Chapter 1372 Outstanding Meritorious Songgu Peak
"That year, our teacher told us about Dong Cunrui's bombing of the bunker. The teacher gave us an example of the old man. Among the four people who went up together, he was the only one who was lucky enough to reach the place under the enemy's gun! Then the explosive packs were sent up.
, in order to blow it up as quickly as possible, they made the lead wire very short, and the old man was pushed out by the shock wave when he ran back halfway!"
"When people found him in the ditch after the war, the old man thought he was dead! Later, the health workers pulled out some straw sticks and a little shrapnel from his body, but there were no other injuries, and he recovered!
"
Ji Dongqing was very proud when he spoke of the old man. The heroic spirit in the bones of Northeastern people burst out. Zhong Yucheng kept nodding and opened a box on the table before Ji Dongqing spoke.
"Hey, I've seen this military medal before. That old man has a bunch of military medals. His one isn't as bright as yours and the paint is peeling off... I've also seen this military medal..."
Looking at the inventory that Zhong Yucheng kept pumping out, Ji Dongqing said very excitedly that Zhong Yucheng had a flat mouth.
"Don't brag on me. Do you think it's easy for me to get this military medal? Do you know how fierce a battle it took to get it? Do you know that you will escape death? The iron in Cheorwon is burning, and I participated in it on the battlefield.
Only the survivors of that battle got this! There are people in the small ravine in your hometown who are comparable to me, why didn’t I know?”
Shaking the special medal in his hand, the old man's eyes were full of memories.
Even though so many years have passed since that battle, the old man still remembers it fresh.
The deafening explosion, the squeaking sound of tank wheels rolling through the trenches, and the sound of comrades bayonets were all deeply engraved in the old man's mind.
"I'm not bragging, uncle, do you know about the battle at Songgu Peak? There is an old man in our town named Li Yu'an who participated in this battle back then! The writer Wei Wei recorded this battle and then published it in our elementary school textbook
! Mr. Li Yuan’s grandson saw his grandfather’s name on the article!”
"Then he read it to the old man. Only then did the old man know that he had been sacrificed, so he went to the local Civil Affairs Bureau and told them that he was still alive. Later, the publisher changed the article. When we were in middle school, we visited the county's Fighting Heroes Museum.
, I have seen the hanging portrait of an old man, and there is this medal that an old man received hanging on it!"
"I don't know the name of that unit. I can't remember it. It's too long..."
Ji Dongqing scratched his head. He used to remember the unit numbers of the old heroes, but now he has too much work and has taken up too much space in his head.
"The 1st Battalion and 3rd Company of the 335th Regiment of the 112th Division of the 38th Army! Back then, the 113th Division of our army was in the third institute..."
What Ji Dongqing didn't expect was that the old man's memory was better than his own, and he said every word about the war was accurate.
When the Volunteer Army went south to launch an encirclement and annihilation campaign against the US military and South Korean puppet troops, MacArthur was very tough at first. Later he found that he had underestimated the strength of the Volunteer Army. In order to preserve his strength and avoid being surrounded and annihilated in this kind of mountain warfare, he ordered all troops to withdraw south.
Among the U.S. troops retreating south, the U.S. 2nd Division broke up with a Turkish brigade and fought bloody battles with the Volunteer Army's 38th Army and 40th Army in the Junyu-ri and Fengming-ri areas.
The U.S. 2nd Division and the Turkish Brigade went south to Pyongyang and had to reach Sunchon first, but news came from the 5th U.S. Cavalry Regiment: "Sanso-ri, the highway hub leading to Sunchon, has been occupied by the Chinese army, and the Daedong River Bridge behind Sanso-ri has also been occupied."
Was blown apart".
Therefore, the U.S. 2nd Division could only choose to take a detour to Longyuanli Highway in the west of Sansuoli. This route was "Peichuan-Songgufeng-Gethyeon-Longyuanli".
This road is narrower and more dangerous than Sansuoli, but the 2nd Division had no choice at this time. The Volunteer Army stationed in Sansuoli was the 113th Division of the 38th Army. Before the 113th Division attacked Sansuoli, the Volunteer Army Commander
The department immediately told the division commander Jiang Chao that Sansuoli and Longyuanli in the west were the routes for the US military to go south, and both routes must be defended with all their might.
"At that time, Marshal Liang gave everyone a death order, and everyone should stay in position! We also received the same order when we were in Cheorwon. At the beginning, the Americans didn't take us seriously at all!"
"After all, our volunteer army is one army fighting three armies, and the American navy, land and air force are fighting our one simple army! The air force support promised by the Soviets did not arrive on time at all. The MiG corridor was only for maintenance, not support! I was still young at that time, and
A bunch of hot-blooded kids don’t know what it means to be afraid, so they just know they’re done!”
"I know the Songgu Peak you are talking about. Many of my comrades died there! It was these people who took time for the subsequent encirclement and annihilation war! It was also after that war that the top leaders of our country realized
, Our country’s industry is really too backward and needs to be developed!”
"You can't fight a war based on human lives alone! So even if we old guys hate the Americans to our core, we can't wait to eat their flesh and skin and kill them quickly! But when we see them, we still smile with them, introduce technology, open the market, and exchange for
Industrial technology! Now we have the Liaoning ship, the J-21, the H-6K, and the space station!"
"I'm very pleased that you guys haven't forgotten us old guys. It's good, it's good..."
Zhong Yucheng held the hand that was patting Ji Dongqing, his eyes were full of memories, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks. Just when Zhong Lin came in, he quickly came over with tissues to wipe the old man.
"Brother Dongqing, what did you say? Grandpa can't get angry now. The doctor said..."
Looking at his grandfather's tears, Zhong Lin grinned at Ji Dongqing, who was a little embarrassed.
"Shut up, I'm very happy today! You guys live so comfortably, not even half as good as Dong Qing! No wonder your father is willing to cooperate with Dong Qing in business, follow me on this! It's just a short life, no wonder others!
From now on, you will follow Dongqing to learn more, see more, and walk more, so as to understand what our real China is like!"
"I don't want you guys to go through what we went through again, but many people don't want to stop! We almost had a fight with them in the East China Sea in 2017! I was already ready to go to the front line again,
If the worst happens, do it! Damn it, we are not afraid of one army fighting three armies, let alone now that we have everything?"
"But to be honest, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want young people of your generation to experience this! The real war is more cruel than all the movies! Dongqing, can you remember that our group of people have used our flesh and blood to spell out the disgrace of China?"
