What are some funny but real things in history?

On the Korean battlefield, there is a magical weapon, it does not fire bullets, but it is more powerful than the submachine gun, as long as it appears, it can scare the US military, which can be called the most feared weapon of the US army, which is the charge of the volunteers.

In the book "The Coldest Winter" written by the Americans, the charge of the volunteers is described as follows: "It echoes in the minds of American soldiers like a ghost, so that as soon as everyone hears its voice, they will be noisy, and they always feel that in the depths of the snow and in the dense forests, countless volunteer soldiers will be killed." ”

Even the commander of the allied forces, Li Qiwei, recalled the Korean War, saying: "This is a bronze instrument, simple and rough in appearance, but it can produce a unique sound, as long as it sounds, the Chinese army is like magic, all of them rush to the coalition army, every time this time, the coalition army will always be beaten like a tide of rout." “

It was precisely in the sound of its rousing horn that our volunteers defeated the modernly equipped US troops and won victory on the Korean battlefield.

Speaking of the charge horn, it is a unique culture of our army, from the Red Army period, to the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and then to the People's Liberation Army and the Volunteer Army, as long as the charge horn sounds, our soldiers will rush to the enemy position with indomitable progress, and under the sound of the horn, the enemy on the opposite side will be defeated in a formation.

The "miraculous feat" of the Charger

On the Korean battlefield, a charge once made a "miraculous feat", and even if you look at this history today, it still makes people's hearts surge.

On December 31, 1950, the 347th Regiment of the 116th Division of the 39th Army of the Volunteer Army was ordered to block the retreat of the "coalition army" in Pugu-ri, which was very important for the coalition army.

This British unit is the ace force in the history of the British army, known as "the most capable of fighting" and "undefeated", not only that, but they are also equipped with heavy tanks and artillery, and with the cooperation and support of allied aircraft, they launched a fierce attack on our volunteers.

Under the situation of huge disparity in weapons and equipment, after a night of fierce fighting, only 13 soldiers remained in our volunteer army, and all cadres and commanders died heroically. The 13 fighters were held in the most important highland positions.

In order to continue the battle, among the 13 soldiers, the commander Zheng Qiyi served as the acting commander, and under his organization, the 13 warriors repelled 6 attacks by the British army until they ran out of ammunition and food, leaving only 7 disabled warriors to continue fighting.

At this time, the bullets were gone, the grenades were gone, and they had to risk their lives to search for guns and ammunition in the pile of enemy corpses.

The British realized that the volunteer soldiers were already at the end of their crossbows, so they pressed up, and the seven soldiers looked at each other, raised their bayonets, and prepared for a final life-and-death struggle.

At this time, Zheng Qi, the trumpeter, took out the military horn that had accompanied him for many years, and blew a loud charge horn with all his strength.

“嘀嘀嘀哒嘀----嘀嘀嘀哒嘀--”

The trumpet that broke through the sky resounded through the valley, and several soldiers jumped out of the trenches with the sound of the trumpet, and rushed resolutely towards the British army.

Here, the swarming British troops, hearing the terrifying trumpet of the charge, actually collapsed on the spot as if they had heard a spell urging for their lives, and began to run with all their troops, even the tanks at the foot of the mountain turned around and fled.

Relying on this charge, the British army of the entire regiment was scattered, and Zheng Qi is legendary.

After the war, Zheng Qi was awarded the honorary titles of "Special Meritorious Hero" and "Second-class Hero" by the Volunteer Army Headquarters, and the military horn he used was also collected in the Memorial Hall to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and exhibited as a permanent memorial.

After returning to China, Zheng Qi was invited to participate in the National Day ceremony, and Chairman Mao personally toasted Zheng Qi and praised Zheng Qi's fearless spirit.

When recalling this past, Zheng Qi said excitedly that he sounded the trumpet with the idea of blowing the trumpet for the last time in his life.

According to the different uses, the People's Liberation Army's charge horn is also different, commonly used is mainly divided into work and rest, combat and liaison, the horn of different purposes, but also makes the post of the bugler become very important, therefore, in the selection of the bugle officer, it is more strict, and it must go through special training to be competent.

How many kinds of military horns can be mastered to become a qualified trumpeter? Luo Guangmao, a veteran soldier of the Red Army who served as a trumpeter by the side of President Zhu De, has mastered as many as 340 kinds of horn songs that are used to express different meanings.

In that era, a qualified bugle officer and trumpet score, it is very precious, the two in the battlefield to play a role, no less than the modern radio station on the back of the signal soldiers, in the history of our army, the trumpet is an inherent establishment, from the lowest level of the trumpeter, to the intermediate trumpeter, to the senior trumpeter, all have an important position in the army.

On the battlefield, the commander is often accompanied by the head of the army, and at the same time has an intuitive and thorough understanding of the battlefield situation, so the commander can grow rapidly.

General Nie Fengzhi, who was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955, was once a commander of the Red 4th Front Army.

As soon as the trumpet sounds, even the cooking squad has to be given to me, and if I can't hear the trumpet of the end, I will continue to fight, even if there is only one person left!

As long as the horn sounds, no matter where they are, what the situation is, whether they are seriously injured or not, the soldiers will go forward bravely.

It is precisely this spirit that has frightened the US military and coalition forces, which are much superior in weaponry and equipment than our army, and it is also the heroic and tenacious fighting will of the Chinese soldiers that has allowed us to march forward bravely on the battlefield.
