Why are the soldiers at the forefront on the battlefield?

Netizens think this is called charging to fight. If we really charge to fight like this, and the enemy fires machine guns, we will kill as many people as we charge.

In actual battles, charging is all about destroying the enemy and preserving yourself. You need to hide yourself from the enemy's discovery. If you charge without reaching the flag,

What is a charge? It means breaking through the enemy's defense line. , chase the enemy and fight, called charge.

The battlefield is usually quiet before the charge. Our infantry secretly approaches the enemy and ambush about a hundred meters away from the enemy. Various artillery pieces of our army set the time and fired at the enemy's forward position at the same time. The enemy was unable to raise his head. When our artillery suddenly stopped, before the enemy could react, our infantry occupied the enemy's forward position. This is called charging.

Question: How does it feel to be a soldier at the front? At this time, the soldiers were particularly focused. They were looking in all directions. As long as the enemy did not raise his hands to surrender, he would shoot him if there was any possibility of resistance.

During the War of Liberation, during the Battle of the Distribution Pool outside Jinzhou City, a company broke into the trench to attack. The instructor shouted, "Comrades, rush with me" and jumped out of the trench first... then the defending national army detonated the aerial bomb buried beside the trench. The company of nearly 200 people was wiped out in an instant, with only the instructor at the front surviving.

In the battle of the distribution pool, the most elite battalion of the 20th Regiment of the 7th Division of the 3rd Column on the attack mission was left with battalion commander Zhao Xingyuan and 5 soldiers, while the defending National Army 93rd Army temporarily had 22nd Division, 1st Regiment 2 Even a reinforced company composed of veterans with more than 8 years of service was completely wiped out, which was extremely tragic.

After the war, the cooking squad leader made pork stewed vermicelli and served it. He burst into tears when he found that no one had eaten it. The commander of the third column, Han Xianchu, reported to the Dongye Headquarters and said two sentences: "We have won it. The outer trench does not need engineers to set up a channel. The martyrs have paved the outer trench."

You ask about the charge. What do you think in the first place? Just like the instructor who was the first to break out of the trench, he didn't actually care about personal life or death, he just wanted to win the battle!

Explain the picture above. There seems to be a question on Zhihu about photos taken before death, and this is actually it.

His name is Yeremenko, political commissar of the 220th Company of the Soviet 4th Infantry Division.

After the bombardment ended, he was the first to jump up and charge. Soon the oncoming German bullet hit him.

This photo was taken subconsciously by the photographer and is his last photo.

He must be afraid of death, but because he is a soldier and a political commissar, he has no choice.

For many people, faith is just a matter of words, but for others, it needs to be practiced with blood and life.

The first ones to charge will be rewarded. When my uncle fought in Vietnam in 1984, he took the initiative to sign up for the sharp knife class, and he was among the first batch to charge. Why? Because those who survive in the sharp knife class are guaranteed to be rewarded for meritorious service and given priority.

I asked my uncle if he was not afraid of death? He said that he was originally from a farmer's background, and his family was too poor to have enough food to eat and couldn't find a wife. His mother has six children, and he is not worried about his mother's old age. It's better to come out and give it a try. Later he achieved third-class merit. When he was discharged from the army, he was assigned to a car team. Later, the car team was disbanded and he started running big trucks. His life is much better than that of his comrades and his brothers, which is the result of this choice.

He said that after the charge sounds, you don’t have to worry about fear, because you consider many things, such as where the enemy’s firepower is, how I can avoid it, how I can cover my comrades, etc. And he said that at that time, the sound of artillery shells shook your head and you couldn't be afraid.

The squad leader of the sharp knife squad was the commander of his company. He was a veteran who participated in the battles in 1979 and 1981. Their sharp knife squad first slowly took advantage of the cover of our army's artillery fire to ambush in front of the Vietnamese army's position at night. At dawn, when the charge horn sounded, they charged first. The goal was to suppress the Vietnamese army's firepower and create conditions for their company's follow-up troops to rush forward. In the end, 8 of the 12 people in the sharp knife class survived, five of them were injured, and three were disabled in the end. My uncle was slightly injured. So it’s third-class merit.

When I was discharged from the army, I was willing to join the automobile team because I had the skills and being able to drive a big truck in the 1980s was amazing.

The regiment made it clear that those who had participated in the commando team or sharp knife class and had made outstanding achievements would be given priority, and my uncle was chosen.
