Qiu Shaoyun was born in a poor peasant family.In the wicked old society, Qiu Shaoyun lost his father at the age of nine, his mother at the age of eleven, and started working as a long-term worker at the age of thirteen. He was oppressed and exploited by the landlords and gentry. In April 1949, the Kuomintang reactionaries were in a desperate attempt to save a corner of the Southwest, forcing the poor to be cannon fodder.Qiu Shaoyun was betrayed by his boss and forced to be a young man by Bao Bangla.The bitter childhood and tragic family experience planted the seeds of hatred in Qiu Shaoyun's young heart.He looks forward to light, to liberation!

In 1948, under the order of Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee, Liu Deng’s army marched south to liberate Chengdu in December 1949. Correspondingly, Sichuan was liberated, Qiu Shaoyun’s family and the working people all over the world were reborn, the sun came out, and the savior of the Communist Party, Qiu Shaoyun As a liberation soldier, he resolutely joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In March 1951, Qiu Shaoyun joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army in response to Chairman Mao's great call to "resist US aggression, aid Korea, protect the country and protect the country".When he came to North Korea, he saw that the U.S. imperialists and the Syngman Rhee gang burned, killed, looted, and plundered the Korean people.Witnessing North Korean children suffer the same suffering as his own childhood aroused Qiu Shaoyun's hatred of imperialist reactionaries even more.To contribute everything to defeat the US aggressors.

In October 1952, Qiu Shaoyun's company accepted a glorious and arduous task, which was to eliminate the American and Li bandit troops entrenched in the 391 Highland between Pingkang and Jinhua, and push the front line south.However, there is an open area 3,000 meters wide between our army's position and the 391 Highland, which is the enemy's artillery blockade area.It is indeed not easy to attack under such long-distance artillery fire.Therefore, in order to shorten the impact distance, surprise the enemy, and catch the enemy by surprise, our army decided to lurk the troops at the front of the enemy's position at night before launching the general attack.

Before the soldiers set off, the head of the army instructed: "It is a glorious tradition of our army to improve discipline and resolutely execute orders. This task is very important and arduous. Under no circumstances should the target be exposed." Qiu Shaoyun and his comrades firmly He replied confidently: "Resolutely complete the task!" To make hundreds of people lurking under the enemy's eyes for more than 20 hours, without a single person exposing the target, the task is indeed arduous and there are many difficulties.However, the Chinese People's Volunteers armed with Mao Zedong Thought deeply realized that the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was a just war against aggression and represented the will and aspirations of the people of the motherland and peace-loving people all over the world. And alert, showing earth-shattering revolutionary heroism and self-sacrifice.With deep hatred for the enemy, Qiu Shaoyun handed in an application for joining the party to the party branch on the eve of the battle.He wrote the Iron Oath: For the victory of the battle, he is willing to give his all!

In the middle of the night, more than 500 fully armed volunteer soldiers quickly dispersed in an orderly manner according to the scheduled plan, and sneaked into a field overgrown with wormwood near the 391 Highland.Everyone was planted with wormwood from head to toe. When the wind blew, the grass on the person's body and the grass on the ground shook at the same time, and there was no trace of camouflage.Qiu Shaoyun and the platoon he was in were hiding beside a ridge covered with wormwood on the east side of the highland. It was just dawn, and the first thing the soldiers saw was the layers of barbed wire and clusters of bunkers on the 391 Highland.A machine gun pointed directly down the mountain from the mouth of the bunker, and the enemy with guns walked back and forth in the traffic trench on the ridge, and looked down the mountain with binoculars from time to time.Qiu Shaoyun saw the enemy who was still preparing to resist, and his heart was burning with hatred. He widened his eyes and watched the enemy more vigilantly.

At around ten o'clock, something unexpected happened. A squad of Syngman Rhee's bandit army got out of the bunker and ran towards the direction where Comrade Qiu Shaoyun and his comrades were lurking. Qiu Shaoyun and his comrades looked at each other calmly, and their eyes signaled to each other: don't be impulsive, and if you lurk well, you will win.They continued to lurk in the grass with firmness and composure.The enemy was getting closer and closer... Suddenly, two soldiers were spotted by the enemy. The enemy took two steps back in fright, swept a bunch of bullets in a panic, turned around and ran towards the top of the mountain.

At this critical moment, if the enemy is allowed to return alive, the hidden secrets will be exposed, and the situation will be very serious.All this was seen very clearly by the regiment commander in the observation post.The commander immediately issued an order: use artillery fire to destroy this group of enemies!Immediately, the sound of artillery boomed, and a wall of fire was built on the hillside of the 391 Highland, which cut off the enemy's escape, and all the enemies in a squad were wiped out on the mountainside.Seeing this scene, Qiu Shaoyun excitedly looked at the comrades on both sides, expressing his inner joy.

The enemy on the mountain was terrified by the burst of artillery fire, huddled in the tortoise shell and did not dare to move. Half an hour later, several enemy planes flew from the south.Hovering over the lurking volunteer army.Suddenly, the enemy plane dropped an incendiary bomb.An incendiary bomb landed on the grass two meters away from Qiu Shaoyun, and the flying incendiary liquid splashed on Qiu Shaoyun's left leg. , Qiu Shaoyun can extinguish the flames by turning his body, but doing so will expose the target!Qiu Shaoyun thought of fighting the enemy better, thinking of the victory of the whole battle, he fell down firmly in the grass, and then his clothes burned, and the flames spread to his whole body after a while.

Behind Qiu Shaoyun, there was a small ditch. At this moment, as long as he took a few steps back and rolled in the muddy water, he could still put out the fire.But as soon as he rolls, the enemy will find out, and the hidden target will be exposed.For the victory of the revolution, Qiu Shaoyun is like a huge boulder.Lying there, motionless, the fire continued to burn on Qiu Shaoyun's body.Seeing the raging fire devouring their comrades, the comrades bit their lips in anxiety, and wanted to stand up several times to help Qiu Shaoyun extinguish the raging fire on his body.But Qiu Shaoyun and his comrades deeply understand that at this juncture, as long as someone makes a move, the entire squad, the entire hidden force, and the entire counterattack plan... are all over, and the victory that is about to be won will be lost. Qiu Shaoyun and his comrades, keep in mind According to the command of the head of the army: "Under any circumstances, the target must not be exposed." With a deep hatred for the enemy, they suppressed their anger and waited for the moment of battle.

Time passed so slowly, Qiu Shaoyun still lay there motionless.For the sake of the revolution and victory, he clenched his teeth, stubbornly endured the severe pain of the burning body, and inserted his hands deeply into the soil. He did not utter a groan until he finally died.At 5:30 in the afternoon, the Chinese People's Volunteers sounded the horn to attack the 391 Highland. Comrades, full of vengeful anger, rushed towards the enemy with overwhelming force.Two red flares flew into the sky, and all the enemy's reinforced companies were wiped out. The red flag of our army's victory was flying on the 391 Highland.Amidst the singing of triumph, the commanders and fighters stared at the place where the hero sacrificed for a long time.In the red raging fire, a huge image of a hero flashed. Comrade Qiu Shaoyun's high organizational discipline, tenacious revolutionary will, and high self-sacrifice spirit are typical representatives of valuing discipline more than life.
