How do battle heroes understand that? It can be referred to Dong Cunrui, Huang Jiguang, and Wang Cheng, who can almost reverse the existence of a large battle ending with the strength of almost one person. Or a special operation that puts a large-scale army group operation in an extremely advantageous position, and can also be called a combat hero.
Every anti-Japanese veteran is a treasure of the Chinese nation, and they relied on their bodies to fight the invaders to the death and made great sacrifices to drive the Japanese out of our country.
In the confrontation with the enemy, many Chinese soldiers fell, and only a very small number of people survived. These veterans who were lucky enough to survive the war, as long as they are well known and understood, will be admired by thousands of people, after all, they are national heroes.
However, there was an anti-Japanese hero who could not prove that he was an anti-Japanese veteran because he had lost the file on proving his identity, and could only point to the photos in the museum and say: This is me.
First, the wish of the whole time
There is a 90-year-old man in Shanxi named Hao Zhiquan, his identity is not only an ordinary old man, but also an anti-Japanese hero, he has said the most words is: want to prove his identity, to prove to everyone that he has beaten the devil.
Why was he so desperate to prove his identity? It turned out that it was because his file was lost, and he could not prove his identity by his words alone. It doesn't matter how he lost it, what matters is the archives themselves, and without the information, there is no evidence that he experienced war.
After Hao Zhiquan retired from the army, his life in his later years was not smooth, and after he heard that the anti-Japanese hero could get government subsidies, he planned to apply for government help, but he was rejected. Because he has no information to prove his identity, for a veteran of the War of Resistance who has fought Japanese devils and experienced hundreds of battles, this is undoubtedly the most sad for him.
He obviously threw his head and spilled his blood for the motherland, but he was not recognized just because he did not prove it. So in the time that followed, Hao Zhiquan did not give up, has been actively trying to prove himself, at this time he no longer wants subsidies, there is only one thought in his heart, that is, to tell everyone that he was once a Chinese soldier.
The appeal reached the age of 90, but unfortunately it has never been successful, and then it has finally attracted the attention of many people. A reporter interviewed Hao Zhiquan and asked him why he was obsessed with his identity, and his answer was that he only wanted to prove that he had been a soldier.
Hao Zhiquan's life is very poor, he is old, he can't take care of himself, and he has a wife who is a year older than him, and two old people who are nearly 100 years old, living a life of dependence. Originally, he had a son, but he joined the army like him and died unexpectedly during a mission.
After solving Hao Zhiquan's experience, many caring people in society decided to help Hao Zhiquan find his former identity. So someone asked Hao Zhiquan if he had left any evidence, such as photos and other things.
Hao Zhiquan said that he was fortunate to take a photo, but it was taken away by the superior leaders, and later the benevolent people finally found it in the Yushe County Museum after many trips, and found a photo of Hao Zhiquan when he was a soldier. After Hao Zhiquan saw this photo, he said to the photo that this was me
2. Heroic killing of the enemy
The photo was found, and of course Hao Zhiquan's identity was also proved, so he began to tell the crowd about his experience during the War of Resistance.
At the age of 16, Hao Zhiquan witnessed the atrocities committed by the Japanese in China, and he did not think much about it, and resolutely joined the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, determined to save the Chinese nation. Hao Zhiquan, who had just entered the battlefield, had no fear in the face of the fierce and brutal Japanese army, and took out his 100% courage to fight with the other side.
The momentum of not dying made the Japanese army look at it with fear, he killed countless enemies, repeatedly made battle achievements, and the better news is that in the second year of his joining the army, Japan surrendered. Then the Kuomintang Civil War broke out, and he threw himself into the civil war again, but unexpectedly, during the civil war, he met the Japanese again.
According to his recollection, during a battle with the Kuomintang, Hao Zhiquan was already the leader of the demolition team, and according to his recollection, he saw the faces of the Japanese, which was a unit composed of Japanese people, with very high combat effectiveness and surprising accuracy in marksmanship, causing heavy casualties to our army.
Japan has surrendered, so how can there still be Japanese troops in China? And why are they involved in China's civil war?
It turned out that this unit was a hole card prepared by Yan Xishan. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, the Kuomintang left a Japanese army in China for their use in case they needed to deal with the Communists. This Japanese army was professionally trained and was more effective than many Kuomintang troops.
Yan Xishan's treatment of them was also very high, almost any good weapons and equipment were given to them, and with the addition of this Japanese unit, the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang was indeed enhanced. Yan Xishan didn't really regard them as his confidants, but just regarded them as pawns with relatively strong combat effectiveness.
Third, the achievement of retirement
Later, this unit was also completely wiped out by our army, Yan Xishan lost his last trump card, and he knew that he was not far from being overthrown, and after a few months, the area under his jurisdiction was completely taken by our army.
After defeating the Japanese invaders, Hao Zhiquan should also enjoy his old age and live his own happy life, and after the war, he returned to his hometown and lived the same life as before he joined the army. After marrying a wife, living a simple and happy life, and not long after giving birth to a son, he felt that his life was complete.
If only the days had been like this, but unfortunately my son died when he grew up, and he was not eligible to receive the subsidy.
He once had a photo of himself with Hao Sancheng,but he was asked to leave by the local government on the pretext of collecting historical evidence, and later hung it in the museum, without any other documents.
At that time, their independent battalion was a legendary team, Hao Zhiquan was the battalion commander's personal guard, this photo was inadvertently taken between talking and laughing, and it was the only photo of him joining the army. After several moves, Hao Zhiquan could not find anything on paper to prove his identity except for the photo in the museum.
Fortunately, it has now attracted widespread attention in the society, and the identity of the veteran has also been proved in this photo, and he can finally mention to others in a fair and honest manner that he is a veteran of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression who has made great achievements and is full of honor.
4. Summary
Some people may think that it should not be difficult for the government to collect evidence, but in fact, it is just that it is simple, and the illiterate people in that era accounted for 80% or 90% could not even write their own names. After years of war, the Eighth Route Army has traveled all over the country, and the troops may be reorganized if they are crippled, and the personnel establishment is very chaotic.
And in that era, many people did not have a big name, only a small name, the name of the dog, the big black, the pillar, it was very difficult to check.
In addition, the file on identity proof cannot be kept for a long time, and sometimes betrayed by defecting comrades, and their status as a party member will be very dangerous. Sometimes in order not to expose the identity, you have to choose to burn the information yourself.
