A strange scene in the Korean battlefield: a soldier angrily rushes to the crown and pursues more than sixty American troops

In October 1952, the units of the Volunteer Army, which had held their positions in Shangganling, launched a heroic counterattack against the enemy after a period of extremely arduous tunnel struggle.

On the evening of the 31st, the Ninth Company of the 3rd Battalion, 86th Regiment, 29th Division, 15th Army of the Volunteer Army, was instructed by their superiors to launch an attack on the American troops stationed at Position 2 on Hill 597.9.

Because this attack was supported by artillery fire, the commanders and fighters of the Ninth Company fought extremely bravely and tenaciously, so they successfully captured position 2.

But it didn't take long for the U.S. military to send out planes, tanks, artillery, and infantry for a frantic counterattack. In the fierce fighting that lasted for one afternoon, the Ninth Company suffered more than half of the casualties and still firmly held its position.

Guarding the front of the tunnel was a row of five soldiers in three shifts.

Before dusk, the enemy launched another onslaught, and after a wild bombardment, the squad leaders and three soldiers of the third squad were heroically sacrificed under the enemy's shells, leaving only Lin Bingyuan, a 20-year-old soldier from Nanchong, Sichuan, who was stunned by the shells.

When he was awakened by another shell, he opened his eyes to find about a company of enemy shouting and rushing over. Lin Bing's foresight comrades had all fallen, remembering the instructor's speech before the war, and made up his mind: Even if he was left alone, he would never let the tunnel mouth fall into the hands of the enemy!

It is not easy for a man to carry the enemy in a company! But Lin Bingyuan didn't care so much, he made the wisest choice: use grenades to deal with the enemy and put them closer!

Lin Bingyuan moved all the grenades he could find and placed a long list in front of him, and when the enemy rushed to less than 20 meters away, he quickly smashed the grenades at the enemy group, blowing up the enemy ghost and howling.

When the enemy dispersed and rushed over again, the rescuers appeared--three soldiers of the eighth company of the friendly position saw that the situation at the pit crossing of position 2 was critical and rushed to help with a machine gun.

Relying on their topographical superiority, the four men disintegrated the enemy's three charge in succession. But not long after, the enemy launched another crazy shelling of Position 2, three soldiers of the Eighth Company were killed one after another, and Lin Bingyuan was also hit in the head by a piece of shrapnel, and it was firmly embedded in the skull.

A good Lin Bingyuan actually endured the severe pain that could not be described in words, and forcefully pulled out the shrapnel with his hand, and after simply bandaging the wound, he continued to fight.

In this way, he continued to hold his position alone with wounds, and unbelievably repelled three more enemy charges.

The sky was completely dark, and the enemy, who had always been afraid of night fighting, also stopped attacking, which gave Lin Bingyuan plenty of rest.

He calmly analyzed the current situation and concluded that the enemy's attack the next day would be even more frantic, and if he continued to hold the position alone, he would face unimaginable difficulties, so he took the time to run to the company command post in the main position No. 2 and asked the company commander for help.

Unexpectedly, most of the commanders and fighters of the Ninth Company on the main position had already died gloriously in the daytime battle, leaving only the instructors and four soldiers who were seriously wounded!

Seeing this situation, Lin Bingyuan naturally could not say such a thing as requesting reinforcements.

The instructor squeezed Lin Bingyuan's hand and said, "The situation in the Eight Company is also very severe, we can only rely on ourselves, you go back and continue to guard the tunnel entrance, hold on for another day, you can complete the task!" ”

Lin Bingyuan had tears in his eyes and said firmly: "Instructor, please rest assured, I will complete the task no matter what!" ”

After returning to the mouth of the tunnel, he immediately repaired the fortifications, collected all the guns and ammunition he could find on the position, and prepared all the grenades and grenades.

Although there was silence all around at this time, Lin Bingyuan remembered the responsibility he shouldered, did not dare to rest at all, just re-bandaged the wound, and quietly waited for the enemy's attack.

After dawn, the enemy did launch another large-scale attack, and after a wild bombardment, about two platoons of infantry were dispatched to charge the mouth of the tunnel.

Lin Bingyuan was already familiar with the enemy's attack mode, he was lucky to dodge the shell bombardment, and his anger against the enemy was all ignited, and he radiated incredible combat effectiveness.

When the enemy rushed to the range of the bombs, Lin Bingyuan threw the grenades and grenades one by one, blowing up the enemy's confusion and retreating down the mountain.

According to common sense, since the enemy had been repelled, Lin Bingyuan only needed to stay at the mouth of the tunnel. But to the surprise of the enemy, Lin Bingyuan did not stand still, but hung grenades and grenades around his waist and chest respectively, and roared and chased after the enemy!

As a result, there was a stunning and strange scene on the Korean battlefield: a volunteer soldier with a head wound and a full of ammunition rushed to the crown with a furious roar, and the sound was like a huge thunder, chasing and killing like a tiger descending the mountain, and more than sixty American troops were chased by him and desperately fled.

Of course, Lin Bingyuan did not forget his duty, he chased down the mountain for a while, killed and wounded many enemies, and then collected a lot of guns and ammunition, still returned to the pit crossing to prepare for the next battle.

Lin Bingyuan fought with the enemy alone until the reinforcements sent from the battalion arrived, ensuring that Position 2 never fell into the hands of the enemy. According to statistics, Lin Bingyuan wiped out more than 140 US troops in these two days of fighting.

After the battle, Lin Bingyuan's heroic deeds were passed from the front line to the rear, becoming a famous lone hero of the whole army.

The leading organs of the Volunteer Army awarded him special merits and conferred the honorary title of "Hero of the Second Class".
