In the 1990s, an old man welcomed an old friend who had been absent for a long time. However, with this old friend came an uninvited guest, a wealthy Japanese businessman.
When the rich Japanese merchant saw the old man, he asked straight away, "I heard that you hold a Japanese samurai sword, is that right?" The old man's seemingly dim-witted old eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence: "Yes, that's my booty." What's wrong? The rich Japanese merchant immediately changed into a hypocritical and respectful expression, and offered to buy the sword from the old man, and the price was 200,000 yuan. At that time, it was a huge amount of money. However, the veteran, who was not well off economically, flatly refused: "You just give me 1 million, it is all delusional!" ”
The veteran of the War of Resistance, who rejected the rich Japanese merchants, was named Hou Yongsheng, and the Japanese military sword in his hand was indeed a trophy captured by his own hands, and this sword was extraordinary. Next, we will carefully tell the legendary story of this veteran soldier and the Japanese military adjutant knife.
When we look at history as a posterity, we will think that the Japanese army in the summer of 1945 has become the end of the crossbow, but this is by no means the case. In the summer of 1945, the Japanese army entrenched in the Central Plains was still running amok, frequently dispatching troops to sweep up and harass the people in the occupied areas. In July 1945, on an ordinary summer evening, the Japanese troops entrenched in the county seat of Xun County, Henan Province, once again went out of the city to "sweep". What they didn't know was that there were several moving hard nails waiting to teach them a bloody lesson just outside the city gates.
This time, the leader of the Japanese army who led the "sweep" was named Sakamoto Yoshitaro, and his position was the commander of the squadron. This Sakamoto Yoshitaro may be because the Chinese army has not launched a substantial attack on the Japanese army in the past few days, and the first few "sweeps" have not encountered any organized resistance, perhaps because the people, as his name suggests, believe too much in their luck, and quite rashly take the lead, leaving the "sweeping" large army of nearly one hundred people in the rear, riding alone to enjoy the scenery of this "Great Japanese Empire" iron hoof. At this moment, only a gunshot was heard, and Sakamoto Yoshitaro rolled off his horse in response, and died on the spot.
The person who fired this shot was none other than Hou Yongsheng, a veteran mentioned above.
In this year, Hou Yongsheng was in his prime, and he was the backbone of the communist guerrillas in the Xun County area, and he was a superb marksmaniac who wore Yang with one hand. On the day that Sakamoto Yoshitaro led his troops out of the city, Hou Yongsheng also received intelligence, and immediately led two guerrillas disguised as ordinary local farmers, took the box cannon that was ground to the crosshairs and would not hook clothes in order to quickly draw the gun into his arms, and came to the vicinity of the gate of Junxian City to wait for an opportunity.
As soon as Sakamoto Yoshitaro, carrying a conspicuous sagun knife and wearing an exquisitely crafted cowhide gun holster, appeared, the experienced Hou Yongsheng knew that this was a big fish. He patiently waited for Sakamoto and Taro to approach, and decisively drew his gun at a close range of less than five meters between the two. The target was too close, and Hou Yongsheng was a well-known sharpshooter, and he harvested the enemy's head almost without aiming. Hou Yongsheng and his comrades quickly confiscated the swords and pistols on the corpses and ran toward a "green yarn tent" in the distance. In order to deter most of the Japanese troops who were shouting and chasing after them, Hou Yongsheng used his best skills and threw two shots to bring down two Japanese soldiers. Just as the Japanese soldiers were lying down, the three had already burrowed into the cornfield with thick stems and leaves, and it was difficult to find anymore.
At this moment, the Japanese army in Jun Prefecture exploded the pot, because Sakamoto Yoshitaro and his knife came from an unusual origin.
Sakamoto was an important person who was received by the Emperor, and this sword was also given to Sakamoto by the Emperor himself, which is of great significance. Annoyed and angry, the Japanese army searched for Hou Yongsheng's traces within a hundred miles, but they searched for more than ten days without a trace, so they had to give up. This result was expected and reasonable: the guerrillas and the local people were the military and the people, and how could the people of XunXian let the enemy succeed?
This was not Hou Yongsheng's only victory. Throughout the War of Resistance Against Japan, this sharpshooter who was good at firing cold guns killed and wounded Japanese officers many times, increasing the morale of our army and destroying the Japanese Kou weifeng. Because of this, the superiors decided to award him the sword captured by Hou Yongsheng as a souvenir. Since then, this knife has become the most special military merit badge for Hou Yongsheng.
At this point, the old man categorically refused to be purchased by a wealthy Japanese businessman, and the motive seemed to be clear: the old man wanted to keep this souvenir that symbolized his heroic years. However, this special souvenir obviously has a deep meaning: the Sakan knife is the historical evidence of the Japanese army's invasion of China, and the Japanese want to "redeem" these sabers scattered on the land of China, precisely to erase the reprehensible history of Japan's invasion of China and try to cover up the responsibility for war crimes. Veteran warriors who know the great righteousness will naturally not let these vengeances succeed.
