In the battle of the two mountains, the appearance of a PLA sniper made the Vietnamese troops on the Lao Son position frightened, and they said in fear in the telegram: The other side's bullets passed through the chest or head of the dead soldiers, and in half a month, 31 people were killed in this way!
The appearance of this PLA sniper frightened the Vietnamese monkeys on Lao Shan who hid in the trenches and shivered, and they wanted to wear two more steel helmets when they went out on patrol.
And this sniper is Xiang Xiaoping, who is known as the "No. 1 Killer of Lao Shan", it was he who killed 30 Vietnamese enemies with only 31 bullets, how did he do it?
Battle of the two mountains
From 1984 to 1989, on the Sino-Vietnamese border, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and Vietnamese forces fought for five years around the Laoshan and Zheyin Mountains in Yunnan.
Vietnam did not send many troops, and it was relatively fixed, but our army was different, and ten group armies were sent to the front line one after another, so it was called "wheel warfare".
As for why this war was fought, it all had to be blamed on the white-eyed wolf in the south of the mainland that could not be raised by billions - Vietnam.
The Vietnamese have a great appetite, especially after winning the Vietnam War, and with the support of the Soviet Union, they can be said to have attacked everywhere, attacking Cambodia in the west, occupying Nanhai Zhudao in the east, and wanting to expand their territory in China in the north, which can be described as extremely shameless.
At the end of the eighties, our army launched a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and taught this group of ungrateful Vietnamese monkeys a hard lesson.
However, this did not wake them up. The Vietnamese monkeys, who had been chased to the capital by the People's Liberation Army, cleaned themselves up and began to make trouble on the Sino-Vietnamese border again.
On the old mountain, the Vietnamese built countless hidden forts and positions, and there were monkeys' nests on each nameless plateau.
In 1987, the 27th Group Army of the Beijing Military Region, where Xiang Xiaoping was located, was transferred to Laoshan and began a one-year pull-out operation.
The first battle was tense
Xiang Xiaoping's unit has a glorious "history of sniping", and his regiment commander was Wei Laiguo, who was famous during the Liberation War, and killed 202 reactionary enemies with 265 bullets on the battlefield in Shandong.
Xiang Xiaoping inherited the glorious tradition of his unit and grew into a sharpshooter with all shots, but when he first went to the battlefield, Xiang Xiaoping was a little nervous, because when he went to the battlefield, he was not a dead wooden target, but a living person.
One fine afternoon, Xiang Xiaoping set off with his Type 79 sniper rifle, and the observer Zeng Huaizhi carefully searched for the target with a telescope, not letting go of a trace of wind and grass.
Nowadays we call the Vietnamese "Vietnamese monkeys", which is very particular, and the Vietnamese people at that time were extremely thin and dark, much like monkeys.
Moreover, the Vietnamese are very good at living in dense forests, and they also like to engage in traps, and the Americans suffered a lot during the Vietnam War, so it is not unreasonable to call them "monkeys".
The same is true on Lao Shan Mountain, where the Vietnamese have laid out many bunkers and minefields, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the trap of the Vietnamese, and the "cold gun" of the sniper may sound at any time.
In this first battle, Xiang Xiaoping and Zeng Huaizhi were both nervous, they had to find the enemy before the other party found themselves, otherwise they would fall into passivity.
"There are enemies! There's a Vietnamese soldier over there! ”
Xiang Xiaoping reacted quickly, the barrel of the gun moved, and the knob on the scope was twisted, aiming directly at the head of the Vietnamese monkey.
His breathing became slower, and he pressed his heart not to beat violently, and with a movement of his fingers, the bullet was fired instantly.
After firing a shot, he immediately retreated, lest the enemy find out and fight back, and the observer took out the binoculars and said excitedly: "Hit!" Hit! ”
Xiang Xiaoping was relieved, this first move, he annihilated an enemy, which was a good start.
The two quickly retreated, ran back to the cat's ear hole to prepare for the next attack, and Xiang Xiaoping began to savor the feeling, and the tense nerves slowly slowed down.
In the following battle, Xiang Xiaoping regained a familiar feeling, shooting the Vietnamese is like shooting a target on the training ground, and those Vietnamese are no different from the targets on the training ground, they are all "the master who should be hit".
One, two, three...... Gradually, more and more bullets were fired at Xiaoping, and more and more Vietnamese monkeys fell, and the Laoshan killer was "online"!
One shot does not squeak
Soon after Xiang Xiaoping arrived at Lao Son, he set up 7 observation points and 11 shooting points, and he wandered around these points, bringing endless fear to the Vietnamese.
During a field lurk, Xiang Xiaoping was drenched in the rain for four days, which caused him to have a high fever, but he still refused to retreat from the line of fire, and insisted on holding the position to defend against the Vietnamese soldiers who could burst up at any time.
And this persistence soon paid off, a Vietnamese scout was quietly walking in the direction of Xiaoping, through the scope, Xiaoping saw the identity of this person, an artillery scout.
This is very similar to the observer of a sniper, that is, looking for a target, at this moment this person must be looking for the PLA point, if you put this person back, it would be terrible.
So Xiang Xiaoping endured a severe headache, concentrated hard, and aimed his gun at the fast-moving Vietnamese soldier.
The man walked fast and slowly, stopping from time to time to look around, and it was very difficult to determine his next move.
And the trees around him have become his cover, and there are many things stuffed in the small scope, which is difficult to kill in one hit.
Under such circumstances, Xiang Xiaoping decided to attack decisively, only to hear a "bang", the Vietnamese soldier's head instantly bloomed, gurgling blood out, and instantly did not move.
Xiang Xiaoping smiled with satisfaction, then retreated backwards, and after returning to the cat's ear hole, he changed positions and continued to snipe.
In more than 40 days of perseverance, Xiang Xiaoping was sick for most of the time, and once fell into a pit more than two meters deep, and after waking up, he could only survive on water from the banana tree and a small piece of compressed biscuit for seven days and seven nights.
Despite this, Xiang Xiaoping still insisted on resisting the enemy, and the barrel of the gun was always defended in the direction of Vietnam, as long as there was a Vietnamese monkey coming up, Xiang Xiaoping was a decisive shot!
Relying on his strong physical fitness and high-level combat ability, Xiang Xiaoping used 31 rounds of ammunition to solve 30 Vietnamese soldiers in 40 days, seriously wounded one person, and handed over a "near-miracle" report on the battle situation.
Xiang Xiaoping's prestige spread instantly among the Sino-Vietnamese positions on the old mountain, and the Vietnamese were convinced that in this primitive dense forest, there was a "god of death" hiding in a hundred shots, and the Chinese preferred to call him a hero!
In 1988, the Central Military Commission awarded Xiang Xiaoping the title of "Battle Hero", and dozens of domestic newspapers and media reported his deeds one after another, and the whole country knew about his heroic deeds, and this is also the honor he deserves!
