The deeds of soldiers who died in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
1952 10 In the Battle of Shangganling to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Huang Jiguang's battalion fought fiercely with the U.S.-led "United Nations Army" and the South Korean Army for four days and nights, and was ordered to capture the 597.9 highland on the west side of Shangganling on 19. After the troops captured three positions in a row, they were blocked by position zero, and three consecutive explosions were invalid. It's almost dawn. If we can't quickly destroy the enemy's central firepower point and seize the zero position, the whole fighter plane will be delayed. At the critical moment, Huang Jiguang, then the correspondent of the 6th Company of a certain department, stepped forward and requested to undertake the blasting task. He wrote in the resolution: "Resolutely complete the tasks assigned by superiors, strive to be a hero, and strive to join the party." He was immediately appointed monitor of Class Six. He led two soldiers to destroy several enemy bunkers bravely and tactfully. One comrade-in-arms died unfortunately, another comrade-in-arms was seriously injured and his left arm was pierced. In the face of the enemy's fierce shooting, he was fearless, endured the pain, quickly approached the enemy's central firepower point, and even threw several grenades, and the enemy's machine gun suddenly stopped shooting. When the troops attacked, the remaining machine guns in the fortress suddenly strafed wildly, and the offensive force was blocked again. At this time, he was injured in many places and his ammunition was exhausted. In order to win the battle, he stubbornly climbed to the bomb shelter. When he approached the hole in the bunker, he suddenly jumped up, blocked the enemy's gun hole with his chest and died heroically. Encouraged by Huang Jiguang's heroic feat, the troops quickly captured position zero and annihilated two battalions of defenders. Comrades rushed to the "zero" position and found that Huang Jiguang's stocky body was still pressing on the enemy's shooting hole, his hand was still clutching the sacks around him, and his broad chest was tightly blocking the enemy's muzzle ... People saw that Huang Jiguang's leg had been broken, and he was seriously injured in seven places, with a long blood print on his back. After the sacrifice, Huang Jiguang's whole body wound didn't bleed, and there was no blood in front of the bunker-blood ran out on the road! It is conceivable that at the last moment, Huang Jiguang climbed to the front of the enemy bunker with strong perseverance, dragging his badly injured body and jumping up again. A hero like Huang Jiguang, a ten thousand people in Qian Qian, Chinese people's Volunteer Army, can overwhelm all enemies with his flesh and blood and heroic spirit like steel, and defeat the steel weapons of the 16 Coalition led by the moldy country. After the war, Huang Jiguang was posthumously awarded the title of "superhero" by the headquarters of the Volunteers-only Yang Gensi and Huang Jiguang have won this honor in our army so far. The Army Party Committee approved him as party member of the Chinese Production Party and posthumously awarded him the title of "Model League Member". Chinese people's Volunteer Army's leading organs posthumously awarded him special meritorious service and the title of "superhero". The Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea posthumously awarded him the title of "National Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea", the Gold Star Medal and the First Class National Flag Medal.
