The first knife of the anti-Japanese Nanyang: killed 10 Japanese soldiers in one go, and sacrificed heroically to save the apprentices
In March 1945, the Wanping guerrillas in Nanyang, Henan Province, ambushed a Japanese army. Led by Xu Zihe, the leader of the guerrilla group, he was determined to eliminate this Japanese squad as much as possible. At ten o'clock in the morning, the enemy had just come to the bottom of the hillside, and Xu Zihe asked the guerrillas to prepare for battle. The enemy had heavy fire weapons, but Xu Zihe did not panic. At the sound of an order, hundreds of guerrillas rushed down with large knives. We became entangled with the enemy, and the two sides fought a white-knife war.
Xu Zihe's grandfather was once a Wu Zhuangyuan of the Qing government, and his sword skills were handed down from his ancestors. Xu Zihe was tall, his arms were thick and long, and the tiger and tiger style of his large sword wielding was not much worse than Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms period. Xu Zihe was brave and fearless, he led the charge, and completed the battle in just two hours. In this battle, Xu Zihe killed 10 Japanese devils in a row and grabbed a large number of military supplies.
In the Nanyang area of Henan, Xu Zihe's name has long been thunderous. The people of Nanyang affectionately call him "the first knife in Nanyang", and the way he walks on the top of the field with a large knife on his back is always difficult to forget. Xu Zihe was not afraid of fighting, and he taught the ancestral sword techniques to the guerrillas one by one. Everyone practiced diligently, which gave them a strong fighting force. It is worth mentioning that Xu Zihe also improved the Chinese big knife. Our big knife is too bulky, which makes it not have much advantage when facing the enemy. After consulting with the blacksmith, Xu Zihe extended the length of the large knife to save the width.
After Xu Zihe's optimization, the level of the Wanping guerrilla's big knife was more exquisite. The Japanese army did not dare to fight with Xu Zi and a group of people easily. For Xu Zihe, he felt that his ancestral sword technique could be used on the anti-Japanese front, which made him very satisfied. In July 1945, Xu Zihe once again encountered the Japanese army head-on. The battle was extremely fierce, and the enemy's strength was several times greater than ours. The Wanping guerrillas were not afraid, and the fighters rushed up without hesitation with their large knives in their hands. In the fight, Xu Zihe, in order to save his apprentice, unfortunately, was shot and fell to the ground. After the battle, the people of Nanyang were extremely sad. Xu Zihe spent his whole life on the cause of the War of Resistance, and the government commended him.
Conclusion: Xu Zihe is only a folk knifeman, but his exquisite knife skills and loyalty are admirable. Xu Zihe founded the Wanping guerrillas, an anti-Japanese force that brought confidence to the people of Nanyang. The Japanese army ravaged Henan for many years, and they did not pay attention to the Kuomintang soldiers at all. The appearance of Xu Zihe made the Japanese people awe-inspired. Although Xu Zihe died on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, he will always live in the hearts of the people of Nanyang. His legendary experience of the War of Resistance is still remembered.
