At 7:00 a.m. one day in 1939, the Japanese military instructor Kawashima Tanigawa walked on the way to the training guard according to the custom, preparing to carry out military training for the guards. A Chinese elementary school student approached, and the two passed by, and the Chinese elementary school student bowed to Kawashima Tanigawa.
Seeing that there were Chinese elementary school students who actually gave themselves a salute, this made Kawashima very happy, so he immediately stretched out his hand and patted the child's head and said, "Child, you are very good." After that, the two intersected and continued to walk forward, and just as the two walked out of the distance of 2 or 3 meters, the child took a gun from his clothes and fired two shots in a row at the heart of Kawashima's back.
Kawashima fell to the ground at the sound of gunfire, spitting blood, and the child was sure that Kawashima was dead, immediately turned around and ran, changed his clothes nearby, and returned home.
Was this assassin really a schoolboy? Who the hell is he? Why assassinate Japanese military officers? How many Japanese officers did he assassinate? What did he do besides assassinate him? This article will take you into the legendary battle history of li Anfu, a member of the Eighth Route Army's armed engineering team and hero.
Coming from a wealthy family, he aspired to drive japanese devils out of China and learned a good skill from an early age
Born in 1925 in Leling, Dezhou City, Shandong Province, li anfu family of wealthy gentry, he can be said to have eaten and drunk from an early age, he was very smart since childhood, and his parents also let him go to private school to learn cultural knowledge.
Nevertheless, Li Anfu, who grew up in that turbulent era, witnessed the Japanese army burning and looting, committing all kinds of crimes in Chinese territory, and the young Li Anfu was determined to drive the Japanese devils out of China when he grew up.
But at that time, Li Anfu, who was still young, did not know what to do to achieve this goal, so he pinned his hopes on having a good martial art, thinking that practicing martial arts well could fight devils.
So he began to practice boxing, the wind and the sun persevered, Xiao Anfu felt that after practicing well, he could have the ability to fight devils. One day his father asked him, why do you practice boxing? Xiao Anfu replied, "I'm going to fight the devil." ”
After hearing this, my father said, "The devils on the battlefield are all guns, and if you can't beat them with boxing, people's bullets will fly over." If you want to fight a devil, you have to practice shooting. ”
Xiao Anfu was very excited when he heard it, and he wanted to learn to shoot a gun very much, but when he thought about it, he lowered his head in frustration and said, "I can't shoot guns, and I can't find anyone to teach me." The mother heard the laughter and pulled her father over and told him not to sell guanzi. At this time, Xiao Anfu learned that his father had the ability to shoot guns, and he could also teach him to shoot guns.
From then on, Xiao Anfu practiced shooting under the guidance of his father, laying the foundation for him to become an assassination hero.
At the beginning, the father sharpened the thick nails, tied chicken feathers to the tail to make a long dart, and put a homemade 10-ring target in front of him, so that Xiao Anfu could practice throwing long darts, starting from 2 meters, then to 3 meters, to 5 meters.
Xiao An Fu practiced every day, and his hands were so sore that he couldn't pick up the cups and chopsticks. Dad asked him if he was in pain? He replied, "It doesn't hurt." Dad said sternly: "It is false that it does not hurt, but the pain also gives me to endure." In order to be able to fight the devil, Xiao Anfu gritted his teeth and insisted on practicing.
Dad saw that he had almost practiced his darts, so he replaced him with a gun made of bamboo barrels. A wooden plank was tied under the bamboo tube, similar to the handle of a pistol, and then the long dart was placed in the bamboo tube, which was like throwing the dart out.
A year later, Xiao Anfu was able to hit the 10 ring bullseye with darts, when his father began to let him practice "real guns", the so-called real guns, in fact, were also the earth guns at that time, the kind that had to be loaded with gunpowder, and the real guns on the battlefield were still different.
First let little Anfu take the earthen gun to beat the crow, then the magpie, the sparrow. After practicing like this for another year, it was officially replaced by a real gun, and with the foundation of the previous practice of the earth gun, it took only half a year for Xiao Anfu to achieve a hundred rounds and a hundred rounds, and there was no false bullet, at this time it was 1937, and Xiao Anfu was 12 years old.
However, as a Shandong native, the height of his father and brothers is very high, while Li Anfu has not seen the height of the tall, and the height has stopped at 1.2 meters. At that time, medicine could not solve this problem, fortunately, Li Anfu was open-minded, never inferior because of his height, and only wanted to practice his skills and defeat the little devil.
First entered the barracks and received the title of "Baby Soldier"
In 1938, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army ordered Xiao Hua, deputy director of the Political Department of the 115th Division and political commissar of the 343rd Brigade, to lead the Eighth Route Army's eastward anti-Japanese advance column into the Jilu Border Area, and on September 27, 1938, the troops arrived at Leling County.
After learning this news, as soon as it was dark that night, 13-year-old Li Anfu and his cousin carried their parents behind their backs and went to sign up for the Eighth Route Army at the first time, but the comrades at the recruitment office saw that he was too small, and indeed the age was less than 16 years old and rejected him.
Li Anfu repeatedly said that his brother died on the battlefield, and he must go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and avenge his family. Although the comrades in the recruitment office were touched by his determination, they still did not agree to his application for enlistment.
Li Anfu was not reconciled, so he waited at the door of the unit to see if he could find a leader to receive him. Finally one day he met General Xiao Hua, who explained to the general his determination to enlist in the army. General Xiao Hua said to him, "If you can blow the trumpet, I will agree that you stay and blow the trumpet in the army." ”
Although Li Anfu was not very tall, he exercised since he was a child, and his lung capacity did not have to be said, and the military trumpet was blown when he took it, so that Li Anfu finally officially became a soldier of the Eighth Route Army and became a trumpeter under General Xiao Hua.
Because he was young and small, after enlisting in the army, everyone called him a "baby soldier".
Soon, Li Anfu ushered in his first battle after joining the army, which was fought with a bandit nicknamed Big Golden Tooth. Because of the first time he participated in the war, Li Anfu was very nervous, and as soon as he received the order to blow the trumpet, he did not care about three or seven twenty-one, and directly climbed to a grave and blew the charge trumpet, because he felt that standing high, the sound could be heard far away.
As a result, as soon as he went up, he was pulled down by the commander of the division and made him lie down. He thought that lying down was lying down, but how to blow the trumpet when he was lying down? When he said this question with a look of grievance, the chief of the division explained that the original number could still be lying down and blowing.
So he began to lie down and blow the trumpet, blowing hard, and when the battle was over, Li Anfu's mouth was also blown swollen, and his comrades-in-arms joked with him that he had gained a lot of weight after a battle, but the hardship behind it was only known by Li Anfu himself.
However, after fighting this battle, Li Anfu's courage also grew, and then he practiced his trumpet blowing skills, whether it was standing, lying down or in the trenches, he could ensure the completion of the trumpet blowing task.
After blowing the trumpet for a year, because he had a cultural knowledge base, he was promoted by General Xiao Hua to a cultural instructor.
Shoot the Japanese officers and win their first shot by shooting
Li Anfu, who was following the team to the battle, walked to the yard where the wheat was drying after the battle, and suddenly heard a painful groan from a corner. He looked over and saw a man lying against the wall, with a pair of leather boots on his feet, and a command knife and a short gun falling from his side.
Li Anfu recognized this as a Japanese officer, and because he did not have a gun in his hand, he took a branch as a weapon and approached the man. The other side may have been very badly injured and did not move much, Li Anfu, just in case, quickly walked to the front and kicked away the command knife, quickly picked up the gun, fired two shots at the Japanese soldier, and killed the enemy.
After that, Li Anfu looked at the gun in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he had long wanted to have a gun of his own. So when he looked around to see that no one was there, he secretly buried it under the wheat pile and pretended to go back as if nothing had happened.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the instructor Yang Zhanshan came to him and asked him to memorize the three major disciplines and eight points of attention. Li Anfu didn't think much about it, anyway, he had already memorized it well, so he carried it. After memorizing it, Instructor Yang asked him to recite the "everything captured to the public" 3 times, and then asked him if he had a gun and did not turn it in?
As soon as he heard the instructor ask this, Li Anfu's head buzzed, knowing that something bad had happened, and that he had found the matter of hiding the gun, and then the instructor took him to find the gun. Next, Li Anfu's position as squad leader was stopped, and the trumpet was not allowed to blow, and he had to write a review.
Originally, it was to be locked up, but because of the limited conditions, there was no special confinement room, so Li Anfu was not locked up. Instead, he symbolically tied a few ropes to his body and did not affect the activity, but after this series of actions, Li Anfu felt that he was humiliated and would never dare to violate discipline like this again.
The instructor told him that the Japanese soldier he had killed was an officer named Ichiro Kuroda, and that he was a regimental commander and the main officer of the Japanese army. The punishment for him this time was asked by General Xiao Hua to make a review, because General Xiao Hua said that he was like a wild horse, and that a good education is a good horse, and a bad education is a bad horse.
The guide also said that General Xiao Hua said that after he made meritorious deeds, the gun would be rewarded to him. Upon hearing this, Li Anfu saw the hope of owning his own gun, and since then, Li Anfu has had the title of "Little Wild Horse".
After that, Li Anfu ushered in the opportunity for his own meritorious service. After the big training, he won the first place in the short gun 35-meter shooting competition, three shots and three shots, and General Xiao Hua awarded him an award and gave him the gun as a prize. Li Anfu was very excited, saying that with this "good friend", he could fight all over the Japanese devils in Quanleling.
After the end of the large-scale training, the short gun 35 meters shooting 5 or 6 people participated in the competition, three shots and three shots, he was the first, General Xiao Hua awarded him a certificate, and also gave him the gun as a prize
He was very excited, with this good friend, he could fight all the Japanese devils in the whole Leling. This gun has also become a special "wife" in his life, when sleeping, he must hang the gun around his neck, press the bullet, and as soon as there is movement, he can immediately press the safety machine to shoot. Afterwards his wife said he was better at guns than for her.
Transferred to the armed forces behind enemy lines, he passed on important information and lost his beloved son
In October 1939, the troops were reduced to pieces according to the instructions of their superiors, and Li Anfu was secretly transferred to the armed engineering team. It was announced to the outside world that the troops were streamlined, that they were no longer soldiers, and that they had returned to their hometowns, but in fact they were lurking and waiting for the tasks assigned by their superiors.
In April 1940, under the arrangement of the organization, Li Anfu met his wife Bian Xiulan, who did not dislike Li Anfu for being short, but felt that he was honest and sincere, and the two were very happy after marriage.
In order to cover people's eyes and ears, it is said that this wife was bought by Li Anfu for 200 yuan, but privately cooperated many times to complete the secret transmission of intelligence tasks.
Once, Mr. and Mrs. Li Anfu obtained an important piece of information that must be passed on in a timely manner, otherwise it will bring huge losses to our army. At this time, his wife was 6 months pregnant, and Li Anfu helped his wife to go out to deliver information. Just out of the south gate, I found a group of ghosts coming, in order to avoid the ghosts' interrogation, the two hurriedly found a place to hide.
In the process of looking for it, the wife accidentally fell on her head, and her stomach began to hurt severely. The wife insisted that the information was sent to the destination, and when she returned home, she miscarried and was a boy.
Once in an interview, the old man said that if his son was still alive, he would now be 79 years old, and his eyes showed guilt and reluctance for his children. This is the great righteousness of the old man, for the victory of the anti-Japanese resistance, sacrifice the small self, take care of the big self.
From their marriage in April 1940 to September 1943, Mr. and Mrs. Li Anfu sent a total of 220 pieces of intelligence, including 20 important pieces of intelligence, which provided strong intelligence support for the final victory of our army.
Taking advantage of their own advantages, assassinating important figures of the enemy army, and repeatedly performing miraculous feats
In addition to spying on intelligence, Li Anfu took advantage of the uniqueness of his height to make people look like he did not have the advantage of aggression, easily disguised himself and blended into the enemy-occupied area, performed some secret missions, and completed many important assassination missions.
There was a Japanese officer named Ibarya Goo, who was the first gendarme captain of Leling at that time, he took pleasure in killing people, killing more than 200 ordinary people in Leling many times, and after killing people, they were not allowed to be buried, but directly from the East City Gate and thrown into the moat, the river was dyed red and emitted a foul smell.
The organization decided to send Li Anfu to assassinate Ibarani Goo, and he completed the task brilliantly. Later, there was the first Kawashima Tanigawa, who was a Japanese military instructor who was very cruel and often used the common people of Leling as a target to practice shooting for his soldiers.
The organization once again sent Li Anfu to assassinate Kawashima Tanigawa, after studying Kawashima Tanigawa's training of the Japanese army every week on 1, 3, and 5, and training the traitors and the garrison on 2, 4, and 6, and set off at 7 o'clock every morning, so Li Anfu disguised himself as a primary school student in the morning and guarded the road that Chuandao had to pass, and the scene at the beginning of the whole text occurred, and the assassination task was successfully completed.
Li Anfu recalled that Kawashima Tanigawa patted him on the head and praised him: "Child, you are very good." When he was thinking, he thought of 8 words: "I came to take your life."
In addition to these two men, Li Anfu also assassinated onoda Mori, Okada Yuji, Yamaguchi Fumimasa and other important officers of the Japanese army, and achieved brilliant results, and was praised as the strongest special soldier in the martial arts team.
When the assassination was blocked, he hid in the pit and was determined to die with the enemy
Of course, the assassination also encountered a bad time, in 1943, the secretary of the leling fourth district party committee defected, defected to the then Huimin Japanese Gendarmerie, served as a pseudo-county magistrate, specialized in destroying underground party organizations, Li Anfu began to act after receiving the assassination task.
When Li Anfu learned that the traitor was at Su Huanzhang's hotel in the south of Ximenwai Road, he lurked at the door and saw the traitor standing in the doorway of the hotel, with his back to him. Just as he pulled out his gun and was about to go up to assassinate him, the traitor suddenly turned his body and pointed directly at his hiding point, so that a large number of enemy troops came to pursue him.
Taking advantage of his short stature, Li Anfu ran back to the primary school where he had been studying, hiding among a bunch of elementary school students, making it extremely difficult for the enemy to hunt down. After that, under the guidance of his teacher, he hid in the school toilet, jumped into the pit and hid.
It was September, it was very hot, the pit was stinking, maggots crawled on his face, and he remained motionless, pointing his gun at the door of the latrine. He thought to himself that there were 24 bullets in the gun, and the enemy came to me to hit one, and finally left two for himself.
In addition, he has 2 grenades on his body, the enemy is coming, he is also ready to pull the grenade and die with the enemy. Both hands were prepared in exchange for the enemy's life, and Li Anfu did not consider his own life safety at that time, only thinking about how to destroy the enemy, and truly regarded death as a homecoming.
Fortunately, when it got dark, although there were footsteps outside, I didn't see anyone coming into the lavatory looking for anyone. The next two teachers came in and told him the enemy was gone and pulled him out. He kowtowed to the teacher, thanked the teacher for saving his life, and then fled along the moat. Later, it was learned that because someone had defected, the assassination plan failed.
After his father was captured by the enemy and broke his leg, Li Anfu's identity was completely exposed, and he could no longer perform the tasks of the armed engineering team, and was transferred to the eighth route army Bohai First Military Sub-district Teaching Team.
Attacking small towns, bombing bunkers, and being disabled for life
In a battle, Li Anfu's unit wanted to attack a small town, and when attacking, it encountered a mother-and-son fort of the enemy army, which was very difficult to attack, and someone had to sneak over and blow up this bunker, the task was very dangerous, and if you were not careful, you might be killed. Everyone was scrambling to blow up the bunker, and Li Anfu stood up and said that he was small and flexible, and it was not easy for the enemy to find people, and it was more appropriate for him to go.
So he, under the cover of his teammates, detoured to approach the bunker, pulled the No. 3 blaster, and filled the bunker. He heard a "bang", the bunker exploded, and the shock wave brought by the explosion instantly lifted him into the air.
When he fell, his arm was broken, which eventually caused permanent deafness in his left ear and complete blindness in his right eye, resulting in a lifelong disability.
The old man's wish has been fulfilled, and he still exerts his residual heat
In his 19-year military career, Li Anfu participated in the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and successively made 1 first-class merit, 3 second-class merits, and 4 third-class merits, was awarded more than 10 honorary titles such as "First-Class People's Hero" and "National Combat Hero", and won the commemorative medal for the 70th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
11 times in danger, born into death, the war left his body with countless scars, in addition to the deafness of his left ear, the inability to open his right eye, and the shrapnel left in his right leg. Fortunately, the elderly Li Anfu witnessed the establishment of the new China for which he fought, saw the prosperity of the motherland today, and all his efforts were worth it.
The 96-year-old Li Anfu often gives "red education" activity reports to teenagers, and is awarded the "Special Contribution Award for Caring for the Next Generation" by the Dezhou Municipal Customs Work Committee.
The only wish of the elderly Li Anfu was to go to Beijing to see the national flag raised, and when this wish was realized at 6 o'clock in the morning on June 29, 2019, the old hero kissed the national flag excitedly, which was his lifelong belief.
This kiss of his also touched all the Chinese people, veterans who had experienced the baptism of fire, and understood the meaning of the national flag, which was dyed red with the blood of countless fresh spirits.
Elder Li Anfu witnessed this moment in place of countless sacrificial comrades-in-arms, and perhaps at this moment the old man's heart silently told those comrades-in-arms that the Chinese people stood up, your wishes were fulfilled, your sacrifice was valuable, this is the new China for which you fought, how beautiful and powerful it is now!
Watching the red flag rising in the morning sun, the old man said: "There are no regrets in this life." Such a simple and lofty wish, this is the pursuit of a hero, and the great righteousness of the nation and the country will always be in his heart, above all else.
A nation with hope cannot do without heroes, and a country with a future cannot do without pioneers.
I wish the elderly Li Anfu good health and all the best!
Salute to the hero, you will always be the most revered person in our hearts, you are a real giant!
