After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chinese people joined in various actions against the aggressors and contributed a lot to the independence and liberation of the nation. During this period, there were not only Chinese fighters on the battlefield of China's anti-Japanese resistance, but also foreign fighters from other parts of the world, who had a heart of fraternity and made many contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Some of them were journalists, some were doctors, and some were fighters who went straight into battle, and their selfless dedication wrote a loud praise for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the people will never forget them.
Come to China
U.S. Capt. Brooke Dolan made many contributions to China during the War of Resistance Against Japan, but he committed suicide after the victory of the War of Resistance. Speculation is that it was because of his experience in the War of Resistance Against Japan: a mother of the Eighth Route Army covered his own son to death in order to cover him. Born in Hangzhou, China, Brooke Dolan was educated at Harvard University and was an explorer who led a team on expeditions to Tibet, China.
For these reasons, brooke Dolan was selected by the United States to work in China after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China, helping China fight against the enemy. After arriving in Yan'an with the US military observation group, Brooke Dolan went deep into the anti-Japanese base area to investigate and began to collect intelligence on various combat operations of the Japanese army.
Brooke Dolan worked in the Jizhong base area, and Yang Chengwu, the commander of the Jizhong military, held a small welcome party for him when he arrived. Brooke Dolan was particularly amazed by the tunnels after visiting the military installations in the base area. When Brooke Dolan came to the Ninth Division of Jizhong with the Eighth Route Army for an inspection, he also encountered the Japanese army, and the purpose of this group of Japanese troops was to capture Brooke Dolan. In order to protect Brooke Dolan, Dolan and the others were arranged by the local villagers to enter the tunnel.
The feat of the mother of the Eighth Route Army
When the Japanese army searched the villages one by one, they found the cameras and other items left behind near the tunnel that Brooke Dolan had drilled, and they determined that there must be people hiding in the tunnels, and then ordered their men to release grenades at the entrance of the tunnels. The Japanese army spent half a day at the tunnel entrance, and did not see any reaction inside, and did not withdraw until dark.
Inside the tunnel, Brooke Dolan was not harmed by the complex tunnel space, and one of the eighth route army mothers covered the child's mouth and nose for a long time in order to prevent the child from crying in the tunnel to attract the attention of the Japanese army, causing the child to suffocate.
Brooke Dolan found that the mother of the Eighth Route Army had killed her own son in the tunnel in order to cover him, and there was an indescribable taste in her heart. When he came out of the tunnel, he saw that the villagers who arranged for him to enter the tunnel were beaten and bruised, and his feelings were even more complicated. After inspecting the situation in the Base Areas in Hebei, Brooke Dolan handed over the information to the US military, which provided an important basis for the US military to bomb the military facilities established by the Japanese invasion of China.
Suicide is a mystery
But after the Japanese surrendered, Brooke Dolan committed suicide in Chongqing, the cause of which is unclear. Brooke Dolan, who is also a member of the U.S. Military Observation Group, told that Brooke Dolan's mood itself is not particularly stable, and there will be various behaviors that are very different from ordinary people, so some people suspect that Brooke Dolan's mental state may be depressed.
This depression may be due to seeing too many tragedies and cruelties on the battlefield, which caused a huge psychological shadow for Brooke Dolan, and eventually caused Brooke Dolan to be unable to bear these pains and chose to commit suicide.
epilogue
The truth about Brooke Dolan's suicide is more speculation, and what the actual situation is not known. Brooke Dolan is gone, but his contribution to the War of Resistance Against Japan during his expedition to China is indelible.
There are many international peace and friendly emissaries like Brooke Dolan who rushed for the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Anti-Fascist War, and no matter which battlefield they are in, they have only one goal in mind, that is, to protect world peace and create a comfortable and safe living environment for mankind. Unfortunately, many people have sacrificed their lives for world peace and have not yet witnessed the victory of the war.
