The gunner, the goddess of Vietnam War, hit a target 300 meters away with a barrel without a sight and a gun rack.

In ancient times, people regarded war as a matter of iron-blooded men, and women should go away. In modern times, many women not only go to the battlefield to serve the war, but also make guns themselves. Duan is one of them.

Comrade Duan is an employee of the county rubber factory and the vice squad leader of Class 9 of the 82nd Artillery Company of the county militia. He was only 2 1 year old when he joined the war. In the 1979 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, she was full of hatred for the enemy and worked closely with all the comrades in the class to capture the target accurately and quickly, correct the artillery position and violently shell the enemy. When her ears were bleeding from gunfire, she was brave and tenacious, persisted in fighting and fired more than 260 shells. Together with the comrades of the whole company, she destroyed an enemy police station and a number of bunkers and bunkers in two highlands. Clear the way for the troops to attack. The superior party Committee gave her a first-class merit.1In May, 979, the Kunming Military Region awarded her the honorary title of "female militia gunner".

Duan was born in September 1958 and graduated from junior high school. Joined the party in June 1979. Her hometown is separated from Vietnam by a river. When she was still in primary school, she often saw cars loaded with all kinds of materials driving across the road next to the school and heading for Vietnam. The teacher told them that these are all military, production and living materials preserved by the people of China in order to vigorously support the Vietnamese people's struggle to resist the United States and save the country. The teacher also said that for the struggle of the Vietnamese people. Our country not only brought in a lot of materials, but also many Chinese sons and daughters gave their blood and lives. At that time, although Duan was still a primary school student who was not fully sensible, he was often happy for the Sino-Vietnamese friendship and the harmonious coexistence and friendly exchanges between the border people of the two countries. However, since the national liberation of Viet Nam, the Du?n Group has embraced the hegemonism of the Soviet Union, and regarded the people of China who have sincerely supported them for many years and paid a huge price for it as enemies. Use the border area as an outpost to attack China.

Jinping county has a 388-kilometer border with Vietnam. The border people of Yao, Miao, Hani and Dai who live on both sides of the border have long intermarried and traded, and many border people are related by blood.

During the Vietnam National Liberation War, people of all ethnic groups in Jinping County directly helped them. During the anti-French struggle in Vietnam, there were no roads on both sides of the national border, and the people of Jinping drove caravans to transport rice from the mainland of the motherland. Salt and other materials have been sent to Laizhou in northwest Vietnam. During the Vietnam War against the United States, the material consumption was huge, and China was asked for more and more things, from weapons and ammunition to food, salt, cloth, hoes and machetes, all of which were supplied by China. At this time, it was no longer possible to transport goods by caravan, so migrant workers were organized to build roads. At that time, China was still very poor, but in order to fulfill its internationalist obligations, it had to do so in difficult times. However, the treachery of the Vietnamese authorities really makes people very angry. Tenghe River is the boundary river between China and China. In order to embezzle Vietnamese territory, they built a stone dam with a height of two meters and a length of more than 100 meters on the side of the boundary river, forcing the boundary river to change its course and washing away the land in China. Vietnamese public security personnel also invaded China, forcibly seized two Dai children who were fishing in the river, and beat and cursed them, forcing these children to admit that they had illegally invaded Vietnamese territory. The Sino-Vietnamese Friendship Bridge on the Rattan River was once the symbol and link of the friendship between the Chinese and Vietnamese peoples, and many materials from China were transported to Vietnam from this bridge; When the US plane bombed the Vietnamese stockade at Qiaotou, the border residents in China risked their lives and carried the injured Vietnamese from the bridge back to China for treatment.

1978 in the second half of the year, they openly blocked the port, built various fortifications on the hillside at the bridgehead, set up roadblocks at one end of the bridgehead and laid mines. Vietnamese sentries often provoke us at the bridgehead. In order to maintain Sino-Vietnamese friendship, China put up with it again. Just as the Vietnamese authorities constantly provoked border troubles and allowed Vietnamese border residents to drive to our country to buy necessities, Vietnamese public security personnel mixed in with the border residents, bought wax from China trading company, went back to mine in our country, and killed and injured our border guards and soldiers. This shameless hooliganism was deeply imprinted in Duan's heart and ignited the flame of revenge. At the beginning of 1979, at Duan's repeated request, the leader approved her to join the 82nd artillery company of the county militia as the vice squad leader of Class 9. According to the artillery establishment, the vice squad leader is the aiming hand. Duan knows that the aiming hand is the "eye" of the gun. In the battle, whether the shell can accurately destroy the enemy target is directly related to the aiming hand. With hatred of Vietnamese hegemonism, she devoted herself to training, listened to the teacher's lectures and watched the teacher's demonstrations carefully. After coming down, she practiced repeatedly and devoted herself to her skills, forgetting hunger and fatigue. In the live-fire shooting, the comrades in the class United as one and cooperated closely, and achieved excellent results in three shots and two strikes.

Through intensive training, they initially mastered the basic shooting skills of Bayi artillery and were able to fight in company. But Duan believes that the situation of war is ever-changing. What if you need a single gun? In order to win the war, she is determined to study more and master the ability to operate firearms alone. Ruler and direction in the case of group gun battle, you can fire as long as you listen to the commander's password. If you fight alone, you must memorize 68 data of ruler and direction from 100 meters to 3400 meters. The correction from 1 m to 100 m is 200 data and * * 268 data. Duan, a female worker in a rubber nursery, suddenly changed the rubber seedlings with a ruler, direction and shooting. At the New Year's Eve dinner, she made up her mind never to finish the task she had set for herself. By the time she ate, the food was cold, but she ate it very sweetly. After several days of hard training, she finally memorized 268 data. Mastered the ability to fight alone.

Soon after the training, the self-defense counterattack will start. The superior ordered the 82nd Artillery Company of the militia to take part in the battle under the border guards. When the news came, the militiamen were particularly excited. On the farm, from 14-year-old boys to 50-year-old militia, they all actively demanded to participate in the war. Duan also went to the leader to fight. But the leader at the scene said, "This time, female militia will not be allowed to participate." This can make a little anxiety. On the one hand, she insisted on going to the leader again, on the other hand, she went to several comrades in the League branch to find a way to ask. They also wrote an invitation letter to go abroad with several young women, expressing the determination of the female militia: "I am full of anger and insist on going to the battlefield; Strike hard at the invaders, kill the enemy, and protect the frontier! " After the challenge, they also made two guarantees: first, resolutely obey orders and obey orders; Second, we must resolutely fight to the final victory. At their repeated demands, the leaders agreed that their eight women militiamen would take part in the war.

Duan was so happy that even his parents didn't have time to tell her, so he went to the farm with his comrades. At night, none of them wanted to sleep, so they pretended to be soldiers. As soon as I turned around, my braid fell to my chest. She held the braid in her hand and said thoughtfully, how many ways were blocked by this long braid when we started fighting! So, she fainted with the aiming hand of Class 8 and cut off her braid. The other three sisters also learned to cut off their beloved long braids. With an angry sharp arrow, he ordered the enemy to be destroyed, and the day of Duan's hope finally came. 1979, 17 In the early morning of February, with the rumble of guns in self-defense counterattack, border guards went straight into Nangong Gongan Tun like a steel knife, quickly destroying the defensive enemy. However, just as the soldiers were about to attack a highland, they were violently stopped by the enemy's heavy and light machine gun fire.

This highland is located on the south bank of Tenghe River and controls the highway leading to Laizhou. Without conquering it, it will be difficult for our army to advance. The superior ordered the 82nd Artillery Company to quickly destroy the enemy's firepower and cover the infantry's impact. Duan and his comrades immediately captured the target and adjusted the shooting elements. Nine guns fired at once, quickly destroying the enemy's light and heavy machine gun positions. Suddenly, an enemy 60 gun came out and bombarded our infantry. The superior ordered the battery to destroy the enemy's small guns quickly. But the enemy is very cunning, relying on the herringbone fortifications that have already been built, hiding left and right. When I hit the left, it slipped to the right. When I hit the right, it slipped to the left. Duan and his comrades were very angry and determined to destroy it. With the help of the company's observation station, Duan and his comrades divided the enemy's herringbone fortifications into three sections: left, middle and right. Nine cannons are divided into three groups, each group is responsible for a workshop. As the commander gave the order, they opened fire together, and the enemy flew into the sky with men and guns.

Although the 82 gun is not big, it makes a lot of noise when it is launched. When shelling the enemy's zigzag fortifications, Duan began to feel his ears buzzing, and then he couldn't hear anything. But she stared at the sight, skillfully manipulated the steering wheel with both hands, and constantly corrected the shooting deviation to ensure that the projectile hit the target accurately. At this time, Tang, the county armed minister in command at the position, found that her ears were bleeding and her collar was dyed red. She quickly shouted: "Xiao Duan, your ears are bleeding, come down quickly!" However, Duan heard nothing. The comrade-in-arms next to her quickly pulled her and shouted a few words, pointing to her collar, before Duan felt the terrible pain in her ears. She said loudly to the monitor, "It's a battle now. I can't go down at this time. Leave me alone! " After that, he jumped on the gun and aimed.

With the progress of the battle, the battle of our border guards attacking one or two highlands has entered the most intense stage. When the troops launched a final attack on the defensive forces entrenched in these two highlands and quickly occupied these two highlands, suddenly, a powerful firepower point of the enemy appeared. A dense barrage consisting of two light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, two 82 guns, two 60 guns and a rocket launcher suppressed our assault troops on the hillside. All the militiamen of the 82nd Artillery Company, with deep hatred for the Vietnamese army, requested the headquarters to pull out this nail.

The higher command approved their request. According to the order of Lian Li, the single gun test was first carried out with Duan's type 9 as the benchmark gun. Duan understood the intention of his superiors with the gesture given to her by the monitor and a few words she vaguely heard, aimed at the target accurately and quickly, and completed the test firing task. Then, the other eight guns of the whole company quickly calibrated the guns according to the test firing effect of the benchmark guns, and kept an eye on the enemy bunkers.

"fight!" With the commander's order, nine artillery pieces fired violently and the shells roared to the enemy line. After a burst of shelling, Duan and his comrades deliberately stopped shooting to confuse the enemy and lure him out of the hole. When the cunning enemy walked out of the bunker with trepidation, nine artillery pieces fired quickly again, sending hundreds of shells to the enemy's head accurately. Duan's nine classes played accurately and ruthlessly, firing more than 260 shells. Under the cover of the 82nd Artillery Company, our frontier troops fought bravely to annihilate the enemy on the defensive and successfully captured these two highlands.

On the day of celebrating the victory of the self-defense counterattack, the central condolence group came to Yunnan. Fang Yi, Vice Premier of the State Council, met Duan twice and encouraged her to make persistent efforts and create more brilliant achievements. Duan said firmly: We must live up to the expectations of the Party and the people, and become the steel women militia in southern Xinjiang.

From June 65438 to June 0979, Duan participated in the model report mission of British self-defense counterattack operations organized by the whole army, and made reports in Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Anhui and other troops and militia, which was well received. After returning to the unit in September, she was modest and prudent, and earnestly did her job and militia work. She works as a germinator in the rubber field. The survival rate of each assessment was very high, and he was soon promoted to the position of vice president of technology. She served as the deputy instructor of the 82nd Artillery Company of the militia, not only doing ideological and political work for the militia, but also organizing militia training. In order to lead the militia on duty and guard the rubber yard and post office, she didn't go home for the New Year in three of the four years from 1980 to 1983.

1June, 983, the superior appointed Duan as the full-time military attache of the Armed Forces Department of Chengguan District of the county. Duan studied artillery since he became a militia, but he didn't know much about infantry weapons, such as submachine guns and squad machine guns. She knows that it is not enough for a cadre who specializes in military affairs to know only artillery. So, I studied hard and studied infantry weapons. In order to learn how to disassemble and assemble, she disassembled, assembled and disassembled until she learned. Shortly after taking office, she participated in the military cadre training organized by the military sub-division. Seeing Duan's arrival, some cadres who specialize in martial arts suggested that Duan's "militia female gunner" make a simple shooting performance for everyone to see. The leader of the training team was embarrassed after hearing this. They know that there are not many simple shooting exercises in a short time. The sight is the eye of the gun, and the gun plate and gun rack ensure the stability when shooting. Simple shooting, on the other hand, does not need a sight, a gun plate and a gun rack, but only uses a barrel. This kind of shooting is entirely based on experience. The leader asked Duan's opinion: "Xiao Duan, forget it if you are not sure, they want to see your jokes!" " Duan said confidently, "Never mind, I'm sure!"

On the day of the performance, the field was full of military cadres. At a distance of 300 meters, there is a white circle with a diameter of 30 meters, which is the target. At the command of the commander, Duan walked unhurriedly to the shooting position, slung the barrel over his arm, looking for the target, visually measuring the distance, and giving the barrel an angle with his hand. "boom! Hey! " Three shots and three hits. There was a burst of applause on the field. Those who want to see jokes have to praise: "admire! Admire! What a gunner! "

1983 12. Jinping county Committee decided to remove Duan county's secretary of the youth league Committee and add him to the standing Committee of the county Committee. Duan feels that the burden on his shoulders is heavier, and the original junior high school culture can no longer meet the needs of work. So, while working, she taught herself, discussed with her husband Sun Jisheng, who works in the county forestry bureau, and launched a learning competition. She can't get a high school diploma, and she doesn't want children under 30. Sun Xiao actively supported and reached this "husband and wife agreement". In order to study high school mathematics and writing, Duan often uses Sundays and evenings to go to middle school teachers He and Guo for extra lessons. 1September, 1985, Duan was admitted to the special class of the Department of Economics and Management of Yunnan University for Nationalities, and his wife was also admitted to the fruit and tea specialty of Honghe Prefecture Secondary Agricultural School. During his two years of cold window life, Duan studied hard, overcame the difficulty of hearing loss after ear injury in battle, and wrote letters to people who were 500 miles away to help and encourage each other. When Duan graduated from 1987 in July, 16 course, except statistical principles, all other 15 courses achieved excellent results. Her graduation thesis "Several Problems of Developing Jinping County Economy" was well received by teachers.
