The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a great just war in which the whole people of the Chinese nation participated, and "the land is divided into north and south, young and old, no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility to defend the territory and resist the war, and they should all have the determination to sacrifice everything." ”
The anti-Japanese hero introduced today is a special hero who is only 1.2 meters tall, named Li Anfu.
Li Anfu was born in 1925 in Leling, Dezhou, Shandong Province, to a military family, the son of Li Jinlin, an officer in the Northwest Army, who had followed General Ji Hongchang in his heroic resistance against Japan.
Li Anfu became ill at an early age and his body stopped developing, so his height and appearance remained permanently in the childhood stage, and his height was only 1.2 meters. However, Li Anfu was not discouraged, still persevered in learning cultural knowledge, and practiced martial arts with his brothers, so although he was short, he was generally not his opponent.
One year, Li Anfu's father was arrested by Chiang Kai-shek for resisting Japan, and thanks to The Rescue of Song Zheyuan, he was released from prison, but he could not survive in the old army, so he had to return to his hometown.
When Li Anfu saw that his father was always called a "red bandit" by some unscrupulous people, he asked his father: "Why do these people call you a red bandit?" ”
Li Jinlin said: "Because I am a Communist Party, these are the words of the reactionaries who slander the Communist Party." ”
Li Anfu asked again, "What is the Communist Party?" ”
Li Jinlin replied: "The Communist Party is a good man who is bent on living a good life for the poor people in the world, and he is not afraid to lose his head for this. ”
Li Anfu said with great admiration: "Then I will also become a Communist Party!" ”
Li Jinlin was very relieved to see that his son was physically disabled, but he was small and ambitious, and he was very pleased, so he was determined to lead his son to the road of revolution.
When Li Jinlin saw that his son often practiced boxing, he took out two pistols he treasured and taught his son to practice marksmanship.
Li Jinlin's teaching method is very special, first teaching his son to use darts to practice his feel and be the head, and then let him touch the gun after practicing a good dart. However, at the beginning, he was still not allowed to shoot with real bullets, but used "electric light bullets" to simulate shooting, until Li Anfu used electric light bullets to shoot a hundred shots, which took him to the deep mountains and taught him to shoot with live ammunition, and as a result, Li Anfu scored a full score for the first time!
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937, Li Anfu could not wait to sign up for the army to resist Japan and save the country, but because of his short stature, he was repeatedly rejected.
Until 1938, the Eighth Route Army came to Leling, the commander was the famous "doll commander" Xiao Hua, after learning about Li Anfu's situation, he was touched by his sincerity, and immediately agreed to his participation in the Eighth Route Army.
In the summer of 1939, the Kuomintang troops gao Shuxun went to the Leling area to resist the Japanese, Gao Shuxun was Feng Yuxiang's general of the Northwest Army, and also a patriotic general who sincerely resisted Japan, so he often fought with the Japanese.
Once, Gao Shuxun's troops were surrounded by Japanese troops, and they rushed to ask for help from the surrounding Nationalist troops, who knows, but these "friendly troops" stood by and ignored them, and had no choice but to ask the Eighth Route Army for help.
After Xiao Hua received the news, he immediately sent people to rescue him, not only to relieve Gao Shuxun's siege, but also to fight a "counter-killing battle" and defeat the Japanese army.
After the battle, the troops cleaned up the battlefield, Li Anfu also searched around for the remnants of the enemy, suddenly, he heard the sound of the wounded groaning, do not know whether it is the enemy or his own people, at that time, he was only one person, but he was not afraid, followed the sound to see, it turned out to be a wounded Japanese officer, lying on the ground struggling, trying to grab the saber and pistol not far away.
After all, Li Anfu had trained in martial arts, and his movements were agile, he kicked and flew the saber, then quickly picked up the pistol, "snapped" a shot, and killed the Japanese officer.
After Li Anfu joined the Eighth Route Army, he was arranged to be a commander and did not give him a gun, which made him very depressed, so when he captured the pistol of this Japanese officer, Li Anfu was very happy and secretly hid without telling others.
However, the Eighth Route Army had a rule that the captured weapons must be handed over, and soon Li Anfu's secret possession of pistols was known to Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua first severely criticized him, and then asked him why he hid the pistol, and Li Anfu said that he had been practicing the ability to kill the enemy since he was a child, and wanted to fight the Japanese with a real knife and a real gun.
After Xiao Hua listened, he asked Li Anfu to shoot a few shots to see, and it turned out that this boy was actually a sharpshooter with a hundred shots! Xiao Hua was overjoyed, and he had a new idea in his head.
Because Li Anfu was short in stature and if he didn't pay attention, he thought he was a small child, so Xiao Hua arranged for Li Anfu to go deep behind the enemy's back, looking for an opportunity to assassinate Rikou, and officially handed him the pistol.
The first Japanese assassin by Li Anfu was The Japanese gendarmerie captain Ibaraya Goo in the Leling area.
This guy is a typical fascist demon, there are countless anti-Japanese soldiers who died under his butcher's knife, and Li Anfu has long wanted to get rid of him, so he decided to take his first knife!
On that day, Ibarya Goto was drunk and staggering down the street when he was greeted by a "schoolboy" who bowed to him and greeted him in Japanese. Ibaraya Goo was defenseless, and even reached out to touch the head of this "schoolboy", and praised him: "Oh, little devil, your great good!" ”
Unexpectedly, Ibaraya Goo just turned around, and he was shot twice in the back and was killed on the spot!
This "elementary school student" is naturally Li Anfu pretending.
Later, Li Anfu did the same, and successively assassinated seven Japanese officers such as Onoda Mori, Okada Yuji, and Kawashima Tanigawa! For a time, the Japanese people in the Leling area were panicked, afraid of encountering the invincible "primary school student", and even gave Li Anfu a nickname - "Tuxing Sun"!
In his combat career, Li Anfu relied on his wit, bravery, and agility and flexibility to successively award a first-class merit, a third-class merit, a fourth-class merit, and in 1949, as a famous combat hero of Sanye, he was invited to participate in the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, and met Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, which made him unforgettable!
After Li Anfu left his retirement in his later years, he still did not idle, giving speeches to young people everywhere and propagating patriotic ideas, which was loved by countless people.
As you may recall, in 2019, there was a photo that attracted the attention of countless people (above), that is, on June 29, 2019, on the occasion of the 98th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Li Anfu was invited to Tiananmen Square to visit the National Flag Guard, and the scene of his affectionate kissing of the national flag touched countless Chinese people.
In his later years, Li Anfu also spent 6 years writing a memoir called "Revolutionary Memories", recording his ordinary and great life.
Li Anfu was born in 1925, about to be 97 years old, still in good spirits, the sword is not old, here also wish Li Lao Hero health and longevity, always happy!
