The Bright Sword of Changjin Lake becomes stronger

Chapter 40 The prototype of the previous chapter is the battle hero Guan Chonggui
(The following is the content of paying tribute to the martyrs, which can be skipped)

In 1950, U.S. imperialism brazenly launched the Korean War, blatantly crossed the [-]th parallel and clamored to threaten our border.After careful consideration by the central government, it was decided to call on the people of the whole country to resist the United States and aid Korea, and to defend the country!

At this time, Guan Chonggui was already a glorious member of the Communist Party. He actively responded to the call and resolutely joined the Chinese People's Volunteers. In June of the same year, he followed Commander Peng Dehuai to the Korean battlefield.

In Beiping in June, the sun was scorching the earth and Guan Chonggui's heart. He felt unprecedented anxiety, which was mixed with excitement and his own blood.

As time went on, as he went north, he became more and more calm. The long journey soothed his emotions until he completely crossed the Yalu River.

Along the way, his mind is full of fragments of his life in the past 20 years. The Japanese who appeared on Beimanshan Road are lingering in his mind, and he really wants to make contributions.

The moment the team stepped into the Korean battlefield, he looked back in the direction of his motherland. There were people waiting for him to go home, so he naturally wanted to go back.

Immediately afterwards, he handed over his fate to the party and the thousands of people behind him!

Guan Chonggui, who struggled to make a living since he was a child, is very brave on the battlefield, he never flinches when he charges forward, and he gradually grows up.Because he gets along well with his comrades-in-arms, Guan Chonggui is very popular in the army.

As time progresses, the situation of the war is changing rapidly. In February 1951, before the severe winter in North Korea, Guan Chonggui received a very important task.

At that time, his team was stationed near Height 614 in Longtouli. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking from above, the hill in front of Height 614 must be firmly controlled by the volunteers.

This mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are no solid fortifications at present. It is not a simple matter to stick to it.The company commander told Guan Chonggui that he had to take the machine gun crew to hold on to the main position to repel the attack until the battlefield of 614 Heights was completely won.

After receiving the order, Guan Chonggui did not hesitate at all. He saluted the company commander: "Please rest assured, the instructor, if I am here, the position will be there!"

Afterwards, he led the machine gun crew and groped towards the hill.Unexpectedly, looking at the short distance, because the enemy's firepower was too fierce, when they actually reached the top of the mountain, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

In the Korean night at the end of winter, the withered grass was mixed with frost, and the cold air dissipated into fog. Guan Chonggui and his comrades squatted on the side of the mound of soil on the top of the hill, and began to build fortifications.

Since entering the DPRK to fight, after several twists and turns, the military shovel, which was originally bigger than a cattail fan, is now smaller than the size of a palm.Guan Chonggui went down with a shovel, and the frozen ground on the top of the hill only had a deep mark of frost, which showed the fact that this task was extremely difficult.

Everyone didn't speak, just kept digging the bunker trenches with shovels and picks.The cold air invaded, and soon, blood blisters appeared on everyone's hands, and the frozen hands repeated the action of digging like a machine.

The sky was pale, and they finally completed the construction of the combat bunker trenches.In the state of observing the surroundings in turn, the few people quickly stuffed their stomachs with dry food. Not long after, the enemy began to attack the main position again.

At that time, the U.S. military adopted the "butcher's operation" combat plan, with fighter planes suppressing at low altitude, cannon rear support, and the army's front-end charge as the main combat method.In the process of continuously advancing the flames of war, the Chinese and North Korean troops are not given a chance to breathe.

Guan Chonggui watched the enemy's continuous firepower approaching the main position, and he knew that the U.S. military hadn't expected that they had captured the hill next to 614.But this position is not easy to get, and he can't expose it without orders from his superiors.

Suddenly, four enemy fighter planes appeared one after another from the nearby hills, projected at low altitude, and circled around the main position continuously, full of provocation.

Guan Chonggui was very angry when he saw it. He thought to himself, when he had an anti-aircraft gun in his hand, he would have to shoot down this Yankee's broken plane and smash it to pieces!

After rounds of dives, strafing, and bombing, the main position suffered heavy casualties, and everyone was gritting their teeth to hold on.Nearly half an hour later, the enemy fighter planes were short of firepower, and the ground troops began to charge.

Guan Chonggui was very angry, but he was still waiting, waiting for the main force of the enemy to enter the range of the machine guns.Three seconds, two seconds, one second, Guan Chonggui stood up, set up the machine gun and fired.

Obviously, the enemy army was confused by the sudden high-level strafing, and the firepower was too strong, and they were soon defeated.The enemy retreated, and the location of the hill was exposed, but a more intense life-and-death struggle was yet to come.

After a long time, the enemy fighter planes roared again, and two of them went straight to the vicinity of the hill.The fighter plane that swooped down from behind kept firing and bombing. Guan Chonggui held the machine gun firmly under his body.

The fighter planes flew close to the high ground, seeing that the fortifications could hardly withstand it, and the comrades were still around, the main position had to be defended, life and death were on the line, Guan Chonggui couldn't care less about anything.Rather than waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the enemy fighter plane flying upwards, he picked up the machine gun and stood up, erected the machine gun on the edge of the ditch, and aimed at the fighter plane with a shuttle!Eight rounds went out and missed.However, the enemy army obviously didn't expect someone to sweep the plane with machine guns, so they were taken aback and changed direction.

Guan Chonggui was obviously exposed. His comrades pulled him hard and asked him to find a cover to hide, but Guan Chonggui made up his mind and used himself as a target to attract enemy fighters away from the main position.

Soon, the second fighter plane roared over, and Guan Chonggui shot over again!A shuttle!This time he specifically used the "advanced amount" knowledge he had learned in the army at that time, with the aim of hitting fast-moving targets.

Eight bullets passed, and the fighter plane flew away from the hill and flew towards the mountain behind.Guan Chonggui's mind roared, but he heard cheers from the main position: "It hit!" Not long after, the sound of explosions in the mountains behind was very clear.

Everyone was ecstatic, but his comrades still tried to dissuade Guan Chonggui. It was a violation of discipline for him to shoot a plane with a machine gun. What should we do?Guan Chonggui didn't take it seriously, anyway, the enemy fighter planes had already fled, so the main position must have been saved.

This battle was a big victory, and the story of Guan Chonggui's machine gun shooting the plane spread throughout the volunteer army. Everyone hoped that this victory would ease the punishment of this comrade by his superiors.

The battalion reported to the regiment, the regiment reported to the army, and then it was reported step by step, and finally it was passed to the commander at this time.

The commander who heard the news not only did not blame, but also laughed and said: Rules are dead, but people are alive.It's not impossible for the Yankee's plane to be shot down, and this fighter should be credited with special merit.

In this way, Guan Chonggui successfully won the special merit once with the title of "Machine Gun Fighting Aircraft No. 1".

Later, Guan Chonggui suppressed hundreds of U.S. troops out of the position with his own strength, and all the soldiers around him were killed. He persisted for two days and two nights without eating, drinking or sleeping!
When the commander of the 42nd Army of the Volunteer Army saw that the enemy had sent hundreds of fighter planes to bomb a highland in turn, he sent two battalions to search.Only then did he see Guan Chonggui, who was too hungry to stand up, sitting slumped in the pile of corpses, beside him were more than 30 enemy guns he had picked up.

In this battle, Guan Chonggui was promoted to three levels in a row!Awarded the title of Battle Hero, known as the "Greatest Soldier" of the Korean War!
In 1953, the U.S. military retreated to the [-]th parallel and signed an armistice agreement. The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea ended with the victory of the volunteers!Guan Chonggui is finally home!
The war honed a young man's awareness of life and death, fame and fortune. For many years later, Guan Chonggui lived in seclusion, hiding his achievements and fame deeply, and lived an ordinary life.

When people told his resume one by one, they found out that none of the family of the combat hero had ever relied on his military exploits, and never used it to gain merit and fame.

According to the reporter's understanding, Guan Chonggui's eldest daughter is a worker in a factory, his second daughter works in a supply and marketing cooperative, and his eldest son has been driving a car since he was demobilized. These jobs are all earned by themselves, and they have never used their father's power to take advantage of them. things.

And before his youngest son had a job, someone wanted to take advantage of his power to arrange for him, and sell Guan Lao's favor by the way.Guan Lao refused, and said: This is not a trouble for the organization, he will go to burn the boiler if he has no job!
Unexpectedly, with just such a sentence, the youngest son Guan Youzhong really found a job as a boiler burner.Loving mother and loving son, his wife felt sorry for her many times, but Mr. Guan was never moved by him, and even asked her to leave her alone with the excuse of exercising.

Looking back on this life, his state of mind is still that of the young man who was determined to serve the country back then!He remembered the Japanese in North Manshan, the cold winter in North Korea, the roar of the plane explosion, and the camp that was closed by hell...

It's just that time is not forgiving, and you are still old after all.

In June 1988, Hero Guan Chonggui was diagnosed with liver cancer, and died in Jilin two months later at the age of 6!
Salute to the heroes!Salute to Mr. Guan!
