Wang Age: Memories husband Zhangling Fu (zz)
Wang Yu Ling in the 1960s in the United States
May 2007, Menglianggu whole campaign over the past 60 years. I went back to the place where he died.
The world with some light rain, some slippery mountain road. I have 79 years old, climbed the hill, was very difficult. Looking back 60 years ago, the situation, I thought he was lame like climbing a mountain, it is really hard for him.
Campaign 60 years ago, I did not witness, often encountered in television and film the scene, I always look.
I was told, Menglianggu previously known as Stone Mountain, above there is no water. Battle hit the final, he and his soldiers only to drink his own urine. Gun play red hot, can not beat me, he took up the ma niu splash, and then went on to play.
Hundreds of thousands around you, play field wheel, and you’re the only few people, Zuoshou empty mountains. Does not supply food, ammunition supplies scarce around friendly troops are only self-protection, not to rescue. This battle is really playing very desperate.
I know a lot of Communist Party leaders and generals, their evaluation of him is very high. Often heard, I feel justice is still in the hearts and minds. 60th anniversary of the war, I took my son along with him to attend the meeting. In his speech, President Hu Jintao, about the Kuomintang army in a positive role in the battlefield. Hear, my eyes a flood of tears.
Locals buried him in the hole at the top of a tombstone set up. I said to them, leave a space for me. They said you earlier blanket. I said in there waiting for it, too fast.
I never talked to him, tell him I love him. When we are together, now these boys and girls are also not so familiar with, ah, whether patriotic’s. He told me it is very common, very common. After he died, I have regrets, blame myself, how can this person you so mean ah, even so did not say a word.
Sixty years later, I have 79 years old. I have been nagging at me, is his most painful, most desperate, most helpless, I did not tell him.
During the war, Zhangling Fu Civil war, many races there, writing the next chapter in their most beautiful.
1925, 22-year-old Zhang Lingfu graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, set foot on the Northern Expedition journey. Three years later, repeated the Zhangling Fu Li was promoted to company commander exploits. It was in that year, famous families in Changsha, Hunan Royal, a very new baby girl, named Wang Ling.
1937, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, in order to avoid war, 9-year-old Wang Ling with his family to move out
Changsha, started displaced life. At this time, another place, with 51 teachers marched Zhangling Fu Shanghai, participated in the famous “813″ Battle of Shanghai. Zhang Lingfu with fierce determination, the command well and win the love of officers and men of the regiment
Dai. Jiading operations when faced with far superior weapons and equipment of Japanese troops rushed the KMT charge, get rid of upper body, killing the red-eye Zhangling Fu uniforms, carrying machine guns out of the trenches, take the lead and lead more than 100 death squad members welcome
Headache attack, not killing Japanese Diukuixiejia, Baotoushucuan.
In 1938, Zhang Lingfu instructed to Jiang Xi Dean Zhang stationed at the Japanese counterattack of ancient mountains. Is served, Zhang Lingfu personally led a commando light
Starting installation, hung wooden climbing trees, through the perilous mountains or deep valleys, forested bad water, with the positive forces have attacked, Zhang Fei won the ancient mountain. Then the Japanese unwilling to fail, send aircraft and artillery bombed, almost to the ground shift Zhang ancient mountains. Zhang
Ling Fu led the troops in a bloody fight to the death, and the Japanese fight lasting five days and nights, but lost positions, found again, repeatedly see-saw. Dean Victory, the Tian Han by the Military Committee of the KMT’s Department appointed the third Director of the Office Guo, mining
Visit Zhangling Fu and others, published in the “Central Daily”, and the preparation of drama, “De great victory,” Zhang Lingfu real name real name on the show, from reputed in the world.
March 1939, Zhang Lingfu led troops participated Battle of Nanchang. Zhang Lingfu forward command post in the command
Battle, unfortunately, the Japanese machine gun right leg sweep in the two bullets, seriously injured. Medical examination said: “The legs should be amputated!” Zhang Lingfu adjutant of the entourage, said: “If I were in a coma, you have to stop the doctors saw legs!” Finished, he gave
The adjutant a pistol, snapped: “Who saw my legs, you will be killed!” Result right leg has not healed. After dressing the wound he rushed into battle again.
Looking Zhangling Fu’s performance in the eight-year war from 1937 to 1945 participated in the Battle of Shanghai victory of the war, repeatedly exploits legislation, known as a “model soldier”, “the blow”, won the “Medal of Freedom.”
In 1945, the Sino-Japanese War victory, this year, Wang Ling returned home after an absence of long-standing. After the war had gone home to wash the original appearance, but also the completion of the original girl slim girl.
Anti-Japanese War, together Zhang Lingfu
1937, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, to escape the war, I moved home with his family in Changsha, the beginning of the displaced lives.
When his father got home two big trucks, removing all the seats inside. Compartment filled with backpacks, boxes and portable valuable possessions. Family had floundered, and for those of us who grew up in the house for the kids, where to understand the current situation, and he heard the noisy sound of panic. Girls together to play this game, laugh ah, chat ah.
After entering secondary school, in order to avoid war, not then classrooms. The temporary relocation of the school’s location near the mountains. First time, boys, girls are still fresh, I feel like the same outing. Morning
Washed her face, ate breakfast went to the mountains, big trees in the study. To the sun going down when I came back. On the way back they saw the Japanese bombed the place, devastated, desolate scene. Dismember, ripping off the human body
Stump, like hand-ah, legs ah, hang above the poles, and we screamed. There is also a grenade hit next to me. Fortunately, however, did not bloom, or we were all killed.
Mother told me that the Japanese bully the Chinese people, we have not played a good place to run, good back up. I have heard is angry and frightened, I asked his mother not to give an effort should be. His mother asked back, you do? What will not, go to the people not the trouble.
I do not understand the military aspect is a bit. So what was even Zhangling Fu is a famous general, I do not know, never heard of.
In 1945, victory of the war ended the family’s emotions are also improved.
Weekend, the family made an appointment a few girls to go out and hair cut. In the barber shop, we sat on a chair, then talking chirped.
That day he wore a military uniform, with cap. I happened to sit behind a chair. I found him through the barber’s mirror, staring at the mirror I look inside. My heart that this person is really annoying, how can so many people watching, and sent his head affixed to the inside mirror to see, so they stare at him.
Later he told me, he said thanks to you stare at me, otherwise, if you want to smile to me, I have not interested. I said, you smug.
Soon after, he asked his friend the Director asked us to family dinner. Table, I proceeded as, simply a bite to eat. His friend Zhang Commissioner speech and asked my aunt How old? My aunt said she was 32 years old. The Director to take over the case, said Zhang Lingfu deputy commander of a 32-year-old you are, ah, you two in the same year, and toast it.
Ling Fu that more than 42 years of practice. This is what would take off the old. Later he told me, his neck from the face to have been red in the end.
The Director went on to say, we do not get married ah, vice commander, Wang wife you in Changsha, Changsha old, you know a good lady to the deputy commander of our introduction. My aunt speaking, of course, there are good I’ll introduce you. Zhang
Director said that so many miss your family, you can also introduce Well. My aunt say, then great, all dated other a; the little ones, young and are too small. Director Zhang speaking, it would find that sort of a small thing in life, eyes toward me.
I sat there, of course, understand Well, not no small got left me. So I got angry, the face of a board.
I know nothing about him.
He always wore military uniform, like a military bar. Guess my heart.
Aunt told me, Zhang Jun, a famous long, but the anti-Japanese. The more people can say that the more I did not regard him as one thing, the more ignore him. And he, probably experienced a lot of things had it, probably think I am silly to screw around with him like a small temper.
After that, he more and more frequently to our house almost every day to. Just started, and I saw he did not speak out sometimes deliberately avoid him. Slowly, with his familiar. Handsome? I do not think, I felt that looking at also pleasing to the eye.
Sometimes he gave me a story. He told me that before the war, he read history at Peking University. Each generation of each towards cultural figures, unofficial legend, he was very familiar. He likes to say, I like to listen to.
When his own war stories war, but never talked.
They say he is a cripple. A battle, he had been wounded. Swept to his guns, bullets remain in his foot inside. Medicine was not very developed, so after gypsum, that can not be bent legs. However, walking from his appearance is also not tell, just go for a long time will be painful, very tired.
He has never not speak what he pleased, and never has told me that his most painful thing, maybe he thought I was just a bar, do not want to take these things to worry me. I just think he is very reliable, he sometimes felt like my father, sometimes like my good friend, so he is very reliable.
Soon, he told me to marry him. My mother was very opposed to this. On the one hand, I think his 24-year-old age gap has to be formidable; the other hand, half of my widowed mother, she does not like his daughter marry a soldier. She said that military life is not reliable, she did not want and I repeat her fate.
Married to a soldier on what kind of ideas? If one day how he took to the battlefield? No, then I think these are not a problem. I believe the Japanese surrender, the war is over.
Although the mother against this marriage, or set down. They decided to get married on the occasion, Zhang Lingfu received a promotion, the order of 74 he was promoted to Army Commander, to report immediately to Nanjing. Thus, the two will be the wedding location
Set in Shanghai. Because of time, Wang Yu Ling wearing a larger size shoes, wearing a borrowed suit Zhang Lingfu married. End of the wedding the night, two men got on the train to Nanjing, one upper berth, a bunk bed, degree
After their wedding night.
August 28, 1945, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Wang Ruofei arrived in Chongqing, the two sides began talks with Communist. October 10, representatives of the KMT and CPC Chongqing signed the “Agreement on Double Ten”, the two parties being able to ease the conflict. In Nanjing, Wang Ling Zhang Lingfu with his new wife spent a calm and happy times.
Short and happy time
His chest has a long scar on his head, too.
A battle, a bullet from the side and whipped his head fly, shed a bullet marks. He said that from the death of his latest.
Soon after marriage, he was promoted 74 military commander, to report immediately to Nanjing. He and I spent a period of calm in Nanjing, a good time.
He taught me to ride. At that time I just started to learn, not the General Assembly to ride. He steered the horse ran in front of my horse somehow also followed him to run, how the reins are pulled not stop. I’m scared to death call, shouting: Not so fast. He just immediately Hui Touchong me laugh.
I’ve never felt the age gap. He has never not speak, then what is disgusting. But he will say: I discussed a good wife, wealth important than anything, I want to beg for food, then my wife can get me a bowl. He sometimes saying things, it would make me very touched.
Once I fall apart so much noise with his very serious, I said I was going to divorce him. This frightened him, he said if I really left him, he would rather die an old ravine. He apologized to me, finally going on the I
Stand at attention before, stood respectfully, to me salute, respect salute. To see him so angry, I was good and funny that I’m not your boss, respecting any ceremony with me, ah, still ignore him. He said you do not forgive me, my hand on the tightly
Down.
Close to him told me that the status of Zhang Jun long now prominent in Nanjing, who is red hot. Because the presence of 74 troops in Nanjing on the outskirts of Nanjing, the role of acting as a guard, as the military commander of Zhang Lingfu 74, the status of an unusual nature.
After the war, when the Communists began peace talks. Nanjing communicative activities more and more, he does not like socializing, the requests that ask him quite annoying. The most happy thing for him or for him to lead troops, as if liberated him.
Age of 19-year-old Wang has not thought that this would be her last meeting with her husband. Yu-Ling gave birth to a baby boy, she called her husband in front of this news briefing. Put down the phone, Wang Yu Ling pictures of her son sent her husband. She never thought that her husband had no chance to see this life of his son.
Last meeting
August 1946, Zhang Lingfu received the order, rate of force out of East Nanjing into the battlefield.
Go before I pack for him. He heard people talking about those brave in battle experience, I believe he will not die. Even feel like out of the way of travel, but also told him that eating meals
Bad times, remember to use vitamin supplements. Sent his luggage in the clothes out a list, wrote a note to him. A very common heart, he did not think I bit nervous, do not feel bad.
Mid to late 10, he and Su Yu’s field army command team play against.
, He often wrote to me, he does not say how he missed me, and said raising the fish to die at home, also took water, and there will be back, the other said nothing. Back I drew a pattern, design our home gardens. What in the chart in painting flowers to be planted where, when and what kind of flowers, he wrote to me.
In front of me, he never will be war as a great, very great things, so I did not that he seems to fear, nor feeling.
The spring of 1947, I went to the front to see him. At that time I was pregnant 9 months pregnant. I suddenly long for pregnancy 40 pounds, walking is also very difficult. Oh how I got that and look so fat. He said grief
Will be thin, like me, like coax children to sleep in bed, close their eyes to look troubled. You say silly not stupid, 19-year-old did not know what is sadness. Eyes closed to find sorrow, sorrow is not found, the result I fell asleep.
I do not know at this moment, sadness coming soon. Come too much, too fast.
Suddenly sent home two guards at the gate guard, all the newspapers have stopped no longer deliver.
Ten days ago, our son was born. He called to, talk to me. He was pleased to hear out. In Tingtongli happy laugh, and asked my son does not sound loud voice, saying my mind good will in the future many sons and grandsons. And I hastened to send him pictures of his son.
Since then, he had not made a telephone call back. I’m at home recuperating from childbirth, people come to see me, to follow up with the guards also. I vaguely strange.
Around the wife told me once, when he fought with the Japanese is a little message for two months, normal, all right.
I heard if you say so, I felt that should not matter.
One day a few months later, his men suddenly came home Yang staff, entered the room suddenly fell to his knees in front of me.
I suddenly went numb.
Young staff told me crying, Menglianggu battle is fierce. Zhang Jun, a lifetime long fought battle, know that does not survive, and friendly forces do not come. Finally there is no other way to escape death, playing a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, said he would battle to the last, to report to the State, please please take care of their families Chiang Kai-shek.
Cairen Jie, deputy commander knelt before him and begged him to take some people washed down, breakout is possible. And said: to Nanjing after the Chiang Kai-shek before you report the circumstances of this tragic war, and friendly indifference. Persist even if Chiang Kai-shek to blame, you just committed suicide in front of him.
Ling Fu said, back to Nanjing, see my wife, I would not want to die of.
He put a letter to the chief of staff, said his wife must be to hand, and said his wife wanted to do regardless of what the future, you are not against her will, she must be down.
“I and Ren-Jie decisive battle to the last drink must pay the price of one missile, reported to the State and leaders, subordinates and people under the answer. Naturally, I am coming to Beijing, no severe pain, hope and good paternity of, raising hope the youngest son. Yuling Azuma, today part forever carry on. Ling Fu swan song. May 16, Menglianggu. ”
For a long time I do not believe it.
Every day, I’ve been to where we were, flew a ride.
Prior to this I do not know why things troubled people, what day it had fallen. Almost to become crazy, and even speech can not speak.
Later, Kai-shek to come to meet us widows. To the Office of the President, we sat outside, so ah waited a long time. A secretary ran out of speaking, his wife not feeling very well today, so ladies you please return it, so.
At that moment the feeling of a kind of cool feeling, and I’m angry, I feel like how can such people, people like you all to this life are given away, and you’re so not to put others feelings seriously.
But after a while, I do not mind, actually nothing.
I never blamed him, some people say, do not miss him, he even you have ignored, and went to die, what a, I think it is not like. A person a person’s duties, he will eat this bowl of rice, he will do him this one thing.
In 1973, I received a friend took to convey the message that Zhou Enlai would like me to go to Beijing to see.
A series of setbacks, I met Zhou Enlai. Premier Zhou said: He is a very good will be material, I was his teacher, did not fight for him, and the error in my. Before the Prime Minister, I wept.
In 2005, My son and I came to Shanghai, quite unexpectedly received that year Chinese general Su Yu, the son of Field Commander, Su Gang Bing’s invitation.
He said he would ask me to dinner, wanted to see me, afraid I will not only conveyed through other euphemism.
I said, What of it, who told my husband it is a professional soldier. The history of things, I do not mind, there is no way to care about. Who you say you hate, right, this problem too it. War is cruel.
April 2007, I went to Menglianggu. My husband die in the cave, put a bunch of garlands.
I have been nagging at me, that is, when he was the most painful in the least by the time I did with him, so to see the cave, I was feeling a lot of heart.
I never said before, tell him I love him, he died, I have not even regret. I felt how could this man I so mean ah, even a simple thing could not speak, never speak.
