There are many brothers in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and there are few martyrs who can sing about things.
The paper tiger is long, and the hero's liver and gallbladder shine on the rivers and mountains.
In 1951, in the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, a 17-year-old teenager stood alone on the corpse of the enemy army, and he used his wisdom, bravery, and enthusiasm to resist the enemy's charge again and again.
Their company of more than 300 people repelled 9 enemy charges, but only he survived, he alone still held a line of defense, he alone destroyed more than 50 enemy people, until the arrival of reinforcements he fell weakly.
This one-time campaign made him a "lone hero" at the age of 17, and his deeds were praised by the whole army.
He is the mainland's "young hero" - Pan Tianyan.

Since the ancient teenager was born bitterly, he met Bole for thousands of miles.

Aiming to Serve the Country: Resisting US Aggression and Aiding Korea
On October 8, 1950, the Central Military Commission officially issued the Instructions for Resisting US Aggression and Aiding Korea, and Pan Tianyan's unit was one of the first 38Th Army to enter the DPRK, and pan Tianyan was the youngest soldier in the 38th Army, who was only 17 years old and not yet an adult.
The next day, with a grudge, he ran to the regimental commander's office and saluted the regimental commander and said:
RegimentAl commander: I want to go to the battlefield, I know that you are sad that I am young, afraid that I will not be able to withstand the cruelty of war.
——
But I want to say: "If you don't climb a mountain, you don't know the height of the sky, you don't know the depth of the stream, you don't know the thickness of the earth." ”
After listening to him say this, the regimental commander smiled and patted Pan Tianyan's shoulder and said: "Little things, talk to me one set at a time, the battlefield is not as simple as you think, if you are not careful, you will die, and the artillery fire is merciless."
ReportIng Officer: I am not afraid....
In 1950, under the leadership of Commander Peng Dehuai, the 38th Army was the first batch of soldiers of the Volunteer Army to enter the Korean War, and among the soldiers of the 6th Company of the 334th Regiment of the 112th Division of the 38th Army, there was a "thin and small young face - Pan Tianyan." ”
Repelling 9 enemy charges, he was the only one left on the battlefield but "insisted on waiting for the dawn to come." ”
In early 1951, the 112th Division of the 38th Army formed an extremely important defensive line at Dinggai Mountain to resist the enemy's attack.
9 enemy charges:

On February 26, the enemy, with the cooperation of fighters and tanks, launched a second charge at our army's positions, and under the shells of fighters and tanks, our soldiers could only use broken trenches to hide themselves and fight the enemy to the death.
On the morning of February 27, the battle began in a state of white heat, Pan Tianyan was a company of machine gunners, after the machine gun was broken, he picked up the grenade and threw it at the approaching enemy in a fatal frenzy, repelling three waves of enemy attacks in just one morning.

At noon, the enemy launched the 6th charge, Pan Tianyan and the company commander consulted, they ripped the cloth strips from their clothes to tie the grenades together, buried them together, covered them with hats, and ripped the strips of cloth from the clothes as a fuse, and when the enemy swarmed, they pulled the fuse, and after a loud noise, the enemy continued to attack angrily, and in this defense, the company commander was unfortunately killed by shells to protect Pan Tianyan.
Pan Tianyan was tearfully cleaning up his position, in order to continue to resist the enemy, he could not care less about sadness, because he knew that he would soon die, but before he died, he had to kill a few more enemies, he was sorting out the fortifications of the position, checking weapons and ammunition. In the afternoon, after the enemy army was repulsed twice, there were only a few soldiers left in our army.
On 28 February, the ninth charge of the enemy, only one man was still standing when the enemy rushed to the front of the position, and a small but young-looking warrior was still standing. When the enemy army saw the young Pan Tianyan, they rushed upwards with all their might, and they wanted to catch them alive.
He was left alone on the position, and at such a critical moment, Pan Tianyan showed not panic, but panic
Cold face, indifferent gaze, spirit that is not afraid of death, steel consciousness.
When the enemy rushed up, he picked up the grenade prepared on the ground and threw it at the enemy, and after the grenade was thrown, he took the machine gun and fired at the enemy fiercely, the machine gun spewed out a bullet like a tongue of fire, and whenever the enemy rushed up, he knocked the enemy down.

Under such circumstances, he alone repelled the enemy's ninth charge, the only one standing on the battlefield, in this enemy charge, he wounded dozens of enemies and killed more than a dozen enemy troops, until after the large troops came to support, he fell down without a word with a smile on his face.
