During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Kuomintang and the Communists cooperated in the anti-Japanese resistance and eventually defeated and surrendered the Japanese army. In the 8 years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, thousands of compatriots died in this war, but fortunately they did not sacrifice in vain. At that time, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were indeed relatively backward in military equipment. There was no way to compare with the various high-level equipment of the Japanese army, and at that time, many Chinese people were traitors in order to survive, killing many compatriots and anti-Japanese fighters and generals.
There was a Communist anti-Japanese general who was killed by the traitors, and he who had originally made many military achievements was surrounded by the Japanese army because he was betrayed by the traitors in a fierce battle. In order to take into account the overall situation, this anti-Japanese general let his subordinates break through, and he came to break the rear. Finally, after seeing his subordinates successfully break through and go away, he knew that he could not escape. So he fired a grenade and died with the Japanese army that wanted to capture him alive, and this anti-Japanese general was Kong Qingtong.
Kong Qingtong, born in 1912, is a native of Guangshan, Henan. He knew as a teenager that the country was in danger, so he abandoned his pen and joined the Peasant Red Guards at the age of 15. The Peasant Red Guards were the units of the Peasants' Association. It was an underground COMMUNIST Party organization in Guangshan County in the spring of 1927.
A year after becoming a member of the Peasants' Red Guards, Kong Qingtong, at the age of 16, successfully joined the Chinese Communist Party. Previously, the Peasant Red Guards in which Kong Qingtong joined were later reorganized into the 25th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and Kong Qingtong was a commander of the 25th Army. Duty is to sound the military trumpet, which is a very important task. Later, Kong Qingtong was promoted to the commander of the Red Army and became the youngest commander.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Kong Qingtong went to the area around Jidong to establish the first anti-Japanese armed contingent in Eastern Hebei, and he served as the leader of the first detachment in Eastern Hebei. Later, Kong Qingtong expanded the first detachment of Jidong into the fourth general brigade, he was the commander of the brigade, and led the soldiers to attack the Japanese puppet army of Fengrun and Zunhua.
At that time, the Japanese puppet army in Zunhua wanted to occupy the iron factory, and Kong Qingtong got the news and preemptively went to the iron factory to prepare for battle. In a two-hour fierce battle, because Kong Qingtong commanded properly, he finally crushed all the Japanese puppet troops. Not only that, Kong Qingtong also took Xingcheng on the second day and quelled the rebellion in the militia. Kong Qingtong, who has made many military achievements, makes everyone admire, and the local people are even more grateful to him. There were also many men who were willing to join Kong Qingtong's team, and the soldiers of the Fourth General Brigade suddenly reached more than 4,000 people. Therefore, it was reorganized into the first echelon of the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army in eastern Hebei, and Kong Qingtong was still their captain.
After that, Kong Qingtong also studied at the Party School of the Jin-Cha-Ji Branch of the CPC Central Committee and was promoted to the post of acting commander. Moreover, Kong Qingtong, who insisted on guerrilla warfare on the plains in Baoding and was not accustomed to fighting guerrilla warfare on the plains at the beginning, was soon able to maneuver with ease with the help of his old comrades. In the subsequent guerrilla warfare on the plains, he repeatedly repelled the Japanese army with road warfare and mine warfare.
In 1942, Kong Qingtong went to Hejian County to meet with the fighters to discuss the next battle plan and insisted on fighting guerrilla warfare on the plains to the end. The meeting went very smoothly, but no one expected that there were local traitors who sent a message to the Japanese army to know the base area where Kong Qingtong was located. Before dawn, gunfire suddenly broke out outside the village where Kong Qingtong lived, and the Japanese army surrounded the village.
Kong Qingtong knew that he was surrounded, so he immediately commanded the fighters to fight the Japanese army. No matter how many people the Japanese army came and how many layers of encirclement were used, Kong Qingtong was not afraid. He commanded everyone to strafe the enemy, but many soldiers were wounded and killed. Kong Qingtong knew that it would be difficult to get out this time, so he let his subordinates lead his subordinates to break through to the north. Many warriors were reluctant to leave Kong Qingtong alone, but Kong Qingtong very seriously let them leave and cut off the queen themselves.
When he watched the warriors go away, he put his mind at ease. Then desperately strafing the enemy, when the ammunition ran out, Kong Qingtong picked up the grenade. The Japanese wanted to capture Kong Qingtong alive, so he deliberately lay down. When the Japanese army entered, Kong Qingtong pulled a grenade and died with the enemy. He was 30 years old.
Later, when some warriors searched for his body, they found confetti around Kong Qingtong. Only then did he understand that it was Kong Qingtong who, before dying, endured the pain and burned all the documents around him.
