The Spiritual Genealogy of the Chinese Communists 丨The Spirit of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance: Qi Through changhong Heroic Epic

According to Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, 28 Oct (Xinhua) -- "The party was the earliest to be founded, the longest insistence on resisting Japan, and the conditions were the most arduous."

These three "most" characters describe the northeast anti-Japanese armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party of China during the Japanese invasion of China, especially the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army.

On September 18, 90 years ago, the Japanese army blew up the South Manchuria Railway tracks near Shenyang's Wicker Lake, brazenly launched the September 18 Incident, and began a long-planned war of aggression against China.

The September 18 Incident also opened the prelude to the world anti-fascist war, and the people of Chinese have since risen up against the Japanese invaders in the white mountains and black waters to fight for world peace and justice.

On September 18, 90 years later, the sharp air defense siren once again broke through the skyline of Shenyang, reminding future generations to remember the tragic history and remember the revolutionary martyrs.

Turning to the textbook of history, we ask: What made the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army make so many sacrifices, persist in such a long struggle, and leave such an echo for so long?

There is a kind of sacrifice called a communist

The autumn sun shines on Liulin Street in the Dadong District of Shenyang City, and the newly renovated Beiding Old Site Exhibition Hall is silent, and everything remains the same as it was then.

In 1931, after the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, when the Nationalist government was still lucky and strictly ordered the army to "not resist", the Chinese Communist Party had taken the lead in action.

On the second day of the September 18 Incident, a copy of the "Declaration of the Manchurian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Armed Occupation of Manchuria by Japanese Imperialism" was plastered on the streets and alleys of Shenyang, angrily pointing out that "the occurrence of this incident is not accidental!" "Call on the people of the country to rise up against Japan."

"Imperialism can be expelled from China only under the leadership of the Communist Party!" This cross-brow cold text to the Japanese Kou now reads like a kind of preview.

Professor Wang Jianxue of the Party School of the Cpc Liaoning Provincial CPC Committee said: At the time of the outbreak of the national crisis, the CPC stood at the forefront of the struggle and was the first political force in the whole of China to issue a declaration of the War of Resistance.

With the leadership of the Communist Party, there is a beacon in the darkness. The people of all strata and patriotic officers and men in the northeast have organized various forms of anti-Japanese detachments, such as the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. The Communist Party of China actively carried out work in the anti-Japanese volunteer army and organized the anti-Japanese armed forces under the leadership of the party.

Yang Jingyu, Zhou Baozhong, Feng Zhongyun, Wei Zhengmin... They are either young revolutionaries, or high-caliber students studying in Moscow, or "rich second generations" with well-off families, but when they come to the northeast, they have only one identity - communists!

In February 1936, the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast were unified into the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army.

It was a time of heroes everywhere, an era of sacrifice without regret.

When Yang Jingyu was 35 years old, the enemy dissected his body and found only dry grass, bark and cotton wool in his stomach; Zhao Shangzhi was 34 years old when he died, and his body was thrown into the ice cave of the Songhua River; Chen Hanzhang, when he was 27 years old, was cruelly cut off by the enemy and cut off his eyes...

The fierce battle reduced the number of anti-coalition troops from more than 30,000 at the peak to less than 2,000 at the minimum.

According to incomplete statistics, from 1931 to the surrender of Japan on August 15, 1945, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army eliminated more than 180,000 enemies.

"Matching words with deeds is a precious quality of communists, and the Communist Party of China was not only the initiator of the 14-year War of Resistance, but also the earliest practitioner of the War of Resistance." Zhang Hongjun, a researcher at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, commented.

There is a belief called patriotism

What kind of life have the soldiers of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army lived in the past 14 years?

Because the enemy was "firm in the wall and clear the wilderness," the anti-coalition soldiers often could not eat a grain of grain for several months, and could only fill their hunger with bark and grass roots; the Japanese army was full of materials and red light, and the anti-coalition troops even relied on picking the clothes worn by the enemy; in the cold winter in the northeast, the spit exported into ice, and the soldiers hiding in the mountains did not even dare to fire...

What kind of beliefs have sustained them for 14 years?

The anti-coalition soldiers left some clues.

"Reclaim the lost land of our country and put an end to the life of cattle and horses and slaves." Yang Jingyu personally wrote the "Military Song of the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army", singing the heroic soul of the army in the ice and snow;

"Mother does not use a thousand words to educate you, but to educate you with practice." When you grow up, hopefully don't forget that your mother died for your country! Zhao Yiman wrote a family letter for his young son "Ning Er" before the uprising, and the feelings of licking calves and patriotism blended;

"Fighting and dying for the liberation of the motherland is our greatest honor!" In the face of the Japanese puppet army's forced surrender, the words of the 8 female officers and men of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army led by Leng Yun before throwing themselves into the river wrote a magnificent epic poem of "eight women throwing themselves into the river";

"Save the people from water and fire", in order to realize this ideal, the Shanxi youth, whose original name was Guan Youwei, changed his name to Wei Zhengmin, and his grand ambitions were all in the unspoken;

……

country! country! The heroes of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition have sworn to protect China to the death.

In the face of the life and death of the country and the nation, the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation have joined hands with the enemy and united in will, and have played a patriotic song that swallows mountains and rivers.

"Patriotism is a powerful spiritual motive force that encourages the people of the Chinese to safeguard national independence and national dignity and forge ahead courageously in the torrent of history, a powerful engine that drives the Chinese nation to ride the wind and waves and march forward courageously, and a magnificent banner that leads the Chinese people and the Chinese nation to burst out of the mountains and seas of historical might and overcome all difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead!" General Secretary Xi Jinping's sonorous and powerful words have become the best footnote to the heroic feats of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance.

There is a kind of inheritance called self-improvement

Autumn is crisp and sunny. Under clear skies, the G8103 Fuxing EMU train arrived at Shenyang North Railway Station at 9:18 a.m.

The driver, Wang Wei, looked ahead and constantly changed his password. World-class high-speed rail operating systems surround him.

Coincidentally, the Beijing-Harbin Railway, traveled by the G8103 Fuxing EMU train, passed dozens of meters away from the Wicker Lake section of the South Manchuria Railway, which was blown up by the Japanese army that year.

Former South Manchuria, today's Jingha. Wang Wei sighed: "It is resentful to think of when the Japanese built railways on Chinese soil to plunder resources and even launch wars. Now we have our own railways and high-speed rails, and only when the country is strong will there be a better future. ”

The three eastern provinces where the high-speed rail is galloping, and the autumn wind is now again, changing the human world.

Heilongjiang carefully protected and developed the secret camp established by the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army behind enemy lines, the Anti-Japanese Secret Camp, and one red tourist base after another began to take shape.

From the foot of Changbai Mountain to the top of the Songnen Plain, Jilin is based on the advantages of the old industrial base and the national commodity grain base, and a number of new industrial projects have grown vigorously.

Liaoning has deeply excavated the spirit of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, established on-site teaching points, created high-quality courses, and transformed the old sites of revolutionary relics into intuitive on-site classrooms.

In October this year, as a pilot unit for the construction of the red gene bank of the Chinese national culture gene bank (phase I) in 2021, the construction of the big data project of the Northeast Anti-Corruption Federation Historical Fact Exhibition Hall was completed as scheduled. The story of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army will go out of the mountain city of Benxi with the help of big data and enter the hearts of more Chinese.

Patriotism, the core of our national spirit and the spiritual bond of the Chinese nation in unity and struggle and unremitting self-improvement, has never been so close to unite all the sons and daughters of china.

90 years ago, the Chinese nation began its 14-year arduous War of Resistance; 90 years later, the Chinese people are moving towards the second centenary goal.

On the land where the blood of the ancestors was sprinkled, the spirit of the Northeast Anti-Corruption League was endless.
