Eighteen Warriors
Resisting US Aggression and Aid KoreaDuring this period, I went to the 50th ArmyNorth KoreaIn the more than four years of war, 95 battles and battles were carried out, killing and injuring 14052 enemies in total. A large number of combat heroes and individuals emerged in the war.
Among the 50000 people who went to Korea to fight in the 50th Army, 20000 were from Yunnan.In the Han River resistance alone, more than 10000 people were killed in the 50 th Army. How many of these 10000 martyrs wereyunnanese In the special period of war, it is difficult to count.
In 2006, Li Tian, a reporter of Global Travel · Yunnan People Weekly, finally arrivedDepartment of Civil Affairs of Yunnan ProvinceA list of 1791 Yunnan martyrs was found.This is only a part of the martyrs with records that can be counted, and there are many heroes who have not been counted and recorded who have been buried in the mountains and rivers of North Korea.The eighteen warriors who attacked Shuiyuan City at night were all from Yunnan.

Dai Ruji led the reconnaissance team through the enemy's blockades.On the evening of the 25th, when they attacked Suwon City, about 50 kilometers south of Seoul, most of the officers and fighters were blocked outside the city by the fire of more than 10 machine guns of the enemy.Dai Ruji led 17 soldiers who rushed into the city and rushed to a building while fighting along the street. The 18 warriors used grenades, submachine guns and light aircraft guns to hit the enemy command post in the building yard, making the enemy dizzy.Then, he led the soldiers to rush into the hospital for another round of fierce fighting, killing and injuring more than 60 US troops, destroying and burning more than 10 enemy vehicles, seizing 2 mortars, 1 radio station, 1 light machine gun, and capturing 1 US military police.
18 The story of the warriors attacking Shuiyuan City at night was recorded on March 3, 1951《People's Daily》It was reported.In April 1953, with the victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea looming, Shanghai printed and issued 100000 copies of the "Eighteen Warriors of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army" pictorial, which was distributed to the whole country, so that people all over the country knew that all the eighteen warriors who attacked Shuiyuan City at night were from Yunnan.
A large number of combat heroes and individuals emerged in the 50th Army. One person blew up three tanks and pioneered light machine guns to shoot down enemy aircraft.From January 25 to March 15, 1951, the officers and men of the 50th Army fought heroically and tragically in the 50 day and night resistance war on both sides of the Han River!Seven entire companies, 31 entire platoons, and 138 entire classes of officers and men have all died in honor!More than 11000 enemies were killed and 61 captured by the 50th Army.

Night Attack on Water Source City
The divisions of the 50th Army crossed the Han River, continued to pursue the fleeing enemy southwards and annihilated one of his troops.On the 7th, it entered the water source near the "March 7th Line" and the first line in Jinliang Market.So far, only the last "E-line" of the five defense lines of the "United Nations Army" remains.
In view of the fact that three campaigns have been launched in the past two months, the troops are extremely tired and have been greatly reduced. The rear supply line has been suddenly extended from 100 kilometers to more than 500 kilometers. It is more difficult to transport grain and ammunition without air cover, and our strategic reserve team has not arrived in time. Peng Dehuai ordered all forces to stop chasing after they reached the "March 7th Line".On January 8, the third campaign ended, and the main force of the volunteer army turned to rest, ready to launch again in two monthsspring offensive 。After the 50th Army stopped pursuing, it withdrew the 442nd Regiment, which had advanced 70 li to the south of the water source, to the water source. The whole army turned to the defense on the spot. The army mobilized: we stood in front to cover the main force for rectification and preparation for a big battle!
The objective weakness of the volunteer army was discovered by Li Qiwei, the newly appointed commander of the 8th Army Group of the United States.The US military quickly mobilized a large number of veterans from Japanese, European and local garrisons to supplement the troops, and transferred the 10th US Army stationed in Busan to the vicinity of the "March 7th Line".Then, on January 15, some mechanized troops were organized by "magnetic tactics" to carry out a tentative attack between Shuiyuan and Lichuan, in an attempt to stop our offensive with a war of attrition, so that when it was advantageous to them, they could seize the main points and turn to counter attack;When the situation is unfavorable, shrink quickly to avoid attack.
On January 25, after the US and South Korea armed forces used modern reconnaissance equipment to find out our dilemma, they gathered five armed forces, 16 divisions, 3 brigades, and a regiment of ground troops with more than 230000 airborne troops. Under the cover of all aviation and armored forces, they launched large-scale attacks from west to east along the eastern and western lines.
In this counter attack, the main force of the US military was concentrated on the western line, focusing on the front 30 km from Nomuri to Jinliangchang, and carrying out major raids in the direction of Seoul along both sides of the railway from Shuiyuan to Seoul.The 50th Army, which organizes defense in the 40km area from Yemuli to Anqingchuan, north of Shuiyuan City, bears the brunt.
In order to find out the enemy's situation and disrupt the enemy's offensive deployment, Dai Ruji, deputy battalion commander of the third battalion of 445 regiment of 149 division of the 50th Army, was ordered to lead the 8th company of the battalion, the reconnaissance company of the division and the reconnaissance platoon of the regiment to attack Shuiyuan City at night on the night of January 25.
The water source is a medium-sized city with a population of hundreds of thousands. It was not so big at that time and was an empty city. But it was not small for the surprise troops.On the morning of the 25th, a battalion of the 25th American Division and a gendarmerie unit entered the water town that our army had just voluntarily abandoned, and there were also troops on the nearby highlands.
Dai Ruji's task is to penetrate the enemy's heart, stir up Shuiyuan City, kill the spirit of American devils, and then catch a "tongue" to come back and ask: What is the cause of two Americans who have been defeated three times in the past month?
The task of attacking Shuiyuan City at night is arduous. Shuiyuan City is twenty or thirty miles away from our front. It is also a snowy night. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Our only advantage is that we dare to fight close to each other at night and become famous with bayonets!
Dai Ruji is a man of Naxi nationality. His hometown is in Lijiang County, Yunnan Province.Zhongyong, a famous Naxi athlete in Lijiang, has been the "King of Yunnan" for two timesTang JiyaoLong Yun recruits soldiers to guard the guards, and most of them are attracted to the children raised in Lijiang Yulong Snow Mountain.Faced with many difficulties, when Dai Ruji accepted the task, he only put forward a request that he had been pursuing hard for nearly two years and failed to fulfill his wish: "If I die, please organize to recognize me as a Communist!"
It was a windy and snowy night. The wind and snow swept the mountains and villages violently. The snow flakes twisted in the wind like needles and nails, beating the people who dared to compete with it face to face.
According to the coordinated plan of attacking Shuiyuan City at night, the division reconnaissance company and the regiment reconnaissance platoon covered outside the city, and Dai Ruji led the eighth company into the city.After the night attack team found the north gate of Shuiyuan City, Dai Ruji's commander's reconnaissance company and regiment reconnaissance platoon occupied the Danan Mountain highland in the southeast of Shuiyuan City to cover it, and then led the eight companies to the city at 1 a.m.
The army has just touched the first sentry, "Hello!" The enemy found the second sentry.
The machine gunner Ni Yucheng was about to shoot, but Dai Ruji held him down. "Don't worry about him, hurry up!" When the enemy sentry saw the other party's swagger, he thought he was "his own man" and stopped shouting.
When the night attack team came to the street corner of Shuiyuan City, they were finally found by the enemy. Immediately, a flame burst out from a small house on the left, "DadDada......" The street corner was sealed.
Dai Ruji quickly and decisively ordered the 8th company to turn from sneak attack to strong attack, "Chen Youzhi, quickly kill the enemy machine gun fire point!"
Chen Youzhi pulled out two grenades and jumped across the road, only to see a flash of red light and the enemy's machine gun dumbbed with two loud noises.
"Comrades, run with me!" Dai Ruji and his men had just rushed into the street, when suddenly there was a loud gunshot behind him, and the searchlights around were also turned on one after another.He looked back and saw that more than 10 flames had sealed the street again, cutting off the night attack team. The main force was pressed outside the city by the fierce fire of the enemy, and those who entered the city were also in the enemy's fire net.
A brave man wins when he meets him on a narrow road. Dai Ruji decisively orders the soldiers around him to "follow me and fight in!" Immediately, there is a burst of violence.
When Dai Ruji and others reached the center of the street in one breath, they found a "Ocean Tower" on the right side of the intersection. The building was surrounded by dark trees and barbed wire. There was a tank and seven jeeps parked in the yard. The lights were bright and the voices were noisy. Several jeeps were starting, and the frightened enemy was in a panic.It seems that this place is a command organ of the enemy.Dai Ruji immediately collected the staff.After counting the number of people, there are only 18 of them.Daruji, who was secretly surprised, could not think much about it and immediately made a battle plan: "Ni Yucheng, you take a team to block the street crossing; Liao Zhongliang, block the hospital entrance; Wang Hongpei, cut off the telephone lines around the building; the rest of the staff followed me to fight in!"
Just after the words, grenades, submachine guns and light machine guns rolled towards the "Ocean Tower" like a sudden storm.
Chen Youzhi, who rushed into the yard, first sealed the door of the "Ocean Tower" with a submachinegun. Li Chuncheng jumped up quickly and threw two grenades into it.At the moment of the grenade explosion, another soldier rushed to the building door.Unexpectedly, he was hit by bullets from stairs and windows.
After the first charge was frustrated, Wu Liang, the deputy platoon leader, led a group to the "Ocean Tower" again.As soon as Wu Liang rushed into the building, he was blown out by the enemy's grenade.Dai Ruji saw Wu Liang holding his right hand and blood flowing down his sleeve. He asked with concern, "Wu Liang, can you do it?"
"OK!" Wu Liang bit his teeth and rushed in again without saying a word.After a while, a US prisoner with a carbine on his neck was dragged out of the building.
Under the enemy's searchlight, Dai Ruji suddenly noticed that the prisoner was wearing an armband with the word "MP" on his arm, and shouted happily, "Comrades, we have captured the enemy gendarmerie. This is the enemy's command post. Go inside!"
The Eighteen Warriors, like sharp sharp knives, stabbed into the "Ocean Tower", leaving the enemy's viscera scattered, making the arrogant American soldiers cry and flee in the daytime.Even the tank escaped without a trace.
After the capture of the "Ocean Tower", Dai Ruji immediately ordered to burn down the cars and military supplies that could not be taken away, and took the prisoners and quickly evacuated the battlefield from the east gate.
When the Eighteen Warriors retreated to a small hill outside the city, the enemy woke up and organized artillery to aim at the north gate.
The Eighteen Warriors attacked Shuiyuan City at night, annihilated a whole platoon of the Gendarmerie Company directly under the US 25th Division, killed more than 60 enemies, captured one enemy Gendarmerie, burned more than 10 vehicles loaded with goods and materials, and captured themAutomatic rifleOne, four carbines, one light machine gun, and one radio station disrupted the enemy's offensive deployment.[4]
