Zoucheng Wang Bin calligraphy

1April, 1984 to1June, 1989, the people of China * * * waged a protracted offensive and defensive war against the Vietnamese troops invading Laoshan and Zheyinshan areas of China in Malipo County, Yunnan Province, which was known as the "Two Mountains Campaign" in history. During the five and a half years, six group armies (armies), 1 infantry division, 15 reconnaissance brigade and their related reinforcements participated in the war. During the whole operation, our army captured six people, namely Wang Bin and Bai Zhili of 14 Army, and Wang Nianshun, Li Linhai, Jiang Wenda and Miao Furong of 67 Army. Among them, only Wang Bin, who was the assistant instructor of the 40th Division of 14 Army/Company 2 of 1 8 Battalion, was an officer, and the other five were soldiers. Wang Bin was unfortunately captured on April 28th, 1984, which was the first day of the 40th Division's battle to recapture Laoshan. The 1 18 Regiment 1 Battalion, to which he belongs, made outstanding achievements in the self-defense counterattack and border defense battle against Vietnam in 1979, and was awarded the honorary title of "Hero Battalion" by the Central Military Commission. Five years later, the old mountainous area was recovered, and 1 battalion undertook arduous and glorious interspersed combat tasks: First, it captured the 76th highland and 1072 highland, forming a positive internal and external situation, breaking the enemy's retreat and blocking the enemy's reinforcements; After that, the main force of the battalion continued to attack Laoshan along the 49 th and 48 th highlands, and cooperated with the main force of the regiment to destroy the enemy in Laoshan area. Regrettably, before the war, the commander of 14 changed the original infiltration route of 1 battalion, raised this line from the foot of the mountain to the hillside, and asked the troops to cross the boundary between 80 and 59 highlands and infiltrate along 79 and 78 highlands to 1072 highlands. The subjective purpose of commander's deployment adjustment is to use the terrain characteristics of high mountains and dense forests to conceal the actions of troops in order to achieve unexpected results. What he never expected was that the Vietnamese army made an accurate prediction of the possible infiltration route of our army and carefully planned the firepower for it, and the route he chose happened to be in the firepower plan of the Vietnamese army. 1 984 At 6: 00 am on April 28th, 10/Battalion trudged to the predetermined target in the high mountains and dense forests, and the heavy artillery of the Vietnamese army fell from the sky. Shells loaded with instant fuses will explode when they touch branches, and shrapnel will be scattered in the air in an umbrella shape, which has caused terrible air explosion effect and is a fatal threat to our exposed infantry without fortifications. The battalion command post, the fire brigade and the 2nd Company as the reserve are in the middle and rear of the whole battle formation, just within the fire attack range of the Vietnamese army, and under the shadow of death, the troops suffered heavy casualties. Erlian Company passed through Highland 12 14, east of Highland 78 and northeast of Highland 5/kloc-0, with losses of nearly half and more than 50 casualties. Under the fierce fire of the enemy, the company commander Wang (later sacrificed) and the instructor Gao Shaolin were successively injured by gunfire, leading the deputy company commander Cong Ming to sacrifice, and the whole company lost control. As an assistant instructor, Wang Bin's task is to lead the cookhouse squad to carry out battlefield service such as battlefield rescue and ammunition supply. Knowing that the deputy company commander had died, he volunteered to Liu Nianguang, the battalion commander, to take back the clever body. Wang Bin, company commander Han, and correspondent Shao Wenzhong went deep into the enemy's situation. They met a detachment of the Vietnamese army in the 48th Highland. The Vietnamese army fired first, and the quartermaster and correspondent were shot dead. Wang Bin's left leg was also injured. Just as he threw the last Grenade and tried to remove the submachine gun from the reporter's back, several Vietnamese soldiers surrounded him and waved the butt of the gun, knocking him unconscious. Wang Bin woke up to find it was already dark. He was tied to a tree trunk and dragged down the mountain by several Vietnamese soldiers. He immediately realized that he had been captured! At this time, our artillery shells still fall from time to time. Wang Bin, trapped in the enemy lines, has been in the army for more than seven years, knowing that the army attaches importance to the unyielding integrity of soldiers who would rather die than surrender. He thought, if only our own shells killed me. The next afternoon, Wang Bin was transferred to a Vietnamese prison. The Vietnamese untied his leggings and put on handcuffs instead. In the evening, the guards sent half a box lunch, and the next meal was a dozen peanuts. He opened Wang Bin's handcuffs and turned and went out. Wang Bin couldn't accept the fact that he was captured. In desperation, he turned his attention to the leggings scattered on the ground and broke himself when no one was there now. So he tied the leggings to the fence in the back window and put his neck in. Unexpectedly, this move was discovered by the guards. Several people shouted and rushed into the room and dragged Wang Bin down, followed by punching and kicking. Soon, Wang Bin was sent to Hanoi. At the beginning of his detention, he went through many cruel trials, including electrocution, and then he was imprisoned for four years, during which he suffered a lot. He failed to commit suicide again. When he was about to go on a hunger strike, Vietnamese soldiers pressed his head for several days and pried open his mouth to fill rice soup. 1in the autumn of 986, the suffering king had the idea of escaping from prison. After nearly a year's efforts, he finally broke the wall and escaped from prison on July 1987. He had intended to go to the Embassy of China in Hanoi for help, but due to his poor health after a long imprisonment, he was arrested by Vietnamese soldiers on the way to escape and was beaten again ... 1990 19, the day when Wang Bin was repatriated to China. China and Vietnam held the repatriation ceremony of prisoners of war at Friendship Pass and Deng Tong Zero Kilometers. We released 17 Vietnamese prisoners, and Vietnam released five of our prisoners, namely Wang Bin, Bai Zhili, Wang Nianshun, Jiang Wenda and Miao Furong. After returning home, Wang Bin first stayed in Nanning for nearly a month. Later, it was taken back to Yunnan by * * * and returned to the 1 18 regiment. He lived in the regiment health team and was examined during treatment. After five years and eight months' imprisonment in Viet Nam, Wang Bin's physical condition was very bad due to poor living conditions and various tortures, and his weight was only 37kg. At the same time, he suffers from various diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, gastroptosis, gastrorrhagia, hematochezia, migraine, severe insomnia ... The most impressive thing for Wang Bin during his stay in the Youth League Health Corps was the visit of Deputy Commander Chen Zhijian, the son of General Chen Geng. Deputy teacher Chen encouraged him to say that if we believed those rumors that you defected to the enemy, we would never come to see you. Now that you're here, it means that your question has been answered. I hope you can let go of your burden. After more than a year's review, the organization made a formal conclusion on Wang Bin's problem: Wang Bin did not defect to the enemy and commit treason during his capture, and resumed his military status, party membership and cadre duties. This conclusion fully shows that the style of the superior organization is realistic and its attitude is serious and prudent. Considering his length of military service and previous position, he was awarded the rank of captain. 1at the beginning of 993, Wang Bin left the army and returned to his hometown to work in Zoucheng electric power system. In any country, any army, prisoners of war is a sensitive topic, and it is an unavoidable topic. Because as long as there is war, it is inevitable that someone will be captured. But we must make it clear that capture and surrender cannot be equated directly. It is not a shame to be captured because of objective reasons such as being seriously injured, extremely hungry, unarmed and running out of ammunition. Should not be harsh! For those cowards who are afraid of death, take the initiative to hand in their guns and kneel down, it is difficult to tolerate national laws and military laws!
