At the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949, ** personally introduced Su Yudai's deputy section chief to the chairman.
At the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949, there were 89 highly respected figures standing on the tower of Tiananmen Square, who were personally elected by the presidium members.
Among this group of people, there is also a particularly striking 24-year-old young man, whose appearance is eye-catching. Although his body was thin, his eyes were bright, and everyone couldn't help but ask him curiously, "Where are you?"
A few days before the founding ceremony, a presidium meeting was held, and the 24-year-old young man was specially invited from the Shandong battlefield and rushed to the meeting place.
When he appeared, ** was very excited, personally took him to meet *** and introduced ***: "Chairman, this is Wei Laiguo who I once reported to you!"
When I heard this, I was very surprised, and immediately greeted Wei Laiguo with a smile, stretched out his hand to him, and shook it hard. On the day of the ceremony, ** also came over to hold Wei Laiguo's hand and said, "Your marksmanship is really accurate!"
It's amazing! Wei Laiguo was the famous "Hero Sharpshooter" at that time. So, how good is his marksmanship, so that all the leaders respect him so much?
In the summer of 1946, the Kuomintang 54th Army landed in Qingdao and eyed the liberated areas of Shandong. Wei Laiguo's troops and the Kuomintang troops were hiding around Nanquan Station northwest of Langezhuang at this time, Wei Laiguo was on the defensive, and the Kuomintang was attacking.
Nanquan Station is located at the intersection of three railways on the Jiaodong Peninsula, and occupying it will allow it to control the transportation hub of the Jiaodong Peninsula, thus affecting the control of the Shandong Peninsula.
At this time, a tense atmosphere was permeated in Langezhuang, and the two armies were anxietic due to the confrontation. This kind of silence is "the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings" before the war. Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to this war, and he equipped his elite soldiers with advanced ** in the United States.
However, Wei Laiguo was more excited than ever at this time. He wanted to see if he could still defeat those "regular troops" in the face of those "regular troops" this time.
Wei Laiguo jumped into the trenches, he had already discovered the enemy. Suddenly, a loud ** sound broke the silence, and war broke out. Wei Laiguo immediately picked up the gun, concentrated on it, and entered the combat state.
Our army chose a cemetery as a battlefield, and Wei Laiguo shuttled through it, using the grave as a cover to shoot at the enemy. Cui Zhongqing, the hygienist, has been following closely behind Wei Laiguo, he is taking precautions, and he is also calculating the number of enemies he destroys for Wei Laiguo.
Whenever Wei Laiguo knocked down an enemy, Cui Zhongqing would put a stone behind the tombstone. Wei Laiguo's marksmanship is very accurate, and it can be said that it is accurate by a dozen. As the enemy ran forward, he kept pressing and firing bullets, and the bullets stirred up layers of dust.
But Wei Laiguo was not disturbed, only staring at the enemies on the opposite side, or the half of the head hidden behind the tree, or the exposed arm of the stone tablet, and shot accurately one by one.
In the War of Liberation, although our army did not set up a special sniper position, in order to cope with the shortage of ammunition, our army often trained marksmanship and trained some sharpshooters.
Wei Laiguo is one of them. His marksmanship was difficult for the enemy to resist, but as the battle progressed, the enemy began to notice that we had a sniper with excellent marksmanship, so they changed their tactics.
Wei Laiguo decided to deal with the machine gunners of the enemy company platoon first, and then proceeded. He bent over and moved to the right along the trench, getting up and shooting as he ran, but the enemy was able to keep track of his movements.
He realized that his rifle had "betrayed" him. He bent over and ran into the trench, waiting for an opportunity to fight back. In less than ten minutes, the opportunity for a counterattack appeared, and he quickly got up and shot, walked forward with his waist bent, and occasionally quickly straightened up and looked up to judge the direction of the enemy, and then pulled the trigger and shot...The whole process took only a few seconds, and the enemy's machine-gun team suffered heavy losses.
After Wei Laiguo fired 22 rounds, his hygienist placed another 16 stones.
After Wei Laiguo and his comrades-in-arms were blocked by the enemy's machine gun crew, our army seized the opportunity to counterattack. The enemy's infantry attack slowed down and was relatively low in intensity.
Wei Laiguo began to study the battle situation, he reduced the density of his shots, and gathered his stamina to prepare for the enemy's counterattack. Under Wei Laiguo's accurate fire, the enemy's position was disrupted and his troops were greatly damaged.
Wei Laiguo took out a strip of cloth and observed the direction of the wind so that it could be easier to correct the trajectory. Suddenly, Cui Zhongqing shouted, and following his direction, Wei Laiguo saw that one of the enemy soldiers was running towards the trench.
Wei Laiguo immediately aimed at the signal soldier and fired a shot, but it missed. The soldier realized that he had been discovered, and immediately bent down, and the path was nowhere to be found.
Wei Laiguo squinted and fired a shot at the little soldier, successfully knocking him down. Seeing that his communications corps had been intercepted, the enemy fell silent for a while. They have no command and orders from their superiors and become at a loss.
However, Wei Laiguo knew that this silence did not mean the end of the war, but rather heralded a new round of fierce attacks to come. Sure enough, not long after, the enemy's second round of attacks came overwhelmingly, and Wei Laiguo was surrounded in a trench by more than 20 shooters, in a dilemma.
The noon of July was unusually hot, and the sun shone like pins and needles on the sand, making the sand hot. Wei Laiguo's heart beat faster, realizing that in this encirclement, there could be danger at any time.
He cautiously crouched in the trench, studying the terrain and thinking about countermeasures. Bullets swept over his head, dense, violent, and rapid, apparently planned by the enemy for a long time.
Suddenly, Cui Zhongqing's screams came from the other side of the trench, and a string of bullets pierced his head. Wei Laiguo's heart tightened, he endured his grief, and immediately made a decision: to attack quickly and quickly destroy the enemy.
However, he did not expect that when he was ready to counterattack, the enemy would change direction in just a few seconds, and these "regular troops" presented him with an unprecedented challenge.
He bent down in the trench, aimed at a machine gunner, and fired a shot, but this led to great danger. The enemy immediately discovered Wei Laiguo's location and launched a fierce attack on him.
The brim of his hat was pierced by the enemy, he didn't dare to move anymore, and the gunshots rang out constantly, like a kind of countdown to death, which made Wei Laiguo feel a chill. The real opponent has just appeared, and the immature "boy scouts" just now are nothing more than smoke bombs put on him by the Kuomintang army.
Wei Laiguo understood that if he continued to wait, he would never have a chance again. So, he arranged four fighters in the trenches in front and asked them to move in the northeast and southwest directions, respectively.
As the fighters dispersed, the gunfire on the opposite side really thinned out. They are trying to determine which direction the real "sharpshooters" have gone. After a while, the bullets concentrated on Wei Laiguo were indeed scattered in various places, and the crisis was resolved.
However, this does not mean that Wei Laiguo can get out safely. It was obviously not wise to fight back at the enemy head-on, so he quietly groped his way to the battlefield to the west. There, he noticed the nearest shooter, and he quietly approached, eliminating three shooters in a row.
By this time, the stones beside him had piled up to more than 70. In the evening, the sound of guns and artillery died down, and the armies of both sides were resting and preparing for the final decisive battle.
The Kuomintang army did not like night fighting, and the third attack before the sun went down would be their last and fiercest attack. Wei Laiguo hid in the trenches, testing the wind direction and adjusting the trajectory.
Although he was surrounded by rocks, he had few bullets left. This "38-style gun" is left over from the last time, and it is different from everyone's gun type, and it can't get a supply of bullets at all.
He reached out and touched his back, and there were more than thirty rounds. It can't be used indiscriminately, Wei Laiguo thought secretly.
In the smoke of the Liberation War, the sun gradually sank to the horizon, and the sound of artillery fire sounded again, shaking the dust and smoke on the ground, and the battlefield was gray. Wei Laiguo looked through the smoke and dust and observed the direction of the enemy's artillery fire.
The enemy's points of attack were constantly moving, pointing to bunkers and tunnels, where almost all the fighters of our army were hiding. Wei Laiguo wondered why the enemy knew where we were hiding and where we were moving.
If the artillery fire continues to bombard, the ** of our army will be difficult to bear. Wei Laiguo began to advance along the battle line, looking for the enemy's "clairvoyance". Finally, he found a Kuomintang artillery commander hiding in a tree and giving bombing orders to his soldiers.
Capture the thief and capture the king first", as long as the commander is controlled, our army will be able to stop its losses. However, the opponent is very cunning, he always hides in the trees, making it difficult for Wei Laiguo to judge his position, and often moves, making Wei Laiguo nervous.
This enemy must be lethal with one shot, otherwise the chance to turn the tables will be lost once the enemy is taken by surprise. This shot involved the life and death of the whole platoon. Wei Laiguo stared at the commander, studying his movement path.
Finally, he aimed at the edge of the trunk and fired a shot, hitting one of the enemy's arms, the commander showed his head, Wei Laiguo immediately made up a shot to his head, and the artillery commander immediately fell.
Seeing this, Wei Laiguo immediately launched an order for a general offensive, and our army began a full-scale **. Several soldiers came to Wei Laiguo's side and wanted to help him, but he refused. Wei Laiguo said: "In this way, you take off your hats and put them on the corn stalks.
If you don't have a corn stalk, you can put it on a gun that doesn't bullet. "This move really confused the enemy army, and they began to launch a fierce attack on these false targets, and our army took the opportunity to enter the enemy and seize the final victory.
In the end, Wei Laiguo had 110 stones piled up beside him, and that day, he had brought a total of 135 rounds of ammunition.
With his excellent shooting skills and high consciousness, Wei Laiguo's feat of hitting 110 enemies with 135 rounds quickly spread throughout the 4th Garrison Brigade, causing widespread praise.
The brigade commander immediately decided to promote Wei Laiguo to the commander of the 77th Company of the 4th Regiment, and the news also reached the ears of **. ** He was very happy about this, and encouraged everyone: "Wei Laiguo's deeds show that as long as our soldiers have a high degree of consciousness and exquisite technology, we will be able to use our equipment to defeat the superior equipment of the Kuomintang and achieve the ultimate victory!"
The news was a huge boost to morale. Xu Shiyou, commander of the Shandong Military Region, was also a well-known sharpshooter, and when he heard about Wei Laiguo's feat, he applauded and praised Wei Laiguo's performance again and again.
Xu Shiyou was very appreciative of his talents, and he vigorously publicized at the East China Field Army meeting that their military region had produced a "sharpshooter," and said that if every military region had a sharpshooter like Wei Laiguo, we would be able to save a soldier from the arsenal.
However, when Xu Shiyou said this, everyone was skeptical, thinking that Xu Shiyou might have drunk too much wine and said something unrealistic. However, Xu Shiyou was very angry about this, and he insisted that his words were true.
In the end, Su Yu said with a smile that there was indeed a sharpshooter in the Shandong Military Region, and what Commander Xu said was true. At this time, everyone believed that there was really such a genius in the army.
* told the story of Wei Laiguo at the ** meeting, ** felt very interesting after listening to it, so he asked ** to tell him the process of the war 1510. After listening, ** smiled and said to the big guy: "One person will destroy one of the enemy's companies!"
Amazing, amazing! The officers and soldiers of the whole country are like Wei Laiguo, and the time of the Liberation War will be greatly shortened! This praise made Wei Laiguo famous.
In 1948, Wei Laiguo returned to Rongcheng, Shandong. The masses prepared a welcome ceremony in the county town early, and the county also asked craftsmen to make a plaque as big as a door, with five gilded characters "Revolutionary Sharpshooter".
As soon as Wei Laiguo returned to the county, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers rang out, and everyone hung a large plaque in Wei Laiguo's home, welcoming the return of the heroes of his hometown. In mid-August 1949, Wei Laiguo received an order on the battlefield in Weixian County, Shandong, to report to Nanjing alone, and then to Beiping to participate in the Political Consultative Conference together with representatives of Nanjing and Sanye.
Wei Laiguo and others.
The representatives of the 2nd and 3rd Field Armies stayed at the Liuguo Hotel in Beijing and waited together for the meeting. At that time, Wei Laiguo never imagined that he would be selected to become a member of the chairman's delegation of 89 revolutionary pioneers, and after learning the news, Wei Laiguo couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement.
Most of the chairman's delegation were highly respected figures, many of whom were already very old and had made great achievements, and Wei Laiguo was only 24 years old at that time. Everyone was particularly surprised that this young warrior could make such a difference.
Wei Laiguo climbed the Tiananmen Tower again, and to his surprise, ** actually took the initiative to come over and greet him. The chairman not only knew his name, but also praised him for his accurate marksmanship, which was very remarkable.
Wei Laiguo was very surprised and moved when he heard this, and he saluted the chairman with a military salute and said: "Thank you for the chief's compliment, what I have done is insignificant." On the day of the founding ceremony, ** personally took Wei Laiguo to introduce ***: "Chairman, this is Wei Laiguo, who I once reported to you, and used 135 bullets to defeat 110 enemies!"
** I was very happy when I heard it, and stretched out a strong hand to hold Wei Laiguo and said: "What a sharpshooter, what a great thing!" Wei Laiguo was so excited that he burst into tears, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
He later said that the current honors are all given to him by the people, and what he sees when he stands on the tower of Tiananmen Square is not the honor of standing here, but the comrades-in-arms who have been broken for the revolution but cannot see this day.
He said: "The victory of the revolution and the good life of the people do not depend on the guns of our Wei Laiguo, but on the guns of the thousands of living and sacrificed Red Armymen. Although the stormy years have passed, Wei Laiguo's action of holding the gun is still deeply engraved in his mind, engraved in the minds of the party and the people.
