It is impossible for the body to block the gun's eye, so it can be seen that Huang Jiguang's story is fake, and perhaps this person does not exist at all? In the face of the college students' doubts, the hygienist tearfully said the details of the year, is it true or false that "sacrificing one's body to block the eye"?
The Battle of Shangganling, which took place on the Korean battlefield in 1952, was an extremely tragic conflict. In this battle, the Chinese People's Volunteers and the United Nations Army engaged in a long standoff.
The background of the era is the international conflict during the Cold War, and the social situation is tense, and it is in this context that Huang Jiguang, a volunteer soldier, has become a legend. Born into an ordinary peasant family, Huang Jiguang joined the Chinese People's Volunteer Army as a young man and was sent to the Korean battlefield.
On the eve of the Battle of Shangganling, the film team of the division at that time came to Huang Jiguang's company to offer condolences and broadcast the Soviet film "Ordinary Soldier". The film tells the heroic deeds of the Red Army soldier Matlosov, who blocked the enemy's muzzle with his body for the sake of victory in the battle. Huang Jiguang and his comrade-in-arms Li Jide were deeply moved after watching it, and Huang Jiguang was even more inspired by the spirit of Matlosov and expressed his determination to follow suit when necessary.
With the outbreak of the Battle of Shangganling, Huang Jiguang's Sixth Company was responsible for conquering key positions on the 597.9 heights. The enemy's firepower was strong, and after the Volunteer Army captured the No. 5 position, many soldiers had died.
At the last moment of the battle, Huang Jiguang and two communication soldiers went to carry out a demolition mission and blow up the enemy's pillbox. During the operation, two of Huang Jiguang's comrades-in-arms fell one after another due to the enemy's dense firepower. At this time, Huang Jiguang decided to implement the determination he had previously stated.
In that cold morning, the sporadic frost had not yet completely thawed, and Huang Jiguang's company had already set up an offensive posture, preparing to make a decisive breakthrough to the last few enemy pillboxes on the 597.9 heights.
This battle was of crucial significance to the entire Shangganling Campaign. If they succeed in capturing these pillboxes, the Volunteer Army will gain a significant strategic advantage, which means not only being able to control the entire high ground, but also exerting enormous psychological and physical pressure on the enemy's rear.
The fighting that day was extremely fierce. After many days of fighting, the enemy was obviously aware of this, so a dense network of fire was arranged around Pillbox 0 in the hope of blocking the attack of the volunteers.
Machine gun fire sprung up like mushrooms, bullets carved out death trajectories in the air, and even a small rock could become a makeshift shelter for fighters.
Huang Jiguang is on the front line, there is no fear in his eyes, only firmness. He was exhausted after a series of battles, but his heart was unusually strong.
He remembered that in the Soviet film "Ordinary Soldier", which he had watched a few days earlier, the protagonist blocked the muzzle of the enemy with his own body, creating an opportunity for his comrades to move forward. This scene played out repeatedly in his mind and became a force in his heart.
At the critical moment of the battle, Huang Jiguang and his two comrades-in-arms of the communication corps, Xiao Dengliang and Wu Sanyang, tried to advance to the No. 0 pillbox under the cover of dense firepower.
The three of them advanced under artillery fire, approaching the pillbox step by step. First, Wu Sanyang was shot and fell, and then Xiao Dengliang was also seriously injured, leaving only Huang Jiguang alone to fight.
At this life-and-death moment, Huang Jiguang made an almost instinctive decision. He remembered a scene in the movie, and also thought of the previous conversation with his comrade-in-arms Li Jide, who once said that he was willing to exchange his life for the safety of his comrades-in-arms if needed. This is not only a combat strategy, but also a manifestation of a profound spirit of sacrifice.
Huang Jiguang glanced around and found the best time to attack. He took a deep breath of cold air and suppressed all his fears and hesitations in his heart.
Then, like a long-distance runner, he sprinted towards the muzzle of the machine gun that exuded a threat of death. His movements were swift and resolute, and almost instantly, he covered the bullet hole with his body.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Huang Jiguang's body was in close contact with the muzzle of the machine gun, forming a perfect blind spot in front of the muzzle.
Although his action did not directly prevent the bullets from being fired, it did block the enemy's line of sight and firing line, and successfully created a breakthrough for the subsequent attack.
This fearless sacrifice shook everyone. Huang Jiguang's comrades-in-arms were deeply moved and encouraged when they saw his actions, and their will to fight was greatly stimulated.
Under the cover of Huang Jiguang, they finally found an opportunity to charge, quickly organized, and captured the last No. 0 bunker with a thunderous momentum.
After the battle, Huang Jiguang's sacrifice became a legend for the entire company and even the entire division. His story quickly spread and became a spiritual force that inspired countless soldiers. With his life, he proved the extraordinary courage and selfless dedication of an ordinary soldier.
In the end, when Huang Jiguang's body was carried down from the battlefield by his comrades, they found that although his body was full of bullet holes, he had an expression on his face that could almost be called calm. His hands were still stretched out in front of him, as if at the last moment, he was still guiding his comrades. Huang Jiguang's story will forever be remembered in the hearts of those soldiers who experienced the baptism of war.
