Heroes to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Hu is a native of Guanjian Township, Tongliang County, Chongqing. At the age of 23, he was taken to be a soldier by the Kuomintang army, joined the China People's Liberation Army in199, joined the Korean War in Chinese people's Volunteer Army in195, and served as a soldier in the 9th Company of the 87th Regiment, 29th Division of the Volunteer Army 15. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, he participated in the fifth campaign and the autumn tactical counterattack of 1952.
1952-10-11On this day, Qiu's company undertook a surprise mission at the front line of Pingkang, North Korea, and was ordered to lurk at the foot of the mountain 60 meters away from the enemy at night and launch a surprise attack the next evening. 12, 1 1, unfortunately, was hit by incendiary bombs fired blindly by the enemy. In order not to expose the whole action plan of the troops, Qiu endured the great pain of being burned, and persisted motionless for five hours until his death. He traded his life for victory in the battle. That night, the counter-offensive troops successfully captured the 39 1 highland and annihilated the defenders 1 reinforcement company.
After the war, the army party committee ratified him as China party member, and the leading organs of the Volunteers posthumously awarded him the title of "Chinese people's Volunteer Army first-class hero". The North Korean government awarded him the title of "Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea", the Gold Star Medal and the First Class Flag Medal. The hero's name will always be engraved on the stone wall of the main peak of 39 1 highland.
The hero almost died in vain.
For more than 40 years, Qiu's heroic deeds have inspired generation after generation. However, people don't know that such an earth-shattering and tearful war hero has almost become an unsung hero.
For decades, many articles introducing Qiu's deeds have avoided talking about his history as a Kuomintang soldier. In fact, Qiu was a Kuomintang soldier for one year and four months.
Qiu lost his parents when he was young and was alone. 13 years old began to live as a worker, and was later taken to be a soldier by Liu Yi 18 regiment of Sichuan Army.
1949 12. The PLA marched into Sichuan and Southwest China.
After the war in Chengdu, the Sichuan Army collapsed. Qiu was then incorporated into the PLA 10 Army, 9th Company, 87th Regiment, 29th Division. Two years later, the 29th Division entered the Korean War.
1952 10 The famous Battle of Shangganling started. 10, 1 1, Qiu was ordered to lead his troops to a place only 300 meters away from the enemy to complete the latent task.
At noon the next day, the enemy fired several incendiary bombs at the latent area. The fire burned Qiu's clothes, shoes and socks until he burned all over his body, but he remained motionless until he died.
He was only 26 when he died.
After the battle, the company gave Qiu a third-class merit, and it seemed that this matter passed silently.
According to Qiu's former comrade-in-arms, Lin later recalled that after half a month, the battle was summarized, and he and Qiu's instructor Wang went to the division to report. At that time, an officer of the organization department asked the instructor Wang to tell a specific person or thing.
Instructor Wang mentioned Qiu. He also said that in the pre-war mobilization before the mission, the soldiers were very excited and expressed their attitudes one after another, but Qiu was silent, so Lian Li was not at ease with him. So I had a heart-to-heart talk with Qiu and told him many revolutionary truths. He also expressed his attitude to me: even if he was hit by an enemy bullet, he would not expose his target, which was a revolutionary criminal.
The next day, he submitted an application for joining the Party to the Party branch, which said: I am willing to contribute everything to win this battle.
Unexpectedly, he died the next day. He really won the battle with his young life.
After listening to Wang's introduction, the officer was very moved and said, such a heroic act is so touching. If you can't get the third class merit, you should be awarded a special merit!
As a result, the Political Department of the 29th Division immediately reported Qiu's report on special contributions and submitted it to the Volunteer Command for approval.
This report attracted the attention of the leaders of the Volunteer Command.
At first, some leaders thought that Qiu was only a special death in wartime, not a hero, but a third-class merit. But more comrades think that his spirit of strict discipline and self-sacrifice for the whole is commendable.
Later, opinions were finally unified, and the minority was subordinate to the majority.
1952 165438+1October16, Qiu was posthumously awarded as a special hero by the leading organs of Chinese people's Volunteer Army.
At the end of the same year, an army reporter named Zheng Dafan raised two questions about the death of autumn:
First, where did the incendiary bomb land? Was it shot in the head or burned bit by bit? Second, is there a ditch around him? Who saw the whole process of Qiu's sacrifice?
Later, Qiu's comrade-in-arms Li Chuanhu recalled: "Kodak and I were in his left, right and back positions respectively. The fire was really great, from his leg to him. The burning bottle hit Qiu about 2 meters in front, and the burning liquid splashed on him inch by inch, burning from head to toe. At that time, I fell about 5 meters behind him and saw the fire burn Qiu alive bit by bit. When the torch burned to his head, he was still alive, his head creaked and kept shaking in the burning. I saw him look up at me. His eyes shone with light I had never seen before, and then he buried his head deeply. "
And other comrades also proved that there is a small ditch 3 meters to the right of Qiu. If Qiu wants to roll sideways, he can live.
Facing these documents and witness's description, reporter Zheng Dafan was moved, and he wrote with tears in his eyes.
On May 8th, 1953, People's Daily published a full-page article of his famous long newsletter "Chivalrous Qiu". As soon as this article came out, it immediately aroused strong repercussions at home and abroad.
On June 1953 10, the leading organs of Chinese people's Volunteer Army awarded Qiu the title of "first-class fighting hero" again, ratified him as China * * * party member, and awarded him the title of "model Communist Youth League member".
steel meets fire
1952 10 Qiu troops accepted a glorious and arduous task: in the "39 1" highland between Pingkang and Jinhua, they annihilated the Li puppet bandit troops and pushed the front southward. 39 1 Highland is located at the northeast of Tieyuan on the right wing of Shangganling 10. The mountain is steep, narrow and isolated, and the north and south peaks are opposite, with a total length of 1, 200m m. The highlands are defended by an enemy reinforcement company. They built a large number of bunkers and laid layers of barbed wire on the highlands.
The biggest difficulty in capturing 39 1 highland is that there is 3,000m open space from our position to the highland. Impact on such a long open ground will inevitably cause too many casualties of assault troops and affect the victory of the battle. In order to remove this poison nail and wipe out the Li Puppet Army in 39 1 Highland, the leading organ of a certain unit of our Volunteers sent a reconnaissance team to explore the highland terrain and the enemy's firepower. On this basis, the leading organs of our army conducted full discussions and studies, and decided to ambush several times the enemy's troops in front of the enemy the night before the attack.
The superior handed this glorious task to the 3rd Battalion of a certain department where Qiu was located. The decision of the superior reached the company, and all the cadres in the ninth company were overjoyed. Everyone asked to be a top soldier.
On the evening of 65438+1October 1 1, the gorgeous sunset glow dyed half the sky red. Against the backdrop of blossoming Xia Hong, the heavily armed 3rd Battalion commanders and fighters gathered in the mountainous area. With the commander's command, the latent troops shot straight at the enemy's front position like arrows. After a journey of 20 kilometers, the soldiers arrived at the scheduled hiding place at 2200 hours. At 2400 hours, the troops were secretly lurking. More than 570 volunteer soldiers crowded in the grass in front of the "March 91" highland. The ambush post of the ninth company has advanced to 500 meters in front of the enemy bunker. Autumn lurks at the edge of a grass ridge in the east of 39 1 highland, only 60 meters away from the foot of the mountain.
Qiu and his comrades-in-arms kept the secret lurking in the enemy's fire circle with high vigilance. They are covered with camouflage grass from head to toe. The breeze blew, and camouflage grass and weeds fluttered together, making it difficult for the enemy to find them.
Time passes by, and the night is wet and cold. During the day, the grass is stuffy and hot, and all kinds of bugs keep getting in from soldiers' pants tied with cloth, which makes people uncomfortable. All this while, I saw Qiu staring at his big dark and liquid eyes and observing the surrounding situation. After a while, he looked up at the sun again. The troops attacked at sunset. In other words, spend the whole day under the eyes of the enemy. How long and difficult this time should be. But Qiu and his comrades-in-arms lay motionless in the chest-deep grass, waiting for the order to attack.
12 in the early morning 10, an unexpected thing happened suddenly: a group of Li puppet troops jumped out of the trench, holding a bow in one hand and a cat in the other, and searched down the hill. They hurried to the hiding place of Qiu and his comrades. They shot blindly at the grass as they walked. Suddenly, the enemy in front suddenly staggered and stepped on the hand of Li Chuanhu, a soldier of the Ninth Company. When he came closer, he saw a volunteer soldier lying around him. He screamed with fear, stepped back and shot at the volunteers in the grass at random. A few people behind him didn't understand what was going on at the moment. Their eldest son was scared to death and jumped back desperately.
At this critical moment, the soldiers' hearts are hanging in their throats. As we all know, the enemy has discovered the latent volunteers. If we let them go back, this empty area will turn into a sea of fire in an instant. ...
The former enemy command post has been observing these enemies for a long time. When the enemy jumped back, they had aimed at their direct-fire guns and had shot out the gun chamber. Dozens of shells pounced on the 39 1 highland, forming a tight fire wall at the front of the enemy line. In a flash, the fire rolled on the hillside of 39 1 highland, and the fire went up to the sky. The rocks burst and the soil rolled, and all five enemies were swallowed up by the fire.
Soon, the enemy on the mountain threw two smoke bombs indicating the target into the grass. The enemy threw incendiary bombs as soon as the smoke started. Then, several fires broke out in the latent area, and the weeds burned in a scratching way, and the fire became bigger and bigger. At this time, the enemy plane dropped a row of incendiary bombs, one of which landed 2 meters away from Qiu, flying around with gasoline burning liquid and splashing on Qiu's leg. In the blink of an eye, the disguise stuck in his leg caught fire, and the flame rose sharply, quickly turning into a fire and wrapping him up.
Behind Qiu is a ditch. He just stepped back and rolled in the mud, and the fire went out. However, as long as he moves, the enemy will find out. At that time, Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang and Lao Wang became nervous when they approached Qiu. The three of them looked at Qiu. His body was burning and he felt very uncomfortable. The fire was burning on Qiu, as if it were burning in their hearts. They really want to jump out and help their comrades put out the fire. However, they restrained their extreme pain and didn't do that. Because the enemy observes this burning land through a telescope, as long as there is any movement, the enemy will find it. In this way, not only can Qiu not be saved, but the latent plan will also fail, and the lives of more soldiers will be threatened. They follow Qiu's example, strictly abide by the latent discipline, and wait for the moment to make contributions.
By this time, the fire had burned from Qiu's leg to his head. He endured the unimaginable pain of the fire and immediately handed the explosive tube in his hand to Xiao Li beside him.
10 minutes later, Qiu still lay there motionless, his hands deeply inserted into the soil, melted like high-quality gold steel, and clung to the ground like a giant stone, strictly observing revolutionary discipline. He didn't make a sound until the last second of his sacrifice.
The moment that Comrade Qiu has been waiting for has finally arrived! At 5: 30 pm, the enemy's gunfire stopped, the flames gradually went out, and the position was silent. Suddenly, more than 500 volunteer soldiers lurking in the grass exploded like time bombs. ...
After Comrade Qiu's sacrifice, the Korean people and Chinese people's Volunteer Army, with deep respect, carved a line of Chinese characters on the stone wall of 39 1 highland:
Comrade Qiu, a great soldier who sacrificed himself for the whole and victory, is immortal!
In recognition of Qiu's heroic deeds, the volunteers awarded Comrade Qiu the title of first-class combat hero. The Party Committee of a certain unit of the Volunteers approved Comrade Qiu as party member of the Communist Party of China.
