History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in order to defend their homeland and resist aggression, countless soldiers of the Eighth Route Army threw themselves into the great cause of liberating China, and exchanged their blood and lives for the hard-won peaceful life they have now come by. However, in recent years, all kinds of "anti-Japanese dramas" have flooded the screen, seriously distorting the truth of history, resulting in many young people not understanding that period of history, and most people's understanding of the War of Resistance Against Japan only stays at the level of those anti-Japanese dramas, but the fact is not the same as in the anti-Japanese dramas.
▲The picture shows the scene of the local militia units of the Eighth Route Army fighting against the Japanese. As an important armed force, the militia units of the Eighth Route Army played a huge role in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and a large number of anti-Japanese heroes emerged. The Japanese in the photo enter the Chinese village and encounter the local militia troops, who are beaten and fleeing, next to a killed Japanese Kou, and the fighters are chasing the fleeing enemy.
▲ The picture shows a real Eighth Route Army soldier, there is still a little green on his face, he doesn't look very old, wearing a tattered, patched Eighth Route Army uniform, completely without the brilliance of the Eighth Route on the TV series, but this is the person we are most real and should be close to! Although the conditions are difficult, the determination of these Chinese fighters to resist the Japanese and the Kosso, resist the enemy, and serve the motherland will never change!
▲ This is a photograph taken in 1944 of a member of the local militia of the Eighth Route Army. Facing the camera, the militia soldier was smiling, very approachable, and had an inexplicable sense of intimacy, holding two landmines in his hands, as if to show off his weapons against the Japanese Kou to the camera. Because of the shortage of materials, the local militia fighters could not get equipment from the Eighth Route Army troops, they were self-sufficient, handmade these weapons to fight against the Japanese, in their own way to repay the motherland!
▲ The picture shows the precious photos of the three generals zuo qi (first from the left), Liu Zhuanlian (second from the left) and Chen Waiou (third from the left) of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. At this moment, they were studying the three newly captured heavy machine guns, looking very happy, and praised the camera. Among them, General Zuo Qi lost his right arm because he was wounded in an ambush against Japan, and became a one-armed general of our army, but the lack of arms did not shake the general's anti-Japanese enthusiasm in the slightest, and in 1955 General Zuo Qi was awarded the rank of major general.
▲ The picture shows the female eighth road of the supply department of the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region in 1939 during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, making military shoes for frontline soldiers. The victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan was not only because of the brave and tenacious soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who resisted and killed the enemy on the front line, but also because of the female soldiers in the rear who provided a steady stream of material supplies for the soldiers on the front line!
▲ A photo taken at the scene of the transfer of the position of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei Province in 1944. In the large pit in the picture lie the corpses of many Japanese Kos, where the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army killed them and are quickly evacuating with the weapons of the Nisso.
▲ An old photograph taken in 1940 of an Eighth Route Army soldier who was shot during a charge during the anti-sweeping battle in the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region. The soldier in the picture slowly fell down after being unfortunately shot, which made people look very distressed and uncomfortable, and it was such an anti-Japanese hero who was not afraid of life and death, and heroically resisted the war in exchange for today's peace!
▲ The picture shows that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1943, next to the Anding Highway, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army successfully ambushed a group of Japanese bicycle teams. At that time, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the familiar terrain and often adopted the combat tactics of guerrilla warfare, which played a huge deterrent effect on the Japanese, in order to deal with the Eighth Route, the Japanese used the mobile combat method of bicycles, but the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army took various methods, often surprised, giving surprise attacks to the Japanese army, and often captured a large number of Japanese materials and bicycles.
