What's on Jasmine's mind- My leader, my regiment follow-up

(One)

We left Zenda in mid-November 1950. At that time, we did not know that the battle that was later called "the first battle" in the history of the war was over.The first battle in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea started on October 11, 1950 and ended on November 10, lasting about ten days in between.Later, October 25 every year was designated by the Chinese government as the "Remembrance Day of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea".

Everyone was very anxious. Although the distance between Zenda and North Korea was vast, we traveled day and night all the way. When we arrived at the Korean battlefield, it was the middle and late November.At this time, the prelude to what was later called the "Second Battle" in war history was just beginning.

We have seen that when the Chinese army blocked the U.S. military, the U.S. military used tanks and heavy artillery to launch a violent bombardment.The U.S. planes poured gasoline like a torrential rain, and then fired bombs. The blocking position of the Chinese army suddenly became a sea of ​​​​flames.The blocking was extremely difficult. Dozens of U.S. fighter jets buzzed like flies in the sky and strafed. Since the Chinese army did not have anti-aircraft weapons and firepower, those planes flew very low recklessly. Young Chinese soldiers even You can see the faces of American pilots, but you can't use the light weapons in your hands to fight the planes, you can only hide in the trenches.On the ground, there are waves of tanks, cooperating with the impact of infantry.The "Sherman" that can knock Yu Zhi's tank into the air is now only a light tank, and there are many medium and heavy tanks, which makes Yu Zhi, the former tank company commander, dumbfounded and surprised.

But before we had time to be surprised, the American soldiers under the cover of the tanks had advanced to only 20 meters away from the blocking position. The Chinese soldiers in the fire actually stood up again, and they started the brutal hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.

We have seen Chinese soldiers use grenades and even guns against tanks, we have almost no anti-tank weapons, and our artillery has only mortars, and the number is very small.A brave soldier, holding a blasting tube in his hand, rushed towards a tank, and when the tank drove in front of him, he rang the blasting tube in his hand...

The tragedy of the battlefield made our hearts ache, but we also felt the wisdom of the Chinese everywhere on the battlefield.

The U.S. military did not understand why Chinese soldiers could not be burned to death.In fact, the method used by Chinese soldiers is very simple, that is, to dig fire ditches on the blocking positions.Chinese soldiers who were farmers were no strangers to the work of digging ditches. They dug ditches without stopping while bullets were flying, separating the raging fire from the fortifications where they were hiding.

The U.S. military, which is very superstitious about its own firepower, has a kind of "religious emotion" in awe of the Chinese people's ability to survive such bombing and high-temperature combustion.

We saw Chinese soldiers seize two things they had never seen before in battle; one was a recoilless gun with a long black barrel, a flared tail, and many holes in the shell; the other was The gun body is thick and short, like a rocket launcher like a big radish.These two things were later handed over from the regiment to the division, from the division to the army, and from the army to the Volunteer Army headquarters. No one has ever seen them.Later, he was sent to a military research institute in Mianyang, Sichuan Province.Soon, these two weapons were imitated and quickly equipped with the Chinese army.

Regarding the artillery, once we saw Chinese soldiers capture four American-made howitzers on the battlefield.As the battle was going on fiercely at that time, the commander of the position found several mortar players and ordered them to learn to use this American-made howitzer immediately.

The war is urgent, and we are also in a hurry.Ah Yi asked Krupp eagerly with a changed voice: "Krupp, have you seen this kind of gun? Can you use it?"

"I haven't seen it. But I think the guns of any country are similar. As long as you have time to study it, it shouldn't be difficult!" The fat man shook his head and said slowly.

"But the problem is that we don't have time! Those bastard Yankees are about to charge up!" Mi Long was jumping anxiously on the side.

While we were yelling and screaming here, after a short study, those clever Chinese artillerymen found that except for the difference in opening the bolt and loading ammunition, which country's artillery was really similar, so they dragged the US military's four The guns opened fire on the U.S. troops.American soldiers scrambled amidst explosions that were far more powerful than Chinese mortars.The Chinese gunners said curiously and happily: "It turns out that American soldiers are most afraid of American guns!"

Since American pilots entered North Korea to fight, they have never encountered ground shooting, so they have always been flying close to the heads of Chinese soldiers.When diving, the wings can almost lift off the hats of Chinese soldiers. The machine gun bullets and bombs dropped by the plane caused great casualties to Chinese soldiers.

On the battlefield, whenever Mi Long saw this phenomenon, he would babble: "Why don't you fight? If I had a machine gun in my hand, I would definitely beat him to hell."

"Milong, stop making trouble. Their volunteers are disciplined, and they are not allowed to use light weapons to shoot into the air and masquerade." Ah Yi said.

Ah Yi really deserves to be a competent military officer. Not long after he arrived in North Korea, he already had a clear understanding of the various management regulations of the Volunteer Army.

It is reasonable to impose this discipline. Not only can small-arms fire into the air fail to shoot down aircraft, but it will expose ground targets, which will lead to more accurate bombing.If I were the commander of the position, I wouldn't let Milong mess around.

But one day, we saw a machine gunner who was anxiously bombed by a U.S. plane on a certain blocking position, and he raised his machine gun and was about to hit the plane.His deputy shooter hurriedly stopped him and said, "Deputy monitor, let's not make mistakes!"

The red-eyed machine gunner yelled, "Shoot me!" and then fired.

The first seven rounds fired missed.A plane swooped down on him, and he fired again, seven more.As a result, even he himself was stunned by the scene in front of him: a P-51 fighter jet tilted its wings, black smoke came out from behind its buttocks, and fell into a ravine, followed by a violent explosion and a ball of flames soaring into the sky.

"Hit it! Beat that guy down!" The Chinese soldiers on the battlefield cheered, and we also cheered secretly in our hearts!

The American pilot on the plane jumped out of the parachute, but because the altitude was too low, he fell on the tree before the parachute opened and was stabbed to death by a tree branch.

When the superiors sent people to the field to investigate this matter, no one dared to admit it, and they all said they didn't know.At this time, the United Nations army's more crazy attack began again.I saw this machine gunner picking up his machine gun and shooting back and forth on the position. He thought that as long as he was not dead, he would kill a few more enemies first.

A battalion of United Nations troops did not conquer the position held by the Chinese army in the end.

The brave soldier who risked punishment with a machine gun to hit the plane was named Guan Chonggui.This matter was reported step by step, and finally reported to Peng Dehuai, commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army.Mr. Peng, who was anxious about the weak air defense firepower of the Volunteer Army, was very excited when he heard it. He said: "This discipline has brought out an experience. It means that the light weapons in hand can shoot down enemy planes. It has encouraged the volunteer soldiers' confidence in air combat. Give this fighter a big reward!"

When the meritorious order was announced, Guan Chonggui felt as if he was dreaming.He was awarded the title of "First-Class Combat Hero" and recorded special merit.The fighter's fighting spirit was thus greatly encouraged, and in the ensuing battle, he showed amazing bravery and tenacity.

We had a good impression of this warrior, so we followed him for a while, and finally saw his most heroic scene.

He led a squad to persist in blocking the enemy, and all the soldiers in the squad were killed one after another. He was the only one left on the ground, and the large troops had already retreated.But three days later, U.S. planes were still bombing this position in turn. During the bombing interval, they vaguely heard gunshots that still resisted.Most of the U.S. military said that the bombing has been going on for several days, and it is impossible to have resistance from Chinese soldiers, but the gunshots are indeed still ringing.

After the commander of Guan Chonggui's unit learned of this, he was worried.Determined to send two battalions to outflank the position from both sides.After the troops rushed up, they saw that Guan Chonggui was the only one left in the position full of corpses of British soldiers and Chinese soldiers, still hiding in the crevices of the rocks and shooting at the enemy.

He ran out of ammunition and food, so he searched among the corpses. He stood alone for two days and three nights!When the Chinese soldiers who rushed up saw him, he couldn't stand up due to hunger and fatigue.Beside him, there were more than 30 pistols, machine guns, and pistols collected from the corpses of the British soldiers.

His indomitable spirit made all Chinese officers and soldiers respect him, including us!

Guan Chonggui is brave and lucky at the same time.

We have seen countless battlefields, and all our experiences have confirmed one point. Chinese officers are mature and wise, and Chinese soldiers are brave and ferocious.Just as brave and tenacious as the officers and soldiers of the Volunteer Army are thousands of stretcher members who followed the troops from mainland China.

Attacks by the Chinese army are all launched at night, because US military planes cannot take off at night.On the night when the army launched an attack, the stretcher members desperately rescued the wounded and fallen Chinese soldiers.Most of these stretcher riders are young farmers in Northeast China, and they have a flesh-and-blood bond with their soldiers.

They braved the severe cold and artillery fire to run where the fighting was fiercest.They picked up the dying compatriots on the icy ground, and then carried the wounded to the dressing station as quickly as possible.In order for the wounded to survive, they took off their warm clothes and covered the wounded.There were a lot of wounded, and the stretcher members were almost stripped of their clothes, which was not enough.So they came up with an ancient but effective method of putting stones on the fire to heat them and stuffing them in the quilts on the stretchers to keep the wounded warm.This method has been adopted by the Chinese army on the Korean battlefield in the future.

Seeing his brave and lovely fellow villagers, Mi Long couldn't help but sigh: "We people from the Northeast are righteous!"

Not too hot but not convinced: "Don't talk about the last thing? There are quite a few of us from Hunan who join the volunteer army!"

I glared at these two guys and said, "Stop arguing, this is a battlefield. We can't help and don't make trouble for others!"

This stretcher team composed of farmers from Northeast China was extremely brave in the Korean War.They often go deep into the border between the enemy and ourselves to find the wounded soldiers left behind by the Chinese army.Among them are the elderly in China.When some wounded soldiers couldn't bear to be carried by an old man who was old enough to be their father, the old man said: "Son, we are not old. We haven't reached sixty this year, so we are not old people!"

Hearing this sentence, all of us were shocked.We thought of Dr. Hao, a veterinarian who often said: "I'm 57 this year, I haven't reached [-] yet!"

I really hope that the kind veterinarian can have a stronger life in his next life!
