On September 3, 1945, after 14 years of bloody struggle, the Chinese finally won a great victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the great spirit of the War of Resistance tempered by blood and fire was frozen in the long space of history.
The flames of war are gone, but the spirit lives on! On the occasion of commemorating the 76th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, this reporter interviewed four veterans of the Weihai War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression who were over 90 years old, ranging from 14 to 20 years old when they joined the army, and each of them had a heroic story of "a teenager who has no remorse and returns for life without regret". As the elderly Sun Jikui said: "You ask me how I feel about participating in the War of Resistance, 14 years old, fearless!" 92, no regrets! ”
Paramedic Sun Jikui: Evacuate hundreds of wounded on stretchers and tell them that victory is just around the corner
■ Character Profile:
Sun Jikui, a native of Weihai, Shandong, was born in November 1929, joined the army gloriously around the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1943, was demobilized and returned to his hometown in 1954, and successively served in the Health Brigade of the Logistics Department of the East Naval Sub-district and the 13th Column of the East China Field Army, and participated in more than 100 battles such as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.
"I saw my comrades in arms in the newspaper, can you help me find them?" This was the first thing he said when he met Sun Jikui. With that, he began to rummage through the newspaper. The old man in front of him had a white head, a straight waist, and a burning look that could not see that this was a 92-year-old man.
On the desk, there are Sun Jikui's precious newspaper clippings, the latest one is written about the Tokyo Winter Olympics, the thickest one is the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, and when holding the newspaper, you can faintly see the bullet above his left arm. When he found the newspaper, Sun Jikui pointed to the old man above and said, "There are few left in our division, and he must remember me..."
"You want to hear about me going to resist Japan, I joined the army from school at the age of 14. The flames of war have burned to the doorstep, and every day I have an idea in my heart - to fight the devil! Sun Jikui is a native of Whale Garden Village in Huancui District, and when the Japanese army occupied Weihai in 1938, he was in elementary school, and in the face of imperialist colonial education, the seeds of resistance had already been planted in his heart. After entering the first year of junior high school, 14-year-old Sun Jikui could no longer suppress his inner grief and indignation, and joined the army on foot for a day and a night with two classmates. Because Sun Jikui was too young at that time, he eventually became a medic soldier in the health brigade of the Logistics Department of the East Naval Division.
At that time, Sun Jikui was responsible for wound treatment and daily care for the wounded every day. There are only more than 10 medical staff in the entire rear hospital, and the wounded are hundreds of people, and everyone can rest very little time. Because of the limited conditions, many of the wounded were distributed in the homes of local people, and Sun Jikui and other medical soldiers had to go on duty day and night.
Sun Jikui can't forget his 15-year-old, although he did not go to the battlefield that year, he experienced the cruelty of war, and he tried his best to alleviate the pain of the bleeding soldiers, often chatting with them to divert his attention. The deepest impression was that there was a soldier of the Eighth Route Army of similar age, who was hit by shrapnel in the chest, and whimpered with tears: "Homesick, want to go home..." Sun Jikui comforted him, "You can rest assured, liberation is in front of you, and you will be able to go home when the time comes." The warrior smiled and went to sleep, never to wake up again.
Sun Jikui participated in the transfer and cover of hundreds of wounded in the three anti-Japanese purges, and treated more than 500 wounded in the liberation of Yantai, Weihai, Wenden, and Rongcheng in 1945. When he learned of the surrender of the Japanese army, Sun Jikui said: "My heart is very calm, and I hope that the people who died on the battlefield will know this news." ”
During the Liberation War, Sun Jikui rushed to the front line and personally killed the enemy as he wished, and he participated in more than a hundred battles of various sizes such as pingdu, Laiyang, and Haiyang. In the Battle of Laixi Xiaobu in 1947, Sun Jikui, then a platoon leader, led the soldiers to charge into the front, and was hit in the left arm by a submachine gun during a head-on confrontation with the enemy, resulting in a permanent crushing fracture, thanks to the comrades who braved the rain of bullets to carry him back to the rear hospital, he was able to save his life. Touching the scar on his left arm, the old man's eyes were full of tears: "This mark is to let me not forget the comrades who fought side by side, and not to forget the revolutionary years of defending the country." ”
Assault sharp soldier Chen Shiyuan: The first battle chased out of ten miles
Chen Shiyuan, born in May 1925, joined the Eighth Route Army in 1941 and joined the Party in 1943. In July 1947, because of the bravery of the fighter, he was promoted to company commander by a soldier of an independent battalion, and was awarded the title of "Combat Model" for 1 time and the second class for 2 times.
On September 1st, autumn was high. The village of Beiyezikou in Shangzhuang Town, Rongcheng City, is exceptionally quiet, and Chen Shiyuan, a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, lives in one of the small courtyards of a farm. The 97-year-old gray-haired old hero was particularly excited when he talked about the anti-Japanese resistance when he was young.
"Before I joined the army, I gritted my teeth at the Japanese." Chen Shiyuan's expression was solemn, and his thoughts returned to the past. In the first month of 1941, the 16-year-old Chen Shiyuan walked for two days and two nights to join the army, became a soldier in the Wenden Independent Battalion, and was given a small rifle that he loved.
Unexpectedly, on the third day of joining the army, Chen Shiyuan caught up with a battle. Only to hear the sound of the gun, Chen Shiyuan rushed forward with everyone. Recalling the situation at that time, Chen Shiyuan said that when the devils ate the defeat and retreated, he began to run wildly to catch up, "At that time, I could really run, and I had to chase out of the land for ten miles." When he reached a barren mountain and wild ridge, the ghost disappeared, and as soon as he turned around, the troops withdrew, and Chen Shiyuan returned with a gun on his back. After he returned, the platoon leader also had a special bowl of precious noodles to reward him.
In the early morning of 1942, the leaves around the troops suddenly began to shake wildly, and the astute Chen Shiyuan immediately reported the abnormality to the squad leader, and after reconnaissance, it was found that it was an ambush set by the enemy. "At that time, the situation was particularly urgent, and the large troops almost entered the enemy's encirclement," Chen Shiyuan still had palpitations when talking about this period. At that time, there was a platoon of fighters who were suppressed by enemy fire and could not retreat, so Chen Shiyuan saw the situation and took the machine gun squad fighters to block the attack and cover the retreat of his comrades. Under the strenuous resistance of the machine gun squad, the fighters who were trapped in the enemy's encirclement retreated. Immediately afterwards, our army counterattacked with grenades and machine guns, which not only turned the tide of the war, but also captured 15 enemy machine guns.
In the autumn of 1943, Chen Shiyuan's unit prepared to attack the Japanese Kou for the third time after sending people into Wenden City twice to obtain important information. Chen Shiyuan was selected to join the assault sharp knife team because of his agility, and his task was to "touch the post" into the city. That night, it was as dark as ink, the cold wind was piercing, and in order to facilitate the movement, everyone arrived at Wenden City in single clothes. "According to the password that was intercepted earlier, we successfully entered the city and captured more than 100 people." Chen Shiyuan recalled that then the commander of the large army drove straight in, almost without spending a single shot, and captured a squadron of the puppet army. After that, the large army successfully entered the city and encircled and suppressed the Japanese army. The movie "Three Into the Mountain City" is based on the deeds of Chen Shiyuan's unit Sanjin Wenden City to annihilate the devils and the Japanese puppet army.
"The little devils are very skilled, and the war depends entirely on the brain." Speaking of his feelings about fighting with the Japanese, Chen Shiyuan said while drawing with his hands. When fighting with the Japanese, it was difficult to determine the enemy's position, Chen Shiyuan came up with a grenade to try, and as soon as the grenade was thrown, the enemy's machine gun immediately swept over, so that the enemy's position was known. Another time he found that there was flat land everywhere, only a high slope, so he used machine gun fire to lure out the Japanese devils, and then immediately returned to the company to reflect the situation, and the large troops set out to annihilate all the Japanese devils.
Later, Chen Shiyuan threw himself into the Liberation War and was promoted to company commander for his outstanding performance. Due to multiple injuries to his body, the troops arranged for him to work at the Xinjin County Public Security Bureau in Liaoning Province. Chen Shiyuan was demobilized in September 1948, but in the face of the government's arrangement of the ministry of armed forces, he politely refused: "It will not cause trouble to the country." After that, the old man returned to the village to live until now.
"Eagle Eye" recruit Tian Zhaoqing: On the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, we will never let an enemy escape
Tian Zhaoqing, a native of Weihai, Shandong, was born in September 1930. In March 1945, with the encouragement and support of his family, he signed up for the army and was assigned to the district squadron to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japan. During the Liberation War, he was incorporated into the Ninth Column of the East China Field Army, and participated in the Battle of Menglianggu, the Battle of Nanma Linqu, and the Battle of Weixian County, and won the third class merit once.
On August 30, 90-year-old Tian Zhaoqing turned over his treasured commemorative medal for the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and fondly touched it, recalling the "new soldier egg" 76 years ago.
"Defeat the Japanese devils and drive them out of China!" With this belief, in March 1945, tian Zhaoqing, who was only 14 years old, signed up for the army from Nanxiaocheng Village, Yangting Town, Huancui District, and was incorporated into the third district squadron of the South China Sea Independent Regiment, and followed the team to participate in a series of actions to liberate Beizhu Island.
At that time, the anti-Japanese armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party of China prepared to attack the Japanese puppet army strongholds stationed on Beizhu Island, and made a series of arrangements in advance, and "blocking grain" was an important part. "In order to weaken the japanese puppet army, we pulled up a grain blockade line of more than ten kilometers, that is, to cut off their food sources." Tian Zhaoqing stood near the Wangjia River in Yangting Town, checking the identities of the crowd one by one and not sparing any suspicious persons.
A few days before the attack on Beizhu Island, the captain called Tian Zhaoqing and other deployment tasks: "There is a Japanese puppet army stationed in Beigou, and when a large force attacks Beizhu Island, we can't let them reinforce, so let me die to see them!" The captain's words made Tian Zhaoqing's blood boil, and under the strict defense of Tian Zhaoqing and his comrades-in-arms, the Japanese puppet army in Beigou was trapped on the mountain and almost ran out of food. The enemy who was eager to move wanted to take advantage of the darkness to kidnap nearby villagers and threaten the hostage's relatives to send food for replacement, Tian Zhaoqing and others immediately discovered the enemy's plan, strengthened surveillance, and stationed near Beigou in shifts, "If I find that the Japanese puppet army is ready to go down the mountain, I will shoot a warning and never let any enemy escape." Tian Zhaoqing's eyes were sharp, he could clearly see the figures in the black and dark mountain forest, and when he was stationed at night, he held the "Hanyang-made", a pair of "eagle eyes" stared intently at the mountains and forests, not letting go of any wind and grass, under the airtight surveillance, the Japanese puppet army no longer dared to act rashly.
On August 1, the gunshots of the main force attacking the Japanese puppet army stronghold on Beizhu Island were fired, and with the help of the deployment of the Japanese puppet army in the early stage of blocking grain and besieging the surrounding Japanese puppet army, the strength of the enemy army on Beizhu Island was greatly reduced, and after a night of fighting, on the morning of August 2, the North Bamboo Island stronghold was pulled out. And in Beigou, because of the siege for many days and the enemy who ran out of food and ammunition was unable to reinforce, Tian Zhaoqing and others took the Beigou stronghold with a single blow and captured several firearms, "Although we did not confront the enemy head-on in the main battlefield, our task is related to the victory or defeat of the main battlefield. ”
Later, during the Liberation War, Tian Zhaoqing was incorporated into the Ninth Column of the East China Field Army, followed the troops day and night, and participated in many battles such as the Battle of Menglianggu, the Battle of Nanma Linqu, and the Battle of Weixian County. In the Battle of Weixian County, Tian Zhaoqing was wounded by multiple bullets in the shoulder and waist, and retired to the village in June 1948 to recuperate.
Now Tian Zhaoqing's vision has been blurred, and the "eagle eye" is no longer there, but whenever he talks about the years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, his spirit rises again: "Joining the anti-Japanese contingent and participating in the liberation of Weihai is the proudest thing in my life!" When he said this, Tian Zhaoqing's eyes shone again.
Correspondent Jin Liyi: "No matter how hard it is, the common people and the Eighth Route Army always have one heart"
Jin Liyi, a native of Wendeng, Shandong, was born in May 1928, joined the army in May 1945, joined the Communist Party of China in 1947, and returned to his hometown in May 1951 due to injury and illness. He participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and was awarded the third class merit once and the fourth class merit once during his service.
At the bedside of Jin Liyi, a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there is an army-green maza, and the ribbon on the maza is embroidered with a bright red five-pointed star. The old man said that this maza reminds him of his military career more than 70 years ago. Although he joined the army in 1945 and participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan for more than 4 months, he left an indelible imprint on the 93-year-old man.
It was 1944, and Kim Ri-yi, who lived in Gaocun Township, Wenden District, was out of town and met with the Japanese soldiers who had gone to the countryside to sweep, and the Japanese soldiers who were giggling came up and slapped him. Afterwards, full of humiliation and humiliation, Jin Liyi made up his mind to join the army to resist Japan at the age of 18. In the words of the old man, "The crops could not be planted, and they were bent on driving the Japanese out of China, and they had no intention of returning alive." ”
Jin Liyi and four fellow villagers walked the dirt road for two days, and finally came to the Jiaodong Military Region garrison in Taocun Town, Yantai City, more than a hundred miles away. The troops thought he was small and did not want to accept him, Jin Liyi had a resolute attitude, grinding hard bubbles, and was finally accepted by the troops. Eventually, he became a correspondent in the Quartermaster Department of the Logistics Department, mainly responsible for the communications of the logistics factories and the liaison between the superiors and subordinates, Jin Liyi said: "As long as I can contribute to the fight against the 'devils', I am willing to do it!" ”
Jin Liyi remembers that at that time, the equipment of the enemy and us was very different, and our weapons and ammunition were insufficient, usually only 3 bullets in a gun. In order to confuse the Japanese army, the soldiers also stuffed the magazines and bullet boxes with crops such as sorghum to create the illusion of sufficient ammunition.
The weapons and equipment could not be matched, so they tactically adopted the method of dispersing guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army and the puppet army. "My battalion had about five hundred men, divided into three companies scattered in different places, and the Japanese moved their positions when they came." Jin Liyi said that he would follow the headquarters wherever he went, from Mashishan to Gushan, from Qixia to Muping, and in just four months he followed the troops all over the vicinity of Taocun Town. At that time, he also felt that in the land of Jiaodong, no matter how difficult the conditions were, the common people and the Eighth Route Army were all one heart, so every "sweep" could turn the danger into a disaster, and from time to time he could organize a counter-offensive.
On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. The station was remote, there was no broadcast, and the superiors sent newspaper messages. As a correspondent, Jin Liyi got the newspaper for the first time and gave it to the leader.
"The chief read the newspaper, was stunned, and ran out the door to shake the newspaper and shouted, 'The Japanese have surrendered!' The Japanese surrendered! At first it was one person shouting, then everyone was shouting, everyone was laughing, laughing and jumping and running, I don't know who started crying, so many people were crying. Jin Liyi will always remember that day, as soon as the news came out, the troop garrison suddenly became noisy, and everyone was happier than the New Year.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Kim Took part in the War of Liberation and did not return to his hometown for physical reasons until 1951. More than seventy years have passed in a flash, Jin Liyi has witnessed the country's prosperity and strength from "backward and beaten" to today, and sometimes can't help but think back to the days when the War of Resistance Against Japan evaded the "devils" sweeping, and could not help but sigh: "The country is strong, we no longer have to be chased and run!"
