As we all know, Qin Jiwei is an outstanding figure among the generals of our army, since he joined the revolutionary work at the age of 13, he has experienced countless battles in his life, and has seen countless big scenes, but the most impressive thing left him is the battle of Shangganling, in his later years he returned to Shangganling, mourning and remembering those sacrificed comrades-in-arms, recalling the years of the Anti-Japanese War, he couldn't help but sigh: the tragedy of this war is unprecedented for him.
During the work in Shangganling, there were staff looking for opportunities to shoot a few photos of Qin Jiwei and other generals together, one of which was Li Baocheng, when he was just 25 years old, was the commander of the army, joined the army in 1946, and had made many meritorious contributions during the Liberation War, after entering the Korean battlefield, he was originally working in the military guard company, he had taken the initiative to return to the front line several times to fight, and was one of the youngest company commanders in the 15th Army at that time.
In October 1952, he led the soldiers of the 8th Company to participate in the Battle of Shangganling, when they were responsible for holding 597In the No. 1 tunnel in the 9th Heights, due to the very difficult combat conditions at that time, the US army bombed our army's logistics and transportation routes several times, which directly led to the lack of food and clothing for the volunteers on the battlefield, and the conditions of the Eighth Company were even more difficult, but they held on to it for 14 days and nights with their tenacious will to fight, repelled many enemy attacks, and successfully annihilated 1,760 enemy troops.
At the end of the war, only 8 people remained alive in the entire company, and in the process of their withdrawal from the battlefield, they encountered an enemy ambush again, and two soldiers died as a result, Li Baocheng was fortunate to survive the war, and then won the honor of individual second-class merit and collective special merit, and since then, the fame of the eighth company of Shangganling special merit has spread farther and farther. Later, the movie "Shangganling" also used him as the prototype to create Zhang Zhongfa, the commander of the Eighth Company of the Gang, which was deeply admired and loved by the audience and friends.
Later, he returned to China with the Volunteer Army, and successively served as chief of staff, regiment commander and other positions. During the National Day in 1961, he was also invited to watch the ceremony, and other leaders personally received him, and the next year he participated in the third party congress of the Air Force, and was once again received by ***. In the turbulent times, he still stuck to the bottom line, and in the 70s, he served as the deputy commander of the Airborne Forces, and finally retired to the second line in 1983, and died of illness in 2005.
In addition, there is a ** taken by Qin Jiwei and Zhang Yunyu when they were studying the combat map, Qin Jiwei once said that Zhang Yunyu was one of his two best chiefs of staff. When the Shangganling Campaign was going on, he made three inroads into the Five Holy Mountains, which provided favorable information for the determination of the specific operational direction of our army. During the battle, Zhang Yunyu has always been the first soldier, even if the enemy's artillery fire is fierce, he still insists on doing it himself, which greatly boosts morale.
In the seventies, he was appointed deputy chief of staff of the large military region, as a soldier he is very good, in peacetime, he participated in the command of the test explosion of China's first atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, made great contributions to national defense construction, and finally died of illness in 2008.
For the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Qin Jiwei has always had a very deep impression, in 1986, Qin Jiwei came to North Korea to visit, during this period, he deliberately came to the place where the battle took place, that day, Qin Jiwei's expression has been very serious, basically did not say anything, the whole body is haunted in grief, came here and he recalled the tragedy of the battle, but also more nostalgic for those comrades who had fought together.
Later, he took the opportunity to go to Jinhua, and then took a car to a high ground in Wusheng Mountain, where the martyr Huang Jiguang was buried, Qin Jiwei bowed deeply in front of his tomb, and then looked at 597 through a telescope for a long time9 Heights, once again to remember and mourn the volunteers who died here. In his later years, whenever he mentioned this battle, he would say that the battle was unprecedented.
