The Battle of Menglianggu in the eyes of veterans Fearless and hardworking, comrades-in-arms stained the top of the mountain!
This is a true story about the Battle of Menglianggu told by a veteran, a history full of blood and fire, and full of endless resistance to the enemy. It was a little-known battle, but it forged a group of brave and fearless warriors, one of whom was the veteran I witnessed - Luan Shaoben.
The incident happened in 1947, when the Kuomintang attacked Shandong on a large scale, and the enemy's two ace divisions, the 74th Division and the 11th Division, launched a fierce attack on Shandong as if they were in a no-man's land. The 9th Division, under the orders of its superiors, skillfully attracted the attention of the enemy and conducted many prepared confrontations. And just when the enemy army couldn't hold its breath and headed towards us, the prelude to the Battle of Menglianggu officially opened.
On the northern slope of Menglianggu, an open field at the foot of the mountain is exactly where the 25th Division of the 9th Column must pass. The firepower of the enemy's 74th Division poured in like a flood, and our side inevitably paid some **. Luan Shaoben's 73rd Regiment came to the bottom of the mountain after a hard march, but was blocked by a mountain beam. And just when the crisis was lurking, Luan Shaoben's comrade-in-arms Nie Liangyou died unfortunately in order to cover him.
This was a heart-wrenching moment, but in this predicament, Luan Shaoben led the class to move forward bravely and rushed towards Meng Lianggu. They skillfully use the natural terrain to rush to the top of the mountain like a dragon. However, the enemy's fire intensified, and the battle became difficult.
The situation was even more dire when Luan Shaoben and his comrades found the enemy's bunker in the ravine. The enemy's submachine guns are like the eyes of a vicious wolf, sharp and deadly. Luan Shaoben's left shoulder was hit hard, and his left hand did not obey the call. After the sacrifice of his companion Nie Liangyou, Luan Shaoben's mood became more and more anxious, but he did not choose to retreat.
Nie Liangyou's heroic mission was not in vain, and the whole class of soldiers worked together to finally succeed in capturing the enemy's bunker. However, the joy of victory was instantly destroyed by the fierce fire of the enemy. In the process of protecting his comrades, Luan Shaoben's left hand was injured again, and his entire left arm lost its flexibility. However, the battlefield did not allow them to stop, and enemy planes began to drop supplies, just in time to solve their hunger problems.
As the battle entered the second night, our side suffered heavy losses and was in dire need of supplies. Luan Shaoben was sent to find the commander of the force, but it became extremely difficult to find someone in the dark. The appearance of Deputy Battalion Commander Lin became a turning point, and when he learned that the troops were in urgent need of supplies, he did not hesitate to send Luan Shaoben to carry the supplied ammunition. The aid of this night became the key to their continued fighting.
However, as time went on, the situation became more and more dangerous. Luan Shaoben's platoon deputy commander Wang Fengkui, squad leader Liu Zhongxin, and deputy squad leader Song Kongguang were wounded one after another, and a squad brought by Luan Shaoben was also wiped out under enemy fire. The enemy's firepower is strong, the ammunition is sufficient, and our fighters are ** heavy, and only a few fighters with combat effectiveness remain.
At this time, Luan Shaoben met with Zhou Yexue, the deputy of the eighth class, and the two classes merged and moved forward bravely. As dawn approached, the five found an enemy bunker made of stones on the top of the mountain. Although they didn't know how many enemies there were, they decided to lay cover first. Luan Shaoben threw three grenades, and in the fierce firefight, his left shoulder was hit again, and his left hand lost the ability to move. But even so, he did not flinch and continued to provide cover for his comrades.
In the fierce battle with the enemy, Luan Shaoben was severely injured in his right calf and his right hand was also injured. In the face of devastation, he used his last strength to continue to open the way for his comrades. However, Luan Shaoben and his companion Pony were knocked out during the enemy's indiscriminate bombardment, and Zhou Yexue, the only surviving man, heroically cleared the enemy's bunker, but also lost Pony.
Luan Shao himself was scarred, his left hand could not move, and his right calf was bleeding from a large hole, facing a dying situation. Desperately saved by his comrades, he was broken through by the enemy's blockade and finally broke away from the battlefield. However, the scars left on him by the battle are indelible for life, and he has been carrying shrapnel on his left shoulder and right calf, which have become permanent marks.
After a long period of **and**, Luan Shaoben did not choose to retreat. He returned to the army, participated in the War of Liberation, and even devoted himself to the bloody struggle to resist US aggression and aid Korea. The tenacity and bravery of this veteran are a symbol of that era and a model for the best people.
However, while we look back on this history, we must not forget the heroic sacrifices of all the fighters in this battle. Their flesh and blood guarded our homeland and wrote a magnificent chapter in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
In this heroic story, I saw an endless love for the motherland and an unremitting pursuit of justice. They defended our dignity and freedom with their flesh and blood. In this special historical period, every soldier is a national hero, and they have won us a happy life today.
Today, we live in an era of peace and enjoy a hard-won peace. Whenever I think of the deeds of Luan Shaoben and other soldiers, my heart is full of emotion. We should cherish the present peace and be grateful to the heroes who have fought for us.
On the Internet, some netizens commented on the deeds of this veteran: "This is a group of heroes who fought for the country and forgot their lives, and they wrote the glory of the nation with their blood." This kind of comment makes me deeply feel that we need to inherit and carry forward this heroic spirit, so that more people can understand and respect these great warriors.
This story tells us that history is forged by generations of heroes. Just like Luan Shaoben, they used their practical actions to interpret what a real national hero is. Their dedication is beyond words, but what they did for their country will always be remembered in our hearts.
Behind this seemingly calm is the silent dedication of countless heroes, and the tenacity and courage of generations of people who have fought bloodily in the flames of war. It is with these heroes that we are able to have the peace and happiness we have now.
Let us remember this history together, remember the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, and at the same time cherish peace, and strive to make this sacred land forever full of sunshine and peace. This is the best tribute to our heroes, and it is also the best interpretation of our own responsibility and responsibility. In times of peace, we must remember history, inherit the heroic spirit, and work together for the prosperity of the motherland.
