The "39 1" highland controlled by the enemy, like a tusk, broke into the position of our volunteers. We are going to launch a surprise attack at dusk, pull out this tusk and push the front to the south.
On that day, before dawn, we dived into the ravine below the "39 1" highland and lurked in a relatively hidden ravine. The sun gradually climbed up the hill. I found that more than 60 meters ahead is the enemy's frontier position. You can see not only barbed wire and breast wall, but also bunkers and bunkers, and even the enemy can hear what he is saying. Of course, it is easier to find us when the enemy is in command. When we climb on the ground, we must keep still, cough or cross our legs, which may be discovered by the enemy. I looked ahead. The monitor and several soldiers were crouching in the yellow grass. They are covered with thick thatch as camouflage, which is difficult to find at a glance. I looked at Qiu, who was not far from me. He is also disguised all over, hiding better, so close that I can hardly find him.
Our artillery kept bombarding the enemy positions, and clouds of smoke rose from the top of the mountain. The blockhouses at the enemy's front were pushed over one by one. Looking at this scene, I just hope it will get dark soon and have a good fight.
At noon, the enemy suddenly started firing, and rows of shells exploded near us. Obviously, the enemy has already felt that his forward position is not very safe, but under the artillery fire of our army, he has no courage to come out and search, so he has to take out his housekeeping skill "fire alert"
After the artillery fire, the enemy used incendiary bombs and the weeds near us caught fire. The flame spread with a bang and the yellow thatch was stripped off. Suddenly I smelled a thick burning smell of cotton cloth. I turned to look, alas! The fire killed Qiu! His cotton-padded jacket was already burning, and the flames were running around in the wind, and a fire covered his whole body.
At this time, Qiu just jumped out of the fire and made several rolls on the spot so that he could put out the fire. I climbed near him, and as long as I jumped over and tore off his cotton-padded clothes, I could also save my comrades. But in this way, we will be discovered by the enemy on the hill, and our whole class and our whole latent troops will suffer heavy losses, and all the battle plans will be lost this time.
My heart is tight. How can you stand this? I'm afraid that young soldier will suddenly jump up or scream. I dare not look at him. I can't bear to see my comrades burned alive. But I can't help watching. I'm looking forward to some miracle-the fire suddenly went out. My heart ached, and tears blurred my eyes.
For the whole class, for the whole latent troops, for the victory of this battle, Qiu lay motionless in the fire like a boulder. The fire burned on him for more than half a head before it was gradually put out. This is a great soldier. Until his last breath, he didn't move an inch and didn't let out a moan. At dusk, exciting slogans resounded through Shan Ye: "Revenge for Comrade Qiu!" With full of anger, we bravely rushed to the "39 1" highland. All the enemies were wiped out by us. Look at the time, it is only 20 minutes from the beginning of the charge to the end of the battle.
I will never forget that day-19521kloc-0/October 12.
