Those who have seen the movie "Heroes and Children" may never forget that the volunteer soldier King became a defender, shouting at the walkie-talkie: "Shoot at me!" This scene is still unforgettable, and many years later such a scene was staged in the counterattack against Vietnam.
However, the protagonist was replaced by Yang Qiliang, who entered the army in 1983, and then was transferred to the front line of the counterattack against Vietnam to participate in the "Battle of Two Mountains", he was a soldier of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division, and once he arrived at the front, he lived in a cat's ear hole like other soldiers.
This is a kind of air raid shelter similar to a cat's ear hole, the space is very small, coupled with the humid and hot weather, in the cat ear hole is like entering a steamer, the sweat soaks the clothes and then never drys again, the humid air makes the crotch itch and ulcerate, and there is no change of clothes for a year.
Some people say that living in the cat ear hole for a year is equivalent to eating a lifetime of suffering, not killing the enemy is also a meritorious achievement, Yang Qiliang lived in the cat ear hole for a year, and he also fought alone to kill 18 Vietnamese troops, in order to hold the position, he did not hesitate to call for artillery to bomb himself.
It was on March 9, 1984, when our army was in control of Hill 166, the Vietnamese army tried to seize it, sent a company of troops, since the victory of our army in 1979, the Vietnamese army has been beaten and dare not carry out large-scale operations, usually a platoon or a squad size battle.
This time, a company was actually sent, which showed how important the Vietnamese army was to the capture of the 166 heights, and since this was the case, it was even more impossible for the Vietnamese army to succeed, and the Vietnamese army made 7 charges to the nameless heights on the north side of the 166 highlands, all of which were repelled by our army, and our army also suffered casualties.
Then the company ordered, then the squad leader Yang Qiliang with 3 fighters to support the north side of the nameless highland, Yang Qiliang and 3 fighters together into the north side of the No. 1 post, after nightfall, the Vietnamese army launched a sneak attack, Yang Qiliang and his comrades calmly responded to the battle, repelled many Vietnamese attacks.
However, all 4 of them were injured, Yang Qiliang was the most lightly injured, the other three fighters could not move, only Yang Qiliang was left to hold the position, through the walkie-talkie, he reported the situation to the company, and expressed his determination, "People are in the position!" ”
The Vietnamese launched a fierce attack again, the swarms of Vietnamese troops seemed to be everywhere, Yang Qiliang kept firing, while firing at the walkie-talkie called for artillery support, he shouted: "Fire at me!" "Obviously, the Viet Cong is already close to him.
After receiving the call, our artillery immediately launched a shot at the position, fortunately the shell did not hurt Yang Qiliang, with the cooperation of artillery fire, Yang Qiliang alone held on to the position for more than 4 hours, defended the position, cleaned up the battlefield and found that there were 18 bodies left by the Vietnamese army.
Yang Qiliang was ready for sacrifice, this great difficulty was not expected to die, comrades-in-arms called him "living Wang Cheng", his company was awarded the title of "Sticking to the Hero Company", in 1996, Yang Qiliang transferred to the industrial and commercial system.
From a combat hero to a person who helps the masses solve consumption contradictions, he solves the most consumer complaints and mediation, and Yang Qiliang in his work is very dedicated and enthusiastic, and is affectionately called "old lady uncle" by consumers.
