In 1984, the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack broke out, and in order to seize the advantageous terrain, the superior leaders ordered the capture of Heights 39 at night. On this blazing night, skirmishes broke out constantly, and the sparks of bombs flickered ten meters away.
The warriors bravely moved forward regardless of life and death, but suddenly a wave of qi hit, and the warriors fell like rows of chopped bamboo shoots. What's even more worrying is that squad leader Chen Hongyuan also lost contact with the large army.
The soldiers searched relentlessly on the smoky battlefield, and for four days there was no news. The company commander was so anxious that he had to issue an order: "Be sure to find Chen Hongyuan!" ”
However, Chen Hongyuan's chances of survival were almost minimal, and the soldiers' eyes were filled with tears, hoping to find the body of the squad leader. However, the good news came, and the fighters at the front rejoiced: "Found it!" Chen Hongyuan has found it, and he is still alive! ”
So, how did Chen Hongyuan survive the treacherous war? What did he experience in these four days and three nights?
During the fierce exchange of fire with the Vietnamese army, Chen Hongyuan was catapulted by a huge wave of air and fell into a coma. When he awoke, he found shortness of breath and tightness in his chest, and his eyes were dark, and he realized that he was buried in the dead branches and dirt.
Luckily, Vietnam's humid climate made the soil soft, and Chen struggled to eventually poke his head out of the pit. However, it was surrounded by a thick fog and could not see the direction clearly.
Although he encountered the danger of life and death, Chen Hongyuan still breathed firmly, looking forward to finding a way out of survival as soon as possible.
Dangerously lost, Chen Hongyuan struggled at the edge of the swamp. In the end, he decided to get out of the pit safely first and wait for the opportunity to find troops. With the deafening sound of artillery bombardment, he realized that the battle was still going on, and he didn't know how the battle was going now.
Minor abrasions on his body had no effect on his walking, but he was deeply troubled by the fact that he was empty of ammunition. Last night's mission was to capture Heights 39, and now the results are unknown. The surrounding mountains are densely forested, foggy, and visibility is extremely low.
He took out the kettle to replenish his strength, only to find that the bottom of the kettle was missing.
He looked at the bullet marks on the kettle and suddenly realized: this seemingly ordinary kettle had just saved his life, blocking several bullets like an iron can! "Kettle, kettle, thank you for saving me! "
There was no one around, and Chen Hongyuan's heart swelled with endless emotion, and he decided to bury the kettle deep in the loess as a sign of respect. However, Chen Hongyuan, who was thirsty, knew that he had to find a source of water.
As the sun slowly rose, thousands of rays of sunlight pierced through the white mist and illuminated his surroundings. At this time, Chen Hongyuan realized that there were the remains of martyrs everywhere around him, they were either hanging from trees or with mutilated limbs, and the ground was soaked in dark red blood, making it impossible to look at them directly.
Chen Hongyuan's heart was full of grief and indignation, he struggled to stand up, staggered to his comrades-in-arms, and saluted them: "Don't worry, brothers, as long as I am alive, I will definitely let them pay for their blood debts!" ”
After saying that, he bowed deeply to them. He then searched the bodies of the martyrs, hoping to find some remaining ammunition for the guns. Fortunately, the martyrs were well equipped and he stuffed his pockets.
He thought that the task was not yet completed, and if he acted rashly, he might attract enemies, and these ** could also protect themselves. But the most important thing at this time is to find a source of water. According to his memories of the nearby terrain, he carried a gun, lay on his stomach, and moved in the direction of the battlefield.
Chen Hongyuan stepped on the barren grass cautiously, and there was a rustling sound in his ears. Suddenly, he heard the sound of running water, and his heart was excited, and he was about to approach the water source to replenish supplies.
But on second thought, there may be people moving near the water source, what if there is an enemy ambush nearby? So he endured his hunger and thirst, endured his temperament, and approached the water source step by step.
As the distance closes, the sound of the water becomes louder and louder. At this time, he found that the place he walked was covered with shiny bullet casings, and the dense bullet casings reflected the light, and Chen Hongyuan couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good.
There must have been a fierce battle here, and there were unknown dangers everywhere. Chen Hongyuan swallowed his saliva gently, lay on the ground quietly, supported the ground with his elbows, and moved slowly and carefully.
Fortunately, there are half-human-tall wild grass all around, which can well shade Chen Hongyuan. At this moment, through the weeds, he noticed a red light flashing in front of him.
Chen Hongyuan stopped suddenly, surprised in his heart. What is that red dot? Is it infrared? Or is it reconnaissance equipment? Chen Hongyuan stared at the small red dot and suddenly realized that it might be fireworks, which meant that someone was nearby.
His heart instantly lifted, if it was a friendly army, this place would have become their base a long time ago, and they would not hide here. He looked ahead at the heights ahead, where thatched huts and trenches were hidden, and not far away was Heights 39, which they were about to capture.
The front is surrounded by barbed wire, which may be the enemy's cordon.
Chen Hongyuan accidentally broke into the enemy camp on the battlefield, and he was shouldered with the task of occupying Heights 39 given last night, as well as those brothers who died in the war.
His hand couldn't help but feel for the gun behind his back, and he knew that it was his duty as a soldier to complete the task no matter what. He looked at the surrounding trenches and made a decision: since he was here, he would break into the enemy camp.
Chen Hongyuan was prostrate in the grass, his eyes staring intently at the flickering red dot. He slowly reached out and picked up a stone, which he threw through the mist towards the red dot.
Immediately a head wearing a military helmet came out of the cat's ear hole in the trench. Chen Hongyuan was overjoyed, it was indeed the enemy's lurking outpost.
However, in order to approach the cordon, it is necessary to kill the lurking post first. Chen Hongyuan took a deep breath, then held his breath, and with all his strength, smashed the stone in his hand at the lurking post with unmistakable accuracy.
The outpost immediately fell and never got up again. Chen Hongyuan's heart was filled with the joy of victory, and he knew that his task was half accomplished. He will continue to move forward to fulfill his mission and bring glory to those brothers who have sacrificed.
He lay quietly in the grass, quietly listening to the cursing of the Vietnamese army's lurking post, and then quietly returned to the trench and hid in the cat's ear hole. Chen Hongyuan quickly made a decision, hanging his body as low as possible, reducing contact with dirt and weeds, and cautiously approaching the cat's ear hole of the lurking post step by step.
As he approached the cat's ear hole, he aimed his gun at the hidden Vietnamese soldiers, but he knew that if he fired, he could attract enemy troops. However, Chen Hongyuan has his own strategy, and he is determined to lure the snake out of the hole.
So, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, and a few screams of pain came from the cat's ear hole, and then there was silence. At the same time, the deafening sound of gunfire attracted the Vietnamese army, and Chen Hongyuan immediately got into the cat's ear hole, held his breath, and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.
Soon, several scouts came to the vicinity of the cat's ear hole, and Chen Hongyuan took advantage of their unpreparedness to quickly shoot and easily solve these scouts.
He jumped out of the cat's ear hole, scavenged the scout's remaining ** equipment, and then ran to the stream to drink water, ready to show off his skills. At this time, the mountain fog has completely dissipated, and the lush trees and birds hovering overhead make for a beautiful picture.
Despite the sound of shells in the distance, there is still a lot of silence. Chen Hongyuan took a deep breath of fresh air, and he was fully prepared in order to seize the No. 39 heights, complete the task, and end the war as soon as possible.
So, he took a determined step and climbed towards the heights. Through the barbed wire, he found several Vietnamese soldiers patrolling inside. The incident that had just happened did not alert them, which gave Chen Hongyuan a perfect opportunity.
He looked around and saw a large tree nearby, so he quickly flashed behind the tree and turned sideways to observe the soldiers.
Chen Hongyuan nervously held the machine gun and stared at everything around him. Several Vietnamese soldiers mounted anti-aircraft machine guns and spoke Vietnamese from time to time in Vietnamese that Chen Hongyuan did not understand. Noticing the unusually quiet outside the barbed wire, they sent someone to investigate.
Chen Hongyuan hid behind a tree, trying to avoid their gaze, and his palms were sweating with nervousness. Just when he thought he had been discovered, the Vietnamese soldiers let their guard down.
Chen Hongyuan took the opportunity to pick up a stone, divert their attention, and then quickly threw it out of the iron net. The weeds outside the wire fence were hit by stones, and the Vietnamese soldiers immediately reacted and began to shoot frantically outside the wire fence.
Chen Hongyuan quickly walked around behind the tree and picked up a grenade. He carefully observed the movements of the Vietnamese soldiers, and while they were defenseless, he pulled out the bolt of the grenade and threw it at them.
With a bang, several Vietnamese soldiers were blown to pieces.
Chen Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked out from behind the tree. Looking at the cave and the surrounding trenches in the distance, he knew that there must be more than just these Vietnamese soldiers here. The fact that so many Vietnamese soldiers are stationed at a single security station shows that the importance of this place is self-evident.
He began to count his booty and found that he had captured two mortars and six boxes of shells by himself, which was undoubtedly a good harvest. Chen Hongyuan's confidence doubled, and he remembered that Guan Yu rode alone for thousands of miles in ancient times, and today he will kill the Vietnamese soldiers alone.
He carried the ** on his back, slowly approached the cave, and came to the entrance of the cave with bated breath. At this time, he noticed that not only the voices of Vietnamese soldiers could be heard from inside the cave, but also the clear sound of telegrams.
Here, is it the command office?
Chen Hongyuan was full of joy, if he could break the command office in one fell swoop, the remaining Vietnamese soldiers would not have to worry. He was considering whether to rush into the cave immediately when a sound of footsteps came from the empty cave, and Chen Hongyuan realized that Vietnamese soldiers were coming towards the entrance of the cave.
He hid on the side of the cave, shielded himself with stones, and crouched carefully on the ground to minimize his presence. When the Vietnamese soldiers walked out of the cave, Chen Hongyuan's gaze followed.
Soon, they discovered that a fierce battle had just taken place near the hole in front of them. They immediately ran back in a panic, babbling something out of their mouths.
Chen Hongyuan seized this opportunity, decisively pulled the trigger, and several bullets "whizzed" towards their backs, and the Vietnamese soldiers fell to the ground and fell into a pool of blood.
Having killed more than a dozen Vietnamese soldiers, Chen Hongyuan was becoming more and more heroic, his eyes on the thatched hut and the cave in the distance, and he knew that a difficult battle awaited him.
Without hesitation, he looked into the dark cave and quickly dived in. With the help of the faint light, he found that in the cave, the Vietnamese soldiers had built a long passage, which was undoubtedly connected to their command office.
However, Chen Hongyuan did not know the direction of the passage, so he took out the grenade while listening to the direction from which the telegraph was coming from, and cautiously groped forward. Soon after, he successfully approached the target location, but at this time, two Vietnamese soldiers noticed something unusual, and just as they were about to come out to check, Chen Hongyuan decisively threw a grenade.
The sudden ** sound caused the stones and dirt on the top of the cave to fall, and the two Vietnamese soldiers lying on the ground had stopped breathing. Chen Hongyuan immediately rushed away in the direction of the telegram, only to see several soldiers in the cave looking frightened and anxiously sending telegrams, as if they were asking for help from the outside world.
Before they could finish sending the telegram, Chen Hongyuan raised the machine gun in his hand and decisively eliminated them, and the scene inside the cave was a mess. Looking at the flashing red signal lights and the sound of "Didi" telegrams, Chen Hongyuan decisively took out a grenade and completely destroyed the entire cave.
After that, he continued his search and soon found the soldiers' quarters.
Chen Hongyuan used the corner under the bed to hide on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, and the box under the bed became his cover, allowing him to observe the situation at the door and ensure his safety.
* caught the attention of several Vietnamese soldiers, who blindly strafed the room, not knowing where Tran was hiding. When a soldier tried to probe the situation, Chen Hongyuan took aim at him with tact, and shot decisively, knocking him to the ground.
Then, a soldier threw a grenade in an attempt to lure Chen Hongyuan out, but Chen Hongyuan quickly threw the grenade back at the moment when it was about to be **. However, the grenade exploded only in mid-air, and the fragments pierced deep into his left wrist.
He gritted his teeth and pulled the pieces out.
During the battle, Chen Hongyuan was wounded, but the crisis remained. He faces not only the threat of enemies, but also the terrifying wolfdogs. He decided to be unyielding and engage in a fierce battle with the wolfdogs.
Faced with an irresistible pack of wolfdogs, he kept firing with his gun until the last one fell. Then, the enemy's attack came again, and Chen Hongyuan did not hesitate, picked up his gun, and rushed out of the battle.
He firmly believes that the mission of a soldier is to fight for his country, and even in the face of death, he must show heroic demeanor and never be a coward.
Chen Hongyuan carried a machine gun on his back, strafing as he walked, and was ready to use a grenade to die with the enemy. However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, a bullet came from the opposite side, piercing his helmet and burrowing into his left eyebrow bone.
Blood blurred his vision, and his eyes were red. Chen Hongyuan staggered and almost fell. He tried to pull the bolt of the grenade, but at this moment more gunfire rang out.
However, Chen Hongyuan did not feel pain, as he heard the familiar sound of the charge horn, as well as the shouts from the Chinese People's Liberation Army. "Rush! "His heart was full of courage.
He looked outside at Heights 39 and saw all the soldiers of his own country, who had rushed to the heights, while dozens of corpses of Vietnamese soldiers lay on the ground.
When they stepped into the cave, they found that the facility used to send the telegram had been blown up beyond recognition. At this moment, several Vietnamese soldiers rushed out of another cave, and before they could raise their guns, they were swept away by our People's Liberation Army.
At the last moment of his life, Chen Hongyuan struggled and shouted towards the entrance of the cave: "Who are you? Hearing the familiar Chinese dialect, someone immediately responded: "We captured Heights 39, who are you, comrade?" ”
This voice Chen Hongyuan is very familiar with, it is their Zhou instructor! Tears of joy were mixed with blood, and Chen Hongyuan only had time to shout: "Instructor Zhou", and then completely fainted.
When Chen Hongyuan opened his eyes again, several days had passed.
It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. That's exactly what he believes in life. Therefore, on September 4, 1984, the ** Military Commission awarded him the honorary title of "Lone Hero".
Although he is blind in his left eye, Chen Hongyuan still adheres to his mission, adheres to his duties, practices the glory of a soldier with his actions, and protects his loyalty and perseverance, making him a model for our contemporaries.
