Wang Jiantang, a Native of Sichuan, had one thing worthy of his glory, that is, a "death flag" given to him by his father Wang Zhicheng.
The "July 7" incident broke out, the whole country was indignant, and the town of Qushan, which is located in the remote mountainous area of Sichuan, also boiled over, the Japanese devils deceived people too much, the nationalist army was gradually defeated, and the situation on the front line made a group of young people in the town anxious. Wang Jiantang is one of them.
The blood-boiling Wang Jiantang connected with a hundred and ten like-minded young people and asked the county magistrate Cheng Yunzhang to kill the enemy. The county magistrate organized them into the "Anxian Characteristic Volunteer Brigade" and incorporated them into the "Characteristics" task of the county government.
Just before the "Volunteer Brigade" was about to leave, the county magistrate Cheng Yunzhang received a package from Wang Zhicheng of Qushan Town, and the recipient was his son Wang Jiantang.
Inside the package was a flag made of large white cloth, and in the middle of the flag was written the word "dead" in a big bucket.
The county magistrate was stunned, where under the heavens did a father send off his son like this? He couldn't wait to carefully examine this strange "dead flag", and wrote such a small line on the right side of the word "death": I don't want you to fulfill your filial piety in front of me, only that you are loyal to the national division.
On the left side of the word "death" is written: The country is in trouble, the Japanese are vicious, the country rises and falls, the puppet has the responsibility, the original wants to serve, nai is over the age, fortunately I have a son, consciously ask for help, give a flag, always carry it, wipe the blood when hurt, wrap up after death, always go straight, don't forget your duty.
Falling: Father's Hand.
The county magistrate is also a father, so he can fully understand the state of mind of the bookkeeper Wang Zhicheng, and he can feel the arrogance of Wang Jiantang's white-haired father when he wrote this banner of "death", and even imagine the old man's hand that has been full of vicissitudes holding the bucket pen and trembling...
A few days later, the Sichuan Military District sent a glorious plaque to the Wang family, which was inscribed with the four characters of "Father's Righteous Son Loyalty", the upper paragraph: the righteous people of the king sincerely sent his son to march on a glorious expedition, and the next paragraph: the commander of the Sichuan Provincial Military District gave it.
In the face of national difficulties, countless fathers sent their sons to join the army, but in such a tragic way, they sent their sons to the battlefield, which is the only case in Sichuan, and there is no one in the whole country.
In this way, Wang Jiantang carried the "flag of dead characters" and honored his father's "handwriting" into the anti-Japanese battlefield.
In 1940, Wang Jiantang had been promoted to platoon commander, and he was ordered to lead the whole platoon into the county seat of Chaling county in Hunan Province in the dark of night, and successfully attacked a squadron of Japanese troops stationed in the county seat. The Japanese army quickly sent reinforcements to counterattack and take the city, so the regimental headquarters sent an additional company to support, and unified it under the command of Wang Jiantang.
The two sides fought fiercely for a day and night, and in the end, only two people of Wang Jiantang's troops were wounded, and the Japanese army suffered more than 100 casualties, and Wang Jiantang's troops were completely victorious. In view of Wang Jiantang's tenacious wit and good command, Wang Jiantang was awarded a First Class Medal.
Wang Jiantang, who always carried the "Death Flag" in his arms, seemed to have the protection of the gods, and in the frequent battles with the Japanese army, Wang Jiantang encountered danger twice, but in the end, he was fierce and lucky to rub shoulders with the god of death.
The first time he was in distress, Wang Jiantang was the deputy of the company, and one day, when lianli was paid, there was a broken silver dollar left, and the officers and soldiers did not want it, so Wang Jiantang left it on his own. He slipped it in his coat pocket and forgot about it after a long time.
Another battle began, Wang Jiantang was suddenly shot when he was charging with his troops, he felt a huge pain on the right side of his lower abdomen, and his first reaction was: This is over, it will definitely be dead.
However, stubbornly, he still insisted on rushing forward, until his company occupied the position, and he collapsed on the ground...
Wang Jiantang felt at this time that the injured part was no longer oozing blood, he looked down, the lower right pocket of the jacket was hit by a bullet hole, it was estimated that the bullet passed through from here, and finally hit himself.
Wang Jiantang called the medical soldier and undressed only to find that the bullet had pierced his cotton clothes and underwear, but was blocked by the broken silver dollar in his pocket, and the powerful impact of the bullet made the surface of the silver dollar dent and deformed, and it also sunk in the superficial surface of the skin.
Wang Jiantang was secretly glad that thanks to the broken silver dollar that blocked the bullet. At the same time, he also remembered the "dead word flag", was it...
Soon after, Wang Jiantang was promoted to company commander, and a group of Japanese troops suddenly attacked, and the regimental headquarters ordered Wang Jiantang to block the Japanese Kou, and the position of the blockade was set up on a saddle-shaped ridge through which the Japanese army had to pass.
According to intelligence analysis, the Japanese army was far away from the preset blocking position, so Wang Jiantang had plenty of time to rush to the ambush site.
When the sun was scorching, the heat was unbearable, Wang Jiantang they were sweating profusely, seeing that they were about to reach their destination, Wang Jiantang thought in his heart, the Japanese army estimated that it would not arrive for a while and a half, so that everyone could rest, take a breath and then prepare to meet the enemy.
The troops finally reached the mountain recess, and Wang Jiantang led the team all the way to the ridge. His front foot had just stepped on the ridge, and three Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and both sides were startled by each other, but the Japanese army reacted before Wang Jiantang, and three guns with bayonets stabbed at Wang Jiantang at the same time.
Wang Jiantang also reacted, and he subconsciously shouted, "Devil! He reached for his gun, but did not expect to dodge the devil's bayonet.
At the moment of this thousand gunshots, the machine gunner who was immediately behind Wang Jiantang was in a hurry, and flew up with a "sweeping leg" on his left foot to sweep towards Wang Jiantang, and Wang Jiantang immediately fell to the ground to the left.
In this way, the two Japanese bayonets were hollowed out, but they still did not avoid the third Japanese bayonet, which happened to deviate from the heart and stabbed into Wang Jiantang's right rib.
As soon as Wang Jiantang fell to the ground, the three devils were completely exposed to the muzzle of the machine gunner, and he fiercely grabbed the board machine, and the three devils were immediately beaten into a sieve.
The troops quickly deployed on the Ma'an Ridge to build simple fortifications, and Wang Jiantang was sent to the field hospital for rescue. But the strange thing is that except for the three ghosts that have been eliminated, the troops have been guarding for a day and a night, but they have not seen a single ghost.
It turned out that the three devils were the "sharp soldiers" of the Japanese army, they and Wang Jiantang climbed up from both sides of the ridge, almost synchronously climbed the ridge, the follow-up troops of the Japanese army heard the gunshots, knew that the Ma'an Ridge had been occupied by the other side, and the original attack plan was hopelessly realized, so they withdrew.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Jiantang returned to his hometown alive, and he regretted to tell his father that the "dead flag" that was stained with blood and written with his father's "handwriting" was lost on the battlefield.
Wang Juntang vaguely remembered that the "Death Flag" had always been treasured in his military bag shoulder, and after being injured in ma'anshan, he was sent to the field rescue team in a groggy way, and when he woke up after the operation, the satchel that never left his body was gone.
After Wang Jiantang was disarmed and returned to the field, he still remembered the "dead character flag" with his father's "handwriting", and in the 1980s, Wang Jiantang relied on his memory to find someone to copy a "dead word flag".
Today, this "dead character flag" is treasured in the Jianchuan Museum, accepting the tribute and admiration of future generations, and the story behind her will be praised and remembered by future generations as the pride of Sichuan people.
