In the early period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there were clear stipulations in the volunteer army.
Light weapons are not allowed to fire at enemy fighters
。 Because once it is not hit, it will expose our target and attract the crazy retaliation of the enemy, which is not worth the loss. One day, it was
Peng Dehuai
While in the war room to conceive a plan for the next battle, the guard hurried to come and say
A deputy squad leader on the front line shot down one of the enemy planes with machine guns.
Guan Chonggui
Because of the regulations in the army, the front-line instructors did not dare to make up their minds. Therefore, it was reported to Peng Dehuai. After Peng Dehuai listened, not only did he not get angry, but he was shocked by the case.
In the end, the soldier who shot down the enemy plane was not only not punished, but also promoted three levels by Peng Dehuai.
Who was the warrior who shot down the enemy plane?
When he was in danger, he gladly accepted it knowing that the murderer was more than ji shao
Shortly after the founding of New China, in order to defend the country, the Chinese Volunteer Army led by Peng Dehuai crossed the Yalu River to the Korean War, and this soldier who shot down the enemy plane with a machine gun was among the first batch of volunteers to fight in North Korea. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is a war that many people are not optimistic about.
Because compared with the well-armed and powerful US military, the Chinese volunteer army is really too backward, and the gap in strength between the two sides can even be described as a world of difference
。
The United Nations army, led by the US military, has absolute air supremacy, unscrupulously flying at low altitudes, and after discovering the target, it is often a wild bombardment
。 But even so, the volunteers did their best and participated in every battle with the determination to win. It was precisely because of this determination and fighting spirit that the final war was won. During this period, countless heroic warriors also emerged.
Korean
The hero who shot down enemy planes with machine guns is called the hero of the opening paragraph
He followed the 42nd Army into the Korean War.
On February 16, 1951, the Volunteers suffered heavy losses in the fourth battle, and the first front was seriously undermanned. In addition, because of continuous combat, the supply of volunteers also had problems, and the whole entered a state of strategic rest
。 But the U.S. military also sensed the problem of the volunteers at this time and did not give a chance to breathe. Immediately, a full-scale attack was launched against the Volunteer Army.
In this case,
The Volunteers ushered in the most difficult period
。 Unable to resist the enemy's strong fire, the Volunteer Sniper Force withdrew to the north bank of the Han River, where they tried their best to prevent the U.S. army from moving further north. At that time, Guan Chonggui was the deputy squad leader of the second squad of the first platoon of the 35th Regiment, during this campaign
, the instructor will guard
614 Highland Frontier Mountain
The task was given to Guan Chonggui
。 This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task.
Highland 614 is located less than a kilometer from the forward position,
The key is that there is no vegetation here that has been blown up by the enemy's planes, and it is difficult to find a hiding place, which is simply the enemy's here
"Live Target"
，
Even combat is a problem, let alone to stop the enemy from advancing. However, in the face of the instructor's arrangement, Guan Chonggui still agreed without hesitation, promising to ensure the completion of the task.
Stills of King Kong Chuan
The instructor looked at Guan Chonggui's swearing expression, and after all, he could not say a word.
Because the instructor also knows in his heart that this is simply an impossible task. And Guan Chonggui, who accepted this task, may become the first target of the enemy's attack at that time.
This time, it must be more fierce and less auspicious, and the instructor's heart is quite complicated, but the battle needs to be sacrificed, which is an unavoidable thing.
In a fit of rage, he shot down the enemy plane
After receiving the task, Guan Chonggui quickly arrived at the hill position with a machine gun team. After coming, Guan Chonggui found that as expected, this hill could not be cleaner. But Guan Chonggui can't manage so much,
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Guan Chonggui instructed his teammates to seize the time to carry out the fortifications, and they must be completed before dawn, otherwise they would soon be discovered by enemy aircraft in this 100% exposed situation.
But the tool is not very cooperative, because the pickaxe has been worn for a long time, and now it is only more than a foot long, small and flat. In this way, in the case of extremely bad tools, the warriors dug up the bunker overnight. It was only at dawn that the warriors were able to rest in the bunker for a while.
Battle map of the Fourth Campaign
After a hard night, their breakfast was only carried with them
Fried noodles
Because the logistics unit made a fire to cook and was easily discovered by the enemy, most of the logistics materials were damaged. In desperation, the logistics unit came up with fried noodles, a convenient food that can be placed for a long time. At that time, many warriors carried some fried noodles with them, and when they were hungry, they directly grabbed a handful to eat, and when they were thirsty, they grabbed some snow in the snow around them. This is the daily meal of the volunteers.
Guan Chonggui did the same, nibbling at the snow in his hand while observing the situation around the hill. Below this hill is a deep ditch with a ridge opposite it, and the enemy is likely to be hiding behind it.
Then this hill is also very important for the US military, and it is indeed a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Immediately after the sky was completely dark, the enemy's planes came to the skies over the hill and circled the main position behind the hill for a long time, followed by a strafing. After the strafing was finished, it flew away. But this was not the end, these four aircraft were only the enemy's wayfinding aircraft, and soon the enemy launched an artillery attack on the 614 position. Under the fierce fire of the enemy, Guan Chonggui commanded his comrades to quickly hide in the bunker.
After a round of bombardment, the enemy did not find Guan Chonggui, and then thought that there was no one, so they stopped the artillery fire.
Guan Chonggui concluded that in a few moments there would definitely be a large number of enemies pouring in from this side. To this end, Guan Chonggui and his comrades-in-arms set up machine guns and waited for the enemy to throw themselves into the net.
Unsurprisingly, after a while, about 40 enemies slowly moved from the opposite side of the ridge towards the hill. Guan Chonggui and his party waited until the enemy was not far away from them, and took the machine gun to shoot at the enemy. Now that the enemy is blindfolded, hasn't he already confirmed that there is no one on the hill? Today there are not only people, but also a machine gun group. Under the strafing of Guan Chonggui and his party, the enemy in front of them was soon killed, and the rest of the people did not dare to rush forward any longer, and turned around and quickly returned.
However, Guan Chonggui concluded that the enemy would certainly not give up on this, and that if he did not dare to advance, he would most likely not know the situation on our side, and would definitely go back to move the rescue troops. In this way, in less than a moment, the enemy made a comeback, and this time even sent out a plane
。 Four planes came to the sky over the hill, first tentatively circling around a few times, and then they strafed and bombed the hill, and for a time the fire was everywhere. The soldiers' dry food and water bottles in the trenches were blown away.
Volunteers cross the Yalu River
Because the altitude of the plane was particularly low, the fighters in the bunker could see the plane parallel from their eyes. Therefore, Guan Chonggui picked up the machine gun and prepared to find an opportunity to shoot down the plane in front of him. After the other warriors saw through Guan Chonggui's intentions, they rushed to stop him
"Squad leader, don't, you can't hit, this is a violation of discipline."
But the continuous sound of bombing outside made Guan Chonggui really can't think about it so much, and said:
"Even if you shoot me, Lao Tzu doesn't care"
After saying that, Guan Chonggui raised his machine gun and began to shoot at the oncoming plane.
Seven shots were fired in a row, and the enemy's fighters were not affected in the slightest.
Guan Chonggui saw that there was no effect, and hurriedly hid back in the bunker for the time being. Guan Chonggui believes that it may be because the aircraft is relatively fast and should not be aimed at shooting.
whereas
It is necessary to predict the direction of the aircraft.
After analyzing the reasons for the failure, Guan Chonggui picked up the machine gun again and fired a strafing at the plane, but after seven bullets, the plane was still intact. While Guan Chonggui was wondering, he suddenly heard his comrades-in-arms shouting happily:
"Squad leader, look, you hit
！”
Guan Chonggui looked over,
The enemy plane, which had just been very arrogant, had now begun to emit black smoke, followed by an uncontrollable rush to the ground, followed by a deafening explosion
。 Guan Chonggui was also frightened by the sight in front of him. Although he was determined to fight the plane, it was also the first time that he had shot down the enemy's plane, and the scene was so spectacular that he had seen it for the first time. The other comrades-in-arms were even more excited, and they ran to praise Guan Chonggui's accurate marksmanship.
The plane that was shot down by Guan Chonggui was of the US military
P51 fighter
, codenamed
"Wild Horses"
It was once one of the best allied fighters in World War II and a symbol of U.S. air power
The pilots who flew this level of fighter were also very arrogant, fighting for the good performance of the aircraft, flying and bombing wantonly. The plane was beaten this time, which also shocked these pilots, and even more made the US military put away its arrogance.
Repeatedly blocked the enemy's attack, peng Dehuai was promoted three levels in a row
But before they could rejoice for a moment, the enemy's other planes charged again, this time raising the flight altitude. But I didn't stop much longer, just a few laps around and left. As soon as the plane left, the soldiers of the machine gun group were excited,
They praised Guan Chonggui for shooting down the enemy's plane with only 14 rounds of ammunition
。 However, while he was happy, he was also a little worried, and although he had made meritorious contributions, he also violated the rules of the army.
Operational map of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Although Guan Chonggui's brain was hot at the time, he said that he did not care. But now that I calm down, I am also a little afraid. If the enemy plane had not really been shot down at that time, then 100% would have been retaliated against by the enemy, and the consequences for the organization would be immeasurable.
But even if it is shot down, the US military will not be willing to be damaged
。 Soon more than a hundred enemy troops gathered under the hill and rushed towards the hill. Obviously, this was aimed at Guan Chonggui and they were prepared
。 And Guan Chonggui's machine gun group is only five people, if you really want to fight, the disparity in strength is huge, it will be a vicious battle. Watching the enemy's black pressure coming, the warriors put away their hearts that had just been excited, and they were a little nervous.
Guan Chonggui stared closely at the distance of the enemy's advance, and when he was almost there, Guan Chonggui gave an order, and the soldiers of the machine gun group opened fire on the enemy in unison, hitting them by surprise. Although some of the enemy troops were blocked, a small wave of people still quietly approached Guan Chonggui, and after Guan Chonggui noticed it, he quickly turned the direction of the machine gun and fired at these people again. Soon, these people were a little overwhelmed and evacuated in a hurry.
P51 aircraft
But this was only the enemy's first attack, and more than an hour later the enemy launched another attack
This time, too, was beaten to the point of falling into disrepair. It went on several times, and eventually the enemy failed to attack. The enemy also speculated about how many troops were hidden on this hill, and I am afraid that they would not have dreamed that it was just a group of only 5 people.
After repeated defeats, stubborn enemies eventually adopted
Long-range artillery attack
Although Guan Chonggui and several others were not injured, they were really uncomfortable by the artillery fire, so they lasted until night, and the enemy's artillery fire also stopped. The instructor also happened to inform Guan Chonggui that they were going down the mountain.
After returning home, although Guan Chonggui knew that he had completed his task, he did violate military regulations and consciously wrote a review. In the face of the regulations in the army, Guan Chonggui told his comrades-in-arms that his eldest husband should do things alone and that he was willing to bear the punishment he deserved. But what Guan Chonggui did not know was that in the military,
He just used it
14 rounds of ammunition
The news of shooting down the enemy planes has spread all over the place, and the more they spread, the more they are, and the other fighters are also scrappy and want to shoot down the enemy planes
The instructor really didn't know how to deal with this matter, so he reported it layer by layer and went to Peng Dehuai. At this time, Peng Dehuai was feeling a headache because of the enemy's air power, and was very happy to hear this good news coming from the front, after knowing the process of the whole thing, Peng Dehuai not only did not get angry, but praised Guan Chonggui vigorously.
denote:
"Although it is a violation of the regulations, it also lets us know that small arms can shoot down enemy aircraft, which also has a great encouraging effect on the soldiers." I want to reward this warrior well. ”
In the end, Guan Chonggui was directly promoted from deputy squad leader to three levels and became deputy company commander
。 Guan Chonggui is also famous because of this matter. More because of the repeated repulsion of the enemy army, was granted
"Title of First Class Combat Hero".
Today, China's air military strength has already made leaps and bounds of development, and our soldiers no longer need to use light weapons to fight against enemy aircraft, but the enthusiasm and bravery of the older generation of revolutionaries are worth remembering forever!
