The country belongs to everyone, and patriotism is everyone's duty. ——Tao Xingzhi
Throughout the ages, countless benevolent people have sung the praises of the motherland's kindness. As one of the individuals who make up the state, everyone should make it their duty to be patriotic.
As Shakespeare said, love the interests of the nation with greater respect, holiness, and seriousness than one's own life. As Marshal Chen Yi said, "If the motherland is in difficulty, Ru should be the forward." Safeguarding the security and interests of the country is the responsibility of every citizen.
The same was true for Qin Guang. From the moment he joined the Communist Party at the age of 13, he put his life aside. In the later anti-Japanese battlefield, he hung his life on the line countless times, and countless times he escaped from death, staggering and clenching his weapons at the enemy.
In 1943, the penultimate year before the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was also the deepest darkness before dawn. Qin Guang, who was the political commissar of the detachment, was swept away in the waist and seriously injured and fell to the ground.
The Japanese puppet army swept the battlefield according to the orders of the Japanese generals, and Qin Guang, who was still alive, was discovered by two puppet troops. At the moment when the situation was critical, Qin Guang, who was covered in blood, received a sentence in his ear, "Don't move, you will leave in a moment."
Contributors to the country deserve the highest respect. Qin Guang also became the only survivor of that battle, and later continued to make outstanding contributions to the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Qin Guangqi
In December 1917, Qin Guang was born in a small village in Huang'an County, Hubei Province. At that time, China had abolished the feudal monarchy, but the democratic republic did not lead them to a new life. The era under the domination of warlords has made them continue to struggle on the front line of food and clothing, living in hardship.
From the beginning of his understanding, Qin Guang understood the cruelty of fate. He longed for the day when this situation could be changed, he looked forward to being able to fight for himself, for the people, for the country, and he dreamed that there was a light that could lead them to achieve this wish.
So when a bloody revolution broke out in distant and cold Moscow, when the spark of the proletarian revolution lit up all over China, he knew that he had waited for the light.
In November 1930, at the age of 13, Qin Guangyi joined the local Workers' and Peasants' Red Army without hesitation, and began his revolutionary career from then on.
In September 1931, Japan launched the "918 Incident" in Shenyang, which shocked China and foreign countries, and in the same year, 14-year-old Qin Guang joined the Communist Youth League, and after experiencing the Long March, he became a full member of the Communist Party of China in 1936.
Life hangs in the balance
After becoming a full member of the COMMUNIST Party, the first large-scale battle qin guang had to face was the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which had already entered the period of all-out War of Resistance. In 1941, because of his excellent and positive performance, Qin Guang was transferred to the special third battalion of the Luxi Military Region by the central government and became the deputy instructor of the guard battalion of the military region.
At that time, the iron horses of the Japanese army had already trampled on most of our country, and the Rusi area was the next key point of their invasion. This also means that the Luxi Military Region, where Qin Guang is located, is about to face the menacing large-scale Japanese army.
Soon after, Qin Guang led the Tiesan Battalion to meet a fierce Japanese army in Suzhou. At that time, the gap in weapons and firepower between the two sides was huge, and our soldiers suffered heavy casualties. In the end, only more than twenty warriors, including Qin Guang, were left to support them bitterly.
The most cruel thing is that under the shelling, the Japanese army also dropped poison gas bombs on our side, except for Qin Guang, who retained a trace of consciousness because of the debris hit by the brain door, more than twenty other fighters were successfully captured by the Japanese army because the poison gas gradually lost consciousness.
When the Japanese army wanted to take them to an open place to slaughter, it was Qin Guang who roared angrily, startled the Japanese army, and also woke up the other confused fighters, giving our fighters a chance to escape.
However, Qin Guang was hit in the left shoulder and neck by the Japanese army one after another while escaping, and passed out. When his life was hanging on the line, Qin Guang's comrades found him, and Qin Guang also snatched his life from the hands of the God of Death because he was rescued in time.
This time, the experience and survival made Qin Guang get the praise of "living martyr". But for Qin Guang, his more urgent expectation was to quickly recover his body and return to the battlefield to avenge the death of his comrades.
Once again, he escaped death
Qin Guang returned to the army immediately after his wounds were healed. With the advancement of the war, China's anti-Japanese resistance entered a more stalemate stage. The special third battalion of the Luxi Military Region, where Qin Guang was located, was reassigned to the Seventh Military Region of Southern Hebei, and Qin Guang was also appointed by the central government as the political commissar of the Majiehe Detachment.
In March 1943, in order to escape the enemy's pursuit and give his side a short time to recuperate, Qin Guang led the team to move to Zhangliuzhao Village in Guan County, which had a more complex terrain. But soon, the Japanese army used artillery fire to blow up Qin Guangbu's defense line in the village.
In order to cover the withdrawal of the large troops, Qin Guang led a small team to rush to the front line regardless of his own safety. After throwing grenades at the enemy troops, Qin Guang, who was standing in front, was also quickly hit in the waist by the Japanese strafing, and the blood flowed.
Qin Guang had already had the experience of hanging his life on the line, and he very calmly touched his wound and found that the bullet did not penetrate his internal organs and cause irreparable damage. In order to fight for a longer time, in order to kill more enemies, Qin Guang, who had seriously lost most of his combat strength because of bloodshed, chose to close his eyes and pretend to die in place to wait for rescue.
The sound of artillery fire and gunfire in his ears did not stop until after a while, and Qin Guang knew that he would have to evade the sweeping of the battlefield after the war by the Japanese puppet army. He continued to close his eyes, motionless in place.
Sure enough, Qin Guang soon heard the footsteps that were gradually approaching. Step by step, a person slowly approached Qin Guang's side. Immediately after, the gun in Qin Guang's hand was moved.
Because the distance was too close, Qin Guang's movements could not be completely ignored. The young Japanese puppet army soon discovered that Qin Guang was still alive. Just as Qin Guang was tensing his body and thinking about how to deal with it, the young Japanese puppet army gently called out to an old Japanese puppet army next to him and asked him what he was going to do.
Qin Guang knew very well that with his current weakness, there was no way to escape the pursuit of the Japanese army if he was discovered. Therefore, at this moment of crisis, after sensing the hesitation of the two Japanese puppet troops, Qin Guang, dressed in the uniform of the Eighth Route Army and covered in blood, opened his eyes.
He looked at the two crooked people wearing Japanese puppet army clothes next to him and said softly, "Chinese don't kill Chinese."
No matter what reason they had stood against the country as a Japanese puppet army, at this time, Qin Guang hoped that they still had a trace of conscience in their hearts, and they were willing to turn a blind eye and give the Eighth Route Army, which was fighting for the country, a possibility of survival.
Perhaps it was Qin Guang's firmness and grandeur that shocked them, or perhaps they still had a trace of conscience in their hearts for the country, and the elderly Japanese puppet army leaned down and said in Qin Guang's ear: "Don't move, we will leave in a moment." ”
They kept their promise, and Qin Guang was really able to survive. But unfortunately, in the silent ruins of the post-war period, he was the only one who survived.
brief summary:
After Qin Guang, he became more and more courageous, whether it was the War of Liberation or the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he made outstanding contributions to the country by killing the enemy bravely. It wasn't until 2019 that the 102-year-old veteran, who had more than a dozen bullet fragments on his body, bid farewell to China, which he had guarded all his life.
