When the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was carried out in May 1952, the volunteer troops on the front line carried out a cold gun and cold artillery campaign to kill the enemy on the basis of tunnel fortifications. This movement began with a deputy company commander of the 40th Army named Xu Shizhen, who was observing the enemy situation at the front position of Huangji Mountain on this day, and the scene he saw made him angry, and the British army held a party in front of the position, singing and dancing. What was even more egregious was that a British soldier openly peed on the volunteer position. Xu Shizhen was furious and raised his hand to shoot this guy to reimburse him.
On this day, Xu Shizhen single-handedly brought down 7 British soldiers. Influenced by him, the soldiers with accurate marksmanship raised their guns and used the British, American and South Korean soldiers as live targets. As soon as they appeared in the position, they had to eat a deadly bullet from nowhere, or even a shell that suddenly fell strangely. Later, not only the old soldiers fought, the new soldiers fought, and even the cooks who delivered meals itched.
A cooker of the 68th Army named Pang Zilong watched some newly enlisted recruits kill the enemy in cold shots, and his heart was also itching, and he asked the squad leader for a gun. Not only was he addicted, he became famous, and he became a hero. The 135th Regiment stationed at the 537.7 heights of Shangganling killed more than 300 enemy people in two months, and two companies of the US 7th Division were crippled. The U.S. army couldn't stand it anymore, so they replaced the Han Second Division with a substitute ghost.
In this cold gun and cold artillery campaign, the largest number of individual enemies was Zhang Taofang of the 24th Army, who annihilated 214 enemies in 32 days, creating a personal record for the volunteer army to kill the enemy coldly on the Korean battlefield. But if you talk about efficiency, Zhang Taofang is not as good as Zou Xixiang. Zhang Taofang destroyed 214 enemies and cost a total of 436 bullets, an average of two bullets to destroy one enemy. And Zou Xixiang only used 206 bullets to eliminate 203 enemies, almost without bullets, and he became a life and death judge in the eyes of the US military.
At that time, Zou Xixiang did not use a sniper rifle, nor did he have a scope, so why could he hit so accurately? Zou Xixiang is a native of Guizhou, and although his family has several acres of thin land, the land is barren and the yield per mu is very limited. In order to fill his stomach, Zou Xixiang's father often went into the mountains to hunt in his spare time, and the meat of the prey could be eaten, and the fur could be exchanged for money at the market. At the age of 7, Zou Xixiang began to learn to hunt with his father. Reloading, lurking, aiming, shooting, every link has been painstakingly worked. Over the past few years, Zou Xixiang has practiced a good marksmanship of wearing Yang with a hundred steps.
On the eve of the Battle of Chengdu, Zou Xixiang was captured by the Nationalist army, and during the Battle of Dushan, his unit revolted, and Zou Xixiang became a glorious soldier of the People's Liberation Army. After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he followed the 15th Army into the Korean War and was incorporated into a battalion and a company of the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division. In the fifth battle, Zou Xixiang destroyed many enemies with his amazing marksmanship and was promoted to platoon leader. Later, the 45th Division was ordered to garrison Shangganling, and the development of the cold gun and cold artillery campaign provided Zou Xixiang with an excellent stage to show his marksmanship.
Every day at dawn, he took up the position with a gun on his back, turning east and looking west. As soon as any unfortunate enemy appeared, the custodian was killed by his one shot. The American troops were frightened by Zou Xixiang, hiding in the fortifications all day and not daring to come out, and the stool could only be pulled in an empty can box and then thrown out of the bunker. In order to deal with Zou Xixiang, the US military actually used 6 aircraft and an artillery position to pursue him. But relying on the cover of the tunnel fortifications and his natural alertness, Zou Xixiang was able to turn the danger into a disaster every time.
In the end, Zou Xixiang overtook 203 enemies with 206 bullets, and according to a surrendered soldier of the Han Second Division, when changing defenses with the US 7th Division, a US army soldier instructed him: "If you have nothing to do, just obediently crouch in the fortifications, don't run outside, a cold gun with a Chinese on the opposite side is very powerful, saying that hitting your head will never hit your neck." It can be seen that in the eyes of the US military, Zou Xixiang is undoubtedly their judge of life and death. With his outstanding performance on the battlefield, Zou Xixiang was awarded the honorary title of "Hero of cold guns" and second-class meritorious service by the Headquarters of the Volunteer Army. In 1993, Zou Xixiang died of illness at the age of 71.
