In 1990, Fang Jun, a Chinese student studying in Japan, went to the outskirts of Tokyo to investigate. Fang Jun has strong patriotic feelings. In Japan, he also wanted to seek evidence of the War of Resistance Against Japan. With the help of overseas Chinese in Japan and his classmates, he found a veteran named Koichi Yamashita. Koichi Yamashita was one of the few surviving Japanese troops invading China. At that time, he was already old and had white hair. Hearing that Fang Jun was from China, Yamashita's eyes suddenly dimmed.
Japanese veteran
Koichi Yamashita has a conscience. During the war years, he was forced to go to China and experienced this history first-hand. At that time, he also made mistakes. After Japan's defeat, some high-ranking war criminals were punished. As an ordinary soldier, Koichi Yamashita was not held accountable. But back in Japan, he was also snubbed by people. Deep in suffering, he felt more and more guilty. Later, he entered a temple and served as the presiding monk.
Yamashita accompanied the ancient Buddha every day, holding a Buddhist bead and reciting the scriptures silently. He wanted to wash away his sins in order to dispel the guilt in his heart. Even so, he could not forget the suffering Chinese people in his mind. Among them, a woman named Fei Hua made him admire. After Fang Jun arrived, he silently retrieved a photo from the box. The photograph has turned yellow and shows a woman with her hands on her shoulders. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were tattered. But the eyes are firm, facing the camera, Fu Hua showed a contemptuous laugh.
What kind of past is this? Fang Jun, an international student, was even more curious. In fact, Fei Hua was the anti-Japanese heroine of Anhui and County. Her brilliant deeds are still sung by the people of her hometown. She was born in 1914 in Gaoyang Village, just outside Liyang Town. The ancestral home of the Cheng family is far away in Shandong, and there was also a "General of Wude" on the ancestors. Later, due to the war, the family moved to Hexian County and settled down. Inheriting the character of his ancestors, Fei Hua has been proud and upright since childhood. Although she is only a daughter, she is strong and brave, and she is highly praised.
In 1931, the September 18 Incident broke out. In the face of the aggressive Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to fight. At his request, 300,000 Northeastern troops withdrew into Guannei. When the news came, the whole country was shocked. The vast number of young students were indignant about the actions of the Nanjing government. The students organized a demonstration. On the streets, they put up propaganda slogans, shout revolutionary slogans and point the finger directly at the reactionary authorities.
Female soldiers cost Hua
At that time, the Kuomintang warlords did not take it seriously at all. They continued to dispatch heavy troops to encircle and suppress our Red Army base areas. At the moment of the great enemy, the reactionaries are only thinking of civil war. This has increasingly provoked the anger of Fa Hua and others. So, Cost Hua stepped forward. She wandered among the students and youth groups, inspiring and influencing a large number of people. During this period, she fell in love with the patriotic young man Liu Zhiyi. Both have the same ambitions and ambitions. In revolutionary work, they supported each other and fought together.
In 1935, a new county magistrate came from Anhui Hexian County, and he was Zhao Yongzhi. Unlike other bureaucrats, Zhao Yongzhi is very courageous. He immediately responded to the people's call and established the Hexian Self-Defense Army. In 1937, the All-out War of Resistance began. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese army quickly occupied Pingjin, and then moved south in a big way. On December 16, Zhao Yongzhi led the Self-Defense Forces to fight back bravely, and he also won the praise of the Hua couple. Subsequently, the two joined the anti-Japanese team.
Hexian was in northern Anhui, and after the Japanese army captured Hebei and Henan, they began to act. The Huas suggested digging trenches outside the city to draw as much battle into the periphery as much as possible. You know, there are tens of thousands of people in hexian county, and some precious ancient buildings are priceless treasures. Along the mouth of the Golden River, and the county militia built fortifications. However, when the Japanese arrived, they could not fight it at all. Whether it is weapons and equipment, or the quality of personnel, how can the Chinese militia be the opponent of the Japanese army?
On May 11, 1938, Japanese artillery landed at the mouth of the Jinhe River, and they soon reached the east gate of Hexian County. At this time, a Japanese part of the Kuomintang army came to the rescue. On the battlefield, Liu Zhiyi was blown unconscious by enemy shells. After waking up, he identified himself and immediately joined the Japanese film. The Japanese had heavy firepower, and we could not confront them head-on. After some deliberation, the troops decided to start a street battle. After leading the enemy into various narrow alleys, Liu Zhiyi and others actively counterattacked. Under the advantage of the terrain, we also occupy a little initiative.
Heroic deeds exposed
Li Benyi's brigade was concentrated at Xiaoximen and Shikou. On the Eastern Front, we don't have much power anymore. At the critical moment, Liu Zhiyi rushed out. With a small number of death squads, he insisted on not fighting the enemy for ten miles. Unfortunately, because he was outnumbered, he was unfortunately shot and killed. Upon hearing the news, Hua qiang held back tears and continued to fight with his comrades. During the battle, the Japanese also paid nearly 200 casualties.
At the mouth of the city, the enemy could not attack for a long time, and they were completely enraged. Subsequently, the Japanese army arrived with heavy troops, and the Japanese part was in danger. There was no way, after losing a battalion, they chose to withdraw from the battle. Cost Hua was reluctant to leave. She chose to stay behind. Her husband is dead, and she has no desire to live. In her mind, she only thought about how to kill more enemies. By dark, the city was full of Japanese troops. In this way, she was captured.
Fei Hua was the commander of the final battle. She would rather die than compromise. The 24-year-old looked at the enemy coldly and did not say a word. In the days that followed, she was severely tortured and tortured inhumanely. Even so, she always had a sneering smile on her face. In this smile, the Japanese see their own doom. Perhaps, they were really afraid. Under the orders of a Japanese daisa, Kurohwa was executed.
Before the execution, Japanese reporters wanted to take a group of photos. Facing the camera, Fei Hua still sneered. She put her hands on her shoulders, without the slightest fear. She seemed to see the end of the Japanese. This is the self-confidence of Chinese, and this is the backbone of Chinese women. Cost Hua impressed Koichi Yamashita. Later, he also asked for a photo. After the defeat of the Japanese army in 1945, Koichi Yamashita was repatriated. In his pocket, he kept the photograph. 52 years later, on his deathbed, he gave the photo to Fang Jun, and The story of Fa Hua once again spread around the world.
epilogue
Chinese women are great. They not only supported half the sky, but also made great contributions to the nation. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were many female soldiers like Fa Hua. They are thin on the outside and strong on the inside. Even if they are imprisoned, their ambitions do not change, and they regard death as a homecoming.
Today, this heroic spirit is still shocking. There is no need to say much, as long as you see the cost of the photo, the perseverance and bravery will come to you.
