Cadres at all levels in Sichuan Army (15 Army) want to compete with Americans and exercise themselves and their troops. The fighting spirit of the troops is very high. At that time, the Southwest Bureau did not make it clear who would go and who would not. At the meeting the next day, political commissar Deng agreed that 15 Army should be transferred from the southwest to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In order to accomplish this arduous and glorious task, at the swearing-in meeting of the army, Qin Jiwei took the lead in taking an oath: if he didn't make the hero list, he would paint the martyrs monument.
Nie Jifeng, then political commissar of the 45th Division of the 15 Army, recalled that when the 15 Army left Sichuan, there were many people who signed up for the volunteers. According to the number of troops, it is impossible to recruit all these people into the 15 unit sequence. At that time, the local government also sent a group of backbone supplementary troops. These backbones and soldiers are excellent. They are the best children in Bashu. It can be said that the Sichuan elder gave his best son to Qin Jiwei. Therefore, in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, especially in the Battle of Shangganling, many Sichuan combat heroes and heroes emerged in the 15 troops.
