Cowherds killed the Japanese lieutenant general, and buried the secret in his heart for 60 years, which is admirable
In the 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our country paid a very high price to drive the Japanese aggressors out of China, and at that time our army established various base areas in the encirclement of the enemy, which successfully disrupted the ambition of the Japanese army to quickly occupy our country, so that 600,000 Japanese troops and 3 million puppet troops could not advance, and the important role played by them was also indelible.
In 1939, a lieutenant general known to the Japanese as the Flower of the Empire, Norihide Abe, began to command the army to formally encircle the anti-Japanese bases of our army, and when Abe Norihide came to Laiyuan County, Hebei Province to inspect the encirclement and suppression situation, a cowherd Li Erxi, as a mortar gunner, unexpectedly killed the Imperial Flower Abe Norihide with four shells.
It also made the morale of our army high, and all the soldiers of the army regarded him as a hero. Nie Rongzhen even gave him a pistol that he often wore, and after the victory of the War of Resistance, Li Erxi quietly retired from the army and did not reveal his identity, and the reason was precisely because although the whole country had been liberated at that time, there were still some hostile elements hidden among the people, and he had not spoken out about the identity of the hero.
For 60 years, he buried this secret in his heart, his family thought that he was an ordinary anti-war veteran, although the living conditions were not good, he never went to the organization to complain, and his deeds were finally discovered in 2005, which is also admirable, this is a revolutionary veteran!
