Under the test and training of the war, Matsuno Kyaw gradually became a strong anti-war warrior and was active in the line of fire.
In March 1944 (Showa 19), the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army launched the Battle of Cheqiao (within Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province). Matsuno Kyaw asked to go to the front line, found the commander-in-chief, deputy division commander Ye Fei, and after some debate, finally got his wish.
Ye Fei was the deputy commander of the First Division of the New Fourth Army and the commander-in-chief of the Cheqiao Campaign
Matsuno wears a top hat, a blue robe, a bow and arrow on his shoulder, a trumpet in his hand, a short gun at his waist, like a hideyoshi, like a knight, like a hunter. He marched with the vanguard, the Seven Regiments, for four days and one night. When they arrived at the garrison, the commanders and fighters were hungry and sleepy, resting on the spot. Matsuno immediately turned out a wax paper steel plate iron pen and engraved the promotional content that he had thought of on the road. The regimental commander, Chen Chaohuan, repeatedly urged him to rest, and he kept repeating a sentence: "The battle is about to start, and there are many Japanese soldiers over there who have been deceived like I used to, and they need to know the truth." I want to save my fellow citizens! ”
At midnight on March 5, fighting began.
Matsuno kyaw and the regimental commander and others were at the forefront, hiding behind an earthen tomb, and the enemy's grenadiers splashed sparks around them. Soon, the enemy's wall was breached, and Matsuno acted sharply, lifted his robe into his belt, turned over, and rushed into the streets with the grenade commando.
In the early hours of the morning, only the last fortress connected from east to west remained. Matsuno quickly came to the regimental commander: "Commander, I ask to save my compatriots. In any case, let me go to the front line and shout to them! ”
The Battle of Cheqiao achieved a major victory
In front of the Western Enemy Fort, Matsuno Kyaw and others launched a shouting offensive. But at this moment, the wind was fierce, the sand was flying away, and the enemy army was afraid, and they all shrank to the East Fort. Matsuno felt that they went around to a small bunker in front of the East Fort that had been taken by the New Fourth Army, where they could see some movement in the enemy fort. However, due to the loud wind, coupled with the fact that Matsuno's throat was sore and dumb, the shouting effect was not great. At dawn, the enemies in the enemy fort can also see Matsuno Kyaw and others in the small fort, and within their effective range. His comrades pulled him over his body many times to avoid being shot coldly, but he did not care about the danger, in order to seek the best position and the best effect. However, every time a mouth is opened, the enemy's cold gun comes over. But time cannot be delayed.
Matsuno felt furious and snatched the spear from one of his teammates, without aiming, "snapping", a Japanese soldier fell in response, came up again, and was put down again. There was chaos inside the enemy fort. The third shot did not hit, and Matsuno shook his head. Just as he was reloading his bullets, a sinful bullet flew from the enemy fort and hit him in the head. Without a sound, he fell into the arms of his comrades-in-arms.
Matsuno fell into the arms of his comrades
A good son of a working Japanese people, a qualified soldier of the New Fourth Army, and an international anti-fascist warrior, Matsuno Kyaw, died under the guns of his compatriots in order to save his compatriots.
When the news of Matsuno's sacrifice came out, everyone who heard it lamented and resented. His close comrade-in-arms, the Japanese People's Liberation League, and the head of the Soviet Central Branch, Hama Naka masashi, demanded from Ye Fei that he command the artillery and blow up the last fortress of stubborn resistance!
The Young Pioneers presented flowers to Matsuno Kyaw and other martyrs
Ye Fei, commander-in-chief of the Cheqiao Campaign, gave Matsuno Jue a high evaluation. His heroic cause has left a glorious page in the glorious history of the New Fourth Army!
Chinese people will always miss Matsuno Kyaw!
