As General Qin Jiwei said:
In this battle, many heroes emerged! For example, Huang Jiguang blocked the enemy's loopholes with his body and opened the way for the impact troops; Sun Zhanyuan who insisted on fighting when his leg was broken; There is also a new recruit, Hu Xiudao, who single-handedly beat off the enemy and charged more than 40 times when his comrades in the class were killed or injured.
According to records, in this campaign, there were more than 12000 combat heroes at all levels and above, and there were more than 200 hero regiments! In addition, in the 43-day battle, as many as 38 martyrs left their names, such as shooting grenades and destroying bunkers.
This tenacious spirit of giving up one's life and forgetting one's death has to be admired. So many people say that Americans really know China people from Shangganling.
The hero to be mentioned in this article also comes from the "heroic position in Shangganling". In the battle, he insisted on fighting, using heavy machine guns to destroy more than 400 enemies, destroying enemy machine guns 1 frame and shooting down enemy planes 1 frame. He won the first class and the third class successively.
However, the hero remained anonymous for 36 years after the war, and it was not until later that he was exposed because of the wrong address!
He is the "first-class hero" of the Volunteers-Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng, 1928 was born in a poor peasant family in Hechuan District, Chongqing! There are seven people in the family, but only two acres of land, two tenants' houses and a cow.
Because of his poor family, Jiang Cheng began to go out to make a living at an early age, but because of his lack of culture, he could only do some simple and rude words and even beg along the street.
But as the saying goes, "the children of poor families are the masters early", it is precisely because they suffered hardships when they were young that Jiang Cheng matured early.
1949 65438+2 1 year-old Jiang Cheng joined the People's Liberation Army and became a soldier of 1 Army 3 1 Division 921Battalion Machine Gun Company, determined to defend the country!
1On June 25th, 950, the Korean War broke out!
In order to safeguard China's territorial security and world peace, China decided to set up a "Chinese people's Volunteer Army" to rush to North Korea to fight side by side with the Korean People's Army.
195010/9. Chinese people's Volunteer Army, under the leadership of Marshal Peng, commander and political commissar, crossed the Yalu River and went to fight in the DPRK.
195 1 At the beginning of the year, Jiang Chengjun was incorporated into the Volunteer Army 12 Army and entered the DPRK from the mouth of Changdian River in early March. Before entering the DPRK, Jiang Cheng, then 23, was promoted to vice squad leader of the machine gun company by the fire line.
From April of 195 1 year to April of1year, Jiang Cheng's 12 army participated in more than 400 battles such as the fifth campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea and the defence of Jincheng, killing100,000 people, which severely damaged the Turkish brigade.
However, the World War I that really made Jiang Cheng "famous" was the "Battle of Shangganling" at 1952 and 10.
1 952165438+1October1day, Jiang Cheng's 12 army began to enter the battle of Shangganling.
Prior to this, General Qin Jiwei had led the 45th Division of the 15 Army for half a month. Due to the enemy's fierce ground-to-air fire, more than 5600 people have been gathered. If we don't increase our troops, the Shangganling position will soon be occupied by the enemy.
At this critical moment, General Wang Jinshan, then deputy commander of the 3rd Corps, urgently dispatched 12 Army to cooperate 15 Army to fight.
Let's make it clear here first. The 9 1 Regiment and the 93rd Regiment of the 3 1 Division of the Twelfth Army initially participated in the war, and the 92nd Regiment where Jiang Cheng was located officially went into battle on June 5438+065438+1October 8.
1October 8th, 165438+, the 92nd regiment arrived in Shangganling. Because of the emergency, Qin Jiwei only gave them three days to prepare, and planned to launch a counterattack at +0 1 on June 8. Changling Li, then deputy division commander of 12 Army 3 1 Division, told Qin Jiwei that the Army (92nd Regiment) had just passed the Long March, lacked ammunition and was unfamiliar with the terrain. Three days of preparation time is too short, and the counterattack may not be effective.
Qin Jiwei immediately said that the border guards have been without food and water for more than ten days, and the situation is extremely critical. In addition, if it is delayed, the position of the Korean army will be further strengthened and it will be more difficult to fight back.
That's true, because since1October 29th 133 began its counterattack, four companies of our regiment 133 have entered the 537.7 highland. After several rounds of fierce fighting, only 24 people retreated to Tunnel 7.
At that time, because the 15 army was concentrated in the 597.9 highland, it did not give support to the No.7 tunnel 1 1 day, which eventually led to the freezing and starvation of 17 people, and the remaining 7 people successfully broke through in the early morning of1.8.
Now that you mention it, how can Qin Jiwei not worry!
Changling Li saw this, have nothing to say, so we have to crustily skin of head to overcome all difficulties, in three days to step up the counterattack.
At that time, in order to win the counter-offensive, Changling Li decided to take a platoon of the 92nd regiment of the most elite Red Army and secretly lurk in the highlands to carry out a central assault the night before the counter-offensive. Then, the third battalion attacked the highlands on both sides in two ways, forming a centripetal attack.
Jiang cheng 1 battalion machine gun squad is responsible for frontal assault!
165438+1October 1 1, the battle officially started! The 92nd regiment began a fierce counterattack against the enemy. Suddenly, gunfire and shouts rang out from the Shangganling position.
In the face of our strong offensive, the enemy had to use their so-called "air superiority" to throw a large number of bombs at our positions.
Gunfire resounded through the battlefield in Shangganling, the air was filled with the smell of death, and the sky was gradually dyed blood red. ...
Looking at the remains of his comrades in the trenches, young Jiang Cheng was not afraid. He continued to hold the machine gun and fired wildly at the enemy. Suddenly, with a bang, a bomb exploded not far from Jiang Cheng. The high-speed rotating shrapnel immediately cut a long hole in his right abdomen and his intestines suddenly fell out.
At this time, Jiang Cheng, preoccupied with body count, simply forgot these! He rubbed his intestines in, simply bandaged them, and then continued to pick up the gun and shoot at the enemy.
For this reason, someone later asked him if it didn't hurt when his intestines fell out. How can we continue to fight? He replied, "Comrade Huang Jiguang once blocked the enemy's gun with his own body. What is my pain! "
As a comrade-in-arms of life and death, Jiang Cheng lay in the grass and witnessed the whole process of Huang Jiguang's heroic sacrifice! He was infected by Huang Jiguang's brave behavior and determined to be like him.
Finally, in the case of heavy body damage, Jiang Cheng also destroyed more than 400 people with heavy machine guns, destroyed the enemy's heavy machine guns and laid an enemy plane, effectively suppressing the enemy's bunker.
After the battle, Jiang Chengrong made a first-class merit. 1 953 65438+In February, Jiang Cheng was officially appointed as the monitor of the machine gun company of the 92nd Division1Battalion of the 3rd/2nd Army of the Volunteers.
1954, Jiang Cheng, who fought in the Korean battlefield for four years, returned to China with his troops. In the same year1February, Jiang made outstanding contributions to the genesis and won the third-class merit again.
1955 February 10, Jiang Cheng retired and returned to his hometown!
Like many volunteers veterans, Jiang Cheng never mentioned his honor to others after returning to his hometown. When someone asked him, he just smiled. So for a long time, neighbors didn't know his "true identity".
After returning to China, Jiang Cheng first worked as a militia in Longxing Township, and later went to Jiangjin and other areas to build railways. 1April, 964, Jiang Cheng returned to Longxing Township to engage in sericulture.
Because Jiang Cheng has excellent skills in this field, he often teaches sericulture techniques from door to door to sericulture farmers. At that time, there was no flashlight, and Jiang Cheng often walked around and stumbled in the dark. After a long time, his toenail cover was kicked over.
Jiang Cheng is a simple man and works hard. To this end, the children have repeatedly complained that their father "only has eyes for the collective and ignores us." Whenever the cocoon is recycled, Jiang Chengdu is not at home for more than a month.
Therefore, in the eyes of children, Jiang Cheng is an "incompetent" father.
Jiang Cheng never explained his family's complaints too much, but remained silent as always, because he knew very well that he really owed too much to this family.
Jiang Cheng goes out at 5 o'clock every morning and is busy until evening 10. In that era when there was no TV and mobile phone, people basically made their work at sunrise and rested at sunset, so every time Jiang Cheng came back, his family basically fell asleep.
But he is in no hurry to sleep. Instead, I lit a kerosene lamp and squatted on a stool. He recorded the questions about sericulture collected by the villagers that day, then sorted them out and told everyone by radio tomorrow.
On the battlefield, he is a terrible existence that scares the enemy. Now, he is a simple farmer and devoted himself to farming.
1983, Jiang cheng did another "great event" in life-building roads!
1In the winter of 983, the local government decided to build a highway from Longxing Township to Yongxing Township. No one took the lead at that time. As an old party member, Jiang Cheng immediately volunteered and stood up!
Roads were not built like this before. Leaders have to bear hardships, not only to contribute and develop technology, but also to get funds for road construction. When people saw the old party member stand up, they were all stunned.
As a result, the road was repaired halfway and the money was gone!
The road construction project that was in full swing immediately stopped. Without money, roads can't be repaired. At this time, someone had begun to waver and said to him, "Brother Jiang, let's go back to the important place ..."!
After listening, Jiang Cheng was silent. He smoked three cigarettes in one breath, and then firmly said to the villagers, "Go ahead and I'll find a way to pay!" "
Soon, Jiang Cheng got a sum of money, and the road construction project progressed smoothly and was finally completed!
However, at that time, the villagers, even Jiang Minghui, Jiang Cheng's son, didn't know where he got the money. It was not until eight years later, that is, 199 1, that Jiang Cheng suddenly called his son to his side and told him that the money for road construction was borrowed from the credit union in his own name.
When his son Jiang Minghui asked him how much money he had borrowed, he replied, "1000 yuan ... but with interest, it should be more than 2,400 yuan."
"More than 2,400 yuan?" Jiang Minghui suddenly asked in surprise! 2400 yuan is not much now, but at that time, it was a huge sum.
At that time, although Jiang Minghui had been working for more than three years, after three years of scrimping and saving, he saved more than 1000 yuan. But his father's debt is more than twice that of his own savings, which is reserved for marriage. Now ... what should I do?
Jiang Minghui was silent for a while, and then said that he would return the money to his father. Due to lack of savings, Jiang Minghui simply sold the house and lived in a dormitory. In addition, he borrowed a sum of money and finally paid off the loan.
"It's only natural for a father to pay off his debts," Jiang Minghui said in a later interview!
1988 One day in the midsummer, a report on meritorious service of revolutionary soldiers was delivered to Jiang Cheng!
However, for a long time before, because "there was no such person", this happy newspaper was sealed in the archives, and it was not until Wang Jueying, the former president of Hechuan Normal School, compiled "Hechuan County Records" that it was rediscovered.
After verification, I found that I couldn't find this person because the address was wrong!
Finally, after verification with a number of relevant units, Jiang Cheng, who had been "incognito" in Longxing Township for 36 years, was the "first-class hero" who made great contributions in the Korean battlefield that year.
The whole family was very surprised when Xi submitted it. Although all the children knew that their father had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, they didn't expect to be a "first-class hero".
Facing the stunned expression of his family, Jiang Cheng turned around and stuffed the good news into the depths of the drawer without much explanation.
From demobilization to now, for decades, Jiang Chengjia's economic conditions are not good. Although not a family, the walls have long been mottled, the table in the room has faded its original color, and even his cane with a pestle has worn out. ...
Despite financial difficulties, Jiang Cheng never extended a hand to the organization, as he himself said:
The old hero knows that he is only a survivor of this cruel war, and the kindness of the organization has given him many honors, but for him, these honors do not belong to him, but to the soldiers who sacrificed gloriously for the motherland.
On July 3rd, 20654381day, Chongqing Daily reported Jiang Cheng's heroic deeds with the title of "Legendary Veteran, Never Fading, First Class Hero in Shangganling Campaign, Jiang Cheng Interpreted the Clashing Oath with Blood and No Regret".
Jiang Cheng, a "first-class hero" in 20 19, was selected as "China Good People List" in September!
There are no quiet years, but someone is carrying the burden for us! Finally, let's pay high tribute to the old hero Jiang!
