On November 4, 1952, the Chinese Volunteer Army, the U.S. Army, and the ROK Army were in full swing at Shangganling. During the day's fighting, two stunning heroic warriors appeared in the volunteer army.
As we all know, the US military dispatched 7 battalions of troops to seize Shangganling, and it has a huge advantage in weapons and equipment.
The Volunteer Army had only 2 companies responsible for holding Shangganling, one of which was the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion, 87th Regiment, 29th Division, 15th Army.
On November 4, the Fifth Company dispatched an assault platoon to launch a counterattack operation against the North Hill of Highland 537.7.
The third squad was the one that rushed to the front, the squad leader heroically sacrificed in the fierce battle with the enemy, and Xue Zhigao, the deputy squad leader from Jianyang, Sichuan, immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to act as the squad leader, leading the soldiers to continue to attack the enemy position bravely.
Although Xue Zhigao was wounded and bleeding profusely in his left arm in the ensuing battle, he completely ignored it and became more and more courageous. Under his leadership, the warriors moved extremely quickly, and after a bitter battle, they finally took the target position.
According to post-war statistics, the three squads achieved the result of annihilating 28 enemy soldiers in this round of counterattack.
However, the US and ROK troops were certainly not willing to change their positions, first bombarding with artillery fire, and then dispatching infantry to frantically counterattack, making the volunteers who held their positions pay a considerable casualty price.
In the deadly battle with the enemy, Xue Zhigao was blown off his legs, and only a little skin was still connected to the broken place, and the pain caused him to pass out immediately.
After waking up, he called out to his comrades-in-arms, but no one answered for a long time, and after a while, a voice came from the other side of the position: "Deputy squad leader?" I'm here..."
Xue Zhigao knew from his voice that this warrior, who also spoke Sichuanese, must be Wang Heliang, and it seemed that there were only two of them left on the position.
At this time, the smoke gradually dissipated, Xue Zhigao looked at it in a follower, and the person who answered the question was indeed Wang Heliang, and he was also groping towards his side, but his face was full of blood, his eyes were injured, and he looked blind.
Only after asking did he know that Wang Heliang had indeed injured his eyes, of which the left eyeball was shattered by shrapnel, and the right eye was also damaged, and he could only vaguely see things very close.
Fortunately, the first aid kit on the body was still there, and the two helped each other to simply bandage the wound.
There was no doubt that the wounds like Xue and Wang were already seriously injured, and they must be withdrawn from the battle as soon as possible and sent to the rear for treatment.
However, in the fierce Battle of Shangganling, which was rare in the world, the volunteer army faced a crazy attack of dozens of times that of its own enemy, but there were very few people who could be put into battle, and if they went off the battlefield as soon as they were wounded, it would be equivalent to giving up their positions to the enemy.
Of course, Xue Zhigao and Wang Heliang understood this truth, so no matter how badly they were injured, they would never have the idea of withdrawing from the battle, and they had only one belief in their hearts: fight! Keep fighting! If you don't hold out until the last breath of your life, you won't stop!
But the two of them had broken one of their legs and could not walk, one of them was injured in both eyes and was basically blind, so how could they fight the fierce enemy?
For this seemingly insoluble problem, the two volunteer soldiers found the answer: you are my eyes, I am your leg - the blind Wang Heliang carried the broken leg Xue Zhigao on his back, forming a complementary combination, Wang Heliang was responsible for letting the two move, and Xue Zhigao was responsible for pointing out the direction and shooting.
The expedient measure of these two seriously injured people under their helplessness has become a shocking duo on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea!
The enemy launched a new round of assault, and when they rushed to the position of the volunteer army, thinking that there was no one there, and laughing triumphantly, they found a scene of great strangeness: a particularly tall figure suddenly emerged from the bunker and shot at the enemy in front of them.
The U.S. and Rok soldiers were stunned to see it: What kind of monster is this?
When they looked more closely, they couldn't help but be stunned that this "monster" was actually composed of two volunteer soldiers.
The soldier above was lying on the shoulder of his comrade, his legs blurred with blood and flesh, but he was constantly shooting with a gun in his hand.
The soldier below had bandages around his eyes and blood on his face, but he carried his comrades on his back and rushed towards the enemy without fear!
In the face of this incomparably peculiar combination of battles, several enemies at first thought that it was some monster that suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and they turned around and fled in fright.
When they saw clearly that this was a combination of two seriously injured volunteer soldiers, they couldn't help but be deeply shocked: the Chinese soldiers were so terrible that they were wounded and insisted on fighting!
When the enemy came back and found that there were only these two volunteer soldiers on the entire position, it was as if he had been stimulated by something, and the attack became even more frantic.
Xue Zhigao and Wang Heliang were shot in many places at the same time, and each rolled to the side. When Xue Zhigao found that a group of enemies was close at hand, he did not hesitate to pull the last grenade and died with several enemies.
Wang Heliang was also stunned by the air wave of the grenade explosion and immediately unconscious.
But this also allowed Wang Heliang to survive the fierce battle - the troops behind saved Wang Heliang.
When Wang Heliang woke up from his coma, it was a full seven days later, and at this time he was pleased to learn that Shangganling had not been lost and was still under the control of our army.
After the war, Xue Zhigao and Wang Heliang became a peculiar combination on the battlefield, and the deeds of fighting the enemy to the end were not only famous as heroic deeds in the Battle of Shangganling, but also widely praised by the people of the whole country.
In order to recognize these two heroic soldiers, the leading organs of the Volunteer Army gave them both honors and special merits, and awarded them the honorary title of "Second Class Combat Heroes".
After Wang Heliang returned to China for treatment, his right eye was fortunate to recover a little bit of vision, and his left eye could only be replaced by a false eyeball. After demobilization, he was placed in local work and died in 1991 at the age of 62.
