preface
On September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army in northeast China suddenly attacked Shenyang and invaded and occupied northeast China by force.
The September 18 Incident was the beginning of The Attempt by Japanese Imperialism to conquer China by force. Since then, the Chinese people have begun a 14-year arduous War of Resistance Against Japan.
This is a history that cannot be forgotten!
To this day, Japan's heart to die is still immortal, and it follows the US imperialists in advocating the Theory of the Chinese threat, insists on intervening in the Taiwan Strait issue, and even does not hesitate to intervene by force.
On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the outbreak of the 918 Incident, @Fenghua Peerless Xiao'er will relive history with friends from now on, and remember the national shame. In this way, we should encourage Chinese youth in the new era to bear in mind their hearts, work hard to become stronger, be vigilant against Japan's revival of militarism, strive to be "China's new anti-Japanese youth in the 21st century," dare to be the "backbone of the nation," and prevent problems before they occur, so as to avoid the recurrence of historical tragedies.
After the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army slaughtered the Chinese people
sequence
In the fourteen years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the flames of war were entangled in Hunan for seven years.
As if to confirm the saying of a long time ago: "If the Chinese nation is dead, unless the people of Hunan are dead"!
Here, the War of Resistance entered a stalemate; here, the Japanese struggled his last madness; here, six large-scale battles, so that the blood went deep into the land.
The waves crash on the shore, the lonely city fights to the death, sorrow and resistance, pain and awakening, to explore the strength that supported this land in that era, what 30 million Hunan fathers have done and experienced.
On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the outbreak of the 918 Incident, @Fenghua Peerless Xiao Xiao group took 18 fragments of memories and opened a magnificent picture of the Hunan War of Resistance - "Use Me to Xiangzhuang River and Mountain".
Hunan, the pain of the Wokou, the gall of China.
The 90th anniversary of the 918 Incident, don't forget the national shame!
Use me a Xiangzhuang River Mountain Chapter 4: Blood and Fire Camp Field
The First Battle of Changsha
In the early morning of September 18, 1939, the 3rd, 6th and 13th Divisions of the Xiangbei Japanese Kou split up and attacked the south to launch the First Battle of Changsha.
On the New Wall River Defense Line, the Japanese who attacked head-on encountered fierce resistance and the attack was blocked. The devil, who had mastered the water surface and could maneuver on Dongting Lake, turned his gaze to the side of the new wall river defense line, and the confluence of the Xiang River and miluo rivers entering the Dongting.
Riverport town of Yingtian.
Because of the Xiangjiang Minefield and the blockade of the shipwreck, this is the southernmost point that the Japanese Kou waterway attack can reach.
A typical raid.
Completing the invasion was the Uemura Detachment, a force of more than 7,000 men, the Devil's Marine Corps: a group of beasts that prided themselves on killing.
Camp field
Yingtian was once the second port in Hunan after Chenglingji.
In the years to come, it will be remembered because of sorrow, hatred and struggle.
The book is called "Blood and Fire Yingtian", which was written in 2005 on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and the editor-in-chief is Yingtian Ren Yidu. This book also has a set of children's reading books reprinted.
The book consists of the memories of more than a hundred people who witnessed the fall of Yingtian and begins on the fifth day after the first Battle of Changsha began in 1939.
On that day, the People of Yingtian were preparing for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.
In Nanjing, the Japanese troops on the field are organizing a military parade
Yi Du worked in the Propaganda Department of Quyuan District, Yueyang City, and in 1968, Yi Du was born in the Yi family house on Yingtian Street, and when he was very young, he often listened to the local old man tell the story of Yingtian's "walking soldiers".
This is also the reason why Yi Du wrote this book. Soldiers mean to fall.
In 2004, the Yingtian Care for the Next Generation Work Association decided to edit a book on the Yingtian War of Resistance, initiated by more than twenty retired and retired cadres and teachers.
The young Yi Du, who was then an officer of the Propaganda Department of Quyuan District, took the initiative to ask Miao to join him.
The investigation visit to the evidence collection work has gone through a whole year, more than a hundred elderly people.
Listening to those memories, Yi Du burst into tears countless times.
He still remembered an 87-year-old man named Wu Shengbao, who looked at the visitors very grimly and said, "When I mention the Japanese devils, I even drank a few bowls of their raw blood!" ”
Yi Clan Ancestral Hall
The Yi surname is the largest clan surname in Yingtian, and most of the Yi surnames in Hunan originate from this. Yi Zhiji, one of the survivors found during the visit, died in 2008, leaving behind a cassette tape from the visit.
"I still have dreams, I still dream about this scene, there is a plane in the sky, I often dream that I am still injured, and then I wake up and touch it, I am not bleeding here." Don't say that the original, still have this dream. ”
On the night of September 22, a fisherman by the Leishi River noticed that there were many motorboats looming on the surface of the water. The fisherman was very vigilant, and he felt that something was wrong, so he quickly ran to Tuishan Tsui, intending to report the news. There was the battalion headquarters of the 2nd Battalion of the 569th Regiment.
Among the many small piers in the Yingtian area, Tui Shan Tsui Wharf is the northernmost one, now known as the Mi textile wharf.
Spinning docks
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Tuishan Tsui went down to Menggu Wharf, a place called Yingtian, which was one of the most prosperous market towns in northern Hunan and was known as "Little Nanjing".
The east-west Yingtian Old Street is more than 300 meters long and connects to the Xiangjiang Wharf in the west.
At that time, there were nearly 200 grocery stores in the north and south of this street, and there were thousands of people every day.
This bustling town withered away in the mid-autumn of 1939.
The old man Yi Zhongjian was once the young owner of the Yingtian "Dahuachang" South Miscellaneous Shop. In 1939, the 12-year-old Yi Zhongjian was still studying at a private school, and the time he spent shopping with his classmates after school every day was the happiest memory of his life.
"Yingtian's economy is relatively prosperous, and people are celebrating when they enter a bumper harvest. As for the anti-Japanese resistance, Yingtian has long had troops stationed here. ”
The defenders had three lines of defense at Yingtianbu. Baiyuqi stationed a platoon of forward posts, and there was a company of support troops stationed at Tuishan Tsui, and then deep behind, there was a regimental force, and on the other side of the river, there was also a regimental force as a maneuver.
Everywhere the Japanese army went, it was terrible
The Japanese began to attack. In fact, the first people who came up were not the Japanese, but the Captive Soldiers of the Kuomintang, the Imperial Allied Forces, and all kinds of people who took advantage of the fire and looted, and the Japanese pushed them to the front as cannon fodder.
The fifth day before the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1939. That night, a fisherman by the Leishi River ran to the camp in Tuishan Tsui to report the news. At this time, one of the outermost outposts had actually been lost.
Yi Ditang, born in 1936, also lived in the Yi Family House on Yingtian Street. He was only three years old when Yingtian marched to the army. 65 years later, Yi Ditang participated in the compilation of the book "Blood and Fire Camp Field".
When the news was received, the defenders of Tuishan Tsui were playing cards and gambling money, and the soldiers said that the fisherman had spread rumors and locked him up.
At midnight, the devils landed at Tuishan Tsui, stabbed the sentry to death, and touched the battalion headquarters. A battalion was just served.
Immediately afterward, the regimental headquarters at Xiaobianshan was also touched.
At the beginning of the battle, the soldiers in the various key points were caught in a separate battle.
The defense zone collapsed.
The Japanese brutally killed Chinese
Xia Shaowu, the commander of the first battalion of the 569th Regiment, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, was one of the few soldiers who reacted in the early morning of this day.
The little resistance of a battalion gave Yi Zhongjian's family a chance to run out. "The Central Army died everywhere, not killed by the Japanese, but by planes."
But a battalion of scattered troops was quickly defeated. Xia Shaowu, who had been seriously injured, was nailed to the door panel by the angry ghost and burned to death.
After the Japanese occupation of Yingtian, it became a hell on earth.
As soon as the gunfire stopped, the first thing the devils did was to kill the prisoners of war in front of the common people.
Yi Zhongjian's younger brother, Yi Yingxiang, was only four years old at the time and ran out with his mother in his arms.
"This company on Yingtian Street fought alone, almost running out of ammunition, and the others ran away when they heard the gunshots. The company commander was killed alive by the Japanese, and first drew a circle on his forehead with a knife..."
The Japanese army was addicted to killing the Chinese people
The regimental deputy of the 569th Regiment was skinned by the Japanese and stripped from head to knee; Miao Peicheng, commander of the first battalion of the 570th Regiment, and Zhang Company Commander of the first company were crushed by the Japanese army. This was followed by unbridled slaughter.
All but one of the devils who saw the devils was killed.
A group of young adults in Santang Bay were escorted to a mountain bag and all beheaded in public.
On yingtian old street, a fire burned, and the tiles did not exist.
All the people who were too late to run never came out again.
The Japanese army slaughtered the Chinese people
Yi Zhongjian and his father crawled home, crying as they climbed—the streets were littered with corpses, and the fire burned Dahuachang.
Among them, the most tragic, almost killed households were six housing farms: Xianggong Bay, Tian Sheliu, Taishan House, Six Houses, Yujiaping, and Gantang Bay.
The people died tragically, and the Japanese army skinned for fun
Gantang Bay Housing Field, just behind Xiaobian Mountain Tuanbu Mountain. There is a vegetable farmer named Yi Yutao in the house, because people grow tall, and the townspeople call him "Jade Eldest Son", who fights for people and has fists and feet.
On the morning of the 23rd, Yi Yutao took his two sons to do farm work in the vegetable field behind the house, and his wife Yi Xiashi worked as a female worker in the house.
A group of ghosts entered the house.
Several ghosts rushed into his house and captured Yi Xiashi. Unexpectedly, Yi Xiashi had scissors at hand, and in the fierce resistance, the ghost was embarrassed and angry and shot.
Hearing the gunshots, Yi Yutao hid his two sons in the grass behind the house. He turned around and grabbed a hoe in one hand, grabbed a plate knife in the other, and rushed in.
Yi Yutao took the hoe and dug down one, and at that time, he still had a knife in his hand, and the knife cut over another one. Finally the Japanese devil shot him. Yi Yutao turned and cut off one of the hands of the third Japanese soldier with his sword.
The Japanese army invaded China and killed Chinese people
The ghost who had been chopped off escaped, and a group of ghosts followed, and a burst of random guns came over, and Yi Yutao was shot several times.
Annoyed and angry, the ghost cruelly chopped Yi Yutao's body into eight pieces.
Years have passed, Yi Yutao's grave has disappeared, and two sons who escaped the disaster have also passed away.
In 1997, the Eiji Yōda clan continued to revise the family tree. Yi Ditang, who was in charge of the compilation, learned from the mouths of the eighteenth generation of yi Yutao's hand blade Rikou, and in the "Xiande Zhi", the story of Yi Yutao was recorded.
Yi Yutao's story of a hoe and a kitchen knife splitting three devils spread.
Tian Han in his youth
This year, the famous dramatist Tian Han was writing a play reflecting the First Battle of Changsha. On December 14, he came to Northern Hunan to visit the course of the battle and overheard the story. Tian Han found the GantangWan House, donated funds to bury Yi Yutao and his wife in his former residence, and personally inscribed "The Tombstone of Yi Yutao's Warrior Couple" and wrote a poem to commemorate it.
The poem was later widely sung:
On September 23, the enemy came to Wumu Township, the soldiers fought to the death, and the people fled.
Yi Jun did not go alone, sharpening the knife to wait for the jackal, the two children fell behind the mountain, and the wife fell short wall.
After Yi Jun hid the door, he struggled to annihilate the enemy double, and the enemy brigade came, and the blood pool sank the Mandarin duck.
A cup of loess warmth, a thousand autumn white bone incense, everyone Yi Yutao, China will not die.
The Ninth Palace Curtain issued a battle song, Dongting Poyang set off a big wave, the front army had gone through the new wall, and the rear army had crossed Miluo.
Comrades-in-arms, kill, the enemy is as cruel as a mad devil, burning my house and cutting my grass, my parents and wives are humiliated, eating our pigs, cows, chickens and geese.
We only have to fight to the end, who talks about peace with the enemy, unity is not afraid of tightness, mobilization is not afraid of many, old wives, little brothers, wear straw shoes, play barefoot, high mountains and mountains walk like shuttles.
"Old man, little sister, take the flat burden, when the gango, we have a heart, the enemy soldiers will be afraid of what, we have hoes, he has cannons and tanks, why should I ,...... Drive away the Japanese ghosts and restore the old mountains and rivers."
In 1940, when filming the movie "Xiangbei Great Victory", Tian Han once again wrote this theme song with a stroke of his pen. In the lyrics, Yi Yutao's shadow is impressively in it.
White Bone Tower
At the top of Yingtian Lion-shaped Mountain, there stands a memorial tombstone of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, which is called "White Bone Pagoda" by locals.
In the winter of the Yingtian Massacre, the people who returned from the escape spontaneously collected the bones of the fallen soldiers and the remains of the slain villagers, and built two simple graves here.
In 1940, after the victory of the First Battle of Changsha, the 95th Division, which was in charge of the Yingtian Defense Zone, also collected the bones left in the battle of Wangluo and other places. The local people raised money and built a cemetery.
The cemetery has lost its original appearance after weathering the storm. In 2005, the elderly Yi Yingxiang hand-painted this remembrance map of the White Bone Pagoda according to his own memory.
There is an epitaph on the plaque.
Teardrops couldn't stop my eyes from flowing with resentment
In Yi Yingxiang's impression, when the White Bone Pagoda was built, there was also a large-scale memorial ceremony.
Yi Yingxiang remembered that on the day of the public sacrifice, the people of the surrounding counties came to worship.
The incense burned for three days and three nights.
There is a painting on the gate of the cemetery, which is the book of Yi Xiang, a respected villager in the Yingtian area at that time:
Tiger Ben's three thousand hot blood has no remorse, and the autumn wind and August cold tide have more than a hundred miles of mourning.
Yingtian, the nameless town of Northern Hunan on the map, has been repeatedly recorded in modern Chinese history because of the war.
Historical researchers have listed the "Yingtian Massacre" and the "Factory Cellar Massacre", "Qingshan Massacre", "Hongshan Massacre" and "Changde Germ Warfare" that occurred here as the five major atrocities committed by the Japanese in Xiangzhou.
Some of the place names here in Yingtian, such as "Tian Shed Willow", "Six Houses", "Dry Pond Bend", etc., have gradually disappeared because they were killed by the devils.
The bloody massacre of the Invading Japanese Army in Guangwu Shanghewang Village
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, a group of ghost captives were escorted from Changsha to Yueyang, and when the team passed through Yingtian, a local person called "Zhang Crazy" saw it on the street, and somehow made him recognize that it was a group of ghosts. He shouted, "Kill the devil, kill the devil!" ”
The people on the street were sensational, and everyone shouted in unison and pounced, frightening the ghost group of ghosts. Finally, he was stopped by the troops responsible for escorting.
Later, everyone learned that the wife of this "Crazy Zhang" died in the "Yingtian Massacre" of that year, and has been crazy ever since.
People say that although others are crazy, their hearts are still bright.
Don't forget the national shame! Remember the national vendetta forever!
Tomorrow, @Fenghua Peerless Xiao'er will continue to tell the fifth article of the Xiangzhuang River and Mountain with me - the Great Victory of Xiangbei, relive history, do not forget the national shame, learn from history, and keep in mind the mission!
