"Treating death as a return to the spirit of a revolutionary soldier, preferring to die unyieldingly is the glorious tradition of Yan Zhao heroes." Since ancient times, Yan Zhao has been a generous and tragic person, and their personality charm of sacrificing their lives for the sake of ideals and beliefs has affected generations of Chinese, and it is precisely with such heroes and heroes that our country and our nation can survive one disaster after another and continue civilization to this day.
There is a mountain in Yi County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, this mountain is lined with strange peaks, rugged and rugged, like wolf teeth, the name is Langshan, and it is now a 4A-level scenic spot in our country. The name Langshan is not familiar to many people, but to say its other name, I believe everyone knows, its other name is called Wolf's Tooth Mountain, which is related to five people and the revolutionary spirit of preferring to die.
"Wei Wei saves Zhao"
In 1941, the Japanese army swept around the Wolf's Tooth Mountain in order to eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces that were carrying out revolutionary work in this area at that time, and they encroached on our anti-Japanese base areas with a murderous "three lights" policy, creating one tragic case after another.
At that time, the Japanese army carried out barbaric revenge on the command organ in Tiangang Village, they sent more than 600 people to surround Tiangang Village, the village men, women and children did not let go, all tied up with ropes, one by one interrogation, but no one spoke, they used machine guns to shoot the men in the village to death, and then prepared to burn the women who were locked up, fortunately they broke through the windows and escaped, but the house property was all engulfed by the sea of fire.
On the night of May 4, more than 1,000 Japanese troops surrounded Donglou Mountain, causing heavy casualties to the party and the people, sacrificing more than 40 cadres below the section level and more than 20 villagers, and even the secretary of the Dingxing County Party Committee also died in this tragic case. This is the Dongloushan Massacre and the Tian gang Massacre.
On September 23, the Japanese army marched to Yi County in three ways, intending to encircle and suppress the first sub-district of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region led by Commander Yang Chengwu. On the 24th, 3,500 Japanese troops raided the Wolf-Tooth Mountain area, encircling more than 2,000 people in our party and the masses, and the situation was very grim.
In order to rescue these more than 2,000 people, Commander Yang formulated a plan of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao", sending troops to feint the Japanese army around Songshan, forcing a part of the Japanese army to return to defense and reduce the pressure on the Wolfa Mountain area, and then Commander Qiu Wei gave the task of covering the retreat of the masses in the Wolfa Mountain area to the 7th Company.
Under the brave fighting of the soldiers of the 7th Company, the Japanese army mistakenly thought that the entire regiment of the Qiu Wei Regiment was surrounded by them, so they attacked harder, in the fierce battle, many soldiers were wounded, and even the commander of the 7th Company was seriously injured, in order to cover the transfer of the wounded soldiers and the masses, so there is the story of the five heroes of Wolf's Tooth Mountain as we know it.
The Five Heroes of Wolf's Tooth Mountain
In order to cover the transfer of the crowd, the instructor Cai Zhanpeng left Ma Baoyu's sixth squad to stay firm, and before noon the next day, the Japanese army could not be allowed to cross the chessboard, and there were only five people left in the sixth class at that time, including the squad leader Ma Baoyu, the deputy squad leader Ge Zhenlin, and the soldiers Hu Delin, Hu Fucai, and Song Xueyi.
They did not hesitate in the slightest when they received the task, and they also knew in their hearts that this mission was a life of nine deaths, and they found a dangerous place called "Little Grimace" to block the enemy, the squad leader calmly and calmly commanded, and when the enemy approached, they gave the order to shoot, and the Japanese army fell one by one, thinking that it had encountered the main force of our army, so they attacked even more frantically.
Bullets and grenades, under the calm use of the six squads of fighters, harvested the lives of the Japanese army in a stubble, and also successfully blocked the pace of the Japanese army's advance, in the blink of an eye, the sun was about to set, and the transferred troops had already walked a long way, so Ma Baoyu led the six squads of fighters to retreat.
At a fork in the road, one was the direction in which the large troops were withdrawing, and the other was the road to the chessboard, and Ma Baoyu knew in his heart that even if they caught up with the large troops and returned to the team, the Japanese army would certainly catch up soon, so the large troops would face danger again, so in order to cover the large troops, the five of them resolutely chose the road to the chessboard.
The five men fought and retreated, and deliberately revealed their tracks to the Japanese army, the Japanese army has always thought that they are the main force, clinging to it, the five people ran out of bullets, the grenades ran out, they lifted the stone to smash, and finally the stone was also used up, and they also successfully completed their task.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, the squad leader said to the soldiers: "Comrades, we are all courageous Chinese, and we would rather die than surrender." So he dressed himself and jumped the first step off a cliff more than a dozen feet deep, followed by four warriors.
The five men's fearlessness to death deeply shocked the Japanese soldiers who prided themselves on being samurai, and it was only at this moment that they realized that the people who had fought with them for so long were not a large army at all, only five people, and the picture of them jumping off the cliff was deeply imprinted in the minds of every Chinese.
What happens to the five warriors after jumping off a cliff?
Exemplary warrior
This feat of leaping off the cliff will no longer be known to anyone except the five warriors and the Japanese army, and perhaps God will also preserve this terrifying battle and let their spirit inspire generations of Chinese, and two of the five people who jumped off the cliff survived.
The deputy squad leader Ge Zhenlin and the warrior Song Xueyi were lucky to hang on the branches of the tree, and after escaping from danger, they returned to the army, and the story of the five heroes of Wolf's Tooth Mountain was thus circulated, and the text "Five Heroes of Wolf's Tooth Mountain" that appeared in primary school textbooks many years later was changed from a copy titled "Five "Divine Soldiers on the Chessboard" at that time.
Commander Yang Chengwu personally put on the medal of "firmness and tenacity" on the surviving two, and posthumously regarded the three soldiers who died as "model soldiers", and posthumously regarded Hu Delin and Hu Fucai, who had died but had not joined the party, as communists.
Later, Song Xueyi went to work in the localities professionally, did not take credit for himself, and led the villagers of Beikong Village to work diligently and sincerely, which brought about tremendous changes in Beikong Village.
Heaven will not treat heroes badly, their deeds will eventually be remembered by the world, China's civilization continues for thousands of years and continuously, it is precisely because we have such heroes who are not afraid of death, who can throw their heads and spill their blood for the sake of our nation and our country, they dare to fight and dare to sacrifice, and the spirit they have handed down will eventually inspire generations of Chinese sons and daughters to fight for the prosperity of the motherland.
If a country wants to develop, it must be sacrificed, whether it is sacrificing life or sacrificing their own time and energy, in peacetime, what we can learn from the five heroes is that kind of fearlessness, personal life and death honor and disgrace compared with the entire country is really insignificant, understand them, we will understand those scientists who have devoted all their energy to the development of the country to bury their heads in research, the only reward they want may be the stability and prosperity of this country.
