The bitter child of Fakaya
1930 lunar calendar165438+1October 20th, Huang Jiguang was born in a mountain village in Zhongjiang county, Sichuan province. Facai Cliff, a mountain village, is a good place, surrounded by green hills, covered with pine, cypress and bamboo, with clear streams. It should be said that it is a good place to make a fortune, and it makes sense to call it a rich house.
One day, Ji Guang suddenly asked his mother who was cooking in front of the stove a strange question: "What does it mean to get rich?" Mother replied: "to get rich is to wear silks and satins, live in a building and be hospitalized, eat fish and meat, have food and have money to spend!" " "Then why don't our family get rich?" He can't figure out why landlords who don't work can make a fortune, while his father, who is proficient in farm work, has made fine white powder strips that are famous for dozens of miles in Fiona Fang. Why can't his family make a fortune because of hard work? Ji Guang's family has only 7 mu of land, mostly on the hillside, with only 3 mu of good land. His father got up early and was greedy for black. After a hard year's work, apart from paying rent and taxes, there are only a few barrels of grain left. The family ate the last meal without the next. His father had no choice but to borrow a truckload of oil from the landlord, Li Jicheng, and wanted to fry rice cakes to sell some money. Borrow a load of oil, and agree to pay one and a half loads in spring and three loads in autumn. However, unexpectedly, my business was ruined and I didn't make a penny. I have to work for the landlord again and plant my own land. In less than two months, I was ill.
One day, Ji Guang's father was lying in bed taking medicine, and Li Jicheng, the landlord, came to ask for the bill and had no money to pay it back. If he didn't pay the bill, the landlord Li Jicheng took his father away, called some local ruffians and hooligans, lived in Ji Guang's house, ate and drank, and smoked opium. Finally, he had to pay his debts well. Father was locked up by the landlord for 7 days, and his condition worsened after returning to work. On the second day of March this year, my father called the Ji Guang brothers to bed and said intermittently, "Dad is dying. Remember, who killed dad ... you should be filial to your mother. She suffered all her life and never enjoyed a day's happiness ... Fighting for breath ... "Soon, Ji Guang's father died.
Ji Guang is young, but in order to earn some money, he has to do long-term work for the landlord Xiao Boyue's family. Huang Jiguang worked for eight months, and the landlord Xiao Boyue said, "You are too young to do anything. Go home tomorrow! " I have been eating and drinking for months, and I have lost all my money. The villagers will stop talking about it. The Spring Festival is coming. I'll give you a pig wretched and go home for the New Year! "Jiguang had no choice but to go to work with the landlord Li Jicheng. Knowing that my father was forced to die by Li Jicheng, I had to endure hardships and work for him in order to make ends meet. Xiao Jiguang drives cattle up the mountain during the day, and when he comes back at night, he has to carry water, sweep the yard, empty the urinal and sleep in the cowshed. He eats worse than pigs and dogs. After working for half a year, it's almost time to get paid. On this day, before dawn, we went to the mountain to herd cattle. However, after eating grass once in Niu Gang, Li Jicheng, the landlord, quickly caught up with the mountain and scolded, "You have balls, you are going to kill me! "JiGuang don't know what's going on. It turned out that when the cow came out in the morning, there was a pile of shit in the yard, because it was dark and Ji Guang didn't see it. Landlord Li Jicheng stepped on cow dung and fell down. Li Jicheng, the landlord, shouted savagely, "You ate cow dung!" Ji Guang endured anger, eradicated cow dung and cleaned the yard, but the landlord still refused. The landlord shouted savagely, "You are not allowed to eat today, and you will be fined 20 barrels of water! "Poor little Ji Guang, hungry, pumped water from the well one by one, climbed up the high steps step by step, and poured it bucket by bucket into the pool. A load of water is seventy or eighty pounds! Xiao Jiguang picked a few trips, but finally he couldn't support it and fell on the wall. Uncle Chen, a long-term worker, can't stand it. He picked up Ji Guang and argued with the old landlord. Li Jicheng, the landlord, said savagely, "You are going to rebel! If you don't want to do it, roll! " Ji Guang couldn't bear it any longer and said, "I quit, you pay me back!"! Li Jicheng, the landlord, scolded, "You son of a bitch still needs money." . You broke my bucket, pay for it! "For half a year, he didn't even get a penny. I must remember this revenge, he thought. When I grow up, I must take revenge! This is Huang Jiguang's childhood, Facaiya's bitter child.
Only by practicing a skill can we fight well.
1949 Spring, Zhongjiang County was liberated. Huang Jiguang took an active part in all kinds of work in the village, whether it was fighting bandits, collecting public grain or bullying landlords, he was ahead. Only a few days after the poor turned over, 1950, American imperialism launched a war of aggression against Korea. After more than a year of struggle and training, Huang Jiguang learned many revolutionary truths.
1950 In March, Huang Jiguang responded to the call and signed up for the Chinese people's Volunteer Army. When he put on his new uniform, he was so happy that he didn't sleep well all night. He thought, I am already a volunteer, and I must study hard to kill the enemy.
1 951July1Day and night, Huang Jiguang followed the troops, crossed the Yalu River Bridge, arrived at the front line of Korea, and was assigned to the company as a correspondent. As soon as Huang Jiguang reported to the company, he asked the company commander, "When will the war start?" The company commander said, "Don't worry. Come here, still worried about not fighting? The task now is to train soldiers. Only by practicing your skills can you win the battle! " Huang Jiguang listened, feel very reasonable. Although I had a short-term military training before coming to North Korea, I didn't even master the performance of some weapons. How can we go to the front to kill the enemy?
From the next day, Huang Jiguang learned to use all kinds of weapons seriously, including rifles, grenades, automatic guns, rocket launchers, 60 mortars and so on. He can use all kinds of weapons.
Soon, thy offensive and defensive drills, the company commander especially want to look at the new correspondent Huang Jiguang. On a bright moon night, the breeze blew the unknown wildflowers of miscellaneous trees all over the mountains. Under the command of the company commander, the exercise began. One row is an imaginary enemy, holding the hill, the second row is a frontal attack, attracting "enemy" firepower, and the third row breaks through from the flank. Huang Jiguang!' Cried the company commander. "Yes!" "Immediately send orders to the third platoon, detour to the enemy's side, storm the enemy's position, and take the hill in 15 minutes!" Ji Guang fluently repeated the company commander's orders and bent down to run in the direction of the third row. By moonlight, the company commander saw Huang Jiguang sprinting for a while and hiding for a while. In the open area, he crawled forward with only a few horsetail pine trees as a cover, and his movements were very fast. Huang Jiguang stopped in front of a small river. Should we wade across the river or take the small bridge in the distance? Huang Jiguang cat waist ran towards the bridge. However, he stopped suddenly, looked around, and went down the river decisively. He walked carefully step by step, with his gun and ammunition held high above his head. Before long, Huang Jiguang conveyed the order to the third platoon and ran back from the original road. However, Huang Jiguang couldn't find the company commander. He looked around and thought nervously, then ran to the company commander's new command position. The company commander was very satisfied with Huang Jiguang's performance in the exercise. Finally, the company commander said, "Huang Jiguang participated in the military exercise for the first time. In the process of conveying orders, he can pay attention to the use of topography, make a quick judgment after the command post moves, and successfully find a new command post. " The company commander also pointed out Huang Jiguang's shortcomings, mainly hesitating when crossing the river, thinking about the small bridge from the beginning. If it is actual combat, the small bridge will either be blown up by the enemy or controlled by the enemy's gunfire. Isn't walking on the bridge going to be killed by the enemy? Fortunately, he crossed the river soon, but if he delays for a few minutes, he may miss something important. After listening to the company commander's summary, Huang Jiguang thought it was not easy to be a good soldier, but he had to study hard and practice hard.
Make a good screw
1In February, 952, Huang Jiguang followed the troops to the 78 1 highland in front of Vu Thang Mountain. Huang Jiguang thought, this can be a fight. However, the more he wants to fight, the less he fights. The leader asked him and assistant instructor Wu Baosheng to move to the back of Vu Thang Mountain with the logistics of the company. The impatient Huang Jiguang went to the assistant instructor and said, "I've been in the army for almost a year, and I haven't even fought a small battle. What kind of volunteers is this? My mother is waiting for my meritorious service. Let me stay in front, I will try my best to kill the enemy and try to wear a big red flower! " The assistant instructor liked Huang Jiguang very much, but felt that Huang Jiguang didn't understand the importance of logistics, so he enlightened him and said, "Xiao Huang! Do you think our clock is accurate? " Ji Guang said, "Quite accurate." "Why so accurate?" "The machine inside is very clever!" "What is the machine made of?" "There are clockwork, gears, hands and dials." "What else?" I turned my eyes several times, and I can't remember. The assistant instructor said, "Think about it. What is the connection between the gear, the pointer and the spring? " "It's just a small screw." "By the way, if there are no screws, the machine won't fall apart? How can it turn? " Huang Jiguang is very clever. He knew that the assistant instructor made him understand the importance of logistics. From then on, he no longer asked to stay ahead.
Huang Jiguang has been doing logistics work for half a year in a down-to-earth manner, which is excellent. In addition to delivering letters, he was not idle all day, collecting firewood, carrying water, cutting vegetables and cooking pots, and became a member of the cooking team. Other comrades let him have a rest. He said, "I am far behind Yang Gensi, Dong Cunrui and Liu Hulan. I'm still tired of doing this job! " Every time we send ammunition to the frontier, Huang Jiguang rushes over. Others send it twice a day, and he sends it three times a day. He also ran to the machine gun company to help dig tunnels, swung a sledgehammer and smashed more than 100 times in one breath. People asked him his name, but he ran away without saying anything. There is an organization in your company that strikes while the iron is hot. Huang Jiguang often picks up bomb fragments and gasoline shells from the outside. On one occasion, he also carried half a barrel of a tanker. When he is free, he also learns to strike while the iron is hot. His kitchen knife, spatula and axe are all good. Huang Jiguang spends a lot of money on soap, buying several pieces every time.
Once, the purser asked him, "Why did you buy so much soap? You can't eat so fast! " He said he couldn't wash it, so he used a lot. Later, I learned that Huang Jiguang bought so much soap to wash clothes for his frontier comrades. Huang Jiguang completes logistics and is willing to be a screw. Everyone praised him very much. He was unanimously elected as a representative to attend the celebration party of the group. The leader gave him a third-class merit and joined the China New Democratic Youth League.
Jumped at the enemy's machine gun.
1952 10 10/4, the enemy launched a "golden attack". Under the direct command of the commander of the Eighth Army of the US Army, this offensive, with 60,000 troops, more than 300 cannons, tanks 176 and hundreds of planes, stormed two positions of our army-597.9 and 537.7 highlands in Shangganling area. The enemy sends out 100 planes to drop bombs every day, dropping more than 500 bombs at most. Every day, 1 00-300,000 shells are fired, the top of the mountain is cut off by two meters, and the thickness of rock powder reaches1meter. It is in this situation that the volunteers fought bravely and tenaciously, crushing the enemy's attacks again and again. A few days later, at the cost of thousands of casualties, the enemy occupied the surface position of 597.9 highland. At the beginning of the battle, Huang Jiguang went to the battalion as a correspondent. A few days later, he followed Zhang Guangsheng, chief of staff of the battalion, to Company 6 to take part in the counterattack.
This day is 1952101October19.
The counterattack in Shangganling is about to begin, and the superior decided to take Company 6 as the assault. Zhang Guangsheng, the chief of staff, called a meeting of all six companies. There is a big sand table in the tunnel, and the center of the sand table is a highland with an altitude of 597.9. This is a strategic ground occupied by the enemy, surrounded by hills marked with numbers such as "6", "5", "4" and "0".
Zhang Guangsheng briefly explained the situation of both sides since the enemy launched the "golden offensive", and then said: "Comrades, does the enemy's occupation of the surface position of the 597.9 highland mean victory? Don't! I can only say that I rode on the back of a tiger and climbed to the top of the volcano. Tonight, we will launch a counterattack, and we will knock it off the tiger's back and let it smash to pieces. Zhang Guangsheng, chief of staff, pointed a gun at the sand table in his hand and said, "The Eighth Company of Iron and Steel, near the main peak at 1, is responsible for destroying the enemy on the main peak. The fourth company of the brothers attacked the enemy in the second position. Your task is to fight from the foot of the mountain northwest of the 597.9 highland.
At the foot of this mountain, the enemy attacked the whole day with a battalion yesterday. Our soldiers repelled the enemy nearly 30 times, killed nearly 200 people, and took the initiative to turn to the No.5 position tunnel to continue fighting. "He glanced at the commanders of the whole company who listened attentively to his explanation, slowed down and said word for word," Your specific task is: "Take position No.6 first, then take positions No.5 and No.4, and finally take No.0." The gun stopped on the mountain bag with flag No.0 hanging. Heavy place twice. The chief of staff went on to say, "No.0 is close to the main peak and won, just like a football player rushing into the opponent's restricted area, but …" The chief of staff paused for a few seconds, and the atmosphere in the tunnel suddenly became tense. "However, it is not easy to occupy this No.0 land. There is a big fire launching point here, which tightly blocks the road leading to the position and is ready to fight a hard battle. " At this point, Zhang Guangsheng put down his gun and shouted, "Today is the first battle of our battalion in Shangganling Campaign. You can only play well, not break it. We must resolutely recapture the main peak of 597.9 from the enemy. "
After listening to the mobilization of the chief of staff, the company commander, instructors and soldiers all said that they must complete the task. Some soldiers also shouted slogans: "Resolutely complete!" "Take back the 597.9 position to the death!" "Report good news to Chairman Mao and General Jin with victory!" In the tunnel, the soldiers are nervously preparing for the battle.
Huang Jiguang checked and everything was ready. It suddenly occurred to me that I should write a letter to my mother. When he came to North Korea, he didn't write many letters to his mother. He received a letter from his mother the other day. He found it, gathered the candlelight on the bullet box and looked through it. The letter said: "As soon as I arrived at the township office, everyone shook hands around me. The township head said: Your son is making rapid progress, playing well and in good health. He made a contribution and won a prize. This is the good news he sent back. Son! You must kill more American devils! " Huang Jiguang spread out a blank sheet of paper on the bullet box and respectfully wrote, "Dear Mom …" He wanted to tell his mother that they had accepted the combat mission and were really going to kill several American devils this time. He also told his mother that he joined the League and wanted to join the Party. He wanted to be tested in the battle ... Huang Jiguang was about to write a letter to his mother with a pen in his hand. Suddenly, our artillery went off with a bang, which was a signal of our army's attack. Huang Jiguang hurriedly put pen and paper away and ran to the chief of staff. This letter to his mother was not written-the counterattack began.
After several hours of fierce fighting, the hero's sixth company captured three hills in a row and left position 0. This is a critical moment, a decisive moment. If we can't take position 0 before nightfall, the three positions we have captured will be completely exposed to the enemy's gunfire, and the eighth company officers and men hidden in the tunnel 1 will not be able to rush out of the tunnel to attack the main peak 597.9, and all previous efforts will be wasted, and the achievements of fighting all night will be destroyed, with no retreat. The critical moment has arrived. There was a rare scene in the position: the company commander Wan Fulai, the instructors Feng Yuqing, Huang Jiguang, Deng Liang Junior and Wu Sanyang all pleaded with the Chief of Staff. Company commander Wan Fu said, "I'm going to kill it! I can't believe I can't resist these sons of bitches! " Instructor Feng Yuqing said, "I'll go! I have to take it off myself! " Huang Jiguang suddenly stood up and said to the chief of staff, "With our correspondent here, we can't let the chief go!" Xiao and Wu Sanyang also stood up. Zhang Guangsheng, chief of staff, was deeply moved. After careful consideration, he made a decision and said to Huang Jiguang, "Comrade Huang Jiguang, you are a good son of the people and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. I believe that you will not live up to the people's entrustment and will certainly complete this glorious and arduous task! " Zhang Guangsheng knew that Huang Jiguang had always envied the honor of Class Six. Now, all the soldiers in Class 6 are injured or killed. In order to maintain and carry forward the honor of Class 6, he solemnly appointed Huang Jiguang as the acting monitor of Class 6 of Company 6. He held Huang Jiguang's hand tightly and said, "Comrade, vice squad leader, you are only allowed to advance in the battle, and you are not allowed to retreat!" The chief of staff also said to Xiaohe and Wu Sanyang: "I order you two to be class 6 fighters and obey Huang Jiguang's command!" Huang Jiguang unbuttoned his cotton-padded jacket, took out his mother's letter from his close-fitting shirt pocket and carefully handed it to the instructor. The three soldiers bowed solemnly to the instructor, turned and ran out of the hole, and rushed to the enemy position 0, where the poisonous flame burst and death grinned.
On the bare mountain ridge, three soldiers pushed forward like a steel triangle, with Huang Jiguang in the front and Xiao and Wu Sanyang in the back. The iron triangle is advancing. Three soldiers marched bravely in the smoke of match rope woven by machine guns and the explosion of shells. Wu Sanyang was hit by the enemy with a Grenade in his hand. Feng Yuqing, the instructor, was outraged and asked Huang Jiguang and George W. Deng Liang to find a machine gun. He wants to cover them and kill the last enemy as soon as possible. There are three heavy machine guns in the bunker bombed by the enemy, one of which is not seriously damaged and can still be used. Huang Jiguang and Xiao raised their heavy machine guns and were about to take a step when Xiao fell down. I saw his right arm and right leg bleeding. Ji Guang quickly squatted down, climbed to Xiao Liang's side, took out his first aid kit and bandaged it for him. "Leave me alone, go ..." Xiao Deng Liang endured great pain and let Ji Guang go. The enemy is shooting wildly and can't delay any longer. Huang Jiguang dropped his machine gun and shouted at the instructor, "I'll kill it!" The iron triangle no longer exists, only an arrow is left. Huang Jiguang, like an arrow from the left, rushed to the enemy's last and largest battery at an alarming speed. The enemy's searchlights soon focused on Huang Jiguang. Huang Jiguang immediately stopped moving forward. His military uniform covered with smoke is already the best camouflage uniform. He lay there, integrated with the earth, like a small protrusion. The searchlight beam slowly moved to one side, and Huang Jiguang moved forward again. Suddenly, the searchlight came back, and flares came and went. In an instant, hail poured down on Huang Jiguang. Instructor Feng Yuqing stared at Huang Jiguang with wide eyes, and the thin sweat on his head turned into sweat, thinking: "It's broken!" He touched the Grenade and was about to jump up and rush up. Huang Jiguang is moving again, but every step is particularly difficult. He slowly arched his right leg, pushed away the loose soil and gravel with difficulty, propped up his upper body with his elbows, and crawled forward inch by inch. He didn't dodge the enemy's bullets. Maybe he didn't have the strength to dodge. He just kept climbing, climbing ... 30 meters, 25 meters, 20 meters, getting closer and closer to the enemy. Why not play with grenades? Huang Jiguang continued to struggle forward,15m,10m ... Huang Jiguang stood up slowly, first raising his head, then propping himself up with his right arm, kneeling on his right leg and propping his knee with his left hand ... Under the irradiation of searchlights and flares, he stood up miraculously. He raised his right arm and the Grenade made a deafening explosion in front of the enemy's fire. Huang Jiguang fell like a rock, and Feng Yuqing jumped up and rushed to Huang Jiguang. He raised his head. Ah, Huang Jiguang is like a pangolin, still struggling to climb forward. Feng Yuqing suddenly realized that he didn't have a Grenade, otherwise, he would definitely hit it out. So, why did he climb forward? When Feng Yuqing turned around, he saw three reinforcements carrying ammunition. He ordered in a low voice, "Prepare to attack!" Just then, I saw Huang Jiguang staggered to his feet again. With his last strength, he rushed at the enemy's machine gun with open arms, blocking the evil bullets. ...
