Chapter 89 88. Huang Jiguang - The Great Wall of Flesh and Steel

After the sacrifice, Huang Jiguang's body wounds did not bleed, and there was no blood in front of the bunker—the blood was all on the road! Huang Jiguang (1931-1952), male, Han nationality, from Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province, a member of the Communist Party of China.During his lifetime, he was a correspondent of the 2nd Battalion of the 135th Infantry Regiment of the Chinese People's Volunteers. Huang Jiguang, formerly known as Huang Jiguang, was born in a very poor family. When he was six or seven years old, his father died of illness and hatred because he was oppressed by the landlord.Huang Jiguang has carried long-term labor, mowed grass and herded cattle for landlords since he was a child. In the winter of 1949, his hometown was liberated, and a peasant association was organized in the village. Huang Jiguang not only became the first member of the peasant association, actively fought against the landlords, but also became a militia in the village.

After the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 1950, the demobilization of soldiers was stopped in China and a large number of conscriptions were made. In March 1951, when Zhongjiang County recruited volunteer army recruits, Huang Jiguang was the first in the village to sign up.During the physical examination, he was initially not selected due to his short stature.The battalion commander who came to recruit was moved by Huang Jiguang's enthusiasm for joining the army and agreed to make an exception. Huang Jiguang crossed the Yalu River with his troops and entered the hinterland of the battlefield. He saw many bomb craters and scorched earth everywhere. The strong smell of gunpowder filled his heart with hatred and anger towards the invaders.I can't wait to join the battle immediately and destroy more enemies.

In October 1952, during the Battle of Shangganling to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, after four days and nights of fierce fighting with the "United Nations Army" led by the U.S. Army and the South Korean Army, the battalion was ordered to capture the 597.9 highland on the west side of Shangganling on the night of the 19th.After the troops captured three positions in succession, they were blocked by position No. 0, and organized three blasts in a row, but none of them worked.It was almost dawn, if the enemy's central firepower point could not be eliminated quickly and the zero position was captured, the entire fighter plane would be delayed.At the critical moment, Huang Jiguang, who was the correspondent of the 6th Company of a certain unit at the time, stepped forward and asked to take on the blasting task.He wrote in the letter of determination: "Resolutely complete all the tasks assigned by the superiors, strive to be a hero for meritorious service, and strive to join the party." He was immediately appointed as the monitor of the sixth squad.He led two soldiers bravely and wittily destroyed several firepower points of the enemy in a row, and rushed up.The three of them alternately covered the blasting, and quickly blew up three small bunkers, leaving only the last big bunker.At this time, Wu Sanyang died, and Xiao Dengliang was also seriously injured and dying.The instructor saw in the light of the enemy's flare that only Huang Jiguang was left alone with injuries while exercising, so he quickly crawled over and covered Huang Jiguang with a machine gun.Huang Jiguang dragged his injured leg, slowly climbed to the front of the bunker, and then threw a grenade with all his might.Unexpectedly, the big bunker was very strong, and only a small corner of the bunker was collapsed after the grenade exploded.The enemy's machine guns were still spewing tongues of flame frantically.Faced with the enemy's fierce strafing, he had no fear, endured the pain, quickly arrived at the enemy's central firepower point, and threw several grenades in a row, and the enemy's machine gun stopped firing immediately.When the troops took advantage of the situation to attack, the remaining machine guns in the fort suddenly fired wildly again, and the attacking troops were blocked again.At this time, he was wounded in many places and his ammunition was exhausted.In order to win the battle, he tenaciously crawled towards the firepower point. When he was close to the bunker for perforation, he suddenly threw himself on it with all his strength, blocked the enemy's gun hole that was spraying flames with his chest, and died heroically.Inspired by Huang Jiguang's heroic feat, the troops quickly captured the zero position and wiped out the two battalions defending the enemy.

When the comrades rushed to the "Zero" position, they found that Huang Jiguang's solid body was still pressing on the enemy's shooting holes, his hands were still firmly grasping the surrounding sacks, and his broad chest was still tightly blocked by the enemy's guns. Mouth... People saw that Huang Jiguang's leg had been broken, he had seven serious wounds on his body, and there was a long bloodstain behind him.After the sacrifice, Huang Jiguang's body wounds did not bleed, and there was no blood in front of the bunker—the blood was all on the road!It is conceivable that at the last moment, with such strong perseverance, Huang Jiguang dragged his seriously injured body, crawled to the enemy's bunker, and jumped up again.

After the war, most of the soldiers who witnessed Huang Jiguang's heroic deeds died in the subsequent battles. Only Wan Fulai, the commander of the 6th company of the 135th regiment, survived after being seriously injured.He heard in the hospital that Huang Jiguang was only posthumously awarded a "secondary hero" and had written a letter to express his feelings. In 1953, the Volunteer Army Headquarters revoked Huang Jiguang's "Secondary Hero" and posthumously awarded the title of "Super Hero"-only Yang Gensi and Huang Jiguang have won this level of honor in our army so far.The army party committee ratified him as a member of the Communist Party of China and awarded him the title of "model member".The leading organ of the Chinese People's Volunteers posthumously awarded him the title of "Super Hero".The Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea posthumously awarded him the title of "Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea", the Gold Star Medal, and the First Class National Flag Medal.Approved by the Central Military Commission, his portraits were printed and distributed to the entire army, and hung and posted in units above the company.
