In the Korean battlefield in June 1951, more than a month after our army launched the fifth campaign, the US army discovered the secret that the individual supply of the volunteer army could only last for 7 days at most. Li Qiwei immediately changed his playing style, leaving the volunteers passive.

Richway, who had tasted the sweetness, commanded the AMERICAN troops to advance rapidly northward, in a vain attempt to encircle the main force of the volunteer army and completely reverse the unfavorable situation.

However, Li Qiwei, who thought that he was a divine schemer, did not expect that the playing style of the 63 military in Tieyuan had never been used by the ancients and the latter, breaking his wishful thinking.

The 563rd Regiment of the 188th Division of the 63rd Army dispersed more than 1,300 people into small detachments of dozens or even only a dozen people on the road that the U.S. army had to pass, and occupied the key heights and passes.

In the face of the absolute firepower superiority of the US army, the position of the volunteer army is a desperate situation, and there is no possibility of survival. But in this desperate situation, the soldiers of our army did not collapse, but played their tactics to the extreme.

If the US military does not pull out its position, it will not be able to ensure the absolute safety of the mobile unit, so the US military can only gnaw hard bones.

In order to ensure the victory rate, the U.S. army covered the entire position with tens of thousands of shells during the day until they felt safe, and then sent soldiers to attack.

Faced with firepower that could bury their positions, the volunteers did not flinch, but made plans. When the enemy was under heavy artillery fire, we held our positions and conserved ammunition.

During the day, when the U.S. troops approached, the volunteers fought again, and even rushed out of the bunker to fight closely. In the evening, the volunteers drew a small force and took advantage of the night to sneak up on the American troops.

The US troops, who had never seen such a position, were not opponents of the volunteer army at all, especially at night, they did not dare to fight, and could only retreat.

Such tactics firmly held the American troops back, but they also inflicted heavy casualties on the Volunteers.

On June 5, Ma Zhaomin, the leader of the 563rd Regiment, felt something different. It was already daylight, there was no sound of artillery fire, and no American troops touched it.

At this moment, the phone of the commander of the 4th Company called: "Old Horse, I have received a report here that the American devils did not come up again today after being beaten back by the 8th Company and the 9th Company yesterday." Instead, his mother touched the 724 highlands. By this time, you may have drilled behind the 8th company. ”

Highland 724 was on the east side of Ma Zhaomin's troops, and the terrain was higher, so that the deployment of the entire position could be seen clearly. Regimental Commander Ma Zhaomin quickly ordered the 8th Company to retreat.

At this moment, Ma Zhaomin found that the east side of the 8th Company was 1 Company and 2 Platoons, and if the 8th Company withdrew, 1 Company and 2 Platoons would definitely be surrounded by the enemy.

However, if the 1st Company and 2 platoons were allowed to withdraw first, the 8th Company would lose its fire cover on the east and rear flanks, and there was also a danger of being annihilated.

How ma Zhaomin hoped at this time that even if he had a squad of troops in his hand, he could go to meet it, and 1 company and 2 platoons could also be evacuated.

But our army's attrition has reached its limit. Not to mention the soldiers who held the position, almost all of them had not eaten for 3 days.

There was no reserve that could be mobilized, and Ma Zhaomin angrily picked up the phone and called directly to the division headquarters: "Division commander, we have no one at all." The casualties were so great that I was ready to organize the cadres of the regimental organs to form a platoon, and I would go to the front line as a platoon leader..."

Before he could finish speaking, Division Commander Zhang Huiying scolded with his head covered: "Fool around! Old horse, if you die, who is responsible for the loss of the position! ”

The political commissar next to him quickly grabbed the phone and persuaded him: "Old horse, don't get too excited." You are the regimental commander, you have to command, you can't go to the front. ”

Ma Zhaomin held the phone in his hand, but the tears could not stop flowing: "Political Commissar, I have feelings for this regiment. I'm not going to mess around. ”

Putting down the phone, Ma Zhaomin calmly ordered: "The 8th Company continues to break through, and the 1st Company and 2nd Platoon hold their positions." ”

But his heart hurt as if he had been stripped of his flesh, and he had been a company commander before.

The only 12 men in the 1st row of 1 in 2 platoons knew what it meant when they received the order, but none of them flinched.

They desperately held the enemy back and bought more time for their comrades who had moved. They were so tenacious that the U.S. army could not conquer them for a long time, so they drove the tanks directly up the hill and aimed at the positions.

By the end of the fight, it was late at night, and only 8 soldiers were left in the 1 company and 2 platoons. I don't know how many enemy attacks were repelled until all the bullets ran out and only a few grenades remained.

Unwilling to be prisoners, they finally retreated to the cliff under the leadership of the squad leader and shouted: "Victory belongs to us!" Long live the motherland! Finally, he jumped and disappeared behind the cliff.

Ma Zhaomin, the regimental commander, was always paying attention to the battle situation, and the intermittent sound of gunfire in his ears was proof that his comrades were still alive.

But now that the gunfire had stopped, the last hope had been dashed, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

When the commissar learned of this heroic deed, he was so excited that he burst into tears and immediately ordered that someone be sent to find our soldiers.

Fortunately, three of the 8 soldiers who jumped off the cliff, although seriously wounded, stubbornly crawled in the direction of our army, and were finally found by the search team. They are: Zhai Guoling, Hou Tianyou, and Luo Juncheng.

The other five soldiers who died were: Li Bingqun, He Chengyu, Cui Xuecai, Zhang Qiuchang, and Meng Qingxiu.

These eight heroes were later awarded the honorary title of "Eight Warriors of the Volunteer Army".

Let's keep their names firmly in mind. It was their flesh and blood that forged a wall of iron and held back the ferocious enemy. It is their bravery and fearlessness that have protected today's ten thousand homes! #人物 #
