"Looking in the Mirror": The wisdom and courage of the Anti-Japanese Hero Village
In classical Chinese literature, the term "mirror" is often used to describe magical treasures that reveal the true face of monsters. However, in real life, there are also some people and things that are like "mirrors", revealing the true identity of those who are pretenders. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese people fought wits and courage with the Japanese army in guerrilla warfare, relying on the terrain and the support of the people, just like a magical "mirror of the demon". This article will review a true story about the period of the Anti-Japanese War, telling how the village chief and the villagers exposed the disguise of the Japanese soldiers like a "mirror of the demon", and through the strength and wisdom of the masses, finally achieved victory.
The tranquility and crisis of the village
During the Second Sino-Japanese War, China's rural areas often became the main battlefields of guerrilla warfare. Villages and peasants became the first line of defense against Japanese aggression. In a remote mountain village, the village chief and villagers live a peaceful life. The village is hidden deep in the mountains, and the surrounding terrain is treacherous and tortuous, providing favorable conditions for guerrilla warfare.
However, the tranquility of the village was shattered by the arrival of a group of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese army sent soldiers who were fluent in Chinese disguised as the Eighth Route Army to penetrate the village in an attempt to carry out a special mission. They soon got along with the villagers for a long time, but their strange behavior aroused the suspicion of the villagers.
The wit of the village chief
The village chief is the leader of the village, and his intelligence and resourcefulness are on full display at this critical moment. He noticed the strange behavior of this group of soldiers, especially their prejudice against coriander. Whenever the village chief prepared a delicious meal, the soldiers always picked out the coriander to show their distaste for the ingredient. The village chief knows that coriander is a common condiment in Chinese food culture, and few people will hate it, especially in a delicious meal.
This detail aroused the suspicion of the village chief. He realized that these soldiers must be in disguise, and they could not have been so disgusted with coriander. The village chief decided to inform the real Eighth Route Army of this observation.
The strength and wisdom of the masses
The village chief's decision marked close cooperation between the villagers and the Eighth Route Army. The village chief contacted the real Eighth Route Army through secret means and communicated his observations to them. The real Eighth Route Army immediately took action, ready to come and reveal the true identity of these disguised soldiers.
The arrival of the Eighth Route Army alarmed these disguised soldiers. They thought they were disguised seamlessly, but they didn't expect their strange behavior to be revealed. In the fierce battle with the real Eighth Route Army, these camouflaged soldiers were ultimately unable to resist the military strength and fighting spirit of the Eighth Route Army. Their disguise was revealed and eventually defeated.
The story behind the war
Behind this seemingly ordinary story, there are more memories of war. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the villagers and terrain of rural China provided unique conditions for resisting Japanese aggression. The geographical location of the village and the resourcefulness of the villagers became the key to revealing the camouflage. The story of this small village is the epitome of countless heroic deeds in the War of Resistance Against Japan and a symbol of China's strength and courage to resist Japanese aggression.
