China and Japan, as neighbors with a lot of water, have had friendly relations for most of their history, but there have also been several large-scale wars. Among them, the main serious war occurred in the modern period, including the Sino-Japanese War and the Japanese invasion of China, of which the war of aggression against China lasted for 14 years and caused great harm to the Chinese people, and this kind of damage may never be healed, and it will always cross Sino-Japanese relations at any time. Today, we will not talk about war, but tell a story related to Nie Shuai during the war of aggression against China, which is full of human brilliance.
When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, the whole nation fought against the enemy
After the Meiji Restoration in 1863, Japan developed rapidly, and as its own strength continued to increase, its heart began to swell, and it began to launch a war of aggression outward. At first, the spearhead of the invasion was aimed at Korea, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and after annexing Korea, it stepped up its invasion of northeast China. After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan invaded and occupied the Taiwan area, and since then it has continued to infiltrate China. After the outbreak of the world economic crisis in 1929, Japan launched a war of aggression in order to divert the domestic crisis.
After invading and occupying the northeast region of our country in 1931, from the time when the War of Resistance Against Japan officially began and after occupying the northeast region, Japan began to infiltrate its forces into north China. On July 7, 1937, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, Japan launched an all-out war of aggression against China, and the national war of resistance also officially began.
After the outbreak of the all-out war of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the troops of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began to march to the front line of the War of Resistance.
The Kuomintang army organized several large-scale battles, including the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Wuhan, and although they achieved certain victories, they were unable to organize the success of the Japanese offensive.
The Communist army waged an effective guerrilla war behind enemy lines, in which it achieved major successes in the Battle of Pingxingguan, which encouraged the all-round national resistance. Since then, the two sides have begun to enter the stage of strategic stalemate. Since then, Japan has stepped up its sweeping of the base areas behind enemy lines. In order to break the enemy's siege of the base areas, the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to launch the Hundred Regiments War, which dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army and encouraged the low resistance mood of the whole nation.
Nie Rongzhen picked up two Japanese children
In the course of the Hundred Regiments War, after a battle, two little Japanese girls were found crying in a fire, and although we hated the Japanese invaders, the children were innocent. In the spirit of humanitarian principles, the fighters saved the two children.
Finally brought back to the Eighth Route Army garrison, handed over to Marshal Nie Rongzhen, the garrison is mostly marching and fighting old masters, will not take care of children at all, looking at the two little girls who are crying wow, Nie Rongzhen can only comfort the two children with a hard scalp, and also found these two children to be a nurse, after drinking milk, it is much quieter, it turned out to be hungry.
At first, these two little girls were very afraid of people, almost hiding in the corner as soon as they saw people, and after spending a long time together, they were no longer afraid of people, and they played with other people.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Nie Rongzhen remembered the murderous Japanese soldiers, who were also Japanese, why the gap was so large.
After all, it was inconvenient to take two little girls during the war, and after careful consideration, they planned to send the two children back to the Japanese, and through a series of channels, the two little girls were sent to the place where the Japanese army was stationed. After the description of one of the little girls, their loved ones were found. The older of them is called Mihoko.
When the two little girls were sent away, Nie Rongzhen was very reluctant, and the two little girls were crying and sad, but returning to their relatives was the best choice for them.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, due to changes in international relations, the relations between China and Japan began to deteriorate, and Nie Rongzhen lost contact with the two little girls.
Years later, the feelings are still there
Fast forward to the 1980s, the world has changed dramatically, and diplomatic relations between China and Japan have been normalized. The Mihoko sisters in Japan have been thinking about the savior of the year, but because they are too young and have been too long, they have forgotten the name of the savior. They thought it might become a permanent regret. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better in 1980, when the People's Daily published an article titled "Japanese Girl, Where Are You", which was later published by the Japanese media. Thanks to the efforts of both sides, the two sides were reunited again in the Great Hall of the People decades later.
One day in July 1980, in the Great Hall of the People, the Mei Suizi family had come here early to wait, when Nie Rongzhen appeared, Mei Suizi was stunned for a moment, did not know how to be good, actually threw herself on the ground with a thud, nie Rongzhen quickly lifted up the tearful Mei Suizi.
This beauty is what they leave to each other, and it is the purest feeling between people.
War is cruel, but in brutal war, we see beautiful humanity.
