On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the great War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, a war blockbuster "King Kong River" directed by three well-known directors and starring many tens of billions of stars is about to be released, which has attracted the attention of the audience.
Compared with those films depicting the bloody battle between the Chinese People's Volunteers and the US Army to the end, "King Kong River" pays more attention to showing the bravery and fearlessness of the engineers and air defense soldiers under the indiscriminate bombing of enemy aircraft, as well as their fighting spirit and selfless dedication.
The concept of this film is novel and unique, fully embodying the idea of peace and humanism in the new era, which is comparable to Hollywood's "Hacksaw Ridge" and other masterpieces that promote humanitarian feelings.
Today we come to meet a hero who struggled in the "big rear" and whose deeds are no less shocking. He actually used his body as a rail screw to withstand tens of millions of tons of military trains passing over his shoulders, and successfully protected 18 military vehicles from enemy bombing.
This real "superman" is the hero of the volunteer railway soldiers: Shi Fumin, from Leting County, Hebei Province.
Railway Soldiers: The Mainstay of New China's Construction Against the background of the backward transportation of old China, in order to change this situation, New China specially set up this iron and steel force -- the Railway Soldiers.
In the wars to resist US aggression and aid Korea, to resist US aggression and aid Vietnam, they made many meritorious deeds and shouldered heavy responsibilities for the logistics and transportation of the volunteers. Although the US military had absolute air superiority and carried out a ruthless "strangulation war" against the railway and road transportation of the Chinese People's Volunteers, the railway soldiers, with their indomitable spirit and rudimentary tools, repaired the roads and bridges blown up by enemy planes again and again, and the danger and price paid were no less than those of the soldiers on the front line.
Therefore, this volunteer army unit that does not carry guns has also emerged many combat heroes. In the years of peace, they made great contributions to the construction of railways in New China, and they can be said to be the troops who made the greatest contribution and sacrificed the most in the years of peace.
Shi Fumin, deputy squad leader of the 5th Company of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Railway Corps. In December 1951, his unit was responsible for repairing the K33 railway bridge, which had been blown up by enemy aircraft. Shi Fumin and his comrades-in-arms began to urgently repair the railway without waiting for the smoke to clear, but in the end they found that there were still two steel rails that could not be connected because of the lack of a special type of screw.
If these two sections of steel rails are not connected, the 18 military columns full of artillery, military vehicles, and tanks waiting to pass will be threatened by enemy planes, causing great losses.
Faced with this emergency, Shi Fumin stood up and asked the company commander for his life: "Company commander, I'll go!" The company commander asked him, "Do you have screws?" Shi Fumin replied firmly: "When am I still joking?"
I don't have a screw, but I'm willing to act as one! ”
The company commander looked at him in surprise and said, "Are you crazy?" Don't know the weight of a military vehicle? Your shoulders don't look like they're made of iron! Shi Fumin said firmly: "Company commander, my shoulders are not beaten with iron, but I have decided to let go out and not let the enemy planes come back and act recklessly!"
Even if I die, I will die by the rails! The officers and men of the railway soldiers present knew that this was extremely dangerous and did not grasp success, but they also knew that this was the heroic performance of the railway soldiers at a critical moment.
Although no one believed that Shi Fumin could succeed, they were all deeply moved by Shi Fumin's heroic spirit of coexisting and dying with his mission. With tears in his eyes, the company commander nodded. Shi Fumin immediately picked up the wrench, walked to the rail with the missing screw, inserted a section of steel rod into the rail, and then fixed it tightly with the wrench.
A column of military vehicles rumbled, and everyone with common sense of life knew that the energy possessed by huge and fast objects was so great that it could not be borne by the human body at all.
Every time the wheel passed, Shi Fumin tried his best, but the wrench still vibrated violently, so that his tiger's mouth almost broke. However, Shi Fumin gritted his teeth and persevered!
A military vehicle galloped by, the sweat on the back of Shi Fumin's cotton coat was clearly visible, and his comrades-in-arms surrounded him, expressing deep admiration for him and asking to replace his place.
However, Shi Fumin firmly refused, confidently saying that he had mastered the skills of operating the wrench and had a deep understanding of the importance of the task.
The company commander and other comrades-in-arms had no choice but to retreat. Shi Fumin was like an iron man made of steel, with the strong will of the earth-shattering ghosts and gods, he tightly guarded the steel tracks, turned into an indestructible "human screw", and sent away 18 military trains.
His great deeds are amazing and admired, and he was not only awarded a first-class meritorious service by the Volunteer Army Headquarters, but also awarded the Order of the National Flag of the First Class by the DPRK. This story is even more shocking than the movie "King Kong River", directors, can you shoot it?
