In the forties and fifties of the last century, when the US military invaded the DPRK, China's volunteers took the initiative to assist the DPRK, which fully embodied the spirit of China's internationalism. In the process of support, the volunteers and the enemy army experienced many fierce battles, and one of them was deeply admired.
Once, when two soldiers encountered the enemy while transporting supplies, they took it upon themselves to shoot at the enemy without the consent of their superiors, thinking that they would be punished, but the 13 shots unexpectedly achieved results, and the two were awarded special merit for this.
In recognition of their heroic deeds, their deeds were heavily publicized and made known to many.
In 1950, the Third Automobile Regiment of the Volunteer Army undertook the heavy responsibility of transporting materials and the wounded during the tense stage of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. They were sent to the area around Sinxi County, where the battle was at its most tense, and enemy planes were constantly circling in the sky, ready to bomb at any time.
The most serious of these was when twenty-four enemy planes gathered in the sky, and the entire sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, forming a scene of black oppression. Hundreds of bombardments are carried out every day, and the peaceful and beautiful homes are destroyed in an instant.
Burning houses and fallen trees are everywhere and shocking. Despite the harsh environment, they were undaunted and persevered in completing their tasks, making an important contribution to the victory of the war.
Zhao Baoyin is a volunteer, and whenever he recalls those cruel scenes, his heart is filled with anger and pain. He had witnessed enemy planes dropping bombs on the house of an ordinary person, and as a result, all eight members of his family were killed in the house, and no one was spared.
In addition, only two of the thirteen soldiers survived the attack of the enemy in a squad of the Volunteer Army, and all the remaining eleven were killed. These painful memories made Zhao Baoyin's hatred for the enemy even deeper.
Because of the limited equipment of the volunteers, they could only send the army to support, and could not compete with the enemy's air force. Whenever enemy planes attacked, the volunteers could only hide in bomb shelters.
In order to protect themselves from exposing their targets, the troops have clear regulations that the volunteers on the ground are not allowed to shoot when enemy aircraft attack, otherwise it will lead to a larger **.
This made the enemy even more arrogant, their planes were getting lower and lower, and there were even enemy troops with pistols to shoot at ground targets. All this made Zhao Baoyin furious, and he was eager to shoot down these enemy planes with his ** one day.
Zhao Baoyin and Cao Xinren drove a car to deliver supplies on a dark night. Suddenly, they heard a roar, and Zhao Baoyin was keenly aware that it was an enemy plane.
They quickly hid the car and hid in a bomb shelter. The enemy troops left after bombing, but soon four more enemy planes flew in. Zhao Baoyin decided to use tactics flexibly, leaving only the driver to hide in the bomb shelter, while he and Cao Xinren stayed by the car to prepare for the battle.
Although Cao Xinren was worried that his superiors would not allow him to shoot at will, Zhao Baoyin insisted on his decision, and eventually they decided to take risks together.
When the enemy plane appeared in front of them, they decisively raised their rifles and fired a total of 13 rounds at the enemy plane. To their surprise, none of the thirteen bullets missed and accurately hit the enemy aircraft.
As the roar died down, they continued on their way, and after less than two kilometers, they saw an enemy plane emitting thick smoke.
When the chief of staff learned about this, not only did he not punish them, but said that he would make meritorious contributions to them. At the following commendation meeting, they were awarded special merits, and their heroic deeds spread throughout the army.
In order to inspire the whole team to learn from their spirit, they did not show mercy in the battle against the American imperialist invaders. This action of Zhao Baoyin and Cao Xinren made a good start for other volunteers, and after that, more and more volunteers seized the opportunity and successfully shot down enemy planes.
At this point, the enemy army can no longer be as arrogant as before.
The two heroes, Zhao Baoyin and Cao Xinren, defeated the enemy aircraft with their steps, proving that backward equipment is not impossible to turn around. They bravely attacked, showed the spirit of not flinching and not tolerating, and told us with practical actions that seizing the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy is the key to victory.
