The combat hero and special meritorious man introduced today, named Dong Mingde, is a native of Penglai, Shandong, who joined the army in 1947 and was serving as a platoon commander of the 7th Company of the 373rd Regiment of the 125th Division of the 42nd Army of the Volunteer Army when he entered the Korean War in 1950.
In November 1950, Dong Mingde participated in the Tokugawa Area Blockade With the whole company. Due to the tense war, the company only received the task, but did not give any to the enemy's intelligence superiors, asking them to think of their own way, and the company gave this task to Dong Mingde.

Dong Mingde had worked in the reconnaissance squad and had experience, so he set off with a few people.
Soon, they encountered an enemy patrol of 10 people, and then looked ahead, and a base camp under the enemy's mountain was shining, what to do? If you shoot, you will definitely alarm the enemy's base camp, and then you will not be able to eat and go away.
Dong Mingde thought about it, led everyone forward quickly, quietly ran in front of the enemy, and then lit a pile of fires in a mountain pass. The enemy squad was walking along the mountain road, when they suddenly noticed that there was a fire in the mountain pass, and they walked towards here.
Dong Mingde did not move, because they were wearing the costumes of the South Korean army, the American troops asked them wow, but no one understood, Dong Mingde stood up, kept laughing and waving to them, signaling them to come and roast the fire.
The U.S. troops thought it was their friendly troops, so they let down their guard and walked over.
At this time, Dong Mingde was the first to act, directly using the dagger to result in an enemy. The others also immediately got up, each with a dagger, and pounced on the enemy. The enemies were all frightened and did not understand what was happening, and in less than 5 minutes, 7 enemies were stabbed to death, and the remaining 3 quickly fell to their knees and surrendered.
Dong Mingde took the three prisoners back to the company, and after interrogation, he had a clear understanding of the enemy's deployment and troop strength.
After the Tokugawa Blockade War began, it was precisely by relying on the information obtained by Dong Mingde that our army carried out targeted defenses, which greatly reduced the pressure on our army.
The counterattack battle soon began, and Dong Mingde received a very difficult task: to lead a squad and take down the simple bridge leading to the enemy camp in Yuepuli!
This is not a simple bridge, all the enemy's material transport must pass through this bridge, and they are also ready to blow up this bridge, because if our army wants to counterattack, the large troops must pass through here, blow up this bridge, and also block the advance of our army.
After a day of reconnaissance, Dong Mingde found that the enemy's explosive device had been placed under the bridge, and before attacking, cutting the enemy's fuse was the first.
That night, Dong Mingde took a soldier and began to move. Due to the rapid flow of this river, Jiangxin was not frozen at this time, Dong Mingde and his warriors climbed on the ice for a while, and then jumped into the cold and bone-chilling river water and swam to the opposite bank. Think about that taste, can you stand it?
The enemy's searchlights kept shining back and forth, and the two cleverly dodged the searchlights and came to the opposite bank of the bridge, quickly found the fuse, and cut it. At this point, the two were almost frozen.
After Dong Mingde cut the fuse, he fired a shot into the sky, and the fighters on the opposite bank immediately launched an attack on the other side of the bridge.
The enemy was suddenly attacked, and it was too late to react, as a result, Dong Mingde led people to attack back and forth, and quickly annihilated the enemy on the bridge, a total of 30 people, not a single one left!
The enemy's base camp was 10 kilometers away from here, and Dong Mingde also had a task, that is, to take the lead in reaching the enemy camp in Yuepuli, launching an attack on them, and delaying their escape speed, so as not to merge with the large troops.
When Dong Mingde arrived at Yuepuli, the enemy's two companies had begun to assemble, and the cars had already started. It's too late! Dong Mingde immediately gave the order: Launch an attack on the enemy's vehicles, and all the guys with them will use them!
In this way, everyone will continue to smash the grenades and grenades in their hands at the enemy's cars, and in less than 5 minutes, all 26 of the enemy's vehicles will be reimbursed.
In fact, the enemy army has two companies here, and it was completely possible to confront our army, but it was confused by a grenade from Dong Mingde, thinking that a large force of our army had come, and fled along the road in a panic, completely losing combat effectiveness, and finally being completely annihilated by our army.
In this victory in the Tokugawa Blockade Battle, Dong Mingde made a great contribution, and the Volunteer Army Headquarters awarded him the honorary title of "Hero of the Second Class" and promoted him to deputy company commander.
