Ma New Year: After the end of the Shangganling Campaign, the heroes of the Shangganling Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, a name appeared on the list of military merits of each unit - "Ma New Year". This discovery surprised the fighters of the Political Department.
After careful verification, they were surprised to find that the "Ma New Year" was not the same name as many people, but that each unit was asking for credit for the same person. It turned out that this Ma Xinnian supported a whole 12 positions alone in the Battle of Shangganling, and each battle left an indelible feat.
He was the king of infantry in the Battle of Shangganling, the "judge of life and death" in the eyes of the US military, and a person was a unit. He belongs to the 86th Regiment of the 29th Division of the 15th Army of the Volunteer Army, and can be described as a real god-level soldier king.
1. Three famous battles took place during the bloody struggle to resist US aggression and aid Korea in Shangganling, witnessing the unyielding faith and tenacious spirit of the Chinese people. These three battles were "Bloody Battle of Shangganling", "Tieyuan Blocking Battle" and "Ice and Snow Changjin Lake".
Their tragedy is embarrassing, and it has become a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the US military, and it has been listed as a police model by the Academy of American Affairs. And the fifth battle in which the king of infantry was fought, the Battle of Shangganling, took place in 1952.
Under the foreshadowing of the first four battles, the Volunteer Army has mastered the dominance of ground operations, making them more and more comfortable in the confrontation with the United **. Before the start of the battle, the mentality of both sides had changed, and the US military no longer took the method of frontal fighting, and began to use large-scale artillery bombardment before the war.
Among them, the American general James Alward Van Vliet is a typical example. His shell consumption, which at one time caused a sensation in the United States, was called the "Van Vliet ammunition volume".
American politicians even accused him: "This is not a war, this is burning money, burning the blood and sweat of American capitalists!".And Van Vliet is also very firm: "Shut up the capitalists who will only enjoy, or let them go to the battlefield and fight the middle **!"”。These signs indicate the anxiety of the US military at this time.
Eventually, the Battle of Shangganling began on October 14 (the United States called it the "Battle of Triangle Mountain" because the terrain of Shangganling and the surrounding area was surrounded by mountains on three sides, forming a large triangular position).
Shangganling is located about 37 square kilometers, including two highlands, 5979 Highlands and 5377 heights, garrisoned by our troops, with only two reinforced companies. Van Vliet initially despised this position, believing that with only two companies of troops, we would be able to take the high ground in a day at most.
He even called reporters to prepare to record the battle so that he could spread the word of his heroism back home. The joint ** mobilized more than 60,000 troops to launch a positional assault on Shangganling. In addition, Van Vliet mobilized 300 howitzers, nearly 200 tanks, and more than 3,000 fighter planes.
In a full 11 days, from October 14 to October 25, the land of Shangganling was captured many times and recaptured by tenacious volunteer soldiers. Our troops held their positions only in flesh and blood, and there were not so many artillery and aircraft.
After the war, a body of bones was everywhere and devastated, 597The top of the 9 highlands was cut off by two meters, and the blood accumulated on the mountain gathered into a river to flow down the mountain, and the entire position was dyed a blood-red, so it was called "Shangganling in the bloody battle".
Two companies of the 115th Regiment of the 45th Division of the 3rd Corps were stationed in Shangganling, of which Ma Xinnian's unit was the 86th Regiment of the 29th Division, which was responsible for reinforcing 5979 Heights. When they arrived at the position, it happened to be the time when the American troops launched the clarion call for the charge.
At this moment, the highlands are full of large pits, the air is filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and the corpses of many comrades-in-arms lie on the ground. The soldiers of the 86th Regiment were also stunned by this scene, while the soldiers stationed in front were still fighting. Ma Xinnian took the lead in rushing to the position, raised his gun and fired, and shot the head of the American troops at the front. "Good marksmanship, brother, which part?
The soldier who was defending in the trench next to him glanced back and said loudly, the sound shook Ma Xinnian's ears a little, and he couldn't help but figure it out, presumably this comrade-in-arms had already sounded in his ears under the fire of the American army, so the sound was so loud.
Ma Xinnian leaned close to his ear and responded loudly: "I am Ma Xinnian, a soldier of the 86th Regiment, don't worry, brother, we are here to support!."As he spoke, he raised his gun and fired another shot, killing an enemy. This article mainly tells the story of the Ma New Year soldiers who fought bravely in the war.
In battle, he showed firm determination and the spirit of not fearing life and death, regardless of his personal safety, and displayed a tenacious will to fight and outstanding combat skills.
This is a bloody story of heroic deeds of a soldier on the battlefield, who braved life and death, and showed excellent combat skills and firm determination in battle.
In a battle to defend his position, he fought bloodily with his comrades, even if he was seriously wounded, he did not flinch, and finally with his tenacious will and excellent combat skills, he successfully repelled the enemy's attack, showing the bravery and fearlessness of a true warrior.
597.There are a total of 12 positions in the 9th heights, of which the positions of the 9th and 11th positions are the most important. Position 9 is located at the front of the main peak, while position 11 sits on a small hill beam and is a fortress on the side.
The soldiers Ma Xinnian rushed all the way, advanced from the back mountain to the front mountain, engaged in fierce battles with the enemy in the forward position, and successfully repelled the enemy before returning the same way. In the next 5 days of fighting, he crossed 12 positions, and the way of fighting with injuries and lives greatly boosted morale, and even made the American troops hide from this "living Hades" in all directions.
At the end of the battle, the platoon and company commanders of each unit submitted a list of their exploits, each of which contained the name of Ma Xin. The Political Department was also surprised when it learned of Ma Xinnian's heroic performance in the battle, and the political commissar of the regiment applied for special merit for him, making him one of the 231 "special meritorious heroes".
