-Qiu Shaoyun
" After arriving in North Korea, we must fight desperately
Don't be afraid of death
In order to make all the suffering people
are all like our family living a good life
I die and what is it?”
When I was about to go to the Korean battlefield
Qiu Shaoyun wrote such words in his letter to his family
This letter is also Qiu Shaoyun
The only letter to his family
In March 1951, the 15th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army went to the Korean battlefield. In the team, there was a young soldier who was not tall, and his name was Qiu Shaoyun.
In the autumn of 1952, on the Korean battlefield, in order to smash the possible local attacks of the enemy, our army first carried out a tactical counterattack. The troops where Qiu Shaoyun was located were ordered to launch a counterattack on the 391 Highland west of Jinhua.
Counterattack 391 The biggest difficulty in counterattacking the 391 highland is to pass through more than 3,000 meters of open land. If our army launches a direct attack from the position and moves under enemy firepower, there will be serious casualties. Therefore, the superior decided to send offensive troops to secretly move into the grass in the open ground the night before launching the counterattack, waiting to launch an attack at dusk the next day, and catch the enemy off guard. The grass is only 60 meters away from the enemy's frontier position. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to lurk in the grass at the forefront of the enemy's positions.
On the night of October 11, more than 500 people from our army entered the hidden area, and Qiu Shaoyun was one of them. A few hours later, the sky gradually became brighter, and dense bunkers appeared clearly in front of our soldiers.
12 at 12 noon on the 12th, the enemy launched artillery fire and fired incendiary bombs from far to near. Suddenly, a fire bomb exploded beside Qiu Shaoyun, igniting the disguise on him.
"The bomb suddenly
made me explode with a look
on Qiu Shaoyun's head
suddenly burst into fire."
Suo Decheng was the closest comrade to Qiu Shaoyun at that time. Decades have passed, and the old man still clearly remembers the tragic situation on the position at that time.
The flames were spreading, and Qiu Shaoyun was covered with flames. The flames took advantage of the wind and quickly formed a ball of fire, surrounding him...
In fact, there was a small ditch behind Qiu Shaoyun. As long as he rolled into the ditch or kicked the camouflage on his leg and rolled in place, the fire could be extinguished immediately. But in order to ensure the safety of all the lurking personnel and the completion of the attack mission, Qiu Shaoyun gave up self-rescue, gritted his teeth, and let the fire burn his hair and flesh.
The fire burned harder and he pressed his body tightly to the ground. His only subtle movement was to press his fingers into the mud...
This scene made Guo Anmin cry not far away:
The fire on Qiu Shaoyun was burning
Only saw his hands inserting into the mud with both hands
The body did not move at that position
Qiu Shaoyun did not move, and the comrades next to him did not move either. He watched his comrades burned to death alive, which was also a torment for them. The comrades endured the pain as clearly as Qiu Shaoyun, and knew clearly that any fire-fighting action would expose the entire lurking force and cause greater casualties.
In the tears of his comrades, Qiu Shaoyun was almost burned into a piece of coke. He endured the unimaginable pain and sacrificed heroically under the burning fire!
At 5 pm, after lurking for 19 hours, Qiu Shaoyun's comrades shouted the slogan "Avenge Qiu Shaoyun" and captured the 391 Highland in one fell swoop.
Qiu Shaoyun exchanged his life for the safety of more than 500 comrades in the lurking army and the final victory of the 391 Highland counterattack.
"The Deeds of Comrade Qiu Shaoyun, a First-Class Hero Communist Party Member" (partial)
After the battle ended, it was not until the early morning of the 17th that his comrades found Qiu Shaoyun's body on a burnt slope.
The burnt body was curled up, and the only thing that was not burned was the hands inserted into the soil...
Later, when Qiu Shaoyun's troops left North Korea, they carved more than twenty big words on the cliff wall of the 391 Highland:
is the whole, the great warrior who sacrificed himself for victory
Comrade Qiu Shaoyun will immortal!
In order to commend the lofty collectivist spirit of martyr Qiu Shaoyun, after the war, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army posthumously awarded him the title of first-class hero.
North Korea posthumously awarded him the title of "Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" and the first-class national flag medal and the Venus Medal.
70 years later, today
We commemorate Qiu Shaoyun
We pay tribute to the heroic Chinese People's Volunteer Army
Behind every life moving towards death
There is a heroic story that should not be forgotten
In every burning loyal soul
contains an indomitable national spirit
It is this spirit that inspires us
keeps moving forward!
