(The following is a tribute to the martyrs, you can skip it)
In 1950, U.S. imperialism brazenly launched the Korean War, blatantly crossed the 38th Parallel and threatened our borders. After careful consideration by the Central Committee, it was decided to call on the people of the country to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, and to defend their homes and country!
At this time, Guan Chonggui was already a glorious Communist Party member. He actively responded to the call and resolutely joined the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. In June of the same year, he followed Commander Peng Dehuai to the Korean battlefield.
In Peiping in June, the sun was scorching the earth, and it was also scorching Guan Chonggui's heart. He felt unprecedentedly anxious, mixed with excitement and his own passion.
As time passed and he went further north, he began to become calmer and calmer. The long journey soothed his emotions until he completely crossed the Yalu River.
Along the way, his mind was filled with fragments of his life in the previous twenty years. The Japanese who appeared on the Beiman Mountain Road were lingering in his mind. He wanted to make great achievements.
The moment the team entered the Korean battlefield, he looked back in the direction of his motherland. There were people there waiting for him to go home, so he naturally wanted to go back.
Immediately afterwards, he handed over his fate to the party and the thousands of people behind him!
Guan Chonggui, who has been struggling for a living since he was a child, is very brave on the battlefield and never flinches when charging into battle. He gradually grows up. Because he gets along relatively well with his comrades, Guan Chonggui is popular in the army.
As time progresses, the war situation is also changing rapidly. In February 1951, the cold winter in North Korea had not yet passed, and Guan Chonggui received a very important task.
At that time, his team was stationed near Highland 614 in Longtouli. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking from a high position, the hilltop in front of Highland 614 must be firmly controlled by the volunteers.
This hilltop is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are currently no solid defenses. It is not an easy task to hold on. The company commander told Guan Chonggui that he must lead the machine gun crew and hold on to the main position to repel the attack until the battlefield of Highland 614 was completely captured.
After receiving the order, Guan Chonggui immediately did not hesitate. He saluted the company commander and said: "Please don't worry, instructor, I am here and the position is there!"
Then he took the machine gun crew and groped towards the hilltop. Unexpectedly, looking at the short distance, the enemy's firepower was too fierce. By the time they actually reached the top of the mountain, it was already approaching nine o'clock in the evening.
At the end of winter in North Korea, when the withered grass was mixed with frost and the cold air dissipated into mist, Guan Chonggui and his comrades squatted half-crouched beside the mound on the hilltop and began to build fortifications.
Since entering the Korean War, the military shovel, which was originally larger than a cattail fan, is now smaller than a palm. Guan Chonggui pushed the shovel down, and only a deep mark with frost was cut out of the frozen ground on the hilltop, indicating the fact that this mission was even more difficult.
No one said anything, they just kept digging bunker trenches with shovels and pickaxes. The cold air invaded the people, and soon, blood blisters appeared on everyone's hands, and their frozen hands mechanically repeated the digging action.
The sky turned pale, and they finally completed the construction of combat bunkers and trenches. While taking turns to observe the surroundings, several people quickly filled their bellies with dry food. Not long after, the enemy began to attack the main position again.
At that time, the U.S. military adopted a "Butcher Operation" combat plan, which used low-altitude suppression by fighter planes, rear support from artillery, and front-end charge of the army as the main combat methods. In the process of continuously advancing the war, the Chinese and North Korean troops were not given a chance to breathe.
Guan Chonggui watched as the enemy kept approaching the main position with firepower, and he knew that the US military had not expected that they had captured the hill next to 614. But this position is not easy to get, and he cannot be exposed without orders from his superiors.
Suddenly, four enemy fighter planes appeared one after another from nearby hills, launched at low altitude, and circled continuously above the main position, which was full of provocation.
Guan Chonggui was very angry when he saw it. He thought to himself that when he held the anti-aircraft gun in his hand, he would shoot down this American's broken plane and smash it to pieces!
Round after round of dives, strafing, and bombings, the main position suffered heavy casualties, and everyone gritted their teeth and held on. Nearly half an hour later, the enemy fighter planes lacked firepower, and the ground troops began to charge.
Guan Chonggui was very angry, but he was still waiting for the main enemy force to enter the range of machine gun fire. Three seconds, two seconds, one second, Guan Chonggui stood up, set up his machine gun, and started firing.
It was obvious that the enemy was confused by the sudden high-level strafing, and coupled with the excessive firepower, they were quickly defeated. The enemy retreated and the location of the hilltop was exposed, but a more intense life-and-death battle was still to come.
After a long time, the enemy fighter planes roared over again, and two of them went straight to the top of the hill. The fighter plane that suddenly swooped down from behind kept strafing and bombing. Guan Chonggui kept the machine gun firmly under his body. The frozen soil in the trench exploded and caused chaos. The hilltop was almost turned upside down.
The fighter planes flew close to the high ground. Seeing that the defenses were almost unstoppable, and his comrades were still around, the main position must be defended. Guan Chonggui couldn't care less about life and death. Rather than waiting for death, it is better to fight to the death.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the enemy fighter plane flying upward, he picked up the machine gun and stood up, set the machine gun on the edge of the ditch, and aimed a shuttle at the fighter plane! Eight bullets went out and missed. However, the enemy obviously did not expect that someone would shoot the plane with machine guns, so they were startled and changed direction.
Guan Chonggui was obviously exposed. His comrades pulled him hard and asked him to find a bunker to hide. However, Guan Chonggui became reckless and used himself as a target to attract enemy fighters away from the main position.
Soon, the second fighter plane roared over, and Guan Chonggui fired at it again! A shuttle! This time, he made special use of the "advance amount" knowledge he learned in the army at that time, with the purpose of hitting fast-moving targets.
Eight bullets passed, and the fighter plane flew away from the hilltop and towards the mountains behind. Guan Chonggui's mind was roaring, but he heard cheers coming from the main position: "Hit!" Not long after, the explosions in the mountains behind were particularly clear.
Everyone was ecstatic, but his comrades still dissuaded Guan Chonggui. He violated discipline by setting up a machine gun to masturbate. What should we do? Guan Chonggui disagreed with this. Anyway, the enemy fighter planes had fled, and the main position must have been saved.
This battle was a great victory, and the story of Guan Chonggui's machine-gun masturbation spread throughout the volunteer army. Everyone hoped that this victory would reduce the punishment of this comrade by his superiors.
The battalion reported to the regiment, the regiment reported to the army, and so on, and finally reached the commander at this time.
The commander who heard the news not only did not blame him, but also laughed and said: Rules are dead, people are alive. It's not like the Americans' planes can't be shot down. This soldier should be remembered for special merit.
In this way, Guan Chonggui successfully won the special merit for the title of "the first person to masturbate with a machine gun".
Later, Guan Chonggui single-handedly suppressed hundreds of U.S. troops from the position. All the soldiers around him were killed. He held on for two days and two nights without eating, drinking or sleeping!
When the commander of the 42nd Army of the Volunteer Army saw the enemy sending hundreds of fighter planes to bomb a high ground in turn, he sent two battalions to search. Only then did he see Guan Chonggui, who was too hungry to stand up and slumped among the corpses. Beside him were more than 30 enemy guns he had picked up.
In this battle, Guan Chonggui was promoted to three levels in a row! Awarded the title of combat hero and hailed as the "greatest soldier" in the Korean War!
In 1953, the U.S. military returned to the 38th Parallel and signed an armistice agreement. The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea ended with the victory of the Volunteer Army! Guan Chonggui finally went home!
The war honed a young man's awareness of life and death, fame and fortune. For many years afterwards, Guan Chonggui lived in seclusion, hiding his merit and fame, and lived an ordinary life.
When people told his story one by one, they discovered that none of the fighting hero's family had relied on his military exploits to gain fame or glory.
According to the reporter’s understanding, Guan Chonggui’s eldest daughter works as a factory worker, his second daughter works in a supply and marketing cooperative, and his eldest son has been driving a car since he was demobilized. Moreover, these jobs were obtained by their own labor, and they have never used any pretense of their father’s power. things.
When his youngest son didn't even have a job, someone tried to use his power to make arrangements for him and sell him a favor. Guan Lao refused flatly and said: This will not bother the organization. He will burn the boiler when he has no job!
Who would have thought that with just such a sentence, the youngest son Guan Youzhong would actually find a job as a boiler burner. She is a loving mother and loves her children. Although her wife felt sorry for her many times, Mr. Guan was not moved by her and asked her to leave her alone on the grounds of exercising.
Looking back on this life, his state of mind is still that of a young man determined to serve his country! He remembered the Japanese in the northern Manshan Mountains, the harsh winter in Korea, the roar of the plane explosion, and the position that was closed to hell...
It’s just that time is not forgiving, and I will eventually grow old.
In June 1988, hero Guan Chonggui was diagnosed with liver cancer and died of illness in Jilin two months later at the age of 63!
Salute to the hero! Pay tribute to Mr. Guan!
