He was diligent, studious, not afraid of hardship, and clever, and soon attracted the attention of Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, who came to inspect the front line of the army. Zhu De asked him what his name was. After he answered, Zhu De frowned and said: " Such a tough young man, this name is too girly. is not appropriate. Why not just name him after Xiangjiang water?, Xiangjiang water The everlasting flow may keep you safe.”
Just like that, Li Xiuli officially changed her name to Li Xiang.

A boil on the Korean battlefield
When Li Xiang served as the commander of the 67 army, he was only 36 years old. was the youngest commander among the volunteers and could be described as a young talent. Although his qualifications are small, his experience and strategies have been honed in many actual battles. In 1951, on the occasion of the New Year reunion, the 20th Corps had already begun careful deployment for combat operations in North Korea.
After receiving the mission, Li Xiang only spent 3 hours of preparation time , hurriedly said goodbye to his family , and rushed to North Korea with several staff members of the 67th Army to inspect the defensive positions and troop garrison areas in advance. situation and adjust combat strategies according to the actual terrain.
Shortly after the Resource Bureau entered North Korea to fight
, a large force followed up and stationed south of Jincheng, North Korea, to assume the frontal defense task near the 38th Line . Soon, the 67th Army ushered in its first battle since entering the DPRK. On this day, the enemy dispatched more than 4,000 troops, assembled artillery, tanks, and aircraft to launch a fierce attack on the 67th Army's position. Fortunately, Li Xiang had already made full arrangements and made devious maneuvers against the enemy, causing the enemy to suffer heavy casualties and flee in a hurry.
The 67th Army entered North Korea and won the first battle . Everyone was happy, but Li Xiang did not dare to take it lightly. Soon, the enemy with superior equipment launched multiple rounds of attacks, and the situation was extremely fierce. Fortunately, with Li Xiang's excellent command and flexible tactics, the 67th Army set a record of annihilating more than 17,000 enemies in just 6 days. The morale was high. For this, it was commended by the headquarters general order and shared with the entire army. The combat experience of the 67th Army.
Volunteer soldiers celebrating the victory
After this battle, Li Xiang not only became famous among the volunteers, but also made the leaders of the "United Nations Army" quite afraid, wished they could get rid of him and then . Seeing that repeated attacks failed to make any substantial progress, the eagerly awaited United Nations forces thought of using 's destructive tactics.
In 1952, the enemy sent planes to drop more than a dozen bombs on the positions of the 67th Army. Our army quickly organized an evacuation for cover, but found that the bombs did not explode after being dropped. were dumb bombs . This news immediately aroused the vigilance of Commander Li Xiang. In order to find out what was going on, he quickly led his troops to the scene to check for himself, but found nothing unusual.
A dumb bomb that does not explode
Strangely, shortly after this incident happened, a boil appeared on Li Xiang's face. Li Xiang didn't pay much attention to the existence of this boil and broke it inadvertently. But since that day, Li Xiang became seriously ill. After a long period of overloaded work, he was still able to continue to lead the troops by taking medication at first, but his condition worsened much faster than he imagined.
Within three days, Li Xiang became bedridden and confused. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed Li Xiang as suffering from acute septicemia and meningitis. He eventually died due to ineffective treatment. From onset to death, it only lasted 7 days. No one can believe that a fighting hero who fought his way out of a hail of bullets would die from a boil in just a week?

As soon as the news of Li Xiang’s death came out, the volunteers were filled with grief and anger. But they still couldn't figure out the reason for Li Xiang's death. At the same time, limited by the development limitations of the medical level within the Volunteer Army at that time, people generally lacked scientific understanding of the enemy's germ warfare.
The enemy's crazy germ warfare
Within two days, the Volunteers discovered that on the snow where the enemy dropped dumb bombs on the Volunteers' positions, a large number of flies and fleas appeared. You must know that it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, the climate of the Korean Peninsula was severely cold, and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. How could so many insects appear during this time period?

In the following period, many other units of the Volunteer Army also experienced such strange situations one after another. In the end, after observation by our soldiers, it was confirmed that these insects all appeared from the dumb bombs dropped by US military aircraft. Therefore, it is certain that the culprit of these insects is the US military.
At the same time, along with the arrival of these insects, symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and paralysis continued to appear in the military region, and the number of sick people was still increasing.This phenomenon immediately attracted great attention from military region leaders. In order to block the spread of these infectious diseases, various military regions have set up isolation areas to isolate the infected soldiers inside and allow professional medical staff to treat them. care.

Of course, blood samples from the infected soldiers were immediately collected and sent to North Korea's Infectious Disease Research Center for testing. The test results showed that these soldiers were all suffering from cholera, smallpox and other severe infectious diseases. Therefore, this is obviously the U.S. military's airdrop of virus-carrying insects to make the volunteers sick and incapacitate them to fight. This is a proper act of bacterial warfare . Commander Li Xiang died unfortunately because of being infected with bacterial gas.

In response to the anti-humanitarian bacterial warfare of the US military, the Volunteer Army quickly formulated corresponding measures to disinfect various insects in the military area, and insisted on setting up isolation areas inside the stationed area and conducting daily disinfection , and also asked the domestic Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to speed up the production of vaccines and disinfectants. With the joint efforts of the military and civilians of China and North Korea, the volunteer soldiers and the North Korean people near the military area were all vaccinated. Since then, the US military's germ warfare plan has completely failed.
In the end, China and North Korea also jointly disclosed the plans and evidence of the US military's germ warfare to the outside world, causing the United States to be condemned by public opinion in 13 countries around the world . It can be said that evil does not suppress good.
