In the history of our country, we have experienced more than a hundred wars of all sizes, and finally New China was tenaciously established. There are countless heroes who can sing and cry, and many heroes are familiar to us, but some of them are forgotten for some historical reasons, and the veteran Hao Zhiquan is a forgotten hero.
Hao Zhiquan lived in the war years, and grew up in poverty because of the large number of brothers and sisters in his family, and lived a life fretting about food every day. At that time, many people joined the ranks of the War of Resistance, and Hao Zhiquan also wanted to join the army under the influence of the people around him, but because he was too young to accept the troops, Hao Zhiquan joined the ranks of Xi Wu to strengthen his body, hoping to one day join the glorious military ranks.
At the age of fourteen, Hao Zhiquan finally reached the right age to join the army. So he couldn't wait to come to the registration office to sign up for the army, because he had listened to the people around him tell the story of the War of Resistance since he was a child, so his dream was also to be able to make a career in the army, because of his body coordination and brain, Hao Zhiquan was assigned to the 129th Division by the army and officially became a glorious Eighth Route Army.
In the military, he always demanded himself with strict standards. He carefully completed the tasks assigned by his superiors until Hao Zhiquan's troops were reorganized after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and although he left the original unit, Hao Zhiquan understood a truth: "The soldiers of the iron battalion and the flowing water", so Hao Zhiquan came to another unit to continue his military career.
Later, the Kuomintang troops under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek openly tore up the Double Tenth Agreement, and a fierce war of liberation began. Hao Zhiquan's identity was changed from an Eighth Route Army to the People's Liberation Army, and at this time Hao Zhiquan did not understand the significance of the war, and listened to the squad leader say that Chairman Mao was negotiating in Chongqing, and the more fiercely the rear army fought, the more confident Chairman Mao would be at the negotiating table.
Hao Zhiquan also came to the battlefield of Taiyuan, Shanxi, after tossing and turning, and an important battle took place in Shanxi, which was the first battle between the Kuomintang and the Communists, and Hao Zhiquan was also a member of the war. In one operation, Hao Zhiquan's unit wanted to attack the enemy, but the enemy's walls were too high and needed to climb over the walls to carry out blasting work on the opposite side.
The superiors sent Hao Zhiquan's group to carry out this task. After Hao Zhiquan climbed over the city wall, he did not find the enemy army, but several Japanese soldiers came in front of him, which surprised Hao Zhiquan, how can there be Japanese soldiers after the Anti-Japanese War has been won, so the two sides launched a fierce attack.
When Hao Zhiquan was young, he often listened to the elders around him talk about the hateful crimes of the Japanese in China, and he had a hatred for the Japanese in his bones. So Hao Zhiquan and others used all their strength to fight against the Japanese, but the Japanese had advanced weapons and equipment, and it was a fierce force to defeat the Japanese.
Hao Zhiquan and others fought with the Japanese like crazy, and after a struggle, the Japanese soldiers were completely annihilated by Hao Zhiquan and others, but at the same time, we also suffered casualties, and Hao Zhiquan also caused leg injuries in this battle, which also left sequelae in the future. After the investigation, Hao Zhiquan and others learned the truth. It turned out that after the Japanese withdrew from China at that time, Yan Xishan expected that a civil war would break out in China, so Yan Xishan hired many Japanese soldiers by Yan Xishan in order to strengthen his own strength.
Later, When Hao Zhiquan reached the age of retirement, he reluctantly returned to his hometown with loyalty to the army and began a self-sufficient life. Because after the army retired from the army, Hao Zhiquan put the archives in the county human resources and social security bureau for preservation, but a merciless fire engulfed the county human resources and social security bureau, and many archives were burned, so it is impossible to prove that Hao Zhiquan was once a soldier of the Anti-Japanese War.
He once said to people, "I just want to prove that I am a veteran, I have fought, as for the treatment of the problem or not it does not matter", the nearly 90-year-old Hao Zhiquan also went to the relevant departments many times because of this matter, but because of the lack of files and lack of evidence, there was no result in the end.
Later, after the local government learned of Hao Zhiquan's deeds, he invited him to the county museum to explain the experience of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression that year, Hao Zhiquan saw one of the photos and pointed to the photos and said, "This is me", Hao Zhiquan told everyone present about the origin of each photo, and everyone present was moved.
During the War of Resistance, all materials and archives were done by hand. Like Hao Zhiquan, it is not an isolated case of archives, but we cannot deny the veterans' experience of the War of Resistance because the archives are lost, and hope that all veterans can enjoy the treatment they deserve, and the spirit of veterans will always inspire future generations.
Conclusion: We live in a stable and peaceful era today. Our happy life today is bought by proletarian revolutionaries like Hao Zhiquan with their blood and even their lives, and we must cherish today's hard-won happy life and carry forward their revolutionary spirit.
