In the War of Resistance Against Japan, many famous anti-Japanese generals appeared, including Xue Yue, Wang Yaowu, Li Zongren, Peng Dehuai, Yang Jingyu, and so on; some of them came from the Kuomintang and some from the Communist Party, and at the time of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the survival of the nation, they all made tremendous contributions to defending the country.
In fact, in addition to them, those officers and men at the grass-roots level also made indelible contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and they faced life and death several times, and their efforts were no less than those of famous generals, but they were doing different things in different posts.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, in the face of brutal struggles, casualties were often encountered, which was inevitable. In 1943, the detachment of the Eighth Route Army was surrounded by Japanese devils.
In the process of breaking through, the political commissar of the detachment was injured and fell to the ground, and when the ghosts were cleaning up the battlefield and replenishing the guns and knives of the dead Eighth Route Army soldiers, the two puppet troops found that a soldier of the Eighth Route Army was still angry, so they whispered in their ears: Don't move, you will leave in a moment.
Is this the case? Who was this Eighth Route Army, who was spared by the puppet army's men? Did he finally get out of danger? Let's take a look.
Breakthrough
This soldier of the Eighth Route Army, who was spared by the puppet army and saved his life, was named Qin Guang, and during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was a famous anti-Japanese general and made great contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In 1943, Qin Guang took up the post of political commissar of the detachment, and he had survived the death line many times, and the size of the injury was no less than a dozen times, but each time he was lucky.
In March 1943, Qin Guang himself led a team to break through from Guan County, when Qin Guang's troops were stationed in a village in Guan County, and the Japanese puppet army moved quickly, encircling the Eighth Route Army of Qin Guang's detachment.
The sentries probed the situation and reported to Qin Guang the situation of their troops, and the Japanese puppet army surrounded the village of Zhangliuzhao where they were stationed on three sides, and they used an iron barrel array (there was a Japanese puppet army every ten meters) to try to eliminate the Qin Guang detachment in Zhangliuzhao village.
In the face of the Japanese puppet army several times larger than his own, Qin Guang knew that the opponent wanted to kill himself, since he had been surrounded, the breakthrough was the only way, riding on the enemy had not yet found himself, the encirclement circle had not yet been shrunk to a very small size, taking the initiative to attack, hitting the enemy by surprise, and breaking out might be the best way.
Qin Guang decided to break through, and before breaking through, he gathered some of the detachment's management personnel and arranged corresponding tasks for them. Qin Guang decided to follow the southwest position outside the village, protruding into the deep ditch, and then breaking through from the south.
Since it is a breakthrough, all the personnel cannot go together, otherwise there will be a gun battle at the breakout, and several times that of their own enemies will move closer to the gun battle area, if the breakthrough personnel cannot stand out at once, the position of the breakthrough unit will be exposed, the enemy army will be pressed up, and the breakthrough troops will be completely destroyed.
After thinking about it, Qin Guang decided to break off himself and cover his teammates to break through first.
Qin Guang first let the second squadron break through, the first squadron covered, and then the first squadron protruded, and he stayed with a small number of backbones to buy time for the breakthrough of the first squadron. The plan has been decided, Qin Guang issued an order, execute!
The plan is planned, but the implementation of the breakout plan is not smooth. When Qin Guang's team first arrived in the Fanzhuang area, they found that a large number of Japanese puppet troops had already been ambushed there.
As soon as they fought, this group of Japanese puppet troops blocked the way for the detachment to break through, the location had been exposed, and Qin Guang knew that his team was in a bad situation and needed to break out quickly.
The breakthrough troops engaged the enemy, the enemy reinforcements came from the north and the south, the situation was very critical, if the breakthrough team could not protrude from the southeast, it could only be locked up in the iron barrel formation of the Japanese puppet army, waiting for the fate of being killed.
In order to preserve his strength and give more people a chance to stand out, Qin Guang decided to divide the troops into pieces and divide them into multiple detachments, allowing them to disperse and break through, so as to avoid enemy artillery fire and reduce casualties.
As a cadre of the Eighth Route Army, Qin Guang once again showed the courage of the Eighth Route Army not to be afraid of death and sacrifice at the moment of life and death, and left the opportunity to break through to his teammates.
Qin Guang broke through to the south with the second squadron, and the staff officer in the team broke through to the southwest with the first squadron, Qin Guang meant that he was entangled with the enemy in the south and covered the southwest team to break out.
This time, what awaited Qin Guang was the heavy troops in the south, and Qin Guang had no choice but to lead the team to charge the enemy.
wounded
The second squadron led by Qin Guang was already determined to die, and they charged forward one by one, some sacrificing themselves under the enemy's guns, some being hit by enemy artillery fire, and seeing that the fighters fell to the ground one by one, Qin Guang was also very sad.
The situation was very tense, Qin Guang took two grenades from the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers, and he shouted: Comrades, rush me. Then with a grenade in one hand and a pistol in the other, he jumped out of the trench covering his body and charged at the enemy.
Qin Guang rushed to a position thirty meters away from the enemy, he threw out the grenade in his hand, and the grenade exploded in the enemy's position, killing many enemies.
Just as he was about to continue charging forward and break through the siege, the enemy aimed at Qin Guang and shot, who was hit in the waist by an enemy shot, and he fell.
Qin Guang, who had been hit in the waist by a bullet, could not stand up and continue the charge, and most of the warriors who charged with Qin Guang were sacrificed, and fell on the road of the charge one by one.
Qin Guang didn't know where he was injured, whether he could still live, he first touched his head, and then touched his chest, and found that the wounds were not in these two places. So Qin Guang decided to pretend to be dead first, hoping to deceive the enemy and wait for the arrival of the support team.
The Japanese puppet army "won", they began to clean up the battlefield, the Japanese commanders spoke their Japanese, and the translators next to them were busy translating. Only to hear the interpreter shout:
"The imperial army said, put away the weapons and ammunition, and mend the guns and knives to the living eight roads!"
On the battlefield, it is more common to mend knives and guns, which is to fear that the enemy is not dead or pretends to be dead, and wants to escape the disaster. The Japanese army is also very cruel, not only to repair the knives of our soldiers, but also to repair the knives at the time of the massacre, to the innocent masses, for fear of not killing clean, exposing their cruel behavior.
Receiving the order of the Japanese commander, the small soldiers of the Japanese puppet army began to clean up the battlefield, and on the battlefield, they mended their knives and guns to the people lying on the ground, and took the weapons along, which was a process of cleaning up the battlefield.
Qin Guang, who had fallen to the ground, heard the enemy's footsteps getting closer and closer to him, and a young puppet soldier saw that Qin Guang had a pistol in his hand and wanted to take it away. Inadvertently, the young puppet soldier found that Qin Guang was still alive and angry.
The young puppet army that was uncertain for a while carefully told the old puppet army next to qin guang that he was still alive. When the old puppet army heard this, he told the young puppet army not to panic, and slowly walked towards Qin Guang with his bayonet, and he wanted to go to see Qin Guang.
Although Qin Guang was injured at this time, he was still awake, and when he saw two puppet soldiers coming, he whispered:
"Everyone is Chinese, Chinese don't fight Chinese."
The old puppet army was still sensible, and he also witnessed the bravery and pride of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield, and after listening to Qin Guang's words, he did not mend his sword or gun to Qin Guang, but only whispered to Qin Guang:
"Don't move, we'll leave in a minute."
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army next to them, the two puppet soldiers took the pistol in Qin Guang's hand, so that they could hide their eyes and ears and let everyone know that the Eighth Route Army was dead, and they took the pistol of the Eighth Route Army and could also ask for credit.
The two puppet soldiers did indeed speak their minds, and did not report Qin Guang, and after waiting for a long time, the Japanese puppet army team withdrew, and Qin Guang was seriously injured, but he still struggled to stand up, endured severe physical pain, and looked at the nearby fighters. Unfortunately, more than sixty warriors were alive with Qin Guang himself.
Qin Guang walked out of the battlefield, and with the help of the villagers, he found his troops, where he met the commander Ma Benzhai. Ma Benzhai learned that Qin Guang was seriously injured and immediately arranged for personnel to take him to the field military hospital overnight, where he was treated.
Under the treatment of the field military hospital, due to the limited level of technology, the shrapnel in Qin Guang's body could not be removed for a while, but he had to immediately seal the wound for him, so the shrapnel could only remain in Qin Guang's body.
It was not easy to pick up a life, Qin Guang had experienced nine deaths and lived down. This was not the first time That Qin Guang had been in distress, he had been in danger many times before, but this time it was the most dangerous one, and he almost confessed his life on the battlefield.
Although Qin Guang had a lot of shrapnel on his body and often had pain, he had a good mentality and often said to others: "I have a steel and iron bone installed on my body, which is very strong." The others laughed at him, and laughed at himself.
Founding Colonel
Qin Guang was in danger many times in his life, but he could always survive each time, which was really a miracle. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qin Guang was awarded the founding colonel for his outstanding military achievements, which can also be regarded as an affirmation of his military achievements during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the rank of colonel is the honor that Qin Guang deserves.
All his life, Qin Guang fought against the enemy on the battlefield; he escaped the Japanese, he evaded the Kuomintang troops, he escaped the Americans during the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In 1955, Qin Guang, who returned from the Korean battlefield, was awarded the rank of colonel and received the medals of "Independence and Freedom" and "Liberation", and was received by Chairman Mao, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and other leaders.
Although Qin Guang's body is scarred, he is one of the few revolutionary heroes who started from the Long March period and is still alive in the 21st century. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qin Guang served as the director of the Hebei Material Reserve Management Bureau and other positions, and died of illness on April 9, 2019, at the age of 102.
Nowadays, the reason why our lives are stable and happy is that Qin Guang's efforts are precisely because revolutionary fighters like Qin Guang carried the burden for us during the war and worked hard to create such a peaceful and prosperous world.
Where there are good years, it is just someone who carries the weight for us
