Yang Gensi was ordered to carry out the task of sticking to the position of Xiaogaoling.
In the second battle, the 9th Corps of the Volunteers served as a combat mission on the eastern front of the Korean battlefield, and launched a division and panic attack on the 7th Division of the US Marine Corps and the 7th Division of the Infantry, which entered the Changjin Lake area. Yang Gensi was ordered to lead our 3rd platoon to capture and hold the position of Xiaogaoling 103 1 southeast of the highland, outside the lower valley of Changjin County, South Hamgyong Province.
Xiaogaoling is the only way for American troops to flee to the south, and it is also an important stronghold that volunteers must hold. Before departure, the battalion commander said to Yang Gensi, "Even if you hold this position, you will break the enemy's breakthrough plan. Remember, your 3 rd platoon is not allowed to climb the mountain, and resolutely destroy the enemy in front of the hill position. " After receiving the task, Yang Gensi set off with three rows of soldiers.
It snowed heavily that day, and the northwest wind roared, and the snow went straight into the neck. Together with Company 6, they quickly captured Xiao Gaoling and made careful arrangements for sticking to Xiao Gaoling.
The battle began, and the American army frantically launched nine attacks on the position.
Yang Gensi lived in a company named "Yang Gensi Company".
The battle began, and the American army frantically launched nine attacks on the position.
165438+1At dawn on October 29th, the fighting started. The us military concentrated its air and artillery forces and launched a fierce attack on xiaogaoling. The shells fell to the ground for a while, and the enemy plane dropped a large number of napalm bombs. Xiaogaoling suddenly became a sea of fire, most of the fortifications were destroyed and some soldiers were injured. Yang Gensi immediately organized soldiers to use the pit as a bunker, ready to attack the impact of the US military. A few minutes later, the dark American troops rushed to Xiaogaoling. Yang Gensi is calm. When the American army climbed the mountain, the distance was only 30 meters, and the order of "fighting" was issued. Heavy machine guns immediately fired rows of dense bullets at the enemy, and grenades exploded accurately in the enemy pile. The American army left a body and ran away.
After the first attack of the US army was repelled, eight tanks and two companies were transferred to bombard Xiaogaoling with more fierce artillery fire. After the artillery fire extended, the American army launched a second attack. Yang Gensi bided his time. When the enemy approached the position, he threw a Grenade first, and another Grenade exploded on the mountain. At this time, the machine gun and rifle fired together, and the enemy in front ran back with his head down, while the enemy behind continued to surge up and make a mess. Yang Gensi took the opportunity to lead the soldiers out of the fortifications, rushed into the enemy's pile and fought with bayonets, shovels and stones. The sound of shooting, fighting and shouting merged into one. The American army soon wavered and retreated down the hill, and the attack was repulsed again.
Even though the American army was beaten, it was still unwilling to use tanks to guide the infantry to launch a third attack. Yang Gensi looked at the rumbling tank and decided to knock it off first. He took the lead, picked up explosives and prepared to attack enemy tanks. As soon as he jumped out, he was caught by the soldier Zhao: "Company commander, I'll go." He grabbed the explosives and went straight to the enemy tanks. Under the cover of army firepower, Zhao quickly approached the tank and quickly stuffed explosives into the tank track. With a loud noise, the leading tank stopped moving in the smoke, and the rest tanks turned around and ran. The third American attack was repulsed again.
Yang Gensi lit the fuse and perished with more than 40 enemies.
There was a brief calm on the battlefield. Yang Gensi took advantage of the fighting gap, decided to tidy up the team, repair fortifications and replenish ammunition. Soon, the enemy rushed up again. Yang Gensi led soldiers to make use of favorable terrain and constantly beat back the impact of the US military. At this time, there were only six soldiers left in the position. Yang Gensi took the note brought back by the battalion commander Jiang Ziyi, which read: "Dear Comrade Sanlian, you are the Red Army Company. You must stick to Xiao Gaoling. I'm sure you can grasp it. " After reading the letter, the battalion commander firmly said to the soldiers: "This position cannot be lost. As long as we are brave, we won't have the tenacity of the enemy. The enemy is fierce, and we are more fierce than him; The bullet is gone, fight the butt, break the butt, and fight the shovel. Never lose ground, losing ground is a disgrace. Losing face in front of American robbers is the most shameful thing. " The soldiers shouted in unison, "We can hold on." Later, he raised his right hand with everyone and solemnly swore: "We live to destroy all reactionaries. For the motherland, for the Korean people and for the liberation of all mankind, we must hold this position. "
American troops are attacking again. After the indiscriminate bombing, the American army pounced on Xiaogaoling. The soldiers are not afraid of the American troops that are several times their own and the whole battalion. Yang Gensi calm command, deal with the enemy one by one, and beat back the enemy again. At this time, only Yang Gensi and heavy machine gun platoon leader were left in the position, and the bullets were gone. Yang Gensi said to the platoon leader of heavy machine guns, "Weapons cannot fall into enemy hands. You should take a heavy machine gun and retreat quickly. "
At the top of Independence Mountain in Yang Gensi, he took off his military cap, took off the dust, put it straight on his head, and walked slowly around the mountain as far as he could see. He picked up the available gun and 1 pack of explosives and put them beside him, hiding, staring at the mountain and looking at the enemy. At this time, the U.S. military began to pour shells at Xiaogaoling again and launched its ninth attack. At the critical moment when the enemy swarmed and climbed near the top of the mountain, Yang Gensi resolutely picked up the only 1 bag of explosives, lit the fuse and rushed to the dense enemy group. With an earth-shattering noise, he perished with more than forty enemies. Yang Gensi saved his position with his life, prevented the enemy from attacking again, saved his position, and completed the sniper task of cutting off the enemy's retreat.
