On January 1, 1951, the 346th Regiment of the 39th Army of the Volunteer Army and the 347th Regiment forcibly attacked in the direction of Ma Zhili. After reaching the target area at night, it was blocked by heavy enemy artillery fire. Jiang Chengyun, deputy squad leader of the first company of the 346th Regiment, felt that he had been pushed down and was unable to get up. Xiao Chen, a hygienist, cut open his cotton pants and found that his left leg exposed a blood hole in his fist, and quickly used a bandage to stop the bleeding.
Soon a shell hit, Xiao Chen fell down, and Jiang Squad Leader also went black in front of his eyes and fell into a coma. At dawn, Captain Jiang woke up to find the battlefield empty, looked at the body of Xiao Chen next to him, and felt infinite pain in his heart. In the silent mountain, there was no shadow at all, and many years of battlefield experience made him quickly vigilant, and he subconsciously reached out to touch the weapon, but found that the carbine had long been blown into two pieces.
At about 10 a.m., due to his unbearable thirst, he tried to climb forward, and suddenly found several white figures under the southern mountain forest. Captain Jiang hid in a grassy bush to hide, and when the figure approached, he found that it was two volunteer soldiers and three Fellow Koreans, and in order to ensure safety, Captain Jiang did not raise his hand until he heard Chinese. It turned out that the large troops had already gone south, this was the follow-up unit containment team, which was collecting the remains of the martyrs on the battlefield, and after Jiang Banchang lay on the stretcher, he fainted.
When he woke up, he saw a little boy cover him with a quilt in the haze, and when he woke up, the child ran out of the house happily and shouted, and after a while, an aunti with a water jug on her head and the appearance of more than fifty years old walked in, looked at Jiang Banchang with a kind face, and compared with her hands, speaking Chinese for half a lifetime, Jiang Banchang understood that Ama ni saved him, and is now recuperating in her family, because the family is poor, there is no nutritional products for him to eat, very sorry.
Ama Ni said, poured a bowl of porridge from the water tank, and then gently blew the hot air, carefully fed the ginger squad leader a mouthful, so fragrant! It's millet porridge! In order to save her own life, Ama ni took out the best food. Captain Jiang was extremely grateful, this man who had experienced hundreds of battles seemed to see his mother in weakness. The tears couldn't stop flowing. Amani smiled, and without stopping the rough and warm hands, wiped the tears from The face of Captain Jiang.
On the third night, Ama Ni entered the house and said that in order to transfer Captain Jiang to the temporary field hospital north of the 38th Line, he must go at night so as not to encounter American planes and ensure his safety.
That night the moon was particularly bright, and along the way, Ama ni and two village women, taking turns carrying Captain Jiang, marched on the rugged and dangerous mountain trail, and the little boy (Ama ni's grandson) took care of her all the way. Every half an hour of walking, there was a break, and Ama Ni was tired and unable to speak.
Because the temperature was too low at night, Jiang Banchang was very cold, his body was shaking constantly, and Amani gave him her scarf. The bumpy mountain road made the weak Jiang Banchang fall asleep, and when he woke up, he found that his originally cold feet had become very warm, and it turned out that Ama ni had taken off his wide and worn blue coarse cloth coat and tightly wrapped his feet.
After three hours of running, Aunti transferred Captain Jiang to the temporary field hospital, and when she was parting, Aunti bent down, one would examine his injured leg, the other would stroke his cheek, and look at Captain Jiang with infinite love. "Ama ni, Ama ni", Jiang Ban shouted like a rain of tears, until he looked at Ama ni's figure and disappeared into the night.
Due to the limited conditions of the theater hospital, Jiang Banchang was transferred to the Pyongyang Hospital, and then returned to China to be treated at the 15th Army Hospital in Jinxi, Liaoning Province, and because of his serious injuries, he was sent to the Xuzhou Army Hospital, where he was finally cured after more than half a year of meticulous treatment.
Captain Jiang applied to return to the battlefield again, and after receiving the approval to return to the army, it was already November 1951, and his unit had already taken over from the 47th Army and was responsible for the defense of the two sides of the Linjin River. He had been thinking about Ama ni in the moonlight that night, and inquired from many sources.
Unexpectedly, in a chance encounter, Zhang Bingyi, a medical assistant at the field hospital who treated him, learned that shortly after Ama ni sent him to the field hospital, her village was destroyed by a US military plane, and Ama Ni was unfortunately killed. Because the village was marked as a reception station for the wounded soldiers of the Volunteer Army and the People's Army. The leaders who reported the US military and carried out ground bombing were the South Korean puppet army guerrillas. Captain Jiang couldn't help but feel like a knife.
In July 1952, the troops moved to the Marangshan area to fight, because the rear of the position was often attacked by the US army, in order to capture the South Korean agents who guided the aircraft bombing, Jiang Banchang repeatedly signed up to participate in the battalion search team. At the end of September, during a night raid on the mountain, several South Korean agents were surrounded in a house on the mountainside. The other side desperately resisted.
At this time, Jiang Chengyun, who had been promoted to deputy platoon commander, calmly commanded, ordered three fighters to be held in front, two fighters moved their wings to shoot, and they detoured to the back of the house alone, and then the door rushed out of the two agents who wanted to escape, and met Jiang Platoon Leader head-on, several rounds of point shooting, the ground was dusty, and the two agents fell to the ground in response. The agents in the house still did not surrender, and finally the platoon leader ordered the grenades to explode, and finally, the remaining two agents in the house were eliminated. This battle killed 4 enemies and captured some important documents, weapons.
The old soldier recalled that the moon was particularly dazzling that night, and the captain of the Ginger platoon stood alone in the courtyard with a submachine gun, quietly looking up at the night sky, and the soldiers all said that the platoon leader missed Ama ni.
