When the volunteer soldiers saw the US soldiers sleeping in their tents, they were about to shoot them, but the platoon commander said don't fight
In 1951, Bu Guangde led the knife platoon to encounter two US military tents, in which the US troops were sleeping soundly and there were no sentries guarding the door. The soldiers were ready to sweep, but Bu Guangde stopped: "Stop!."”
In 1925, one day in Laiwu, Shandong, Bu Guangde was born in an ordinary farmhouse. In order to maintain the family's income, Bu Guangde went out to work for the landlord at an early age, and even got involved in digging coal in the black coal kiln run by the Japanese.
In 1945, with the surrender of the Japanese army, the family finally breathed a sigh of relief and life gradually improved. By this time, Bu Guangde had reached the age of 20, and he was finally able to mention to his parents and family his long-cherished dream of becoming a soldier.
The family knew that Bu Guangde had done a lot for the family over the years, so they agreed to his wish to become a soldier. So, in 1946, Bu Guangde gloriously became a member of the People's Liberation Army and joined the Communist Party of China, beginning his military career.
During the War of Liberation, Bu Guangde was incorporated into the East China Field Army. On the battlefield, he showed bravery and good fighting, walked through the rain of bullets, was flexible and courageous, won rich battles, and accumulated rich combat experience.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Bu Guangde continued to serve the country. When the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, he was incorporated into the 20th Army of the Volunteer Army, served as the platoon commander of the 6th Company of the 173rd Regiment of the 58th Division, and set foot on the Korean battlefield in 1951.
In April, Bao Guangde, who was preparing to participate in the Fifth Campaign, received a glorious and arduous task: the platoon under his command was appointed by his superiors as a sharp knife platoon, and he had to do everything possible to occupy five hills on the 503 heights.
Before entering the battlefield, the company commander repeatedly stressed the importance of the mission: "The success or failure of this mission is directly related to whether the follow-up troops can successfully reach the designated position and carry out combat ......Your task is to occupy these five hills, ensure that the passage is clear, and create the conditions for the smooth passage of the large army. ”
Bao Guangde knew that there could be no delay, so he led the troops to set off overnight. After marching for a while, everyone noticed a fire looming in the distance, and Bao Guangde took out the map to confirm that the 503 Heights were close in sight.
He motioned for the fighters to be quiet and quietly approach their targets. At this time, the scouts in front reported that two enemy tents had been spotted under Heights 503, patrolled without sentries, and there was a noticeable snoring sound from the tents.
When the soldiers heard this, they were very excited and eager to seize the two tents, but Bao Guangde kept calm: "No, don't move!."Our mission is to capture 5 hills on the 503 Heights, and if we alarm the American troops on the heights, the consequences will be out of control. ”
Subsequently, Bu Guangde commanded the troops to bypass the camp tent and begin to climb the 503 heights. Obviously, the U.S. military is well aware of the importance of the 503 Heights, and has deployed heavy troops here in advance, and once Bu Guangde and others show up, they will usher in a fierce fire attack.
In the face of such a dense enemy fire, Bu Guangde did not choose to concentrate his forces for frontal combat. He judged that the US military had strong firepower and might suffer heavy losses if it had adopted a concentrated operation. Moreover, these five mountains are close to each other, and once the US military reinforces each other, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After careful consideration, Bu Guangde decided to divide the platoon into three teams and launch an attack on the three hills. After the capture, he personally led one team to capture the most difficult hill, while the other two teams went to capture the other.
In accordance with this deployment, the teams quickly arrived at the designated positions and entered a combat state. Despite the strong firepower of the U.S. military, due to poor night fighting, heavy ** such as machine guns could not aim at the volunteer soldiers at all.
The fighters seized the weakness of the American army, and in less than an hour, they successfully captured five hills on the 503 heights, and there was not a single person in the platoon.
However, after the task was completed, Bu Guangde did not feel a trace of joy. He realized that his vision was limited at night, and that many American troops might have fled in a hurry, or they might be lurking in a corner, ready to strike back when the volunteer soldiers were unprepared.
Bu Guangde did not hesitate and decisively organized the whole platoon to conceal and hold the position. Soon after, the remnants of the U.S. military did approach quietly, but they could not find any trace of the volunteers. Bu Guangde, who was hiding in the shadows, sneered and issued an order to shoot to the soldiers.
Before the U.S. troops could sort out the situation, they were attacked by surprise, and they lost their armor and fled in all directions.
According to later statistics, during this mission, Bu Guangde not only succeeded in seizing the top of the mountain, but also annihilated a reinforced platoon of the enemy and captured more than 20 trophies such as rifles, machine guns, and rocket launchers.
A few days later, because of his rich experience in highland operations, Bu Guangde was again ordered to participate in the defensive battle in the Hwacheon area, and held on to 2807 Heights. However, 280The situation on the 7 heights became more complicated, and before the battle began, ** appeared in the platoon.
Bu Guangde calmly analyzed the situation and found that the US troops attacked mainly through artillery. He realized that as long as he could destroy the artillery positions of the American army, he could hold 2807 Heights.
As a result, Bu Guangde once again took advantage of the weakness of the US army, which was not good at night fighting, and led three squads to run eight kilometers, successfully destroying the artillery position of the US army and consolidating 2807 highland defense line.
Bu Guangde's two achievements reached the ears of the *** boss, which made him sincerely admire: "Bu Guangde fights not only with physical strength, but also with brains." We will proclaim his heroic deeds throughout the army!”
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Bu Guangde was repeatedly awarded special merit and first-class meritAfter the war, he was awarded the honor of "Combat Hero of the First Degree".
This year marks the 73 rd anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers going abroad to fight to resist US aggression and aid Korea. This war was a mighty battle for New China to defend its homeland and country, and it was of far-reaching historical significance, and the Chinese people made great sacrifices for it.
While we remember history and cherish peace, we must not forget the "most respectable people" who have worked hard for our beautiful life today, and we must not ignore those revolutionary martyrs who bravely sacrificed their lives for the motherland in previous wars, but have not been able to witness the prosperity of today!
