When people talk about landlords, they immediately think of the so-called exploiters. In particular, the landlords in ancient times basically lived a rich life by exploiting the peasants in the fish and meat towns. In addition, when we usually watch film and television dramas, the landlord image in it is not a good person, and what we are talking about today can be said to be the most bloody big landlord, who and his family are revolutionary heroes and have made great contributions to the country.
This is the person we are talking about today, this landlord is Dai Wanling, maybe everyone doesn't know much about him, after all, his sacrifice is too early and not known.
He can be said to be the most bloody big landlord in China, during the anti-Japanese period, Dai Wanling in the early years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he took his six sons with his family to the revolution, and finally all of them sacrificed their lives for the country.
Dai Wanling, also spelled Hongchang, was born in 1871. The ancestors were all industrious and simple peasants, and during the Qianlong period, there was famine everywhere, and a large number of people from Shandong ran to the northeast, which is a famous huge migration operation in history, breaking into the Kanto. Dai Wanling's ancestors were immigrants in the customs. The Dai family fled all the way to the area along the Shahe River in Jilin Province, where they worked diligently.
After several generations of diligence and earnestness, by the time Dai Wanling's generation arrived, he was already a famous local landowner, rich in thousands of acres of fertile land, herds of cattle and sheep, and workshops throughout the villages.
Since he was a child, Dai Wanling has deeply understood that the life of ordinary people is not easy. Although he became a landlord, he was very tolerant of his peasant households, often repairing bridges and roads for the people and funding to help poor families, so that his reputation in the local area was very high, and he was a landlord who was very admired by the people.
In 1931, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and the Japanese Kwantung Army invaded the northeast, burning and looting, and the northeast also fell one after another. Zhang Xueliang, the young commander of the Northeast Army, ordered the Northeast Army not to resist, and more than 10,000 Kwantung Army entered the northeast, as if entering no man's land.
The inhabitants of the three northeastern provinces are in dire straits, and they cannot bear the occupation of their homeland by the Japanese, the killing of their compatriots, the spontaneous organization of guerrillas by the people of the northeastern province, and the struggle against the enemy with their own weapons.
At that time, Dai Wanling's brother Wang Delin, in this social background, did not want to become a slave to the country, and spontaneously organized the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army, intending to drive the Japanese out of the northeast.
In the second year of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Delin led the team to the dongsha river and thought of his old brother Dai Wanling. Dai Wanling saw his good brothers and hurried to entertain them with good wine and good food. After three rounds of drinking, the two talked about the current situation in the country, and Wang Delin solemnly invited him to his troops to resist Japan and save the country.
Dai Wanling has also always used the dream of resisting Japan to save the country, so he took his family and the private armed "gunner team" of his own nursing home into the anti-Japanese team. He also used his own family property to purchase a large number of guns and ammunition, recruited people, and resisted the Japanese together.
From this point of view, Dai Wanling is completely a righteous soldier, obviously he can be a rich man and live a life easily, but between the small family and everyone, he resolutely chose the country, for the safety of the people, and took his family to the war.
After the reorganization of the team, Dai Wanling's single team has been fighting guerrillas with the enemy in the lofty mountains and mountains, cutting off the supply line of the Japanese army's logistics many times, causing heavy damage to the Japanese army.
Later, Dai Wanling attacked Dunhua County with his men and horses, but due to the rush of several nearby Japanese strongholds, Dai Wanling and his National Salvation Army team were forced to withdraw in the face of fierce enemy fire.
After the Battle of Dunhua, the Japanese army frantically swept through the local area and sent people to Dai Wanling's home, burned his house with fire, and carried out a massacre in the local village to vent his hatred.
During the withdrawal of the troops, Dai Wanling's troops were besieged by puppet troops, and Wang Delin was forced to flee to the Soviet Union with his wounded in the current situation. Dai Wanling vowed not to flee, desperately broke through, and led the remaining troops into the Chai Shirong Brigade of the Fifth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, who was also one of the leaders of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army who later became famous.
At the end of 1937, due to the shortage of anti-Japanese materials, Dai Wanling was ordered to secretly return to Dunhua to collect grain and money. Unfortunately, due to the betrayal of the traitors, Dai Wanling, who returned to Dunhua, was soon arrested by the Japanese army. The Japanese army tortured him to extract a confession, hoping to force him to tell him the information of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, Dai Wanling vowed to die and was killed by the cruel Japanese army at the age of 66.
When his six sons heard the news of Dai Wanling's sacrifice, they were filled with grief and indignation, which also strengthened their determination to resist the Japanese Kou, turned their grief and indignation into strength, and threw themselves into the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance.
In 1935, the boss, Dai Keqin, served as the company commander of the Anti-Allied Forces. He was wounded in the leg during an anti-Japanese battle and died of illness shortly after returning to his hometown.
The second elder Dai Kejian and the fourth Dai Kezhi died in the Battle of Ning'an, in order to cover the retreat of the large army, they fought bravely with the Japanese Kou and died of several shots.
After his father fell into enemy hands, he took several comrades to rescue his father, was killed by the Japanese army, and died in the battle of Shaheyan Village in 1937.
The fifth elder lurked far into the Japanese army and passed on intelligence within the Japanese army, but the matter was revealed and he was killed by the Japanese army.
The sixth elder Deke Zheng can be said to have died the most heroically among his brothers.
In 1938, Dai Kezheng was ordered to fight in the middle of xiaotuan Mountain, and he led dozens of warriors to engage hundreds of Japanese soldiers for several hours, and finally lost outnumbered and died tragically. During a search by the enemy, he found his regimental commander's card, and the Japanese army vented his hatred for the long-dead Tekjong with several stabs, at the age of 23.
Summary: Dai Wanling's family can be said to be full of loyal martyrs, they are the iron-boned Chinese boys, in the face of the enemy's aggression, they are unyielding and indomitable, although their deeds may not be popular, but their anti-Japanese spirit is heroic and lasting.
