"The siege for several days left the Japanese army seriously short of supplies. The devils began to eat corpses, these cruel and inhuman beasts, there was nothing that could not be done..."

"When Tengchong was captured by the Japanese army in 1942, I was not yet 17 years old and was a third-grade student at Tengchong No. 1 Middle School. In the spring of 1944, the 198th Division of the 54th Army of the 20th Group Army of the Expeditionary Army came to the Dali Cadre Training Regiment to ask for personnel, and I was assigned to the 593rd Regiment Headquarters. ”

"On the evening of May 10, 1944, our regiment set off with the whole division from Caojian Street in Yunlong County and rushed to the nu river. The next day, the army crossed the Nu River, with the intention of eliminating the Japanese troops stationed at Qiaotou Street and cutting off the way for the Japanese army to flee from the Hokusai public house to Tengchong to the south or the Japanese army in Tengchong City to aid the Hokusai public house in the north. ”

"Before dawn on the 16th, the second battalion launched a surprise attack on Qiaotou Street, and while eliminating the enemy defending the bridgehead, the Ninth Company of the Third Battalion of our 593rd Regiment also conquered the enemy's Ma Mian Guan position and annihilated the Japanese troops at the bridgehead."

"Hokusai Public House is 3200 meters above sea level, which was a necessary place on the ancient Southern Silk Road, in the core area of Gaoligong Mountain. We were ordered not to take the ma gang road and to advance covertly along the hill to the enemy position. ”

"After much hardship, our regiment finally reached the western part of the Japanese Hokusai public housing position on time. The enemy's Hokusai public housing position was mainly to defend the 592nd and 594th regiments of our eastern offensive forces crossing the Nu River, and the gun muzzles of the bunkers were all facing east. The enemy never dreamed that my 593rd Regiment would attack from the west. Since the 592nd and 594th regiments had already annihilated a large number of hokusai public house enemy troops before this, the siege for several days left the enemy seriously short of supplies. It is said that they have eaten corpses, and animals cannot do such a cruel thing, only the Japanese can do it. ”

"The expeditionary force command ordered our Twenty Army to capture Tengchong within a time limit. After receiving the order, we Tengchong soldiers were particularly excited. We met together, encouraged each other, and rushed ahead, killed more enemies, and drove the devils out of their hometowns. At the same time, we also agreed with each other that if anyone died at the gate of his hometown, the living person would go to his house to see. ”

"Fighting Tengchong is an uphill battle, first an air battle. After several days of fierce air fighting, the sky over the small city was stirred up, and there were crashing plane wreckage everywhere. The Chinese and American air forces destroyed the air power of the Japanese army and completely grasped the air supremacy of Tengchong. Then, before attacking Tengchong City, it was necessary to clear the enemy's strongholds on the northern outskirts of the city. In late July, our regiment attacked the enemy stronghold of the Drinking Mashui River through Tianxin Dingjiazhai. After eliminating the Japanese army at the Drinking Mashui River, our 593rd Regiment accepted the task of attacking the corner tower. ”

"The enemy was condescending, and from the west gate it was observed that the soldiers of our regiment were building bridges, and they were firing wildly with multiple machine guns on the walls of the west gate, and the soldiers of our regiment in the open field suffered heavy casualties. We relied on the river stem to return fire on the spot, moving forward as we fought. ”

"The battle was very difficult that day, with machine gun fire from Japanese devils in the front and the regimental commander with machine guns on the back to prevent the soldiers from retreating. Everyone was fighting hard, and there were corpses of soldiers everywhere, and in some places there were piles of corpses. It lasted for several hours, until around 10:00 a.m., when our regiment had made great sacrifices before finally eliminating all the enemies in the corner tower and sending out signal bombs to report victory to the division headquarters. ”

"After the battle of the Corner Tower, our regiment was seriously reduced, and only about 200 of the regiment's more than 1,800 people were left unharmed. While on my way to The Lower Qiluo for reconnaissance, I took part in the battle when another siege force, the Pre-Second Division, attacked Elephant Trunk Ridge. After our army attacked Tengchong City, it fought street by street, house by house, day and night day after day. ”

"It was a battle we had never encountered before, the enemy was not necessarily ahead, bullets could come from either direction at any moment. Obviously, there will be bullets shooting out of the ruins of the houses after the attack. There is no time to eat and sleep, and we must stare wide-eyed in all directions that we can see and be ready to fight back. ”

"There are the corpses of Japanese soldiers near and under their feet, as well as the bodies of their own comrades-in-arms. The Tengchong operation was very fierce, and the superior ordered the siege troops to completely annihilate the enemy before the "9.18", and the troops constantly launched attacks on the enemy positions, and the battle was reduced by too many people. The gang, groom, and messenger all went into the city to fight and clear the remnants of the enemy. ”

"42 days of scorched earth battle. We completely annihilated the Tengchong Japanese army and recaptured Tengchong. 42 days. I experienced the hardest days and nights of my life in my hometown. On the day of the recapture of Tengchong, I was promoted to the rank of deputy battalion commander of the third battalion of the 593rd Regiment, but I did not feel a little happy. ”

"Regarding the devil eating people, many people witnessed it with their own eyes at that time. I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I believed my brother was telling the truth. Because the devils are inhuman, for eight years, the mass slaughter of these beasts has not stopped. ”

 "At that time, we were fighting among many stinking corpses every day, and we had no fear, and the Chinese on the ground were brothers, brothers who went to the battlefield together, they were killed by the Japanese, and they would bless us to kill more devils."

"The field hospital is far away. I was sent down to the position, in fact, to find a flat land with more wounded soldiers, and once I put it there, no one cared. Because they could not be treated in time, many wounded soldiers died on that flat land, survived if they survived, but they died, depending on whether you survived or not. ”

"A lot of soldiers, heroes as people call them, have killed many enemies on the battlefield, but when they left this world, they were so plain, so plain that people couldn't believe it: so powerful characters are gone like that?"

"Knowing that it is a dead person, I will also fill in the front line." In the most critical time, we can only ignite our own spiritual flesh and rush to the devils with explosives bags. Desperately! It's easier said than done! Later, I became a vegetarian because I couldn't smell meat, especially roast meat, which was too similar to the smell of my brothers being roasted on the battlefield...."
