In the work of the troops, he was both intelligent, courageous, versatile, good at doing ideological and political work, giving play to the power of political work, significantly enhancing the ideological and political consciousness of the vast number of commanders and fighters, and making contributions to the liberation of the Asan area by completely eliminating the diehard troops in collusion with the Japanese and the Koso. After his sacrifice, the Jiaodong Office decided to name the Dayuzhuang District, where the martyr's hometown was located, Yucun District. He was Miao Yucun, political commissar of the 5th Brigade and 15th Regiment of the Jiaodong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army in the third batch of famous anti-Japanese heroes and heroes.

In 1934, he was admitted to Qingzhou Township Division. During miao yucun's school years, he achieved excellent results in various subjects, especially in composition and painting classes. He read a large number of Marxist books such as Capital and The Communist Manifesto, and was always concerned about the future and destiny of the country. Miao Yucun wrote the composition "Do not be a slave to the country, resolutely resist to the end", deeply impressed the teachers and classmates, was posted by the teacher on the school poster board, attracted the attention of the school's underground party organization, in 1936, he was developed into the Chinese Communist Party's peripheral organization of the Chinese National Liberation Vanguard (referred to as "Minxian"), since then Miao Yucun more actively participated in various anti-Japanese national salvation propaganda activities, becoming the backbone of the "Minxian".
After graduating from the township teacher in 1937, Miao Yu Village was arranged by the party organization to teach and teach at Weihai Middle School. In January 1938, he actively participated in the Weihai Uprising organized by the Jiaodong Special Committee, and soon organized and launched an armed uprising at The Liuxiang School in Rongchengbu province together with other comrades. The uprising team was organized into the Eighth Brigade of the Third Road Headquarters of the Third Army of the Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, with Liu Guozhu as the chief of staff and captain of the headquarters, and Miao Yucun as the political commissar of the brigade. On February 13, he participated in the battle to capture Muping Castle.

In December 1938, the unit was incorporated into the fifth detachment of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army. Soon, Miao Yucun officially joined the Communist Party of China. He successively served as the political instructor of the three companies of the first battalion of the Sixty-first Regiment, the political commissar of the Eighth Brigade, and the editor-in-chief of the Soldiers' Weekly. In May 1939, the 1st Battalion of the 61st Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 64th Regiment, where Miao Yucun was located, attacked more than 1,000 enemy soldiers stationed in the ancient town of Qixia, and won the first battle. On May 26, Miao Yucun's troops reinforced the friendly forces attacking Laiyang City, and after a night of fierce fighting, drove the enemy out of the city, and most of the fleeing poor Kou were annihilated.
Anti-Japanese song "Anti-Surrender"
When Miao Yucun edited the "Soldiers Weekly" in the political department of the five detachments, the newspaper was rich in pictures and texts, and was once known as a military writer and painter. The last five detachments were reorganized into the Fifth Brigade, and Miao Yucun successively served as deputy secretary general and secretary general of the brigade's political department, assisting the chief in handling daily affairs and giving advice, becoming one of the chief's think tanks, and was once known as "Little Zhuge Ge". In the following two years or so, the troops led by Miao Yucun won many battles, killing the enemy and disarming the weapons, and countless weapons were innumerable. In 1940, Miao Yucun served as the director of the political office of the 14th Regiment of the Fifth Brigade and the deputy political commissar of the regiment. During the period of anti-surrender, the commanders and fighters of the regiment were highly emotional, brave in combat, and strong in combat effectiveness, and they were inextricably linked to the outstanding ideological and political work in MiaoYu Village.

In the spring of 1941, in the anti-stubborn campaign in Jiaodong, the 14th Regiment exerted the power of political work to completely eliminate the diehard troops called anti-Japanese and actually colluded with the Japanese and Kou, and made contributions to the liberation of the Asan area. From the autumn of 1941 to the spring of 1942, the Fourteenth Regiment won a victory in the anti-"sweeping" in the Dazeshan area of Pingdu County. In May 1942, Miao Yucun led his troops to remove the enemy and puppet strongholds in Twenty Mile Fort in Qixia County, and opened up the connection between the two liberated areas in the East and West Seas.

At the same time as the victories and victories were frequently reported, Miao YuCun's reputation for wisdom and courage and versatility also quickly went away in the enemy and our two districts: "Miao Yu Village, Sai KongMing, where to command, where to win." In 1942, he was appointed Acting Political Commissar and Director of the Political Office of the Fifteenth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade.
Blood sprinkled on the battlefield shines brightly
The louzizhuang (now part of Nancun Town, Pingdu City) southeast of Pingdu was established in May 1942 by the Lengguan Rong Department of the Pseudo-Pingdu Security Second Regiment. A 4-meter-high polder wall was built around the village, and a trench 3 meters deep and 5 meters wide was dug outside the wall, and 8 bunkers and 16 watchtowers were built above the polder wall. There are two doors, east and west, and a wooden suspension bridge is built above the trench outside the door, and a machine gun is prepared at the head of the bridge. A battalion of the Lengbu was stationed in the stronghold. After the establishment of this stronghold, the defending enemy often went out to grab grain and seize Ding, arrested the PARTY and government personnel of the Communist Party of China, and sabotaged the anti-Japanese organization, which was a nail wedged into the South China Sea and the anti-Japanese base area in the West Sea, and the threat was extremely great.
In order to remove this nail, the Jiaodong Military Region decided that the Fifteenth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, together with the Southern Naval Sub-district, would conquer it within a time limit and strive to completely annihilate the enemy.
In August 1942, according to the instructions of the Jiaodong Military Region, Xiao Jinghai, deputy commander of the South Naval Sub-district, Liu Suxian, political commissar, Wang Kuixian, commander of the 15th Regiment of the Fifth Brigade, and Miao Yucun, acting political commissar and director of the Political Office, participated in the study of combat deployment, and decided to hide the troops in the area of Hetou and Waziqiu on the 24th, block the news, and on the 25th the enemy unexpectedly launched a general offensive.
At 9:00 p.m. on August 25, according to the predetermined plan, three infantry companies and a cavalry regiment attacked from the east gate as the main attacking force, and the feint troops opened the door through the enemy detective captain at the west gate, so that the Eighth Route Army successfully broke into the polder, advanced east and west, and quickly destroyed the defending enemy battalion headquarters and the ninth and twelfth companies. After two hours of fierce fighting, most of the defending enemies, except for a few enemies such as the battalion commander, escaped from the southeast corner, and the battle ended in victory. Unfortunately, during the battle, Miao Yucun was pushed down the trench pontoon bridge by the enemy hiding around him and died heroically.

After the sacrifice of Miao Yu Village, the Jiaodong Military Region held a memorial meeting, and the Jiaodong Administrative Director's Office decided to name the district where the martyr's hometown was located as Yucun District, and the village where he was born was named MiaoYu Village. Driven by the influence of Miaoyu Village, many relatives and friends in their hometown embarked on the road of revolution. His younger brother Miao Peilan later became a political commissar of the railway soldiers, and after retirement, he created a revolutionary novel "Red Maple Leaf" based on the real deeds of his brother's death on the battlefield.
On the eve of commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Miao Peilan emotionally told the officers and men of the People's Liberation Army who came to visit him: It has been more than 70 years since his brother sacrificed, and the party and the people have not forgotten him! No matter who he is, as long as he makes great contributions to the party, the country, and the people, and does not hesitate to sacrifice himself, the party, the country, and the people will never forget, will always miss you, and will always live in the hearts of the people!
