Liu Shiping was young when he was young, and now his fingers were deformed and stretched.
young Liu Shiping (Remake) reporter Li Pengfei took
Liu Shiping, born in 1925, Zhangqiu. In 1943, he joined the army and fought guerrilla warfare in the mountainous areas of Zhangqiu and Laiwu. Later, he experienced the Huaihai Campaign and the cross river campaign. In 1949, he joined the navy of the East China Military Region (the predecessor of the East China Sea Fleet) and served in the Ji'nan warship. In 1955, it was demobilized to return to Zhangqiu for farming.
in September 3rd, the 70th anniversary military parade ceremony will be held in Tiananmen in Beijing. Two veterans were invited to participate in Ji'nan. Liu Shiping, 90, was one of them. This is the second time for him to go to Tiananmen. He said it was the highest honor to go to Tiananmen to take part in the parade.
[going to Beijing] for a few decades to dream
June 2015, an unexpected news broke Liu Shiping's quiet life: in September, the Tiananmen held a big parade, and the state invited some of the anti war veterans to take the name of Liu Shiping on the invitation list. "Happy! Very happy! Happy!" Liu Shiping used three "happy" to describe the mood at that time. Since then, preparing for Beijing has become a top priority for Liu.
Liu Shiping said that reviewing in Tiananmen is a high honor and a dream. At the founding of new China, the parade was held at Tiananmen, when he had no chance to see his troops in Zhejiang and Tiananmen. More than a dozen years ago, he went to a Beijing, the old comrades specially took him to Tiananmen, standing in the crowd far to see the flag, "I thought this life is no longer possible, I did not expect to have the opportunity to dream."
after receiving the notice of going to Beijing, Liu Shiping always walks several times back and forth at home every day. Family members put emphasis on nutrition. The 11 year old Liu Shiping is the main person in charge.
Liu Shiping is 90 years old this year. Although it has reached the age of mackerel back, it is not very old: it is not deaf, eyes are not flowers, legs are agile, especially the waist bar. Liu Shiping said that he was born of a farmer and had nothing to do with regimen. There was only one principle: not to suppress things. He has a lively personality, likes to talk with people, and is also educated in the army. "No matter how big the officer is, I see no signs." Perhaps the heart is bright, and it is not old. "
[guerrilla kill enemy] favorite weapon is grenade
from then on, he became a member of the Eight Route Army guerrillas, hiding in the mountains during the day, writing slogans in the village at night, and being in charge of exploring the enemy and ambushed the guerrillas. Liu Shiping's guerrilla team is not the main force, no military uniform, clothes are the broken clothes brought home, grain is the millet and the head of the common people, all the weapons are robbed from the hands of the devil.
"Little Devil's weapon is good, we also have homemade rifle, but steel is not good." The same is the first time to pull a bolt, I can not pull three times, and have to kick open, the devil even play more than 100 hair is also okay. Therefore, we do not fight hard, we only fight skillfully, we fight too much, we just fight. Liu Shiping said that when you hit a ghost, there were two most commonly used weapons, a shovel and a hand grenade, and a shovel could not hit a few at a time.
"we are usually ambush in high places, see the devil come in, first do not beat the snake, wait for them to walk half, throw the hand grenade in the middle, the ghost runs to two heads respectively, we can just take the gun. When they have stopped God, we are retreating. " Liu Shiping said that all the guns seized by the guerrillas were handed over to the main force in front of the front line, and only grenades could be left. After two years of guerrilla warfare, he threw countless grenades. Later, he left a sequela and his right hand fingers could not straighten out completely.
in 1945, on the day of Japan's surrender, Liu Shiping jumped into Yangko with his troops in Anhui, and he and his comrades in arms.
[army no regrets] won the battle to get the peace of
now, he speaks less about the war scene. He also did not want to say more about the merits of the war. He repeatedly said, "the party's team can win the battle because it loves the people and speaks for the laboring people. The masses support it and follow it, so we can always win the battle.
the reporter asked Liu Shiping, is it going to be said to the young people in the war? He hesitated. "Is the child now willing to listen?" the old man said that many people in the village went to the battlefield, but not much, but he did not like to fight, but he had to fight to the war, his children and grandchildren. Can we live in the years of peace.
