Speaking of landlords, many people of the older generation may hate them with itchy teeth, because everyone has the impression that ordinary landlords are only concerned about their own pleasures and squeeze the people for their own interests. Therefore, landlords have appeared in the opposite image in history, and there is even a card game called Fighting Landlord. But everything can not be said so absolutely, today is talking about a landlord, he is very bloody, during the War of Resistance, he resolutely led the whole family into the road to save the country, his name is Dai Wanling, although he is a big landlord, but also a hero of the War of Resistance.
Dai Wanling's ancestral home is actually Shandong, during the Qing Dynasty, Shandong was plagued by famine, and his ancestors fled to Jilin with their families. After several generations of development, by the generation of Dai Wanling, the Dai family was already one of the richest families in the Dunhua area of Jilin Province. Dai Wanling was born in a family of brocade and jade food, and from an early age, he had servants around him, and his family had thousands of acres of land and various industries in Dunhua, and he was a veritable landlord.
However, although the family is very rich, Dai Wanling was born kind, never did squeezing things, and has repeatedly reached out to help the poor people, so Dai Wanling has a good reputation in Dunhua, and the people respect him. Originally, Dai Ailing could live a peaceful life like this, but when she encountered war, her patriotic feelings made it impossible for him to sit idly by. After the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army successively occupied many cities in China, and the entire territory of northeast China was also occupied by the Japanese army, and the puppet state of Manchukuo was also established.
Dai Wanling had a brother named Wang Delin, who was the battalion commander of the Northeast Military Camp, and after the total fall of Japan, because Wang Delin did not want to become a prisoner of the Japanese army, he carried out anti-Japanese activities in such a difficult environment and established the Chinese National Salvation Army. Under the influence of Wang Delin, Dai Wanling decided to join the anti-Japanese movement to save the dead, Wang Delin analyzed the current domestic form, the most important thing in the national disaster is unity, Dai Wanling deeply agreed with this.
Wang Delin may not have thought of getting the support of his friend Dai Wanling, and he also admired him in his heart and directly appointed him as the captain of the brigade. Dai Wanling did a lot of work to resist the Japanese, first gathering all the family members and gardeners and joining his own ranks, and then using the fame and popularity he had accumulated in the local area to gather a lot of patriots to join, and mobilized more than 200 people in a few days. Under the leadership of Dai Wanling, the National Salvation Independence Battalion was established, and although the number of independent battalions was not as large as other teams, almost all of them were young and strong, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.
In the following years, Dai Wanling led the independent battalion to start anti-Japanese operations, suppressed the Japanese army, and won many victories, accumulating more and more powerful independent battalions over time, and repeatedly dealing heavy blows to the Japanese army. Over time, the independent battalion attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army mobilized a large number of elite troops in order to stop the loss in time, hoping to take the independent battalion in one fell swoop. The repeated bombing of the Japanese army caused heavy losses to the independent battalion, and Wang Delin could only temporarily retreat to the territory of the Soviet Union, and also advised Dai Wanling to avoid the wind together, but he was bent on resisting Japan and never took a step back.
Dai Wanling continued to negotiate with the Japanese army with the few remaining troops, although he finally broke out of the encirclement of the Japanese army, but Dai Wanling also paid a tragic price for this, Dai Wanling's five sons were all killed on the battlefield, and only he and his young son were still alive in the entire Dai family. In 1937, when Dai Wanling was gathering intelligence, he was betrayed by traitors and fell into the hands of the Japanese, but in the face of torture, he never exposed a word.
Finally, under the cruel treatment of the Japanese army, Dai Wanling, who was already over the age of flower armor, died heroically, and his youngest son Dai Kezheng was also brutally killed by the Japanese army shortly after, at the age of 23. Dai Wanling's family participated in the anti-Japanese war, and all the men of the Dai family died on the battlefield, which can be described as full of loyal martyrs. If Dai Wanling wants to survive the war in peace, in fact, according to the Dai family's financial resources, they can completely support them to flee, but in the face of the invaders, no one in the Dai family has flinched, and such a patriotic spirit is admirable and worthy of our praise.
