In the small " cat ear piercing ", they did not have enough space to lie down, so they had to curl up and take turns to rest. They were so close to the enemy that they could hear each other's words... Under such conditions, they held on for 108 days. In self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, , Wang Lipin's class had a total of 9 people, 6 of whom were awarded the first-class merit of , and his class had awarded the first-class merit of collective merit.
New recruits from military families
Wang Lipin's father is a veteran of Resisting U.S. aggressing Korea . After returning home from demobilization, he often tells battle stories to his children, and the most common thing is "being a person requires duty." Wang Lipin, born in 1963, is the second boy in the family. Because of his father's military status, his life seems to be destined from birth.
Wang Lipin's hometown was Ganggou Commune, Licheng County at that time. Although his father, who had returned from the demobilization of the troops, worked in a tractor factory, his family of four children was living a tight life. After Wang Lipin went to high school, he had to help his family work after school. He didn't have much energy to study. He started working in the production team after graduating from high school at the age of 18. The first work points in his life was earned from loading and unloading goods.
In fact, the one who wants to join the army the most in their family is his elder brother, but he has been unable to pass the physical examination repeatedly. In desperation, the brother who became the militia company commander placed his dream of joining the army on Wang Lipin, hoping that his younger brother would fulfill his wish to enter the barracks for him. In October 1982, he lived up to expectations and successfully passed the physical examination and became a new recruit.
As the second generation of soldiers in this family, his family supports him in the army to make achievements, but his mother is still reluctant to leave and carefully prepared several sets of underwear. "In fact, it is not necessary to get to the army, but that is the old man's wish." In this way, with the expectations and concerns of his family, he entered the army. From the initial discomfort, to the gradual adaptation, and then to the fish in water, "5 rounds of bullets are shooting at the target every time, and they are in good health, nothing can be difficult for me." After three months of training in the recruit battalion, Wang Lipin entered the 414th Regiment of a division. In days without war, their troops were responsible for national defense construction - tunneling.
By January 1985, the troops received orders to participate in the war. "If you join the army, you must be ready to go to the battlefield. Soldiers are the ones who defend their country." Wang Lipin said this when he heard that he was going to the front line.
10-word home letter
In order to deal with various situations on the front line, after receiving the mobilization, Wang Lipin's troops began to prepare for war, building and improving physical fitness and tactics in all aspects. Due to the need for confidentiality, he did not notify the family at this time. Even when he went to the front line to pass through Jinan in March 1985, his family was unaware of it.
"After seven days and seven nights of the tank truck journey, the army arrived in Kunming." When he was about to go to the position, Wang Lipin wrote a 10-word letter to his family, "I have already gone to the position, don't worry about it." He said that he couldn't write many words at that time, so he hoped that his family knew that he had gone to the front line, and at the same time, he hoped that his family would not be too worried. Although there are thousands of words in my heart, it finally condenses into these 10 simple words.
Although he is a strong man, Wang Lipin also shed tears when he wrote this letter to his family. "I shed tears at that time. My parents raised us. If I sacrificed, I would not be filial to my parents." Speaking of this, although 37 years have passed, Wang Lipin still put his head close to the sofa to prevent tears from flowing out of his eyes. "When I came back from the army, my mother's hair turned white."
He I clearly remember that I entered the position on August 5, 1985. "At that time, I asked to go to the most dangerous No. 1 post to be on duty. Our squad leader Li Zhongliang went over to hand over on the 4th. Ge Congyun and I entered No. 1 post on the 5th. There were only three of us at this post."
, which is six or seven meters away from the enemy,
, This No. 1 post is the most cutting-edge post at the entire 166 Highland. Speaking of the 166 Heights, many people may know that this is the frontier position of the Laoshan battlefield and is also a well-known "land of death". Several small hills were repeatedly bombed by artillery shells from both sides, turning the once airtight forest into a white stone mountain, and even called a "quarry".
sentry shifts, you need to take advantage of the night, and you also need to pass the "100-meter life and death line" covered with mines and sniping at any time. The soldiers could only take advantage of the night to explore the shells that exploded from time to time. The No. 1 sentry is only six or seven meters away from the Vietnamese army in a straight line, so that the voices of both sides can be heard, "We can only speak with our ears."
entered the front line of positions, and Wang Lipin served as the machine gunner. Only when he arrived on the battlefield did he know the cruelty of the war. Wang Lipin said that at that time, his hands were trembling when he threw grenades, and the rocks exploded by the shells around him flew away from time to time, especially when comrades died one after another at the No. 6 post.
Gradually, as time goes by, they have long been accustomed to explosions, and throwing grenades is as easy as throwing stones when they were young. In order to keep it confidential, they also used some code words, such as "beer" is a grenade, "fire stick" is an blasting barrel , "peanuts" is a bullet, "potato" is a 60 shell, "splashing water" is an machine gun strafing, etc.
In addition to the cruel battle, there is also an almost unbearable living environment. They leave one person to watch during the day, and the other two rest. At night, they have to cheer up and prepare for battle at any time. "The cat's ear pierced ears are very small. The three of us are there. The space is too small to lie down, so we can only sit and rest." Wang Lipin said that the temperature was over 40 degrees, and the clothes on his body were soaked in sweat, which was soaked and wet. The sticky feeling of wet clothes on his skin was unbearable. There was no way for everyone to take off their clothes. It rains every day in September, and it rains heavily outside and lightly inside. "The mosquitoes are very heavy and there are many, and the whole body is bitten by bags. The wounds are quickly red, swollen, blistered, inflamed, and suppurated. As long as the body is bitten by mosquitoes, it is scratched and punctured by stones, the wound will soon begin to get inflamed, fever, ulceration, swollen, bleeding and pus, and even wake up by rats when sleeping."
Most of the meals are compressed biscuits, "I ate that east Xi, my stomach was so swollen that we repeatedly asked for some rice. In order not to be discovered by the enemy, we used solid alcohol without smoke as fuel and used an iron can box as a pot to cook some porridge. "
won the first-class merit
1985, just as the sky was dawn, the Vietnamese army took advantage of the sudden fog that surged up to attack the surface of the 166 position. Wang Lipin said that suddenly the Vietnamese army threw an grenade, , and rolled into the No. 1 post. Before the squad leader Li Zhongliang had time to think about it, he quickly grabbed the grenade with his left hand and threw it out the hole. Just as the grenade was thrown out, the enemy's grenade exploded, and the squad leader Li Zhongliang's left hand was blown off and blood suddenly gushed out.
Li Zhongliang found a tourniquet beside him and quickly picked it up. He used his mouth and right hand to tug his wounded left arm tightly. He didn't care that the blood was still flowing. He came to the entrance of the cave and joined the second attack against the Vietnamese army again. He wielded his gun with one hand and shot at the enemy. After the enemy retreated, from morning to dark, for more than ten hours, the seriously injured squad leader Li Zhongliang's left arm was only able to stop the bleeding by relying on these two tourniquets. He could not evacuate, and he could not even scream, because he would expose the target if he made a sound. "You can imagine what he endured!" Wang Lipin said that when Li Zhongliang was injured, he served as the sentry commander at the No. 10 sentry. After Li Zhongliang went down the mountain to treat, he returned to the No. 1 sentry and persisted until he evacuated the position. During
, Wang Lipin was also injured twice. "These two times were injured by shell shrapnel. Once, the right foot was injured. That time was not very serious. The other time was the right hand. The shrapnel entered from the tiger's mouth, and the shrapnel is still inside." Now every rainy day, his right hand is still a little numb.
After 108 days of persistence, Wang Lipin and his team finally retreated from the front line. After statistics from the army, he killed 6 Vietnamese soldiers, injured 8 people, and won the first-class merit. "9 people in our class, 6 people first-class merit, two people second-class merit, and one person third-class merit. The class was awarded the first-class merit." When he just came down from the sentry, Wang Lipin often woke up, "I haven't been able to sleep well for many days, and I always felt that I was still in the position."This influence still existed until after retirement," During the Spring Festival that year of retirement, when I heard the sound of firecrackers, I put on my clothes and rushed out, but when I saw that there were lights from thousands of families. "I even dreamed of my comrades who died, "I walked to the near the refinery, and he (the comrades who died in Xintai ) came over with a shovel. I said, "Aren't you sacrificed?" He said he was not dead at that time, so he woke up at the crematorium and saw that there was no one and ran away. "Wang Lipin said that after he woke up from fright, he thought that his dream was true.
made a first-class merit and recommended to go to the military academy. However, he did not want his parents to worry too much, so he retired and returned home in 1986, arranged to work at the Jinan Automobile Construction General Factory, and worked as a boiler repairman. Later, he was transferred to the power branch and worked as an organizational officer for more than ten years.
At present, Wang Lipin has retired from the country. "Carry up with the good policies of the country and now enjoys the treatment of model workers. "He said that every two or three months, their 11 comrades in Jinan and two of them will gather together. Everyone recalled the cruel moments of war and talked about daily happiness and sadness.
Wang Lipin said that the experience of participating in the war was a valuable experience in life for him. "Peaceful eras are exchanged for blood. You must cherish this peaceful environment when you are born in the present. "
