Stories before the founding of the People's Republic of China

1. Anti-Japanese hero Wang Erxiao

Born in 1929 in Shangzhuang Village, Laiyuan County, Hebei Province.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Erxiao's hometown was the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base area and was often "swept up" by the Japanese. Wang Erxiao was a member of the Children's League. He often herded cattle on the hillside while serving as a sentinel for the Eighth Route Army. .

On October 25, 1942 (September 16 on the lunar calendar), the Japanese came for another "sweeping operation" and got lost when they reached the mountain pass. The enemy saw Wang Erxiao grazing cattle on the hillside and asked him to lead the way. Wang Erxiao walked in front pretending to be obedient. In order to protect the villagers who had moved into hiding, he led the enemy into the Eighth Route Army's ambush.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out from all directions. Knowing that they had been fooled, the enemy was furious and stabbed Wang Erxiao with a bayonet to death and threw him hard on the rocks. At this moment, the Eighth Route Army rushed down from the mountain and wiped out all the enemies.

After Wang Erxiao died, local soldiers and civilians buried him on the hillside of Liujiazhuang. Comrade Zhang Shikui, who was a cadre of the Youth Rescue Association of Laiyuan County at that time (now a retired cadre of Baoding City), received the news and immediately reported it to the Border District Youth Rescue Association. Lyricist Fang Bing and composer Jie Fu immediately composed a song based on this report. "Singing Erxiao Cowherd".

This song has been sung to this day and has infected countless young people. Now, the grave of Wang Erxiao is covered with green grass. The big stone stained red by his blood is still lying quietly in the ravine. People call it the "blood stone".

2. National Hero Yang Jingyu

After the Japanese army suffered successive attacks, they quickly dispatched the Puppet Army Brigade to deal with the 1st Anti-Alliance Route Army, consisting of one cavalry regiment and two infantry regiments. The corps was organized into mixed brigades with excellent weapons. After Yang Jingyu received the information, he led his team to set up an ambush near the mouth of Mosquito Valley. After a fierce battle, three to four hundred people from Suo Brigade were eliminated. In early August, Suo Brigade fell into my ambush and was completely wiped out.

On November 5, 1938, the enlarged Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a letter to "Commander Yang of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to the officers, soldiers, and political staff of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces" "The tribute message spoke highly of the anti-Japanese coalition forces operating in the northeastern region that fell to the enemy, calling their heroic struggle "an example of fighting the enemy in the ice and snow for more than seven years without fear of hardship."

With the cordial care and encouragement of the Party Central Committee, the 1st Anti-Japanese Route Army moved to the Changbai Mountains from the winter of 1938 to the spring of 1939, and fought jointly with the 2nd Route Army, breaking through the enemy's "encirclement and suppression campaigns" many times. ", and continuously attacked enemy strongholds, destroyed enemy facilities, etc., giving a great blow and deterrence to the Japanese and puppet troops.

In the autumn and winter of 1939, he organized a "punitive" campaign against the anti-Japanese and puppet troops in Southeast Manchuria, commanding the troops to break up into parts and disperse the guerrillas. He led the guard brigade to fight in the Mengjiang area, and finally fought against the enemy alone for five days and nights.

On February 23, 1940, Weizi died heroically in Mengjiang Sandao, Jilin, at the age of 35. To commemorate him, in 1946 the Tonghua Detachment of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army was renamed Yang Jingyu Detachment, and Mengjiang County was renamed Jingyu County.

3. The Five Heroes of Langya Mountain

In 1941, the Japanese invaders carried out a continuous "mopping up" of the anti-Japanese base areas in the Langya Mountain area in Yixian County, Hebei Province, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area. They caused many tragic tragedies such as those in Tian Gang and Dong Lou Mountain, and attempted to "cannibalize" our anti-Japanese base areas with the brutal "Three Guangs" policy.

On September 23, 1941, the Japanese army marched towards Yixian County in three directions, attempting to encircle the first division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region commanded by Commander Yang Chengwu.

On the 24th, 3,500 Japanese and puppet troops suddenly surrounded the Langya Mountain area, killing Qiu Weituan and the guerrillas from the four counties of Yixian, Dingxing, Xushui, and Mancheng, as well as the surrounding people* **More than 2,000 people surrounded us, and the situation was very serious.

Regiment Commander Qiu Wei quickly reported the situation to Commander Yang Chengwu. In order to rescue the guerrillas and local people, Commander Yang Chengwu formulated a combat plan of "encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao" and ordered the 3rd Regiment and the 20th Regiment to feign attack on Guantou and Guantou. The Japanese troops in Songshan and Ganhe areas prompted the Japanese troops to mobilize reinforcements from the northeast of Langya Mountain so that the besieged guerrillas and the people could break out from the northeast of Langya Mountain.

Based on this combat plan, Commander Qiu Wei assigned the task of covering the transfer of troops to the 7th Company. At midnight, Commander Qiu Wei commanded the troops and local people to safely move from Pantuo Road to the Tiangang, Niugang, and Songgang areas. In the early morning, the Japanese and puppet troops mistakenly believed that Qiu Wei's regiment had been surrounded. Under the cover of aircraft and artillery, more than 500 Japanese puppet troops fiercely attacked toward Langya Mountain.

The soldiers of the 7th Company had already laid mines on the road that the enemy must pass through, causing the Japanese and puppet troops to leave more than fifty corpses and flee back in a hurry. The Japanese commander was convinced that Qiu Wei's regiment had been surrounded and ordered his troops to attack frantically toward Langya Mountain again.

During the fierce battle, most of the soldiers of the 7th Company died. Company Commander Liu Fushan was seriously injured and his life was in danger. In order to allow the large force and the injured soldiers of the 7th Company to be safely transferred, instructor Cai Zhanpeng ordered Ma Baoyu's squad to stay and hold on.

In order to hold back and attract the Japanese and puppet troops, Ma Baoyu led five soldiers including Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi to retreat in the direction of Qipantuo while fighting, leading the Japanese and puppet troops to a cliff and a dead end.

When they retreated to the top of Qipantuo, all their bullets were exhausted, and they raised rocks to throw at the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet troops realized that they were out of bullets, and swarmed towards the top of the mountain, shouting "Capture them alive, capture them alive!"

Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi, Hu Delin, and Hu Fucai would rather die than surrender. In order to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from capturing them alive and preventing their weapons from falling into the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops, after smashing the guns, they jumped off the cliff shouting: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "Long live the Communist Party of China!" and other slogans.

Ma Baoyu, Hu Delin, and Hu Fucai died heroically, but deputy squad leader Ge Zhenlin and soldier Song Xueyi were hung on branches on the cliff and survived.

4. Xiaobing Zhang Ga

In a Japanese raid, Ga Zi’s grandmother was killed by the Japanese for covering the Eighth Route Army. Zhong Liang, commander of the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance company, was also captured by the Japanese. Ga Zi was so distraught that he was determined to take revenge and set out to find the local team to fight the Japanese.

On the way, he mistakenly regarded the guerrilla platoon leader Luo Jinbao as a traitor and wanted to hand over his gun, which made him laugh. Later, the brat Gazi disguised himself as a watermelon vendor and used a wooden gun to kill the "real guy" who was being translated by Fat Dun.

In order to prevent the captain from taking the gun back, he got angry and hid the gun in the old bird's nest. As a result, he was criticized and put in solitary confinement. After the education of the district captain, Gazi realized his mistake.

In a battle, he was injured and recuperated at a fellow villager's home. When the guerrillas attacked the enemy's watchtower, he secretly ran back from his fellow villagers' home to join the battle. Unfortunately, he was arrested while going into the city for reconnaissance.

In front of the enemy, Ga Zi was unyielding and escaped during the battle. He cooperated with the guerrillas to pull down the watchtower and rescued Zhong Liang. After victory, the district captain praised Gazi on behalf of the army and rewarded him with a real pistol. Ga Zi was very happy and eventually became an outstanding little scout. Ga Zi's hometown was also liberated!

5. The eternal fire

In mid-October 1952, during a battle to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, Qiu Shaoyun's battalion was ordered to take on lurking missions. Before lurking, Qiu Shaoyun submitted an application for joining the party to the party branch and wrote: "I would rather sacrifice myself than expose my goals. I am willing to sacrifice everything for the whole, for victory, for the liberation of the people of China and North Korea and all mankind." "

During the mission, when Qiu Shaoyun was lurking in the grass more than 60 meters away from the enemy's forward position, the enemy suddenly approached the lurking area. In order to cover the lurking troops, the command post ordered artillery to attack the enemy.

After being hit, the enemy dispatched aircraft for reconnaissance and blindly launched reconnaissance incendiary bombs. An incendiary bomb fell right next to Qiu Shaoyun, and flying sparks splashed on his left leg, burning his left leg. Cotton clothes, hair and skin.

But in order not to expose the lurking troops, he strictly abided by discipline, gritted his teeth, dug his hands deeply into the soil, and endured the severe pain with amazing perseverance, remaining silent and motionless until he died a heroic sacrifice. Only 26 years old.
