Stories, deeds and songs of revolutionary martyrs

Dong Cunrui sacrificed his life to blow up the bunker

In the early morning of the 25th, before dawn, there was silence on the battlefield. The soldiers waited anxiously for the signal for the general attack. As three red signal bombs soared into the sky, the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army suppressed all the enemy firepower on Moss Mountain. In the smoke and fire, the brick tower on the top of Moshan Mountain was knocked down by the Japanese artillery, and the turret was also knocked down. After a while, the red flag of victory was planted on the top of Moshan Mountain. At 5:25, the order was issued, and Dong Cunrui's Sixth Company served as the main attack, moving from the northeast of the city to the outer fortifications of Longhua Middle School. The machine guns of the national army tightly blocked their path forward. The Sixth Company's firepower group, assault group, demolition group, and support group cooperated with each other and quickly breached the old Yamen bunker group northeast of Longhua Middle School. Dong Cunrui led the demolition team to continuously demolish 4 enemy turrets and 5 bunkers, successfully completing the task of clearing the peripheral fortifications of Longhua Middle School. At 3:30 pm, the second general attack began. The Sixth Company launched a charge towards Longhua Middle School. Suddenly, the enemy's machine guns swept over like a torrential rain, pinning the soldiers under a slope of earth, unable to raise their heads. It turned out that these were six tongues of fire spurting from a bridge across the Han River in the northeast corner of Longhua Middle School. The cunning enemy built a cleverly disguised bunker on the bridge, blocking the path of our army's charge. At this time, Dong Cunrui and his comrades petitioned the company commander to blow up the bridge-shaped bunker. Deputy Company Commander Bai sent three blasters including Li Zhende to blast. Not far away, the explosive package was hit by enemy bullets. Li Zhende was killed and the other two blasters were seriously injured. At this time, an urgent order came from the regiment headquarters, asking the Sixth Company to rush in from the northeast corner of the middle school and cooperate with the brother troops that had broken into the middle school to quickly resolve the battle. Deputy Company Commander Bai ordered Dong Cunrui to blow up the bunker. Dong Cunrui picked up the explosive bag, bent down and rushed out. Under the cover of Zhi Shunyi's firepower, he crawled forward for a while, and then stood up and ran fiercely through the smoke of the grenade thrown by Zhi Shunyi. In the bridge-shaped bunker, the machine guns of the national army fired harder and harder, and the bullets passed by his ears with a sharp whistling sound. When he was about to rush into the open field, Dong Cunrui pointed to a small mound in front of him and said to Zhi Shunyi: "You can take cover here!" A burst of grenades blew up the Luzhai and barbed wire fence in front of the enemy's bunker. The machine guns of the national army rushed towards him again. Suddenly, Dong Cunrui fell down. Zhi Shunyi stood up and was about to rush forward. He suddenly got up, ran quickly and jumped into the dry river ditch, entering the territory of the national army. Fire dead zone. His leg was injured and bleeding. He quickly rushed under the bridge with the explosive bag in hand. The bridge is about one person high from the ground, and is made of bricks and stones on both sides. There are no ditches, no edges, and no place to place explosive charges anywhere. If you put the explosive pack on the river bed, you won't be able to blow up the bunker, and there won't be anything on the river bed to replace the gunpowder holder. What to do? Zhi Shunyi watched all this clearly and clenched his fists in anxiety. Suddenly, a loud charge bugle sounded behind them, and it was time for a general attack. Dong Cunrui resolutely used his body as a support, held up the explosive pack with his left hand, lit the fuse with his right hand, and shouted: "For New China, charge!". At this time, Zhi Shunyi, who was only 50 meters away from Dong Cunrui, was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him and rushed to his comrades under the bridge desperately. After Dong Cunrui saw it, he shouted sternly: "Get down! Get down! Get down!!" "Immediately afterwards, there was a loud crash under the bridge, and the enemy's bunker was blown up. Dong Cunrui used his own life to clear the obstacles for the troops to advance. At this time, he was only 19 years old.

General Yang Jingyu

was born into a poor peasant family in Liwan Village, Queshan County, Henan Province (now part of Gucheng Township, Yicheng District, Zhumadian City). His real name is Ma Shangde. When he was engaged in underground party work in Northeast China, he used the pseudonyms Zhang Guanyi and Naichao. When he went to South Manchuria to lead the anti-Japanese armed struggle in 1932, he changed his name to the statue (20 photos) Yang Jingyu. Yang Jingyu's father, Ma Xiling, was a poor farmer.

Yang Jingyu entered a private school when he was eight years old. In 1918, he entered Queshan County Higher Primary School (today's Queshan County Jingyu Primary School). In 1923, he entered Kaifeng Textile and Dye Industrial School (now Henan Engineering College) and began to accept Marxism. In June 1925, he joined the Communist Youth League of China. In March 1927, in order to welcome the Northern Expeditionary Army's successful northward march, he led the Queshan Peasants' Uprising. Joined the Communist Party of China in May of the same year. In early 1928, he was transferred to the Henan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and was arrested and imprisoned three times in Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places.

In 1929, he went to Northeast China on the order of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and served as secretary of the Fushun Special Branch of the Communist Party of China.

He was arrested in the autumn of the same year and continued to fight in prison. After the September 18th Incident in 1931, he was released from prison and served as secretary of the Harbin Municipal Party Committee, member of the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee, and acting secretary of the Military Commission. He actively led the people of Northeast China in their anti-Japanese struggle. In 1933, he served as political commissar of the South Manchu Guerrilla Force of the 32nd Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and division commander and political commissar of the First Independent Division of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army. In 1934, he served as commander-in-chief of the South Manchuria Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, commander and political commissar of the First Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army. In 1937, he served as the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. The basic team consisted of more than 6,000 people and was distributed in southern Manchuria to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Yang Jingyu launched the Western Expedition, often attacking the Japanese army and supporting the struggle within the pass. In May 1938, a meeting was convened with party and army cadres in South Manchuria to discuss the strategy of adhering to guerrilla warfare. After the meeting, the anti-Japanese struggle was launched in Tonghua and Linjiang areas, dealing a heavy blow to the enemy and puppet troops. In the winter of the same year, the Japanese invaders implemented the inhumane policy of returning villages to villages and merging households, carried out armed settlement and immigration, and intensified the destruction of the anti-Japanese base areas in southern Manchuria. The situation of the anti-Japanese coalition forces became even more difficult. Yang Jingyu led more than 1,400 people from the First Route Army into the dense forests of Changbai Mountain. The following year, he suffered heavy losses in a battle with the enemy in Mengjiang County, leaving more than 400 people in his team. In January 1940, in order to solve the problem of army supplies, he ordered the main force of the army to go north and led a small force to march eastward. In the end, there were only 7 soldiers around him, and 4 were wounded. So Yang Jingyu ordered the four people to be transferred. Later, he sent the remaining two soldiers to the village to find some food. After coming down the mountain, the two soldiers were killed by the Japanese and puppet troops. Yang Jingyu understood everything. On February 22, I spent the last night of my life in a small shabby house in the snow. On February 23, Yang Jingyu, alone, met four Chinese people in front of Sandao Weizi, Baoan Village, Mengjiang County, Jilin Province (now Jingyu County). Yang Jingyu abided by the party's iron discipline and did not take any benefit from the masses, so he gave After getting the money, he asked one of them to help him buy some food and cotton shoes. That man returned to Datun and leaked the secret to the Japanese and puppet authorities; the Kwantung Army's crusade team surrounded the general and urgently summoned a puppet Manchukuo special agent team composed of anti-union traitors to join the battle; after several hours of fierce fighting, the general was shot in the vital part by a traitor's machine gun and died heroically. He is thirty-five years old. After an autopsy by the Japanese army, it was found that he actually fed on the cotton in the military coat, the bark on the trees, and the roots of grass under the snow. The brutal invaders were also shocked and impressed. Ryuichiro Kishitani, who killed the general back then, held a "special ceremony" for Yang Jingyu. "Solace Festival" and committed suicide on the eve of Japan's surrender in 1945. Cheng Bin, the traitor leader of the special agent team and former commander of the 1st Division of the 1st Anti-Japanese Allied Army, infiltrated the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi Province after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and was discovered and suppressed in the early 1950s.

Liu Hulan

Liu Hulan mostly displays a fearless and fierce personal image, but she actually had a rich emotional life in her youth as a martyr. , she was engaged twice during her lifetime, fell in love once, and experienced a ghost marriage after her death. Before her execution, she regarded the small handkerchief given to her by Captain Wang as the most precious object and gave it to her stepmother to keep.

In early 1946, according to local customs, the parents arranged an engagement between Liu Hulan and Chen Delin, a young man from a neighboring village. However, since both parties involved advocated free love, they agreed amicably to go home and persuade their parents to terminate the engagement.

In June of the same year, Liu Hulan was admitted to the party under special conditions, and soon someone came to propose marriage. Because the man was working as an apprentice in Taigu County and did not go home often, Liu Hulan refused because he did not understand the man's true situation. At that time, Liu Hulan was already young and pursuing independent love and marriage.

In the autumn of the same year, Wang Bengu, the company commander of a certain regiment of the People's Liberation Army, was injured in battle and was sent to Yunzhou West Village to recuperate. Liu Hulan often went to cook and apply medicine for Wang Bengu, so they had many contacts, and the two had a falling out. love. At that time, living in a rural area where feudal ideology was relatively serious, this kind of behavior showed exactly an anti-feudal ideological liberation.

Due to the dangerous war environment and Liu Hulan's young age, she and Wang Bengu have not yet discussed marriage. At that time, Company Commander Wang only gave Liu Hulan's family a blanket, a pen and a pair of glasses as tokens of love. When he recovered from his injury and returned to the team, he gave Liu Hulan a small handkerchief as a souvenir. Before Liu Hulan was executed, he gave this handkerchief to his stepmother as the most precious object.

After Liu Hulan's death, his uncle Liu Guangqian took care of it. According to local customs, he was married to Shi Liu'er who died together. In 1957, the Liu Hulan Martyr Cemetery was built, and Liu Hulan's remains were moved into the cemetery alone, thus ending the ghost marriage.

Being ruthless may not be truly heroic. Heroes are also made of flesh and blood, and each hero is inseparable from the specific background of the times and living environment.

Martyr Liu Hulan had a rich emotional world during her lifetime, which made her heroic image more relatable and believable.

Liu Hulan has five brothers and sisters, three of whom were born to her stepmother. When she died, her younger sister Liu Ailan was present to witness her death. At the end of 1948, she joined the army and was assigned to the combat drama club, playing the role of her sister in "Liu Hulan".

After the liberation of the country, Liu Hulan's deeds were written into books and adapted into plays, movies, and TV series. The village where he lived was once changed to "Liu Hulan Village". In 1957, on the 10th anniversary of the death of martyr Liu Hulan, a cemetery for martyr Liu Hulan was built locally. In front of the martyr's tomb, there is a full-length statue of Liu Hulan carved from white marble with head held high.

Liu Hulan, who was living in the countryside at that time, had never taken a photo. This image was created by relying on her stepmother Hu Wenxiu’s oral introduction to Liu Hulan’s physical characteristics. It was enlarged and processed from the original created by the famous sculptor Chao Wen. .

However, for a while, Liu Hulan's stepmother encountered serious political trouble. Who betrayed Liu Hulan has not been clarified for a long time. Hu Wenxiu was once under suspicion and was criticized for this. Liu Hulan's father, Liu Jingqian, is honest and honest, but he cannot remain silent about this. He and his daughter Liu Fanglan rushed to Beijing together to find party and state leaders to clarify right from wrong. The problem was finally reported to Premier Zhou Enlai, who personally intervened and finally cleared Hu Wenxiu's injustice.

The truth was not found out until 1963: the traitor was Shi Wuze, secretary of the Yunzhouxi Village Peasant Association. He had been criticized by Liu Hulan for shielding the widow Duan Er, the landlord, and was later dismissed from his position and expelled from the party. Therefore, I hold a grudge in my heart. As soon as Yan Jun arrived, Liu Hulan and other seven people were betrayed. Shi Wuze was shot by the government on February 14, 1963 and received the punishment he deserved.

Jiang Zhujun

On the party’s birthday, I can’t help but think of a great revolutionary woman, Sister Jiang. My previous impression of Sister Jiang came from the novel "Red Rock" and the movie "Eternal Life in Fire". I had the opportunity to go on a business trip to study on the Geles Mountain in Chongqing, Sichuan, and got to know the real Sister Jiang up close, which is different from the novel and movie. . Sister Jiang's real name is Jiang Zhujun. She was arrested during the Lower Sichuan East Armed Uprising and imprisoned in Zhazi Cave on Gele Mountain in Chongqing. Zhazidong was originally a small coal mine mined manually. It got its name due to the large amount of slag and the lack of coal. Later, military agents forced the mine owner to death and occupied the coal mine and miners' houses. It was converted into a prison to detain arrested revolutionaries. More than 700 people. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a ditch on one side. It is covered by towering trees all year round and the terrain is hidden. Therefore, military special agents chose this place as a prison. The Zhazidong Detention Center is divided into an inner courtyard and an inner courtyard. The inner courtyard has a row of cells for male and female prisoners, and the outer courtyard houses the secret service office and torture room. There are guard booths outside the hospital, machine guns are set up, and there are people guarding the prison 24 hours a day. The entire prison is covered by a power grid, making it difficult for those in prison to fly. Now it has become a sacred place for red revolutionary education. The walls of various rooms in the outer courtyard are covered with the life stories and photos of the martyrs for visitors to pay homage and receive revolutionary education. Here I saw the beautiful and elegant Sister Jiang, Jiang Zhuyun. After listening to Sister Jiang's heroic deeds, my soul was baptized and shocked.

Sister Jiang was a college student at the Agricultural College of Sichuan University. During her studies, she was engaged in secret work of the party. After joining the party, in accordance with the requirements of the party organization, he pretended to be a couple with Communist Party member Peng Yongwu and formed a family, which served as a secret agency of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and a tutoring center for underground party members. Later he married Peng Yongwu. People used to call her Sister Jiang to show their respect and love. Sister Jiang participated in the leadership of the Chongqing student anti-riot movement and worked as an editor for the municipal party committee's newspaper "Advance Daily". Assigned by the Chongqing Underground Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, he followed her husband to Xiachuandong to launch an armed struggle and served as a liaison officer, responsible for organizing students from universities and middle schools to carry out heroic struggles against the Kuomintang reactionaries. Sister Jiang's husband unfortunately died while organizing an armed riot. Sister Jiang endured her grief and resolutely took over her husband's job. Later, due to the traitor's betrayal, Sister Jiang was unfortunately arrested and imprisoned in Zhazidong Prison.

We peeked in through the iron gate with iron bars. There were no beds at all in the prison cell. There were several beds of worn cotton wool piled on the cold cement floor, several spittoons and pairs of wooden clogs on the ground. The simple and shabby daily necessities make people cry. It was in such a difficult environment that the revolutionaries fought tenaciously against the enemy. Sister Jiang, in particular, suffered all kinds of torture from the Kuomintang military agents, including tiger benches, slings, barbed steel whips, crowbars, electrocution, and even bamboo sticks nailed into her fingers. .

Every time Sister Jiang was tortured, comrades were particularly worried, fearing that because her husband had sacrificed her life and her child was only 1 year old, she would betray the Party and betray the Chongqing underground party organization because she could not withstand all kinds of torture and temptations from the enemy. This was because many gay men at that time They couldn't resist the inhuman destruction and rebelled. The worries of comrades are unnecessary. Jiang Zhuyun was severely tortured four times. Every time she was carried out on a stretcher, the nails on her ten fingers were cracked, the skin was torn, her lips were bitten, and there were bloody marks on her chest. But every time she was He kept secrets of the party organization and all party secrets. True gold is tempered in the fierce fire of Guixiao

Jiang Zhuyun

, and her heroic and unyielding image has educated all the victims in Zhazi Cave. Everyone unanimously proposed: learn from Comrade Jiang Zhujun! Every revolutionary should keep the secrets of the conservative party, abide by the party's discipline, and be unyielding and unyielding in the face of torture! Spurring those shameful traitors, Sister Jiang became a glorious banner for Communist Party members. Because of this, the Kuomintang agents brutally beat the strong Sister Jiang. When the revolution was about to win, they secretly killed all the revolutionaries in Zhazi Cave and soaked Jiang Jie's body in concentrated sulfuric acid. After the liberation, Jiang was not found when the Zhazi Cave was cleaned up. Sister's body. Sister Jiang was only 29 years old when she died heroically. Although her life was short, she was magnificent, showing firm ideals and beliefs and noble spiritual sentiments.

In today's society, some people may have forgotten Sister Jiang, and some are even denying Sister Jiang's life value. But no one can deny that without countless Sister Jiang, we would not have the happy life we ??have today. The struggles of countless martyrs have finally made it unnecessary for us to endure the torture of the enemy or sacrifice our lives under the executioner’s gun to show our loyalty to the Party and the Party. The loyalty of the people. However, whether we can withstand various temptations and always regard the interests of the people as the highest criterion is still a test of the new era. As long as we are down-to-earth, take the party's purpose as our philosophy, be a person who is beneficial to the country and the people, and do not become indifferent to our ideals or lose our way in the colorful social life, we can have a clear conscience when remembering the martyrs. On the birthday of the party, let us jointly pay homage to the great revolutionary martyr Sister Jiang. Like Sister Jiang, we will always remember the oath we took when we joined the party and fight for the ideal of communism throughout our lives.

Huang Jiguang

After the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea began in 1950, domestic military demobilization was stopped and large-scale conscription began. In March 1951, when Zhongjiang County recruited new volunteers, Huang Jiguang was the first in the village to sign up. During the physical examination, he was initially not selected due to his short stature. The battalion commander who came to recruit soldiers was moved by Huang Jiguang's enthusiasm for joining the army and agreed to make an exception.

After arriving on the Korean front, Huang Jiguang was assigned to the sixth consecutive term as correspondent of the 2nd Battalion, 135th Regiment of the 15th Army. In April 1952, the troops went to the front line of the Five Sacred Mountains to take over the defense. Huang Jiguang, who originally wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, was assigned to the company's logistics. After the deputy instructor's meticulous ideological work, Huang Jiguang understood the importance of logistics work and did all the work well. Joined the New Democratic Youth League of China in July 1952. With the approval of his superiors, he was awarded third-class merit once.

On October 14, 1952, the Battle of Shangganling began. On the night of October 19, Huang Jiguang's Second Battalion was ordered to counterattack the enemy who occupied the surface position of 597.9 Highland. During the counterattack, they encountered crazy shooting from a hidden enemy fire point, and the troops continued to charge without success. It was almost dawn. If the high ground could not be captured before dawn, it would not only make the captured positions fall back into the enemy's hands, but also directly affect the victory of the entire Shangganling counterattack. At this critical moment, Huang Jiguang joined the task force. During the battle, two comrades in the attack team were killed. The situation was very urgent. Huang Jiguang was also shot 4 times and he fainted. The sound of the UN army's machine gun woke him up. He desperately climbed to the side of the UN army's gun, blocked the enemy's machine gun hole with his chest, and was killed on the spot.

Huang Jiguang’s heroic feats won him the highest honor in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. His self-sacrifice and dedication to serving the people were awarded special merit by the leadership of the Volunteer Army, and he was awarded the title of "Super Hero" (another special hero is Yang Gensi); the party committee of his army posthumously recognized him as an official member of the Communist Party of China; the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea posthumously awarded him the title of "Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" and the Gold Star Medal, Flag Medal First Class. Huang Jiguang was finally laid to rest in the Memorial Hall of the Martyrs to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea in Shenyang.
