The most difficult war in China's history was undoubtedly the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, to know that China was only a backward agricultural country at that time, while Japan was already an industrialized power, in the case of the two sides are not equal to each other, China has made great sacrifices to resist Japanese aggression, throughout the War of Resistance, the front soldiers died and were injured countless times, and many young people sacrificed their young lives for this country, including some children.
In fact, in the national army team at that time, many of them were sixteen or seventeen-year-old baby soldiers, of course, there were some extra young, such as whether everyone is familiar with a photo of a doll soldier, in the photo, this doll raised her right hand, gave a thumbs up, wore this gray military uniform, and also carried a satchel and a water bottle, I think it was also because of his young age, at that time he did not have a gun, but his smile was very bright, and he seemed to be full of yearning for the future.
Later, on various occasions, I saw this photo, but I was not very familiar with the person in the photo, and I didn't even understand whether he was sacrificed or alive, and if he was alive, where did he go later? More than seventy years after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, people found the child in the photo according to some clues in the photo, and at this moment he was already an old dragon clock, but he still remembered the events on the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
The old man's name is Chen Youli, born in 1931, because China is in a period of war, soldiers and horses are in chaos, he and his family fled to beg for a living, in 1942 his parents were unfortunately killed, only 10 years old he fled with refugees all the way to Yunnan, after twists and turns, when the Burma War broke out, the Fifth Army of the Nationalist Army went to Yunnan as an elite unit, that is, during this period, Chen Youli was taken in by a groom of the Fifth Army, and has been following the troops to birth and death ever since.
However, due to his relatively young age, so everyone did not let him go to the battlefield, Chen Youli later became a company commander of the 200th Division under the Fifth Army, after the defeat of the First Burma War, the expeditionary force suffered heavy losses, only one unit of the Fifth Army returned to China from the Savage Mountain, although the sacrifice was huge, but the structure remained intact.
Among them, Chen Youli's 200th Division was later repaired in Yunnan, Chen Himself was also selected to train in India for 8 months in 1943, so he should also be regarded as a soldier from the elite army, but unfortunately, with the outbreak of the civil war, Chen Youli's unit was also sent to the battlefield, and the old man was eventually captured on the battlefield, but compared to those comrades who sacrificed on the battlefield, Chen Youli was also a relatively lucky one, and in his later life, he could still receive a monthly subsidy of 300 yuan, although it was not much, but life was still enough.
