In the early morning of October 1944, 22-year-old Feng Yueshou escaped the Japanese attack with the company and moved to a mountain next to Zhejiang Gan Road to rest, he went to relieve his hands outside the camp, saw that the sentries were tired and asleep, he was crouching, he found that in the night, a group of people were climbing up the mountain, more than 100 meters away from him, there were bayonets flashing.
Feng Yueshou, a native of Fohuashan Village, Xichong County, Sichuan Province, was sent by Bao Chang in early 1944 to Zhuangding, and more than 10 people from his hometown were sent to Nan County, Hunan Province, where they entered the military training of the Supplementary Brigade, were incorporated into the 26th Division, served as ammunition hands for heavy machine guns and mortars, and after the end of training, served as heavy machine gun shooters, and went with the troops to Longqu, Zhejiang Province, attacking the ghost patrol, the logistics heavy team, and the ghosts who had fallen behind in "sweeping up" the team.
Earlier, Feng Yueshou and his troops attacked a Japanese stronghold on Zhejiang Gan Road, and when the Japanese army was eating breakfast, he suddenly launched an attack, and the gate of the stronghold was opened by the inside line. Feng Yueshou's heavy machine gun roared, and the ghosts could only shrink in the large and small turrets, and the gun hole was blocked. The commando team approached the turret and placed the explosive package on the wall of the turret from three sides, and the two sides of the turret were destroyed, and the Japanese puppet army was completely annihilated in an hour. The devils quickly mobilized their forces and launched a pursuit of them. Feng Yueshou came to a mountain with the whole company, and Zhu Company Commander said that the Japanese might not be chasing after him tonight, and ordered everyone to go to sleep, and the exhausted officers and soldiers soon fell asleep, and the sentries fell asleep.
In the early hours of the morning, Feng Yueshou went outside the camp to facilitate. By nightfall, he found a crowd of people pressed against the black, climbing up the hill, bayonets flashing, only more than 100 meters away from the company camp. He put on his pants and ran back, shouting as he ran, "The devil is coming... ＂。 Feng Yueshou casually picked up a rifle on the ground and shot in succession in the direction where the Japanese army was coming. Shouts and gunshots awakened comrades. The Japanese devils immediately attacked, and the Japanese shells immediately flew to the top of the mountain without interruption, and the sound of gunfire became more and more intense.
Feng Yueshou's comrades all raised their guns, and the devil's attack became more and more fierce, and he felt that he did not even have a chance to breathe. The enemy swarmed from three directions, Feng Yueshou returned to the heavy machine gun shooter post, the ammunition man was in place, he quickly shot out 10 magazines, and in the darkness, many upward-charging ghosts fell under his machine gun. The machine gun ran out of bullets, the devils rushed up, Zhu Lianchang took the lead in rushing to the devils, he stabbed the devils in front of him, and he was also stabbed in the chest by another devil, and fell down and sacrificed. Feng Yueshou took the rifle of a fallen comrade- and put a bayonet on his gun and rushed into the enemy for hand-to-hand combat. After he stabbed a ghost to death, he also stabbed his left arm, and he knocked the ghost down.
At this time, the brother companies came from all sides to reinforce, and the Japanese troops were afraid of being surrounded, and slowly retreated westward. The hillside was littered with the corpses of soldiers from both sides, and only Feng Yueshou and two comrades in the machine gun company were left, and more than 100 comrades were killed.
Feng Yueshou and two comrades-in-arms were incorporated into 2 battalions and 1 company. The 2nd Battalion was tasked with ambushing the Devil's "sweeping" troops, several companies were ambushed on several nearby hills, and when the enemy swung into the ambush circle, the battle immediately began, and their ambushed machine guns and small cannons roared together, pressing the Japanese army in a small ravine. After rearranging its forces, the enemy occupied several small heights, and then, supported by strong firepower, counterattacked the defensive positions of the 2nd Battalion. The battalion commander ordered Feng Yueshou's machine gun to block the enemy's junction and never let the enemy rush over.
The 1st Company Commander led people from the left wing to rush over, a grenade was thrown at the enemy position, the devils wanted to rush to the rescue, but Feng Yueshou's machine gun was placed there, the devils who came up were knocked down, and the Japanese breakthrough route was blocked. The battalion commander ordered the charge horn to be sounded, the soldiers rushed to the enemy, and Feng Yueshou and his comrades continued to suppress the enemy with firepower and cover the charge of their comrades. They killed more than 20 Japanese devils, captured one devil's heavy machine gun, more than 20 rifles, and 3 pistols, and the rest of the devils broke through and fled.
In June 1944, the Japanese army captured Longyou, Zhejiang Province, and directly attacked Quzhou, launching a fierce attack on our army positions outside Quzhou. The devils first shelled and then the infantry charged. After the intensive artillery fire, Feng Yueshou and his comrades came out of the bullet crater and fired machine guns. His heavy machine gun has 200 rounds of ammunition in a magazine, which can be fired long or spotted. Feng Yueshou mainly hit a single shot, and replaced the magazine when only 2 to 3 bullets were left, so that the devils could not calculate how many bullets were left, so they did not dare to rush out. The most feared thing on the battlefield is the sound of machine guns "da da" and "da da", which shows that the machine gun shooter is a master, and his machine gun is lethal.
Feng Yueshou felt that most of the devils were short, but the Japanese soldiers who were killed were also big, and the devils fought very fiercely and fiercely. After two days of fighting on the outskirts of Quzhou, Feng Yueshou and his comrades withdrew into the city of Quzhou to hold the north gate. After the north gate and the city wall were destroyed by the devil's artillery fire, they engaged in a street battle with the devils. The two sides fought over a house and a laneway. On June 26, under the attack of Japanese aircraft, artillery and tanks, Quzhou City was captured by the Japanese army, and more than 2,000 officers and men of the 26th Division were killed. Major General Takehiko Yokoyama, commander of the Japanese Major General Brigade, was killed.
In 1945, Feng Yueshou and his troops participated in the local counter-offensive operation against Japan in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, recovering some of the Japanese puppet army strongholds and communication lines, and the Japanese puppet army was forced to concentrate in county-level towns and towns. After the surrender of Japan in August 1945, Feng Yueshou followed his troops into the suburbs of Shanghai and participated in the custody and repatriation of Japanese prisoners of war.
In 1946, due to the disarmament of the Kuomintang army, Feng Yueshou was repatriated, and he returned to his hometown of Xichong County to work as a farmer. After the founding of New China, Feng Yueshou married and had children. The 99-year-old Feng Yueshou is in good health and has a clear mind, but he has some hearing problems, which were shocked by the sound of cannons while fighting Japanese devils. In recent years, the Temple of Literature in Xichong County has held special activities from time to time: "Care for the veterans of the War of Resistance, do not forget the heroes and martyrs of the War of Resistance", Feng Yueshou and other five veterans of the War of Resistance will participate in the activities, their average age is over 95 years old.
Supplement: On October 8, 1945, xinhua daily published an editorial saying: "The people of Sichuan have fulfilled their greatest and most important responsibility for the frontal battlefield. Until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the number of conscripts in Sichuan reached more than 325,000; the total number of people serving in the labor force in Sichuan to complete special projects was more than 3 million; grain was one of the main material conditions in the War of Resistance, and the total amount of grain requisitioned, purchased, and borrowed grain supplied by Sichuan was more than 80 million stones... From these brief statistics alone, we can know how much flesh and blood, how much blood and sweat, and how much blood and tears the people of Sichuan have sent to the frontal battlefield! ”
