One day in December 2014,
Sun Xiuqing, a ninety-year-old man who lives in Nanjing's Gaochun District, took advantage of his daughter-in-law's noon cooking time to walk out of the room and rushed into the small river ditch at the mouth of the village. When the villagers rescued him, their lips were frozen purple, and their mouths kept shouting: "When I receive the order of Commander Xue Yue, I must immediately rush to the front line to resist japan." ”
The old man explained to passers-by: "The pond is the key, once it is lost, Changsha will be finished!" Then he said to his family, "People are in the position, two dogs, get my big knife!" ”
He claimed to have been ordered by his superior, General Xue Yue, to rush to Changsha to participate in the battle. He is the captain of the death squad, and dangerous and important places must be guarded by him.
In 1945, he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, and at that time he changed his name to Sun Jianxun. He also remembered that he had a service soldier named "Liu Er dog", a native of Sichuan, and his "education chief" in Huangpu was named Guan Linzheng. Every time a reporter or someone from a relevant department came to visit him, he always said so.
When the names of Xue Yue and Guan Linzheng were mentioned, he would also stand up and salute. Every time he finished speaking, he would provoke laughter from the villagers. They said he had Alzheimer's, which had been going on for years.
Sun Xiuqing's son said,
He never mentioned the past to his family when he was good, and later "confused" us to know.
However, his documents and materials had long been destroyed in the war. Fortunately, later with the help of netizens and reporters, his classmates in the Whampoa period found him and confirmed his true identity.
It turned out that he was really an old hero of the anti-Japanese resistance!
First, the hot-blooded teenager casts a pen from Rong
Sun Jianxun' real name is Sun Xiuqing, born in 1921. When the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out, he went to school in Nanjing.
After the fall of Nanjing, he returned to his hometown of Gaochun, and with the encouragement of his mother and relatives, resolutely decided to join the army to resist Japan. Two years later, Sun Xiuqing was promoted to company commander because of his bravery and tenacity in battle.
The soldiers gave him a nickname, "Sun Bold.".
Sun Bold's unit, subordinate to the 60th Division of the Kuomintang 37th Army, participated in the First and Second Battles of Changsha, changde, and Changheng.
At that time, the commander of the Kuomintang Ninth Theater was called Xue Yue, so Sun Jianxun kept chanting this name later.
In battle,
Sun Xiuqing's troops were responsible for the defense of the south bank of the New Wall. The superiors issued an order to hold on to the ground, and the people were in the position, and the people died in the position.
Although the army replenished them with ammunition, however
Bullets were often shot out, so they always carried a large knife with them.
On the day of the mission, it was raining heavily, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers quietly crossed the river to sneak in, shooting and killing more than a dozen of Sun Xiuqing's comrades-in-arms. At that time, Sun Xiuqing asked the service soldier "Er Dog" to take his large knife, fight with the Japanese, and finally told them to pay for their lives. In the evening, the Japanese tried to cross the river to sneak in, but they were repelled by Sun Xiuqing and the artillery fire of the position.
Defending for four days, they repelled a total of eight Japanese attacks on the banks of the New Wall. The Japanese sent military planes to bomb the banks of the New Wall, and Sun Xiuqing's teammates suffered heavy casualties, but they kept gritting their teeth and insisting on not retreating.
"This river must be defended, and once it retreats, Changsha will be finished!" So
Until the age of 93, Sun Xiuqing, who has been "old and confused", still worries about guarding the river.
That time, they completed the task beautifully. Eventually, however, the Japanese began to attack them with chemical weapons. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, the division commander sent people to inform them of their retreat.
Second, the "old fool" also remembers to beat the Japanese
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Sun Xiuqing was recommended to enter the Whampoa Military Academy for further study because of his outstanding combat performance.
At that time, his instructor at the military academy was Guan Linzheng, who had been the commander of the Kuomintang 52nd Army.
As soon as Sun Xiuqing entered the school, he changed his name to Sun Jianxun. Because he was determined to defend his family and defend the country and establish meritorious service.
However, he did not expect that a civil war would soon break out. Later, everyone knows what happened, and the Kuomintang was defeated and fled.
Sun Jianxun stayed in his hometown, and after his liberation, he was no longer willing to mention that past to anyone. Just watch TV and read the newspaper a lot. Later, he collected a large number of research on the Whampoa Military Academy's "Magazine",
Pay attention to the news of his old classmates.
In reality, there are many ordinary elderly people who are also concerned about modern history and military history, so no one feels that Sun Jianxun's behavior is abnormal. Until more than a decade ago, his family and villagers gradually felt that he was wrong.
If the weather forecast is rainy, Sun Jianxun will put the snakeskin bag filled with grain in his home in advance on the open space in the courtyard. Because he always remembered that year, the Japanese devils took advantage of the rain to sneak in and killed more than a dozen of his brothers. So to make a fortification in advance, to defend the south bank of the New Wall, he wants to fight away the Japanese!
The wind was fierce, thunder and lightning sounded, the torrential rain lasted for an hour, and the fortifications were filled with water. But Sun Jianxun was still creeping around, not moving, and his eyes were always closely watching the front. An hour later, the son returned home, found out about his father's condition, and was so distressed that he coaxed him back to the room.
afterward
The son pasted a piece of paper behind his back with the family's phone number written on it. He took advantage of his son's absence and ran a few kilometers away. On the road, he ran frantically, waving to the car. Pulled down a car and said to the driver: The Japanese are preparing to raid Changsha.
But he can't find the troops now, what should he do?
The driver was stunned to hear what he said, and later found the phone number behind him. The driver contacted his son, who had been embarrassed to say sorry when he came to pick him up. Then he said to Sun Jianxun: Dad, there is no war now, where are the troops?
The old man was very angry and replied: You nonsense! My troops are in Changsha! We've run out of bullets, and I'm going to fight the Japanese with bayonets. As he spoke, he turned a corner and yelled at himself in front of him: All put on their bayonets and prepare for white-knife battle!
The driver turned out to be a demobilized soldier, and as soon as he heard his words, his eyes immediately turned red. So he also gave a military salute to the old man, saying that he admired this old hero of the anti-Japanese resistance in his heart.
For more than eighty years, a teenager in Nanjing who was full of vigor turned into a white-haired demented old man in an instant. In the villagers' malicious laughter, Sun Jianxun staged the "Changsha Defense War" in his heart day after day.
That patriotic belief and the persistence of the soldiers have been transformed into indelible imprints by time. Deeply imprinted in his subconscious.
No matter how many years of vicissitudes have been experienced, they have never changed.
epilogue

They shed their blood for the survival and honor of the nation, leaving many memorable past events, but they were buried because of the passage of time. This time, the deeds of the elderly Sun Jianxun were all excavated by netizens and reporters.
