Many small people have some extraordinary deeds, there is such an old farmer, he is a small person under the Middle Strip Mountain, but he is doing a thing worthy of everyone's respect.
Mt. Nakajō
While the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was still going on, the Japanese army secretly mobilized 250,000 troops and ravaged the Zhongtiao Mountains in an attempt to wipe out the Chinese defender J on the north bank of the Yellow River. After the battle began, Tang Huaiyuan, commander of the Chinese defenders' 3rd Army, led the soldiers to a fierce duel with the Japanese army, and after one day and one night, the situation changed, and the Japanese army took the opportunity to divide the 3rd Army into two parts.
Commander Tang
With no reinforcements and no friendly troops, Tang Huaiyuan could only retreat while fighting, looking for opportunities to break through bitterly, and after five days, Tang Huaiyuan's troops had broken through to the vicinity of the county mountain, but the enemy encountered was several times more than his own manpower, and the breakthrough fell into despair. When there was no hope of breaking through, Tang Huaiyuan told the three division commanders under him in despair: If it is not successful, it will become a ren, the Chinese army has no untaken division commanders, only the dead division commanders, and the 3rd Army will never open this head.
Tang Huaiyuan and his soldiers fought to the death with the Japanese army, because the manpower disparity was too large, all three times were defeated, the soldiers also died one after another, Tang Huaiyuan fell into despair in the heavy rain and mud, and chose to martyr the country in desperation, a few days later, Yang Jiyu, the commander of the heavy battalion, took the common man Zhang Yongxin, cat climbed to the mountainside, and buried the tang commander there.
When Yang Jiyu left, he left Zhang Yongxin with a piece of ocean, hoping that he could temporarily help take care of the military commander's body, and soon he would come back to take the military commander's body back for burial.
Zhang Yongxin was a peasant, a small commoner, but he was also a man, with natural blood and backbone, in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, he also contributed his strength, carried ammunition to the defenders, and also took up weapons and directly fought with the devils.
Zhang Yongxin pushed aside the ocean in Yang Jiyu's hand, and he said: "It is my honor to guard the body of the military commander, please rest assured that the battalion commander will definitely look forward to the body of the military commander!" ”
But Yang Jiyu never came back after this trip, and the villager Zhang Yongxin never forgot the promise of that day, he stayed by the military commander's grave for ten years, waiting for the military commander's descendants to come, and this guard was exactly 40 years.
For a long time, Zhang Yongxin also went to the town and the county many times to inquire about the news of Yang Yingchang, but he did not see Yang Yingchang return for decades, and Zhang Yongxin was also grayed by the years.
Buried in the bones of that year
Until 1988, the 80-year-old Zhang Yongxin, the elderly, told his children and grandchildren that his only regret in his life was that he did not let the body of Commander Tang return to his hometown, and he was sorry for Commander Tang, and he was even more sorry for Commander Yang's temporary instructions.
In order to let the 80-year-old leave no regrets, the Zhang family spent a lot of time and energy to find help from various departments and organizations. Finally, with the help of everyone, the Zhang family finally found out the news and wrote a letter to inform Tang Bohua, the son of Tang Junchang.

But Tang Bohua had died, and the letter was eventually transferred to Tang Boya's daughter, Tang Jiayin, who borrowed the letter and shed tears of excitement, because they had also been looking for 40 years.
On August 26, 1988, Tang Jiayin, her husband Li Yuanbiao and many others went to Zhongtiao Mountain together and met the great benefactor of the Tang family, Zhang Yongxin, an old man who had guarded their relatives for 40 years.
The situation at the time of the relocation of the burial in that year
The appearance of the Tang family put down Zhang Yongxin's only concern in this life, and on the day he greeted the Tang family, he wore new clothes that he was usually reluctant to wear, and also took a group photo with the Tang family and his party.
It is everyone's wish that the hero's soul can return to his hometown, and after all the approvals, on April 5, 1990, the body of Commander Tang was laid to rest and moved to the Martyrs' Cemetery in Jiangchuan County, Yunnan Province, for burial.
General's Tomb
Zhang Yongxin's greatest wish in this life was fulfilled, and on the day of the relocation of the grave, Zhang Yongxin finally couldn't help but cry loudly, which was the Tang Military Commander he had guarded for 40 years, and the 40-year guardian responsibility ended on this day. Let go of the worries in his heart, but also do not give up this feeling.
