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. Next, Xiaobian sorted out a group of anti-Japanese old photos to reproduce the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese resistance style, paying tribute to these great and kind soldiers!
Figure 1:
A close-up photograph of an Eighth Route Army soldier taken during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This soldier is neatly dressed, has a beautiful face, looks very approachable, wears a striking 18GA armband on his arm, giving people an inexplicable sense of intimacy, this is the most real image of the Eighth Route Army, there is no TV series in the Eighth Route Army's tall and mighty, oily face, but they are our closest people, the people we should be most grateful for!
Figure 2:
A photograph taken in the early morning of August 1940 of the Soldiers of the Eighth Route Army preparing to attack the Japanese stronghold in the mist. The two Eighth Route Army soldiers in the picture are armed with machine guns, ready to attack, creeping on the hillside next to the Japanese stronghold to carefully observe the every move of the Japanese Kou, ready to launch a surprise attack and give the Japanese a fatal blow!
Figure 3:
The picture shows the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were carrying water for the people during the War of Resistance Against Japan. This photograph also confirms that the Eighth Route Army is a people's army different from those cruel and hypocritical Japanese Kou, who come from the people and go to the people, and everything they do is for the country and the people.
Figure 4:
The picture shows the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are making straw shoes by hand. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the conditions were harsh, the materials were scarce, and the long-distance travel was often required to fight against Japan, resulting in many eighth-route army soldiers' shoes being worn out, so the soldiers exerted their tenacious spirit of self-reliance and made straw shoes by hand with cloth strips, hemp rope and other materials between battles, helping the soldiers through the most difficult period.
Figure 5:
The picture shows the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were marching during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, including some young soldiers, who resolutely stepped forward in the face of the Japanese invasion and the destruction of their homes, and the childishness on their faces did not completely fade before they went to the battlefield early without complaining.
Figure 6:
An old photograph of eighth route army soldiers resting in the shade of a tree. The soldiers in the picture are sitting neatly and orderly, many soldiers are holding a rifle in their arms, judging from the dark and shiny dust cover, this is the famous 38-type rifle during the War of Resistance, which is the "38 Big Cover" that we often hear in film and television dramas, and the soldiers loved it very much after capturing this gun from the Hands of the Japanese Kou.
Figure 7:
The picture shows the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were training in the big knife during the War of Resistance, in many film and television dramas, the big knife is undoubtedly the standard of every Eighth Route Army soldier who goes to battle to kill the enemy, and the bulky knife is as flexible as a long snake in the hands of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. In fact, in the real anti-Japanese battlefield, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the enemy had a lot of hand-to-hand combat, so in peacetime training, they will also focus on the training of large knives.
Figure 8:
A veteran once recalled the real scene of the Eighth Route Army's combat: due to the shortage of materials and less guns and ammunition of the Eighth Route Army at that time, in order to maximize the role of guns and bullets, the soldiers often did not shoot at a distance of less than 150 meters from the enemy, once the enemy was attacked, within a few minutes the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army would appear in front of the enemy with bayonets and engage in white-knife warfare with them. The picture shows the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army training their bayonets.
Figure 9:
The picture shows three heroic female soldiers of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they did not have the weakness of ordinary women, their faces were more than a few points of the resolute eyes held by soldiers, in the face of the Japanese invasion, countless Chinese sons and daughters threw themselves into the tide of anti-Japanese salvation, among which a large number of firm and tenacious heroes also emerged, they proved their patriotic determination with practical actions, and they are also heroes we respect!
The land does not distinguish between north and south, people do not distinguish between east and west, with our flesh and blood predecessors and successors rushed to the front line of the anti-Japanese war, fourteen years of anti-Japanese war, how many Sons and daughters of China sacrificed their lives for the country, turned over this dusty old shadow, iron blood resistance, Zhang Zhang made people tears. The reason why we can live in this harmonious and happy life is that these revolutionary ancestors bought it with their blood and lives, and the only thing we can do is to remember history and not forget the national shame, so that we can learn from history, know the shame and then be brave, and make the motherland more prosperous and strong!
