We read all the lead to present a different history.
Mention the story of the "Five Heroes of Wolf Tooth Mountain", I think everyone will not feel strange. When Ziyuan was studying many years ago, he learned this text in class, and he couldn't help but admire the five heroes, heroes like them and the backbone of the country, which can be called the brilliant light in that cruel history. However, few people know that some of the "Five Heroes" actually escaped from death, and today Ziyuan will introduce Ge Zhenlin, one of the "Five Heroes of Wolf Tooth Mountain".

The story takes place in the second year after the victory of the "Hundred Regiments War", that is, in the 30th year of the Republic of China (1941 AD). At that time, in retaliation for the defeat in the previous great war, the Japanese north China side dispatched the commander of the army, Okamura Ningji, to mobilize 100,000 Japanese troops to go deep into the Jin-Cha-Ji base area and carry out a large-scale sweep, the main purpose of which was to reduce the anti-Japanese strength of the Chinese Eighth Route Army through the tragic "three lights" policy, and to inflict major damage on the hearts and minds of the Chinese people. On September 23 of that year, the Japanese army wanted to gather all its forces and divide them into three routes, trying to eliminate Yang Chengwu's troops in the first sub-district of the Jin-Cha-Ji base area of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

The next day, the Japanese sent more than 3,500 Japanese puppet troops as stormtroopers to encircle the then strategic area of Yi County, Wolf's Tooth Mountain. At this time, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas and the masses of the people gathered at Langya Mountain, and under the urgency of the situation, Commander Yang Chengwu made a battle plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, that is, to pretend to attack the Japanese troops stationed around Guantou, Songshan, and Ganhe, and to prompt the Japanese army to reinforce in the direction of the main peak of the chessboard in the northeast of Wolf's Tooth Mountain, in order to rescue the trapped soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and many people.

However, there is a very important premise for the realization of this plan, that is, there is a brave and good enemy army. The most elite seventh company under the commander of Qiu Wei's regiment, as a pioneer, resolutely and resolutely took over the task of enticing the enemy. Under their serial plan, the Japanese puppet army was indeed caught in the trap and reinforced a large number of troops to The Chessboard. The soldiers of the Seventh Company had laid a large number of mines on the way to the chessboard early, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties. At this time, the Japanese army suddenly realized that it had made a plan, and in anger, it attacked the position of the Seventh Company, resulting in heavy casualties of the Seventh Company.

Therefore, although the Seventh Company completed the cover mission, the cost was extremely heavy, and most of the soldiers were martyred. In order to buy more time for the main force, Cai Zhanpeng, the instructor of the Seventh Company at the time, ordered the sixth squad to stay and hold their positions. So, how many people are left in the sixth class at this time? Including the deputy squad leader, there were five people, namely Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi, Hu Delin, and Hu Fucai, but the Japanese puppet army they had to face had at least a few hundred people. In order to drag the Japanese army to the maximum, the five men made an extremely tragic decision - that is, at the cost of their own lives. While circling with the Japanese army, they quietly led the Japanese army to the cliffs in the direction of Putuo Mountain.

When the five men retreated to the chessboard, they did not have a single bullet on their bodies. Without bullets, they picked up stones on the ground and smashed the Japanese. When the Japanese puppet army saw that their ammunition was empty, they shouted "catch the live" one by one and rushed up. In order to avoid being captured and humiliated, the five brave men jumped off the cliff together. Among them, Ma Baoyu, Hu Delin, and Hu Fucai died heroically, and Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi survived because they were hung by branches on the cliff, and they were later found by the search team and successfully rescued. After the two soldiers had recovered from their wounds, they chose to continue to fight. Ge Zhenlin, in particular, not only continued to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but also in the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Many people may mistakenly think that this kind of veteran warrior who has repeatedly achieved great feats must be cared for by all parties in his later years. However, Ge Zhenlin's old age is no different from ordinary old people, when he was seriously ill and hospitalized, the nurse turned on the air conditioner for him, and he dissuaded him, because in his view, the country was not rich, and there was no need to turn on the air conditioner when it was not cold. When his physical condition improved slightly, the elderly Ge Zhenlin often went to a nearby school and volunteered to teach patriotic education classes for the children. There are many people throughout the country who admire the old man's demeanor and often write to him, and even if he is physically inconvenienced, he still takes time to reply to everyone. In order to thank Ge Zhenlin, the local school also prepared some remuneration for him, but he refused, saying that he could keep this money for the children to buy books. Ge Zhenlin's deeds in his life make people can't help but sigh and cry, Mr. Hou's virtue, the mountain can be looked up.
