Introduction: During the War of Resistance Against Japan, those ordinary people silently dedicated
In 1941, the Japanese army carried out a major sweep of the Yimeng Mountains, during the battle, a small Eighth Route Army soldier was seriously wounded and broke away from the large army, and under the pursuit of the Japanese army, the small Eighth Route Army soldiers fled to a cemetery and passed out.
I don't know how long later, the little warrior felt his chapped lips moistened, the water was extremely sweet, he opened his eyes with all his strength, only to find that he was snuggling in the arms of a peasant woman, this unknown peasant woman was feeding him with her own milk, and the person who saved the little warrior with her own milk was Ming Deying.
In 1911, Ming Deying was born in a poor family in Mamuchi Township, Yinan County, Shandong Province, in that era of lack of clothing and food, even if Ming Deying's parents did their best for the family's old and young rations, they still had to live the daily life of eating chaff and throat vegetables, because of lack of money, the two-year-old Ming Deying developed a high fever and could not get effective treatment
Ten days later, Ming Deying had a fever, but fell ill with a lifelong inability to speak, and married Li Kaitian of Yokogawa Village in his 20s. Li Kaitian is also a poor man, after marriage they have no way to survive, the enthusiastic father and fellow villagers helped to build a bluestone wall, dark yellow thatched hut tuan scoop house on the side of the cemetery outside the village, and the two of them lived on the land next to the grave.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yimeng Mountain became the core area of the Shandong War of Resistance, and the Japanese army dispatched a large number of troops to carry out large-scale encirclement and suppression in this area every year, and carried out burning and looting.
One day in the winter of 1941, the Japanese army dispatched more than 50,000 people to sweep the Yimeng Mountains and surround the Shandong Column Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Mamuchi, Yinan, and two regiments of the 1st Brigade of the Mountain Column quickly entered the battle and broke through.
The battle lasted until the next morning, a small soldier broke out and rushed to the outside of Yokogawa Village, two Japanese soldiers found out and chased after each other, the small soldiers hurried to the cemetery of Mingdeying, the two Japanese soldiers also followed, the small soldiers relied on the tombstone as a base, and played hide-and-seek with the enemy, during which the Japanese army fired many shots, the small soldiers could not dodge, two wounds on the body, and had to run north again.
At this time, Mingdeying was sitting in front of her own tuanlou house, taking care of several children who were still learning to speak in her teeth, she was deaf and could not hear the gunshots in the cemetery, the little warrior had just run out of the cemetery, and hurried to her, Mingdeying saw that she was stunned and rushed to meet her.
When the little warrior saw that he could not speak, he drew a hand and told him that there were Japanese soldiers chasing him in the cemetery, and Matilda knew this, but still resolutely pulled the little soldier back to her regimental house and pushed it to the side of the bed, the little soldier was afraid of dragging him down, and did not want to hide in bed.
Ming Deying knew that it was not too late, and pressed the little soldier to the bed with great force, ripped open the torn mattress by the side of the bed, and covered the little soldier with his head and feet, and the two Japanese soldiers did not find the little soldier in the cemetery, so they came to the front of the Mingde Ying Regiment's lady house.
Ming Deying's regimental house is relatively low, standing at the gate can see inside, the little soldier is short, hiding under the mattress can not see any abnormal situation, the two Japanese probes a look, did not suspect what is hidden under the broken mattress, they saw that Ming Deying could not speak, they made a gesture to ask a wounded little soldier is not, this time Ming Deying's hanging heart was put down, she casually gestured to the west, the Japanese soldier was led away, this little soldier escaped a disaster.
MingDeying hurried back to the house to tear open the mattress, frightened and stunned, this little soldier had time to bandage the wound in the future, the wound was bleeding too much, he had fainted, his face was as white as paper, his lips were peeled, his breathing was not smooth, he was dying, the situation was urgent, and it was too late to cook to replenish his strength.
Mingdeying immediately decided, poured milk on the little warrior's mouth, the sweet milk gradually moisturized the little warrior's chapped lips, and seeing that the little warrior gradually woke up, Ming Deying smiled.
In order to protect the little warrior, Ming Deying and her husband discussed and hid the little warrior in an empty grave in the cemetery, covered with fine grass on the top, and plugged the grave with firewood grass outside, And Ming Deying went in and out, suturing the wound for him, and delivering food and water.
After 12 days, the little soldier was healed under the care of Ming Deying and his wife, and it was time for the little soldier to leave, and he wanted to return to the anti-Japanese front.
When he left Mingdeying and his wife, the little warrior walking on the road burst into tears and kept looking back, looking back, and looking back again.
At the beginning of 1943, the Japanese army, with the close cooperation of the air force, carried out a sweep of the Yimeng Mountain base area.
Zhuang Xinmin, a 13-year-old caretaker of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army, and his comrades-in-arms rescued the wounded while covering the breakthrough and transfer of the wounded and sick during the anti-sweeping operation. In order to reduce casualties, the superiors decided to let the younger soldiers of the Eighth Route Army change into civilian attire.
During the night transfer, Zhuang Xinmin was scattered and left behind, and together with many people who had taken refuge, he was caught by the Japanese Kou, and among these people was Mingdeying's husband Li Kaitian, who saw that Zhuang Xinmin was not very old and injured, so he was called a father and son, and usually took good care of him.
The two were wrapped up by the Japanese Kou, did about a month of coolie, in Tai'an, Shandong was released to return to their hometown, the long journey of the weak Zhuang Xinmin wound suppuration, high fever does not go away, Li Kaitian carried him across the river, over the mountains and mountains back to his home, Mingde Ying saw her husband thousands of miles back, but also brought a small warrior, the heart is overjoyed, as if he many years ago went away from the children who flew home.
In order to avoid arousing the vigilance of the enemy, the couple successively hid Zhuang Xinmin near their hut and in the ravine outside the cave village, and under the careful care of the two, Zhuang Xinmin gradually pulled back from the line of life and death.
After recuperating from his injuries, Zhuang Xinmin was ready to leave, Ming Deying borrowed a few sweet potatoes from the village, cooked them for him to eat on the road, and the two sons took Zhuang Xinmin's hand and sent them to the village entrance, Ming Deying made a gesture with tears in his eyes, so that Zhuang Xinmin could not find the troops and returned. Zhuang Xinmin's heart fluctuated, and there were thousands of words that did not know where to start, only one sentence: "Father, mother, I will come back to see you." ”
12 years later, Zhuang Xinmin worked with the army in Shanghai, at this time Zhuang Xinmin was already a department and bureau level cadre, but he could not let go of the life-saving grace of decades ago.
With the help of the local post office, after many twists and turns, they finally got in touch with the Ming Deying family, and since then, they have exchanged letters and poured out their thoughts.
In 1956, Zhuang Xinmin sent a letter inviting Li Kaitian and his wife to Shanghai for more than half a month to reunite, and for many years, the county allocated funds, and the villagers and Zhuang Xinmin helped Ming Deying build four brick houses and two west houses, all of which were built with red bricks, and also built walls and installed green paint iron doors.
The walls of Ming Deying's room are filled with plaques and pennants sent by the army, schools, and institutions, and one of them reads "Merit lasts forever, hero red sister-in-law."
