A hundred years in an instant
Original song of "Guerrilla Song"
In 1937, after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, the 34-year-old He Luting set off with the Shanghai Cultural Circle Salvation Drama Team, performing all the way and walking all the way to the front line of the War of Resistance. In Linfen, Shanxi, where the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was stationed, He Luting personally saw the power of guerrilla warfare, so he created "Guerrilla Song" overnight on the earth kang of his hometown, wearing a faint oil lamp.
The version of "Guerrilla Song" in the 1940 movie "Young China": we are all sharpshooters, every bullet destroys an enemy, we are all flying troops, even if the mountains and waters are high and deep...
Young He Luting
He Luting said that without the Eighth Route Army troops, "Guerrilla Song" could not be written. At that time, the combat conditions were extremely harsh and bullets were scarce, and the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield gradually formed the principle of "three no fights": that is, the target was not accurate and did not fight, the devils did not fight when they were far away, and they could not see clearly and did not fight the target. The first sentence in "Guerrilla Song", "We are all sharpshooters, and every bullet destroys an enemy" vividly depicts the magical "skill" that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have cultivated in a desperate situation under the realistic conditions of backward equipment and lack of materials.

The sound of fighting on the battlefield outside the bomb shelter gradually evolved into the drum of the snare drum in He Luting's mind, and the flying flames of war turned into the pulsating notes of his pen. In the newly established Artillery Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, He Luting was surprised to learn that the Eighth Route Army, which had no artillery unit at the time of departure from Shaanxi, had established its own artillery regiment by relying on the guns and artillery of the Japanese army captured all the way.
Peng Xiaofeng, son of Peng Xuefeng, former director of the Eighth Route Army's office in Jin: These field artillery are not available to us in the Eighth Route Army, they are all captured by the Japanese, and you are like some of his lyrics, "No guns, no cannons, the enemy builds for us.", you are inspired by some of these.

"Guerrilla Song": No guns, no cannons, the enemy made us ...
In 1938, at the evening party of senior cadres of the Eighth Route Army, He Luting commanded the drama team to perform "Guerrilla Song" for the first time. The performance conditions were rudimentary, and there was no instrument to accompany it, and the dramatist Ouyang Shanzun simply used a whistle to accompany it.
Ouyang Shanzun: Saying that there was no accompaniment, I whistled very well at that time, Elder He said, you play well, you have that big tone, he said, you use this accompaniment. At that time, some of our senior commanders He Long and Liu Bocheng all went.
Peng Xuefeng, director of the Eighth Route Army's office in Jin, was making a mobilization report at the cadre meeting, and his speech inspired He Luting to create "Guerrilla Song."
The "Guerrilla Song" with the whistle sang the voice of the guerrillas, and also sang into the hearts of every eighth route army officer. Commander Zhu De copied the lyrics neatly in his diary, and some troops deliberately sent people to rush dozens of miles to find He Luting to copy the score, and even more teams sang "Guerrilla Song" and went to the battlefield. "Guerrilla Song" was quickly sung in various enemy base areas in North China, and quickly spread to the great Wall and beyond, north and south of the great river, igniting the determination of the military and the people of the whole country to defend the national territory and attack the Japanese Kou.
