In the early morning of October 19, 1952, an extremely brutal battle broke out in the No. 6, No. 5, No. 4, and No. 0 positions in Shangganling, with continuous cannon fire and pungent gunpowder smoke on the ground.
At the risk of sacrifice, three female hygienists, Wang Qingzhen, He Chengjun, and Guan Yizhi, rushed into the dilapidated bunker, carried out the bodies of Huang Jiguang and other volunteer soldiers, and hid them in the grove near the shelter.
Next, they carried out a simple treatment of Huang Jiguang's body, and many years later, Wang Qingzhen said with regret: "I missed one thing back then!" ”
So, what did Wang Qingzhen miss that made her feel so sorry.
Huang Jiguang was only 21 years old when he died, and he was in his prime and had a great future. If Huang Jiguang had not sacrificed, he would have his own family, a beautiful wife and lovely children ...... in the future
* Wang Qingzhen is also quite young, only 15 years old when he came to Korea to participate in the war in 1951, they are all a group of big children, heroes who have made meritorious contributions to China.
When Wang Qingzhen and others brought Huang Jiguang's body back, they found that their whole body was stiff, and they maintained a posture of holding their hands high and lying on the bunker.
When the war correspondent heard about it, he immediately ran over and wanted to take a photo of Huang Jiguang. ** They did not pay attention to it, and it was difficult to lift the body up, and let the reporters take pictures to record the appearance of the hero after sacrificing for the country.
Wang Qingzhen was shocked to find that Huang Jiguang's chest had long been blackened by gunpowder, and when he opened his coat when disposing of the body, he found that there were dense gun holes on his chest, like honeycombs.
The bullets passed through Huang Jiguang's chest, pierced through the clothes on his back, and pierced the kettle hanging behind his back, and the blood that flowed down stuck the clothes and the body together.
Huang Jiguang can't go directly into the soil like this, so he has to change into a new set of clothes for him and leave cleanly.
The clothes and pants on Huang Jiguang's body were so broken that they couldn't take them off directly, so they could only cut them off slowly with scissors, and then clean up one part by one and put on new clothes and pants.
When dealing with Huang Jiguang's body, they found a new problem.
* They found that Huang Jiguang's hands were always held high, and he couldn't put on new clothes for him at all, so he had to pull his hands down.
For this reason, they have tried to use brute force, but no matter how hard they use, they can't adjust the posture of Huang Jiguang's hands.
Wang Qingzhen had an idea, and thought of using hot water to compress Huang Jiguang's arms and joints softly, and then put on new clothes for him.
At that time, the Korean Peninsula was quite cold, and the conditions of the front-line positions were very poor.
*We can only burn it, and burn it with waste oil drums.
In this process, Wang Qingzhen also had to grasp the temperature of the water, it was too hot, not only could not make Huang Jiguang's joints soft again, but also might hurt his **.
Therefore, Wang Qingzhen was extremely careful, and used his hands to measure the water temperature without a thermometer, and the three ** took turns to cover Huang Jiguang's arms, and after two or three days of hard work, his joints were finally soft, and new clothes were put on.
After doing everything, Wang Qingzhen and others handed over Huang Jiguang's body and let the other soldiers go for burial.
This kind of work, Wang Qingzhen and others are doing it almost every day, Huang Jiguang's body is still completely preserved, some soldiers were blown to pieces, and there is not even a complete body, and some can't even find the body.
No matter how tragic it is, the battlefield ** has a heart of awe, and they will tidy up the appearance of the sacrificed soldiers and let the heroes walk decently.
Wang Qingzhen didn't know at that time that Huang Jiguang would later become famous in Chinese textbooks and become a hero respected by the whole nation.
In October 1997, Wang Qingzhen got together with the ** people on the battlefield in North Korea that year, and they inevitably discussed the past and talked about Huang Jiguang.
Wang Qingzhen said: "It's a pity, we should have kept Comrade Huang Jiguang's clothes at that time, so that the people can remember and admire, this is a precious treasure ......."”
A soldier of the people, the loveliest person, a hero of the whole Chinese people. It is indeed a great pity that Huang Jiguang sacrificed for the peace of the motherland and did not leave anything of commemorative significance.
The direction of the wind has changed, and so has the concept of society. In that prosperous era, everyone cherished the motherland and the cohesion was very high. With the change of the times, some people have become more and more scornful of the past, and some people even doubt the value of the sacrifice of heroes such as Huang Jiguang, who are typical egoists and have no national righteousness.
Huang Jiguang was a heroic representative in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and his spirit of sacrificing his life for righteousness and not being afraid of sacrifice will never go out of fashion, and that is the foundation for a country and nation to be able to maintain long-term peace and stability, and to prosper and become strong.
