What intrigue is the US military, which has always bombed indiscriminately, up to this time?
This incident immediately aroused the vigilance of Li Xiang, the deputy commander of the 67th Army and the division commander of 199, so he went to check it himself, and there was nothing unusual in the result. But what he never expected was that this incident brought him a countdown to death.
After returning home, Li Xiang had a boil on his face and began to have a high fever. At first, he didn't care. He broke a boil and thought it was just a common cold. As a result, within three days, Xiang Li began to be delirious and unconscious, which led to acute septicemia and meningitis, and finally died of sudden illness due to ineffective treatment.
It is only seven days from onset to death.
Peng, and Premier Zhou were all shocked when they learned about this. Li Xiang has always been in good health and is only in his thirties now. How could he suddenly get sick? So he immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
What the hell is going on here? What is the secret behind Li Xiang's death?
In this issue, we will talk about Li Xiang, the only commander who died on the Korean battlefield.
Li Xiang, formerly known as Li Xiuli, was born in a poor peasant family in Yongxin, Jiangxi in 19 14. At that time, it was the time when landlords and gentry were seriously exploited. As a result, Li wanted to be squeezed into a shabby house from a small family, leaving only eight fields to make a living.
However, it never rains alone. At the age of eight, Li Xiang's father, the pillar of his family, died of overwork, leaving them orphans and widows and a pile of debts.
In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Li wanted to be an apprentice to a blacksmith at the age of 9, and in his spare time he went to the landlord's house to herd cattle and raise pigs. Life is very difficult. But even so, Li Xiang still pulls bellows to lead cattle and sheep during the day and reads and writes by light at night. In less than two years, he has completed all the primary school courses.
Later, when Li Xiang 14 years old, the blacksmith boss saw that he was smart, hardworking and handsome, and wanted to marry his 19-year-old daughter. Although Li Xiang is poor, he is not short-sighted. He refuses to accept heaven and his son-in-law. In order to escape this marriage, he resolutely chose to run away from home.
At that time, if the Red Revolution was in full swing in the countryside, all kinds of deeds of the Red Army were circulated everywhere: the Red Army was a good man, and it did not oppress the people, nor did it take the people as a needle.
Under the revolutionary influence of Jinggangshan spirit, Li Xiang went to Jinggangshan to join the army. He was only 14 years old at that time. Because he was too young, he was placed in the Young Pioneers, and he was responsible for standing guard, patrolling and keeping watch on weekdays.
Two years later, 16-year-old Li Xiang finally joined the Red Army as he wished, and began his 22-year military career.
In the army, this 16-year-old boy is studious, not afraid of hardship, and is handy in doing things, which quickly attracted the attention of Commander-in-Chief Zhu De.
When Zhu De was inspecting the work in the army, he met this childish young man again and asked, "What's your name?"
"Li Xiuli."
Mr Zhu smiled and said, "The name Li Xiu is too subtle. It is inappropriate for a strong young man like you to call this name. It is better to use the name of Xiangjiang River. Xiangjiang River keeps flowing to keep you safe. "
In this way, Li Xiuli officially changed its name to "Li Xiang".
Later, Li wanted to grow up to be a soldier, practice shooting and bayonet fighting in actual combat, and occasionally catch up on military theoretical knowledge in his spare time. In this way, in the hail of bullets, he became a platoon leader and company commander step by step, and gradually became a general who could be independent.
On the way to the Long March, he was seriously injured twice. At that time, the authorities decided to let him stay where he was for a while. But Li Xiang knew that if he fell behind at this time, his road to the Red Army might end. So he just kept up with the team with his iron will when his body was not fully recovered.
On the way to March, even though the old wound had not healed, Li Xiang insisted on not riding animals or sitting on a stretcher, and followed the big troops to climb one snow mountain after another and walked through one meadow after another.
On March 2,1,1935, when the Red Army was crossing the Chishui River four times, Li Xiang, who was in front of the charge, was injured again, and his hands were unfortunately shot and he lost too much blood. If the rear rescuers hadn't arrived in time, his hand might have been crippled.
At this time, the comrades around him advised Li to stay in a local farmer's home for treatment, but Li wanted to stay. In his words, my leg is not injured, so I can walk without a stretcher. This little injury will be fine.
So, Li Xiang, with his hands wrapped in gauze, continued to show his talents on the battlefield, serving as a company instructor, skillfully crossing the Jinsha River, grabbing the Dadu River, crossing the Jin Jia Mountain and walking through the water fields ... Even in the later Xing Ping Campaign and Hundred Regiments War, he was present.
Finally, because of his bravery in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he became a battalion commander at a young age.
1942 65438+ 10, Li Xiang was appointed as the head of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and led his troops to fight bravely in Tangxian area, destroying a squadron of the other side with a few times the strength. In September this year, Li Xiang was appointed to carry grain for the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. He successfully transferred military organs under the cover of the enemy's eyes many times and was praised by Nie.
In the War of Liberation, Li Xiang made great achievements again, became the commander of the 64th Division of 19 1 Corps, and led his troops across North China, successively participating in the battles of Shijiazhuang, Qingfengdian, Zheng Tai and Ping Jin.
It can be said that Li Xiang is a young general who risked his life and grew up in actual combat. He has a bright future.
Not long after the founding of New China, the artillery fire on the Korean battlefield began again.
In order to defend our country and enhance its prestige, great men made a great decision to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Li Xiang, 37, was ordered to fight in North Korea. He served as the deputy commander of the 67th Army and the division commander of 199, and was also the youngest division commander in the volunteer army.
After receiving this urgent instruction, Li Xiang packed her luggage in a hurry and said goodbye to her family in only three hours.
At this time, Li Xiang's little daughter was just born.
Before leaving, he went to the hospital and said to his wife An Shujing, who had not left the hospital, "We have a son and now we have a daughter. This small family is complete. Now I'm going to defend the motherland and thousands of families in Qian Qian to make them complete. You must take care of yourself, take care of the children, and wait for me to come back! "
Say that finish, Li Xiang took the luggage and embarked on a journey to North Korea.
However, Xiang Li never imagined that this was the first time he saw his newborn daughter, but it was also the last time. ...
195 1 in March, Li Xiangxian went to the front with several staff officers of the 67th Army in advance, on the one hand, in order to inspect the terrain of the combat area in advance and adjust the next combat strategy according to the actual situation; On the other hand, I also want to get in touch with my brothers and sum up their combat experience.
Three months later, the 67 th and 68 th armies of the 20 th Corps in the rear entered the DPRK as the third batch of troops, stationed in the south of Jincheng, North Korea, and shouldered the frontal defense task near the 38 th parallel.
Soon, the 67th Army of South Chinese people's Volunteer Army ushered in its first battle after entering the DPRK.
On this day, the enemy * * * dispatched more than 4,000 troops and used planes, artillery and tanks to bombard the 67th Division.
Fortunately, Xiang Li was very familiar with the local terrain, so he used the terrain to disperse his troops and circuitous the enemy, which eventually invalidated the enemy's repeated attacks and had to ask for leave.
The success of the 67th Army in the first battle greatly boosted the morale of the volunteers. But Xiang Li also deeply understands that this time, we just took advantage of the terrain, and we must not treat the strength of the allied forces lightly.
So, Li Xiang quickly summed up the experience of this engagement and found the "Ming Men" of the Allies.
First of all, the enemy's greatest advantage is firepower. In this regard, strong tunnel fortifications must be established to make the enemy's firepower invisible;
Secondly, Li Xiang also noticed that the allied forces, especially the U.S. military, are typical teams that fight by shells. Most of them rely on weapons, and the soldiers themselves have low combat effectiveness. So as long as they fight melee, fight midnight oil and launch infantry attacks, it is a good opportunity for us to fight back.
Therefore, Li Xiang, who wanted to have a good countermeasure, quickly adjusted his operational strategy to cope with the next raid by the Allied forces.
Sure enough, in September of 1 2000, the allied forces dispatched eight battalions again, and launched a fierce attack on the 67th Army with the support of 75 tanks, 100 guns and dozens of planes.
During this engagement, the volunteers of the 67 th Army retreated during the day and turned to counterattack at night, fighting with the enemy one by one and fighting for bayonets. Finally, more than 40 people were killed and the115 tank was destroyed.
Repeated attacks have made no progress. How can the ambitious Coalition forces stop there? 10 10 13, the allied forces strengthened their forces again and swept in. With the support of four divisions, 14 artillery battalion, more than 200 tanks and the air force, they launched an all-out attack on the 67th Army again.
At this point, we have built a solid tunnel according to Commander Li Xiang's instructions, and our soldiers can hide in the tunnel safely despite being bombarded by the US military.
In this defense, in the face of well-equipped US military machinery, the 67th Army led by Li Xiang wiped out more than17,000 people on the Korean battlefield in just three days.
After the news of the front-line victory reached China, the front page of People's Daily reported for several days that "our army annihilated more than 17,000 enemy troops in three days".
After these battles, the US military fully realized the power of the 67th Army. They knew that the other side had mastered their own weakness, and no matter how fierce the artillery fire was, I'm afraid it wouldn't help, so the ruthless American army thought of playing dirty tricks-using germ warfare.
1 952 July1day, Xiang Li, who was planning the next battle plan for the battalion commander, suddenly heard the roar of the plane from outside.
Then, several American planes dropped more than a dozen bombs in front of the 67th military camp. Strangely, the bomb did not explode after landing, but was an empty shell. This move by the US military is really abnormal. Li wants to be vigilant immediately and rush to the bomb drop site to check.
Xiang Li carefully examined the dozens of shells several times, but found nothing unusual. So what is the US military doing? The matter was modest, and Li Xiang, who returned to the camp, reported the matter to the headquarters.
Strangely, just go back and sit down before long, Li Xiang's face grew a small boil. Li Shuiqing, his subordinate, also reminded him that this small boil on his face must be crushed, otherwise it will grow bigger and bigger.
But what everyone didn't expect was that this was a small boil that killed him.
The next day, Li Xiang's face was swollen out of sight and she had a high fever. At first I thought it was a cold, so Li Xiang asked the hospital to prescribe some medicine. However, after taking the medicine, the symptoms have not been alleviated, but have become more and more serious, and even the head is swollen to almost no human shape.
Before he could be transferred to a hospital in North Korea, Li Xiang began to be unconscious and was diagnosed with sepsis complicated with meningitis. Finally, on the afternoon of July 8th, Li Xiang, who had been in a coma, stopped breathing at the age of 38.
It took him only seven days from onset to death.
It happened so suddenly that no one could believe that this war hero, who survived the bullets, died in a short time because of a boil.
After this news was reported to Peng, commander-in-chief of the Volunteers, it was also very shocking.
Li Xiang is young and strong, and has always been in good health. How is meningitis caused by boils? Something was wrong, and Mr. Peng immediately ordered a thorough investigation. Unexpectedly, this investigation found out the inhuman germ warfare of the US military. ...
A few days later, volunteers from other military regions reported that they had seen such shells as early as June 5438+this year 10.
At that time, several American planes flew to Yizhou in northern Korea, stayed in the air for a while, and then dropped several bombs on the ground. The volunteers stationed here saw it and hid. But to their surprise, these bombs didn't explode after a long time. Everyone thought there was no danger and went to check it out.
After a while, they found that there were a lot of flies, fleas and other insects on the ground where the shells were dropped. It was a cold winter. Why do a large number of insects appear for no reason? It is extremely rare to gather together in such a dark way. This phenomenon only appears on the ground near empty shells.
Therefore, it can be preliminarily concluded that the appearance of these bugs must be related to these shells dropped by the US military just now.
At the same time, with the emergence of these bugs, some strange incidents have occurred in the military region.
In the following period of time, the soldiers in the military region constantly developed symptoms such as fever, vomiting, paralysis and coma. Diseases such as plague, meningitis, smallpox and cholera, which have been extinct in North Korea for many days, have also begun to break out.
According to statistics, in March of 1952 alone, the number of deaths caused by these insects among our volunteers was as high as 36.
After temporary isolation, the blood of these infected soldiers was immediately sent to the North Korean Infectious Diseases Research Center for testing. The test results show that these soldiers suffer from cholera and smallpox-level infectious diseases.
Lieutenant Colonel Li Xiang may have been accidentally infected with this bacterial gas while looking at the empty shell bomb.
After learning the news, Mr. Peng was shocked. The germ warfare has been shrouded in dust for several years. This is a despicable means that even Nazi Germany disdains to use. Now the US military's move is simply immoral and inhuman.
Immediately, Mr. Peng truthfully reported the matter to the Central Committee.
After receiving the telegram, Premier Zhou was deeply saddened by the sudden death of Li Xiang. At present, it is in a critical period of combat. In order to avoid unnecessary panic in the military region, Premier Zhou ordered Peng to increase protection and disinfection measures inside the military region to avoid further spread of bacterial infection.
After receiving the order, the Volunteer Military Region quickly formulated corresponding measures according to the instructions of Premier Zhou.
A large number of disinfectants have been dispatched inside the military region, and large-scale bacterial disinfection work is being carried out every day. At the same time, the domestic infectious disease control center was ordered to seize the time to develop vaccines.
Finally, with the joint efforts of both sides, the volunteers who went to the DPRK and the Korean people near the military region were vaccinated with the vaccine developed by China.
At this point, the US military's germ warfare conspiracy also went bankrupt.
In the end, China and North Korea announced the plot and evidence of the US military's germ warfare to the whole world, and the US military was attacked by public opinion all over the world.
Unfortunately, our infected 36 soldiers and Commander Xiang Li will never survive. They suffered so much that even New China was overthrown. They didn't even have time to take a look at the prosperity of this prosperous time in the future, but they died in the germ warfare of the US military. ...
Li Xiang's body was not transported back to Shijiazhuang from North Korea until 195265438+February19.
The 67th Army led by him had the best record in resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, annihilating more than 87,800 people. It is also the only heroic army in China that wiped out more than 80,000 people, and the commander Li Xiang contributed.
As the saying goes, "glorious martyrs are loyal to their ministers, but they will never die." Commander Li Xiang is dead, but he will live in the hearts of future generations forever!
