In the spring of 1985, Gong Yanjin went with the troops to the front line of Laoshan Mountain. Because of his outstanding ability, he won 7 gold medals in military subject competitions and was incorporated into the commando team.
On December 2, 1985, the Laoshan front was shrouded in rain and fog, and the battle to capture the 968 heights began, and Gong Yanjin led the commando team to cross the enemy's life-and-death line and minefield, and first launched a charge against the 604 position next to the 968 highland.
There was no vegetation in the protruding parts of the 604 position, the enemy was well defended, and there were many dark fire points. If it can't be taken down, it will affect the attack on 968 Heights. Faced with this situation, Gong Yanjin had no fear, and in just 17 minutes, he unexpectedly occupied the 604 position.
When he was about to expand the results, he found that there was a dark fire point on the right front side of the 604 position, so he ordered two fighters to take cover, quietly approached and blew it up with grenades.
Then, Gong Yanjin found two Vietnamese soldiers crawling out of the cave entrance. He raised his gun and killed 2 people, but unfortunately fell down after being hit in the head by a piece of shrapnel, and blood flowed to the ground.
When the Vietnamese army was preparing to capture him, he resolutely and resolutely fired the glory bomb...
After the war, the division party committee posthumously recorded the first class merit for Gong Yanjin.
Gong Yanjin has a fiancée in his hometown who has been in love for 6 years.
Before the battle began, Gong Yanjin wrote to her: "Zhao Feng, you and I have been in love for six years, and we have a good relationship with each other. You are gentle, generous, industrious, capable, filial to the elderly, and my ideal partner. After I joined the army, you bravely took up the burden of supporting the family and often wrote to encourage me...
But war is cruel and merciless, and there will be bloodshed and sacrifice to fight, but for the happiness of the majority of the people, even glory is willing, at all costs. If I die in this battle, you should not be too sad, too sad, pay attention to the body, live tenaciously, be a strong person in life, and comfort the two old people...
Although we can't see each other now, it's worth it for thousands of people our age to love each other. If I am unfortunate, I have a small request, that is, in front of my tomb, gently sing a small tune of my hometown "My Hometown Yimeng Mountain" for me, and I will be satisfied under the Nine Springs... Love your derivation".
