In 1979, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam began, and our army sent troops to aid Vietnam. In order to cover the 129th Regiment under the 386th Division of the main force, disrupt the enemy's defensive line and capture Maoshan Mountain.
Located on the military artery of Vietnam's Highway No. 4, the terrain is very important. In order to complete the task assigned by his superiors to break through the pillbox on Maoshan Mountain, the battalion commander urgently needed someone to blow up the enemy's pillbox.
Hou Manhou stepped forward and volunteered, determined to blow up the bunker. The experience of many battles made him very comfortable in this mission.
At the critical moment, Hou Manhou decided to throw away the blaster in his hand without hesitation and successfully completed the task of blowing up the bunker. In the dust of **, Hou Manhou broke free from the doom of life and death, survived, and completed his mission.
With the support of our army's covering firepower, Hou Manhou led several soldiers to risk their lives to advance to the enemy's bunker, forming a triangular formation, crawling forward, and arranging blasting canisters.
Despite the fact that the enemy detected and quickly launched the explosives, they retreated to the crater in time to avoid damage. Faced with the possibility of failure of the mission, Hou Manhou decided to let the other comrades evacuate first and complete the task alone.
The battalion commander was puzzled by Hou Manhou's decision, but before he could react, Hou Manhou had once again advanced towards the bunker with a blaster, nimbly avoiding enemy fire.
When he came to the bunker again, the hearts of the people were in their throats. Hou Manhou held the burning fuse, but did not throw it immediately, as if waiting for the opportunity.
Everyone hurriedly shouted in the rear: "Throw it away, hurry up!".I am afraid that he will die like Dong Cunrui. In the end, Hou Manhou silently counted down "three, two, one", threw the ** cylinder into the bunker, and detonated the explosives.
Then there was a loud bang, dust flew and the bunker was destroyed. Although the warriors tried to go in search of him, enemy fire stopped them.
However, a soldier saw Hou Manhou moving in the dust and shouted, "He's still alive!."Hou Manhou lay on the ground and shook off the dust on his body. The first bunker was successfully destroyed, but Hou Manhou was now the only target for enemy fire.
Knowing that he was in a difficult situation, he did not dare to stand up, and could only shout to the fighters behind him: "Give me two more explosives bags."
He wanted to destroy the enemy's second bunker in one go, but this time the difficulty was far greater than before, there was no suitable cover around, and if he rushed to the enemy's bunker like this, he would undoubtedly be killing himself.
Hou Manhou immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Blow up the front!."Before everyone could react, the battalion commander ordered the artillerymen to open fire in front of Hou Manhou, blowing up a crater. Hou Manhou took advantage of the cover of our army and the opportunity of the dust, and quickly jumped into the crater.
Soon, he came to the enemy's second bunker, and before the Vietnamese army had time to react in the bunker, he only saw a black figure flashing, so he understood that it must be the soldier who bombed the bunker just now.
Therefore, the Vietnamese army did not know how Hou Manhou ran to the front of the bunker, nor did they know how the explosives appeared in the bunker out of thin air, and the second bunker was soon blown up.
With both bunkers blown up, half of the obstacles in the way have been removed, and now only two bunkers remain. Due to the large spacing between the two bunkers, it is also very difficult.
However, Hou Manhou still worked hard, and after getting the explosive bag thrown by his comrades behind him, he solved the third bunker in less than 10 minutes. Now only the last bunker remains, and Hou Manhou was stunned by the impact after blowing it up.
When I woke up, the sound of gunfire rang out in my ears, and seeing that the enemy's four bunkers were destroyed, our troops began to charge, successfully taking Gaomao Mountain, and laying a solid foundation for a large-scale battle victory.
After the battle, the health officer found that Hou Manhou's leg was injured by a stray bullet, and there were no other injuries. At this time, Hou Manhou was only 19 years old, and he blew up four enemy bunkers with his own strength.
Organizationally, he was awarded the title of "Demolition Hero", and a mobilization meeting was held before the battle of Maoshan, calling on all soldiers to complete the task satisfactorily without fear of life and death, and live up to the trust of the party and the people.
After the meeting, Hou Manhou was very excited, at the age of young and strong, he wrote this paragraph: "After the mobilization meeting, I was very excited.
I am the son of a peasant, and I am willing to give everything for the motherland, and I am willing to participate in it, no matter how difficult the task is. This is the ambition to serve the country and the heart of a pure son is fully reflected in him.
Hou Manhou stayed away from the battlefield and engaged in an ordinary job in peacetime until 1997, when he transferred to work in Yichang Electric Power Survey and Design Institute.
Although Hou Manhou has won many honors, he has never been complacent because of this, and has always regarded himself as an ordinary worker, abiding by his duties and doing his job in a down-to-earth manner.
He dedicates himself to his work and tirelessly improves himself to become an innovative craftsman.
In the process of drying drawings, he found that the process cost is high, the efficiency of workers is low, after repeated research and summary, creatively combine the "tangram" structure with the drawing drying, which greatly improves the work efficiency and reduces the cost of the enterprise.
Hou Manhou is known for his "hard work", although some people advised him that he was not in good health and did not need to overwork, but he firmly said: "The past has become the past, and I want to do a good job in the present."
He is often the first to arrive and the last to leave his job, and he deeply practices the work concept of "doing a line, loving a line".
In addition, Hou Manhou did not want to cause trouble to the country, refused all "special" care, insisted on seeking medical treatment even when he was sick, and never let others accompany him. A life of simplicity and hardship, Hou Manhou has always been conscientious and conscientious, never forgetting his original intention.
In general, although Hou Manhou is a "blasting hero", he has always been humble and low-key, and works diligently. Although he has honor, he never thinks highly of himself, but yearns for the ordinary and has the courage to contribute.
Hou Manhou has never forgotten his original intention and kept moving forward, which is worth learning from Xi.
