Tan Bingyun, a first-class combat hero and special meritorious hero of the Volunteer Army, once blocked a division of the US army with his strength for 8 hours, and made great contributions to covering the retreat of large troops. However, after the transfer of profession, Tan Bingyun was willing to do the work of carrying the body in the funeral home in his hometown, so that people who were not familiar with him laughed at him behind his back, saying that he had either made a mistake or had a bad composition, otherwise how could he do such a job that most people were unwilling to do? But Tan Bingyun laughed at this, the real hero has long passed the realm of relying on mundane objects to flaunt himself.
【Battle Hero Tan Bingyun (right)】
At the end of the fifth campaign, the US military took advantage of the weakness of the volunteer army's logistical supply and gathered a number of units led by the US 7th Infantry Division, totaling more than 130,000 people, to form a so-called "task force", taking advantage of mechanization, advancing 60 kilometers in three days in an attempt to cut off a part of the volunteer army south of the Zhaoyang River. In order to avoid being wrapped in dumplings by the enemy, the 239th Regiment of the 80th Division of the 27th Army of the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army was ordered to block the enemy and buy time for the large troops to retreat.
Below Hill 390 is a highway with a river on one side and a cliff on the other. The highway just turned a corner here, no matter what vehicles came here to slow down, Tan Bingyun felt that this was simply an excellent ambush position, Tan Bingyun took the warrior Mao he down to the side of the road to build a defensive position. Not long after the position was built, several pillars of light shot from the distance, which were particularly dazzling in the dark night.
【U.S. tanks on the move】
There were more and more pillars of light, accompanied by a rumbling shake. It's tanks! Mao He suddenly tensed up. The tanks were getting closer, and the huge shaking made the stones on the ground jump up, and it was impossible to see how many there were in the darkness. Tan Bingyun took out an RPG43 and stuffed it in Mao He's hand and said, "Wait here, I'll go first." "After saying that, he climbed out of the fortification and climbed towards the tank.
Mao He watched Tan Bingyun's figure, only to see him climb to a distance of only a few meters away from the tank, throw a grenade at the tank with a raised hand, with a bang, the headlights on the tank went out, but the tank did not stop, while accelerating and rushing over, while using machine guns to shoot indiscriminately, the tank quickly rushed past Tan Bingyun. Tan Bingyun was anxious, and he couldn't hide, so he jumped up and threw the second grenade at the tank, and the grenade landed on the engine cover. This time the tank stopped, but because it was too close, a piece of shrapnel cut through Tan Bingyun's forehead and threw him to the ground.
Mao He in the distance couldn't really see it, and when he saw the squad leader fall to the ground thinking he had sacrificed, he immediately rushed over desperately. I saw that Tan Bingyun's forehead was bleeding like blood, and one eye had been mushed. When Tan Bingyun saw Mao He, he couldn't care less about the injury and hurriedly asked, "What about tanks?" "It's already reimbursed." "Then hit the second one." After saying that, he rolled on the ground and strafed with a submachine gun to help Mao and attract fire. The two men worked together to blow up the second tank, and Tan Bingyun touched his body, and there was no grenade.
He ordered Mao he to go back to fetch the grenade, and he stood alone on the road. The two tanks were destroyed, and the tanks in the back could not understand the situation for a while, and they all stood still, only turning the muzzle of the gun and hitting the front. The rubble raised by the explosion flew randomly on Tan Bingyun's head, and in the confusion he saw a jeep with lights on and rushed to him, he raised his hand to a shuttle, which was hitting the driver, and the jeep overturned on the spot, just blocking the remaining little road completely.
At dawn, Mao He returned with a grenade, and Tan Bingyun ordered him to go back to the highway to set up an ambush, while he climbed to the cliff with the grenade and looked at the road condescendingly. Two tanks and a jeep had blocked the road, and the tanks in the back were already reversing when they could not advance, and the road was in a mess, because they did not know how many troops were ambushed in front, and the infantry did not dare to rush forward.
Tan Bingyun quietly approached, seeing the opportunity to throw a grenade on a tank, this time the explosion caused more chaos, the enemy has completely lost the courage to advance, and they have turned around and retreated to the back. In this battle, Tan Bingyun destroyed 3 tanks, 1 jeep, and killed 13 enemy soldiers. The most crucial thing was that the enemy's way forward was blocked, and by the time they opened the road again, it was 8 hours later, and the large army of volunteers had already crossed the Han River. Afterwards, when Peng Deqing, commander of the 27th Army, saw Tan Bingyun, he excitedly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good you Tan Bingyun, you are really a life-saving bodhisattva!" Only then did Tan Bingyun know that this blockade battle had such a great significance.
Tan Bingyun rongli special merit, won the title of first-class combat hero. After the war, Tan Bingyun returned to his hometown in Baisha, Chongqing, where he first served as deputy chief of the Public Security Bureau and then transferred to the Civil Affairs Bureau. During his time at the Civil Affairs Bureau, a funeral home was built in the county, but due to the influence of traditional concepts, no one was willing to work on the work of carrying the remains and giving them makeup and makeup, and the combat hero took the initiative to take on the work that no one else was willing to do.

Therefore, on the way from Baisha County Hospital to the county funeral home, people can always see a person pulling a scooter to transport the body, and everyone is afraid to avoid it. People are talking about whether they are willing to do such work or they are counter-revolutionaries! But who knew that this was a great hero who made the US military marvel on the battlefield? Hearing these rumors, Tan Bingyun just laughed and ignored them, who would care about people who were really accustomed to seeing life and death?
