The Seventh Company prepared to move to the Dragon King Temple and handed over the cover task to the Sixth Squadron. In order to hold off the enemy, the five warriors attacked the enemy while luring them up the mountain. The rugged mountain road was full of enemy corpses. Class 6 completed the mission. In order to prevent the enemy from discovering the main force, the five soldiers of Class 6 led the enemy to a dead end. ?
The five soldiers climbed and shot at the same time. The warriors stood high and beat the enemy down again and again. After running out of ammunition, the squad leader ordered everyone to stone them, resulting in numerous enemy casualties.
The five heroes stood on the top of Langya Mountain, looking at the direction of the main force of the army, with the joy of victory on their faces. Look at the enemies who are still climbing up, and then walk to the edge of the cliff. They have no fear on their faces and jump down from the edge of the cliff one after another. Their heroic slogans ring out from Langya Mountain.
2. Liu Sihu
In early March 1947, the Kuomintang army reorganized the 48th Brigade and invaded Longxi Huachi. The first column, composed of the 358th Brigade and the First Independent Brigade, and the New Fourth Brigade, the Teaching Brigade, the First Police Brigade, and the Third Police Brigade formed the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Field Group Army. On March 4, Xihua Surrounded by pools. Liu Sihu's Sixth Company was ordered to attack an earthen fortress and was attacked by fire from an enemy bunker. Liu was shot twice in the leg.
After bandaging his wounds, he went into battle again, and finally captured Tuweizi with his comrades. After the battle, Liu was sent to the rear hospital for treatment. On March 14, Hu Zongnan concentrated 14 reorganized brigades to attack the border area. On the 18th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to temporarily abandon Yan'an.
At this time, the shouts of "defend Yan'an", "defend the Party Central Committee" and "defend Chairman Mao" resounded throughout the mountains and rivers of northern Shaanxi. He and several wounded people insisted on being discharged from the hospital. After more than ten days of searching, we finally caught up with the troops and participated in the battle against Panlong in early May.
After the battle, Liu gloriously joined the Communist Party of China. Since then, he has participated with the troops in various large and small battles and battles such as the attack on Longdong, Erda Yulin and Shajiadian and other internal operations, and has always performed well.
In February 1948, the Northwest Field Army adopted a siege and reinforcement strategy and surrounded the Kuomintang Army's reorganized 76th Division in Yichuan City with one force. The main force included Liu Sihu's first column and three other The column entered the Wazi Street area west of Yichuan and waited for reinforcements.
On the 28th, Liu Kan, commander of the 29th Reorganized Army of the Kuomintang Army, followed Hu Zongnan’s order and led the military headquarters, two reorganized divisions, and four reorganized brigades to assist Yichuan. Wazi Street entered the Renjiawan and Dingjiawan areas and was blocked and camped by the People's Liberation Army. In the early morning of the 29th, the first column pursued the enemy and occupied Wazi Street.
Seeing that the way forward was blocked and the way back was cut off, Liu Kan quickly organized a breakout and used two regiments to seize the highlands in the southeast mountains in an attempt to open up a westward retreat path. The leader of the first column handed over the task of retaking Southeast Mountain to the 8th Regiment of the 358th Brigade. At 10 o'clock in the morning, Liu led the assault squad soldiers to storm the No. 2 Highland.
Due to the steep terrain, four comrades were hit and fell by the enemy as soon as they reached the depression of Yuxian. Liu and two other soldiers took advantage of the smoke from the grenade explosion and threw themselves behind a big tree only seven or eight meters away from the enemy's trench. The enemy fired wildly, and two soldiers fell injured. Liu was the only one left in the assault squad. He threw four grenades, rushed to the edge of the enemy trench, stabbed four enemies to death one after another, and then crossed the trench to pursue the fleeing enemies.
The enemy commander discovered that there was only one person in the People's Liberation Army, so he forced the fleeing enemy soldiers to "capture alive." Before the enemy soldiers could turn around, Liu Sihu was caught up and stabbed two of them in succession. The enemy soldiers came to their senses and surrounded him. He gripped a steel gun with a bayonet and fought hand to hand with the enemy. At this time, a group of soldiers rushed up from the side, but were divided and surrounded by the enemy.
In order to save the squad leader who was surrounded, Liu stabbed another enemy soldier to death. Due to excessive force, Liu fell into the traffic trench. The enemy stabbed his head and body with more than a dozen bayonets. Only when the commanders and fighters of the fifth company arrived did they eliminate this group of enemy soldiers.
3. Mao Xingbiao
In December 1946, during the Battle of Subei, the Third Brigade of the First Column was responsible for sniping the enemy's 11th Division's reinforcements from the north and the enemy's 69th Division's escape to the south. .
At that time, Mao Xingbiao's feet were swollen and suffering from dampness, but he insisted on participating in the war. The troop leader agreed to his request and ordered him to lead an assault platoon and accompany the Ninth Regiment to the designated location in time.
Mao Xingbiao led the assault platoon and marched for more than 20 kilometers. Taking advantage of the darkness of night, he quietly inserted himself through the gaps in the enemy's outer strongholds and went straight to the area near Caojiaji, where the enemy's 11th Division was stationed. He found that there If there are enemy engineer battalions and cavalry battalions stationed, report immediately to the Second Battalion Headquarters. After asking for instructions from their superiors, the Second Battalion immediately launched an attack. After half an hour of fierce fighting, most of the enemy engineer battalion and cavalry battalion were wiped out. The assault platoon led by Mao Xingbiao captured three enemy machine guns and captured 60 or 70 enemy people.
In this battle, the assault platoon also sacrificed seven or eight soldiers. Mao Xingbiao took advantage of the break in the battle to organize the four squads into three groups, occupy the tomb fortress group, and snipe the reinforcing enemies. Although he was in a lonely position in front of the enemy, Mao Xingbiao was not timid and calmly commanded the entire platoon to fight against an enemy that was several times his own. When the casualties increased, three machine guns were also damaged, and he lost contact with his superiors and neighboring troops. Despite the situation, they persisted tenaciously for six or seven hours, and the position stood firm.
Until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mao Xingbiao correctly judged the battle situation: there had been no movement from the battalion and company headquarters for a long time, and no gunshots from friendly neighbors could be heard. The enemy was getting fiercer and closer, and it was certain that Our troops have withdrawn from their positions. As a result, he decisively led the assault platoon to evacuate. During the evacuation, Mao Zengyao, a soldier of the third squad, was seriously injured and decided to stay to protect everyone.
Mao Xingbiao said resolutely: "We are all class brothers, and we must die together. I have to take you out!" While supporting Mao Zengyao, he directed the soldiers to quickly evacuate to a safe area. After the battle, the soldiers unanimously praised Mao Xingbiao for "charging forward, retreating behind, wittily commanding, and fighting tenaciously" and elected him a combat hero. His superiors credited him with great merit, and the assault platoon achieved collective merit.
4. Wei Laiguo
Wei Laiguo was born in a poor family in rural areas. The family does not have an acre of land or a room. My father has asthma and cannot work well to support the family. When Wei Laiguo was 10 years old, his father had to sell his 14-year-old sister to someone else as a child bride for 180 yuan. In Wei Laiguo's memory, his childhood was spent wearing rags and going up the mountain to collect grass and firewood every day.
After attending primary school for one and a half years, he dropped out of school due to poverty. When he was in school, his teacher changed his nickname from Wei Kui to Lai Guo. At the age of 12, he went to work as a long-term worker in the family of a broad-nosed landlord. The annual salary is eight liters of corn. He gets up early every day and works hard until dusk. Once the landowner asked him to drive a donkey to pull dirt. The donkey was running in front and asked him to pick up a load of dirt and follow it. He was so tired at a young age that he couldn't bear it anymore. At night, he ran away home crying and said he would never go again. The landlord's family became a long-term worker.
In this way, he was asked to learn to be a plasterer. In fact, he worked as a laborer for a plasterer. At this time, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and his two uncles joined the Eighth Route Army. 14-year-old Wei Laiguo also joined the local youth anti-Japanese vanguard. Carrying a red cherry gun, he stood guard, sent intelligence to the troops, notified villages to guard against enemies grabbing food, and so on.
At that time, because the two uncles at home were in the Eighth Route Army, Wang Yingguo, the leader of the Japanese and puppet army squadron, kept bringing people to the house, beating his grandparents and parents with rifle butts, forcing them to hand over his two uncles, threatening Otherwise, Wei Laiguo, the only eldest grandson, will be arrested and killed. Grandfather was so frightened that he never dared to let Wei Laiguo go home.
My grandfather personally took him to live in a hole dug in a ravine to the east of the village. As a 14-year-old child, watching his relatives being beaten and beaten, he could only hide in Tibet. He had a home and could not return, and his heart was filled with hatred and anger. Therefore, at the age of 16, Wei Laiguo resolutely joined the Shidao Brigade of the Eighth Route Army with class hatred and national hatred.
Soon the Shidao Brigade was transformed into the Rongcheng Independent Battalion. Wei Laiguo, who was deeply bitter and resentful, joined the Communist Party a year later (with a one-month supplementary period). In the Independence Camp, he participated in dozens of battles such as the liberation of Longxu Island, Li Island, and Nanzhan. During the battle on Longxu Island, he captured a 38-gun and was immediately transferred by the military division.
At that time, the troops could only fire ten bullets at most. When he first joined the army, he was only given two rounds of bullets. When he was crossing the river, he accidentally dropped a bullet into the river. He searched in the river for two hours and couldn't find it. He was heartbroken. He thought the bullet was more valuable than anything else. valuable. Two more rifles were seized in the battle at Liuzichang, and Wei Laiguo kept one made in Hubei for himself.
In this battle, an enemy was only 40 to 50 meters away. Wei Laiguo chased after him and missed twice with two shots. Seeing the enemy run away, he gritted his teeth with hatred. Only then did he realize that even with guns and bullets, he still couldn't destroy the enemy without excellent technology. From then on, he made up his mind to practice shooting skills.
5. Dong Cunrui
On May 25, 1948, our army’s attack on Longhua City began. Dong Cunrui's company was tasked with attacking Longhua Middle School, the key defense point of the Kuomintang defenders. He served as the leader of the demolition team and led his comrades to blow up 4 gun towers and 5 bunkers one after another, successfully completing the required tasks. The company immediately launched a charge and was suddenly blocked by fierce firepower from a hidden bridge-shaped bunker.
The troops were blocked in the open area, and the second and fourth squads failed to blast the bunker twice. Dong Cunrui stepped forward and asked the company commander to fight: "I am a member of the Communist Party of China. Please allow me to go!" Resolutely picked up the packet of explosives and rushed to the bunker. Injuring his left leg while advancing, he tenaciously persisted and rushed to the bridge.
Since the bridge-shaped bunker is more than height above the ground, explosives cannot be placed on the bridge abutments at both ends. At the critical moment, he did not hesitate to hold up the explosive pack with his left hand, light the fuse with his right hand, and shouted: "For New China, charge!" The bunker was blown up, and Dong Cunrui opened a way forward for the troops with his own life. Lu, only 19 years old.
