In 1953, when Jiang Qingyun returned to his hometown, his mother cried with joy and tears: "My mother thought you had sacrificed, built a grave at the head of the village, and went to burn some paper money every New Year's Festival." ”

Only then did Jiang Qingyun know that he had returned alone from his hometown who had gone to join the army six years ago. A total of 12 people built 12 graves at the head of the village, and only their clothes were inside.

Sadly, the others never came back and didn't even know where they were buried.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the reporters, who had come because of him, and he had only participated in the bombing of the Watergate Bridge, but he had become a hero.

Jiang Qingyun said sadly, "At least I am still alive, but they have become lone ghosts." Compared with my fellow villagers, what I did is not worth mentioning at all, and who remembers their deeds? ”

After saying that, Jiang Qingyun's nose was sour, and his thoughts still unconsciously returned to the deadly struggle at the Watergate Bridge, perhaps only in this way could he more deeply appreciate the sacrifices made by his fellow villagers on the battlefield.

On the afternoon of December 6, 1950, at Chosin Lake, Jiang Qingyun, who was a company commander, received the order to blow up the bridge for the third time, at this time, he only had 2 platoons left. In the previous two bombing bridges, the comrades-in-arms just blew up, the US army repaired, so it seems that only blowing up the bridge deck can not stop the enemy, you must blow up the piers together.

However, if you want to blow up the Watergate Bridge again, how easy is it?

As the only way for American troops to escape, the Watergate Bridge is well aware of the importance of this bridge. In order to prevent the Watergate Bridge from being bombed again, the defense was deliberately strengthened, and the strength of 1 battalion and 1 tank platoon was arranged to closely monitor the every move of the volunteer army.

But the volunteers were not vegetarians, and even without the cover of aircraft cannons, they resolutely carried several kilograms of bombs and embarked on the death path of blowing up the bridge.

Jiang Qingyun formed two platoons into a death squad, and then put the cotton clothes in reverse, exposing the white to the outside, in line with the white snow, forming a protective color, and then slowly climbing to the Watergate Bridge by nightlight.

Just when the fighters broke through the layers of blockades and were about to arrive at the Watergate Bridge, they were suddenly attacked by American artillery fire, and 7 of them were shot on the spot, and the situation was extremely critical.

While Jiang Qingyun was desperately sprinting, he commanded his comrades-in-arms to fight back without fear.

The warriors rushed up the Watergate Bridge like a tiger, and in their hearts, with steely faith:

Even if you die in battle, you will die on the bridge;

Even if you die in battle, you will blow up the Watergate Bridge;

Even if you die in battle, you have to complete the task.

Just at this moment, a bullet with no long eyes hit Jiang Qingyun's left arm, and he shook backwards, enduring severe pain and standing up straight. But when he stepped forward again, another bullet hit him in the right arm. Blood gushed out from the wound, and Jiang Qingyun wanted to continue to move forward, but his legs and feet were soft and soft, and he could only watch his comrades continue to charge, while he "pounced" and fell down.

Fortunately, the soldiers did not live up to the expectations of the company commander, did not live up to the expectations of the Seventh Steel Company, did not live up to the expectations of the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army, and resolutely blew up the Watergate Bridge. Suddenly, the sound of the explosion was deafening, and the flames after the explosion soared into the sky, illuminating the entire valley.

The entire pier was uprooted, and Smith, commander of the US 1st Marine Division who had just arrived at the Watergate Bridge, saw this situation and was full of despair in his heart, and even reported his pessimistic mood to MacArthur, admitting that he had no way out, and even prepared to be completely annihilated, and the morale of the entire American army also fell to the freezing point.

In this battle, Jiang Qingyun was unconscious due to excessive blood loss, fortunately, when the health rescue captain came to look for the surviving soldiers, he found that Jiang Qingyun still had a trace of temperature, and after a simple bandage on the scene, he was transported down to the battlefield with a rope and a drag, and he was pulled back from the "ghost gate".

As Jiang Qingyun's mother said, she thought he had died.

On the battlefield, Jiang Qingyun survived the nine deaths, and even he did not think of it. However, the rest of his comrades remained on the battlefield forever, which made him heartbroken.

Whenever he touched the 8-centimeter-long wound on his back, he couldn't help but burst into tears in two lines, which was extremely uncomfortable.

This is a group of brave volunteer soldiers, but also a group of daredevils who are not afraid of guns and bullets.

With their own flesh, they blew open the Watergate Bridge and blocked the retreat of the American army to escape.

How tragic!

Hats off to the heroes!
