When the attack reached the fourth barbed wire, the 9th Company was blocked by enemy bunker fire, and the entire company was suppressed and unable to raise its head.
The 3rd squad organized several explosions in a row, although the barbed wire was blown down, but the blasting of the Korean bunker was unsuccessful, and the whole class was sacrificed. The soldiers threw bombs at the enemy bunker, but to no avail. Chen Kaimao stepped forward and rushed to the enemy fort, and was shot 3 times on his body, but he used all his strength to pounce on the enemy fort firing hole.
Chen Kaimao was sacrificed, but the enemy's bullets still shot out of his unblocked gun eyes. Cai Chaoxing, who was immediately behind Chen Kaimao, was about to insert a grenade into the bunker when his right arm was interrupted, and he jumped up and pounced on Chen Kaimao's body, firmly blocking the enemy's gun hole. With his life, he cleared the way for his comrades-in-arms to completely annihilate the enemy.

At the critical juncture when the attack was blocked by the enemy's bunker fire, Zhao Yongwang, who had run out of ammunition, resolutely blocked the enemy's gun muzzle with his body, ensuring that the troops completely annihilated one platoon of the enemy, and enabling friendly and neighboring troops to occupy the position and eliminate the enemy's two reinforced platoons.

The north hill of Seokdaedong is the key point of the US military's garrison. The volunteers attacked three times, but without success.
Xu Jiapeng and his comrades in arms of the assault platoon inserted themselves from the front into the main peak of the enemy position, opening the way for the follow-up troops. When the enemy's three barbed wire fences were continuously broken through to approach the main peak, an enemy fire point in front of it was frantically strafing with machine guns, blocking the way forward of the assault platoon. Soldier Sun Qiulun held an explosive package in his arms and prepared to destroy this fire point, but he was shot and killed before he could take a few steps forward.
Without waiting for the platoon leader to give orders, Xu Jiapeng grabbed the explosives package and jumped up, deftly dodging the enemy's bullets and rushing to the bunker. Just a few meters away from the bunker, the bullet hit Xu Jiapeng's legs, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
Just when everyone thought he had sacrificed, he saw that he stubbornly stood up again, slowly climbed to the front of the enemy bunker, and pulled down the fuse. But the package of explosives, which was wet with rain, did not explode. He dragged his injured leg around the bunker, looking for the entrance to the bunker, but he couldn't find it. Seeing that the time for charging was approaching, the enemy's machine guns were still frantically spitting out tongues of fire.
At this time, everyone saw Xu Jiapeng suddenly stand up and pounce on the shooting hole of the enemy bunker, block the muzzle of the gun that was shooting with his chest, and use his 22-year-old life to open up a way forward for his comrades-in-arms.
Inspired by Xu Jiapeng's heroic behavior, the comrades fought bravely, quickly captured the main peak of the enemy position, and finally won the counterattack battle with the record of annihilating more than 3,500 enemy people.

At this time, Li Jiafa's body had been injured in 7 places, his left leg had been pierced by bullets, and the ammunition had been used up.
