Introduction: Kong Qingsan, a native of Jinan, Shandong Province, born in 1926, joined the revolution in April 1948, a member of the Communist Party of China, and the leader of the 92nd Infantry Artillery Company of the 80th Division of the 27th Army of the Volunteer Army. On November 27, 1950, during the second campaign attack on Xinxingli, their squad was ordered to destroy the enemy fire points that the infantry detachment had failed to blast several times. Because of the freezing, unable to build a position, the right hoe of the cannon was suspended in the air and could not shoot, so he resolutely resisted the stationed hoe with his shoulder, and ordered the gunner to open fire, destroying the enemy's fire point, annihilating more than 30 enemy people, and opening the way for the infantry to attack. However, he himself was injured by the impact of the recoil of the artillery, and his abdomen was hit by a piece of shrapnel from the enemy, and he died heroically.
Kong Qingsan was born in 1926 to a poor peasant family in Wangshe Renzhuang, a suburb of Jinan City, Shandong Province.
When Kong Qingsan was 12 years old, Japanese devils occupied his hometown. Since then, the devils have "cleared the countryside" and robbed grain, and the valuable things in the family have been looted. Grandpa was frightened and died soon after; my father used to be a worker in a factory in Jinan, and when the Japanese devils came, the factory collapsed and my father was fired. As soon as my father lost his job, the family became even poorer. The whole family is still hungry and ill-clothed day and night. In the spring of 1942, the traitorous government wanted to build a yamen, level the green wheat fields of Kongqing's three homes, and build kilns to burn bricks. Kong Qingsan's father only said that he would not let the common people live", and he was arrested and imprisoned by Japanese devils and traitors, and was killed the following summer.
The bad news reached the home, and the family seemed to collapse the sky. Kong Qingsan's mother was stunned, staring blankly, opening her mouth, and couldn't cry. Kong Qingsan's heart was like a knife stirring, and he was full of grief. At dusk, he threw himself on his father's grave and cried bitterly for a while, and then swore: "Daddy, don't worry, I will be filial to my mother and raise my younger siblings." I will avenge you!"
Since then, Kong Qingsan has taken up the burden of the family's life with his young shoulders.
In 1945, the Japanese devils surrendered. Kong Qingsan thought that he could now avenge his grievances, even though he knew that the pseudo-baochang had become the Kuomintang's baochang, and the pseudo-gendarmerie policemen had changed the Kuomintang uniforms and still rode on the necks of the poor, who still lived a miserable life and endured the endless hunger and cold.
In 1946, the Kuomintang arrested the soldiers, and Kong Qingsan was captured by the Kuomintang.
In the Kuomintang troops, I don't know how many beatings and scoldings I have, and I always have scars on my body. He wanted to run but was afraid that he wouldn't be able to run out, and if he was caught by them, he would be killed and the family would be involved. So he silently endured the torment.
Until the People's Liberation Army conquered Weixian County, Kong Qingsan finally looked forward to liberation. In April of that year, Kong Qingsan took off his Kuomintang uniform and honorably joined the People's Liberation Army. Since he was an artillery gunner, the Platsu army formed the 92nd Infantry Artillery Company, and he was incorporated into this company.
In September, Kong Qingsan took part in the battle to liberate Jinan. When the troops reached 200 meters away from the east city, they were suddenly attacked by the enemy's fire from the zimu fort. The deputy squad leader was killed, and the squad leader Guo Futian was seriously injured. At this critical juncture, Kong Qingsan shouted: "Comrades, come with me!" Destroy the enemy and avenge the squad leader!" Together with his comrades-in-arms, he quickly pushed the cannon behind a grave not far from the right front and stabilized the gun. When the enemy's fire was diverted to him, three warriors rushed up desperately and attracted the enemy's fire. Under the cover of these three comrades-in-arms, Kong Qingsan finally destroyed the enemy's bunker.
After the liberation of Jinan, the 92nd Infantry Artillery Company withdrew to Xiaohanzhuang, a road ten miles west of Licheng, to rest. It is strange to say that before fighting Jinan, Kong Qingsan often said that he would go home after victory, and now when he arrived at the door, he not only did not mention the matter of going home, but even during the rest time, he was struggling to practice shooting techniques.
One day during the break, the instructor Pan Zongdao saw Kong Qingsan painting something on the side of the road, ran over to see, it turned out that he was calculating the measurement distance mile.
"Kong Qingsan, why don't you rest?" The instructor asked.
"Instructor, I can't rest. I can clearly see how the squad leader, the deputy squad leader, and several other comrades were sacrificed and injured. As soon as I thought of hitting Jinan's three cannons before I threw down the bunker, I felt sad in my heart, I wanted to practice my skills and avenge them!"
The instructor said, "Good! However, practicing technology can not be rushed... Hey, Kong Qingsan, don't you want to go home and have a look? Now the leadership approves you to go home and have a look. ”
Kong Qingsan listened, excitedly not knowing what to say.
The next day Kong Qingsan was preparing to go home, when the instructor stopped him and asked him what he had prepared. Kong Qingsan said, "I'm not prepared, I'll go back to see my mother and come back after staying overnight." The instructor smiled and said, "Well, you didn't think about what your hometown looks like now, not long after the liberation of your hometown?" If the old people say, 'Don't go, kid!' What do you do?"
This made Kong Qingsan ask a stuttered question. The instructor then said very seriously, "Comrade Kong Qingsan, you should make full preparations. Going home is a good thing, but it's also a tough test for you. ”
Kong Qingsan listened to the instructor's words, and his heart tightened suddenly, yes, this is indeed a severe test, I must be able to withstand and withstand it. He stood in front of the instructor with his chest up, almost as if shouting a slogan: The instructor is assured, I Kong Qingsan will never leave the revolutionary ranks!"
Back at home, listening to his mother tell the tragic experience of his family after he left, Kong Qingsan said to the old man: "Mother, if you don't liberate all of China, I can't come back!"
Mom understood the meaning of Kong Qingsan's words. She shook her head, took Kong Qingsan's hand and said, "Child, you didn't hear your mother's meaning clearly!" Mom told you about the hardships in the family, asking you to remember, to fight a good war, to avenge your grandfather and father. My mother has seen that the People's Liberation Army has beaten the landlords and the Kuomintang, and helped us ordinary people turn over, which is the team of our poor! Child, your mother is reluctant to you, but you are on the right path, your mother can't pull your hind legs, and your mother is not that kind of stupid person!"
Listening to his mother's words, Kong Qingsan felt that the Communist Party not only liberated the suffering people's bodies, but also liberated the hearts of the suffering people. He took his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I will definitely remember your words and fight well." ”
After Kong Qingsan returned to the company, he was more active than in the past, working, studying, conducting large-scale military training, and recreational activities; he learned the party's policies from the squad leader as soon as he had time, and asked how to become a communist. Soon, the troops prepared to participate in the Battle of Huaihai. The party branch called on communists to take the lead in training and fighting. Kong Qingsan ran to the instructor and asked, "I want to join the party." ”
"Why did you join the party?" The instructor asked.
"The party saved me, saved my whole family, everything is given to me by the party, I want to follow the party forever." Now that there is going to be a war, you say that the Communists must go ahead, but I am not yet a Party member. ”
Since then, Kong Qingsan has been in the forefront of everything. On the battlefield of Huaihai, once before the artillery of the People's Liberation Army could construct fortifications, the fire from the enemy's bunker group frantically strafed over and blocked the PLA troops. At this moment, Kong Qingsan braved the enemy's dense artillery fire, pushed the cannon into the open field, accurately fired the shells at the enemy's bunker, and quickly destroyed it. In the battle of crossing the river, Kong Qingsan was the squad leader, and in the eight days and eight nights of pursuit, he carried a 120-kilogram cannon barrel, braved the pouring rain, waded through the mud without a neck, and led the whole class to complete the task of annihilating the fleeing enemy. In the training of troops preparing to attack the Zhoushan Islands, it is necessary to exercise the strong attack on warships. A soft ladder was tied to Lianli, and the ladder was hung from the top of the big tree. Ordinary people shook their heads as they walked by and said, "Without a cornice to walk on the wall, don't think about going up to the top." Kong Qingsan carried a 120-pound cannon barrel, the first to climb up, not twice at a time, and finally climbed to the top.
In November 1949, Kong Qingsan gloriously joined the Communist Party of China.
In 1950, when U.S. imperialism launched a war of aggression against Korea and shouted that "the Yalu River is not the border between China and North Korea," Kong Qingsan joined the Chinese Volunteer Army and crossed the Yalu River to Korea.
At this time, the situation was very grim, and the US invading army concentrated a large number of troops and attacked the Yalu River and tumen River on the Sino-DPRK border in northern Korea. In order to crush the enemy's attack, the troops advanced overnight. They climbed high mountains, waded through deep water, and risked a once attack to crush the Americans. Kong Qingsan's unit braved the wind and snow to wade through the mountains and rivers for eight consecutive days and rushed to Tianyi Xiaoli on the eastern front. Twenty or thirty miles away, Xinxingli had been occupied by the enemy's vanguard, the Thirty-second Regiment of the US Seventh Division, a battalion of the Thirty-first Regiment, and a divisional artillery battalion, and the troops summoned cadres above the squad level to a meeting at the regimental headquarters, at which it was decided to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and divide the troops into three roads: one was inserted from the left to the rear of the enemy and cut off his retreat; the other attacked from the west, cutting off his right arm; and the troops who were attacking in the front gave him a fierce tiger to dig his heart, and the enemy who would commit the crime would come to the end of the pot. At the same time, it was decided to transfer two squads from the 92nd Infantry Artillery Company to the Eighth Company as the main attacker. Before the chief's words were finished, more than a dozen squad leaders gathered around! All require the allocation of eight companies. In the end, this glorious task was won by Kong Qingsan.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Kong Qingsan and his comrades-in-arms set out with deputy company commander Zhao Fangjun. They ran forward along the ravine, a steep slope of three or four hundred meters, and climbed up in only four or five minutes. The sweat on his body soaked through the cotton coat, and the cold wind blew, and the sweat on the cotton coat froze, as cold and heavy as a steel plate.
After walking for more than 20 miles, the troops came to the valley of the ground, and from the ditch of a big mountain in front of them, across the river was Xinxingli. Over the hill, I heard the battle ahead getting more and more intense. The sound of automatic gunshots, machine guns, grenades, has been continuing like popping beans. Apparently, the volunteer assault units were blocked and confronted the enemy.
Kong Qingsan had just urged everyone to set up their guns, and the messenger came to convey that the company commander had ordered him to go. Kong Qingsan lay down on the left side of the deputy company commander, and the company commander who was lying on the right pointed to the enemy's fire point and said: "Fifth squad leader, you look ahead, 20 meters away from Xiaolinggang, there is a separate house, and the house has been beaten to pieces. Apparently, the enemy's fortifications were done under the pit, and the firepower was equipped with about a squad of enemy troops. We launched several attacks to no avail, and as soon as the people sent to blast them arrived at the ridge post..." At this point, he slapped his hand on the holster of his gun and said: "Comrade, you can't go around left and right, it's up to you." ”
"Company commander, I will destroy it!"
"Fifth squad leader, do you see that?" There is no terrain that can be exploited, and direct artillery fire cannot be mounted behind the ridge..."
Kong Qingsan did not wait for the deputy company commander to finish speaking and said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter, it is on the top of Xiaoling!"
"Poof! burst! Poof!" The bullet hit the hill again.
"You see," said the deputy company commander, looking at Kong Qingsan, "there is only a distance of 20 feet ahead, and the circle of power of the shell explosion has not yet emerged!" Kong Qingsan replied firmly, "You can rest assured, no matter what, the fifth class promises to destroy it." ”
Yi Huidong reported that the cannon had been set up.
The company commander and deputy company commander issued orders almost simultaneously: "Good! Push the cannon up!"
Kong Qingsan took Li Shengyong and Yi Huidong and pushed the cannon up the ridge, and although the "whizzing" bullets kept whistling on their heads, they were still struggling to build fortifications on the ice. The ridge was full of frozen soil, light and hard, and when it was dropped, only a white mark was left, and the soldiers were tired and sweaty, and even a fist-sized pit had not been dug. Yi will look around to the east, surrounded by one color of frozen soil, what to do? At this time, through the fire in front of us, we could clearly see the enemy fleeing from the ditch, some were rushing to cross the river at the mouth of the ditch, and some had already crossed the river to run to Xinxingli. If we track and pursue, we can take the enemy on the road without effort, take advantage of the enemy's chaos to seize Xinxingli; if the fleeing enemy and the enemy in Xinxing will merge and redeploy, we will have to pay a greater price when we attack again! Time, the most precious thing at present is time, even if it is delayed by one more minute, the consequences are unimaginable.
And this fire point of the enemy is like a small stone stuck on the axle of the water mill, and without removing it, the whole water mill cannot be rotated. What to do? The eyes of the commando comrades were all staring at the artillery squad.
Kong Qingsan suddenly raised his face, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Li Shengyong and Yi Huidong:
"Aim! Fire the cannon now!"
"How does this work?"
"Okay! I have a way. ”
Li Shengyong had just crouched down on the sight when he heard Kong Qingsan shouting, "Okay, get ready to shoot!"
Li Shengyong hurried to take aim. He had just made a good target, and he heard Yi Huidong exclaiming, "Squad leader, you..."
Li Shengyong looked back and saw that Kong Qingsan had inserted a shovel into the rear lift ring behind the right pillar hoe, and the shovel was against the ground, and he held the shovel handle tightly with his hand, pulled it backwards with all his strength, and used his shoulders to press against the pillar hoe. "Quick! fast! Pull the fire! The expression was so calm, the command was so resolute. In order to destroy the enemy, he opened everything up.
Yi Huidong has always been resolute in carrying out orders. This time, however, he hesitated. The recoil of the Ninety-Two Cannon was large, and the marijuana bag full of soil pressed against the pillar hoe, and it shook violently. The squad leader is holding it on his shoulder, how can he eat it? What was even more dangerous was that we fired within the circle of artillery fire, and the squad leader was like that against the pillar hoe, not to mention hidden, and could not even move. Yi Huidong's hand trembled.
Li Shengyong looked at the shoulder of the squad leader, suddenly pounced on the right pillar hoe, and tightened the collar ring with both hands, trying to reduce the burden on the squad leader. At this time, Kong Qingsan shouted again, "Pull! Pull fast!" The fire popped out of the chamber, and with the flames of the explosion, the detached house collapsed. Li Shengyong was thrown aside by the recoil of the right pillar hoe, and suddenly felt the pain in his chest like a crack, and he lost consciousness. Kong Qingsan, on the other hand, was penetrated by a large piece of shrapnel, and the powerful recoil force lifted him to the bottom of the ridge.
The troops stepped over the bombed detached houses, down the hillside, like a waterfall, rushed out of the ditch, and rushed to Xinxingli.
The deputy company commander hugged Kong Qingsan, and the comrades kept shouting:
"Kong Qingsan! Kong Qing three !......"
"Squad leader! !...... the squad leader"
Kong Qingsan did not deserve it, he sacrificed his precious life for the motherland, for the korean people, and for the defense of world peace!
Chinese Memorial Tower for the Martyrs of the People's Volunteer Army
The glorious deeds of Kong Qingsan's heroic sacrifice soon spread throughout the Korean battlefield. In order to commend Kong Qingsan's heroic deeds, on September 24, 1952, the leading organ of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army posthumously awarded him the title of "First Class Combat Hero of the Chinese Volunteer Army", and engraved his name on the "Volunteer Army Martyrs Memorial Tower" on the shore of Chosin Lake in North Korea, so that the hero's name will forever be recorded in the annals of history and will always live in people's hearts.
