Stories about Taizhou revolutionary heroes

Too many, too many, here are a few examples.

Yang Gensi (National Combat Hero and Special Combat Hero)

Yang Gensi (1922-November 29, 1950), whose real name is Yang Gengxi, is a national combat hero of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and a Chinese People's Volunteer Army Super fighting hero, revolutionary martyr, native of Taixing County, Jiangsu Province. Born into a poor peasant family, he worked as a child laborer. Joined the New Fourth Army in February 1944. Joined the Communist Party of China in November 1945. He joined the Chinese People's Volunteer Army in October 1950 and died in battle in November 1950.

Yang Gensi (November 6, 1922 - November 29, 1950) was the first special meritorious official and special combat hero of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and the first "Korean Democratic People's Liberation Army" of the Chinese People's Volunteers **Hero of the Republic of China". The title of "Super Hero" - only Yang Gensi and Huang Jiguang have won this level of honor in our army so far. On September 14, 2009, he was named one of the 100 people who have touched China since the founding of New China.

In 1922, Yang Gensi was born into a poor peasant family in Taixing, Jiangsu Province. His parents died young. In order to survive, 12-year-old Yang Gensi came to Shanghai with his brother to work as a child laborer weaving carpets.

One day in September 1939, when Yang Gensi was dragging a heavy wool cart through a busy section of the road, the newsboy's cry came to his ears: "Look at the top news, the New Fourth Army burned down Hongqiao Airport!"< /p>

New Fourth Army, these three words took root in Yang Gensi’s heart for the first time.

In 1944, Yang Gensi finally joined the New Fourth Army and became a new soldier in the 9th Platoon, 3rd Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Regiment, and began a life of fighting in the north and south.

Yang Gensi, who had just joined the New Fourth Army, was full of energy, but there was one thing he was not satisfied with, that is, he had only received one spear after joining the army for almost a month. Yang Gen wanted a gun, but the platoon leader told him: If you want a gun, you must practice your ability to kill the enemy and use the spear in your hand to capture the enemy's gun!

The opportunity finally came.

On the evening of February 22, 1945, the order to attack Shagou Town came. Soldiers from all battalions boarded the ships one after another and set off according to the planned plan. Shagou Town is an island in the center of Shagou Lake with a radius of more than 20 miles. It is also an important town between Huai'an, Baoying, Yancheng and Xinghua. Since the enemy and puppet forces took hold, a long embankment was built around the town. There were many bunkers on the embankment, and there were clusters of bunkers in the town. The enemies in the bunkers were able to block the nearby lake with firepower. A regiment of Liu Xiangtu's 22nd Division of the Puppet Army was stationed here. It relied on the vast moat and solid fortifications to resist stubbornly, and became a "nail" stuck in our base area in northern Jiangsu.

The battle was very fierce. Among the defenders were the "Steel Helmet Company" that Liu Xiangtu relied on to start his career. They fought until dawn with their sophisticated equipment. In the end, the puppet troops who could not withstand the fierce offensive of the New Fourth Army fled one after another.

Yang Gensi stared at a puppet soldier with a gun and pursued him closely. "Hand over the gun and don't kill!"

The puppet soldier looked back and saw a New Fourth Army soldier holding a spear chasing him. He couldn't help but feel brave: "You want my gun, I want your life. "The puppet army's guns were out of bullets, and they only dared to threaten Yang Gensi with bluff. The spear pointed at the tip of the spear, Yang Gensi's footsteps moved with the other's footsteps, and the two of them circled, looking for opportunities. Yang Gensi swung the spearhead to the left, yelled: "Kill!" but quickly stabbed to the right. With a "dang" sound, the puppet soldier crooked his arms and used the butt of his gun to block the spear that pierced his side, breaking into a sweat.

In the sky filled with gunpowder smoke, there were sounds of killing. Suddenly, Yang Gensi suddenly picked up the spear and shouted: "Squad leader, you come from behind!" When the puppet soldier heard that there was someone behind him, he couldn't help being shocked. Just as he was about to turn around, Yang Gensi's sharp spearhead had pierced him. heart. That's how I got my first gun.

Yang Gensi's childhood friend Zhang Ruicheng once lamented, "I knew Yang Gensi could become a hero, because he dared to do things that others dare not do!"

May 1945 Shangguan Yunxiang, deputy commander of the Third War Zone of the Kuomintang Army, commanded about 10 divisions to launch a massive attack on our Tianmu Mountain area. In early June, the Kuomintang troops occupied our two cities, Xindeng and Lin'an, and divided their troops into three groups to advance towards Xiaofeng City. The enemy's front-line strength consists of 28 regiments. At the same time, the Japanese invaders assembled two divisions in Hangzhou, Wuxing and other places to wait for opportunities to attack our flanks and rear. However, there are only more than 10 regiments of our army in western Zhejiang, and the strength of the troops is very different. Su Yu, commander of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Military Region, decided to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and lure the enemy deeper.

Our troops continued to retreat, and the enemy was so eager for success that they divided their forces and advanced rashly, creating opportunities for our troops to be annihilated one by one.

At night, the old regiment set off from Xiaofeng City in the drizzle. Walking at the front of the regiment was the 9th Squadron, 3rd Company, 3rd Platoon of the 1st Battalion. They have to penetrate 25 miles from the enemy, like a sharp knife piercing Peach Blossom Mountain.

Pairs of feet wearing straw sandals ran quickly on the gravel path. After a while, I saw sparks shining in the village ahead, and the enemy sentry was smoking.

"Take off the sentry!" the squad leader ordered in a low voice. The soldiers crawled toward the bridge. The enemy noticed it and shouted: "Which one?"

Without being able to tell, Yang Gensi threw out a grenade, and with a "bang", there was a ball of fire in front of him. Yang Gensi rushed towards a row of houses behind the enemy sentry. The enemies inside threw a row of grenades, and Yang Gensi pounced on them alertly, pulling the trigger and killing several enemies. The comrades rushed forward, and the remaining enemies had no choice but to surrender.

A burst of sharp gunfire came from the flank, and two tongues of flames blocked the intervening road. In a large house in the southwest of the village, two heavy machine guns were desperately spraying fire at the 3rd company. The soldiers were lying on the ground unable to move forward.

Yang Gensi crawled to the squad leader and said: "Give me 2 grenades!" Under the cover of the light machine gun, Yang Gensi was the first to rush towards the big house.

The battalion commander came and asked anxiously: "Why don't you take action?" The squad leader pointed his hand, and the battalion commander saw a black shadow moving towards the enemy's firepower point.

The battalion commander asked: "Who is that?" "Yang Gensi!"

As soon as the squad leader finished speaking, after two loud bangs, the enemy's heavy machine gun became "dumb" .

The troops occupied the village and plunged into the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain. Our army declared victory with the glorious result of annihilating more than 20,000 enemies.

Yang Gensi also made meritorious deeds for the first time, which greatly stimulated his motivation to accomplish extraordinary feats. In the battle after battle, Yang Gensi practiced throwing grenades to perfection. In the words of his comrades, he was "simply amazing."

The most miraculous time was during the battle against Tai'an in 1946, when he used 18 grenades to capture the city's commanding heights - the Catholic Church.

At that time, Yang Gensi's class was ordered to attack the Catholic Church. When they rushed to a row of houses in front of the church, they could not open the door. The enemy kept throwing grenades from the roof. At the critical moment, Yang Gensi rushed to an open area five or six meters away from the eaves, faced the enemy's bullets, opened his bow with both hands, and continuously threw grenades towards the roof. Unexpectedly, the enemy's crazy bullets also hit Yang Gensi's face, leaving him bloody and bloody. The squad leader even bandaged his eyes regardless of Yang Gensi's objections.

Incredibly, under the command of the squad leader, blindfolded Yang Gensi also threw two grenades, and both of them hit the target accurately.

After this battle, Yang Gensi won the title of "Combat Hero" for the first time.

After that, Yang Gensi became obsessed with explosives.

In January 1946, the troops arrived in Yanzhou, an important military town. The regiment wanted to select people to go to the brother troops to learn demolition, and Yang Gensi was the first to sign up. After studying in the brother army, Yang Gensi solved the mystery in his heart. It turns out that the explosives are neither like the powder in the grenade nor the particles in the bullet, but in pieces, some like long rice cakes, and some like soap. Some weigh four ounces, and some weigh half a catty. Explosive packs must be delivered by blasters.

While studying, Yang Gensi met the famous blasting hero Lin Maocheng. Lin Maocheng is a blasting teacher. Yang Gensi admires him very much and is particularly attentive to learning. After listening to the teacher's explanation, Yang Gensi focused all his attention on blasting technology except eating and sleeping every day.

After the training class, Yang Gensi returned to the company and quickly became a master of blasting.

In October 1946, the land of southern Shandong was shrouded in war clouds. Yixian, Zaozhuang, and Guoliji were successively occupied by the enemy. The soldiers were heartbroken and their mood for war was high.

Yang Gensi’s squad received the assault mission. After nightfall, the troops marched towards the enemy's forward position in Guoli in the autumn rain. Yang Gensi carried on his shoulders a 24-pound iron guy named Larei with a round head and a wooden handle on his tail. This was a new thing and Yang Gensi was using it for the first time.

I wanted to take advantage of the night to carry out a sneak attack, but I was discovered by the enemy at the front, so I had no choice but to attack by force! Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy's firepower was suppressed, Yang Gensi rushed to the bunker with Lalei in his arms, put a ring of fire on his fingers and pulled hard, then ran back and lay on the ground, expecting a loud sound like a landslide.

The soldiers were ready to charge, but a few minutes passed and Larrey did not "react." No explosions could be heard except for the heavy gunfire. The correspondent came up and conveyed the company commander's order: Explode quickly!

"I'm going to get another larei!" After a while, Yang Gensi returned to the position carrying the larei brought from another class. But the Larei sent up this time still did not explode. It turned out that the continuous autumn rain made Larei damp. Yang Gensi was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and took back the third Larei from the battalion headquarters.

Under the night, a dark figure was groping in front of the enemy's position. That was Yang Gensi. When Yang Gensi put down the third pulley and was about to pull the string, he had an idea: the first two pulley leads were wet, and if they were put together with the third pulley, they would definitely explode together! He placed the third Larei at the bottom and the first two on top, forming an inverted "pin" shape. He pulled the string sharply, and the fuse smoked and squeaked.

Yang Gensi ran down excitedly: "Fix the bayonet and prepare to charge!"

With an earth-shattering noise, half of the enemy's bunker was blown up. Yang Gensi and his comrades rushed into the thicket. In smoke.

After the battle, at the entire regiment's awards ceremony, the regiment leader read out the "Award Order": conferring the honorable title of "King of Explosives" to Yang Gensi. [1]

In January 1947, victory in the Lunan Battle was in sight. At this time, Yang Gensi has become the deputy squad leader of Class 9.

The order to attack Qicun came. Qicun is an important town on the Lin (Yi) Zao (Zhuang) line. It is located about 3 kilometers west of Zaozhuang and consists of two Tuweizi on the east and west. To defend the enemy was the reorganized 113th Brigade Headquarters of the 51st Division, led by 2 battalions of the 337th Regiment, plus a baggage battalion and a mountain artillery company. This enemy force had just been refitted and had sufficient ammunition. It formed a deep defensive position with layers of fortifications such as trenches, walls, bunkers, and bunkers. Having been surrounded by our troops for five days, the enemy brigade commander Li Yutang still tried to rely on the fortifications to wait for relief.

The battalion commander issued a mission to the blasters of the assault platoon, "Leader of the first blasting team!"

Martyr Yang Gensi

"Yes!" Yang Gensi said to A big step forward.

"Okay, King of Explosives!" The battalion commander patted Yang Gensi on the shoulder, "Are there any difficulties?"

"There is no difficulty that cannot be overcome!"

The battle to attack the enemy brigade headquarters will be launched at night. Before nightfall, Yang Gensi carefully observed the terrain and enemy firepower points.

There is a large circular bunker at the intersection, with three small bunkers next to it. Crossfire blocked an open area. There is also a large square bunker to the northeast of the large circular bunker.

Yang Gensi accepted the task of blasting the large circular bunker and took his deputies to wait for the order to attack.

Yang Gensi and his deputy each held an explosive bag, used cars and cannons as cover, and ran under a broken wall. Just as he was about to climb over the broken wall to send the explosive package up, he unexpectedly alerted the enemy, and the firepower suddenly focused on them. Yang Gensi raised his head and felt a burning pain in his ear. A bullet grazed his ear.

Seeing the enemy's firepower becoming more and more intense, Yang Gensi was extremely anxious.

Yang Gensi and his assistant had to return to the trenches and met the deputy commander.

"What's going on? It's not exploded yet?" asked the deputy leader. "Yang Gensi requested permission to sacrifice!" "Approval to sacrifice? Why?" "To complete the combat mission!"

"No! You can consider another method of attack!" The deputy commander ordered: "Get that seat immediately The Sifang Bunker is blown up!"

Yang Gensi ran to the Sifang Bunker with the explosives in hand. He set up the explosive pack and was about to pull the string when he heard the enemy making a noise in the bunker.

"There is still a way to survive if you surrender. People treat prisoners better. Surrender early and survive early. It is better to surrender than wait for death."

When Yang Gensi heard the enemy clamoring to surrender, he made a prompt decision and grabbed him With the explosive pack, he jumped into the traffic ditch, flew up and kicked open the bunker door. Like a magic soldier descending from the sky, he shouted: "If you don't kill me if you surrender your gun, anyone who dares to resist will be reimbursed!" With that, he threw the explosive pack into the ditch. Clamp it in the crook of your left arm, grab the string with your right hand, and make a pulling gesture. There was a platoon of enemies in the bunker. They were frightened when they saw Yang Gensi falling from the sky.

Yang Gensi took a step back and said sternly: "Run out one by one and put the guns in front of the bunker door!"

At this time, the soldiers from the assault platoon also came up and took the prisoners. They kept it.

Fierce gunshots and explosions shook the night sky, shouts of killing rang out from all directions, and the entire village defending the enemy was wiped out by me!

After dawn, the soldiers escorted Li Yutang, commander of the enemy's 113th Brigade, to the regiment headquarters. Li Yutang sighed with emotion: "Your army's cannons are really powerful!"

The deputy commander smiled and said: "What cannons are they? They are explosives!"

Comments on merit after the war , Yang Gensi was rated as a first-class combat hero in East China.

In November, the high mountains in northeastern North Korea were covered with several feet of snow, and crazy enemy planes kept circling at low altitude. In order to prevent the enemy planes from noticing, Yang Gensi's location was The troops had to camp in the ravine. The soldiers collected some dead branches and spread them on the snow, propped up the tarp with tree poles, and slept inside. The strong wind outside made the oilcloth whistle, and large chunks of snow fell on the quilt. The soldiers gritted their teeth from the cold.

Company commander Yang Gensi came to each squad to inspect and found that Wu Fu, a young southern soldier, was "inexperienced" and his feet were swollen and his ears were split due to the cold. Yang Gensi hurriedly studied with the instructor how to prevent freezing. In the afternoon, he led all the soldiers in the company to run. After that, he mobilized everyone to "wipe their faces" and "wipe their hands" with snow until their faces glowed red and steamed. Next, Yang Gensi mobilized the soldiers to conduct mountain attack training. This not only exercised the team's combat capabilities, but also enhanced the soldiers' physical strength to withstand the wind and cold.

Seventh squad soldier Lin Dayuan used to work as a long-term laborer for the landlord. His feet were so cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter that he was told how to prevent freezing: tear the corn husks into strips, rub them hard with your hands, and then Use it to wrap your feet and it will be as warm as new cotton shoes. Lin Dayuan brought this method to the army. After Yang Gensi discovered it, he quickly promoted it to the entire company. Thus, the pain of the soldiers is greatly reduced.

Dense artillery shells, bombs and napalm bombs fell on Xiaogaoling, and there was a loud explosion.

On November 29, 1950, the US Army’s ace division, the 1st Marine Division, launched a fierce attack on Highland 1071 in an attempt to break out of our army’s encirclement.

50 meters, 30 meters... the enemy is getting closer and closer. "Fight!" Following the roar of company commander Yang Gensi, our army's light and heavy weapons opened fire at the same time, and the enemies fell one after another.

After a period of intense and indiscriminate bombardment, two enemy companies rushed over again under the cover of eight tanks.

"Wait until we get closer before fighting!" Yang Gensi said to his men.

Enemies armed with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles gradually approached, all with ferocious faces. Yang Gensi threw out a grenade and jumped out of the trench, "For the sake of the motherland, charge forward!" The soldiers rushed towards the enemy group like tigers, and in an instant, there were sounds of gunfire, fighting, and shouts of killing.

Throwing corpses on the ground, the US military retreated hastily.

Enemies eager to escape came in droves again. Yang Gensi ordered the squad leader of Squad 8 to lead several soldiers to launch an attack from the mountainside.

Suffering heavy blows from the front and sides, the enemy had to immediately call for tank fire to cover their retreat.

“Blow up the tank!” Yang Gensi, a former demolitionist, picked up the explosive package and was about to rush out. At this time, Zhao Youxin, a soldier from Squad 7, grabbed the explosive package and rushed towards the enemy tank.

Under the cover of fire, Zhao Youxin cleverly placed the explosive package under the sprocket of the tank. "Boom!" The tank shook violently and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

There was a rare gap in the battle, and Yang Gensi asked the troops to rest and recuperate on the spot. At this time, a soldier from Squad 8 came up with a grenade and brought a note written by Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Guodong.

"Dear comrades of the 3rd Company, you are a steel company. You must hold your position. I believe you will be able to hold it!" After Yang Gensi finished reading word for word, he said excitedly, "Comrades! This is the chief’s encouragement to us and the hope of the people of the motherland. As long as we still have breath, we will fight the enemy to the end!”

Martyr Yang Gensi picked up the explosive bag and died together with the enemy

The enemy's 8th attack was repulsed!

Yang Gensi checked and found that only he and the machine gun team were left. In order to protect the weapons, he ordered the heavy machine gun platoon leader and the wounded shooter to withdraw with the loaded heavy machine guns, leaving him alone on the position.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The raised dust and strong smell of gunpowder smoke once again enveloped this less than 100 square meter position. The dying enemies rushed forward one after another.

The enemy is about to set foot on Highland 1071.

Suddenly, Yang Gensi stood up suddenly and rushed towards the enemy: in his hand was a smoking explosive bag... With a loud bang, he and the enemy died together

On November 6, 1922, Yang Gensi Born in Yangguolangdian, Taixing County, Jiangsu Province (now Gensi Village, Gensi Township, Taixing City). When he was a child, he worked as a child laborer in a capitalist factory in Shanghai. After he lost his job and returned to his hometown, he worked as a "cowherd" for the landlord's family. In 1944, he gloriously became a soldier of the New Fourth Army. In November 1945, due to his outstanding performance, he honorably joined the Communist Party of China. In combat, he was resourceful and brave. In the battle to encircle and annihilate the enemy defenders in Tai'an, he used 18 grenades to seize the commanding heights; in the battle of Guoliji in Lunan, he threw Lalei into the enemy bunker three times; in the battle of Qicun, he continuously Destroyed a group of enemy bunkers; in the third stage of the Huaihai Campaign, he was ordered to lead a reinforced platoon to attack the Kuomintang defenders in Xiazhai, cleverly destroyed a group of bunkers and captured nearly a platoon of enemies[1].

In November, during the second battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Yang Gensi, then the company commander of a certain unit of the Volunteer Army, was ordered to lead a platoon to guard the small southeastern small ridge of 1071.1 highland outside Hagaryu-ri, and was responsible for cutting off the U.S. military. South escape route. 28-year-old Yang Gensi is a veteran of the New Fourth Army. He has participated in dozens of battles, including the Huaihai Campaign, and has won numerous military exploits. He is a famous combat model and blasting hero. He just attended the first National Combat Hero Representative Conference in September. Received by Mao Zedong and other central leaders. This was the first time he had experienced such a cruel battle. Yang Gensi, who was born as a beggar, certainly knows the value of standing up better than anyone else, but he also knows better the significance of this value to his compatriots who have just stood up. Of course, he also understood better the importance of the position under his feet to the group of American devils in front of him. This importance cannot be ceded to the American devils. Unless they're stepping on their own corpses. It’s nothing. Once we entered the battlefield, we never thought about returning alive. Today’s Chinese people are Chinese people who have stood up, and they must die standing up.

On the 29th, the 1st Marine Division of the US Army, known as the "Ace" Army, began to attack Xiaogaoling. The fierce artillery fire destroyed most of the fortifications. He led the entire platoon to quickly repair the fortifications and prepare for battle. When the U.S. military was only 30 meters away, he led the entire platoon to fire suddenly, quickly repelling the U.S. military's first attack. Then, the US military organized two companies of troops and launched another attack under the cover of eight tanks. He commanded the soldiers to rush into the enemy group bravely and fight with bayonets, gun butts and shovels. During the fierce battle, another group of U.S. troops rushed to the top of the mountain. He personally led the 7th and 9th squads to fight head-on, and commanded the 8th squad to insert themselves from the mountainside into the enemy's rear, repelling the U.S. troops again. The US military then carried out indiscriminate bombardment of Xiaogaoling with air and ground artillery fire, and then launched a group charge. He led the entire platoon to fight tenaciously, and with the heroic spirit of "people in position, in position", he repelled 8 attacks by the US military in succession.

At 10 a.m., after the 1st U.S. Marine Division launched eight attacks, there were only two wounded soldiers left in the platoon, and all ammunition was used up. The reinforcements were still on the way, and the American soldiers were about to rush forward again. The injured Communist Party member Yang Gensi calmly placed the last explosive package in front of him, and calmly said to the two wounded: "You go down, take the heavy machine gun down, don't leave it behind." American devils. ""Company commander, you..." The wounded

Yang Gensi Martyr's Monument

we don't want to abandon their company commander. "This is an order!" Yang Gensi said firmly. "Yes!" The wounded man choked and gave Yang Gensi a solemn military salute, then climbed down from the position dragging the heavy machine gun. When the grenades were thrown and the last bullet was fired, more than 40 American soldiers from the First Marine Division rushed up. Yang Gensi stood up and pulled the fuse. The fuse was smoking, and Yang Gensi strode towards the American soldiers. The American soldiers didn't even think that this man was here to fight, and they didn't even shoot. What could one person do? When I got closer, I noticed the smoking fuse, and I turned my head with a cry and tried to run away. With a loud noise, the enemy rotted and turned into soil, and the warriors turned into stars! ! !

Because he was tall and holding a telescope, he rushed ahead and was discovered by Wu Jiaze's Japanese and puppet troops. A machine gun fired at him and he died heroically with six bullets in his body. When the enemy was cleaning the battlefield, they found his body. They cut off his head and took it to Taizhou to ask for a reward from the Japanese chief Nan Xiangji.

In the spring of 1928, encouraged by the Jiangbei Special Committee to convey the spirit of the "August 7th" meeting of the Party Central Committee, he led the peasant armed forces to stage the "May 1st" Rutai peasant riot. Later, he failed because the enemy was strong and we were weak, and he hid in a small boat in Huajiashe in the northeast of Taizhou. The new warlord issued a wanted order and offered a reward of 2,000 oceans for his capture. On June 25, after the enemy got the news, they surrounded Huajiashe. He was eventually arrested for failing to dive. On June 28, 1928, he was kidnapped by the reactionaries and executed at Taizhou University Campus. On the way, he remained calm and composed, regarded death as if he were at home, held his head high and his chest high, and showed awe-inspiring righteousness. Along the way, he shouted "Long live the Communist Party of China!" and died heroically. In order to forever commemorate this revolutionary pioneer, the people of Taizhou built the "Martyr Shen Yi Martyrdom Site" at the Municipal Stadium (formerly the University Stadium) in July 1991 as a permanent memorial.
