The Song Dynasty poet Lin Wai lamented in the "Song of Dongxian": "In the past and present, things are not human, and in heaven and earth, only the rivers and mountains are not old." The broken mountains and rivers of the past have been replaced by today's prosperous and prosperous times, the ruins of the broken walls have been replaced by today's high-rise buildings, and the former displacement of flesh and bones has been replaced by today's harmony of home and country, all because there are countless martyrs and patriotic people who have fought hard to save their lives, and they will forever be engraved in the memory of every Chinese son and daughter.
During that 8-year war, Japan committed a world-shattering crime in the history of mankind in our country, and they did not care at all about the recognized precepts that those soldiers should observe. At a time when a nation is dying, the resilience and cohesion of a nation are revealed. Whether it was the soldiers who went to battle to kill the enemy or the ordinary people who had no strength to tie their hands, every countryman united. Whether it is peasants, intellectuals, businessmen or soldiers, people from all walks of life have the same heart to fight against the enemy.
It is precisely under this ideological concept of the unity of the family and the country and the unity of the military and the people that we have succeeded in breaking Japan's ambitions. It also made great contributions to the lasting victory of the world anti-fascist war. It is precisely because of the common struggle of our people that the pace of imperialism has gradually stagnated and regressed.
At 9 a.m. on September 2, 1945, Japan surrendered, which also marked the end of World War II. On October 25, the government of the Republic of China held a surrender ceremony on Taiwan, which marked the complete victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Since then, we who have resisted the oppression of the Western aggressors and Japanese imperialism have truly become independent and stand up.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the contribution of ordinary people to the war was indelible, and their simple but useful methods made the problems that had plagued our army for many days instantly resolve. At that time, for the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army, the artillery tower occupied by the Japanese army had been a difficult point that could not be conquered for a long time, and it would usually waste a large amount of ammunition of the Eighth Route Army but could not hit the Japanese remnants in the turret. This vexing problem was successfully solved by an old farmer passing by, and how did the working people who said, "Simple, I have a way, manage to drive out the Japanese soldiers in the turret?"
The turret was used to protect the traffic arteries when the Japanese occupied various parts of north and northeast China, and the general turrets were surrounded by holes the size of gun holes used to look at and shoot enemies. This design of the turret made it easy to defend and difficult to attack in that era, and it was difficult for the Eighth Route Army, which lacked ammunition on the battlefield behind enemy lines, to break through. Therefore, if you want to occupy the turret, you must deal with the Japanese troops lying in ambush inside, but because it is difficult to hit the enemy, it will consume a lot of ammunition that is not much.
So what method did the old farmer take to solve this problem? He suggested that the Eighth Route Army place straw and animal carcasses in the gun tower where there were gun holes, and when the wind blew toward the turret, ignite these weeds to help burn the animal corpses, and the smoke and odor generated by the burning would penetrate the holes into the turret.
When the smoke and stench entered the turret, the smell in the turret could not be dissipated because of poor ventilation, and the Japanese soldiers in it would be forced to flee from the turret because they could not bear it. At this time, our soldiers then formed an encirclement outside the turret and swept away the Japanese soldiers who had escaped. This method itself was used to force rodents out of the crypt, and it had the same miraculous effect on the Japanese soldiers in the turret, and had to admit the greatness of the wisdom of the working people.
It is precisely because of the help of such intelligent civilians that our soldiers have been able to successfully clear the remnants of the battlefield behind enemy lines and successfully drive the aggressors out of our land. There is no home and no country, no country has a home, and it is precisely under the support of such a concept that our people can fight with the enemy and condense the small wisdom of each people into a great wisdom to resist the enemy.
