During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Dai Wanling, the richest man living along the Shahe River in Dunhua County, Jilin Province, raised his family to resist Japan, and his father, son, and brother went to the battlefield together to form the "Dai Family Army", stained the white mountains and black water with blood, sacrificed his life for the anti-Japanese struggle to save the country, and gave everything. Today, we will learn about the Dai family's song-and-cry war story.
In the early winter, the reporter and his party came to Hedong Village, a town along the Shahe River in Dunhua City. Villager Yan Qingshan took us to a field covered with snow outside the village and told us that this was the original site of the Dai family compound.
After the September 18 Incident, Wang Delin, former commander of the Third Battalion of the 676th Regiment of the 27th Brigade of the Jilin Provincial Defense Army, raised the anti-Japanese banner and formed the "Chinese National Salvation Army." Dai Wanling organized more than 50 members of the Dai family, including uncles, 3 brothers, and 5 sons, and more than 200 gunners and villagers to resolutely join the Chinese National Salvation Army and was organized as the Fifth Battalion, known as "Dai Camp", and Dai Wanling served as the battalion commander and went to war with the Chinese Communist National Salvation Army. After a dozen Dunhua, the Dai family was subjected to crazy retaliation from the Japanese puppet army.
After the collapse of the Chinese National Salvation Army, the dai family members successively joined the party-led Suining Anti-Japanese Allied Army, the Fifth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, and the Fifth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army. In 1937, Dai Wanling led his troops to secretly sneak back to the area along the Dunhua Shahe River to collect supplies, but unfortunately he was captured and tortured.
In the brutal northeast anti-Japanese battlefield, the vast majority of the hot-blooded men of the Dai family's ten thousand characters and the Ke zi generation sacrificed. Among them, Dai Wanling's sixth son, Dai Kezheng, joined the army at the age of 16 and was promoted to the commander of the Ninth Regiment of the Third Division of the Fifth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army at the age of 22. In August 1938, in baoqing county, Xiaotuan Shanzi temporary detention center fought fiercely with the enemy, And Dai Kezheng was killed. Dai Yumei, 96 years old this year, remembers that the elders in the family are all heroes with iron bones.
The anti-Japanese deeds of the three generations of the Dai family have been circulating in the local area. In order to let more people know about the heroic deeds of the Dai family, Dunhua City has systematically excavated the deeds of the Dai family.
