Introduction
In April 1951, at the foot of the enemy position in Changxingli, the Korean battlefield, five volunteer soldiers climbed up the mountain carefully in the darkness of the night. The scouts led by
suddenly signaled the soldiers to lie down on the spot and did not move. Then they said to the soldiers beside them, "I will bite it off now. If I am injured or sacrificed, you will lead the whole class to rush forward! You must complete the mission, destroy the enemies on the mountain, and occupy the position!"
It turned out that the scouts were named Liu Qingliang. At this moment, he was about to break the mine trap hidden in the grass by the enemy.
has participated in the Battle of Shandong in , Huaihai in , Crossing the River in and has made many contributions. He is also a combat hero in the Huaye period. During the period of Resisting U.S. aggressing U.S. aggressing Korea, , Liu Qingliang has grown into an experienced reconnaissance platoon leader.

At a time when the volunteer army fought with the enemy for a long time and the situation was confusing, the reconnaissance team led by him completed arduous reconnaissance tasks many times, and repeatedly created combat miracles of winning with less.
The volunteer army at that time did not have the title of " Special Forces ", but with his strong individual combat capabilities, Liu Qingliang not only became the king of scouts in our army, but also a pioneer of special forces.
As one of the very few special meritorious officials who returned alive to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Liu Qingliang has also encountered a situation where his life is hanging on the line. As for how powerful his combat ability is, we might as well witness the miracle together!
1. Five-man reconnaissance team wiped out the enemy's armored platoon
When they first arrived at the Korean battlefield, Liu Qingliang served as the reconnaissance platoon leader of the 231st Regiment of the 77th Division of the 26th Army. Because the 26th Army failed to achieve ideal results in the Changjin Lake Battle, , the soldiers of the entire army were ready to fight a turnaround. After the fourth battle of
, after dozens of days of tug-of-war, neither the enemy nor us took advantage of it, and the war was in a stalemate. It was very important to quickly understand the enemy's next strategic deployment, and this was exactly the task of the scout.
On March 1951, Liu Qingliang led a five-man reconnaissance team to set off again. The task they received this time was to capture the "tongue", that is, to capture enemy soldiers to obtain the most accurate information. The
team first came to a small valley near Baochuan. As a major transportation route, there were many cars and horses coming and going on weekdays. If you want to ambush the enemy and catch your "tongue", the probability of success is still not low.
But the valley on that day was surprisingly calm, and the team squad was squaring here for a whole day without seeing any enemy signs. As the evening approached, Liu Qingliang felt a little anxious.
At this moment, the rumbling sounds in the distance attracted their attention. It turned out that an enemy tank and armored vehicles squad was marching, but the five-man team led by Liu Qingliang was not the combat effectiveness of these big guys at all.

As the enemy gradually approached, Liu Qingliang finally saw the opponent's lineup: 4 tanks, 3 armored vehicles, and a full two armored platoons' forces.
Logically speaking, the team did not need to sneak attack on this enemy armored platoon at this time. This would undoubtedly hit the stone with eggs. But at this moment, Liu Qingliang asked the team members to prepare for combat.
Facing the confusion of the team members, he just said lightly: "We have been here for a day, and we have come here, but we have not gained anything, so why not kill these guys!"
At first glance, Liu Qingliang's move was to show off his courage. In fact, he had already thought of an offensive strategy in his mind: the team took action in the narrow valley passage, and the team took action to blow up the two chariots in the first and last of the enemy's convoy. In this way, the chariots in the middle naturally became turtles in the jar, and the team defeated them one by one.
Because they did not carry anti-tank equipment, the team members could only rely on grenades and to conduct precise strikes on these big guys, and quickly ended the battle before the enemy could react.
finally waited until the enemy convoy entered the narrow valley road. Liu Qingliang jumped to the front of the formation first and threw a powerful grenade next to the track of the leading tank vehicle. After the explosion, the tank vehicle directly dropped the chain and could not continue to move forward.
At this moment, another team member came to the rear of the enemy fleet, lifted the cover of the armored vehicle, and threw an grenade in it. After the "boom", the rear armored vehicle also completely failed. After
, the members of the squad made the same move. All the tanks and armored vehicles in the middle of the enemy convoy were blown up. Liu Qingliang solved three tanks by himself. Before the enemy soldiers in the car could launch an effective counterattack, they were blown to death in the car alive. The whole process lasted less than 10 minutes.
When the battlefield was cleared later, Liu Qingliang also accidentally discovered an enemy soldier who was not killed by the bomb, and was immediately captured by the team. In this way, the task of Liu Qingliang and his group of people catching the "tongue" was successfully achieved.

This small-scale battle was Liu Qingliang's "first show" after coming to the Korean battlefield. He is so bold and meticulous, and he continues to create one combat miracle after another according to local conditions. Although his identity is a scout, his combat capabilities are better than other soldiers.
2. Attacking the south mountain of Changxing at night and annihilated the enemy's position
, a month after completing his "first show", Liu Qingliang once again faced a new test. In order to cooperate with the 230th Regiment to strike the enemy, he needed to capture the enemy's position in the south mountain of Changxing at the 230th Regiment.
One day in April 1951, the company commander ordered Liu Qingliang to take on this mission. Before leaving, he had a sincere instructing Liu Qingliang: "Comrade Liu Qingliang, the fifth battle is about to begin. Don't let down the expectations of your superiors. Do everything possible to take down the mountain and fight a bloody road for the subsequent main force!"
Taking advantage of the night, Liu Qingliang led the reconnaissance squad to the foot of the Nanshan Mountain. Because he had conducted detailed reconnaissance on the terrain in advance, the eight-man team began to quietly advance to the mountain along the Black Valley.
Because the South Mountain is connected by three hills, it looks like a pen holder, and it was previously a position of our army. Therefore, Liu Qingliang decided: the team searched and advanced southeast from the junction of the two mountains. When they arrived at the Ankou of the northwest mountain, three team members defended here, and the other five continued to advance to the mountain to cut off the enemy's support firepower after the war.
Just when the team arrived halfway up the mountain, they first encountered the enemy's courageous guns, and then successfully avoided the patrol of an enemy soldier. Just as Liu Qingliang was about to get closer to the enemy camp, an accident happened.
It turned out that while he was crawling forward, he encountered an iron wire hidden in the grass that was extremely difficult to detect. It was only about five centimeters above the ground, and there was a mine at each end. If he exerted more force, the two mines would explode immediately, and the enemy would instantly concentrate all the heavy firepower here to attack.
For Liu Qingliang and his group, even if they are exposed or killed by bombing, it is not a big deal, but delays the assist task of the entire team. Such mistakes are the most unbearable for them. Therefore, how to remove the mine trap in front of them is the most urgent matter.

Helplessly, the entourage did not carry equipment that could cut the wire. In the critical moment, Liu Qingliang thought of his teeth. Since he could not cut it short, he simply bit it off!
This is how the thrilling scene mentioned at the beginning is. When the other members of the team retreated a few steps, Liu Qingliang first pinched both sides of the wire with both hands, then held his breath and bit the wire hard. The air was filled with the "cucking" sound caused by the friction between the teeth and the wire. The other members of the
team couldn't help but feel sweaty for him. Not long after, Liu Qingliang really bit off the wire. He was sweating protruding his head and slowly spread his arms out of the way until his arms were completely opened and the head of the line fell smoothly. The trap carefully set by the enemy was completely lifted.
But when the members saw Liu Qingliang's face again, his nose felt sore. That was because his mouth was covered in blood. It can be imagined that he was also a flesh and blood body, not an iron-toothed bronze teeth. He used his teeth to bite the iron wire, and he would definitely not be able to do it without the determination to win.
crossed the enemy trap, and the position was in front of him. There was an bazooka position on the hill in the southeast. There was a small path behind it connecting the bunker. Once a battle situation occurred, the enemy soldiers from both places could take care of each other and work together to strike.
Faced with such an arrangement of enemy positions, Liu Qingliang made a quick decision: he left three members to attack the mountain. He and the soldier Lao Zhang detoured to the bunker, and then both sides launched an attack at the same time, making the enemy soldiers unable to support each other, and their chances of victory would be greatly improved.
When Liu Qingliang and Lao Zhang arrived at the top of the southeast, four figures suddenly appeared behind the cliff in front of him. Liu Qingliang immediately threw out a grenade, turned quickly and hid on the side of the cliff. As the explosion sounded, enemy soldiers and the blown stones rolled towards the ravine one after another. Lao Zhang on the other side of
took this opportunity to throw a grenade into the target bunker. Liu Qingliang also picked up the submachine gun and to cooperate with him. At this moment, a sleeping enemy soldier on the nearby artillery barrel position had just woken up. Liu Qingliang wiped it out, and then saw a helmet protruding from the bunker. Before the other party could see the situation clearly, Liu Qingliang decisively opened the gun and annihilated it.

In just a few seconds, the battle situation took a shocking reversal. The enemy sent another squad of troops to the bunker where Liu Qingliang was. Before he could tell the other party's identity, he immediately picked up the submachine gun and shot it back and forth. In the night, the enemy soldiers in front of him were shot dead and rolled down the valley.
solved a number of enemy troops. Another helmet was poked out from the bunker not far away. Liu Qingliang fired at it without any mercy. At this time, the entrance of the bunker was blocked by two corpses, and no matter how hard the enemy inside was, he could not launch an effective counterattack.
Then, a small group of enemy soldiers touched up on the hillside of southwest . Liu Qingliang and Lao Zhang threw grenades at the same time. Under the attack on both sides, the enemy soldiers were annihilated without launching any counterattack.
After that, the two of them could finally pick up their hands to clean up the remaining enemies in the bunker. Liu Qingliang dragged out the dead body at the entrance of the cave. Lao Zhang threw two grenades in, and with a strafing, he decided that all the enemy soldiers in the bunker had been wiped out before he could stop.
In just over ten minutes of battle, the other two groups also successfully occupied the enemy positions in their respective areas. After the war, no one of the eight-man team was injured or killed. The Changxingli Nanshan position finally returned to our army.
: This raid was due to Liu Qingliang leading the reconnaissance squad to fight a prepared battle. The subsequent sudden battle was the real test of his combat skills, and his righteous move on the way to complete the mission and make him make great achievements.
3. On the way to report, I took action to create another miracle.
Event also happened in the fifth battle. Once, after Liu Qingliang led a team to complete the reconnaissance mission, he encountered a seriously injured communication soldier on the way back.
At this time, Liu Qingliang quickly became alert and learned from the injured communication soldier that his company was fighting not far ahead and could hardly hold on.
Just imagine, a company could not resist the firepower, and the eight-man team led by Liu Qingliang was not an enemy opponent. Even so, he decided to go and support.

on the Korean battlefield and came to the target position. There was only one wounded person left in the company mentioned by the communications army, and after Liu Qingliang arrived, the eight-man team held here for an afternoon and successfully repelled five enemy attacks. A total of 28 enemies were raped, and Liu Qingliang solved 11 of them alone.
Because of this, the Volunteer Army Headquarters directly promoted him to the commander of the reconnaissance company and awarded the title of "First Class Hero", and awarded him a special merit once.
Although Liu Qingliang did not have a high military rank at that time and had no experience in leading troops to fight, from the perspective of individual soldiers and small team combat, he was the well-deserved "Soldier King" among the volunteer army.
The so-called "whether you can't walk by the river often, he has encountered extremely dangerous situations, but he has been through the battlefield for a long time. But Liu Qingliang is like a soldier born for battle. Even if he is seriously injured, he must put the completion of reconnaissance mission first, rather than save his life.
4. Sacrifice your life just to complete the reconnaissance mission
In August 1951, on the Douliu Peak position on the Korean battlefield, our army's operations were affected, and the enemy's outposts relaxed as a result, but this was the best time to reconnaissance the enemy's situation.
In the heavy rain, Liu Qingliang led the reconnaissance team to slowly touch it up. This time he was carrying out the "close reconnaissance" mission, and all fortifications and firepower points in the enemy camp were recorded one by one.
During the reconnaissance, the team accidentally discovered a minefield, which happened to be the only way for our army to launch an attack. Liu Qingliang immediately decided to carry out the mine removal and operation.
cleared mines under the enemy's nose, which showed the level of danger. However, Liu Qingliang relied on his bold and careful spirit to clear 13 mines and cleared a safety passage in the minefield. He did not forget to mark the safe route to facilitate the marching of the large army.

just ended, and the searchlight of the enemy's position shone on him. Liu Qingliang first shot and smashed the searchlight, and then blew up a smog in front of the enemy's position. He took this opportunity to evacuate with his team, and also blew up four enemy castles on the way.
At this moment, Liu Qingliang accidentally shot in the leg, and blood gushed out, not caring about pain and bandage. He immediately handed the reconnaissance map he marked to his deputy, ordered the other members of the team to continue to retreat, and he found a grass to hide.
When the enemy camp's firepower gradually subsided, Liu Qingliang began to bandage the wound, but he made an amazing move and touched the enemy's position again, just to reconnaise whether the enemy's firepower points had been adjusted.
One night of reconnaissance. After grasping the latest situation of the enemy camp, he returned to the regiment headquarters. Fortunately, the bullet did not hit the bone. Two or three months later, he recovered from his injuries and rushed to the front line with his reconnaissance team!
However, Liu Qingliang encountered a more severe life-and-death test in the execution of the mission, and even almost died. However, with his willpower that is different from ordinary people, he once again created the "Immortal Myth"!
5. Seriously injured and finally triumphantly ended in one day and two nights. In November 1951, with the difficult advancement of North Korean armistice negotiations, the volunteers on the front line still did not dare to relax their vigilance. In order to understand the enemy's movements and facilitate the volunteers to cooperate with the negotiations in the front, the reconnaissance company led by Liu Qingliang never stopped catching the "tongue" action. One day, in order to find out the latest developments of the enemy on the front line, Liu Qingliang brought two scouts to an enemy stronghold. Unfortunately, a soldier accidentally detonated a landmine. In an instant, the three of them became living targets. Fortunately, they quickly found the cover, and Liu Qingliang was able to hide in the dark to observe the enemy's firepower distribution.
Unexpectedly, the enemy then sent a platoon of troops, and more than 30 soldiers began to pursue along Liu Qingliang and the retreat route. The three squad members were quick to learn and took the initiative to choose three hidden points to exchange fire with the enemy soldiers who came to pursue.

Under the huge gap between the enemy and us, Liu Qingliang did not lose his position. He used the submachine gun and grenade together. In more than ten minutes, the enemy pursuit team of more than 30 people reimbursed 17 people. Then, he began to support the other two comrades.
Just when the enemy soldiers were basically wiped out, Liu Qingliang remembered the matter of catching the "tongue" and hurriedly shouted to the other two comrades: "Don't beat them to death, leave one to go back alive!"
Perhaps the sound was too loud and attracted the attention of the remaining enemies. Liu Qingliang accidentally got shot in the left leg. At this time, he realized that an enemy soldier who had been knocked down by him was sitting on the ground and shooting at him. In a critical moment, Liu Qingliang quickly solved the opponent first.
, another comrade in the team was also killed by the remaining enemy at this time. Only two soldiers left in the enemy army retreated in a hurry. Liu Qingliang raised his hand and shot him. One of them fell to the ground, and the other was scared.
Originally, Liu Qingliang planned to wipe out all the two, but there was only one bullet left in the gun. At a critical moment, he took out a dagger and shouted to the other party in the English he learned before going out: "Stop! Put the gun down!"
The scared enemy soldiers heard Liu Qingliang's warning and immediately raised their hands obediently and did not dare to move. This time the squad also completed the task of grabbing the "tongue" while fighting.
After confirming that there is no danger around, Liu Qingliang's injury became more and more critical. The wound kept bleeding, and the heart-wrenching pain made him unable to get up. But the most important thing in front of him was to send his "tongue" back to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible.
, knowing the priorities well, he did not hesitate much, carefully tied up his "tongue", and then ordered his comrades to take him away quickly without caring about him. Seeing that the company commander had made up his mind, the young soldier could only leave with the prisoners of war with tears in his eyes.
watched as his comrades leave. Liu Qingliang finally felt relieved and looked back at the enemy position ahead. He immediately launched himself to save himself, and after using a bandage to temporarily stop the bleeding, he barely stood up and slowly walked towards the regiment headquarters.
The bleeding wound was heart-wrenching. Even a tough guy like Liu Qingliang could not bear it easily. Slowly, he had to fall to the ground and rest because he lost too much blood. At this moment, he no longer had the strength to get up. The worst thing was that he had no sense of the left leg that was shot.
Picture | Volunteer soldiers in the snow
"Either crawl back to the regiment headquarters, or freeze to death here, or be discovered by the enemy's army and became prisoners of war!" Liu Qingliang was planning in his mind, holding a mouthful of snow, and secretly decided to climb back to the regiment headquarters. Even if he was frozen to death on the road, he could not be a prisoner of the enemy. On the snowy land, every step he climbed, his blood marks were on the ground.
Perhaps God was deeply moved by his feat. Close to the snow and a few sips of dry food, Liu Qingliang persisted in the snow for a whole day and two nights. This time he truly felt the approaching death. However, the cause of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea was not yet determined, so how could he be willing to leave like this? In the snow and ice, the only thing that supports him to climb down is the belief of "continue fighting".
Regiment Headquarters could not wait for Liu Qingliang to return, and everyone thought he had died. On the morning of the third day, when our soldiers saw the dying Liu Qingliang at the entrance of the regiment department, everyone was shocked. It was hard to imagine what he had experienced when he climbed back to the regiment headquarters under serious injuries. Only the blood stains stretching for dozens of miles behind him were silently telling the difficult journey.
After a full rescue, Liu Qingliang miraculously came to life. Unfortunately, the long-term snow crawling caused serious frostbite in his injured left leg and back. For a long time afterwards, he could only rest in the back.
Conclusion
This is the deeds of Liu Qingliang, a scout with extraordinary combat capabilities in individual soldiers. He has always been brave and resourceful in his missions, and he can be surrounded by dangers every time. This is not his luck, but his ability.
in his comrades said: "His tall and big nose looks are very similar to that of the US soldiers. In addition, due to his outstanding individual combat capabilities, the reconnaissance mission assigned to him by the regiment headquarters is extremely difficult every time."
For this reconnaissance veteran, not winning by number of people in the execution of missions. Strategically and tactical victory is the key to his repeated contributions. Especially from his subsequent two injuries to the position, he insists on his beliefs in the crisis. This spirit is the secret of the volunteer army being able to successfully repel the powerful enemy.

During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Liu Qingliang won the titles of "First Class Combat Hero" and "First Class Model". He also won the special merit once, first merit twice, second merit twice, and third merit twice.
After the end of the Korean War , Liu Qingliang was able to return safely and was a rare special hero who returned alive. When he returned to the local area, he continued to contribute his strength in his grassroots positions and has been rated as a national model many times.
In 1985, at the age of 63, he died of illness in his hometown in Shandong. Although the former "Soldier King" was not an important general of our army, his experience of many individual combat operations was destined to be a pioneer in the history of the development of our army's special forces!
