In the Yantai Museum, there is a stone lei made by Yu Huahu, a militia hero in Haiyang during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. At first glance, it looks rough and casual; However, it was such a simple-looking stone mine that became a powerful weapon for the people of Haiyang to resist the Japanese army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the infinite power of the people's armed forces erupted.

As soon as the movie "Mine Warfare" was broadcast, it caused a sensation in the country, became the memory of several generations, and also made the heroic deeds of the people of Haiyang, Shandong famous throughout the country. The prototype of the protagonist Zhao Hu in "Mine Warfare" is Zhao Shoufu and Yu Huahu, the king of Jiaodong explosion. Their hometowns are two adjacent villages in Haiyangxing Village, Zhao Yan and Wenshanhou Village. In February 1940, the Japanese invaded haiyang, taking Xingcun as the central stronghold and setting up a stronghold in Sunjiakuo, east of Zhao Yan, harassing everywhere, burning, killing, robbing, plundering, and doing everything.

In 1943, the Haiyang County Armed Forces Committee introduced the militia's experience in laying mines and issued several mines to various districts. In May of that year, the first mine exploded successfully, killing 5 enemies and kicking off the prelude to the Haiyang mine warfare.

With the extensive development of mine warfare, the supply of iron mines is seriously insufficient, and it is difficult to carry out effective strikes against the enemy. In this context, the Haiyang militia exerted their ingenuity and wisdom, using stone as raw materials and using the method of "one nitrate, two sulphur and three charcoal". Up and down the village, men chisel stones and women grind medicine. The stones that spread over the mountains were turned into stone thunder that blossomed everywhere, and the arrogance of the Japanese Kou was dealt a fierce blow.

Walking into the village of Zhao Yan, the remnants of the lives and battles of the heroes of landmines can still be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys; in those years of intense fire, the Haiyang militia, under the leadership of Zhao Shoufu, Yu Huahu, Sun Yumin, and others, used "landmines" as weapons to fight wits and courage with the enemy, and carried out the anti-Japanese struggle of "anti-sweeping" and "anti-encroachment" in full swing, which became a heavy stroke in the history of the Jiaodong War of Resistance led by the Communist Party of China.

The former battlefield has now restored the beautiful scenery of golden wheat fields and turquoise mountains and forests, and the old and young people in the village gather in the streets and alleys to enjoy the happiness of the peaceful era; The militia hero is buried at the head of the post, forever guarding the tranquility and tranquility of the village. The story of mine warfare is gradually fading away, and the spirit of mine warfare will become an enduring classic for the sons and daughters of China.
