When he joined the army at the age of 13, the devil called him "the king of Yan" with a reward of 1,000 taels to arrest him, and his life in his later years was low-key
In the war, many people in China really sacrificed a lot of people, and many of us in China in that generation suffered a lot, but now China is already a developing country, so I hope that China can always live in peace and not have any war, which will only bring endless pain and sorrow. One person to talk about today is the person who the Japanese originally offered a reward of one thousand taels of silver to ask others to catch it, that is Gazi, maybe everyone will think of the little soldier Zhang Ga as soon as they hear this name, this TV series has always been a childhood memory of the post-90s.
But this is not a fictional story, it is based on a true story, so when we watch TV, we will have a string of words that appear at the beginning of the TV, that is, based on the real adaptation. This person's name is Yan Xiufeng, Yan Xiufeng's nickname is Gazi, born in December 1924 in a small village called Hou Wang Yue in the Baiyangdian area of the Jizhong Plain, who lost his parents from childhood and grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village.
In 1937, the Japanese devils invaded the Jizhong Plain and implemented the "three lights" policy for the Baiyangdian area. Gazi, who was only 13 years old, joined the anti-Japanese guerrillas and joined the Communist Party of China at the age of 15, he was witty and brave, he had many ideas for fighting devils, he had a good marksmanship of where to fight with one finger, and he was a legendary little eight road known to all ages in the entire anti-Japanese zone. Gazi was lively and lovely, and his military achievements were outstanding, and in the two years from 1943 to 1944 alone, more than 100 spies who were deeply hated by the masses of the people were executed by him. He participated in the raid on 8 turrets, capturing 59 rifles, 40 pistols, 1 machine gun and 2 grenadiers. The devils were terrified of him, calling him the "Living Yama King" and offering him a reward of 1,000 taels of silver for his head.
In the summer of 1946, the heroic Gazi had become a platoon leader of a unit of the People's Liberation Army, but unfortunately, in a battle, he led the team to rush to the front line and was unfortunately injured, of which 4 or 5 brothers were unfortunately killed, and he was also shot twice by the troops in the homes of ordinary people to recuperate. In 1951, Yan Xiufeng, who was looking for troops in many ways, received accurate information in Tianjin that his unit had gone to Fight in Korea, so he found a job in Tianjin and stayed. In the next dozen years, he worked as a weaver, stevedor, and handyman, but never mentioned his glorious history to leaders and colleagues. The last job was as a boilermaker, which I did for more than thirty years.
In his later years, the old hero of Yan lived alone in a two-bedroom monolithic, playing chess with the old friend of the neighbor during the day and telling the children the story of catching traitors and beating devils during the War of Resistance at night. Reporters often interview him and ask him why he chose such a hard life, why didn't he tell the organization his identity to apply for leave treatment? Elder Yan's eyes were red and he said, "There is nothing wrong with such a life, it is okay to be poor, compared to the dead brothers, I am already very happy." ”
After the deeds of the old hero of Yan were reported, they also attracted the attention of the state, and in 1987, Gazi Yan Xiufeng finally received a leave of absence, and his salary rose to 71.5 yuan.
