“...... After arriving in North Korea, we must fight a war with all our might
Not afraid of death
For the sake of all the suffering
It's like our family living a good life
What if I'm dead?"
When Qiu Shaoyun was about to go to the Korean battlefield
I once wrote such a thing in a letter to my family
This letter was also left by Qiu Shaoyun at home
The only family letter
69 years ago today
Qiu Shaoyun is the target of not exposing
Endured the immense pain of burning
Heroic sacrifice
Tonight's night reading will take you back to reminisce
The most stoic lurking hero - Qiu Shaoyun
March 1951
the 15th Army of the Chinese Volunteer Army marched to the Korean Battlefield
In the procession
There was a young warrior who was not very tall
His name was Qiu Shaoyun
They will face the worst battle on the Korean battlefield
In 1952
Negotiations on the Korean armistice have begun
But the battle never stopped
The two sides have been fighting and talking
From late September to late October
The volunteer front lines launched a tactical counterattack in the autumn
Qiu Shaoyun waited
He was the real first battle on the Korean battlefield
The 44th Division of the 15th Army faced The 391st Heights
And where Qiu Shaoyun is
The 87th Regiment of the 29th Division was assigned to the 44th Division
Served as the main offensive mission against The 391 Heights
Highland 391 is located in the Pingkang Valley west of the Five Holy Mountains
Side of the 15th Army position
It protrudes in isolation in open areas
Like a poisonous tooth wedged between the 38th and 15th Armies
It can be called a major problem for the volunteer army
After survey
A wide field is overgrown with weeds
One man tall in the wild grass
There is no human figure in sight from tens of meters away
If you lie down and stay motionless
The enemy will not be aware of it at all
So the division commander decided
Send a commando team the night before
Lurking only a few tens of meters away from the enemy position
The next day, when the general offensive was launched, it was suddenly killed
Catch the enemy off guard
It also shortens the distance of attack
That means
The attacking troops must be under the eyes of the enemy
Only a few tens of meters away
Lurk for at least a day and a night
They want to treat themselves as stones
Can't move
Once exposed, it is a disaster
The backbone of the battle of the Ninth Company
Qiu Shaoyun, the top soldier of the demolition team in the company
But he almost missed the battle
When refining missions before war
Qiu Shaoyun found
I am not in the first echelon of lurking
So he approached the company commander and asked to join the lurking
But the company commander told him
Considering that this task is too dangerous
The regiment decided to allow only the party and league members to participate
Others do the reserves
He obeys orders
But ideologically it is not accepted
This stubborn and silent Qiu Shaoyun
I actually cried my nose
Qiu Shaoyun, 26 years old
Born in 1926
Qiujiagou, Shaoyun Town, Tongliang County
A poor family
Parents died early
Left the brothers to live a difficult life
Adulthood
Qiu Shaoyun, who had suffered a lot
He was also arrested by the Kuomintang
Chengdu was liberated in 1949
Qiu Shaoyun resolutely joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army
Qiu Guangbing Is the nephew of Qiu Shaoyun
My uncle Qiu Shaoyun was beaten and scolded in the Kuomintang troops.
The day before the war
Zhang Xianyang, commander of the 29th Division
After learning about Qiu Shaoyun's situation
When he learned that Qiu Shaoyun was crying because he was eager to fight
So he looked at this warrior who had suffered a lot
The gas can not be vented
The division commander led him to the Ninth Company Headquarters
He was specially approved to participate in this lurking
October 11, 1952
When night falls
The mission to attack Hill 391 began
The warriors began
Covert lurking for up to a dozen hours
Qiu Shaoyun was at the forefront of the entire offensive formation
Less than 60 meters from the front of the enemy position
At night, the dew wet the clothes
During the day, the scorching sun dried up the sweat
The warriors endured hunger and thirst
Wait patiently for the moment of attack
Until 10am the next day
The whole incubation program went extremely smoothly
That's when it happened
Several enemies suddenly came out of the fortifications
They walked straight to the foot of the mountain
If they keep going
Lurking warriors are bound to be spotted
The whole plan will fall short
It's at this moment of the first blow
A cannon was aiming at them in the rear
"Boom"
A shell exploded next to them
Unfortunately
Qiu Shaoyun's body
Ignited by these smoke screen bombs
Several comrades-in-arms lurked around him
Witness it all with your own eyes
Suo Decheng Qiu Shaoyun's class leader
A shell came and fell in front of me, exploded, and my face exploded, the stones, the stones that hit the back. A smoke screen shell fell at once, burning several people and giving Qiu Shaoyun a light.
Qiu Shaoyun lying on the left side of Suo Decheng
The whole body was splashed with Mars
The flames soon burned the thatch on his back
Flames roared
Tongues of fire are spreading
Qiu Shaoyunhun was full of flames
The flames take advantage of the wind
Soon a raging fire formed
The whole surrounded him
The flames grew stronger
His hair was also burning
The body was also burning
His flesh was burned to the point of "snapping"
But he endured the severe pain and still lay motionless
Both hands plunged deep into the dirt
Guo Anmin Qiu Shaoyun is a cultural teacher in the company
I only saw that Qiu Shaoyun didn't say a word and didn't move. Two hands went into the dirt, and that was it.
The fire burned for more than thirty minutes
Qiu Shaoyun did not move
The comrades next to him did not move
Watched his comrades burn alive
It's also a kind of suffering for them
The comrades-in-arms were the same as Qiu Shaoyun
Soberly enduring the pain
Also soberly aware
Any firefighting action
will expose the entire lurking force
Inflicted more casualties
The fire was gradually extinguished
The position remains quiet
It was as if nothing had happened
However, Qiu Shaoyun endured the burning of the fire
Unimaginable pain
In the evening of the same day, the general offensive began
The warriors who had been lurking for a day and a night jumped up
They shouted "Avenge Qiu Shaoyun"
Destroyed razer rushed towards The 391 Heights
Soon the enemy was completely annihilated
After the battle
Until the early morning of the 17th
The comrades were on a burned-out slope
Qiu Shaoyun's body was found
I saw the charred body curled up
The military uniforms and rubber shoes on his body were all burned
The submachine gun was pressed down on him
The only one that wasn't scorched
It's the hands that are stuck in the dirt
February 1953
The troops will be the remains of Qiu Shaoyun
Transported back to the motherland from Pyeongkang, North Korea
He was buried in the northern suburbs of Shenyang
"Cemetery of the Martyrs of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea"
The Volunteer Army Command awarded Qiu Shaoyun special merit
At the same time, he was posthumously awarded the title of "First Class Combat Hero"
May 18, 1953
People's Daily published a lengthy newsletter
The Great Warrior Qiu Shaoyun
Qiu Shaoyun made a personal sacrifice
The lives of hundreds of people were protected
At the same time, it also guaranteed the final victory of the battle
His heroic deeds spread throughout the country
The whole army of the whole country has set off an upsurge of studying Qiu Shaoyun's spirit
afterward
When Qiu Shaoyun's unit left North Korea
Twenty large characters are carved on the cliffs of Highland 391:
For the whole, for the victory
And the great warrior of self-sacrifice
Comrade Qiu Shaoyun is immortal!
