Chapter 161 The 15th Army became famous in the battle of Shangganling

In the Battle of Shangganling, the 15th Army became famous in the first battle. Since then Megatron the world. In March 1961, the Central Military Commission selected three main forces from the entire army—the 1st, 15th, and 38th armies, and handed it over to Air Force Commander Liu Yalou to select one of them and transform it into China's first airborne army. The general chose the 15th Army.The reason is: "The 15th Army is a force capable of fighting. They played a national prestige in Shangganling. Not only in China, but also the whole world knows that there is a 15th Army."

During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea awarded 12 Chinese People's Volunteers, including Peng Dehuai, "Heroes of the Republic" in the name of the country.Among them, the 15th Army accounted for 3: Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, and Sun Zhanyuan. In the battle of Shangganling, too many heroes of the Republic emerged. The Central Military Commission decided to uniformly hang portraits of the six heroes throughout the army.Among them, the 15th Army accounted for two: Huang Jiguang and Qiu Shaoyun. The "History of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea" compiled by the 15th Army after the war wrote: "During the Battle of Shangganling, it became common practice to use grenades, grenades, blasting tubes, and explosives to die with the enemy at critical moments. Phenomenon."

In 1986, Qin Jiwei ascended two highlands in Shangganling.On the 597.9 highland, Qin Jiwei walked slowly to the stele of Huang Jiguang's sacrifice, and bowed deeply; he faced the 537.7 highland Beishan in the east, and bowed deeply again. He expresses his condolences and respect to his comrades-in-arms who are buried here! The 15th Army became famous in the first battle and became famous all over the world. It was supported by heroes such as Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, and Sun Zhanyuan. In Shangganling, General Qin Jiwei's bodyguard Wang Liu also died. When the Battle of Shangganling was at its most intense, the Korean People's Army came to Daodedong to offer condolences and specially gave Qin Jiwei a basket of the best apples.Qin Jiwei asked the guard Wang Liu to keep a little, and send the rest to the war room.In the past, when Qin Jiwei ate apples after meals, Wang Liu would peel them for him. But since that day, when Wang Liu wanted to peel apples for him, he always waved his hand and said, "Put it down! I will peel it myself." In fact, he didn't Eat, all packed into a satchel embroidered with red five stars.

When Wang Liu was about to go to the front line, Qin Jiwei handed over the satchel full of apples to Wang Liu: "I don't have anything to condolence to the comrades who stick to the tunnel, you take this bag of apples with you!" With the commander's intention in mind, Wang Liu went to the front line.Unfortunately, he died at Shangganling No. 1 position. Qin Jiwei said affectionately many times: "I will never forget those heroes who dedicated themselves to Shangganling. Their figures often appear before my eyes." In his memoirs, General Qin Jiwei described such a story: There was a female nurse named Wang Qingzhen, who was only 17 years old, and was in charge of nursing the wounded in the Battle of Shangganling.Among them was a wounded soldier who couldn't urinate because of the injury. The female nurse urinated the soldier with her mouth without saying a word.General Qin Jiwei said in his memoirs that when he heard about it, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

As the author, I see this with tears in my eyes. What an army that risked their lives!With such an army that does not hesitate to live and die, and does not care about personal honor or disgrace, what is there to be afraid of the United Nations Army! The Chinese who are enjoying a peaceful life today cannot forget them.
