The Battle of the Hundred Regiments is divided into 3 stages. From August 20, 1940 to September 10, 1940, the first phase was the central task of destroying zhengtai road traffic. From September 22, 1940 to early October 1940, the second phase was the main task of continuing to destroy the Japanese lines of communication and destroying the main japanese strongholds that penetrated deep into the anti-Japanese base areas. From early October 1940 to January 24, 1941, the third phase was the main task of countering the retaliatory "sweep" of the Japanese army.
On the night of August 20, 1940, the Hundred Regiments War officially began
。 Along Zhengtai Road, gunshots rang out, the fire that burned the railway reflected the red sky, and the signal flares turned into countless colorful flowers in the sky.
A large-scale offensive and anti-"sweeping" campaign launched by the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines in North China was called the "Battle of the Hundred Regiments" because of the 105 regiments participating in the battle.
The night of the war
Yang Chengwu of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region was the first to play Kai. Yang Chengwu's mission was to capture the Jingxing Coal Mine. After receiving the battle order, Yang Chengwu immediately led the central column to advance towards the Jingxin Coal Mine.
On the night of August 20, Yang Chengwu and his troops quietly drove to the outskirts of the Jingxing Mine, which was only more than ten miles away from the Jingxing Coal Mine, where the electric lights were lit up, and at night, it looked as if it were a big city.
From time to time, the train full of high-quality coal rumbled past the railway, and Yang Chengwu looked at the distant train with hatred and scolded; "Tonight I will cut off your big suction vessel." He summoned Qiu Wei, the leader of the Three Regiments, and deployed the battle to attack the coal mine. The two then went forward to a small village a kilometer from the new mine, where they set up a command post.

Jingxing Coal Mine
, located on the north side of the Zhengtai Railway. The coal quality here is particularly excellent, not only can be coking, for the Northeast Anshan Iron and Steel Plant to make iron, steelmaking, but also can directly extract oil from it, is one of the largest coal-producing areas in North China.
After the Japanese invaded and occupied Northern China, in order to speed up the extraction of coal resources from the Jingxin Coal Mine, 20,000 laborers were captured from the occupied areas and a new mine was opened, so that the daily coal output reached 6,000 tons. The Japanese transported the coal to the Anshan Iron and Steel Works and the Shijiazhuang Refinery, where they made iron and steel or refined oil to meet the needs of the war. Chinese laborers were arbitrarily killed in the mine, and once the underground gas exploded, the Japanese manager ordered the mine to be sealed and the coal mine was saved, but more than a thousand Chinese miners under the mine were burned to death and suffocated.
To this end, Chinese laborers rose up in resistance and formed workers' guerrilla groups. The Japanese also strengthened their defenses, erected power grids, built pillboxes, and stationed an infantry squadron.

When the troops marched toward Jingxing, Yang Chengwu and Qiu Wei disguised themselves as peasants and arrived near the Jingxing Coal Mine for reconnaissance and chose a breakthrough. On the same day, that is, on the night of August 20, 1940, Yang Chengwu ordered the battalions of the three regiments to enter the attack position, and at 10 o'clock in the night, the attack began.
The main offensive task was carried out by three regiments and one battalion
。 The guerrillas in the mining area worked with the fighters to cut the transmission lines, and the new mining area was suddenly dark. Commander Lai Qingyao immediately led the whole battalion into the mining area quickly. The soldiers took out the basketball inner gloves they had prepared long ago, put them on their hands, raised their knives to cut the power grid, set up wooden planks, and the whole battalion of soldiers flipped through the power grid through the wooden planks, that is, the division of labor to raid the enemy bunker.
Pictured by Lai Qingyao
Since the enemy was unprepared, a battalion captured five enemy bunkers in succession. By this time, the ghosts of the bunker in the center of the enemy had awakened and fired fiercely with machine guns. Lai Qingyao ordered the four companies to conquer the bunker, and after the fourth company was ordered, it organized an explosive group, and under the cover of the machine guns of the whole battalion, Wu Hongxi, a soldier of the second spot of the company, raised his knife and rushed to the barbed wire and cut the barbed wire several times. But at this moment, the japanese machine gun bullet hit the grenade hanging on his body, causing an explosion, and Wu Hongxi was honorably martyred.
The first attack was frustrated
Lai Qingyao ordered the three companies that completed the containment task to join the attack. Shen Wanyu, the commander of the company, led the demolition team to take the lead in charging. The bullets of the enemy machine guns were like splashing water, blocking the charging road, and the demolition team attacked one after another, and suffered many casualties, but the demolition team led by Shen Wanyu finally approached the bunker, installed the explosives, pulled the lead, and the explosives "boomed" and exploded, and the bunker was blown up. The warriors rushed up and annihilated all the devils, but The company commander Shen Wanyu sacrificed his precious life.
The Wangshe New Mine, the east of the Jingxin Coal Mine, was captured by three regiments and one battalion
The Wangshe New Mine, the east of the Jingxin Coal Mine, was thus captured by three regiments and one battalion. Commander Lai Qingyao ordered the whole battalion to clean up the results of the battle, at which time the soldiers found that the station master's room of the new mine transportation coal railway hub station was burning in the sky, and cries were heard from inside. The warriors rushed into the house to find the deputy station master, Kiyotoshi Kato, seriously injured, and their two girls were crying in fright. Lai Qingyao ordered the fighters to take Kato and his wife to the hospital and the two Japanese girls to the column headquarters.
Subsequently, he arranged for sappers to blow up the reservoir, winch house, motor house, railway station, and railway bridge in the mine, demolished all the railways, erected sleepers, and burned all the tracks. Explosives, guns, tools, small lathes and other items that can be removed are all moved to the rear with the help of workers in the mining area.
When the first battalion captured the new mine, the second battalion also captured the Jiazhuang Artillery Tower as planned, and the third battalion inflicted heavy casualties on the headquarters of the Jingjing Coal Mine in the old mine of Gangtou.
The three regiments captured and demolished the new mine in Jingxing, so that the enemy could not produce coal for more than half a year, and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.

The news of the three regiments' capture of the Jingxing coal mine was quickly reported by Yang Chengwu to Nie Rongzhen, who ordered the commendation of the three regiments on the phone.
Yang Chengwu went on to report that the fighters had rescued two young Japanese girls at the Station in The New Mine in Jingxing, and that their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kato, had died of their injuries on the way to the hospital.
Nie Rongzhen thought about it for a moment and ordered Yang Chengwu on the phone: "The children are innocent, you sent them to me." ”
After handling this matter, Nie Rongzhen called again and asked Guo Tianmin, commander of the Right Column, "Did Niangziguan attack down?"
Guo Tianmin listened to the gunshots from Niangziguan and reported truthfully: "The attack is underway, and the problem will be solved before dawn." ”
Nie Rongzhen said trustingly, "Well, I am waiting for your good news." ”
The troops attacking Niangziguan were the Fifth Regiment of the Right Column of the Military Region, and they received instructions from Guo Tianmin and learned that the Central Column had captured the Jingxin New Mine, so they stepped up their attacks encouraged by this news of victory.
Figure 丨 Niangziguan is also known as Reize Pass
Make a brief account of Niangziguan:
NiangziGuan, also known as Weize Pass, is located in the southeast of Pingding County, Shanxi Province, and is the key to Shanxi and Hebei provinces, and has been an important pass since ancient times, and the place where soldiers and families must fight. Guankou was originally built in the early Tang Dynasty, when Tang Gaozu's daughter Princess Wenwu of Pingyang commanded 10,000 elite soldiers to assist Li Shimin, the King of Qin, in leveling the princes and unifying the world. Princess Pingyang was a female general, and in order to facilitate the march and fight, she organized a female army composed of women as a Weicheng unit. Later, in order to hold the key point of Shanxi and Hebei, Princess Pingyang and her husband Chai Shao built a city pass. Because the commander of the guards was the Princess of Pingyang, this pass was named Niangzi Guan, and Wei Ze Guan was not known to the world.
The terrain of Niangziguan is very dangerous, and when Cao Cao led his troops here during the Three Kingdoms, he felt the steepness of Niangziguan and wrote poems; "Going north to the Taihang Mountains, dangerous he weiwei." The sheep's intestines are bent, and the wheels are destroyed. The trees are he Xiaoser, the north wind is mourning; the bear is crouching at me, and the tiger and leopard are crying in the middle of the road. There are few people in Xiyan, and the snow falls on He Feifei..."
In October 1937, during the Battle of Xinkou, two divisions of the Japanese army were blocked by the Chinese defenders under Niangzi Pass, and the devils took eight days and nights of attack before occupying Niangzi Pass, but paid heavy casualties.
NiangziGuan can be described as a husband and wife, and a male pass that cannot be opened.
After the Japanese army captured Niangziguan, the fortifications of the original Niangziguan were strengthened
After the Japanese captured Niangziguan, they strengthened the fortifications of the original Niangziguan. Learning from the defeat of the Chinese defenders, they built four large bunkers on the top of the mountain next to Niangziguan, making Niangziguan and these bunkers horns each other. Stationed at Niangziguan was a garrison squadron of the Japanese Army's independent mixed fourth brigade regiment, and in order to discover the dangerous situation in time so that the defenders could prepare for battle in advance, the devils stationed some puppet troops in the village of Niangzi under guanxia.
The action of the right column attacking Niangziguan cannot be said to be ignorant of the devils. Lieutenant Ikeda Kameichi, the enemy chief of Niangziguan, also received a reconnaissance report on August 18, saying that thousands of communist troops were approaching Niangziguan, and Ikeda Kameichi did not believe that the Eighth Route Army without heavy artillery dared to attack Niangziguan, so he led most of the Japanese army to patrol out on motorcycles as usual.
Chen Zulin, the leader of the Fifth Regiment, and Xiao Feng, the political commissar, had already detected this situation, and when they led the team to the vicinity of Niangziguan, they only saw the lights flickering on the Niangziguan station of the Zhengtai Railway, and the village of Niangziguan was pitch black, and it seemed that the ghosts were unsuspecting. Chen Zulin and Xiao Feng faced each other, and when the attack time reached 20 o'clock, they ordered the attack. The second battalion of the Fifth Regiment immediately took advantage of the darkness of the night to touch the Niangzi Village, and unknowingly solved the puppet army in the village, and the regiment leader immediately rushed to the pass.
Figure 丨 Chen Zulin
Unfortunately, Lieutenant Kameichi Ikeda took a motorcycle back to Niangziguan Station along the railway at this time. Chen Zulin ordered, "Shoot! So several Czech machine guns immediately roared, and the devils were knocked down. Ikeda wielded his battle knife, and the overseer led the live devils to climb the mountain and enter the fortifications, so the closed devils machine guns and the machine guns in the bunkers on the mountain roared. The ballistic trajectories of a dozen machine gun bullets in the darkness intertwined into a red web of fire.
Chen Zulin and Xiao Feng supervised the charge, the enemy fire was very fierce, and casualties were inevitable. Chen Xiao made full use of the cover of the night darkness to lead the fighters to attack and advance, and after three hours of attack, the second battalion finally climbed to the top of the mountain, blew up the enemy's pillars with explosives, and swept the Japanese troops in the pass with machine guns on the top of the hill. Unable to resist, Ikeda escaped from the pass with the remnants and retreated to the Dragon King Temple on the west side of the pass to continue his resistance. The five regiments occupied Niangziguan and hung the national flag, which was at dawn on August 21.
Chen Zulin ordered the second battalion to monitor the remnants of the enemy who had retreated to the Dragon King Temple under the mountain, and the main force covered the sappers to blow up the railway bridge on the east side of the pass and cut off the telephone line under the pass. At this time, a column of military ranks rumbled forward, and the car was filled with japanese veteran officers and men, Chen Zulin estimated that the ghosts on the car were about a thousand or so, although they were veteran officers and soldiers, they were all armed. The military train came from the west, saw the railway bridge was bombed, and had to stop at Niangziguan Station. Determined to annihilate this group of devils, Chen Zulin ordered the second battalion to occupy the high mountain positions north of Hebei Village, Poti Village, and Chengxi Village on the north side of the military column.
Tu Shu Chen Zulin ordered a fierce sweep towards the Devil Scout Army
After the troops entered the position, Chen Zulin ordered: "Attack! So, the machine guns and rifles opened fire at the same time and swept towards the ghost army. The devils originally saw that there was no movement on the mountain, thinking that the Eighth Route Army had retreated, opened beer on the car, prepared to eat, and suddenly encountered fierce fire, only to understand that the Eighth Route Army had previously moved troops and was preparing to attack the military column. Under the command of the officers, the devils shot from the window with rifles, and most of the devils jumped out of the car and began to form a battle formation. But in the end it is the veterans, there is no structure, the action is slow. Chen Zulin was about to order his troops to charge, when the sound of the whistle of the car and the sound of machine guns came from the west of the pass. Chen Zulin raised his telescope to look at it, and it turned out that the armored train of the devil had arrived. After consultation between Chen Zulin and Xiao Feng, in order to avoid passivity, they ordered the demolition of the fortifications and the evacuation of Niangziguan.
Figure 丨 Xiao Feng
Chen Zulin and Xiao Feng's decision was very correct, they led the troops to attack Niangziguan only two companies of the second battalion of the regiment, and the other company was ordered to attack the Runhetan station.
Run-in Beach Station is a station on the Zhengtai Railway, located between Niangziguan and Chengjia Longdi. On the night of August 20, after wading through the Mian River, which had little traffic, the company attacked the Runhetan station with rapid action. As the soldiers were about to demolish the station facilities, a ghost army train suddenly came from the west, which was a special train for transporting soldiers, carrying more than 500 ghosts. They heard gunshots inside the station, so they drove straight into the station, jumped out of the car and launched a battle formation to attack the Eighth Route Army. This is a combat unit, well-formed, well-equipped, and originally in a state of combat alert, so the attack is extremely fierce. Soldiers of a company of the second battalion resisted stubbornly according to the station facilities, and due to the disparity in strength, the company had to withdraw from the station at dawn.
On the night of August 21, the company again attacked the station and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy. At this time, the devils had occupied the favorable terrain such as the station house and the water tower, and the fire was fierce, and the company had to withdraw from the station again. On this day, the heavy rain did not stop, the flood of the Mian River was surging forward, and the troops could not cross the north in vain, so they had to rely on the village of Runhetan to resist the attack of hundreds of elite Japanese troops. By the evening of the 23rd, the Japanese army increased its attack force and came in a big way, and the company ventured into the Cotton River, except for more than 20 fighters who were engulfed by the flood, most of them crossed the river to reach the north bank.
In the battle, when the Eighth Route Army of a company was suddenly attacked by the enemy's large troops, it fought calmly and tenaciously and heroically, killing and wounding more than 200 enemy troops. Guo Tianmin, commander of the Right Column, ordered the company to be rewarded, and reported the situation to Nie Rongzhen.
Since the start of the Great Destruction Campaign, Nie Rongzhen had been clutching the telephone in the command post and constantly issuing combat orders to the various columns. On the second day of the battle, good news kept coming, the central column captured the new mine of Jingxing, the right column captured Niangziguan, and Nie Rongzhen ordered the reward of meritorious troops.
At this moment, Yang Chengwu was ordered to send the two Japanese girls rescued to the command post. Two little girls, one big and one small, the small one was less than one year old, had been injured, the big one was five or six years old, the hair was cut short, Nie Rongzhen picked up the little girl, examined the injury, the doctor had bandaged the wound well, and then serenely asleep.
Nie Rongzhen was very satisfied, handed her to the doctor, and then pulled the older little girl and gave her a pear to eat. The little girl refused to pick up, and Nie Rongzhen remembered something and asked the guards to wash the pears with water.
The little girl took it and ate it, and Nie Rongzhen smiled: "The little guy pays attention to hygiene." Everyone laughed in unison.
Nie Rongzhen instructed the guards and doctors:
"Their parents are imperialist invaders, but the children are innocent, and you have to take good care of these two children, go to the nearby village and find a woman with milk and feed the little one." To do the work, it is said that it is my request, that our Eighth Route Army is humane, and that the masses understand. In addition, you first cook a pot of porridge and feed the children. ”
The warriors were feeding her porridge to eat.
The porridge was cooked, and the rice porridge gave off a seductive aroma, which was a rarity in the military district headquarters. Nie Rongzhen took the five- or six-year-old girl in her arms and fed her porridge.
Nie Rongzhen asked her what her name was through the interpreter while feeding, and the little girl said something, and the translator said, "She said, her name is Anzi." Nie Rongzhen nodded, "Yes, the Japanese girl's name is more than a mile." ”
Picture of Nie Rongzhen with the child
After feeding the porridge, the little girl developed a sense of closeness to this strange uncle, pulling Nie Rongzhen's breeches, inseparable, wherever Nie Rongzhen went, she followed. Nie Rongzhen also really liked this little girl, he took the little girl's hand and asked the people at the headquarters to take a group photo for them.
Although Nie Rongzhen liked Anzi, he understood that at present, the enemy was frequently swept up, and the troops were often transferred, and he could not take care of these two children.
Picture 丨 Nie Rongzhen sent away which two Japanese children
In addition, the child's parents are dead, but they will still have relatives in Japan, and it is better for the child to return to Japan than to stay in a foreign country, which can reduce some psychological pain, so he asked the headquarters to find a reliable fellow, prepared two baskets and a flat shoulder,
He sat down and wrote a letter to the headquarters of the Independent Mixed Eighth Brigade of the Japanese Kou garrison in Shijiazhuang:
Japanese officer commander soldiers:
The Japanese valves have violently invaded China, the war has lasted for four years, and the chinese and Japanese peoples have lost and wounded and are not known, and the displaced people do not know how many. The responsibility for such a tragic incident shall be borne entirely by the Sun Valve.
This time, our army attacked the Zhengtai Line, recaptured the East King's House, and brought two weak Japanese women. His mother unfortunately died in the gunfire, and his father was seriously injured when the mine was on fire, and after my treatment was ineffective, he unfortunately died. Yu Ling's young daughter, one daughter is only five or six years old, and one daughter is still in her infancy, as if she is helpless, and her feelings are very compassionate. After I took care of her, I sent someone back to me and asked her to be raised by her relatives, so that the innocent orphan daughters of the other generation would not fall into a foreign land and be buried in a ravine.
The Chinese and Japanese peoples have no vendetta, do not seek the dictatorship of the Japanese valve, and do not want to be vicious, while the internal conquest is violent, and the outside is creating war. As a result, the Japanese people are living in an uneasy life, living in difficulty, leaving their homeland, touching the flames, widows' wives, orphans' sons, and parents. As for the peaceful residents of China, they have even more wantonly burned and plundered, inhumanely, died and were injured in exile, and the pain was severe, which was an unprecedented catastrophe for the two major nationalities of China and Japan, and the evil crimes of the Japanese valve.
However, the Chinese people never regarded the Japanese soldiers and the people as enemies, so they persisted in resisting the war, vowed to die against the Japanese, and were forced to defend themselves against the Japanese invasion. And the invasion of China was not the will of the Japanese soldiers and people, nor was it just a threat to the Japanese. For the sake of the present, the soldiers and people of China and Japan should join hands to immediately oppose and eliminate such a criminal war, overthrow the Japanese warlords and chaebols, and strive for the true liberation, freedom and happiness of the two major nations, otherwise the Chinese and the people will be even more difficult, and the future of the monarchs will be unimaginable.
The spirit of internationalism of our Eighth Route Army is the most benevolent and righteous, and there is a beginning and an end. We must fight to the end for the survival of the Chinese nation and the eternal peace of mankind, and we must fight to the end against the barbaric and violent Sun Valve. If we hope that the emperor and others will suddenly awaken and join hands with the Chinese soldiers and the people to seek liberation, Japan will be very fortunate, and China will be very fortunate.
That's the way it is
well
Nie Rongzhen
August 22
After the letter was written, the fellow also came to me, a strong farmer in his forties.
Nie Rongzhen asked him to take the letter with him, pick up the two little girls, and return them to the Japanese army in Shijiazhuang. At first, the peasants refused, for fear of being killed by the Japanese army, but after Nie Rongzhen explained the mobilization, he agreed to take a trip to the enemy's nest for the Eighth Route Army.
The warriors had covered the two baskets with small quilts, and Nie Rongzhen put Anzi into one basket. Anko was reluctant and grabbed his breeches to come out.
Nie Rongzhen touched her head and coaxed, "Obedient, send you home, obedient." ”
The warriors took many washed pears and put them in baskets, and Anko grabbed a pear and ate it. The peasant grabbed the flat burden and asked Nie Rongzhen, "When the sun is high, I will get up." ”
Nie Rongzhen told him, "Be careful, don't throw the child down." At this time, a staff officer grabbed the camera and took this shot.
The peasants carried two children and entered the heavily guarded Shijiazhuang
The peasants carried the two children into the heavily guarded Shijiazhuang, and the enemy's Fourth Mixed Brigade accepted the letter and the children, and wrote a reply letter to Nie Rongzhen, thanking him for saving the Japanese girl.
Nie Rongzhen received a reply from the peasants, and when he learned that the Anzi sisters had returned to the Japanese military headquarters safely, he was relieved and worried about whether the Anzi sisters could return to Japan safely.
In the decades since, he has often thought about it, and has kept several photos that he and Yasuko took together.
Picture 丨 "Japanese girl, where are you?" article.
Forty years later, in 1980, when a Chinese journalist learned of this, he prepared to make a wish on Nie Shuai's behalf, so he published in the newspaper entitled "Little Girl of Japan, Where Are You?" article.
After the Japanese "Yomiuri Shimbun" news agency saw the article, it sent a reporter to look it up. They first found the surviving veterans of the mixed Fourth Brigade who had invaded the eastern section of the Zhengtai Line, that is, the Jingxing Coal Mine and Niangziguan, and judged that Anzi's hometown was about Kyushu based on the clues and archives they provided.
In Kyushu, they lined up women who were 45 or 6 years old at the time, and based on their surnames, relatives, and time of entry, they believed that Mihoko, who opened a department store in Kyushu, was most likely Yasuko. The reporters immediately interviewed Mihoko and asked her to recall the situation before and after returning to China.
Misaru, also known as Yasuko, was six years old at the time and had begun to understand things, and she remembered the general situation at that time. After returning to China, her relatives often talked about her experience, so she was deeply impressed by it. The reporters listened to her story and were absolutely certain that this was Yasuko. A reporter asked her, "Do you know who that Chinese soldier is?"
Misaru shook her head and said, "I don't know. The reporter told her: "He was nie rongzhen, the commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and the marshal of the Chinese People's Liberation Army." For forty years, he has been thinking about you. You see, he's been keeping pictures that are with you. ”
Mihoko took the Chinese newspaper and saw several pictures on it, one was taken by Nie Rongzhen holding her hand in the courtyard, the other was the scene of Nie Rongzhen bending down before sending them to Shijiazhuang, coaxing herself to eat pears, and the peasants who were holding flat shoulders and preparing to leave. A few Eighth Route Army soldiers laughing around them...
Mihoko cried excitedly. Mihoko returned to China and went to school, and when she grew up, she learned from many books about the serious crimes of the Japanese army in China.
But Nie Rongzhen, a commander of the Eighth Route Army in China, kept these photos in the years of war and chaos, thinking about their whereabouts, what a noble spirit!
News of Mihoko's finding spread rapidly in China and Japan, and Nie Rongzhen received many letters and gifts from all over Japan at once. Nie Rongzhen was also very relieved to learn that Anko, that is, Mihoko, was still alive. In the twilight years, the Japanese girl who had been thinking about it finally returned home safely, and Nie Rongzhen immediately wrote a letter inviting Mihoko to visit China.
Nie Rongzhen immediately wrote a letter inviting Mihoko to visit China
Mei Suizi and her husband were invited to visit China, and Nie Rongzhen immediately received them.
Mihoko saw Nie Rongzhen, the experience of forty years ago flashed through her mind, the uncle who held her in his arms to feed porridge was old, she cried and threw herself into Nie Rongzhen's arms: "Thank you for saving your life." ”
Nie Rongzhen patted her head like he did then, "Don't cry, this is what I should do." Our army will do this, determined by the proletarian character of our army, by the good virtues of the Chinese people. The soldiers of the three regiments who saved you at that time heard your cries and rushed into the fire to carry you out, and General Yang Chengwu immediately asked the military doctor to bandage your sister at the column command post. After you were sent, I looked at it and it was well bandaged. What about your sister?"
Mihoko was devastated: "After she was sent to Shijiazhuang, she immediately went to the hospital, and finally died of a small injury." ”
Nie Rongzhen sighed and said, "This account should be counted on the Japanese militarist account, they are in China, picking babies on bayonets for fun." ”
Mihoko said bitterly, "The veterans of the Fourth Mixed Brigade who participated in the battle on Shitai Road (正太路, which the Japanese call Shitai Road, the railway from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan) have repeatedly expressed to me that they are sorry for the Chinese people, and they are very sorry." ”
Nie Rongzhen nodded solemnly and said, "Let's turn the Japanese nation into a jade warrior, the Japanese nation is a hard-working and wise nation." May the peoples of China and Japan continue to be friendly from generation to generation and never see each other in arms. ”
Speaking of this, Nie Rongzhen asked Mihoko, "Your name is Mihoko, why did you say your name was Anko when I asked you?"
Mihoko replied, "I was young and didn't know what you were asking, but I just said that my mother was dead." In Japanese, the word dead sounds a lot like Yasuko. ”
Nie Rongzhen suddenly realized, "That's the way it is." When you come this time, you can go to some parts of China to see General Yang Chengwu, whose troops rescued you from the fire. ”
Mihoko said happily, "Thank you." ”
After Mihoko returned to China, the veteran soldiers of the Fourth Mixed Brigade who had participated in the Zhengtai Road Battle came to see her again, and Mihoko conveyed Nie Rongzhen's remark that "I hope that the chinese and Japanese peoples will continue to be friendly from generation to generation and will never see each other from war to war." A veteran who participated in the attack on the defensive position of the Chen Xilian Brigade on Shi'an Mountain said: "Nie Shuai is right, and the awakened Chinese people are not easy to provoke. That war was both a barbaric aggression against the Chinese people and an misfortune for the Japanese people, and many Japanese soldiers fell disgracefully on Chinese soil.
One is to express reverence and mourning for the martyrs, and the other is to use social rumors to blackmail. As mentioned in the text, there is no exaggeration, no imagination, and no fiction. Everything has its roots. The truth can be presented to the reader in order to restore the original appearance of history.
With this article, I would like to commemorate the martyrs of the glorious martyrdom and the heroes who gave their precious lives for the battle. Today's happiness is not easy to come by, do not forget the martyrs, forge ahead.
