Gao Gaoying, a native of Gaojia Village, Daze Mountain. In 1938, when the Japanese occupied Pingdu City, he was only 11 years old, which was the age when he was playing and catching birds in the trees and fishing in the river.
In 1940, the Jiaodong Eighth Route Army was stationed in Daze Mountain. This year, Gao Gaoying found Gao Luyun, the head of the militia self-defense regiment in Gaojia Village, and resolutely asked to join the militia to fight devils. Commander Gao looked at Gao Gaoying, who had not dried up and had an innocent face, and said jokingly: "The little hairy child's family, when he saw the devil, he was scared to pee his pants, and he also joined the militia." Go, go home. ”
Gao Gaoying looked unconvinced: "Hmph! I'm not afraid of death. I dare to even put a cannon, do you dare?" As soon as Regiment Commander Gao heard this, he didn't get angry: "What a little rabbit cub, you put the cannon on the top of Dongbu?" "What is it for me!" Gao Gaoying said proudly. Commander Gao thought to himself, okay, now I have finally caught the hairy monkey who fired the cannon indiscriminately.
Here's the thing. The Jiaodong Military Region Headquarters and other party, government, and military organs were stationed in Gaojia Village. A few days ago, the soldiers of the guard unit were training in the yard on the top of the east port of the village, and several children including Gao Gaoying watched the training in the yard with curiosity. Between trainings, the fighters of the artillery platoon rested in the shade of a tree not far away.
Gao Gaoying looked at the mortar and felt itchy and wanted to go to see the cannon with his friends, but everyone was a little scared and didn't dare to go. Gao Yingke didn't care so much, got up and ran to the mortar. He circled around the mortar a few times, and then took out a shell from the shell box next to him, and put it into the chamber like a soldier, only to hear a tom to wake up, the shell flew out, straight to the east slope, with an explosion, a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose in the distance.
By the time the soldiers noticed that something was wrong and ran away, Gao Gaoying had already slipped away. For this reason, the head of the unit was very angry, punished the cadres who led the training, and asked the local government to find and educate the children who fired the guns.
Gao Ying, who was "not afraid of the sky", was severely criticized and made a review before he passed the test. But this didn't affect his strength to fight devils. After that, Gao Gaoying still stubbornly asked to join the militia. Seeing that he was bold and clever, not short, and a good billet, the head of the regiment Gao agreed. This year, high school Ying just turned 13 years old.
After joining the militia in high school, he became more and more energetic among the children, carrying a "Hanyang-made" rifle every day to conduct military training and stand guard with the adults, and the friends were very envious.
One night, Gao Gaoying was sleeping at home, and was awakened by the sound of rats gnawing on the kang, and vaguely saw the shadow of a huge mouse. The rat was not killed, and the army organs and the people of the whole village were all alarmed.
The guard company of the Jiaodong Military Region urgently assembled, and the militia of Gaojia Village also made preparations to cover the transfer of ordinary people into the mountains. It was quickly found out that it was Gao Gao Ying who used a rifle to beat mice, which was a pure false alarm. As a result, he was inspected at a militia assembly and his rifle was confiscated as punishment.
Among the militia, Gao Ying is the youngest, and everyone is willing to play with him, plus he is clever and brave, and whenever there is a combat mission, he is willing to let him participate. Important tasks such as touching the turret to attack the stronghold, "flying blasting" and blocking can all be seen jumping around like a monkey.
At the turn of the summer and autumn of 1943, the Japanese puppet army "swept" the Dazeshan anti-Japanese base three times in seven days, and Gaojia Village was burned down by the enemy three times. When the high school heroes were bad, they thought about teaching the enemy a hard lesson with mines.
According to the characteristics of the activities of the Japanese puppet army, he pondered the old cemetery in the pine tree in the northwest of Gaojia Village, where the pines and cypresses are towering and the tombs are connected, which is a good place to ambush the enemy. The high school British led the militia to hollow out the granite incense burner and offering platform in front of the grave and fill it with explosives, and turned the grave into a stone mine array. After burying the thunder, he knelt down in front of the grave and bowed three times, asking the ancestors to forgive him for his offense.
Soon, the devil went into the mountains to "sweep" again, and Gao Gaoying led the militia to carry out a sparrow war, stopping and stopping, and ran to Song Shuying's side. The devils and the puppet army chased after each other and surrounded the past. When everyone saw that the devil had taken the bait, they stopped shooting and ran to the hill to see the excitement. Three or four exhausted devil soldiers wanted to rest for a while on the altar in front of the grave, but as soon as they sat down, they were blown up, and the stone mines and mines kept making a deafening "boom" sound.
A puppet battalion commander was frightened by the landmine and knelt on the ground and prayed: "God forbid, God forbid." "As a result, I didn't take a few steps to get up when I was blown off by a mine. A Japanese soldier wanted to hide, but was smashed by the blown up offering stone......
The Huabu stronghold blocked the main road from Pingdu to Ye County, and the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold often harmed the surrounding villages, and the people hated it to the bone. The high school British and militiamen had sent Lei to the door to teach them a lesson, and the enemy's arrogance had been restrained. Recently, the enemy blocked roads and attacked pedestrians, and the people asked the militia to give the enemy a little taste. But since the enemy suffered the loss of mines, he is very careful in his activities during the day and closes his door in the stronghold at night, what should he do?
Gao Gaoying came up with an idea to make a fuss about the enemy's water and lure the enemy out of the hole, and the command approved his plan.
That night, Gao Gaoying and two militiamen quietly entered the Huabu stronghold and poured dung soup into the well and on the edge of the well, making the surrounding area stinky. This well was the only source of water for the enemy in the stronghold, and the next day the enemy found that the well was polluted and unusable, so he sent a squad to the Ziyang River north of the stronghold to fetch water for cooking. As soon as the enemy stepped out of the gate of the stronghold, he was ambushed by the militia who were lying in ambush on the opposite ridge, and many people were killed and wounded, and they returned in confusion, and did not dare to act rashly for many days. In the end, I had to ask the devils in the county town to dispatch, so I got water from the Ziyang River.
One summer, Gao Gaoying heard that the melons planted in the Gaowangshan base were almost ripe, and he immediately became interested.
One dark night, he led two militiamen to travel twenty miles and quietly came to the stronghold of Gaowangshan. Gao Gaoying once went to the stronghold to bury mines, and was very familiar with the terrain, they evaded the sentry of the puppet army, crawled to the melon field, and touched the melon along the vine. A few people grabbed the melon and gnawed it, who knew that they came early, the melon was not ripe, and the taste was bitter.
There was a militiaman who came back in a few days when the melons were ripe, and Gao Gao Ying did not do it, in his words: "We can't eat it, and we can't let the enemy eat it." So, several people tossed for most of the night and pulled out all the melon vines in the field. The next day, the puppet soldiers saw broken vines and rotten leaves on the ground, and there was a crooked line of words on the melon field: "The militia in the mountains is here, don't do evil!"
In 1948, Gao Gao Ying was already a famous militia hero in Pingdu.
In the autumn of this year, on the eve of the Huaihai Campaign, Pingdu set off a vigorous upsurge of support. Gao Gao Ying was assigned to the 4th Company and 1st Platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the 6th Regiment of the East China Branch Former Disciples Corps, and served as the platoon commander. The personnel of the 1st platoon are all militiamen who have been trained in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation and have high military quality.
After the Spring Festival in 1949, Gao Gaoying carried a crooked machine gun captured from the Xiaohezi stronghold during the Anti-Japanese War, and led the whole platoon with the troops to continuously conquer large and small towns on both sides of the Huai River, and advanced to the north bank of the Yangtze River. When they arrived in Hefei, the 1st platoon of Gao Gaoying was assigned an important task to guard the ammunition in the Baogong Temple.
Baogong Temple is located in a small lake, with 30 or 40 rooms in the main hall and corridors, and the ammunition boxes inside and outside are piled up into mountains and mountains. Gao Gao Ying understood the weight of the burden on his body, and in order to ensure safety, he strengthened the security and restrictions on entering and leaving the warehouse, and laid off all the migrant workers who hired local trucks to load trucks, and all the dozens of truckloads of ammunition a day were loaded by the militiamen themselves, and no matter which level of head had to enter with documents.
One evening, a jeep of the head of the unit came to the Furukawa ammunition depot, which was guarded by the 1st squad. The car suddenly caught fire in the yard of the ammunition depot, and the driver panicked, and Gao Gaoying immediately ordered the militia to step forward and push the car. The fuel tank of the car suddenly exploded, and the militiamen were covered in fire. It was easy to push the car away, and everyone quickly rolled on the ground a few times before the fire was extinguished.
Due to the low eaves of the warehouse, the flames of the canopy burned the room. The high school Ying and the militiamen endured the pain caused by the burns, and continued to fight against the fire for more than an hour, and finally defeated the fire. Afterwards, he found that the existing ammunition boxes were blackened by the fire, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. In order to commend their achievements in fighting fires this time, the East China Branch Committee issued a row of "wisdom and courage to fight fires" award flags, and the high school was honored with first-class merit.
There is a bandit on Shiyan Mountain in Xiaoshan County, Zhejiang Province, and the bandit leader is nicknamed "Old White Mao". This gang of bandits was cruel, vicious, and arrogant, and the superiors instructed the subordinate regiment to cooperate with the Xiaoshan County Brigade to exterminate this group of bandits and eliminate harm for the local people.
On this day, the team of bandits chased the bandits' lair, the mountain temple, and could not be attacked for a long time. Liu Shaoshan, deputy commander of the Children's Corps, said to Zhou Dianyi, commander of the 2nd Battalion: "Transfer the platoon from the high school Ying, I don't believe you can't take it!"
Gao Gao Ying came running with two classes of militia. After Deputy Regiment Commander Liu briefed him on the situation, he said: "It's a hero or a bear, it's up to you to see Gao Gaoying today, don't embarrass the militia in the old area, don't come to see me if you can't attack it!" Gao Gaoying said: "Deputy Regiment Commander don't worry, I promise to come to see you with the head of the 'old white hair'!"
He took the crooked machine gun from one of the militiamen and said to the two militiamen beside him: "I will hold them down with my machine gun, and you will blow them up with grenades and force the bandits out to catch them alive." He mounted his machine gun on the flower wall of the courtyard and fired at the doors and windows of the main hall of the temple, and the militiamen concentrated on throwing grenades, and the bandits' gunfire suddenly became mute.
Gao Gao Ying immediately rushed to the temple with a machine gun, kicked open the temple door, the machine gun spewed out a string of tongues of fire, the recoil of the gun made him raise the muzzle, who knew that the crooked hit was right, some bandits in order to avoid bullets, climbed to the beam of the house, just hit by it. The bandits were so frightened that they screamed "wow", and Gao Gaoying shouted: "Surrender your guns and don't kill, surrender quickly!" The bandits had nowhere to hide, ran everywhere, completely collapsed, raised their hands one after another, and walked out of the temple, and the last one was in his fifties, hunchbacked and white-haired, and it was the bandit leader "Old White Hair".
In this battle, Gao Ying led two classes to annihilate more than 70 bandits, and the "Hangzhou Daily" reported on this battle in a prominent position. The 1st platoon led by Gao Gaoying was awarded the honorary title of "Model Platoon of the Front Branch" by the East China Front Headquarters.
Gao Gao Ying was witty and brave in fighting against the enemy and supporting the front, and his achievements were outstanding, and he was successively honored with 2 first-class merits, 4 second-class merits, and 5 third-class merits by the Jiaodong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army and the East China Front Headquarters, and was awarded the title of "Militia Model".
