In the autumn of 1951, the United Nations Army, under the command of Ridgway, launched a large-scale offensive against our army. The 139th Division of the 47th Army was ordered to defend the Ekitani River on the east bank of the Imjin River against the 1st Cavalry Division. The First Cavalry Division is a recognized ace in the U.S. Army, and it performed very well in World War I and World War II, and is known as the "Founding Father Division". However, this Ace Unit of the US Army was brutally abused by a small soldier named Li Daixiang of the 139th Division during this autumn offensive, who alone annihilated 150 enemy troops, writing a legend in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Li Daixiang is a native of Xiangxi, Hunan, born in 1934, due to his family's poverty, he suffered a lot when he was a child. In December 1950, at the age of 16, Li Daixiang signed up for the People's Liberation Army and became a soldier in the 416th Regiment of the 139th Division of the 47th Army. Four months later, Li Daixiang crossed the Yalu River with his troops and entered the Korean War. At the beginning of the entry into the Dynasty, the 47th Army was used as a reserve by Shiji and ordered to defend the west coast, and Li Daixiang followed the troops to participate in the task of repairing the Shun'an airfield.
After Ridgway's summer offensive was crushed, Shiji moved the 47th Army to the front line in response to a larger enemy offensive. Sure enough, the enemy, unwilling to accept defeat, soon launched the autumn offensive. Early in the morning of October 5, Yan Deming, commander of the 139th Division, and Yan Fusheng, political commissar, summoned Zhang Yongfu, commander of the 5th Company of the 416th Regiment, to the division command post, personally explained the task to him, and ordered him to lead the 5th Company to hold yandan mountain, the gateway to the Yigu River.
At dawn on October 6, the Battle of Yan Da Shan officially began. The 1st Cavalry Division concentrated the strength of two battalions and launched a fierce attack on the positions of the 5th Company. Li Daixiang's second platoon and 5th squad were responsible for defending the forward position of Yan Da Shan, and when the enemy rushed to the front of the 5th squad position more than 50 meters, the squad leader Wu Lianyi roared angrily, "Fight! ”。 Rifles, machine guns, and submachine guns in the hands of the warriors opened fire on the enemy, and grenades exploded in the enemy group, and the enemy fell down in an instant, and the remaining enemies immediately crawled back with a rolling belt.
Under the command of Wu Lianyi, the 5 squads repelled a total of 6 enemy attacks on the same day. At dawn the next day, the enemy launched a new offensive, and the 5th Company, under the leadership of company commander Zhang Yongfu, fought hard for a day to repulse the enemy. After two consecutive days of failed attacks, the enemy became embarrassed and angry, and on the 8th, the strength of the attack was increased to two regiments, and a large number of aircraft and tanks were dispatched to indiscriminately bombard the positions of the 5 companies. By the afternoon of the battle, there were only more than 60 people left in the 5th Company, and only Li Daixiang was left alone in the second platoon position.
We must not allow the enemy to occupy the position, and Li Daixiang secretly made up his mind. He concentrated grenades, grenades, and explosive canisters from his fallen comrades and threw them at the enemy in changing positions. Charging enemies will smash grenades with grenades, and when encountering hordes of enemies, grenades and explosive canisters will be thrown. These throwing weapons exerted great power in the hands of Li Daixiang, and the enemy was blown up on horseback, and it was impossible to figure out how many people were still in the position of the second platoon.
At the same time that Li Daixiang and the enemy were fighting fiercely, the main position of the 5th Company was also in danger, and at the critical moment, company commander Zhang Yongfu personally led the company's signallers, trumpeters, barbers, and hygienists to launch a counterattack against the enemy, and smashed the enemy down with grenades. The fierce battle lasted until the evening, and only about 10 soldiers were left in the 5 companies, and the weapons and ammunition were almost exhausted. Just when everyone was determined to coexist and die with the position, the brother troops who had changed their defenses came up.
In the bloody battle of Yan Da Shan Mountain, the 5 companies repelled a total of 29 group charges of the enemy, killed and wounded more than 1,200 enemy troops, and won the collective special merit. Among them, Li Daixiang, a young soldier who had just been in the army for a year, was rated as a first-class merit. His certificate of meritorious service reads: "During the three days and four nights of the bloody battle at Yan Da Shan Mountain, Li Daixiang participated in the commando team to rescue a platoon of comrades-in-arms to break through and rescue Wu Lianyi, a seriously wounded man, from the enemy group; in the battle on October 8, he sacrificed his life and forgot his death, was brave and tenacious, and could not be wounded in the line of fire, and the lone army held the frontal position of the second platoon for more than 5 hours, annihilating more than 150 enemy people. ”
The First Cavalry Division, a recognized trump card of the US army, was annihilated by Li Daixiang in the First World War, and his heroic feats also alarmed Mr. Peng. After the war, Mr. Peng personally received Li Daixiang. When he learned that the fighting hero who was mad at the U.S. military was only 17 years old, he even praised him for his greatness. After the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Li Daixiang returned to China to work in the Chinese Military Museum, and in 1990 he retired with the treatment of a division.
