During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, many heroes emerged in the Chinese Volunteer Army, such as the familiar oneHuang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, Yang Gensi, Sun Zhanyuan, etc. Their heroic stories have inspired generations of ......
In the previous two issues of the article, we met Tan Bingyun, a first-class combat hero who intercepted the tank unit of the 11th Division of the US Army for 8 hours with just one person.
And today we will meet another one, the first-class combat hero of the Volunteer Army:Hu Xiudao
During the Shangganling Battle that broke out in October 1952, Hu Xiudao created a miracle of "individual combat" of the Volunteer Army, and the number of enemies destroyed in one day was proud of the whole army, and no one has been able to break it so far.
As for how many enemies Hu Xiudao has annihilated, let's wait to find out later. It can only be said that it will make Simon, a Finnish sniper with the title of "King of Snipers in the World". Haye was ashamed.
Shangganling 5979 On the high ground, as far as the eye can see, there are devastated as far as the eye can see, large and small craters are everywhere, and it is difficult to see any standing plants on the mountain, and after many days of fierce fighting, it is not an exaggeration to describe this area as scorched earth.
In 597In the No. 3 position of the 9th Heights, Hu Xiudao, squad leader Li Feng and a new soldier Teng Shisheng did not speak, but stared closely at the bottom of the position.
They defended 579Position No. 3 on the 9th Heights is only one of the 12 positions, and in this position, there are only 3 of them. They all knew the tragic extent of the Battle of Shangganling, and in the face of the fierce attack of Syngman Rhee's heavy troops since November 5, life and death were actually not as good as being broken!
It didn't take long for groups of enemy troops to appear in front of him, even Hu Xiudao, who had already been in the army for more than a year, was inadvertently shocked by the number of enemy troops.
Hu Xiudao swallowed his saliva, and secretly told himself not to be nervous, but after all, Hu Xiudao's hand holding the blaster was oozing sweat. He glanced at the recruit Teng Shisheng, and his face changed color......
Time passed minute by minute, and in a short time, the enemy had already touched the range of the attack of the volunteers. Squad leader Li Feng saw the opportunity and began to attack with an order.
Hu Xiudao, who heard the order to attack, didn't think about it, stood up and threw the blaster at the enemy, then grabbed a grenade next to him and threw it out, and then picked up the grenade next to him and threw it again.
Due to nervousness, Hu Xiudao didn't observe the enemy situation at all, he only knew how to throw, until he was caught by the squad leader Li Feng and said: "Stop, the enemy has run away." ”
It was only when Hu Xiudao saw that the enemy had already retreated when he saw that the situation was not good. Hu Xiudao recalled afterwards: Because of his nervousness, the ammunition was consumed in vain, and he was very distressed and regretful.
However, after this combat experience of repelling the enemy, when Hu Xiudao saw the enemy that he touched not long ago, he was not very panicked, but cooperated with his comrades in an orderly manner and repelled several attacks. He gradually transitioned from being scared and nervous to becoming more and more fearless.
Although at 579The volunteer soldiers of the 9 heights repelled the enemy's frantic attacks again and again, but the inevitable ** also appeared.
Just as Hu Xiudao and the squad leader of the No. 3 position were cooperating with the enemy more and more smoothly and fighting "hi", the No. 9 position was due to the lack of personnel, and the squad leader Li Feng was transferred to the No. 9 position to fill the vacancy, and the No. 3 position only left Hu Xiudao and Teng Shisheng, so both of them are now in a combat state, and the No. 3 position is not too dangerous under the defense of the two.
After the enemy's repeated attacks were blocked, he stopped the man-to-man attack tactics and began to attack 5799 highlands were bombarded indiscriminately, the sound was deafening, and the smoke of gunpowder was full of dust. **The gravel and dirt from the bombardment hit Hu Xiudao's head and face hard, but Hu Xiudao ignored it and stared at the enemy below.
But the strange thing is that after waiting for a while, Hu Xiudao found that something was wrong. "How come there isn't even a figure"?Just as he was thinking, the No. 10 position was dark and oppressive.
Strangely, however, there was no sound of blocking from the No. 10 position, and the enemy was about to touch the position. At this time, the news came that all the comrades-in-arms in position 10 had been sacrificed. The company commander waved at Hu Xiudao and signaled to rush to the No. 10 position.
Teng Shisheng, come with me to Position 10."
In a hurry, Hu Xiudao shouted at Teng Shisheng who was not far away.
Teng Shisheng, who heard Hu Xiudao's shout, turned around and just wanted to take a step, when he suddenly thought of something and hesitated, and said to Hu Xiudao:
It's all gone, what should I do if the enemy in position 3 touches it?”
Teng Shisheng's remark made Hu Xiudao react. "Yes, there can't be no one in the No. 3 position", thinking of this, Hu Xiudao left Teng Shisheng in the No. 3 position, and braved the enemy's fire to blockade it, and rushed to the No. 10 position.
Hu Xiudao, who came to the No. 10 position, glanced at the No. 0 position, which was the place where the former hero Huang Jiguang sacrificed, he looked at the enemy, and the blaster and grenade in his hand, etc., his heart calmed down. If you can't hold it, you will die with the enemy.
With Hu Xiudao, who was determined to die, he no longer had any fear in the face of the enemy at this time, and there was only one thought in his heart: even if he died, he could not make the enemy comfortable, at least he had to let the enemy be buried more before he died. Hu Xiudao became more and more courageous and ruthless, and he even fought back dozens of times his enemies.
At this time, the platoon commander came to support Hu Xiudao with ammunition from the No. 9 position, but unexpectedly, a shell fell, and it was too late for Hu Xiudao to shout, and the platoon commander fell in a pool ......of blood in an instantAnd the platoon commander's last words were:Hold your ground even if you die.
It didn't take long for Teng Shisheng to be injured in the No. 3 position and was transferred.
Looking at the comrades-in-arms who kept falling around him, Hu Xiudao was also close to "madness", he understood that there was no way out, and the brutal battle was either you die or I die.
He kept roaring slogans such as "avenge the platoon commander, avenge his comrades", while gritting his teeth and picking up the automatic rifle to the enemy.
At this time, Hu Xiudao seemed to have become a tireless and fearless "robot", and he kept going back and forth between the No. 10 position and the No. 3 position. Bullets, grenades, grenades, blasters, ......The ** that can be used was all greeted by Hu Xiudao to the enemy.
The enemy attacked wave after wave, and Hu Xiudao repelled the enemy round after ......
597 under artillery fireIn the 9th position, Hu Xiudao's eyes were like torches, as if he had become an enemy's "killing god", and the bullets "roared" and the shells "boomed" and did not seem to hurt him in the slightest.
After high-intensity battles and long-term travel and consumption, Hu Xiudao gradually felt physically exhausted, but the enemy seemed to be unable to be eliminated, and he was still pouring towards the position.
At this time, Hu Xiudao was close to collapse, he was dizzy and dizzy, and he had no strength. He gasped for a moment in a short gap, and Hu Xiudao, who wanted to fall asleep, looked at the sun that was about to set and the last grenade, and suddenly a sense of honor for the glorious sacrifice to serve the motherland arose, and he decided to die with the enemy.
After throwing the last grenade out with all his last strength, Hu Xiudao picked up the automatic rifle, jumped on the ground and shouted:
Chong, avenge your comrades-in-arms and win glory for the motherland!
With this roar was the fury of the rifle. And at this critical moment, the earth-shattering killing roar came, and the large army of volunteers rushed to ...... like timely rain
And at this time, Hu Xiudao lay down in this position where he decided to kill himself.
According to post-war statistics, on this day alone, Hu Xiudao and his comrades-in-arms repelled a total of 41 enemy attacks, and on this day, Hu Xiudao, who went back and forth to No. 10 and No. 3 positions, created a record of more than 280 enemies killed by the volunteers in one day, which has not been broken so far.
Simon Heyer, a Finnish sniper in World War II, is famous for killing 704 people with a single soldier, but this is the achievement of Simon Heyer's life. And Hu Xiudao alone just wiped out more than 280 enemies in one day, not to mention looking at the whole army, I am afraid that there are few in the world, and it is worthy of the name to say that he is the "king of individual soldiers". This is not a divine drama, it is reality.
The Battle of Shangganling, the U.S. Army didn't figure it out, only 3The small Shangganling of 7 square kilometers has invested more than 60,000 troops and more than 1.9 million artillery shells, with tanks, artillery, and aircraft ......almost blew up Shangganling, why did you lose the battle in the end?
They don't know that they have aircraft artillery, and we have Huang Jiguang, Sun Zhanyuan, Long Shichang, Lai Fajun, Hu Xiudao, ......Thousands of heroic sons and daughters.
In view of Hu Xiudao's outstanding contribution and affirmation in the Battle of Shangganling,On January 15, 1953, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army decided to give Hu Xiudao a special merit and the title of "first-class combat hero".
And when Hu Xiudao recalled this incident, he once said with moist eyes:
I was just an ordinary warrior, I just did what I had to do, and the country gave me great honor. Many of my comrades-in-arms have given their precious lives, and they are the real heroes."
In 2002, the old man Hu Xiudao left us forever. And he who created a miracle in the Battle of Shangganling was only 21 years old.
