One day in 1996, several public security leaders suddenly came to the home of an elderly man in Shandong, and as soon as they came, they said to the old man: "We have received a report from the masses that you have a gun hidden in your home, and now you have come to collect it according to law." ”
When the old man heard that he had come to collect the family's gun, he asked his children to bring the group into the house, and he carefully took out two guns that he had treasured for many years and handed the gun together with two other things.
These public security leaders did not understand what the old man meant, so they directly took these things. After seeing what was in their hands, several people immediately saluted the old man and carefully returned the gun to the old man. When the public security leaders came, they also brought quite a few people, and these subordinates were stunned when they saw the leaders and looked respectful and respectful to the old man.
This year, the mainland has introduced the strictest gun management measures in history, and has confiscated many guns, so why did the public security leaders not only salute the old man after getting the old man's gun this time, but also respectfully return the gun?
Until now, the old man is 96 years old, and these two guns have been in the hands of the old man for seventy-four years, so why can he continue to hold guns for so many years after the introduction of gun management measures?
The old man's name was Teng Xiyuan, and he was born in 1925 in a poor family in Jinan, Shandong Province. In that turbulent era, his parents died early, and Teng Xiyuan followed his two brothers to make a living. Later, because of the Japanese Kou, the family had to flee with their family.
On the way to escape, Teng Xiyuan's two older brothers threw themselves into the revolution one after another, leaving Teng Xiyuan alone to make a living. In the turbulent situation at that time, the two brothers could not contact Teng Xiyuan at all.
Along the way, he saw more about the crimes committed by the Japanese army in China, and in 1938, like his brother, he joined the Eighth Route Army and joined the revolution. When he joined the army at that time, the leader saw that Teng Xiyuan was still young, dark and thin, so he did not want him to join the army, but he could not stand Teng Xiyuan's persistence, or left him behind.
Teng Xiyuan became a soldier in the Laidong County Brigade. Who knows, he actually saw his eldest brother here, and the eldest brother was already the director of the Laidong County Brigade. Since then, Teng Xiyuan has followed his brother in the revolution. At that time, Teng Xiyuan was dark and thin, and he was also young, so everyone called him Teng Hezi.
In 1940, Teng Xiyuan followed the troops on a mission, no one thought that at that time, it was a Traitor who led them, because of the han traitor, many fighters around Teng Xiyuan were captured by the enemy, and the situation in Teng Xiyuan was not optimistic, at this critical moment, Teng Xiyuan appeared particularly calm.
With his familiarity with the terrain, he ran over the wall before the enemy could rush into the house. On the way back, he met two unaccompeted fighters, who had completely blocked the way out of the village, and the three had to hide in the village for a while, waiting for reinforcements.
In the process of waiting, Teng Xiyuan found a single Japanese soldier, he quietly took out his dagger, jumped on the head of the Japanese army with a lightning speed, and the other two fighters came out of the flanks one after another, holding down the hands and feet of the Japanese army, Teng Xiyuan directly held the dagger and stabbed at the Japanese army, killing him with one blow.
They used this method to kill several ghosts, until the large army arrived, and Teng Xiyuan and the three were rescued. After this time, Teng Xiyuan was famous in the team, and everyone looked at him with admiration.
In the summer of the same year, the Japanese puppet army once again concentrated its main forces to carry out a large-scale attack on the anti-Japanese base area in Luzhong and fought to the death with the soldiers of our army. Teng Xiyuan's county brigade also participated in the mission.
At that time, the enemy's equipment and numbers were far superior to ours, but the soldiers of our army were not afraid and fought fiercely with the enemy. At that time, the battle had entered a white-hot situation, and the war was unusually sticky.
Teng Xiyuan spotted the enemy's flag bearer at a glance, and he remembered that his brother had said that the thief would capture the king first and kill him with one shot. The Japanese army was momentarily panicked, but they were trained troops, and they quickly adjusted and pounced on the location of Teng Xiyuan, who had few bullets left, and had to fight with the Japanese army.
In the fight, the Japanese bayonet stabbed Teng Xiyuan's creaky nest, and blood gushed out in an instant, but the Japanese army could not imagine that Teng Xiyuan actually gritted his teeth and pulled out the bayonet and stabbed him with his backhand. Teng Xiyuan took this bayonet and hacked several Japanese soldiers to death in a row. After the battle, the warriors found the unconscious Teng Xiyuan, who was in a very dangerous condition at the time, but thanks to the rescue of the doctor, the danger was turned into a disaster.
After an encounter, Teng Xiyuan single-handedly killed 6 Japanese soldiers and was recorded as a first-class meritorious officer, when he was only 15 years old. Liao Rongbiao, who was then the commander of the fourth detachment of the Shandong Column, also met him specifically and gave him a Mauser pistol as a reward. Teng Xiyuan has been carrying the gun with him ever since.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Teng Xiyuan used this gun to kill many Japanese officers. That was the origin of his first gun.
When Japan announced its surrender in 1945, everyone thought that they could finally live a peaceful life, and who knew that Chiang Kai-shek had launched a civil war. Teng Xiyuan went to the battlefield again, and at that time, Teng Xiyuan actually did not want to see this civil war, after all, this was really his own people beating his own people, but he also understood that if this battle did not end one day, the people would not have a good day.
In 1947, after the failure of both the all-out offensive and the key offensive of the Kuomintang army, the two sides entered a period of stalemate. In July of the same year, in order to contain the enemy, Su Yu used four columns of the East China Field Army to surround and annihilate the Nationalist reorganized 11th Division, and Teng Xiyuan had become the commander of the artillery company in the army and also participated in the battle.
One day, when Teng Xiyuan was inspecting a hillside, he suddenly found that a group of Kuomintang soldiers were coming towards them, they were well-equipped, numbering as many as 200 people, and the main force of our army wanted to come over for more than half an hour, and it was simply too late.
Teng Xiyuan told himself not to panic, he suddenly thought of the empty city plan that Zhuge Liang had used in those years, and decided to sing it too. He immediately threw a grenade at the bottom of the mountain, quickly fired a few shots into the air, and shouted at the Kuomintang troops: "You have been surrounded, lay down your weapons, our army gives preferential treatment to prisoners!" ”
This was done on the one hand to make the enemy think that it had been encircled, and on the other hand to convey a message to the main force of our army. At that time, the enemy army was really startled by Teng Xiyuan and did not dare to move, and after waiting for a while, they found that there was no movement, and only then did they know that Teng Xiyuan had set up an empty city plan and shot in the direction of Teng Xiyuan.
Fortunately, the main force of our army heard the sound of gunfire and immediately gathered troops to quickly come and wipe out all the more than 200 national troops. Later, Teng Xiyuan was once again awarded a first-class merit, when he was only 22 years old. Su Yu praised him as a lone hero in front of the whole army, and rewarded Teng Xiyuan with his gun, which was the origin of his second gun.
Later, Teng Xiyuan continued to fight with the troops, participated in hundreds of battles of all sizes, and ushered in the founding of New China. At that time, Teng Xiyuan thought that he could finally live a peaceful and stable life, who knew that in 1950, the United Nations army led by the United States launched the Korean War and air raided the Dandong region of the mainland.
At this critical moment, the Chinese Volunteer Army rushed to Korea. Teng Xiyuan came to Korea in December 1950 with the troops, when North Korea was in the midst of an extremely cold weather that was rare in fifty years, the night temperature could be as low as minus forty degrees, our soldiers were still wearing thin winter clothes, plus the US army bombed our army's supply line, the soldiers could not get better supplies, but even if the conditions were so difficult, our soldiers never flinched and fought the enemy to the end.
Later in the battle, when Teng Xiyuan followed the troops in the interspersed operation, he was blocked by a Us tank. At that time, Teng Xiyuan's troops did not carry heavy weapons when marching, only some explosive packs. The fuselage of the tank is so strong that it cannot be destroyed by throwing explosive packets from afar. At that time, Teng Xiyuan took the initiative to ask Miao to carry an explosive package to prepare to blow up the tank at close range.
Taking advantage of the cover of night and terrain, he quietly touched the vicinity of the tank, at this time, he found that there was a turret on the tank, he could see his situation, he knew that he might not be able to go back this time, but he was not afraid, but directly rushed out, hung the explosive package on the tank, and quickly ran away.
Perhaps the enemy army did not expect teng Xiyuan to rush out at all, and lost his mind for a while. With a bang, the tank exploded, and Teng Xiyuan only suffered some skin trauma due to the speed of running. He became a famous demolition hero in the whole army.
Later, the United States signed an armistice agreement, the volunteers returned to the motherland, and Teng Xiyuan was finally able to live the stable life he had always desired. He voluntarily demobilized and returned to the local area and worked diligently.
From joining the army at the age of 13 to being gloriously demobilized at the age of 28, Teng Xiyuan made countless military achievements. During his fifteen years of military service, he was awarded two first-class and three third-class merits.
After returning to his hometown, Teng Xiyuan successively worked in Laiwu's bus company, garden, water supply, municipal and other departments. The deeds of the old man were known to no one but his family, and he had never said anything about them. It wasn't until the public security officers came to the old man's home that everyone knew that the guns collected by the old man had come from a big way.
The paper and certificate handed to the public security leader by the old man at that time were that in 1982, a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army specially granted him a gun license, as well as a gun holding instruction. This is why after reading the paper and the certificate, the public security leaders did not confiscate the old man's gun, but respectfully returned the gun to the old man and saluted the old man.
In 2015, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the old man also specially provided the gun to the Laiwu Battle Memorial Hall for display. The two gun old men would carefully wipe and stroke each other in their leisure time, recalling their revolutionary careers.
Until this year, the old man has been 96 years old, and these two guns have been around the old man for 74 years, and perhaps they can maximize his value around the old man.
