"One husband should be the gate, and ten thousand men should not open it" This is Li Bai 's " Shu Dao is difficult " describes Jianmenguan. The terrain of Jianmenguan is high and dangerous, and one person guards the gate. Even tens of thousands of people are hard to get in.
Today we also use this sentence to describe a volunteer soldier on the Korean battlefield.
Tan Bingyun
Relying on a gun, grenade , and explosive , he blocked the American cavalry and successfully reserved enough time for the retreat of other volunteers.
One person is enough to fight against the strength of a division of the US military and withstand the most difficult eight hours. Do you believe in such a miracle? Where did
, the strongest individual soldier in the Volunteer Army come from? What kind of super power does he have to withstand the strength of a division?
At the end of The Korean War When the class teacher returned to the DPRK and was received by the chairman, what happened to his ending?
Tan Bingyun
was poor in his early years and joined the People's Liberation Army
In 1923,Tan Bingyun was born in a small county in Jiangjin District, Chongqing (formerly Jiangjin County, Sichuan). His parents were farmers.
Tan Bingyun has always been very sensible. He has learned to share housework for the family at a very young age. He is also considered a poor child. He has been working as a sheep herder since he was a child, and he can earn a meager salary to support the family.
At the same time, he has also been treated unfairly and exploited a lot. He is often unable to eat enough, and he can only survive with all his hard work, but this has also indirectly cultivated his strong, brave and hard-working spirit.
Tan Bingyun
1948, the People's Liberation Army came south to his hometown. Since then, there was a new light in his eyes. He made up his mind to join the People's Liberation Army, determined to get rid of his current life and make a new face.
Tan Bingyun, who joined the People's Liberation Army, seizes every opportunity to fight and is not afraid of strong enemies. Every time he fights, he is the one who rushes to the front, and he has brought hard work and hard work to the extreme. It is precisely because of his spirit that
has always influenced other people in the army, and he was able to win and escape despite encountering the enemy's encirclement many times.
In the second year of joining the army, Tan Bingyun followed the army to participate in the battle to liberate Shanghai.
Tan Bingyun
In order to cross the river, when the troops needed a pontoon bridge, he volunteered to lead everyone to build wooden boards in the water, and finally successfully crossed the river.
In this battle, he put his own life and death aside, risking being killed by the enemy at any time, and resolutely jumped into the river to build a pontoon for his comrades.
At that time, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to let his comrades cross the river safely. No matter how difficult and dangerous it was, he would always rush ahead.
Although Tan Bingyun's experience at the time was still lacking, his spirit was commendable, brave and courageous, and he solved many obstacles and problems for the troops. So after the battle, he was also awarded third-class merit .
Tan Bingyun
For him, a recruit has already received a third-class merit award in less than two years. What kind of honor is this?
Tan Bingyun originally thought that after the end of the war of liberation, there would be no more wars in China, and the people would not be displaced on a large scale. He could finally return to his hometown to be an ordinary farmer and live an ordinary and happy life.
But the Korean War came so unexpectedly, and before he had time to retire, he responded to the call of the country and voluntarily joined the Volunteer Army to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea to resist outside intrusions together with North Korea.
is just not fighting the Japanese this time, but to compete with the Americans who have advanced weapons and equipment. Not only did he not back down, but he was a little excited, thinking that the opportunity to make a fortune was in front of him.
Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
On the Korean battlefield, Tan Bingyun also maintained his usualHis style and momentum, in the face of the blood and blood on the battlefield, he didn't know what to be afraid of, and the more he fought, the more courageous he was, and he rushed forward desperately.
When he faced the artillery fire, not only did he not get hit by the enemy's bullets, but he also made him shine on the battlefield, and the enemy on the opposite side also stared at him and did not dare to act rashly.
Tan Bingyun made a lot of contributions in this battle, and also won the special attention of the superior leaders.
Tan Bingyun
A hero on the battlefield, fighting alone
In May 1951 , the fifth battle has come to an end, after the previous fights between the two sides, the commander-in-chief of United Nations has also become Li Qiwei .
After Li Qiwei took office, he made a full analysis of our army's line and previous battles.
also seized our weakness, knowing that our logistical support could not keep up, thinking about cutting off our supplies, and starting a wheel war with us.
Li Qiwei
But Li Qiwei's motives have been noticed in advance by the boss of Peng Dehuai , not to mention the supply problem has always been a hidden danger for us, so we will naturally pay special attention.
At the critical juncture of the battle between the two sides, Mr. Peng could only order the troops south of the Beihanjiang defense line to withdraw quickly.
But Ridgway has dispatched a large number of air forces to blow up our retreat bridge and cut our retreat.
Volunteers also received an order from the headquarters to withdraw to the north and cross the river in danger.
Peng Dehuai
In order to cover the retreat of the large army, Tan Bingyun also volunteered to come to a highland code-named 390 in Jinhua City, where he wanted to block the tank unit of the US military.
And he also wrote his highlight legend here.
On the night of May 24th, Tan Bingyun took another fighter, Mao and , to build fortifications near the 390 highland overnight. At the same time, he was also carefully pondering the plan to stop the enemy.
He knew in his heart that this battle was not to meet the enemy head-on, but to find a way to delay the time in the dark, hinder the pace of the US tanks, and buy more time for the other volunteer troops to retreat. The time
waited in the foxhole passed minute by minute, and the sound of the reel of the tank was getting closer.
At this time, Tan Bingyun gestured to Mao He, indicating that he should go first, and when the time was right, he would use the anti-tank grenade to defeat the enemy's tank troops.
Tan Bingyun's heart beat faster and faster as the tank approached. He estimated the distance between him and the tank in his heart and silently waited for the tank to enter the attackable range.
After waiting for the tank to approach, Tan Bingyun opened the anti-tank grenade as soon as possible according to the rhythm of the previous training, and then threw it at the tank.
The grenade landed with a loud bang and the flames shot into the sky, but the tank didn't stop.
It turned out that the position of the grenade Tan Bingyun just threw deviates from the target location, but it blew up the tank's lights, and did not cause damage to the main body.
missed one move, then another move. Tan Bingyun, who stood up, had no concern for his own safety, so he quickly took out the second grenade and threw it at the tank again.
This time, the first tank was successfully destroyed, but because the lethality of the grenade explosion was too wide, Tan Bingyun couldn't dodge in time, so he passed out on the spot.
Another soldier, Mao He, ran to Tan Bingyun immediately, tried to wake him up, and put a simple bandage on his wound. Tan Bingyun soon recovered, but the other tanks of the US military were still advancing.
At this time, Tan Bingyun only had the last grenade left in his hand. He didn't care about the pain in his body, so he threw the third grenade when he found the target.
, who was in a hurry, gave Mao He a gesture at the first time, and he himself went to attract the firepower of the other party and let Mao He find a chance to blow up the tank., and finally under his cover, Mao He also hit the target and successfully blew up the second tank. The tank troops behind
saw that the two tanks in front were blown up, thinking that we had ambushed explosives and heavy troops on the road, and they had to retreat first to stand by.
Since the tank troops have not dared to advance rashly, then we only need to continue to block with firepower in the future, then we will definitely buy more time for the large troops to retreat.
On the night of the same day, the U.S. tank troops did not launch any further attacks, but the bomber was dispatched early the next morning to bomb the 390 Heights. After the bombing, they sent vehicles to explore the way.
Tan Bingyun was ambushed in the 390 height at this time, aiming at the liaison officer in the car to shoot.
Among the tanks that came later, Tan Bingyun found a dead spot for shooting again, blew up the chassis of the tank, and caused a series of explosions in the tank. The situation like
really made the U.S. troops panic. They all thought we were in ambush and could only retreat. Tan Bingyun also took the opportunity to escape and returned to a safe high ground. When the
division returned to the DPRK, the chairman met with
. Because Tan Bingyun kept changing positions to snip at the enemy, and the strafing of the enemy tanks did not cause damage to him, the enemy could not figure out how many of us were still in ambush.
They didn't dare to attack rashly, and they couldn't retreat too far. In the end, I didn't expect that the two sides actually pulled for 8 hours . These 8 hours are really too precious for us, enough for our large troops to retreat.
No one thought that Tan Bingyun would block the U.S. military for 8 hours by himself, completing an impossible task, but it really happened on the battlefield!
But in his eyes, he just completed the task explained above, and he has no idea how much shock he brought us.
The enemy's tank unit did not expect that there was no explosive ambush on the opposite side and no heavy troops to intercept them. Only Tan Bingyun was the only one who hindered them for 8 hours.
When Tan Bingyun withdrew the main unit of the 27th Army, the commander knew that he had made extraordinary achievements, and praised him for his wit and bravery. He even took a photo with him and published it in major media and newspapers.
After the end of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, our volunteers have also withdrawn to the country one after another. After
returned to China, Tan Bingyun became a man of influence. His deeds have long been passed back to China, and Chairman Mao led other central leaders also wanted to see the truth.
After returning to China, Tan Bingyun was not only praised and rewarded by leaders such as Chairman Mao, he even received a toast from the four marshals in person at the celebration of the Korean War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. This is such an honor for a soldier.
Later, on the National Day, Tan Bingyun was also invited to watch the military parade in Tiananmen Square. Before that, he was awarded the special merit , and won the title of first-class hero .
Tiananmen Ceremony
Because of his outstanding performance in the Korean War, the North Korean leader also paid attention to him, and the North Korean leader also contacted Peng Dehuai, wanting to award Tan Bingyun the Medal of Honor as a first-class soldier.
Later, he was invited to North Korea and was warmly welcomed by the North Korean people.
Logically speaking, with his excellence, he can continue to study in the army, and it is also possible to become a regimental commander-level officer in time.
But what is surprising is that he gave up this opportunity. When the country was not peaceful, he was bent on making achievements.
Now that Tan Bingyun and his family
have settled down, Tan Bingyun hopes to go back to live a normal life, develop the construction of his hometown, and continue to play his role in another way. After returning to his hometown, Tan Bingyun also served as deputy chief, section chief, and deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Jiangjin County, Jiangjin County, and later retired in 1983.
in 1991, Tan Bingyun who is already oldHe was invited by the North Korean leader to visit North Korea again. The 12 volunteers who accompanied him all enjoyed the highest courtesy of North Korea.
To this day, the museums of North Korea still preserve the photos of these people's heroes , and their textbooks for primary and middle school students also contain the legendary deeds of these Chinese Volunteer Army ,

Not only have we not forgotten these fighting heroes, but North Korea has not forgotten either, their stories will always live in our hearts.
Tan Bingyun's life was the creator of miracles. He could forget life and death on the battlefield, fought bravely to kill the enemy, survived from the enemy's knife point again and again, and also caused a certain deterrent to the enemy.
His achievements in his life have been deeply engraved in the history of the country, and we will never forget him. Besides, he never put on airs, nor was he proud at all. After he became famous, he was willing to go back to build his hometown.
This is the hero of our older generation. Each of them is the creator of this era and the creator of miracles. In our eyes, what we can't accomplish now, they all took it hard at that time.
Therefore, whether it is the past, present or future, as long as we can unite as one, we will also create miracles that belong to this new era and make the impossible possible.
