Veteran Li Anfu is a particularly admirable anti-war hero, although his height is only 1 meter 2, he assassinated 7 senior Japanese officers.
The military merit medal awarded to him by the state can be hung on his chest, how did he do it? Li Anfu was born into a relatively ordinary family, and his father, Li Jinlin, joined the organization a long time ago and is a very honorable party member.
Li Jinlin had been working underground in the Shandong region for a long time, and his actions had a great impact on his son Li Anfu.
When Li Anfu was very young, he knew that the Japanese invaders were all bad people, and every day when he came home from school, he would run to the courtyard to practice boxing and foot kung fu.
One day, Li Jinlin came home and saw Li Anfu practicing boxing, and he was very curious, so he took the opportunity to ask: When you are young, how do you think of practicing boxing?
Li Anfu replied directly, "In the future, I will become a soldier and fight the Japanese devils." Li Anfu's answer made his father Li Jinlin particularly pleased, and he said to Li Anfu very happily, What can you do with this little fist? Japanese people have guns, and you have to learn marksmanship to hit them.
At that time, Li Anfu was very young and not suitable for practicing with a real gun, so Li Jinlin prepared a wooden board with a circle for him to practice precision with darts.
Since then, Li Anfu has been practicing darts for a long time every day, and he is sweating all day at a young age. Sometimes I practiced harder, and I couldn't even move my chopsticks when I ate.
Even so, he still did not cry out bitterly, but gritted his teeth and persevered. After practicing for a while, Li Anfu's ability improved by leaps and bounds, even if it was 5 meters apart, he could easily hit the bullseye.
His father saw that he was working so hard, and he found a homemade earthen gun for him and personally taught him to practice marksmanship. Under the guidance of his father, Li Anfu began to hunt around with a homemade earthen gun, and in just one and a half years, his marksmanship was already magical, and he could shoot a very active sparrow at a distance of tens of meters.
His excellent performance surprised his father Li Jinglin. However, Li Jinlin did not plan to let Li Anfu join the army directly. Because when Li Anfu was born, his mother fell ill with a serious illness, and Li Anfu was affected before he was born.
Compared with other children, Li Anfu's physical development has always been relatively slow, and when it grows to 1 meter 2, it has completely stopped developing.
The family members all felt that he was thin and weak, and there was no way to adapt to the hard life of the army, but Li Anfu had always been obsessed with the army and always wanted to join the army and serve the country.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Li Anfu, who was only 12 years old, ran to the place where soldiers were recruited to register, and his uncle happened to work in this place, and he was very surprised when he heard that Li Anfu came to register.
The uncle hurriedly called Li Anfu to the front to lecture, and then bitterly persuaded him to go home. After being sent back to his hometown by his uncle, Li Anfu only had a few months of honesty before secretly going to another place to join the Eighth Route Army.
Li Anfu actually did not go well in joining the army this time, and when he arrived at the recruitment site, because he was too short to carry a long gun.
The commander was worried that he would die in vain when he arrived on the battlefield, so he refused his application for enlistment, and as a result, Li Anfu had to join the army and insisted on fighting with everyone.
The commander was impressed by Li Anfu's sincerity, so he took a charge and said to him, as long as you can blow him, I will let you join the troops, otherwise you will obediently leave and go home to school.
On the surface, this seems to give Li Anfu a chance, but in fact it is giving him a problem. The charge trumpet of the unit is not something that ordinary people can blow, and must undergo professional training before it can be used normally.
I didn't think that Li Anfu had already prepared for it, and he had practiced blowing military trumpets for a while when he was in school, so this problem did not really stop him.
In this way, he joined the army as he wished, becoming a cultural instructor and trumpeter of the 343rd Brigade of the 15th Division. After his father Li Jinlin learned of this incident, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he did not pursue it excessively. After all, he himself was an unwavering party member.
After entering the battlefield, Li Anfu has been following the organization around and actively obeying the orders of the leaders. Once, he was ordered to go to the battlefield to clean up supplies and encountered a seriously wounded Japanese officer.
At that time, the Japanese officer still had a black pistol in his hand, and when he saw Li Anfu, he instinctively wanted to shoot.
At this extremely critical moment, Li Anfu jumped in front of him, not only taking away his weapon, but also hitting him with accurate marksmanship.
This was the first time that Li Anfu had touched the real gun after entering the army, so he was particularly excited, secretly hiding the gun in his sleeve, ready to rush to the front line and fight with the enemy when he next fought.
Li Anfu's behavior violated the regulations of the troops at that time, so when the instructors found out, they not only criticized him, but also locked him up for a few days.
Later, Li Anfu participated in a military training activity and won the first place in the unit by relying on accurate marksmanship. General Xiao Hua, who was the commander, was very surprised by this and personally rewarded him with a pistol.
After a while, Li Anfu joined the armed forces because of his accurate marksmanship, and the main task of this unit was to assassinate traitors and senior Japanese officials.
After entering the armed forces, Li Anfu took advantage of his relatively short stature, often disguised as a primary school student, and gradually approached when the enemy was defenseless, looking for an opportunity to shoot at the enemy's key point.
By this means, he participated in 11 assassination operations and successfully killed senior Japanese officials 7 times. For example, in 1939, Li Anfu successfully assassinated the notorious Japanese instructor Kawashima Tanigawa.
Every time Li Anfu carried out a mission, the situation was particularly dangerous, especially after the successful assassination, he was often chased and intercepted by the enemy. Once captured by the enemy, there is only one way to die for him.
Once, in order to avoid the enemy's pursuit, he ran back to his alma mater, only to be forced into the cesspool of the toilet by the enemy who was chasing him.
After the enemy had grown away, he crawled out of the dirty environment. During the war, there were many similar dangerous encounters, and every assassination mission was a test of life and death for Li Anfu.
However, he never regretted his choice, because he knew that every time he succeeded in assassination, the enemy's strength would be weakened a little, and the country's victory in the war of resistance would come earlier.
At the time of the founding of New China, Li Anfu, as a hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, was invited to attend the Tiananmen Square ceremony and received cordial condolences from high-level leaders.
During the military parade for the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, Li Anfu was invited to visit Beijing again, and he had entered his old age, with medals hanging on his chest, and kissed the motherland's five-star red flag affectionately in front of Tiananmen.
