In late May 1947, the third and fourth columns of the Liaodong Military Region, led by the famous general Han Xianchu, launched an attack on the defenders of meihekou in the middle section of the Shenji Railway.
After four days of fierce fighting, our army won a complete victory, annihilating a total of 7,188 enemy troops, ending the situation in which the liberated areas of southern Manchuria and northern Manchuria were divided.
What is less known is that a small soldier under Han Xianchu's command who was usually inconspicuous actually made a big splash in this battle, and even set a rare record of 125 enemy captured by himself. He was Miao Haiwen, a commander of the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion, 28th Regiment, 3rd Column and 10th Division.
The reason why he was able to make a splash in this battle was actually that he was "angry" by his comrades-in-arms, or it was related to the special position of the trumpeter.
Before joining the army, Miao Haiwen once dreamed of becoming a drummer. Since he was a child, he envied a person in the village who could whistle, outside the village, marriage and funeral, where there was a bustle, where there was such a person, the most important thing was that he saw that these people had wine to drink and meat to eat.
After Miao Haiwen arrived at the unit, he took the initiative to find the company commander and made a trumpet blowing motion, saying that he had seen such soldiers in the unit.
The company commander was worried that he was small and young, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it when he was in the class, so he took the initiative to ask to be a commander, and of course he agreed.
For the first two months, Miao Haiwen was in a state of excitement all day, thinking that he had finally learned to blow, although this kind of thing was not like the kind blown in the village, but he thought that this kind of sound was better than the sound in the village, and he would definitely have wine to drink and meat to eat when he went back in the future.
But before long, Miao Haiwen couldn't be happier anymore.
On that day, Miao Haiwen had an argument with a comrade-in-arms in the same platoon, and the soldier, under the condition of reasoning and words, said an angry sentence: "Miao Haiwen, you are counted as something, you have not killed an enemy, not even a prisoner has been captured, you have come to the army in vain." ”
Miao Haiwen was like someone had been punched in the head, so angry that he could no longer speak. After half a day of persuasion around his comrades-in-arms, he seemed to have some understanding and said breathlessly: "I Miao Haiwen must take a few prisoners and kill a few enemies to show him!" ”
Before the battle at meihekou had begun, he pestered the company commander and had to leave the line.
But the company commander not only refused, but also disciplined him: "Xiao Miao, the work of the commander is more important than anything else." Do you know? The company fights the enemy, it all depends on you to blow it, which is even greater than my power! Don't mention this matter again in the future, I will criticize you again! Don't think that you can be around me all day and make casual demands, obey the big picture! ”
The battle began, and Miao Haiwen's eyes dripped around the position, looking for the fighter. Seeing the excitement of his comrades-in-arms after destroying the enemy one by one, his heart was both envious and dissatisfied.
The opportunity finally came.
On the morning of the 25th, the company commander ordered Miao Haiwen to serve as a guide for the brother company, and after detouring back to the enemy's side, it was a place that their company had occupied.
Miao Haiwen accepted the task and quickly bypassed The 382 Heights with his brother company and entered the destination, after which he quickly returned.
On the way back, Miao Haiwen suddenly noticed that there was still enemy activity in front of an enemy barracks nearby. He thought, this barracks was conquered by us yesterday, how come there are still enemies today? Did the enemy regress from somewhere else?
At this time, Miao Haiwen suddenly had an inexplicable sense of excitement in his heart: "Everyone says that I can't catch the enemy, so I don't believe in this evil!" ”
Thinking of this, Miao Haiwen touched the enemy, and he slowly approached the enemy's barracks using the fortifications built by the enemy. When he saw that this was a large number of enemies, he couldn't help but be stunned: How can there be so many enemies? What to do?
Miao Haiwen thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: I will never give up this opportunity!
But how do you get started? Miao Haiwen suddenly made a clever move: the sound of east and west, bluffing, confusing the enemy.
Everything is ready. Miao Haiwen suddenly shouted, "You are surrounded, don't shoot and don't kill!" ”
After shouting, he quickly ran in the other direction: "One company to the left!" Two consecutive to the right! Three consecutive come with me! ”
When the enemy heard the shouts, it was as if the nest had been blown up, and there was chaos.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Miao Haiwen suddenly picked up the trumpet and blew it, and after blowing it, he shouted again: "Brothers of the Nationalist Army, you are surrounded, surrender quickly, we give preferential treatment to prisoners!" ”
Miao Haiwen shouted once to change places, and then blew a burst of charge trumpets. It made the enemy panic and guess, really thinking that he was surrounded.
"Give you the last five minutes to think about! I hope you cherish yourself, your parents are still waiting for you at home! Why bother to fight for Old Jiang's life again, but your own life! ”
At this moment, suddenly an enemy shouted, "Brothers, don't listen to his lies, we will find a way to rush out!" ”
When Miao Haiwen heard this, he was shocked, this guy can't stay, otherwise it will be a bad thing!
He glanced at the guy, and when he shouted again, he didn't hesitate to raise his hand and shoot. Although his usual marksmanship was not so accurate, this time he played an extraordinary role and was lucky enough to kill him.
"Give you the last minute, put the grab down and walk out the east door with your hands raised, or we'll shoot!"
As soon as Miao Haiwen's voice fell, several barracks seemed to explode, the sound of guns falling to the ground, and the plea for forgiveness of "don't shoot" sounded in unison, and then the enemy came out from the east gate one by one with his hands raised.
"The three companies are monitoring the people in the east, and anyone who dares to move will beat him to death!" Miao Haiwen bluffed again.
Seeing that the enemy had all gone out, Miao Haiwenxin said that he was done, and quickly went into the enemy barracks, grabbed a machine gun and went out.
The surrendered enemy trembled and squeezed into a circle, and Miao Haiwen frowned and shouted: "Everyone quickly line up, go forward from the eastern path, who disobeys and kills whom!" ”
Just then, the team rushed over. Seeing Miao Haiwen alone holding a large number of captives, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and drop their jaws in shock.
Everyone counted the number of prisoners, a total of 125, setting a record for a single prisoner of the enemy in the Liaodong Military Region.
Miao Haiwen became famous in one fell swoop when he first captured prisoners, which made the soldiers all look at him with astonishment and amazement, and was also highly praised by his superiors and honored for his first-class merit.
At the celebration meeting after the battle at Meihekou, the political propaganda team of the Tenth Division also compiled an Allegro drama called "Commander Miao Haiwen" to rehearse and perform in the whole division, which had the following words:
The trumpeter has Miao Haiwen, who can blow the trumpet and charge. The trumpet blew loudly, and when a hundred prisoners were caught, they hung zero...
