In the land of North China in 1938, the anti-Japanese beacon was raging, and the Eighth Route Army fought bloody battles against the Japanese invaders, guarding a mountain and river. In this land filled with gunpowder, the toxins of internal rifts are also spreading silently. Xiao Hua, a resolute and unyielding military general, led the Eighth Route Army to fight bravely against the enemy in the Jilu border area and establish a revolutionary holy land. But in that year, a tragedy caused by perfidious collusion was forever engraved on the Danqing of history.
At that time, the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang was tense, and the two sides had both cooperation and contradictions in the War of Resistance against Japan. The Kuomintang became dissatisfied with the anti-Japanese base areas in the Jilu border area, so they conspired with the local forces and appointed a landlord armed leader named Sun Zhongwen as the representative of the so-called "government". The Kuomintang was not stingy in its support for Sun Zhongwen, and provided a large amount of money and weapons in an attempt to sweep away the anti-Japanese forces in the Jilu border area in one fell swoop.
Sun Zhongwen served as the hand of the government, regardless of the general interests of the nation, and his armed gangs raged everywhere, not only surround the anti-Japanese government, but also ruthlessly buried a group of anti-Japanese cadres alive in a no-man's land. In the midst of this chaos, Yang Jingyuan, the commander of the Jilu Border Region, led a heart with a beautiful vision of peace, and went alone to persuade him to surrender, hoping to resolve the civil strife and concentrate his forces against the Japanese invaders. However, what he encountered was Sun Zhongwen's cold-blooded ambush and betrayal, Yang Jingyuan's heroic sacrifice, and he was even divided into three sections by the enemy, which was undoubtedly a great insult to the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese base area, and the dignity of the nation.
When the news came, Xiao Hua was furious, which was not only an insult to Yang Jingyuan personally, but also a challenge to the authority of the Japanese base area. Vowed to avenge Yang Jingyuan and all the anti-Japanese fighters who died under Sun Zhongwen's iron hooves, Xiao Hua did not hesitate to mobilize elite troops, plotted and planned, and vowed to sweep away this scourge. Under the guidance of a careful battle plan, the heavy army finally destroyed Sun Zhongwen's evil power and avenged Yang Jingyuan and other martyrs.
After the victory of the battle, Yang Jingyuan's body was solemnly transported back, and a grand memorial service was held in the base area, and countless anti-Japanese fighters and ordinary people spontaneously came to the memorial site, and their eyes flashed with admiration and tears for the heroes. In 1940, in order to commemorate the commander who shed his blood for national independence and freedom, Leling, Yanshan, and Qingyun counties each allocated a piece of land to form a new Jingyuan County, which is not only a commemoration of Yang Jingyuan's heroic deeds, but also a spiritual continuation.
Yang Jingyuan's deeds are not only a page in history, but also an endless spiritual wealth. His sacrifice has become an unquenchable fire in the hearts of every anti-Japanese soldier, inspiring them to move forward bravely in the long years of the Anti-Japanese War. This history not only demonstrates the bravery and firmness of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, but also a clear boundary, dividing betrayal and loyalty, evil and justice.
To sum up, in that era of change, the flame of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was like a raging lighthouse, illuminating the road and guiding the way forward. The heroic deeds of the martyrs will forever be imprinted in the hearts of the Chinese nation and become an unquenchable light, inspiring future generations to continue to move forward. The story of Xiao Hua and Yang Jingyuan is a magnificent epic in the history of resistance against Japan, a historical memory that will never fade, and a source of strength in the hearts of each of us. Today, when we look back at those years of blood and fire, we must not only cherish the memory of the martyrs, but also inherit their will and spirit, and continue to work hard for the prosperity of the country and the great rejuvenation of the nation.
