After the ceremony, the chairman asked the delegation to leave some people to attend the third session of the first CPPCC session, General Du Ping personally selected people, and only Wang Wanxia, the representative of the heroic model of the 26th Army, was left.
At the banquet, General Du Ping also took Wang Wanxia to toast the prime minister and introduced him to the prime minister as the squad leader of the Zhong Hanging Mountain Blocking Hero Squad. After hearing this, the prime minister was very happy, shook Wang Wanxia's hand, and said to him: "You took four people and killed so many enemies, it's amazing!" ”
Next, let's take a look at Wang Wanxia's heroic deeds in the Zhonghang Mountain Resistance Battle.
At the beginning of the Fourth Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wang Wanxia, as the squad leader of the 2nd Company of the 228th Regiment of the 76th Division of the 26th Army of the Volunteer Army, accepted the task of holding the hill on the right side of the road on the right side of the Zhonghang Mountain position.
He immediately went with 4 warriors and began to strengthen the fortifications. The enemy launched a fierce attack on the hilltop, using 4 aircraft and 10 heavy artillery pieces to bombard it repeatedly, and sent a battalion of troops to attack.
Wang Wanxia and his comrades held their positions, and when the enemy approached the front line 15 meters, he shouted "hit", two machine guns and grenades fired in unison, and the enemy was repulsed and successfully defended.
During the enemy's attack, Wang Wanxia and his comrades were seriously wounded, but they also succeeded in discovering and exploiting the enemy's loopholes. In a fire attack, Wang Wanxia showed great courage and resourcefulness, and he not only succeeded in defeating the enemy with incendiary grenades, but also killed many more enemies with cannonballs.
After the battle, Wang Wanxia did not stop fighting, he continued to hold his ground and brought back more ammunition. In the ensuing battle, Wang Wanxia once again showed his valor, he managed to defeat the enemy's charge with cannonballs, buying precious time for the position.
In the end, Wang Wanxia and his comrades-in-arms successfully completed the task and retreated safely.
In the following time, the enemy continued to attack, and gradually found that there were only a few men in our position, so they launched an even more frantic attack. At this time, the comrades-in-arms were all seriously injured and could no longer fight, leaving only Wang Wanxia to hold the position alone.
After the seventh consecutive counterattack, Wang Wanxia found that four holes had been punched out of his hat, and he was in danger! If the bullet had gone any further, he would have died on the spot.
However, the holes gave him inspiration. With an idea, he placed his hat on a rock to attract enemy fire, while he hid and fought back.
In this way, Wang Wanxia held his position for two days and one night, repelled 16 enemy attacks, and killed 157 enemy soldiers. And his hat was pierced with a total of seventeen holes!
After the war, Wang Wanxia's deeds were reported by the Volunteer Army Headquarters, which recorded a first-class merit for him and awarded him the honorary title of "Second-Class Hero". And his class also won the title of "Zhonghang Mountain Blocking Hero Class".
