On April 10, during the relocation of the "Snow Village Battle" martyr's tomb in Suning County, Cangzhou City, the staff found a lens from the chest of the remains of the No. 31 martyr, which contained a photo of a young woman. Although it has been buried for 82 years, the photos are still clear. Who is she, and what is the story between them?
The Xuecun Martyrs Tomb is located in the northwest corner of Wobei Village, Suning County, Cangzhou City. In order to better protect the remains of martyrs, it is also convenient for the masses to pay respects and pay respects. On April 9, with the approval of the higher-level authorities, the local government decided to relocate the scattered martyrs' tombs to the Suning County Martyrs Cemetery. At the Snow Village Martyrs' Tomb, the staff was divided into three groups, each group was responsible for digging a layer, and each digging layer groped for a layer to avoid hurting or omitting the remains of the martyrs.
At the end of the battle, the martyrs were buried on the spot by the local people, and the burial location was not very deep, and on the second day of the relocation, martyr No. 31 was found, although the hand bone part was gone, it can be seen from the position of the arm, and he kept his hands crossed on his chest when he died. And at the location of the former hand bones, there was an unexpected discovery.
A small round lens, with a black and white photo of a woman sandwiched between the lenses, although the surroundings were covered with mud, the woman's dignified and delicate face was spotless and clearly visible, and this scene shocked everyone present. The person in the photo is his wife, lover, or mother, and although the identity cannot be determined, it must be the person the martyr is most concerned about. In order to avoid the weathering and oxidation of the lens, the on-site staff immediately vacuum-sealed it.
In addition to lenses, magazines, copper plates and shirt buttons were also unearthed at the scene. Based on these clues, it was initially inferred that the martyr may have been an officer. On April 14, the staff came to Wobei Village, where the martyrs' tomb is located in Snow Village, hoping to find more clues from some local elderly villagers.
Wang Jizheng, a villager in Wobei Village, Suning County, Cangzhou City, said that it is not easy to find the person in the photo based on just one photo, and most of the people buried in the martyrs' tomb are members of the Youth Assault Company, who are basically between 17 or 8 to 234 years old.
Yuan Shukai, director of the Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism of Suning County, Cangzhou City, introduced that the battle was known as the Snow Village Battle, also known as the Snow Village Breakout Battle, which occurred on June 8, 1942, when the commanders and fighters of the 23rd Regiment and the 30th Regiment of the 8th Division of Jizhong were surrounded by Japanese invaders, and the battle was fought from morning to dusk.
Yuan Shukai participated in the creation of the documentary "Monument to the Plains", and even after many years, he is still deeply impressed by the details of "The Bloody Battle in Snow Village". On May 1, 1942, the invading Japanese army began to launch a tragic sweep against the Jizhong region of the Eighth Route Army. On June 8, a fierce attack was launched on the Snow Village in Suning County, and the Snow Village Breakout Battle was the heaviest battle at that time. Suning is like a bun filling, enemies from all directions gather towards Suning. In the face of the enemy's powerful firepower, the fighters did not flinch and fought tenaciously until the last moment. But in the end, due to being outnumbered, nearly 1,000 commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army died heroically, and the commander Chang Deshan and political commissar Wang Yuanyin were martyred.
Wang Jizheng, a villager of Wobei Village, Suning County, Cangzhou City:
The team wanted to find a breakthrough to stand out, but almost all of the 30th regiment were sacrificed, at first one person wrapped it in a kang mat and then buried, and then because there were too many people, it was found that the kang mat was not enough, so only half a mat could be used.
Director of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau of Suning County, Cangzhou City
Yuan Shukai:
Ordinary people every household took out the kang mat to bury the martyrs, and after this unearthing, there was indeed such a scene at the scene, and there were many fragments of the kang mat.
Under the pine and cypress trees
The martyrs of the revolution are immortal
From the Xuecun Martyrs' Tomb to the Suning County Martyrs' Cemetery, the staff carefully put the coffin containing the remains of the martyrs into the tomb, and the martyrs will continue to sleep here under the bright five-star red flag. Subsequently, it will also be replicated here according to the one-to-one ratio of the Snow Village Martyrs' Tomb.
Yuan Shukai, director of the Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism of Suning County, Cangzhou City, said that this photo is too long for more than 80 years, and if it is not well protected, it is easy to oxidize and be destroyed, so they contacted some experts to protect these as soon as possible, and then shoot some videos rescued, so that more people can see and remember this history.
And in order to complete the martyr's reluctant concern, the search continues......
Chief of the Preferential Care and Praise Section of the Veterans Affairs Bureau of Suning County, Cangzhou City
Wang Yalun:
We don't know the names of the soldiers, they are buried in such a strange place for liberation, in order to let people live a good life, 11 complete martyrs' remains have been sampled by the Cangzhou City Public Security Bureau for DNA, and then in the martyr praise section of the Chinese martyrs network for the martyr to find his relatives, hoping to find his relatives as soon as possible, for the martyrs but he put his wish on his chest, find his relatives, this is the best consolation for the martyrs.
In the battle of Xuecun, the commanders and fighters of the 8th Division of the Jizhong Military Region fought bloodily and made tremendous sacrifices despite the strong enemy, but the soldiers of the 8th Division did not flinch, and many soldiers who were separated in the battle did everything possible to find troops. After two months of fighting, the 8th Division regrouped three brigades and detachments, about three or four hundred people, most of whom were soldiers who had been separated from the battle in Snow Village. After that, the Eighth Army Division was again active in the anti-Japanese battlefield in central Hebei, and they carried out sabotage warfare, tunnel warfare, and mine warfare, formed a military engineering team, attacked strongholds, and pulled out artillery towers, becoming a strong force in the anti-Japanese battlefield in North China. The relocation of a martyr's tomb unveils a dusty history for us and tells a story that can be sung and cried. Let us remember history on the road of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, cherish the memory of the martyrs, and once again pay tribute to the heroes of the Chinese nation!
