Preface
"If you want to kill me, you have to agree to my two conditions." The 12-year-old Little Red Army, before being shot by the bandits, made two demands, but after hearing this, the bandits not only did not kill him, but gave him a sum of money to release him.
Who is this little Red Army? What exactly did he ask? Can make the bandit army so shocked!
12-year-old Little Red Army
This little Red Army's name is Zhang Jinlong, and he is a little soldier of the "Doll Battalion" of the Red Third Army. Because of the poverty of his family, Zhang Jinlong did not have a full meal, and later the village was also slaughtered due to the arrival of the Japanese army.
In order to protect the child, Zhang Jinlong's parents hid Zhang Jinlong in a water tank and told him not to come out no matter what happened. After explaining this sentence, Zhang Jinlong's father was killed by the Japanese army with a knife and his head was cut off, and his mother also committed suicide by jumping into a well because of the humiliation.
The little Zhang Jinlong trembled as he listened to everything outside. After the devil left, Zhang Jinlong came out of the well, looked at the blood all over the ground, and his father's corpse, and cried in despair.
At this moment, his hatred for Japanese devils has reached its peak, and he vows to avenge his parents and kill them all. After the death of his parents, Zhang Jinlong, who was still young, could only save his life by eating hundreds of meals, and he knew that only by living could he avenge his parents.
Later, when his village passed by a Red Army, Zhang Jinlong looked at them and seemed to have found a goal in life, as long as he joined the Red Army, he could fight devils and help people in need.
With this belief, Zhang Jinlong applied to join the Red Army, originally his age did not meet the standard, but the Red Army saw that he was determined, and learned of his background, and agreed to let him join the team.
In 1935, during the Red Army's Long March, Zhang Jinlong followed the army over the mountains and mountains, the process was very difficult, but Zhang Jinlong never shouted hardship or tiredness, plus he was young, and the comrades in the army took good care of him.
During the Long March, the Kuomintang never stopped encircling and suppressing the Red Army, and fierce battles often broke out between the two armies.
By the time Zhang Jinlong woke up, the army had disappeared. After all, he was young, and at this time he was alone in the wilderness, and he would inevitably be afraid in his heart, but he thought about it and realized that he was already a Red Army, and the Red Army was not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or sacrifice, so he quickly cheered up.
In order to catch up with the large army, Zhang Jinlong dragged his injured leg and advanced alone along the road to the north, but his wound was torn and bleeding, and finally Zhang Jinlong fainted again.
Fortunately, at this time, a hunter passed by this place and saw Zhang Jinlong's face was blue and his leg was bleeding, so he immediately felt pity and took the child home. And picked the bullet from his leg, and Orion's wife took care of it, and Orion would never have thought that it was this child who had saved their lives in the end.
The peculiarity of that period was that there was the Japanese invasion of the mainland externally, the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army by the Kuomintang internally, and at the same time the bandit army was rampant, among which the Ma Jiajun in the northwest and the Zhensong army in the western Henan were the most arrogant.
Zhang Jinlong raised it in Orion's house for a few days, and his health gradually improved. At this time, his most urgent thought was to chase after the large army, but his body was not completely well, so Orion asked him to raise it again and wait until it was completely well before leaving.
As a result, suddenly one day, Ma Jiajun broke into the village and began to loot the people's wealth and the communist army. Because Orion saved Zhang Jinlong, he naturally became the target of Ma Jiajun's crusade.
At Orion's house, they saw Zhang Jinlong who was only holding a Red Army cap, wasn't this the Communist Party they were looking for? The bandit army dragged Zhang Jinlong to the leader, and there was excitement in his eyes that could not be hidden.
Seeing that Zhang Jinlong was treated like this, the Orion couple hurriedly went up to stop him. "He's still a child, please let him go."
After hearing this, the bandit kicked the two of them to the ground, "What kind of thing are you, you dare to fight us." After that, he took them away and pointed his guns at them, intending to shoot them and tell everyone in the village that whoever dared to shield the Red Army would end up in this fate.
It's just that before the bandits could shoot, Zhang Jinlong broke free from the shackles, blocked in front of the two, and said to the bandits: "I am the Red Army, what did you do to rush at me and let them go." ”
The bandits saw that a hairy boy was quite guts, and since he recognized the identity of the Red Army, of course they had to dispose of him. So the bandits took Zhang Jinlong to the wasteland outside the village, intending to shoot him.
Two sentences to save his life
Facing the danger of death, Zhang Jinlong was not afraid, but he did not understand that these people were all Chinese, and if they did not aim their guns at the Japanese devils, why should they aim at their own compatriots?
He thinks that death is not terrible, what is terrible is that in the future, there may be more people who will die at the hands of their compatriots, what is the difference between this and cannibalism.
His questioning did not win the bandits' repentance and sympathy, but felt that Zhang Jinlong had the courage to blame them, this child would not work if he didn't get rid of it.
Just when the bandits were about to shoot, Zhang Jinlong said again: "You can kill me, but I have two requests, you agreed, if you want to kill, you can kill you." ”
Listening to Zhang Jinlong's words, the bandit army temporarily put down the gun, they thought to themselves, there are so many words when death is coming, anyway, he is also a person who is going to die, then give him a chance to let him say it, so the bandit army raised his head to Zhang Jinlong and signaled him to say what he wanted.
"First, you can kill me, but you can't hurt Orion and other villagers."
Hearing this, the bandit army felt that this kid was really naïve, and they didn't refute it, waiting for Zhang Jinlong to say the second request.
"Second, you can kill me with a knife, not a gun, and the bullets should be kept for fighting devils, not wasted on your compatriots."
After listening to Zhang Jinlong's words, the bandits all bowed their heads in shame. They are all Chinese, but they are not as reasonable as a child, and they don't have the heart to kill Zhang Jinlong now.
The leader of the bandit army ordered Zhang Jinlong to be released, and left him a bag of silver dollars, which he handed over to his subordinates, and sent him back to Orion's house safe and sound, after which the bandit army left the village.
For Zhang Jinlong, this time was a narrow escape, but he was not complacent, he only had the large army of the Red Army in his heart. He distributed the silver dollars left behind by the bandits to the farmers, thanked them for their care, and then left alone.
Zhang Jinlong was the epitome of all the Red Army at that time, he experienced hardships, but he did not fall because of this, but had a firm faith.
At the age of twelve, he should have enjoyed a happy childhood and should have played carefree, but at that time, he had already experienced war and death. Without them, there would be no China today.
