"The names of heroes and heroes must not be taken into account for selfishness." It is difficult to sacrifice one's body to go to the country, and it is difficult to see death as a sudden return! ——Cao Zhi, "White Horse Chapter"
The Japanese army has two major operational creeds, one is precision shooting, for this reason at any cost in 1905 developed a rifle with extremely high shooting accuracy, that is, the Chinese called "three eight big cover", the Japanese army from 1905 to 1945, a full 40 years of a large number of the rifle. The second is close combat, the Japanese army believes in Bushido, regard white-knife warfare as the best way to reflect the bloodiness of soldiers, and the Japanese army even installed bayonets on submachine guns, which shows its degree of perversion.
In film and television works, we often see the Japanese army fighting bayonets, often retreating bullets first, mistakenly thinking that this is their talk of martial arts. In fact, most of the Japanese melee fights will occur in the case of bullets, and the Japanese are not stupid enough to "be good old men" on the battlefield, after all, life is only once, the battlefield is cruel and merciless, people want to leave the battlefield alive, and the Japanese are no exception.
During World War II, Japan's industrial prowess far exceeded that of China, and they built more than 20,000 submachine guns and 6.8 million bayonets to equip the army for hand-to-hand combat in actual combat. In contrast, the weapons of the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians are very backward, and the bayonet cannot be equipped according to each person's hand, but what is used, large knives, spears, sticks, kitchen knives, etc. all appear in actual combat, and the results can be imagined.
The 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army had 4,092 guns but only 117 bayonets, and the 129th Division had less than 100 bayonets.
The tragic scene of cold weapons killing and injuring human beings is far more frightening than the killing of hot weapons. The battlefield is full of stumps, full of blood, full of ears are screaming, the scene is tragic and abnormal, compared to faith, blood, courage, courage and other spiritual forces, fighting skills have become supporting roles.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese soldiers shouted that "we must have the ability to see red within 30 meters of the bayonet", and countless tough men on the battlefield emerged, who regarded death as a homecoming, overwhelmed the arrogant Bushido arrogance of the Japanese Kou with their fearless heroism, and fought the Psychological collapse of the Japanese army in one white-knife bloody battle after another, and there was no way to escape!
Li Shiliang is such a tough guy on the battlefield.
Kill the devil
The gap between the enemy and the enemy
Born in Suide County in 1919, Li Shiliang joined the Children's League at the age of 14, the Young Pioneers at the age of 15, the Communist Youth League at the age of 16, and at the age of 17 became an ordinary soldier in the 3rd Company of the 203rd Regiment of the 75th Division of the Red 25th Army.
There are always years in people's lives that cannot be forgotten, leaving you with infinite beautiful memories. The most memorable thing in Li Shiliang's life was the experience of killing the enemy on the anti-Japanese battlefield. During World War II, the Japanese army despised the weapons of Chinese soldiers and only adopted the bayonet fighting method in the Chinese battlefield.
"If a worker desires to do good, he must first use it." When summing up the lessons of the 1st Military Subdistrict of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, Commander Yang Chengwu specifically talked about the "white-knife battle," pointing out that the Japanese army was "physically strong and technologically good" and that the Eighth Route Army had "suffered very heavy losses." In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, an important reason why chinese soldiers were not opponents of the Japanese army was that "the instrument was inferior to the person". In the famous Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the Eighth Route Army fought a bloody battle with the white blade of the Japanese army, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had experienced hundreds of battles needed 3 people to fight 1 devil in order not to fall behind.
After the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, Li Shiliang's company was reorganized into 3 companies of 1 battalion, 688 regiments of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and embarked on the anti-Japanese battlefield to fight fiercely with the murderous Japanese army. At that time, the Eighth Route Army was ridiculed by the enemy as the "Eighth Road of The Soil", and an important reason was that it lacked food and clothing, and its weapons and equipment were extremely backward, and when it engaged the Japanese army head-on, our army had no choice but to choose a bloody battle with the Japanese army for many times, so as to minimize the casualties caused by the enemy's unequal artillery fire to our army.
Close-range white-knife warfare, pay attention to "one inch long and one inch strong". The Best Equipped Central Army in the Chinese Army, and the official rifle in the Central Army's barbed rifle is a full 10 centimeters shorter than the Japanese 38th Large Cover, and the gap between the worst-equipped "TuBalu" and the Japanese army is not at all on the order of magnitude. The Japanese army uses living people in training, our army uses scarecrows in training, and the Japanese army has enough to eat, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army have a good look, and the gap can be imagined.
After the addition of bayonets, the length of the medium formal rifle is 1.685 meters (body 1.11 meters + bayonet 0.575 meters), and the length of the Type 38 rifle is 1.801 meters (gun body 1.276 meters + bayonet 0.525 meters), a difference of more than 10 centimeters.
The reason for this is to let everyone know under what circumstances our army fought and killed the murderous Japanese Kou, and also to let everyone truly feel the greatness of li Shiliang, the hero who killed the enemy.
Since the period of the Red Army, our army has attached special importance to stabbing training, and there have been many assassination trainings, and a large number of stabbing masters have emerged; when they were single-handedly confronted with the Japanese army, they were able to cope with it with ease and killed a lot of enemies, and Li Shiliang was one of the famous heroes of the stabbing. When our army fought with the white blade of the Japanese army, more fighters relied on national righteousness and heroic bloodiness, often disregarding the fact that the guy in their hands was shorter than the devil, and after the other side stabbed into their own bodies, they went up to the blade and also stabbed the other side, and they died together, tragic and tragic.
Kill the enemy in real combat
In addition to practicing assassination techniques, Li Shiliang also likes to speculate on battle examples and is good at summarizing. In May 1939, Li Shiliang marched with his troops to Wulong Town, Huaxian County, Henan Province, and stayed overnight in the town. Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, more than 100 Japanese troops sneaked into Wulong Town, and when everyone heard the signal sent by the sentry, the ghosts had rushed into the town, and a street battle broke out between the two sides.
Short soldiers meet each other, narrow roads meet, and a fierce white-knife bloody battle is inevitable. This is Li Shiliang's first close combat with the Japanese army, usually the tricks during training are familiar to the heart, but before he revisits it in his heart, a ghost rushed up, Li Shiliang was a little flustered, could not take care of the skill, rushed to fight, and the result was stabbed in the lower abdomen by the ghost.
The severe pain made Li Shiliang wake up a lot at once, he instantly calmed down, pulled away the devil's bayonet, fiercely plunged the bayonet into the devil's chest, pulled up and down, the devil screamed and died, and the blood flowed on the ground. The devils who followed him were timid, roaring with red eyes and rushing over, Li Shiliang was the least afraid of this kind of opponent, his heart was weak and bold, his moves were chaotic, and it was easy to find flaws. In two rounds, Li Shiliang stabbed the bayonet into the devil's abdomen, pulling up and down, left and right, and the devil's intestines were cut, flowing out of the stomach, and he fell to the ground.
The third devil is a hard stubble, a move to know that it is a veteran of hundreds of battles, the two bayonets are together, evenly matched, Li Shiliang will be the devil's bayonet desperately pressed down, the devil's hard lift. Li Shiliang pondered: Fighting bayonets relies on fighting spirit, second, tactics, and brains. Such a stalemate, the devil will definitely have the upper hand, Li Shiliang decided to take the lead in changing the move, he took advantage of the moment when the devil raised the bayonet with all his strength, quickly changed his move, and the backhand butt of a gun smashed on the devil's left cheek, the devil grunted in his throat, fell to the ground, and the carotid artery blood vessel was smashed to death.
In this battle, our army won a complete victory, and the devils stole chickens and could not eat the rice, and almost the entire army was destroyed. Our army also paid a heavy price, leading the deputy battalion commander, company commander, platoon commander and other people all died heroically, and deputy platoon leader Li Shiliang was slightly injured in his right arm, seriously injured in the abdomen, and his intestines flowed out. Li Shiliang stitched up 4 stitches and recuperated for more than a month before recovering.
After Li Shiliang returned to the team after recovering from injury, he went to the battlefield again. In March 1942, Li Shiliang, then deputy company commander, led a team to participate in the Battle of Qilidian in Zuoquan County. One of the hard bones of the battle was the qilidian enemy's bunker, which was converted from an earthen village and surrounded by deep trenches, and the terrain was very high, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
A platoon of puppet troops guarded the outer trenches, dozens of ghosts were stationed in the bunkers and bungalow barracks in the back of the village, and the brother troops attacked many times, killing and wounding heavily, but they did not return. The task of attacking the stronghold was entrusted to Li Shiliang's company, who led people to lurk near the bunker at night, and after finding out the enemy's situation, began to issue combat tasks: some people were responsible for blocking enemy firepower, and some people set up ambushes on the side of the road to block enemy reinforcements. Li Shiliang led 13 commandos to attack the enemy bunker.
The next day, the battle began, Li Shiliang led the commandos to carry the ladder through the barbed wire under the cover of fire, and set the ladder on the wall of the bunker to attack the enemy. The battle began, the first squad leader to climb the ladder was shot and killed, the attack was blocked, Li Shiliang gritted his teeth, braved the rain of bullets to climb the ladder, and threw the grenade into the village.
The team members in the back saw the situation and tacitly unscrewed the lid on the tail of the grenade, and passed it to Li Shiliang on the ladder one by one. Li Shiliang threw out 32 grenades in one breath, the enemy in the village was forced to retreat, Li Shiliang heard the enemy's gunfire weakened, jumped up and jumped into the village, and the team members behind jumped in.
Li Shiliang stabbed at people when he saw people with bayonets, and the rest of the team members killed red eyes, and some enemies had no way to escape, panicked and did not choose a road, and even jumped off the wall of the village and fell to their deaths. In this battle, only 7 enemy people were captured, the rest were all killed, Li Shiliang's commando team captured more than 30 guns, more than 10 boxes of ammunition, was commended by the regiment, and the combat experience was passed down as a good story.
After the war, the Japanese army collected corpses on the battlefield, and their hearts were full of grief and pain. The Japanese puppet army was limped everywhere, there were almost no corpses, and there was blood everywhere, which was extremely tragic, and it can be imagined how fierce the melee between the two armies was after the short soldiers met.
Li Shiliang made many meritorious contributions and gradually stepped onto the post of commander, and regimental commander Ou Fufu (who was deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region after liberation) taught him: "As a commander, you cannot rely only on heroism and wisdom, so that you can lead the troops to greater victories." ”
In 1943, Li Shiliang led a team in the anti-sweeping struggle and in the battle to defend Chungeng in the second district of Zuoquan County, he skillfully used a series of tricks to kill and wound more than 30 Japanese troops, including one Japanese company commander. Later, he disguised himself as a Japanese army, bravely broke into the enemy's stronghold, and used bayonets to stab 10 officers of the Japanese puppet army to death. The Taihang Military Region of the Eighth Route Army rehearsed this battle into a drama for a tour to boost morale and boost the morale of the army!
Armor removal
Li Shiliang participated in the 8 years of the War of Resistance, participated in the big and small battles, even he himself can not remember clearly, there are more than 60 times in the white blade war, in the white blade war, he alone killed more than 100 enemies, he was also seriously injured 6 times, rubbing shoulders with the god of death, leaving 9 obvious visible scars on the body, a piece of shrapnel left on the head, can not be removed.
In April 1940, Li Shiliang's troops fell into the siege of the Japanese army, and when he broke through, he was hit by a Japanese bullet and injured his kidneys; in the summer of 1943, Li Shiliang led his troops to defend the summer harvest of the masses, Li Shiliang personally went to the front line to reconnoiter, was hit in the neck by the Japanese army, and almost died...
In 1944, Li Shiliang was injured again, his health became very poor, the organization sent him to a large hospital for treatment, many parties to do his ideological work, hoping that he could go to the local area to do some work, Li Shiliang tearfully agreed, transferred to local work, held a variety of positions, but also taught himself acupuncture and other medical techniques, free service to the masses.
In 1944, the Taihang Military Region of the Eighth Route Army held a heroic model meeting in Sai County, Shanxi, and Liu Bocheng gave him a red flag with the inscription "Li Shiliang, the Hero Who Killed the Enemy", and won the title of the first hero of the Taihang Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.
Li Shiliang was admitted from Xi'an Institute of Physical Education in 1980 and enjoyed the treatment of vice president, and died on January 23, 2016 at the age of 97. For the sake of the country and the people, Li Shiliang is truly the greatest hero.
Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles do not stay. The thing whisked away, hiding deep with the name. - Li Bai, "Chivalrous Travel"
