Stories about heroes

Qiu (193 1 ~ 1952), a first-class hero in Chinese people's Volunteer Army, was born in a poor peasant family in Guanjian Township, Tongliang County, Sichuan Province (1997 post-Chongqing). 15 years old, was arrested by the Kuomintang as a soldier, 1949+02 joined the China People's Liberation Army, 195 1 year went to fight in North Korea.

1952 10 In order to attack the US and South Korean troops in Shangganling, Qiu, a soldier from the 9th Company of the 87th Regiment, 29th Division of the Chinese people's Volunteer Army Army 15 Army, was selected as a latent unit to undertake the task of clearing obstacles and blasting after the attack. 12 in the morning, enemy planes strafed their latent area at low altitude and threw incendiary bombs. The burning liquid burned him all over. In order not to expose the latent target, Qiu let the fire scorch his body. His hands sank deep into the soil and his body clung to the ground until he died heroically.

After the war, the Korean people's literary delegation to the DPRK presented a banner to the special hero Qiu Martyr, which read: "Qiu Yong, the great warrior of South Chinese people's Volunteer Army, is immortal." The banner dedicated by all the officers and men of the Volunteers 15 troops to the families of Qiu Martyrs reads: "Glory to the people of the motherland".

The banner presented by the Sichuan Military Region Command and the Political Department to the families of Qiu Martyrs reads: "Soldiers of the great people are immortal feats of heroes". In recognition of Qiu's lofty collectivism spirit and tenacious revolutionary will, he was recognized as the official party member by a committee of China * * * Party Volunteers, and was awarded the first-class merit by the leading organs of Chinese people's Volunteer Army on1952165438+10/6, and was posthumously awarded "Chinese people's Volunteer Army" on June 1953.

Qiu monument

[Edit this paragraph] Comrade Qiu tells the details that have been missed by history.

In all the articles about the protagonist Qiu, there is no mention of the vice squad leader of Class 3 and the platoon leader Zeng of/kloc-0 where Qiu is located, and he is precisely Qiu's closest person. Qiu's brother Qiu visited his brother's company before his death.

In the early spring, the consultant of the Martyrs Cemetery in Changgang Road, Nanning was interviewed by reporters and talked about the years of fighting side by side with Qiu. As a platoon leader of Qiu, his memory is somewhat different from that described by mass media.

1September, 946, the newly married man was arrested by the Kuomintang army. After that, he left his hometown and went north and south. 12 in April, 949, when fighting with the PLA, Zeng Ji, who was already the platoon leader of the Kuomintang army, led12 soldiers to surrender and became PLA soldiers from then on. With the victory of the People's Liberation Army, the former 10 Army went south and west out of Sichuan. After the liberation of Sichuan, the troops stationed in Jianyang County (now jianyang city) (29th Division, 87th Regiment, No.9 Company, No.3 Battalion) were changed to Jianyang County Brigade, which was responsible for fighting bandits in Jianyang. I used to be the vice monitor of Class 3 of 1 platoon in this unit.

"One day in March, 1950, I came back from the hospital," I once recalled to reporters. "A company cadre brought three young men to me, saying that the army had recruited a batch of new recruits, and these three were assigned to your class. One of them is Qiu. Qiu 18 years old at that time. He said that he was from Yangmaheshan Tea Village in Jianyang County. He is about 1.65 meters tall, with a pimple on his face. He is very strong, but he doesn't like to talk. Sometimes he called his name before saying a few words at the class meeting. "

All recruits have to take part in training when they join the army. Autumn Shao Yun, taciturn and not very active; I am a little selfish when I take part in labor. I didn't want to exchange a good shovel with anyone else. Once I fought with an old soldier for a shovel. Seeing this situation, Zeng Ji, as the vice monitor, listed him as his "helping object" and often talked to him "Xiaozao". Gradually, Qiu's discipline has greatly improved.

After a period of training, Qiu took part in the struggle against bandits and took him with him. One day in May, I led a working group to go out on a mission. Passing Shancha Village, he found a strange house next to the village. The roof is half tile and half grass. In front of the house, a middle-aged woman is holding a boy who is over 0 years old. Zeng Ji was suspicious and asked Qiu, "Why is this house so strange? Could it be a bandit's observation post? " Qiu replied shyly, "This is my home." Zeng Ji You was a little surprised and said, "Really, who is that woman?" Who is this boy? ""It's my mother and my brother. " "Where is your father?" "My father is dead." "Do you want to go home and see? "I once asked Qiu to answer' yes', but did Zeng Ji promise him, because it was not appropriate to expose his family's goals during the anti-bandit period to avoid retaliation. Once I saw Qiu's eyes filled with tears, he only sighed in his heart.

In June 5438,+10, after the Korean War broke out, the 10 Army was changed to the Volunteer Army 15 Army, and the number of people below the division remained unchanged, and they entered Korea from Jianyang. At this time, he was appointed as the platoon leader of 1 platoon.

Before interviewing Zeng Lao, the reporter collected many articles about Qiu's heroic deeds. The reporter noticed that Zeng Lao's memories were quite different from these articles. "Many articles say that Qiu is from Guansipo Township (now partly cloudy town) in Tongliang County, Chongqing. How did he come from Jianyang, Sichuan? Moreover, the Qiu Memorial Hall was also built in Tongliang County. " The reporter asked.

"I don't know this. I have searched for this mystery several times over the years. " Zeng Lao said.

The submachine gun used by Qiu Martyrs witnessed Qiu's heroic sacrifice.

The fire burned on Qiu for half an hour, but he didn't move.

After entering North Korea, the troops strengthened training and ideological education. Qiu made rapid progress in the melting pot of revolution. He knows a lot about weapons. Soviet-style weapons, such as submachine guns, explosive barrels and Molotov grenades, which are equipped by the troops, are on the verge of becoming pacesetters.

1952, 10 In June, the volunteers decided to launch the Battle of Shangganling, which dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. To win the battle, we must blow up the Kangping Bridge, which the enemy reinforcements must pass through; To bomb Kangping Bridge, we must first take the 39 1 highland. 39 1 The enemy set up a reinforced battalion halfway up the mountain, which was not only powerful in firepower, but also built a solid underground bunker, making it impossible to storm. The headquarters decided to send a unit to sneak into the mountainside behind the enemy's back and ambush for 24 hours. Once the attack opportunity came, it quickly captured the 39 1 highland. Zeng's platoon undertook this important task.

10 year 10 at 6 pm on October 23, our army fired artillery shells at enemy positions. Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, 1 platoon of 52 officers and men (originally 48, the superior temporarily added 4 medical and telephone personnel) crawled forward with reeds. Three hours later, the troops quietly entered the scheduled location and our shells stopped.

"This action is particularly important, and the requirements of our superiors are also very strict. After entering the position, we can only bury our faces on the ground, put our hands on the ground and stand by and do nothing. Because we are only about 30 meters away from the enemy position, we may be found if we make a little noise and make some noise. Even if the enemy finds one of us, no one can make any action, let alone fight back. "

More than 50 years have passed, but Zeng Lao still remembers the battle vividly. "That day, just after a snow, everything was bleak and the earth was silent. Maybe it's too quiet. The enemy feels uneasy and suspects what our army is doing, but they dare not patrol, so they harass the surrounding area from time to time. First, a dozen smoke bombs and gas bombs were fired from the bunker. We put on masks, but the enemy didn't mess with us. Instead, he choked himself. We can clearly hear their coughs and curses. At about 2 pm, the enemy fired hundreds of shells around, many of which landed in our hidden area. Some people were injured and some people were killed, but we still didn't move. "

"Isn't Qiu the first soldier you sacrificed?" The reporter asked.

"No," Zeng Lao went on to say, "At about 4 pm, the enemy fired dozens of incendiary bombs, four of which landed in our ambush area, and suddenly the flames were soaring. One of them landed at Qiu's side, and the fire soon burned all the grass on him. I ambushed him five meters to his right and saw it clearly. My heart went up to my throat, because Qiu was a sharp-edged sword fighter who was responsible for cutting off the enemy's barbed wire after the battle began, so he lay in the front, in the third row, only about 5 meters away from the enemy's barbed wire. If he moves a little, he may be found, the whole platoon will be found, and the whole operation will fail. But the heroic Comrade Qiu did not move from beginning to end, letting his whole body burn. I saw his fingers dig deep into the soil and thought he was in pain. I couldn't help crying, thinking: Qiu, you are the strongest soldier! I can't tell you how anxious I was. I watched my beloved soldier die, but I couldn't save him. But the military orders are like a mountain, and none of us can move it. Now that I think about it, my heart is still shaking. Sacrifice in battle is inevitable. If it was a single shot, it would make people feel better, but Qiu was eaten alive by the fire The fire burned on Qiu for more than half an hour. I watched Qiu slowly change from a living person to a focal body, and my heart was like a knife. "

Qiu is in the fire. "Some articles say that there is a ditch around Qiu. If he rolls into the ditch, he will live. Is that so? "

"It's not the way it is. We are halfway up the mountain, where there is a ditch, where there is a ditch, and there is no water in that cold winter. "

"There is an article saying that a soldier asked the company commander Cheng Ziying to save Qiu ..."

"This is impossible. At that time, the highest commander in the position was me. Our task is to wait in ambush, and no one is allowed to move or say a word. "

The moment of battle has finally arrived. At 5: 40 pm, our army launched a fierce artillery attack on the enemy position. Five minutes after bombing 1 platoon's front position, the bombing moved, and 1 platoon quickly occupied the main peak of 39 1 highland within five minutes after the artillery fire was transferred. Because in five minutes, the artillery will bomb their hiding place and cut off the enemy's reinforcements. In the process of being "harassed" by the enemy several times, 1 platoon suffered serious casualties, but the soldiers were in high spirits and rushed forward in the face of bullets. After occupying the main peak, three flares were fired in the air to convey the message of victory. Suddenly a row of bullets came from the dark castle and fell down after being shot. ...

"Many articles said that at that time, you had a battalion of more than 500 people lurking in the enemy front. How come there are only 52 people? " The reporter asked.

"That's wrong, just 52, not lurking in front of the enemy, but behind the mountainside." Zeng Lao took out his pen and drew a topographic map for the reporter at that time. "This task is too secret, it is impossible to send so many people. I am the highest commander of this team. HQ can contact me directly on the single line. No one knows about this task except me and the head of the headquarters. At that time, the division also sent a cadre to help me, but unfortunately I was killed by the enemy's incendiary bomb before I entered the latent place. "
