In literature such as "The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Huaibei" and "The Age of Anti-Japanese Beacons", it is mentioned that jiang Fucai, an anti-Japanese hero who killed countless enemies but was little known.
In the summer of 1940, Peng Xuefeng, commander of the sixth detachment of the New Fourth Army, led his troops into the territory of Guoyang County, Anhui Province. Many local people heard that the New Fourth Army was a unit that fought devils, and they came to sign up for the army.
There was a young man named Jiang Fucai, who was only 19 years old at the time, and also became a recruit in the six-detachment guard company.
His parents and two sisters died tragically at the hands of the Japanese army, so his purpose of joining the New Fourth Army at the beginning was very clear, that is, to kill more devils to avenge his relatives.
Although he was eager for revenge, within a few days of joining the army, he began to have deep doubts about whether he was suitable for the army. The reason is that he had big trouble practicing shooting.
Jiang Fucai had a pair of large and energetic eyes, but he didn't know why, he always couldn't aim at the target with a gun.
The platoon leader observed several times and found that Jiang Fucai's eyes were either open at the same time or closed at the same time, or there was no way to close them one by one. Don't say that hitting the bullseye tens of meters away, even if you put a large pumpkin a few meters in front of him, he may not be able to hit it.
A month later, among the same batch of partners who joined the army with Jiang Fucai, the good performance had begun to participate in small-scale battles, and Jiang Fucai could only practice the basic skill of aiming on the training ground every day.
For a time, Jiang Fu, a recruit who could not be fired with a gun, became the laughing stock of the entire company.
Jiang Fucai's heart was of course very painful, and he hated himself deeply: Why can't he even learn the simplest aim? If you have a gun that won't work, how do you go to the battlefield to kill the devil? How to avenge the death of a loved one?
Jiang Fucai is a very introverted person, because he is blinded by hatred, he is unwilling to communicate with people, but let him do an extreme thing.
During another training, Jiang Fucai still couldn't aim at the target, and the platoon leader said a sentence on the gas head: "You melon baby, after studying for so long, you can't learn to shoot, you can't be a soldier, or go to the cooking class!" ”
Logically, the platoon leader is not to blame for saying this, after all, this is also a reasonable arrangement. However, Jiang Fucai could not accept this arrangement, he only wanted to go to the battlefield as soon as possible to avenge his relatives, how could he be willing to become a "gang leader"?
The more Jiang Fucai thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but have a thought: Since my two eyes always have one obstacle, then I only have one eye, can't I aim at the target?
At the end of the day's training, he took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, and he stabbed himself blind in the left eye with a bayonet.
When Jiang Fucai appeared in front of everyone with his bloodshot eyes, the comrades-in-arms also thought that he had been plotted by the enemy, some screamed "ready to fight", and some shouted "Quickly find a military doctor to save people.".
Jiang Fucai said calmly and calmly, "Nothing, I blinded myself, just bandage it." ”
When the platoon leader learned from the military doctor that Jiang Fucai's left eye could not be saved, on the one hand, he fell into a deep sense of guilt, on the other hand, he was deeply moved by Jiang Fucai's determination to avenge his relatives, so he let him recover from his injuries and then return to the team.
What everyone did not expect was that Jiang Fucai did use the self-destruction method to solve the chronic disease of not being able to aim, and soon learned to shoot after returning from injury, and after practicing hard day after day, he practiced a good marksmanship.
Jiang Fucai on the training ground can be said to be mighty, not only can easily hit the stationary target at a distance, but also accurately hit mobile targets such as birds, not to say that it is a hundred shots, but also the most accurate person in the entire six teams.
After practicing his marksmanship, Jiang Fucai went to the battlefield as he wished, and in many battles, he was almost full of bullets, plus he fought extremely bravely, so the number of Japanese troops who died under his guns increased.
A strong sense of revenge made Jiang Fucai never be soft in the face of the enemy, especially when he saw the Japanese army, he could kill and never leave a living mouth, and even made mistakes many times.
This also led to the fact that although Jiang Fucai had heroic performances and outstanding achievements in battle many times, and killed countless enemies on the battlefield, it was always difficult to evaluate and be rewarded, and he had never been promoted.
But in any case, Jiang Fucai's name was getting louder and louder, and at that time, the Japanese puppet army in the northern Anhui region knew that the New Fourth Army had such a one-eyed gunner, and all of them talked about discoloration.
In September 1943, the Japanese army launched an unprecedented "sweep" of northeast Anhui.
When the troops were suddenly attacked by the enemy, Jiang Fucai, in order to ensure the safety of the commander, took the initiative to ask the company commander for help, and single-handedly took up the heavy task of covering after the last pass.
He stood at the mouth of a cliff that allowed only one person to pass, set up his beloved rifle, and shot dozens of Japanese puppet soldiers.
After all the bullets on his body were exhausted, Jiang Fucai took out the last grenade, opened the lid and pulled out the lead, heroically pounced on the enemy group, and died with several Japanese troops.
Because Jiang Fucai's way of self-destruction was too extreme, and he did make many mistakes in the army, there were few reports about the deeds of this one-eyed eye gunman in our army (only recorded in historical materials such as "The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Huaibei" and "The Years of The Anti-Japanese Beacon"), so that he is still little known, but at that time, Jiang Fucai's shadow could be found in many folklore about the anti-Japanese resistance in northeast Anhui.
In any case, Jiang Fucai is always an iron-boned anti-Japanese hero, and his heroic name should not be buried.
