In mid-April 1946, the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army and the 30th and 38th Divisions of the Kuomintang New First Army fought a battle at Siping for several days.
On April 22, the 56th Regiment of the 19th Division of the 7th Column of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army captured the oil chemical plant and the Kant Fire Mill Building, and continued to pursue the enemy north.
Three companies and two platoons of one battalion, acting as sharp knife platoons, moved extremely quickly and fiercely, all the way to the flat ground south of the railway roundabout.
However, due to the fact that the second platoon went deep alone and chased too fiercely, it suddenly burrowed into the enemy's heart socket and fell into the predicament of being attacked on three sides. To make matters worse, the second platoon lost contact with the company, and the platoon leader was killed in the battle.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the enemy saw that the number of people in the second platoon was small, and opened fire on them from three sides, and the commanders and fighters of the second platoon were pressed down and could not lift their heads, and the situation was very passive.
Deputy platoon leader Pang Jinrong was a well-known "stunned young man", so he had to take the whole platoon to fight in the east and kill in the west.
However, as the second platoon suffered even greater casualties, Pang Jinrong resolutely decided: retreat along the original road and find the company.
The fighters had just moved to the hidden walls of the two locomotives on the east side of the road, and found that the garage on the retreat road was also full of enemies.
In the face of this complicated situation, Pang Jinrong was overwhelmed for a moment, and the warriors were also anxious to break into a cold sweat.
At this critical moment, I suddenly heard the fierce sound of machine guns and the roar of "catch alive, catch alive" in the garage.
When everyone looked, they saw only a young warrior carrying more than a dozen grenades and a portable magazine gun, like a warrior who would emerge from the enemy position.
He rolled on the ground for a moment, and then he lunged forward and was running toward this side.
"Own people!" Pang Jinrong found that the visitor was wearing a red triangle cloth on his chest and immediately ordered the machine gun to cover.
The people who came were sweating profusely, their clothes torn to shreds, and they ran over breathlessly and asked, "You are three in a row, who is the platoon leader?" ”
Pang Jinrong grabbed a few steps and said, "I am the deputy platoon leader, and the platoon leader has sacrificed." ”
Sun Yongzhang, who was only 20 years old, nodded and said, "I came to fight with everyone, and the company commander asked me to command here." ”
Pang Jinrong listened to it for a moment, and in his heart he couldn't say whether he was uneasy or unconvinced by Sun Yongzhang, and he threw his hands together and said, "Forget it!" Follow us back and find the company commander. ”
Sun Yongzhang said emphatically: "No, our task is to fight forward, to take down the railway roundabout, to stay there, and intercept the enemy retreating to the north." ”
When Pang Jinrong heard that hitting the railway turntable could intercept the enemy, he was full of strength again, shouting like a thunderbolt: "Then you say, how to fight?" As long as the enemy can be destroyed, I Pang Jinrong can obey the command. ”
Sun Yongzhang briefly explained the enemy's situation to everyone, and then ordered all the backpacks to be unloaded and placed on the north side of the two hidden walls, one as a machine gun cover, and the other lightly armed, and then gave the task to the squads.
At this time, the machine gun bullets of the enemy on all sides fired wildly at the hidden wall, and the thick brick wall was penetrated through countless holes, and the warriors lay under the roots of the hidden wall, waiting for the order to attack.
"Come with me!" Sun Yongzhang raised the box gun into the air, and the first one jumped out of the south entrance of the locomotive's hidden wall, and the soldiers followed closely to the roundabout street.
The enemy guarding the area around the turntable, seeing that the number of attacking people was small, mobilized several machine guns and mounted them on the turntable, and the bullets rolled like a fierce wind to the second row.
Sun Yongzhang immediately ordered, "Lie down! "The warriors were lying on the ground and were crushed by bullets and could not lift their heads.
Sun Yongzhang was lying on a small stone, like lying on a big fire. The enemy's dense fire poured in like a splash of water, hitting him back and forth.
He knew that the large army was coming to this side, and the enemy on both sides was hastily retreating in the direction of the turntable. All this required the soldiers of the second platoon to quickly take down the turntable, turn the tide of the battlefield, and block the enemy's retreat.
He glanced back at the soldiers lying around, and Huo Di stood up and shouted, "Party members and members, rush with me!" ”
Before the words could be heard, Sun Yongzhang leaped forward with an arrow step and threw two grenades at the enemy. Pang Jinrong and the warriors rushed out after them.
At this time, the enemy also threw a row of grenades, two of which landed at Pang Jinrong's feet, constantly circling.
Sun Yongzhang's eyes were fast, he jumped over with one step, opened his bow left and right with both feet, and kicked two grenades that were squeaking and smoking out more than ten meters away. Immediately after, he rolled over on the spot and protected Pang Jinrong's body.
After three loud noises, several warriors hurriedly crawled over, only to see sun Yongzhang's left hand bleeding in two places, and the rubble and mud from the grenade explosion pressed on him.
Everyone was trying to rescue them, but Sun Yongzhang woke up from his coma, he suddenly stood up, and before he could shake off the dirt on his body, he shouted: "Comrades! Stop here and be beaten, rush up is victory! ”
One by one, the warriors rushed to the enemy position with bayonets, and Pang Jinrong was the first to rush up, flying up and kicking away the enemy's machine gun, and the sharpshooter grabbed the submachine gun in the other enemy's hand and strafed at the enemy group.
After a fierce battle, the enemy crossed more than a hundred corpses, and dozens of remaining remnants of the enemy hugged their heads and scurried around.
Pang Jinrong also wanted to follow the pursuit, but was chased back by Sun Yongzhang, and immediately organized the entire platoon to return to the "turntable" for defense. In this way, they intercepted the retreat of more than six hundred enemies and staged a great reversal of the battlefield.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, company commander Zhu Zhaowen rushed to the turntable with the first and second rows, tightly held Sun Yongzhang's hand and said: "Instructor, on your first day in the third company, you brought such a big victory, it really can't get up!" ”
Pang Jinrong also walked over and said excitedly, "Instructor, you appeared in time when the battle situation was critical, just like a warrior who turned out to be a warrior, and became our Dinghai God Needle, which is really remarkable!" ”
"Instructor!" "Instructor!" The warriors cheered along.
Shortly after the end of this war, Sun Yongzhang was rated as a "model instructor" by the headquarters of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army for his outstanding performance.
