In the wilderness of Guanxian County, Shandong Province in 1943, the ground was already full of corpses, including the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army, and the puppet army serving the Japanese army. It turned out that there had just been an encounter between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese puppet army. Look at the remains of the Soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the ground.
The Japanese were very proud and angry at the same time. Because the Japanese army, which had an absolute numerical superiority, was actually severely damaged by this small unit of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, the Japanese commander looked at the corpses on the ground and ordered the puppet troops accompanying the team to replenish the guns of the Eighth Route Army, which had not yet sacrificed.
With the sound of gunfire one after another, some seriously injured Eighth Route Army soldiers lost their lives forever, and Qin Guang, the political commissar of this team, although he was also seriously injured at this time, he tried his best to hold his breath. Thinking that the pistol in his hand still had three bullets, Qin Guang thought that he could change a few more enemies when the time came.
At this moment, a puppet army came to Qin Guang's body, and just as Qin Guang was preparing to counterattack, this puppet army suddenly lowered its head and whispered in his ear: "Don't move, leave in a moment, Chinese don't kill Chinese."
Obviously, this puppet army still has some conscience. So, pretending to stay by Qin Guang's side a little bit to check, he walked away. With all the Japanese and puppet troops withdrawing, Qin Guang endured the waist wound that had been shot once and stood up with difficulty. Looking around, he was the only one left in this Eighth Route Army!
Subsequently, Qin Guang moved his steps to a nearby village with difficulty, and after asking for help from the kind villagers, he was finally sent to the rear hospital for treatment, and Qin Guang also became a "great hero of anti-Japanese resistance" respected by everyone. But in fact, this is not the first time that Qin Guang has escaped from the muzzle of the Japanese army, so what has Qin Guang experienced as a commander and fighter of the Eighth Route Army?
Qin Guang was born in 1917, and like many ordinary Chinese people at that time, Qin Guang's family was very poor. At that time, China was being invaded by foreign forces, and the domestic situation was very turbulent.
However, from a poor family, Qin Guang developed a character that was not afraid of suffering, and from an early age, under the education of his parents, he also hoped that one day he would be able to dedicate his own strength to this deeply muddowed motherland. So at the age of thirteen, Qin Guang joined the revolution and became a glorious soldier of the Red Army.
After that, Qin Guang obeyed the leadership of the party, followed the large troops around the battlefield, and also participated in the Long March of the Red Army. Although he was still young, after experiencing many tribulations and trials, Qin Guang, who was already tenacious, became more and more resolute, and because he also participated in and directed some military operations, his leadership and execution were also greatly improved.
Due to his outstanding ability and calm personality, Qin Guang was soon appointed as the deputy instructor of the third battalion of the Luxi Army. Later, with the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the army led by the Communist Party was engaged in the battle against the Japanese.
During this period, in order to develop and expand our anti-Japanese armed forces, the Eighth Route Army established a large number of anti-Japanese enemy base areas. Under the call of "military and civilian integration", we cooperated with the common people to fight guerrilla warfare.
With the continuous enhancement of the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, in 1941, the Japanese army began a major sweep of the Communist Party's anti-Japanese base areas, vowing to uproot the base areas of our army. At that time, the task of the special third battalion was to cover the retreat of the superiors of the Lu Southwest Military Region, so it was necessary to stay and cover. Therefore, the special third battalion that received the task was stationed in Su Village, planning to ambush the enemy.
Not long after, the Japanese soldiers who surrounded and suppressed the Eighth Route Army rushed to Sioux Village in six military vehicles. When the enemy army reached the ambush site in Su Village, Zhong Mingxin, commander of the three battalions, immediately gave the order to open fire. So the powerful firepower poured all over the Japanese cars in an instant.
Although the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army seized the opportunity and killed some of the Japanese troops, the Japanese troops who understood it immediately launched a defense and began to strafe the Eighth Route Army with the weapons in their hands.
As the battle progressed, the Japanese army quickly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and with its numerical superiority and more advanced weapons, our army could not change from a full-line attack to a defensive position. At the same time, the Japanese army also successively sent tanks to bombard the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. But even so, the soldiers of the Road Army were still not afraid of sacrifice.
Liu Yong, a platoon commander of the Ninth Company and three platoons, was seriously wounded under the repeated shelling of the enemy. Seeing that more and more Eighth Route Army soldiers had fallen under the tanks, Liu Yong tied several grenades around his waist, crawled to a Japanese tank under the fierce fire of the enemy, and then pulled away without fear.
With a loud "boom", Liu Yong blew up the tank with his own life, and also blocked the Japanese tank that continued to advance behind. On the other side, when the battalion commander Zhong Mingxin was commanding the soldiers to fight, he was hit by a Japanese shell, and his stomach was exploded with a large opening, and the intestines inside flowed out.
But Zhong Mingxin is worthy of being a veteran, even if he is seriously injured, he still maintains his sobriety with his strong will. But when he picked up a grenade and was about to throw it out, he was shot by the enemy again and fell completely.
Seeing this situation, several Japanese troops immediately surrounded them, but Zhong Mingxin's battalion commander not only did not show a hint of fear, but also shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" With that, he pulled away the lead of the grenade and died with several Japanese soldiers. Seeing that the battalion commander was so fearless of life and death, the other soldiers also became more and more tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice and fighting with the enemy...
At that time, Qin Guang was commanding the warriors to block the enemy troops in the south, and after hearing the news that many people in the northern battlefield had died, a wave of anger rose in his heart, and he immediately took a steel gun to shoot at the Japanese army, and several Japanese troops were killed by Qin Guang.
But despite this, the Japanese army still grasped the initiative of the battlefield. And to create more time for the evacuation of the chiefs. At this time, Qin Guang, who was the backbone of the warriors' hearts, ordered the remaining soldiers to fight for themselves and must drag down the pace of the Japanese army's advance.
In the end, the soldiers, with their tenacious will to fight, dragged the Japanese army, which was several times more powerful than themselves. However, the Japanese army was very crazy, and the continuous attack left only more than twenty soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
Watching the soldiers fall one by one, Qin Guang realized that he could never fight hard with the Japanese army again. So he instructed everyone to hide in the courtyard of the village. Watching the Eighth Route Army retreat, the Japanese army also began to encircle and suppress the remaining twenty or so Red Army soldiers.
However, in order to avoid their own casualties, the cunning and cruel Japanese army actually used poison gas bombs. In this way, as the poison gas bombs were thrown in, Qin Guang and the others began to be dizzy. The poisoned warriors even began to vomit continuously, and some even fainted directly.
Even so, however, the tenacious will to fight still plays a huge role. In order to maintain combat effectiveness, Qin Guang and others drank a lot of vinegar, or directly poured themselves soapy water, or used garlic to refresh themselves. In short, all the methods that can be used have been used, and this has barely been poisoned.
The enemy saw that there was no movement in the courtyard for a while, thinking that the soldiers were all poisoned by poison gas bombs. So several Japanese soldiers were sent in to check it out, and Qin Guang seized the opportunity to immediately throw out a grenade, killing all the Japanese soldiers.
Not long after, the gun in Qin Guang's hand was also broken by himself, and this was already the second gun he had broken. At this time, qin guang only had four warriors left by his side. But as more and more gas bombs were thrown in, the poison gas inside the house became more and more concentrated, and the whole room was even dark so that people couldn't see things.
Finally, under this concentration of poisonous gas, due to the lack of protective equipment, Qin Guang and the warriors could not support it, and gradually lost consciousness and fainted. When he woke up again, Qin Guang's men were already tied up by the Japanese.
The Japanese punched and kicked Qin Guang and forced them to ask them the direction of the withdrawal of their troops, but they had stayed behind to cover the retreat of the chiefs, so qin Guang and others naturally could not have confessed the news. Watching Qin Guang and the others not say a word, just staring at the Japanese army with angry eyes, the japanese army, who was ashamed and angry, began to torture them.
A Japanese man slashed directly at one of the Red Army fighters with a knife, who fainted due to the surge. However, the torture of the Japanese army had no effect on Qin Guang and others. Therefore, the angry Japanese decided to execute these Eighth Route Army.
At dusk, the Japanese escorted Qin Guang and others to the execution ground. On the way to the execution ground, Qin Guang thought unwillingly: Did he die like this? Can't we continue to contribute to the great Party, to the motherland that has suffered aggression?
Therefore, thinking of this, Qin Guang, who was unwilling, suddenly broke away from the Japanese people's hands and turned his head and ran. When the Japanese found out that Qin Guang had escaped, they immediately sent out more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, shooting at Qin Guang while pursuing Qin Guang. Sure enough, under the intensive fire of the enemy, although Qin Guang escaped, he was shot in the left shoulder.
After a while, Qin Guang, who was running, actually arrived. It turned out that the bullet had penetrated his lungs. Watching Qin Guang fall, the Japanese army in the distance came over with a curse and grin. One of them gritted his teeth and shot another shot at Qin Guang. And this bullet shot directly from Qin Guang's left neck and from his right shoulder. At this point, Qin Guang, who had been shot twice, finally lost consciousness again and fainted.
When Qin Guang woke up again, his clothes had been "frozen" by the blood flowing from the wound. Seeing the Japanese cars moving in the distance, Qin Guang realized that the Japanese had begun to retreat.
He also knew that he was in the wilderness, and if he did not leave here for rescue, he was afraid that he would really die here. So with his tenacious will, he stood up with all his strength. After walking slowly outside, after walking for several miles, I finally found a village.
The people in the village saw Qin Guang's appearance and knew that this was an anti-Japanese wounded soldier. So everyone immediately helped him into the village. Subsequently, Qin Guang was sent to the rear hospital of the Eighth Route Army for treatment. After several months of recuperation, the wounds on Qin Guang's body miraculously healed.
When his wounds were almost healed, Qin Guang once again entered the army alone and went to the front line of the War of Resistance. Moreover, because of Qin Guang's heroic performance in the blockade campaign, coupled with Qin Guang's outstanding personal ability, Qin Guang, who returned from injury, was appointed as the political commissar of the detachment of the Seventh Army Sub-district in Southern Hebei, and Qin Guang also continued to fight in the front line of the anti-Japanese resistance.
In 1943, as the War of Resistance Against Japan entered a phase of stalemate, the combat tasks were heavier and more difficult. At this time, the Japanese army also realized that the Chinese army was growing in battle, so it launched a more fierce attack.
At that time, the team led by Qin Guang had just moved to Guan County, and the shadow of the enemy army was discovered. In order to completely encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese armed forces, the Japanese army not only blew up the wall, but also surrounded the surrounding area.
At this time, faced with several times the enemy army of the Eighth Route Army and the huge gap in the weapons of the two sides, Qin Guang realized that he could not fight hard, so he considered letting the fighters break through separately.
In this way, the warriors, under the command of Qin Guang, dispersed through the ditch to break through. However, in the process of breaking through, due to the fierce artillery fire of the enemy, countless fighters were shot and fell. With the advance of the breakthrough, the Qin Guang branch was also blocked when it was more than a hundred meters away from the enemy army.
Thinking that he was the political commissar of this unit, even if he sacrificed himself, he had to fight for as much life as possible for the soldiers. So Qin Guang planned to use his life to create an opportunity for the soldiers to break through. Determined to be sure, Qin Guang picked up two grenades and jumped directly out of the ditch, shouting: Soldiers rush! ”
Then immediately a grenade was thrown at the enemy, and a large piece of the Japanese position fell in an instant. Just as he was about to throw another grenade, a stray bullet hit Qin Guang's waist. After losing support, Qin Guang immediately fell.
Seeing the political commissar fall, the soldiers knew that it was the Qin political commissar who was attracting fire for them. So quickly broke through. Qin Guang, who felt the wounds on his body constantly bleeding, was not sure if he could survive this time. But he really didn't want to die here. In order to fight for a glimmer of life, he began to pretend to be dead, and made up his mind that once he was discovered by the enemy, he would use the remaining grenades to die with the enemy. And that's where the scene begins!
Qin Guang, who was sent to the rear hospital again, could not be treated well because of the poor medical conditions at that time. Therefore, the bullets that had previously entered Qin Guang's body had no way to take them out, and could only take conservative treatment.
But Qin Guang was very optimistic about this, and he often said: "This is to install a steel bone in my body." Soon, Qin Guang once again threw himself into the War of Resistance Against Japan. After that, Qin Guang experienced countless wars, large and small, one of which, when he was serving as the political commissar of the hospital in the Ji Military Region, Qin Guang followed the large troops to the front, but the vehicles of the troops were strafed by Japanese military aircraft.
That time, although all the fighters were killed and Qin Guang was seriously injured, he survived. So much so that Zhang Lingbin, the logistics minister at the time, sighed: Qin Guang's life was great.
After this, with japan's unconditional surrender, China's War of Resistance won a comprehensive victory. And Qin Guang also made great contributions again in the next liberation war, and continued to write the legend of the God of War.
epilogue:
As a founding colonel, Qin Guang was the epitome of countless fierce red army soldiers at that time. From the Long March of the Red Army to the War of Resistance Against Japan, to the War of Liberation, and even to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea later, heroes like Qin Guang are worth remembering forever.
He was the representative of the warriors who threw their heads and spilled their blood. Although the old hero Qin Guang passed away in 2019, his spirit of never yielding will be passed on forever.
