Preface
Luo Guangxie (xiè), from Lezhi County, Sichuan Province. In August 1960, he joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In 1962, in the self-defense counterattack operation on the Sino-Indian border, in order to clear the enemy's stronghold, he sacrificed his life to roll thunder continuously with his body, and opened up a road to victory for our counterattack troops. When he died, he was only 21 years old.
Being an engineer is also defending the motherland
In August 1960, a team of military trucks carrying new soldiers were galloping on the vast Gobi Desert, heading towards the frontier of the motherland. Luo Guangxie, who joined the army from Xinjian Village, Baolin District, Lezhi County, Sichuan Province, sat in the car. As early as half a year ago, he signed up for the application. He was so angry that he was not approved and felt like he had lost his soul all day long. How long he wants to become a People's Liberation Army soldier!
This day has finally arrived! He met Huang Jiguang's mother in his hometown. He heard her introduce Huang Jiguang's heroic deeds. He was determined to defend the motherland with practical actions like Huang Jiguang.
Luo Guangxie
Luo Guangxie arrived at Border Defense Force , and the leader decided to assign him to Engineering Company . Luo Guangxie also had a small mood in this regard. He said: "Engineers and engineers are just building bridges, roads and houses. What is this to defend the motherland!"
One night, the instructor talked to Luo Guangxie and told him that all the troops in our army are like four legs on a table, and no one can be missing. When fighting, can infantry, artillery, tank soldiers besides engineers?
After listening to the instructor, Luo Guangxie finally understood the value of the engineer.
Soon, the training of professional engineering subjects began. In order to master the excellent skills of defending the motherland as soon as possible, Luo Guangxie trained mines wherever he was hard; he would dig wherever he was hard; Gradually, his military technology improved rapidly. In a training competition organized by the entire company, Luo Guangxie, a new soldier, actually won the first place in the entire company.
One morning, the company organized a competition, and the company commander intended to compete with Luo Guangxie and Chen Qihua, the thunder model of the entire company. The training ground was crowded with people. Luo Guangxie and Chen Qihua stood side by side, and after a single order, they started operations. The deputy instructor held the stopwatch in his hand and shouted "Prepare-start!" The two of them immediately knelt down on one leg and quickly dug the thunder pit. The soldiers who visited
held their breath and watched the battle with concern. Everyone kept cheering for him, "Luo Guangxie! Come on! Luo Guangxie! Come on!" Luo looked sideways and found that he was behind. How can this work? He held the shovel tightly with both hands and digged hard. Just as Chen Qihua dug the thunder pit and started connecting the fuse and the detonator, Luo Guangxie also dug the thunder pit. He was not panicked at all, putting the shovel, putting the mines in the pit, skillfully connecting the fuses and detonators, and burying them quickly. It was only two seconds after he buried his thunder body and pretended to report "good". Chen Qihua shouted "good". After inspection and evaluation, Luo Guangxie was not only fast, but also pretended to be better than Chen Qihua.
Mine
Frostbite on both hands, and also to go to the front line
In the winter of 1962, an infuriating news came from the foot of Karakoram Mountain: the invading Indian army continued to add strongholds in our country and sent planes to invade our airspace...
In order to defend the sacred territory of the motherland, the engineer company where Luo Guangxie was located was ordered to drive up Karakoram Mountain with the troops. The towering Karakoram Mountains are soaring into the sky, with ice ditches and snow slopes everywhere, and the cold air is overwhelming. On the Karakoram Mountain at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, let alone acting, even lying there will feel that it is not enough to be angry. However, not far from the mountain is the enemy's stronghold, and we are machine gun facing our soldiers.
In order to give supplies to brother troops, the soldiers of the engineering company were burdened and struggling to march towards a high ground more than 5,000 meters. There is no road there, it is an ice ditch and snow slope that even animals cannot climb. Take a step, slide, and if you are not careful, you will roll down the mountain with someone.
The Party Branch of the Engineer Company considers the danger of high mountains and high roads, and stipulates that each soldier must not carry more than one bag of white surfaces at a time; and carry other things, no more than 50 kilograms. At the beginning, in order to implement the regulations, Luo Guangxie had to walk faster than others, and after delivering the things to the mountain, he would come back to pick up others. Or, someone else carries it once, he carries it twice.
Once, he carried two bags of flour and ran away. Someone shouted, "Who asked you to carry so much?"
Luo Guangxie ignored it, just smiled at the comrade, and then walked forward with big strides.
He climbed the ice crack on the wall of the ice ditch, and then grabbed the exposed stones on the snow slope, kicked his feet tightly, and moved forward with difficulty. The mountain was so steep and the road was so slippery that he was exhausted and dry. At this time, he needed a few sips of water, but he picked up a pot of water on his body and was about to drink it, but suddenly he remembered that his comrades on the mountain needed water more than him, so he tightened the lid of the pot and moved forward with difficulty. He climbed up to the top of the mountain, put down the flour, and poured the water from the kettle into his comrade's kettle, then he smiled and walked down the mountain facing the mountain wind.
Karakoram Mountain
Karakoram Mountain suddenly sounded fierce guns and cannons. The enemy actually launched an armed attack on our border defense forces. Our outpost was surrounded by the enemy; our comrades were killed and injured by the enemy's artillery fire. Unable to bear it, our border defense forces were forced to fight back on their own defense.
Luo Guangxie is ready to participate in the battle at any time. He checked his weapons and equipment over and over again, not letting go of every button on his shoelaces and even the clothes. One day, the engineers were connected to the order and sent 10 soldiers to carry out blasting missions with the infantry. When Luo Guangxie heard the news, he quickly ran to the company headquarters to carry out the mission. If he didn't agree, he would squat and not leave, and he had to ask for participation in this battle.
In the early morning, Luo Guangxie and his comrades entered the position to hide under the leadership of the platoon leader. As soon as the artillery attack began, Luo Guangxie took off his fur shoes, changed into light rubber shoes, opened the safety cover of the blasting cylinder , and placed his elbows on the trench, waiting for the impact signal. At
8:30, two red signal flares rose to the clear sky. Before the squad leader's "forward" command had not yet fallen, Luo Guangxie had already picked up the blasting tube and rushed out. In order to move easily, he took off his gloves despite the severe cold of more than 40 degrees below zero, holding the blasting tube tightly with his bare hands and moving forward bravely. Luo Guangxie's hands were cold, and he was still holding the blasting tube. Even if he was numb, he still did not let it go. After the battle of
, he found that his hands were frostbite, his injuries were 2 degrees, his skin was red, swollen and blistered, and he couldn't even hold the bowl even when he was eating. But when the company commander asked him to go to the hospital for frostbite, he refused to go. No matter who advised him, he always answered like this, "When is this? How can I be hospitalized?" Later, he went to the temporary bandaging center to ask the sanitary staff to bandage it.
Luo Guangxie waited for two days in a state of anxiety, and the engineers were subjected to the second combat mission. But the company commander decided to let him stay in the housekeeper, because the frostbite on Luo Guangxie's hands in the past two days had become even worse. His hands turned into two purple-red meat buns, and white and bright water bubbles were one by one. But no one can stop Luo Guangxie from participating in the battle at . The company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader didn't know how much verbal was spent on him, and even forced his "order" to stay, but Luo Guangxie didn't obey anything he said. There is no way for everyone to be angry and love him. By the afternoon of the next day, Luo Guangxie still got on the position.

sacrificed himself to roll thunder and sacrificed his life bravely
This combat mission is to counterattack the invading enemy of a certain stronghold. This stronghold is an important position for the enemy to invade our country. Behind it is the enemy's military airport and command center. Therefore, the enemy built strong ring fortifications here, with more than a dozen bunkers relying on each other, and dense landmines were laid out. More than a dozen tanks squat near the position. The latest cannons supplied by the United States are also placed behind the positions. They fire their cannons every day, and the snow on the mountain is blown up. It seems that a fierce battle must be fought to clear this stronghold.
At dusk, the engineer company set off. After dark, they had already penetrated a deep trench. The ditch was full of snow, the cold wind was biting, and the cold air was blowing. The slope of the groove is 40 or 50 degrees, and it is wave-like. If you are not careful, you will slip.The soldiers struggled to climb the gap in the ditch wall and move forward. In a short while, a string of ice beads formed on each of them’s fur hats and eyebrows. However, no one is willing to fall behind. Some people rolled downhill, some made the stone cut their faces, and blood cloted on the wound. Luo Guangxie gasped and moved his legs. Although the air was thin and he had difficulty breathing, he refused to stop at a single step. He fell down, and he got up and left when he turned over; the sharp burrs hung up the clothes and he pulled them away hard. The squad leader of saw that he had an injury on his hand and wanted to carry a gun for him. Not only did he refuse to agree, he snatched the guns of two single and weak soldiers in the class and ran ahead to open the way. When the troops arrived at the foot of the mountain where the attacking position, the dog's air suddenly changed, clouds were covered with heavy snow, and strong winds roared. The soldiers all stopped to take a breath and accumulated their strength to prepare for climbing the mountain. Luo Guangxie could not suppress the excitement in his heart and whispered to the squad leader: "Squad leader, this time, I want to make contributions to the motherland!"
Just as the dawn of the day, they climbed to the top of the mountain that rushed to the starting position. The infantry followed. Luo Guangxie looked forward from his hidden snowy depression, what a dangerous terrain! The invading enemy's stronghold and the two peaks where we attacked the starting position were located, surrounded by white clouds, like two islands among the surging waves. Connecting them is a ridge that is more than 1,000 meters long, with cliffs on both sides like sharp edges, like sharp blades. The bare peaks, the bare steep slopes, there is nothing to cover or hide. He realized that the situation was not good for us, our artillery had not yet come up, and if the road ahead was blocked by fire, there would be no other way to go. He frowned, bit his lips tightly, and resolutely opened Wuliang's gun stab.

At this time, the snow became heavier, and the flying snowflakes were flying with the undirected wind. The enemy's strongholds turned into clusters of small white dots on the hilltop, which were blurred, and barbed wire and minefields disappeared. Several vaguely visible trenches surrounded the bunkers and spread out, making the enemy's positions look like a wolve pretending to be sleeping, secretly peeking at us.
Luo Guangxie heard footsteps behind him and looked back and saw that it was the communicator who ran towards the platoon. only heard the correspondent whisper: "The leader ordered you to send a blasting team to cooperate with the sharp knife squad to search and advance, eliminate landmines, and be careful to be concealed." The platoon leader asked the deputy platoon leader to lead the first team of the first squad to serve as the blasting team and set off immediately!
Sharp Knife Squad set off, the blasting team of the engineer company and the infantry followed behind and advanced silently. What a difficult road! The ridges of the mountain were covered with pine weathered fossils, covered with a layer of white snow, and nothing could be seen. Luo Guangxie followed the platoon leader tightly. As he walked, he opened his eyes wide, trying to see from the vast snowflakes where the Sharp Knife had reached. Suddenly, a loud "boom" sound came from the sound of the wind. Why? Are the deputy platoon leaders and others approaching the minefield and starting to remove landmines? No, the sound of the explosion cylinder cannot be heard in the sound. Luo Guangxie stopped and looked at the platoon leader in confusion. He heard the order from the platoon leader: "Blasting team, run forward!"
It turned out that the "boom" sound was the deputy platoon leader slipping on the slope while stepping on the weathered fossil sheet, hitting a landmine. Now, our army exposed its target. In an instant, the enemy's machine guns and cannons opened fire together, blocking the way forward. On the narrow ridge of the mountain, countless bright red fire snakes rolled, and the blocking cannons formed several dense fire curtains like shuttle woven fabric. The gravel ice that soared into the sky was like a sudden thunderstorm. The advance warrior was pressed against the snow by fire and could not even raise his head.
is in a difficult situation and time is tight. The head of the command center kept shaking the phone, and the communicator sent one order after another: Before the enemy reinforcements arrived, they must clear the stronghold!
PLA soldiers
The most important thing in the battle of the engineer company is to quickly eliminate landmines and open up the road ahead.The leader of the row yelled: "Captain 3rd squad leader! Pay attention, the thunder field is covered with snow, be careful!"
, who couldn't wait, actually forgot that he was the second squad leader, and he was about to rush with his bow. He was caught, so Luo Guangxie had to stop and wait. He stared at the glittering artillery fire and the figures of his comrades moving forward in the smoke of gunpowder. Suddenly, a thick smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the comrades on the road ahead disappeared.
Luo Guangxie bit his lips tightly, and his chest was undulating violently. In order to win, the road must be opened! The heavy responsibility fell on the shoulders of the second squad.
The one who rushed in front was Luo Guangxie. He had a white towel around his neck, a gun on his back, and held the blasting tube tightly in his hands, rushing forward desperately. Bullets are roaring and shells are roaring. He lay down with the rumbling sound of shells and jumped up with the rising smoke of gunpowder. He rushed up the slope and broke through two blocking artillery fire. Under the slope of
is the minefield. Luo Guangxie placed a flag in his hand behind a large stone and then advanced again. This is what he planned to use this small flag to mark the way forward for the infantry after he opened up the path.
Just as Luo Guangxie stepped into a wool beach, a sudden "boom" sounded, and a landmine exploded. His blood flowed all over the ground, fainting from pain. When he loosened his hand, the blasting tube rolled to the bottom of the hillside.
Oil Painting: Luo Guangxie cleared the mines with his body
The comrades who were blocked by the enemy's firepower all stared at Luo Guangxie nervously. After a while, Luo Guangxie sat up. The strong soldier, while supporting his body with his hand, stared at the bunker at the enemy's stronghold, looked around and searching for his blasting tube. Suddenly, Luo Guangxie turned his face and waved to his comrades behind him. Suddenly, a heroic feat that shocked the world and shocked the mountains and rivers appeared in front of him: Luo Guangxie, with his injured body, suddenly pounced down and bravely rolled into the depths of the minefield!
"boom" and Luo Guangxie's right arm was blown off again. However, Luo Guangxie was still rolling tenaciously! He used his body to detonate landmines and open up paths!
"boom" another loud bang, black smoke columns burst out from the minefield, and white snow and gravel separated to both sides. The minefield has been opened! But Luo Guangxie, a heroic warrior, sacrificed his precious life to defend the motherland. He was only 21 years old at that time!
At this moment, the counterattack troops, which were blocked by the minefield, rushed up bravely and successfully cleared the strongholds that invaded the enemy. With grief and respect, the officers and soldiers raised a bright red flag high on the newly recovered territory of the motherland and on the land where Luo Guangxie was sprinkled with blood!
