Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

Chen Wangyang was moved again when he heard this:

Pine Bone Peak!

This old man Du Bayi was actually a witness to the battle at Songgu Peak!

The Battle of Songgu Peak, also known as the Songgu Peak Blockade, took place in November 1950. In November 11, the 112th Regiment of the 335th Division of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army penetrated all the way to the Songgu Peak area in order to pursue the beautiful Chinese troops who fled south.

The Third Company of the 335st Battalion of the th Regiment was ordered to seize the unknown high ground on the north side of Songgu Peak and intercept the enemy!

In this battle, the officers and soldiers of the Third Company, with only a hundred men, held off several enemy divisions for more than ten hours without any danger to defend!

Although there were only seven people left in the company in the end, they finally won the battle, buying valuable time for the main force to surround and annihilate the enemy and win the second battle!

Later, Shisi awarded the third company a "offensive and defensive" banner to record the collective special merit. The 38th Army Military Headquarters awarded the third company the title of "Heroic Troop"!

It can be said that the heroic third company at that time was like a god. After all, they only had a hundred and ten people, but they not only repelled attacks by tens of thousands of enemies, but also killed and wounded more than 500 beautiful soldiers. !

Almost all of the company, from the company commander and instructor to the cooks and correspondents, died, and in the end only seven people were left!

What a heroic feat this is?

Du Bayi’s narration has not stopped yet:

"...Our instructor Yang Shaocheng ran out of bullets, so he fought with the American Japs with bayonets. At that time, several American Japs surrounded him, but he was not afraid of the danger and shouted: 'Comrades, hold your position!' Then he resolutely I fired the glory bomb and died together with those devils from the beautiful country!"

Having said this, Old Du Bayi burst into tears. He held the pen with the word "Bayi" engraved on it tightly in his right hand and choked with sobs:

"This pen was given to me by our instructor. He also said that he would teach me chemistry after winning! Why am I the only one who survived..."

At this time, Du Bayi couldn't speak anymore. He beat his legs and lost his voice in pain...

Chen Wangyang's eyes were also moist. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Du Bayi to prevent him from continuing to beat his stump. He said comfortingly:

"Old squad leader, please don't do this. Instructor Izumi Izumi will not feel at ease seeing you like this!"

……

Under the persuasion of Chen Wangyang and Tian Xuelian, Du Bayi finally recovered, wiped his tears and said sheepishly:

"Xiao County Magistrate Chen, I'm kidding you. I haven't shed tears in years. I cried a while ago when I found out that Qing'er had stopped crying. I don't know what happened today but I couldn't hold it back..."

Chen Wangyang knew that he could not continue this topic. Du Ba was already old and suffered from injuries all over his body. If he continued to be sad, he might not be able to afford it. He quickly changed the subject and said:

"Old squad leader, you are a special meritorious official. Logically speaking, the state should give you a lot of subsidies. How come you don't even have money for retirement?"

Seeing that her wife didn't want to say anything, Tian Xuelian quickly said:

"County Magistrate Xiao Chen, you don't know something. Our Lao Du does receive a lot of subsidies every month, but he sends them all anonymously to the families of his comrades who sacrificed their lives, so..."

Hearing this, Chen Wangyang could no longer suppress the admiration in his heart. He stood up and saluted Du Bayi with a military salute and said sincerely:

"Old squad leader, on behalf of all the PLA soldiers, I salute you!"
