Inner Mongolia Military Region Hospital. The doctor stared at Chai Yunzhen in surprise: "It's a miracle that you can wake up!" When Chai Yunzhen was in a coma, reinforcements arrived. A comrade-in-arms named Sun Hongfa saw that he was still breathing and took him back to the field hospital. Peng also ordered to save Chai Yunzhen at all costs.

After many twists and turns, Chai Yunzhen finally woke up in Baotou Hospital. He has lost contact with the army, and there is no news after repeated inquiries. Moreover, he has become a disabled person and can no longer pull the trigger. After thinking for a long time, Chai Yunzhen gave up looking for troops. After a year's rest in the hospital, he returned to his hometown with a disability certificate and food stamps.

He didn't know that the country had not forgotten him, and his deeds were widely praised in the army. Every time he mentions them, people can't help but have a boiling passion and tears. He became an example to many soldiers in the army and inspired thousands of volunteers. Both Huang Jiguang and Qiu regarded him as an example.

He returned to his hometown in faded military uniform, and Chai Yunzhen hugged his white-haired mother excitedly: "I'm back!" " Mother stared at him for a long time, as if she didn't believe her son was still alive ... After returning home, Chai Yunzhen buried the past in her heart. Few people know that this ordinary farmer was once a great hero on the battlefield.

It was not until the appearance of Looking for You that Chai Yunzhen's deeds returned to people's ears. Chai Yunzhen burst into tears: "I can't believe the country still remembers me!" In his eyes, he just did what he should do. He never felt how great what he did and never wanted to get anything in return, but history will never forget any hero.

From 65438 to 0985, Kim Il Sung invited Chai Yunzhen and other heroic delegations to visit North Korea and personally awarded Chai Yunzhen the "First Class Medal of Freedom and Independence". In the North Korean Military Museum, Chai Yunzhen saw his portrait, and the introducer said, "This hero is a martyr Chai Yunzhen who died in the fifth battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea!"

Looking at his portrait, Chai Yunzhen had mixed feelings: "I am still alive, please give me this portrait!" After the report, Chai Yunzhen personally took off his "portrait". Others lamented that he was a "living hero!" He said heavily: "I am not a hero, the real heroes are those comrades who died!" " "

The country tried to help Chai Yunzhen many times, but Chai Yunzhen said, "All my comrades are dead. I should do more things for them in this world without any requirements. " On February 20 18, Chai Yunzhen passed away, and in February 20021year, Chai Yunzhen was awarded the "July 1st Medal" by the Central Committee. Chai Rongbing took the whole family to his father's grave: "Dad, what do you think this medal looks like?". The people of the whole country have not forgotten you ... "

Amazing feats cast a monument, and the heroic spirit will last forever. Ear, as if also echoed with the old hero Chai's words: "Honor belongs to the motherland and the people, I want to make more contributions to repay ..."
