He lost his father when he was young and his family was poor. His hometown was liberated in 1949. He joined a series of peasant associations and militia at various levels, and his work was very active. He twice exposed the landlord's lying about the land and secretly changing the lease agreement, and captured a fugitive landlord alive and confiscated two pistols hidden by the fake Changbao.

After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, Huang Jiguang resolutely participated in Chinese people's Volunteer Army 195 1 March. When he was about to leave his hometown, his mother happily brought a big red flower to his chest and said to him, "When you arrive in North Korea, you should kill more enemies and serve the motherland and people." With his mother's entrustment and people's expectation, Huang Jiguang came to the front line of Korea and was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of 45th Division of Volunteer Army 15 Army as a correspondent. Although he is a correspondent, he always wants to learn more skills and exercise himself hard. He works actively, studies hard and makes rapid progress. 1On July 25th, 952, he gloriously joined the New Democratic Youth League of China.

195210 June 14, the U.S. invaders began to launch a crazy attack on the 597.9 and 537.7 Beishan highlands in Shangganling. Shangganling is located on Vu Thang Mountain in central Korea. It is the gate of the central line of the volunteers and the steel knife that pierces the enemy's heart. In particular, the two highlands in Beishan and Shangganling are wedged into the front of the enemy's position, posing a great threat to the enemy. In this small highland of Shangganling, which is less than 4 square kilometers, the enemy used two multi-division troops, with the cooperation of a large number of planes, tanks and artillery, and made crazy attacks on the highlands of 537.7 and 597.9. Guns rumbled and smoke filled the moonlit night, and the volunteers launched a fierce battle with the enemy. After the fighting started, Huang Jiguang was responsible for delivering letters, delivering orders, answering phones and transporting the wounded under fire. It lasted for four days and four nights under the blockade of enemy gunfire.

65438+1October night 19. Huang Jiguang's battalion was ordered to counterattack Shangganling right-wing 597.9 highland. Company 6 was ordered to occupy position 6 in advance, followed by positions 5 and 4. We must take position 0 before dawn to lay the foundation for the victory of the whole counterattack. After the fighting started, the progress was smoother than expected. At this time, it was suddenly discovered that there was an enemy fire point on the top of the mountain, which made the volunteers suppressed and unable to move forward. The battalion chief immediately ordered Company 6 to blow up, and organized a blasting group at the same time. From 7: 30 p.m. to 10: 30 p.m., Company 6 has launched five charges against the enemy, but it still hasn't destroyed the enemy bunker, and many soldiers died heroically. At this time, it is only more than 40 minutes before dawn. If you don't win the 0 th position, you can't complete the combat mission as planned, and the victory of the whole counterattack will be affected. At this critical moment, Huang Jiguang, standing beside the chief of staff, stood up and firmly demanded: "Give me the task, as long as I breathe, I promise to complete it." The chief of staff said confidently, "Huang Jiguang, this task is up to you. Now I order you to be the acting monitor of Class 6, Company 6. Be sure to complete the task! " After accepting the task, he immediately mounted a Grenade and led two comrades to climb the enemy's bunker. They advanced skillfully by the light of the fire. At first, the enemy didn't find them. When they were only more than 30 meters away from the enemy's shelters, two comrades-in-arms fell one after another. Huang Jiguang was shot twice in his left arm and left shoulder, bleeding profusely, but he kept moving towards the enemy's central ammunition point. When there were only eight or nine meters left, he stood up, raised his right hand and threw grenades at the enemy. However, due to the large bunker, only half of it was blown up. The two machine guns that didn't blow up stood out from the remaining shooting holes and roared fiercely, and the charge of the volunteers stopped. Huang Jiguang was injured again and fell down. At this time, it will be dawn, and the time limit of 40 minutes is up. Huang Jiguang jumped up and shouted at the spitfire mouth and the muzzle of the invaders' stubborn fortress. He stood up, opened his arms and jumped up ... the fire-breathing mouth suddenly went out and the screaming machine gun was dumb. Huang Jiguang, with his young life, opened the way for the volunteers to March forward triumphantly.

Just then, the comrades who were ordered to carry out the attack rushed out like arrows and shouted, "Go! "Revenge for Huang Jiguang! They followed Huang Jiguang's crawling road and quickly occupied position 0. Two enemy battalions-/kloc-more than 0/200 people-were all wiped out.

When he was six or seven years old, his father died because he was oppressed by the landlord. Huang Jiguang had been a long-term laborer for the landlord since he was a child, mowing the grass and herding cattle. /kloc-in the winter of 0/949, the hometown was liberated and farmers' associations were organized in the village.

After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began, China stopped demobilization and recruited a large number of conscripts. 1951March, Zhongjiang county recruited volunteers, and Huang Jiguang was the first in the village to sign up. During the physical examination, he was not selected because of his short stature. The battalion commander who came to draft was moved by Huang Jiguang's enthusiasm for joining the army and agreed to make an exception.

After going to the front of Korea, Huang Jiguang was assigned to 15 Army 135 Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 6th consecutive term as a correspondent. 1in April, 952, the troops went to the front position of Wusheng Mountain to take charge, but Huang Jiguang, who wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, was assigned to the logistics of the company.

background

■ The firepower density of Shangganling campaign is unprecedented in the history of war; Of the 12 volunteers who won the title of "Heroes to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea", Shangganling accounted for four-Huang Jiguang, Qiu, and Sun Zhanyuan.

■ Some western military strategists believe that only by figuring out why the Shangganling defense line has not been broken can we really understand China's army.

The unprecedented tragic battle of Shangganling created the highest fire density record in the history of world war at that time.

On a position of only 4 square kilometers, the "United Nations Army" invested 60,000 troops and dumped 6.5438+0.9 million artillery shells and 5,000 aerial bombs, with a maximum of 300,000 rounds a day. Volunteers also invested more than 40,000 troops and fired 400,000 shells. There was no vegetation on the position, and the hills piled up by rocks were smashed into powder piles more than half a meter deep.

In such an unimaginable sea of fire and bullets, the volunteers were able to beat back the US-led invaders with the most powerful firepower in the world, mainly because there were countless heroes like Huang Jiguang.

In the Battle of Shangganling, many heroes emerged from the volunteers. Among the 12 people who won the title of "National Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" in the war, four people participated in the Battle of Shangganling, namely Huang Jiguang, Qiu, Sun Zhanyuan; In addition, there are thousands of heroes in Qian Qian. In this atmosphere, the spirit of revolutionary heroism always inspires and infects the comrades who participated in the war, creating a heroic feat that is earth-shattering and makes the gods cry.

Although Huang Jiguang joined the army just over a year ago, he quickly learned the fine tradition and brave and tenacious fighting style of the People's Army under the education of the Party organization and the role model of veterans, and grew into an excellent soldier in a short time. At the critical moment, he can lay down his life to plug the loophole, which is the result of the exercise of the people's army and the education of the party. Some western military strategists believe that only by figuring out why the Shangganling defense line is impenetrable can we really understand China's army. For more than 50 years, the word "Shangganling" has become synonymous with our army's bravery and tenacity, and the spirit of Shangganling is always worth carrying forward!

story

■ Because of Huang Jiguang's excellent work and intelligence, the battalion commander named him the correspondent of the battalion.

■ Before Huang Jiguang pounced on the enemy bunker, his leg was broken and he was seriously injured in seven places. There was a blood print more than ten meters long behind him. His amazing perseverance is amazing.

When Huang Jiguang was a militia in his hometown, he once captured a fugitive landlord with wit and courage, which caused a sensation in the whole village. From the first day of enlistment, he asked for meritorious service by killing the enemy. In addition to doing a good job as a correspondent, he often went to the class to learn how to use weapons such as grenades, grenades and automatic rifles from the soldiers, and was praised by the company commander many times. Because of his excellent work and cleverness, the battalion commander named Huang Jiguang as the correspondent of the battalion headquarters.

1952, 10, 19 night, Huang Jiguang followed the battalion chief to command the Sixth Company to fight back in Shangganling. At that time, the battalion commander, company commander and instructor were all in a hurry. If the enemy's defense lines can't be occupied before dawn, the gains overnight will be wasted. At the critical moment, Huang Jiguang stepped forward, which was well documented with two thy correspondents. Soon, two comrades were shot down one after another, and Huang Jiguang was injured. When he climbed more than ten meters away from the enemy's central fire point, he threw the last Grenade hard, and the bunker only collapsed in half, and the enemy's machine gun was still spewing flames. Huang Jiguang has no weapons at the moment, and still climbs forward. Comrades lying behind, with the light of flares, suddenly saw a magnificent scene: Huang Jiguang stood up shaking, opened his arms and rushed at the enemy's machine gun. ...

Comrades rushed to the "zero" position and found that Huang Jiguang's stocky body was still pressing on the enemy's shooting hole, his hand was still clutching the sacks around him, and his broad chest tightly blocked the enemy's muzzle ... People saw that Huang Jiguang's leg had been broken, seven places were seriously injured, and there was a blood print more than ten meters long behind him. It is conceivable that at the last moment, Huang Jiguang climbed to the front of the enemy bunker with strong perseverance, dragging his badly injured body and jumping up again.

■ Unfortunately, because Huang Jiguang grew up in a poor family and had no money to take photos, he didn't leave any photos. The photos taken after the sacrifice were extremely tragic and the facial image was difficult to distinguish.

■ The only tangible monument left by the Battle of Shangganling today is the Huang Jiguang Martyrs Monument, which was built according to the instructions of Kim Il Sung.

Unfortunately, because Huang Jiguang grew up in a poor family, she never took photos. Although someone took a photo of the body after the sacrifice, the image was very tragic and the face was difficult to distinguish. When promoting heroic deeds, because there were no available photos, we had to use sketches to plug the loopholes. Later, the teacher of Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts drew a positive standard image of Huang Jiguang according to the memory of Wan Fulai, the company commander of Huang Jiguang. On the anniversary of the victory of Shangganling Battle 10, sculpture experts cast three bronze statues based on this portrait, which were collected in the army, Huang Jiguang Memorial Hall in Zhongjiang County and the company club where he lived.

1953 in April, Huang Jiguang's mother Deng attended the National Women's Congress as a representative. Mao Zedong also invited Deng to visit his home in Zhongnanhai to express his respect for this hero.

After the battle, Chinese and Korean soldiers carved Huang Jiguang's name on a high stone wall behind the main peak of Wusheng Mountain. Today, the only tangible monument left by the Battle of Shangganling is the Huang Jiguang Martyrs Monument, which was built according to the instructions of Kim Il Sung. Next to this marble monument, there is a loophole in the bunker blocked by the martyr's chest, surrounded by beautiful Jindalai.
