From August to December 1942, in order to crush the "encroachment" of the Japanese army, the blockade and the attack of the recalcitrant army, the main force of the Eighth Route Army stationed in the coastal area organized and launched three counterattacks against the Kuomintang diehard army in the Jiazi Mountain District, known as the Anti-Stubborn Campaign of Jiazishan Mountain, which wrote a brilliant and colorful stroke for the history of the Shandong Revolution. Rizhao Party History Education Base series reports, today let us walk into the Battle of Koshiyama Memorial Hall.

"Sun Huancai and Tao Jingkui told them to be caught, and the commander of the engineer battalion was escorted, and the leader of the regiment was Chen Guang, and he was from the old fourth regiment." This is an interview with Xu Shiji, a veteran soldier in the collection of the Battle memorial hall of Koshiyama. Xu Shiji, 105, was once a soldier in the "Old Fourth Regiment" of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. In 1942, he took part in a major battle in the history of Rizhao and the history of the 115th Division, the Battle of Koshiyama. Looking back on those years, his voice is sonorous and his soldier's soul is still there.

Ma Ji, director of the Cultural Tourism Service Center of Huangdun Town, Lanshan District, told reporters that As a witness to the Battle of Jiazishan, This interview brought the party members and teenagers who came to visit to relive the red years.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Jiazi Mountains, which are tens of miles away, were the hinterland of the coastal area, and its strategic position was very important. In 1942, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the most difficult period, the Japanese army stepped up the "encroachment" and "sweeping" against the Japanese base areas, and the Kuomintang diehards also constantly created reactionary frictions. At that time, the Jiazi Mountain Area was occupied by the 111th Division of the Nationalist 57th Army. Chang Endo, commander of the 111th Division and a special member of the CPC, resolutely declared an uprising because he was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's anti-communist capitulation policy and brought the officers and men of the 111th Division to the coastal anti-Japanese base area and into the arms of the party and the people. At this time, the reactionary Sun Huancai and others in the 111th Division reorganized the 111th Division, collected the remnants, colluded with the local stubbornness, and occupied the Jiazi Mountains in mid-August, frantically opposing the communists and the people, posing a serious threat to the coastal base areas. In order to liberate the people of the Jiazi Mountains and consolidate and develop the anti-Japanese base areas, on August 14, 1942, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army launched the first campaign of the Kashishan counterattack against the rebellious and recalcitrant army, and by December, our army had held three anti-stubborn battles in Koshiyama. The koshiyama Battle Memorial Hall focuses on this battle, and uses photos, videos and physical objects to show in detail the background of the era of the three wars of Koshiko, the fuse of the war, and the history of the invasion of Koshiyama, the victory of the first battle, the transfer of standby, and the annihilation of the stubborn enemy.

"At that time, the weapons were very simple, mainly based on earthen guns, and the above earthen guns were excavated from the battlefield of Fupeng Mountain, which was the main battlefield of the second anti-stubborn campaign, which shows how difficult the war was at that time." Matthi introduced.

This statue recreates the third combat meeting of the Battle of Jiazishan held by the Shandong Branch Bureau and the Shandong Military Region on December 16, 1942, on the garrison of Junanping, and attended by Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan, Sub-Bureau Secretary Zhu Rui, Acting Division Commander Chen Guang, and Chief of Staff Chen Shiyu. The next day, with more than 10,000 troops under the leadership of Luo Ronghuan and Chen Guang, the four-way column launched an attack on the stubborn army at Jiazishan. The ring screen projection reproduces the bloody and fierce battle of our army on Koshiyama for 14 days. Under the powerful offensive of the Eighth Route Army, Sun Huancai could not support it, and led the remnants to flee in a hurry, and the Jiazi Mountains were finally recovered for the victory of the Eighth Route Army.

"I hit my barefoot, my shoes were broken, and I didn't know if it was rain or snow..." Recalls Xu Shiji, a veteran of the War of Resistance.

The three anti-stubborn battles of Jiazishan have left a brilliant and colorful stroke in the history of the Shandong revolution, which has opened a new chapter in the revolutionary struggle in the coastal area and Rizhao. Less than a year after its opening, more than 50,000 visitors have come to the Battle Memorial Hall of Koshiyama to feel the beacon years and look for the red genes that are deeply imprinted on this land.

"We must never forget the past, always remember these revolutionary martyrs, and inherit the revolutionary spirit of the old revolutionary martyrs." Sun Weixiang, a party member of Nanchenjiagou Village in Huangdun Town, said.

Ma Ji said that every visitor should feel the red spirit, inherit the red spirit, and accept the red edification in the glorious course composed by the revolutionary martyrs with their lives and blood. (Rizhao Radio and Television Station Rong Media Reporter: Lu Xiaowei Jia Zhonggen)
