Preface:
In 1938, it was a period of high anti-Japanese sentiment in China, but at this time the Red Army soldiers were still facing the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang troops, but the hearts of the Red Army soldiers had already rushed to the anti-Japanese battlefield.
Zhang Jinlong, as a 12-year-old soldier who had just joined the Red Army, was bent on resisting Japan and saving the country, but fell into the hands of bandits, and in the face of the bandits' blades, Zhang Jinlong was not afraid, but before he died, he made a special request, so that the bandits could not bear to attack him.
Raids on the road to resistance
That year, when the Japanese invaders were frantically attacking the northeast, Chiang Kai-shek was bent on encircling and suppressing the Red Army, and in such an environment, the Red Army soldiers could be described as struggling.
However, halfway was attacked by enemy aircraft, the old squad leader also died to protect him, and Zhang Jinlong himself was unconscious from the aftermath of the shell.
This was a failed transfer, not only the wounded were killed, but even the fighters escorting the wounded, and such a tragic situation was commonplace for the Red Army soldiers at that time.
To save or not to save
When Zhang Jinlong woke up from the coma, it was already dusk, and at this time, he was covered in injuries, because he lost too much blood and the whole person was exhausted, and if no one rescued him, then his end was to die here.
Just when Zhang Jinlong felt desperate, a couple passed here, which made Zhang Jinlong see the hope of life, but the couple saw that there were so many dead people in front of them, and they did not dare to approach for a while.
In the end, because this road was the only way for the two to go home, they still plucked up the courage to walk in, and the two soon noticed Zhang Jinlong, who was still squirming in the pile of people.
To save or not to save? This is a difficult decision in front of the couple, it is not difficult to save people, but the identity of the Red Army soldiers at this time is very sensitive, in case they are discovered by the enemy, then their end can be imagined.
Hope for life
"Take him back, still a child..."
This is what the woman with him said, yes, Zhang Jinlong is only 12 years old, just a child, although he wears the uniform of the Red Army, but this does not change the essence of his child!
In the end, the couple took the risk to bring Zhang Jinlong home, because the life of ordinary people at that time was very difficult, and Zhang Jinlong's diet was not very good, but this was also the best food in the couple.
Zhang Jinlong was not picky, but still very grateful, he only had one dream in his heart, that is, when his injuries were healed, he would go to the front line to resist Japan, and the purpose of his joining the army was to fight Japanese devils.
Repay the kindness
Zhang Jinlong spent more than half a month recuperating in the couple's home, and the food and clothing were all provided by the couple, which made the couple's already poor family even worse.
Fortunately, the man is a hunter, and occasionally he can come back from going into the mountains to get some wild game, but almost all of them are given to Zhang Jinlong, which makes Zhang Jinlong moved!
During a meal, Zhang Jinlong asked the two couples why they were so kind to themselves, and the hunter clearly told Zhang Jinlong that the two of them had no children under their knees, and hoped that Zhang Jinlong could be their son in the future and give them a pension.
Zhang Jinlong hesitated, he did not repay the favor as a gentleman, but his purpose was to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, so he bluntly told the couple that he would return to repay the favor when the Anti-Japanese War was over.
Hard choices
At that time, the news was closed, and some official figures deliberately concealed some news about the Japanese devil's invasion of China, and the people in remote areas did not know the tragedy on the front line.
And the couple lived in the mountains all year round, and did not know much about the situation of anti-Japanese resistance, and when they heard Zhang Jinlong's insistence on going to resist Japan, they thought that Zhang Jinlong was making excuses and was unwilling to give the two of them a pension.
Seeing this, Zhang Jinlong told the couple what he knew, and when they heard the report of the wanton massacre of the Japanese in China, the two couples were also angry, and immediately gave up their plan to ask Zhang Jinlong to stay and give them a pension.
This is not to mention, seeing that Zhang Jinlong's injury is almost good, knowing that Zhang Jinlong is bent on going to the front, the old hunter went into the mountains to hunt for several days in a row, making the meat of his prey into jerky, intending to let Zhang Jinlong eat on the way.
Tragedy strikes
However, there were unforeseen storms, everything was almost ready, and Zhang Jinlong's hope of resisting Japan also increased greatly, but at this moment, a group of bandits rushed into this humble village.
This group of bandits is extremely fierce, some people still have some guns in their hands, the Orion couple does not dare to resist at all, and the group of bandits are also a little conscientious, and did not think of killing, but just robbed the dry food prepared by the Orion couple for Zhang Jinlong.
The bandits are not stupid either, kill these villagers, then who else can they go to rob after that? These villagers are like the rabbits they raise, fat and bleed once.
However, the old hunter saw that the dried meat he had prepared for Zhang Jinlong was robbed, and he went to rob it, and his behavior angered the bandits, and one of the bandits was about to kill with a knife.
At this time, Zhang Jinlong pounced and threw the bandit to the ground with his smaller body, and Zhang Jinlong's actions completely angered the bandit leader.
Moments of life and death
The bandit leader didn't say a word, took out his pistol and aimed it at Zhang Jinlong, don't see that Zhang Jinlong is only 12 years old, but did not retreat at this time, but blocked in front of the hunter, straightened his chest and was not afraid!
Orion reacted to this, although he was afraid in his heart, but when he thought of having a child to protect him at this time, he was ashamed of himself, and subconsciously pulled Zhang Jinlong behind him and said: "He is a foreigner, don't hurt him!" ”
"Foreign?"
The bandit leader is not stupid, there can be no outsiders in the deep mountains where they are located, and he is still a 12-year-old child, but he knows the news that Red Army soldiers passed by some time ago, and then look at Zhang Jinlong's eyes will change.
At that time, the Kuomintang had a reward for Red Army soldiers, and compared to some dry food, the head of a Red Army soldier was more valuable, which made the bandits' sneak attack on Zhang Jinlong's eyes more ferocious.
Make a request
"Little baby, you shouldn't be the Red Army, right?"
The bandit leader asked tentatively, and the Orion couple was startled, knowing that if these bandits knew the identity of Zhang Jinlong, that Zhang Jinlong would definitely die.
It's just that before the two of them could find a way to cover up, Zhang Jinlong stood up again and did not shy away from admitting his identity as a Red Army soldier!
Although Zhang Jinlong is only 12 years old, he has his own beliefs, he has never felt that there is anything wrong with his identity, and he is not afraid of losing his life because of his identity.
The bandit leader was excited when he heard this, and the pistol was aimed at Zhang Jinlong's chest and was about to shoot, but at this time Zhang Jinlong raised his right hand and shouted: "Slow!" ”
The bandit leader showed a look of contempt and said, "Doesn't it mean that the soldiers of the Red Army are not afraid of death?" As long as you kneel down and beg me now, I will let you live a few more days!" ”
Zhang Jinlong stepped forward, pointed to the pistol in the hand of the bandit leader, looked resolute, and said: "I can kill me, but please don't use a gun." ”
"Why is that?"
The bandit leader was stunned on the spot, not understanding Zhang Jinlong's intentions.
However, Zhang Jinlong's explanation made him feel indescribable in his heart, grand masters, this moment actually felt guilty!
Bullets are used on the Japanese
"We are short of ammunition, if you can, please use your bullets on the Japanese, just kill me with a knife!"
This is Zhang Jinlong's request in the face of the bandit leader, at this moment, all the bandits were moved, and the bandit leader only felt a sour nose!
Zhang Jinlong is just a 12-year-old child, but he only wants to drive away the Japanese, but all the people present are flesh and blood Chinese, whose heart is cold and heartless?
Originally, several bandits who held long guns at Zhang Jinlong subconsciously put away their long guns, not to mention that the other party was just a child, even if it was an adult, at this moment, they had no face to continue to fight each other!
The bandit leader didn't say anything more, he turned his horse's head and left with the people, leaving all the stolen dry food and money on his body to Zhang Jinlong when he left.
These dry food is just a meal for many bandits, but for Zhang Jinlong, that is his next hope.
Missing
After this incident, no bandits came to the village, and Zhang Jinlong set out a few days later to find the Red Army troops, and then followed the troops to the anti-Japanese battlefield.
Unfortunately, the 12-year-old child has not been seen since then, and perhaps he returned to his hometown alive; Perhaps he had already died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.
And the pair of hunters have been waiting in the mountains for Zhang Jinlong's return, but until the two died, they did not see the young and emaciated figure again, which became the last regret of the couple!
Epilogue:
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is the most dangerous and bloody war against foreign enemies of the Chinese nation, and countless martyrs have paid the price of their lives, and the vast majority of us do not even know their names, please remember their contributions to the country!
