Who could have imagined that such a "weak" woman wearing a cheongsam and not surprising appearance, in order to avenge her dead husband on the anti-Japanese battlefield, actually took up a machine gun, killed 10 Japanese soldiers with a "surprise attack", snatched her husband's body back, and when the machine gun bullets were finished, she began to fight with the japanese troops who surrounded her in close quarters, and after stabbing 4 Japanese troops, she was exhausted and stabbed by 3 Japanese troops...
Jiang Mei wearing a cheongsam
Who is this little-known heroine? How did his husband sacrifice?
In early August 1944, the 15th Division of the Japanese Kou East China Dispatch Army sent a squadron of troops to Lishui, a major area in southwest Zhejiang. In the face of the menacing Japanese Kou, the 21st Division of the Nationalist 88th Army decided to engage it in a bloody battle in Lishui. In order to effectively annihilate the enemy, the 21st Division sent the 63rd Regiment to defend Lishui to lure the enemy deeper, so as to concentrate the Japanese army in the Songyang and Yiping areas. Peng Xueru, the commander of the 63rd Regiment who graduated from the Army University, was an excellent soldier who led the way. After receiving the order, in order to create favorable conditions for the large army to annihilate the enemy and determined to coexist and die with the city, he ordered the soldiers to cut off all the pontoon bridges in the water gate of Lishui City, and then said to his wife Jiang Mei: "Guarding the national land is the natural duty of the soldiers, and I am only willing to coexist and die with the city in this life." If you die in battle, you want to save yourself, don't worry about me. ”
Peng Xueru had planned to send his wife out of Lishui City, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly.
On August 23, the Japanese army successively attacked the Tongqin and Huangbi fronts, the Japanese attack speed was very fast, it took only 3 days to attack the City of Lishui, and Jiang Mei's way out of the city was blocked.
Jiang Mei followed her husband through the battlefield for a long time, and also learned to shoot, and the marksmanship was accurate, and also learned the fighting skills of the bayonet, usually practicing, and the male soldiers who fought against her did not have the upper hand. Jiang Mei could not leave, she was also fearless, she said to her husband: "At the critical moment, I can still go into battle and kill the enemy." ”
Jiang Mei, Peng Xueru
The Japanese attacked Lishui with heavy troops and heavy artillery. Peng Xueru could not take care of so much, he immediately led the officers and men into the battlefield, the Nationalist army with favorable fortifications to repel the Japanese army attacked many times, fierce fighting from the morning until dark, successively repelled the Japanese army many attacks, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.
In order to take Lishui as soon as possible, the Japanese army did not hesitate to violate international conventions and carried out "germ warfare" and "poison gas warfare" against our anti-Japanese officers and men.
At this time, the whole City of Lishui was in a mess, and the water gate outside the city and the ravines were full of corpses.
At about 7 o'clock that night, the Japanese army, led by the traitors, climbed the city wall from the west side of the weakly defended Baiyun Mountain into the city, and Zhao Chuhao, the battalion commander of the second battalion guarding here, fled without a fight and led his troops to escape across the river. The Japanese army drove straight in, as if into no man's land, all the way to the vicinity of Xiaoshuimen, and the 63rd Regiment fell into the situation of being attacked from the belly and back. At 9 p.m., a large number of Japanese troops, led by traitors, killed the command post of the 63rd Regiment.
Peng Xueru saw the situation and led the regimental command post and the guard company to rush into battle, but soon fell into a desperate situation. When he led his troops to break through to the City God Temple, he was swept by the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army and fell to the ground and died heroically, and the Japanese army continued to attack the city.
The Japanese army had rushed into the city like a fierce god. When they rushed to an alleyway, suddenly a burst of machine gun fire came from the opposite side, and several devils in front of them fell to the ground in response. They saw a tall woman with a light machine gun shooting forward, followed by a group of soldiers, and the Japanese were hiding backwards.
The young woman led the soldiers out of a bloody road and rushed to the place where Peng Xueru was sacrificed. He picked up Peng's body, gently touched his face with his hand, and gently lowered it again. They had a clear division of labor, some people covered, and some people snatched the body of the regimental commander Peng Xueru back and carried it away.
This woman is Peng Xueru's wife Jiang Mei, after the machine gun bullets were fired, immediately began to fight with the encircling Japanese troops in close combat, after she stabbed 4 Japanese troops to death, in the end, the exhausted Jiang Mei was stabbed by 3 Japanese troops and fell in a pool of blood.
Jiang Mei, she killed 14 Japanese soldiers in a row and avenged her husband.
In this battle, except for the second battalion that escaped, most of the 63rd Regiment died heroically. After the battle, the Japanese army cleared the battlefield, although the battlefield was an enemy, but the spirit of the soldier who was killed by Peng Xueru was admired, especially for a young woman like Jiang Mei, who could burst out such a huge force, and was deeply shocked by the courage to save her husband.
To this end, the Japanese wing commander ordered that the couple be buried with the same etiquette as the samurai. The Japanese army also erected a monument for Jiang Mei, which was engraved with the words": "Zhi Na の女戦神". In front of Jiang Mei's grave, the Japanese army bowed its head and bowed its head, paying deep respect to this heroic Chinese woman.
The heroic sons and daughters of China have forged the heroic and indomitable Great Wall with flesh and blood, and your glorious deeds of heroically defending your homeland and resisting the invaders deserve to be remembered forever by our descendants.
