What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
When it comes to landlords, everyone's impression must not be very good, in the past many landlords used to have a few acres of land, they squeezed the labor force of the people, just like driving their own cattle, indifferent and ruthless. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were many examples of landlords helping soldiers to fight against the Japanese, such as zongzijing, an ordinary hero mentioned today.
We know that the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression came after the "July 7 Incident" on July 7, 1937, when the Japanese army, which had occupied the northeast region of China for 6 years, began to extend its hand to North China and Shanghai. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, they even unleashed the wild rhetoric of "destroying China in three months."
The progress of the Japanese army in the early stage was very smooth, but as the invasion deepened, the troops were dispersed and the tug-of-war between our army was unfolded, and the Japanese invasion began to become more and more difficult. On the other hand, at the time of life and death, the anti-Japanese sentiment of all soldiers and civilians reached its peak, and the unity of the Chinese military and people gave the Japanese army a strong blow.
The Japanese army dared to be so arrogant at the beginning, precisely because their weapons were more advanced than ours, and after the Meiji Restoration, Japan made great progress in industry and economy, and even defeated the powerful Russia after the Sino-Japanese War.
In early April 1939, the Japanese army launched an attack on the fifth detachment of the anti-Japanese advancing column of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which was preparing to open up the Lubei Battlefield in the south. The Japanese army received intelligence in advance and ambushed at the intersection, launched a surprise attack on our army, fortunately, our army was familiar with the territory, and fled to a hidden place in time, but it was also surrounded by heavy encirclement.
In order to counter the encirclement of the Japanese army, our army opened fierce fire on the Japanese army, causing the Japanese army to retreat continuously. It seems that it is about to break through the encirclement, but the embarrassing thing is that the ammunition is about to run out, weapons and equipment and ammunition materials have always been in short supply in our army, and now it has fallen into such a dilemma, and it is obviously impossible for the remaining bullets to break through.
Just when the Eighth Route Army was about to run out of ammunition, suddenly came an old man of about 70 years old, this old man was Zong Zijing, his home was not far from the encirclement, he watched the firepower of the Eighth Route Army slowly become smaller, he guessed that there should be insufficient ammunition, so he rushed to the front of the line and told the Eighth Route Army: "There are still more than a dozen boxes of bullets in my backyard." ”
The warriors followed Zong Zijing to his compound, Zong Zijing opened the cellar, the soldiers' eyes lit up, and pieces of ammunition were piled together, comparable to a small military camp, and there were special guns. The fighters brought the ammunition to the front of the line, and the situation that had been defeated was pulled back again.
With these ammunition, our army not only successfully broke through, but also repelled the Japanese army. Defending the land of the common people from being invaded by the Japanese army also laid an important foundation for the opening up of the Lubei Theater, all because Zong Zijing supplied ammunition to the soldiers in time.
The old landlord Zong Zijing said that his ancestors had lived here for generations, and the guns and ammunition were left by the older generation, which were originally used to fight bandits, but they did not expect to be of greater use. There is no doubt that Zong Zijing is different from other unscrupulous landlords, and during the War of Resistance, he not only did not take advantage of the fire and robbery of the common people, but also helped the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to fight against the Japanese, which was commendable.
