Information reflecting that Chinese sons and daughters serve the motherland and win glory for the country.
After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, Huang Jiguang resolutely participated in Chinese people's Volunteer Army in March 1951. When he was leaving his hometown, his mother happily brought a big red flower to his chest and said to him, "When you arrive in North Korea, you should kill more enemies and repay the motherland and people." With his mother's entrustment and people's expectation, Huang Jiguang came to the front line of Korea and was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division of the 15th Army of the Volunteers as a correspondent. Although he is a correspondent, he always wants to learn more skills and exercise himself hard. He works actively, studies hard and makes rapid progress. On July 25th, 1952, he gloriously joined the China New Democratic Youth League.
on October 14th, 1952, the U.S. aggressor troops began to launch crazy attacks on the 597.9 and 537.7 Beishan highlands in Shangganling. Shangganling is located on Wusheng Mountain in central Korea. It is the gate of the central line of the Volunteers and a steel knife that plunged into the enemy's heart. In particular, the two highlands in Beishan, Shangganling area, like a wedge into the front of the enemy's position, posing a great threat to the enemy. In this small highland of Shangganling, which is less than 4 square kilometers, the enemy used two multi-division troops, and with the cooperation of a large number of planes, tanks and artillery, they made crazy attacks on the highlands of 537.7 and 597.9 continuously. Guns rumbled and smoke filled the moonlight night, and the volunteers launched a fierce battle with the enemy. After the fighting started, Huang Jiguang was responsible for delivering letters, delivering orders, answering telephone lines and carrying the wounded under fire. Spent four days and four nights in a row under the blockade of enemy artillery.
on the evening of October 19th. Huang Jiguang's battalion was ordered to counterattack the 597.9 highland on the right wing of Shangganling. The 6th company was ordered to take the 6th position in advance, and then the 5th and 4th positions. It must take the th position before dawn to lay the foundation for the victory of the whole counterattack. After the fighting started, the progress was smoother than expected. At this time, it was suddenly discovered that there was an enemy group weapon emplacement on the top of the mountain, which made the volunteer army suppressed and unable to move forward. The battalion chief of staff immediately ordered the 6 th company to blow it up and organize the blasting group at the same time. From 7: 3 p.m. to 1: 3 p.m., Company 6 has launched five charges against the enemy, but it still hasn't destroyed the enemy's shelters. Many soldiers died heroically. At this time, it is only more than 4 minutes before dawn. If we don't win the No. position, we will not complete the combat mission as planned, and the victory of the whole counterattack will be affected. At this critical moment, Huang Jiguang, standing beside the chief of staff, stood up and firmly demanded: "Give me the task, as long as I have a breath, I promise to complete it." The Chief of Staff said with great confidence, "Huang Jiguang, I will leave this task to you. Now I order you to be the acting monitor of Class 6 of Company 6. Be sure to complete the task! " After accepting the task, he immediately put on a Grenade and led two comrades to climb to the enemy's shelters. They skillfully advanced by the light of the flare. At first, the enemy didn't find them. When they were only more than 3 meters away from the enemy's fire point, two comrades fell down one after another. Huang Jiguang was shot twice in his left arm and left shoulder, bleeding profusely, but he kept moving towards the enemy's central ammunition point. When only eight or nine meters were left, he stood up and raised his right hand to throw grenades at the enemy. However, due to the large shelters, only half of them were blown up. The two machine guns that were not blown up stood out from the remaining shooting holes and roared savagely, and the charge of the volunteers was stopped. Huang Jiguang was injured again and fell down. At this time, the day is about to dawn, and the 4-minute deadline is coming. Huang Jiguang jumped up and shouted at the muzzle of the flaming mouth and the stubborn fortress of the aggressor. He stood up, opened his arms and jumped up ... The flaming mouth was suddenly extinguished, and the machine gun that was screaming was dumb. Huang Jiguang used his young life to open the way for the volunteers to advance triumphantly.
The comrades who stopped the attack rushed out like arrows, shouting "Go! Revenge for Huang Jiguang "! They followed Huang Jiguang's crawling road and quickly occupied position . Two enemy battalions-more than 1,2 people-were all annihilated.
In recognition of Huang Jiguang's great spirit and immortal feats, Peng Dehuai, commander of the Volunteers, issued an order to remember Huang Jiguang's special merit once and awarded him the title of "special hero". The 15th Army Committee of China * * * Producer Volunteers ratified him as a "model member" and Huang Jiguang as party member of China * * * Producer. The Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea posthumously awarded Huang Jiguang the title of "National Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea", and at the same time posthumously awarded him the Gold Star Medal and the First Class National Flag Medal.

The film Shangganling is a household name in China, and the spirit of Shangganling has infected and inspired generations of new China. In that cruel battle, volunteers emerged many heroes, and Huang Jiguang was one of the two super heroes. At the critical moment of the battle, he pounced on the enemy bunker, blocked the perforation of the machine gun with his flesh and blood, and played an earth-shattering hymn of revolutionary heroism.
Life
■ Huang Jiguang was the first volunteer in Zhongjiang County to sign up, but he was not selected because of his short stature.
■ When attack force was blocked and suffered heavy casualties, Huang Jiguang, who had been a battalion correspondent, volunteered to fight.
■ running out of ammunition, he resolutely blocked the enemy's gun holes with his chest. Huang Jiguang, a super hero who won the highest honor to resist US aggression and aid Korea, was born in a mountain village in Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province in 193. His family was extremely poor since childhood. When he was six or seven years old, his father died because of being oppressed by the landlord. Huang Jiguang carried long-term jobs for landlords, mowed grass and herded cattle since he was a child. In the winter of 1949, when his hometown was liberated, a peasant association was organized in the village. Huang Jiguang not only became the first member of the peasant association and actively fought against the landlords, but also became a militia in the village.
after the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea began, demobilization stopped in China and a large number of soldiers were recruited. In March 1951, when Zhongjiang County recruited volunteers, Huang Jiguang was the first to sign up in the village. During the physical examination, he was not selected because of his short stature. The battalion commander who came to recruit was moved by Huang Jiguang's enthusiasm for joining the army and agreed to make an exception.
after arriving at the front line of Korea, Huang Jiguang was assigned to be the correspondent of the second battalion of the 135th regiment of the 15th Army for six consecutive terms. In April 1952, the troops went to the frontier position of Wusheng Mountain to take over the defense, but Huang Jiguang, who wanted to make meritorious deeds, was assigned to the logistics of the company. After careful ideological work by the assistant instructor, Huang Jiguang understood the importance of logistics work and did everything well. With the approval of his superiors, he won the third class merit once and joined the * * * Youth League.
On October 14th, 1952, the Battle of Shangganling began. On the night of October 19th, Huang Jiguang's 2nd Battalion was ordered to counterattack the enemy who occupied the surface position of 597.9 highland. When attack force was blocked and suffered heavy casualties, Huang Jiguang, who had been a battalion correspondent, stepped forward and volunteered to destroy the enemy's shelters. When his comrades were wounded and sacrificed, and his ammunition was used up, Huang Jiguang resolutely blocked the enemy's loophole with his own body, which opened the way for the victory of the stormtroopers. He was only 22 years old when he died.
Huang Jiguang's heroic feat won the highest honor in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea-he was posthumously awarded the title of "Super Hero" by the leading organs of the Volunteers (another super hero was Yang Gensi); The party Committee of the army ratified him as the official party member of China * * * Production Party; The North Korean government awarded him the title of "National Hero of the Democratic People of Korea".

Background
■ The firepower density of Shangganling campaign is unprecedented in the history of war; Of the 12 volunteers who won the title of "Korean hero", Shangganling accounted for 4-Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, Hu Xiudao, Sun Zhanyuan
■ Some western military strategists believe that only by figuring out why the defense line of Shangganling was impenetrable can we truly understand the unprecedented tragic battle of the China army in Shangganling, which created the highest fire density record in the history of world war at that time.
In a position of only 4 square kilometers, the "United Nations Army" has successively invested 6, troops, dumped 1.9 million artillery shells and 5, aerial bombs, with a maximum of 3, rounds a day. Volunteers have also invested more than 4, troops and fired 4, shells. There is no vegetation on the position, and the hill made of rocks is smashed into a powder pile more than half a meter deep.
In such an unimaginable sea of fire and bullets, the volunteers were able to repel the US-led invaders with the most powerful firepower in the world, mainly because there were countless heroes like Huang Jiguang.
In the Battle of Shangganling, many heroes emerged in the Volunteers. Among the 12 people who won the title of "National Hero of the Democratic People of Korea" in the war, four people participated in the Battle of Shangganling, namely Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, Hu Xiudao and Sun Zhanyuan; In addition, there are thousands of heroes and heroes. In this atmosphere, the spirit of revolutionary heroism always inspires and infects the comrades who participated in the war, creating a heroic feat that is earth-shattering and makes the gods cry.
Although Huang Jiguang joined the army for just over a year, he quickly learned the fine tradition of the People's Army and the brave and tenacious fighting style under the education of the Party organization and the example of veterans, and grew into an excellent soldier in a short time. At the critical moment, he can give his life to block the loophole, which is the result of the training of the people's army and the education of the party. Some western military strategists believe that only by figuring out why the Shangganling defense line is impenetrable can we truly understand China's army. For more than 5 years, the word "Shangganling" has become synonymous with the bravery and tenacity of our army, and the spirit of Shangganling is always worth carrying forward!
Story
■ Because of Huang Jiguang's excellent work and clever people, the battalion commander named him as a correspondent in the battalion headquarters.
■ Before Huang Jiguang pounced on the enemy bunker, his leg was broken, he was seriously injured in seven places, and there was a blood print more than ten meters long behind him. His amazing perseverance was amazing.
When he was a militia in his hometown, Huang Jiguang had bravely captured an escaped landlord and caused a sensation in the village. From the first day he joined the army, he asked for meritorious service by killing the enemy. In addition to doing a good job as a correspondent, he often went to the class to learn the use of weapons such as grenades, grenades and automatic rifles from the soldiers, and was praised by the company commander many times. Because of his excellent work and cleverness, the battalion commander named Huang Jiguang as a correspondent in the battalion headquarters.
On the night of October 19th, 1952, when bullets and rain were flying, Huang Jiguang followed the battalion chief of staff to command the Sixth Company to fight back in Shangganling. At that time, the battalion chief of staff, the company commander and the instructor were extremely anxious. If the enemy lines could not be captured before dawn, the overnight gains would be wasted. At the critical moment, Huang Jiguang stepped forward and well-documented with two correspondents in thy company. Soon, two comrades-in-arms were shot down one after another, and Huang Jiguang was also injured. When he climbed more than ten meters away from the enemy's central fire point, he threw the last Grenade hard, only half of the bunker collapsed, and the enemy's machine gun was still spewing flames. Huang Jiguang at the moment has no weapons, still climb to the top of the forward. Comrades lying behind, with the light of flares, suddenly saw a magnificent scene: Huang Jiguang stood up shaking, opened his arms, and rushed at the enemy machine gun ...
When comrades rushed to the "Zero" position, they found that Huang Jiguang's stocky body was still pressed against the enemy's shooting hole, his hands were still firmly holding the sacks around him, and his broad chest was still tightly blocking the enemy's muzzle ... As you can imagine, at the last moment, Huang Jiguang climbed to the front of the enemy bunker with strong perseverance and dragged his badly injured body, and jumped up again.
■ Unfortunately, because Huang Jiguang was poor and had no money to take photos, he didn't leave a photo, and the photos he took after his sacrifice were extremely tragic, and his facial image was difficult to distinguish
■ Now the only tangible monument left by Shangganling Campaign is the Huang Jiguang Martyrs Monument, which was built according to the instructions of Kim Il Sung.
Unfortunately, because Huang Jiguang was poor since he was a child, he never took a photo. Although someone took pictures of the body after the sacrifice, the image was very tragic and the face was difficult to distinguish. When promoting heroic deeds, because we couldn't find a usable photo, we had to use a sketch to block the loophole. Later, the teachers of Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts drew a positive standard image of Huang Jiguang according to the memory of Wan Fulai, the company commander of Huang Jiguang. On the 1th anniversary of the victory of Shangganling Campaign, sculpture experts cast three bronze statues based on this portrait, which were collected in the army, Huang Jiguang Memorial Hall in Zhongjiang County and the company club where he lived.
In April p>1953, Huang Jiguang's mother, Deng Fangzhi, attended the National Women's Congress as a representative. Mao Zedong also invited Deng Fangzhi to visit his home in Zhongnanhai, expressing his respect for the hero.
After the battle, Chinese and Korean soldiers carved Huang Jiguang's name on a tall stone wall behind the main peak of Wusheng Mountain. Today, the only tangible monument left in the battle of Shangganling is the Huang Jiguang Martyrs Monument, which was built according to the instructions of Kim Il Sung. Next to this marble monument, there is a loophole in the bunker blocked by the martyr's chest, surrounded by beautiful Jindalai.
