I believe that everyone has seen the TV series "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", it should be said that "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" is the childhood memory of many of our 70s and 80s, Zhang Ga is a child from Baiyangdian in Baoding, Hebei Province, who became a guerrilla of the Eighth Route Army at a young age, although he is very young, but Zhang Ga is a small ghost, which makes The Japanese soldiers really want to go crazy.
However, what many people don't know is that the small soldier Zhang Ga has a real prototype in history, but most of us don't know the truth, and his prototype is Yan Xiufeng, the "first-class combat hero".
Yan Xiufeng was born in 1924 in the small village of Houwangyue Village, Baiyangdian, Hebei Province, when he was 5 years old, his parents died, fortunately, the villagers in the village sympathized with him, so everyone supported him together, that is to say, Yan Xiufeng grew up with a hundred meals in the village, and the name Gazi was actually obtained by the villagers for him.
However, more than ten years later, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, and at that time, in order to completely eliminate our anti-Japanese troops, the Japanese army ordered a sweep of the plains, and then implemented a crazy three-light policy, it can be said that the days at that time were very miserable, at that time Yan Xiufeng personally experienced the brutality of the Japanese army, although Yan Xiufeng was still young at that time, but he had an incomparably hateful heart for the Japanese army.
At the age of 13, Yan Xiufeng joined the local anti-Japanese guerrillas, at that time he was a traffic officer, don't look at Yan Xiufeng, although he is young, but he is a ghost, and the courage is very big, every time he makes the Japanese army very angry, of course, at the beginning, Yan Xiufeng's guerrilla group can not fight with the Japanese army head-on, after all, people are regular troops, and the weapons are good, and the guerrillas do not even have a few decent guns, so the frontal battle is undoubtedly looking for death, the best way to do this is to harass the Japanese army.
In 1940, when Yan Xiufeng accepted a very resolute task, this task can be said to have no return, but Yan Xiufeng was fearless, and the task of the superior at that time was to let Yan Xiufeng take a few comrades to hoe the traitor, this traitor was the pseudo-army commander Dong Batian, as soon as he heard this name, he knew that he was a traitor at that time!
In order to smoothly blend into the city, Yan Xiufeng several people disguised themselves, but at the beginning it was very unlucky, was found by a few Japanese troops a hint of clues, for this reason began to search, but Yan Xiufeng is indeed very ghostly, he began to cry, after all, he was still young at that time, crying can still play a certain role in confusing.
However, several Japanese soldiers were still very cautious, and did not let yan Xiufeng cry because of it, but prepared to take Yan Xiufeng and several people to the turret, in fact, they had already indirectly announced the death of several people in Yan Xiufeng.
At the moment when death was approaching, Yan Xiufeng chose to strike decisively, killing a Japanese army with one shot, and then began to flee in a chaotic manner, in the two years from 1943 to 1944, Yan Xiufeng killed at least 100 traitors and Japanese soldiers, in addition to many other credits.
In 1944, due to Yan Xiufeng's outstanding achievements in the anti-Japanese resistance, he was awarded the title of 'First Class Combat Hero'. In May 2010, the old hero Of Yan Xiufeng, the prototype of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", died at the age of 86.
