Wei Laiguo, male, Han nationality. Born in June, 1925, 1 1, a native of Ganzhan Village, dongshan town, Rongcheng City, once served as the deputy commander of the 27th Army of the Group Army.

Wei Laiguo was born in a poor family in the countryside. There is not an acre of land or a room at home. Father has asthma and can't work hard to support his family. When Wei Laiguo/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, his father had to sell 14-year-old sister to others as a child bride at the price of 180 yuan. In Wei Laiguo's memory, he wore rags as a child and went up the mountain to collect firewood every day. I studied in primary school for a year and a half, but I dropped out of school because I was poor. At school, the teacher changed his real name to Wei Kui and came to China. 12 years old, doing long-term work for any landlord with a wide nose. Eight liters of corn a year. He gets up early every day and works hard. Once, he was told to drive the donkey and pull the soil. The donkey ran ahead and asked him to pick a load of dirt and run behind. He was too tired to stand at a young age. In the evening, he fled home and cried that he would never go to the landlord's house as a long-term worker again. In this way, let him learn from the plasterer. Actually, it's a coolie for the clay master. At this time, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, and his two uncles joined the Eighth Route Army. Wei Laiguo, 14 years old, also joined the local youth anti-Japanese vanguard. Carrying a red cherry gun, he stood guard and sent messages to the troops to inform the villages to guard against the enemy's looting of grain. At that time, because the two uncles in the family were the Eighth Route Army, Wang Yingguo, the squadron leader of the Japanese Puppet Army, kept taking people home, beating grandparents and parents with gun butts, forcing them to hand over their two uncles and threatening to arrest the only eldest grandson, Wei Laiguo. Grandpa was too scared to let Wei Laiguo go home. Grandpa personally took him to dig a hole in the ravine in the east of the village and lived there. 14-year-old children, watching their loved ones being beaten, can only hide in Tibet, and they can't go home, and their hearts can't help but be filled with hatred and anger. Therefore, Wei Laiguo, aged 16, resolutely joined the Shidao Brigade of the Eighth Route Army with class hatred and national hatred. Soon Shidao Brigade became an independent camp in Rongcheng. Wei Laiguo, who is bitter and bitter, joined the * * * Production Party a year later (the supplementary period is one month). In the independent camp, he participated in dozens of battles such as liberating Longxu Island, Lidao and South Station. He seized a 38-gun in the battle of Takasu Island and was immediately transferred by the military division. At that time, each unit only fired ten bullets at most. When he first joined the army, he was only given two bullets. While crossing the river, he accidentally dropped a bullet into the river. He groped in the river for two hours and couldn't find it. It's heartbreaking He thinks bullets are more precious than anything. In the battle of Liu Zichang, two rifles were seized, and Wei Laiguo kept one made in Hubei for himself. In this battle, an enemy is only forty or fifty meters away. Wei Laiguo gave chase and missed two shots. He gnashed his teeth when he saw the enemy escape. Only then did he realize that guns and bullets alone could not destroy the enemy without excellent technology. From then on, he made up his mind to practice shooting skills hard.

Wei Laiguo was promoted to deputy platoon leader on 1944. 1945 after participating in the liberation of Shidao, he was transferred to the East China Sea Teaching Brigade for training for 3 months, and his shooting skills were greatly improved. Then transferred to the garrison 4 brigade 8 regiment 4 company as platoon leader. At this time, the puppet troops surrendered by the Kuomintang pulled donkeys to grab food, killing pigs and chickens in Jimo city, and the people were miserable. The regimental headquarters ordered Wei Laiguo to take a platoon, put on plain clothes and fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy. They laid an ambush everywhere, buried mines, shot from behind and ran after the fight. This elusive raider defeated five enemy companies in just 20 days. For more than 40 days, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and there were not many people left in 12 company. Roughly speaking, Wei Laiguo killed more than 100 enemies by himself. Through this actual combat, Wei Laiguo's shooting skills have been greatly improved.

1June, 946, the 54th Kuomintang Army attacked Jimo in Jiaodong and Nanquan Station along Ji Jiao Road. Company 4 was ordered to guard the position of East Langezhuang. At that time, we were faced with two regiments equipped with American equipment. In the face of the enemy's heavy artillery bombardment, Wei Laiguo arranged a whole platoon's defense, and he guarded a graveyard with 38 guns. He took advantage of the gap between enemy shells and began to shoot calmly. One shot at a time, more than 40 were put down in a blink of an eye. The attack teams of two enemy companies were beaten out of the water, and the morale of the whole platoon was greatly boosted. Wei Laiguo is looking for an enemy general to fight. Pan, a soldier next to him, grabbed a stone. Wei Laiguo knocked down a man and threw a stone at him. In this battle, Wei Laiguo fired 120 bullets in one breath, killing 1 10 enemy. From 5 am to dusk, he repelled the enemy's five attacks. After the blockade of Nanquan, Wei Laiguo won the title of Shandong Shooting Hero, and the whole army launched the Wei Laiguo Shooting Campaign. At this time, someone said: Wei Laiguo was born with a pair of eagle eyes, so he could see clearly and hit accurately. Others say that he can make great achievements as long as he practices his skills hard. Wei Laiguo always shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "There is no natural ability. The battlefield is not a shooting range, and even the best technology can only be played by courage. " . To this end, while grasping the shooting training of the whole company, he paid more attention to continuously improving the class consciousness of soldiers and cultivating the fearless, indomitable, heroic and tenacious fighting style of the company. He wants to train the army into a heroic army that can attack and defend, fight tough battles and overwhelm all enemies. The seeds sown finally blossomed and bore fruit. In just over ten days, two Zhu De shooters (more than 28 rings in three rounds), six special shooters (more than 26 rings in three rounds) and 27 ordinary shooters (more than 20 rings in three rounds) emerged. Since then, Company 4 has created brilliant achievements in future battles.

1in April, 947, the Kuomintang attacked the Shandong liberated area with the focus on the 80 th Brigade. In order to cooperate with the battle to conquer the 72nd Army in Tai 'an, the 8th Regiment was ordered to stick to Baimaguan in the southwest of Mengyang County. On both sides of Baimaguan, high mountains stand, highways pass through the territory, and Montenegro is the barrier. Wei Laiguo Company's mission is to stop the enemy on nine hills, including Montenegro, Marble Mountain and Tiantai Mountain. At that time, the company had just finished the battle of Xintai Laiwu and returned to Jiaodong from the outside line to rest. I was suddenly ordered to get to Mengyin County from Zhaoyuan (seven or eight hundred miles apart) within 10 days. The troops immediately marched overnight at a speed of 130 miles per day, and arrived at their destination one day earlier. Everyone forgot to rest, didn't eat or drink, and immediately climbed up the mountain to dig and move stones to repair fortifications. Unexpectedly, Wei Laiguo Company has quickly occupied Tiantai Mountain. The next morning, a company soldier swaggered up the hill. When the enemy approached 100 meters, he gave the order to "fight". The enemy was defeated and fled, afraid to go up the mountain again, and confronted our army for a whole day. At this time, the unknown enemy sent 1 1 division for reinforcements. The second attack was launched after repeated indiscriminate bombing. Wei Laiguo ordered that only a few observation posts be left in the forward position, and the rest of the soldiers were hidden under the cliffs. When the enemy's artillery fire extended to prepare for the charge, the soldiers quickly went to the front position to shoot. Wei Laiguo blocked a small ditch on a hill with a rifle. Under his gun, the enemy fell one by one. The correspondent did some calculations in the field, and Wei Laiguo killed 58 enemies in one breath. At that time, Company 4 faced the enemy 60 times, so under the fierce and accurate shooting of the whole company, it repelled the enemy's attacks four times in a row. At this time, the superior dispatched 5 companies to change their posts and let 4 companies go down the mountain to rest. Who knows that the fourth company only withdrew for more than two hours, and the fifth company lost all nine hills. The regimental headquarters had to order Company 4 to hurry up the mountain to regain its position. Hearing this, the whole company turned red in the eyes, forgot the fatigue, and vowed to recapture the blood-soaked position. Wei Laiguo immediately led the troops to run forward. After a desperate battle, he finally regained the hills occupied by the enemy one by one. At that time, the ammunition of the fourth company had been exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, but the steel determination to hold the position did not waver at all. They shouted the slogan "The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the white horse can't be lost". When the enemy continued to attack crazily, the soldiers rushed out of the fortifications and fought back the enemy with stones and bayonets. Company 4 persisted for 7 days and 7 nights, and finally repelled 7 attacks by 60 times the enemy, killing more than 500 people. Wei Laiguo was injured on the fourth day when he recaptured the lost hill of the fifth company. The soldiers praised the company commander's rifle as a heavy machine gun. Everyone calculated that the company commander killed another 34 people and twice killed 92 people with 132 bullets, which is another amazing record. In this battle of Baimaguan, the Fourth Company highlighted the ferocity, indomitable tenacity and perseverance that overwhelmed all enemies. For this reason, after the battle, Company 4 was named as Baimaguan Combat Model Company. The whole company won the collective first class merit. Wang Guotian, the deputy company commander, was awarded the title of first-class combat hero, and Jiang Yudian, the first squad leader, was awarded the title of second-class combat hero. After that, the company won the first class merit four times, the second class merit 1 time and the third class merit 1 time in succession in the liberation war, and was awarded the title of "model company with repeated victories".

How to become a sharpshooter? People ask Wei Laiguo. He said that being calm is one of the tricks of a sharpshooter. "If I don't hit the enemy, the enemy will hit me; I want to hit the enemy, not afraid that he will hit me. " "Light will want to also can't kill the enemy. Some people usually shoot very accurately. When they arrived at the battlefield, they didn't kill many enemies, mainly because they were not calm when aiming. "

Wei Laiguo killed 202 enemies with 265 bullets in two battles, and won the glorious title of shooting hero in Shandong. At that time, Xu, commander of Shandong Military Region, was very excited when he heard about this incident. He repeatedly said, "Well done, well done. The whole region should carry out activities to learn from Wei Laiguo. " When the news reached the East China Field Army Command, Chen Yi, the commander, happily said to Su Yu, deputy commander, Tan Zhenlin, deputy political commissar and other leading comrades, "Wei Laiguo's deeds tell us that as long as our soldiers have high consciousness and superb technology, they will certainly defeat the Kuomintang." Soon, Commander Chen Yi went to the Central Committee for a meeting to report to Chairman Mao on the work of the East China Field Army. Speaking of Wei Laiguo's shooting accuracy, he killed 125 bullets and 1 10 enemies in World War I. Chairman Mao praised and said, "It's amazing that one person can destroy the enemy in a row."

1947, Wei Laiguo was injured in the battle of Baimaguan and transferred to the hospital for rest. There is a river in front of the hospital's residence, and there are several rows of trees on the bank. The chickens and ducks of the masses often feed under trees and by rivers. There is a giant eagle flying around here, and chickens and ducks are taken away by it almost every day. When they heard that there was a sharpshooter living in the hospital, they came to ask him to get rid of this harmful bird. The leaders of Weilai National Academy of Economics agreed to patrol the river with guns every day. One day, near noon, the eagle came. When the eagle circled overhead, Wei Laiguo chose the terrain to hide. When the eagle swooped down on the chickens, Wei Laiguo fired a shot, and the eagle flapped its wings and fell headlong. The people rushed to tell each other that it was both joy and praise, and they were very grateful to the sharpshooter for saving their lives.

Wei Laiguo was appointed as the deputy battalion commander of 3rd Battalion, 8th Regiment, 9th Tang Zong after discharge. 1948 In August, Wei Laiguo attended the World Labor Youth Day Congress held in Warsaw with honor. A reporter from Polish Central News Agency specially interviewed Wei Laiguo and reported his heroic deeds. At that time, our party had not yet achieved national political power, and young people from all over the world asked who it was when they saw the portrait of Chairman Mao. Wei Laiguo took this opportunity to introduce Chairman Mao and publicize our Party's achievements in the anti-fascist war and the anti-Kuomintang dictatorship. The delegation returned home via Moscow, and Wei Laiguo went to Stalin University of Workers to communicate with students. The students learned that Wei Laiguo was the only fighting hero in the delegation, and specially gave him a plaster statue of Gorky, saying that Gorky hit the enemy with a pen and you hit the enemy with a gun. You are all the most glorious people.

Back to my hometown Rongcheng, my hometown was full of joy. The county government asked craftsmen to make a plaque for the door fan, engraved with the Chinese character "revolutionary sharpshooter" in hot stamping. Cadres and the masses beat gongs and drums, crowding around, and hung a big plaque at his door.

After returning home, Wei Laiguo took part in the Huaihai Campaign, the Battle of Crossing the River and the Battle of Shanghai and Shanghai. After the liberation of Shanghai, Wei Laiguo was transferred to the Youth Section of the Political Department of the Ninth Corps as Deputy Chief.

1949 In September, Wei Laiguo attended the first Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Conference as a representative of the East China Military Region and was elected to the presidium. After the meeting, Chairman Mao took the members of the presidium to a very humble room, where everyone sat on wooden benches to discuss the plans for the founding of the country. Wei Laiguo is the only and youngest soldier in the presidium. After the meeting, Commander Chen Yi took him to have dinner with the coaches, who took good care of him and always chose good dishes for him to eat, which made him never forget. 1950, Wei Laiguo attended the national conference of fighting heroes and was still elected as a member of the presidium. During the meeting, Wei Laiguo and Zhang Ming presented flags to Chairman Mao on behalf of all the members to show their determination.

Shortly after the meeting, Wei Laiguo went to the front battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. 1952, Wei Laiguo was selected to study in Beijing Changxindian Tank School. After graduation, he was assigned to the 263rd regiment of the 58th division of the 20th Army as the deputy head, and then went to Nanjing 17 Accelerated Middle School to study culture for two years. 1958 transferred to the Chief of Staff of the 264th Regiment of Armored Forces Academy. 1960 studied for two and a half years in the seventh period of acceleration department of armored force academy. 1962, in the clamor of Chiang Kai-shek's counterattack on the mainland, Wei Laiguo volunteered to return to the 27th Army of the old army on the coastal front and served as the head of the 236th regiment in the 79th Division. On the Korean battlefield, Wei Laiguo often saw defeated enemies, who escaped one by one because of the cover of tanks. Although we captured the tank, it was bombed by the enemy air force because no one could drive it. He deeply realized that the era of millet plus rifle has passed. So he studies very hard in tank school and armored academy, and he will try to keep up with the times as soon as possible. After joining the 27th Army, he insisted on applying what he had learned to training and exercises in his work practice. He not only changed from a sharpshooter to a tank expert, but also worked hard to learn the knowledge of artillery, engineers, chemical defense, aviation and other arms, and constantly improved his command ability in the synthetic army. At that time, Lin Biao and the Gang of Four were criticizing the "weapons-only theory" to resist and slander the development of new weapons and equipment. Against the wind, Wei Laiguo, with his own personal experience, insisted on promoting the truth that "weapons are also an important factor" and "being both red and expert, courage and technology must be combined" on various occasions.

Hard work pays off. During an inspection anti-airborne combat exercise, a motorized infantry division division commander was hospitalized due to illness, and Wei Laiguo, the deputy division commander, was temporarily appointed as the division commander in the army. Because I usually pay attention to learning, I showed my command ability in the exercise. At the beginning of the exercise, he personally went to the command post to give oral combat orders. Without the guidance of the staff, he spoke clearly and orderly while looking at the map. He made it clear how the various arms and services and reinforcements assigned to him cooperated with the infantry and how to make a fist to attack the enemy. After the "battle" started, due to the change of the situation, the army chief was determined to change their division from the second echelon to the first echelon. After receiving the order, Wei Laiguo had answers, because when he received the task of the second echelon, he quickly made various plans. Now he immediately deployed carefully according to the plan and led the troops to complete the task successfully.

Wei Laiguo attaches great importance to educating a new generation of soldiers with scientific spirit. Young soldiers who are thirsty for knowledge always want to ask Wei Laiguo, the sharpshooter, to give them a few shots. How to satisfy young people's thirst for knowledge? One morning, when the storm was raging, the clouds were low, and the guns and smoke of a shooting range were rolling, Wei Laiguo came. Soldiers who have worked hard for a few days still can't fight well, and their confidence is gone. The platoon leader asked Wei Laiguo to fight, but Wei Laiguo gave a hand and didn't promise. Just then, Xi Kochi, a "small tech fan", walked by. Wei Laiguo invited Xiao Xi to come over for a few rounds, and the result was an instant hit. He asked Xiao Xi to introduce his experience, and then said to everyone, "A sharpshooter is also a human being, not a god. The guns we used have entered the history museum. Now I use your gun and wear reading glasses, which may not work well. As long as everyone talks about scientific methods like Xiao Xi and lays a good foundation, we will certainly lay a good foundation. "

1March, 968, Wei Laiguo served as deputy chief of staff and deputy division commander of the 79th Division. 1July 1978, Wei Laiguo served as deputy chief of staff of the 27th Army Command, and1August 1982 served as deputy commander. 1March, 985, retired from the post of deputy commander.

Wei Laiguo was awarded the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and was awarded the Medal of Independence and Freedom, the Third Class Liberation Medal and the Medal of Honor for Independent Meritorious Service.

Qi Jinhu

Qi Jinhu (1926- 1950) is a reconnaissance hero. Shandong Rong adult.

1945 Join the Eighth Route Army. The following year, he joined the China * * * production party. He used to be the platoon leader of reconnaissance platoon of East China Field Army.

He won the first class merit twice and was elected as a model five times. On the eve of the Battle of Meng Lianggu in 1947, he led three men.

The scouts sneaked into the government defense zone of the National School, captured members of an enemy brigade and captured the enemy's 74th Division.

Documents such as deployment and battle plan. In the Battle of Jinan 1948, he led a reconnaissance class to sneak into enemy positions nine times.

Captured six people, including enemy agents and documents, and obtained important information. The whole class won the first class merit and was awarded the title of "Joining Tiger Class".

1On the eve of the battle of crossing the river in mid-March, 993, he led five scouts to heishazhou in the Yangtze River west of Wuhu occupied by Kuomintang government forces. Under the cover and assistance of the local people, they persisted in 3 1 day, found out the enemy situation and terrain, and created favorable conditions for the troops to cross the river. Later, he was awarded the title of first-class people's hero in East China by the East China Military Region. Heisha Prefecture is located in the center of the Yangtze River between Wuhu and Digang. The enemy deployed a large number of troops on it and built strong fortifications. After Qi Jinhu and his comrades entered Heisha County, they fought bravely with the enemy. After nearly a month of reconnaissance and exploration, they found out the enemy's combat readiness, fortifications and firepower distribution one by one. When preparing to cross the river back, the enemy blocked the river so tightly that it was difficult for large and small ships to find a complete board. After dark, Qi Jinhu and his comrades sneaked into the village. I finally found a big oval wooden basin in the cowshed. They were very surprised. Everyone carried the wooden basin to the river and practiced in turn all night on the boat over and over again. We don't know how many times we turned in the water and how many mouthfuls of river water we drank. When our comrades finally mastered the "wooden basin", we were exhausted. However, the bigger difficulty is coming again. "The Yangtze River has no wind and three feet of waves." When Qi Jinhu and his comrades set out to row the wooden basin to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the huge wind and waves made the whole wooden basin swing violently and almost capsized. The cold river made everyone wet. Moreover, the comrades who grew up in the mountains did not adapt to such violent bumps, and everyone was sick and vomiting. The situation is very critical. At dawn, everyone finally went ashore. With the important information brought back by the Qi Jinhu reconnaissance team, our army violently shelled Heisha County, accurately destroying all the important enemy military bunkers and clearing the way for large troops to cross the river.
