(The following is a tribute to the martyrs, which can be skipped)

In 1950, US imperialism brazenly launched the Korean War, openly crossed the 38th parallel, and threatened China's borders. After careful consideration by the central authorities, it was decided to call on the people of the whole country to resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend the country!

At this time, Guan Chonggui was already an honorable Communist Party member, and he actively responded to the call, resolutely joined the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, and in June of the same year, he followed Commander Peng Dehuai to the Korean battlefield.

In Beiping in June, the sun scorched the earth and Guan Chonggui's heart, and he felt unprecedented anxiety, which was mixed with excitement and his own enthusiasm.

As time went on, the farther north he went, the calmer he became, and the long journey soothed his emotions until he had completely crossed the Yalu River.

Along the way, his mind was full of fragments of his life in the previous twenty years, and the Japanese who appeared on the Kitamanshan Road lingered in his mind, and he wanted to make a career very much.

The moment the team stepped into the Korean battlefield, he looked back in the direction of his motherland, where there were people waiting for him to go home, and he naturally wanted to go back.

Immediately afterwards, he handed over his fate to the party and the thousands of people behind him!

Guan Chonggui, who has been fighting for a living since he was a child, is very brave on the battlefield, never flinching when he charges, and he gradually grows up. Because he gets along well with his comrades-in-arms, Guan Chonggui is very popular in the army.

As time progressed, the situation of the war also changed rapidly. In February 1951, before the cold winter of North Korea passed, Guan Chonggui received a very important task.

At that time, his team was stationed near the 614 Heights in Longtouli, and in order to prevent the enemy from attacking from a high position, the small hill in front of the 614 Heights must be firmly controlled by the volunteers.

This hill is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are no solid fortifications at present, so it is not easy to hold on. The company commander told Guan Chonggui that he must lead the machine gun crew to hold on to the main position to repel the attack until the battlefield on the 614 heights was completely taken.

After receiving the order, Guan Chonggui immediately did not hesitate, he saluted the company commander and said: "Please rest assured, instructor, I am here, and the position is there!" ”

Then he led the machine-gun crew to crouch and grope for the hill. Who knew that looking at the short distance, because the enemy's fire was too fierce, by the time they actually reached the top of the mountain, it was already close to nine o'clock in the evening.

At the end of the winter night in Korea, the dry grass mixed with the frost had not yet faded, and the cold breath exhaled and dissipated into fog, Guan Chonggui and his comrades-in-arms half-squatted on the edge of the mound on the hill and began to build fortifications.

Since entering the Korean War, after several tosses, the military shovel, which was originally larger than a pu fan, is now less than the size of a palm. Guan Chonggui went down with a shovel, and only a deep mark with frost was carved out of the frozen ground on the hill, indicating the fact that this task was even more difficult.

Everyone didn't speak, just kept digging bunkers and trenches with shovels and pickaxes. The cold invaded, and soon, blood bubbles appeared on everyone's hands, and the frozen hands mechanically repeated the action of digging the earth.

The sky was slightly white, and they finally completed the construction of the battle bunker trench. In the state of taking turns to observe the surroundings, several people quickly took dry food to pad their stomachs, and after a while, the enemy began to attack the main position again.

At that time, the US military adopted the "butcher operation" combat plan, with fighter planes suppressing at low altitude, artillery rear support, and army front-end charging as the main combat mode. In the process of constantly advancing the flames of war, the Chinese and North Korean armies will not be given a chance to breathe.

Guan Chonggui watched the enemy continue to press closer to the main position, and he knew that the US army had not expected that they had taken the hill next to 614. But this position is not easy to take, and he cannot be exposed without an order from his superiors.

Suddenly, four enemy fighters appeared one after another from a nearby hill, projected at low altitude, and circled around the main position, full of provocation.

Guan Chonggui looked very angry, he thought to himself, when he has an anti-aircraft gun in his hand, he has to knock down this Yankee's broken plane and smash it to pieces!

Rounds of diving, strafing, and bombing, the main position suffered heavy casualties, and everyone was gritting their teeth and holding on. Nearly half an hour passed, the enemy fighters were running out of fire, and the ground troops began to charge.

Guan Chonggui was very angry in his heart, but he was still waiting, waiting for the main force of the enemy army to enter the range of machine gun fire. Three seconds, two seconds, one second, Guan Chonggui turned over and set up a machine gun to strafe.

Obviously, the enemy was bewildered by the sudden high-level strafing fire, and the fire was too heavy, and it was quickly crushed. The enemy retreated, and the location of the hill was exposed, but a fiercer life-and-death struggle was yet to come.

After a long time, the enemy fighters roared again, and the two went straight to the vicinity of the hill. The fighter plane that suddenly swooped down from behind kept strafing and bombing, Guan Chonggui firmly protected the machine gun under him, and the frozen soil in the trench exploded, making a mess, and the small hill was almost turned over.

The fighters flew around close to the high ground, seeing that the fortifications were almost unstoppable, the comrades-in-arms were still around, the main position must be defended, and Guan Chonggui couldn't care about anything. Rather than waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the enemy fighter to fly upward, he picked up the machine gun and stood, set the machine gun on the edge of the ditch, and pointed at the fighter plane! Eight bullets went out and missed. However, the enemy obviously did not expect that someone would machine gun sweep the plane, and they were also startled and changed directions.

Guan Chonggui was obviously exposed, and his comrades-in-arms pulled him hard to let him find cover to hide, but Guan Chonggui was cross-minded and used himself as a target to attract enemy fighters away from the main position.

Soon, the second fighter roared in, and Guan Chonggui strafed it again! A shuttle! This time, he made special use of the "advance amount" knowledge he had learned in the army at that time for the purpose of hitting a fast-moving target.

Eight rounds passed, and the fighter plane flew away from the hill and towards the rear mountain. Guan Chonggui's brain roared, but he heard the continuous cheers from the main position: "Hit!" "After a while, the sound of explosions in the mountains behind was exceptionally clear.

Everyone was ecstatic, but his comrades-in-arms still dissuaded Guan Chonggui, he set up a machine gun to fight the plane, which was a violation of discipline, how should this be good? Guan Chonggui didn't think so, anyway, the enemy fighters had already fled, and the main position must have been preserved.

The victory in this battle was a great victory, and the deeds of Guan Chonggui's machine gun fighting also spread throughout the ranks of the volunteers, and everyone hoped that this victory would reduce the punishment of this comrade by the superiors.

The battalion reported to the regiment, the regiment to the army, and the level by level, and finally to the commander at this time.

Instead of blaming him, the commander who heard the news laughed and said: Rules are dead, people are alive. The Yankees' plane is not impossible to shoot, and this soldier should be credited with special merit.

In this way, Guan Chonggui successfully won a special merit with the title of "the first person to fight planes with a machine gun".

Later, Guan Chonggui single-handedly suppressed hundreds of American troops from the position, and all the soldiers around him were killed, and he held on for two days and two nights without eating, drinking, or sleeping!

When the commander of the 42nd Army of the Volunteer Army saw that the enemy had sent hundreds of warplanes to bomb a high ground in turn, he sent two battalions to search. Only then did I see Guan Chonggui, who was so hungry that he couldn't stand up and was paralyzed in the pile of corpses, with more than 30 enemy guns next to him.

In this battle, Guan Chonggui was promoted to three levels in a row! Awarded the title of Battle Hero and hailed as the "Greatest Soldier" of the Korean War!

In 1953, the U.S. military retreated to the 38th parallel and signed an armistice agreement, and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea ended with the victory of the Volunteers! Guan Chonggui is finally home!

The war honed a young man's consciousness of life and death, fame and fortune, and for many years afterward, Guan Chonggui lived in a simple place, he hid his merits and fame, and lived a dull life.

When people told his resume one by one, they found that none of the family members of the combat hero had relied on his military exploits, and they had never used it to gain merit and fame.

According to the reporter's understanding, Guan Chonggui's eldest daughter works as a worker in a factory, the second daughter works in a supply and marketing cooperative, and the eldest son has been driving a car since his demobilization, and these jobs are all earned by their own labor, and there has never been anything to do under the pretext of their father's power.

And when his young son had never had a job, someone wanted to use his power to arrange for him, and by the way, he sold the favor of the old man. Guan Lao refused, and said: This is not troublesome to organize, he will go to burn the boiler without work!

Which Cheng thought, this is such a sentence, the young son Guan Youzhong really found a job as a boiler burner. A loving mother loves her son, her wife has been distressed many times, and Guan Lao has never been moved by it, and she has asked her to leave it alone on the grounds of exercising.

Looking back on this life, his state of mind is still that of the young man who was determined to serve the country! He remembered the Japanese in the northern mountains, the cold winter in Korea, the roar of the plane explosion, and the position where the ghost gate was closed......

It's just that the years are not forgiving, and they are still old after all.

In June 1988, Guan Chonggui was diagnosed with liver cancer and died in Jilin two months later at the age of 63!

Salute to the heroes! Salute to Mr. Guan!
