In the course of the revolution, many heroic deeds emerged in the party's troops. They had a lofty patriotism and a steadfast and unyielding national integrity. The most talked about story is Wolf Yashan Five Heroes .
What is different from other heroes is that these five heroes not only successfully completed the task, but also preserved their national integrity with their own strength and did not surrender to the enemy and traitor because they were in a dilemma. To this day, their stories still inspire generations of Chinese youth, and the revolutionary spirit of the five heroes of Langya Mountain has also become an important branch of the national spirit.
941 was the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War. In August of that year, the Japanese invaders stepped up their pace to advance towards North China . They must speed up their pace. Because the Japanese army on the battlefields of Europe and the Soviet Union had already begun to regress, they began to concentrate their forces to carry out a devastating large-scale sweep of the base areas of in the Jin-Cha-Hebei Border Region.
Invading China Japanese troops
They tried to use the situation of victory on the Eastern battlefield as a starting point to defeat the failure in the Soviet Union. In late September, more than 5,000 Japanese and puppet troops were on standby. They were about to carry out the three-light policy sweep in most areas of western Beijing, and their task was to annihilate all the party and government organs of the Eighth Route Army base areas in the region.
In other words, the Japanese army's move is to destroy our hearts. If the party and government organs are destroyed, the subordinate army will lose its leadership and will definitely lose its position in future battles, so their attempts are very treacherous. Yixian is their primary goal, because the terrain there is open and flat, and the mobilization movement will be very smooth. The Japanese army should use this as a starting point to radiate to all the bases of our party around.
Invading China Japanese army
In order to eliminate the Party Central Committee in one fell swoop, the party and government organs and various armies, Japan sent three troops to encircle them layer by layer, and a team of nearly 15,000 people surrounded the Yixian area. They were heavily invading the border and tried to use such a formation to scare the Eighth Route Army. So at first they just slowly narrowed the encirclement with a terrifying pace, and only after all the strategies were ready were they began to attack the base violently.
The Japanese army's front-line plan had long been learned by various party and government agencies. Before the Japanese army was active, the leaders of this base had already issued an order: must let the large troops break out, give this county to the Japanese army, and let them lose all their money. It is better than the fierce battle with them here and blood. can break through, so requires small troops to take the lead in restraining the enemy . Therefore, there will be a small troops covering the main force in each base area.
Eighth Route Army
The masses are transferred, and they have to stay to restrain the enemy and confuse the enemy's direction, so such a team will be about to die. At that time, the main force of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Sub-district would be transferred on September 24, and the one who stayed to be responsible for the cover task was , the 7th Company of the First Regiment, .
After the order was issued, the main force quietly moved while the night was dark, but the enemy's firepower was too strong. The main force also had to fight against the Japanese army while advancing. This marching slowed down the retreat speed of the main force, and the Japanese army followed step by step and never ruthlessly.
At this time, the 7th Company rushed to the left wing of the Japanese army in a flash. They took the best equipment to attract the attention of the enemy. At this time, the main force gained a breath of breathing army. Because the Japanese army found that there were weapons of artillery fire in the direction of the Seventh Company, they mistakenly thought that the Seventh Company was the real large force, so they turned their direction and moved towards the Seventh Company. The main force took this opportunity to jump out of the enemy's encirclement and successfully retreated.

rescued the main force, but the 7th Company was deeply surrounded by the enemy. You should know that 7th Company is the most elite company in the regiment . The superiors sent them to escort the main force to retreat, which attracted the rich combat experience and bloodiness of the soldiers of the 7th Company.
At this time, the main force of the enemy is coming towards them. If they cannot escape successfully, the entire company will probably be ruined here. Therefore, the entire seventh company unit has become the main force again, and This main force must be divided into some small troops to attract the enemy's attention. The playing style of is very common when fighting against Japan, and the most common way to trade small is the most common and saves vitality.
So, when the 7th Company and the Japanese army were fighting, some of them stood up and volunteered to be the vanguard to cover the main force's retreat. The selected squad was , and there were five soldiers in squad 6 of squad 1, squad 2, squad 6 of squad 1, squad 2, squad 1, squad 2, squad 1, squad 1, squad 2, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, squad 1, s

In fact, when they stood up at first, the comrades in the 7th Company disagreed. It was a fantasy to use the power of five people to block those enemy troops that were several times more than themselves, but these five people insisted on carrying out the blocking mission. In the vast land, these five heroes had no complaints, nor did they retreat, and picked up their weapons and ran forward.
As the squad leader of the five of them, Ma Baoyu kept leading them to the opposite direction of the main force. What was getting closer and closer were the strange peaks, and the highest among the mountains was Langya Mountain .
The Elegy of Langya Mountain
At this time, they are trying their best to attract the vitality of the enemy, completely unaware that they have entered a desperate situation. But even if they know that there is a cliff ahead, I believe that with their will and courage, they will walk without looking back.

0 The main forces of the Jin-Cha-Ji Army often train in nearby mountains, so these five people are very familiar with the recent situation nearby. Langya Mountain is usually considered their training place, so Ma Baoyu took five people to make a fuss, and while shooting, he led the Japanese army to the deepest part of the jungle. The violent gunfire sounded from time to time really made the Japanese army mistakenly think that the direction of the five of them running was the main force of the 7th Company.
After running for a while, the Japanese army took the bait. Their large army gradually gathered at the five people and chased them to the highest Langya Mountain.Seeing more and more enemies coming up, Ma Baoyu said to the comrades happily: "Our squad successfully completed the task, and the main force should take this opportunity to break out of the encirclement. What's hateful is that there are more and more Japanese troops!"
At this time, Song Xueyi made a suggestion: "Squad leader, we should add more time to the main force to transfer, otherwise the five of us will run around the mountain and circle the Japanese army, so that the seventh company will be able to relax faster when retreating!"

"This method is good. Anyway, the Japanese have followed us, so let them bite us to death. The further the main force retreats, the better. Now we go to Langya Mountain. As long as we trap the enemy around the mountain, we can drag it longer and longer, do you have any objections?!" As soon as the squad leader of squad, Ma Baoyu, finished speaking, the remaining four comrades immediately straightened their chests and shouted: "No!"
received the support of their comrades, and Ma Baoyu smiled with relief. But the bitterness in his heart arose. In fact, everyone knew in his heart that Langya Mountain had only one way to go up the mountain, and it was also the only way to go down the mountain. If they really lead the Japanese to the top of the mountain, then they will only be able to die with the enemy.
Ma Baoyu and the others rushed up the mountain with fierce firepower. They lured the enemy into depth and vowed to slide the Japanese and puppet troops to the top of the mountain. Therefore, the Japanese and puppet troops still thought that this group of people was the firepower of the 7th Company and began to attack them in a dense manner. During the battle, the five of them were injured to varying degrees, but they were still bandaging each other and supporting them forward.

As the Japanese army's firepower network becomes more and more powerful, the number of bullets of several of them is getting smaller and smaller, so the Japanese army surrounded is also densely displayed in front of them. Ma Baoyu and the five of them had reached the highest point of the top of the mountain, and there were still enemies like ants below.
The second half of the life of the two old heroes
"If there is no bullet, throw the stone! Don't let an enemy come up!" Ma Baoyu threw stones down excitedly while covering his bleeding legs. The four people followed the squad leader's pace. They grabbed the stones with both hands and threw them hard on the head of the Japanese army climbing up.
occupied the advantage of the terrain, and they quickly repelled the Japanese attacks again and again. At this time, the enemy's leaders saw that their "stone rain" was very fierce, and began to throw shells on the top of the mountain, trying to kill the five people with the blown stone blocks.
After a violent bombardment, Ma Baoyu and the others were panting and in pain. "Comrades, the main force has been successfully transferred. We have been persisting for more than five hours from the beginning of the battle to the present. Now the Japanese army has been surrounded by layers of layers. What should we do?" Ma Baoyu, who had run out of ammunition and food, asked the soldiers firmly.

The other four people answered him at the same time "Never surrender!" "Comrades, I order you now in the name of the squad leader of the squad 6, and you are not allowed to be captured!" After Ma Baoyu shouted this order, he took the lead in climbing the high cliff, and then jumped, and the other soldiers jumped off the cliff with the squad leader's footsteps. The enemy who caught up was eventually one step slower and they did not get anything valuable.
Ma Baoyu, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai died heroically, while Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were firmly hung by branches on the mountainside. Later, they were rescued by local anti-Japanese base cadres and villagers. The leaders of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region After learning about it, they awarded the title of "Honor Model Warrior" , and also issued medals of honor to the surviving Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi.

Later, Marshal Nie Rongzhen also personally met them. From then on, the two of them accepted the condolences of the leaders with the lives of three comrades.After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, a Warrior Memorial Tower was established in Langya Mountain to commend the revolutionary merits of the five of them.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Song Xueyi returned to his hometown for physical reasons and became a village cadre . He opened up land and farmed there, leading the villagers to a road to prosperity. Ge Zhenlin continued to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and even took the lead in the War of Liberation with his strong skills and continued to carry forward their spirit of the "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain".
Song Xueyi
At the 1955 rank ceremony, he was awarded the rank of major . Even though he had already given honor, he still devoted his remaining half of his life in the army. Ge Zhenlin worked all the way to the deputy division.
986, General Ge re-takes the heroic road of that year. He was helped by everyone to Langya Mountain. When he insisted on going to the top of the mountain to see the scene of that year, he found that he was already old and no longer had the energy he had. He could only look at the towering mountain and shed tears silently.
He is missing the revolutionary years in the past, and even more so by the three deceased comrades-in-arms. 971, the old hero Song Xueyi passed away. On March 21, 2005, the old hero Ge Zhenlin also passed away. Although the old heroes passed away, the story of the five heroes of Langya Mountain remains forever in the hearts of the world.
After retiring, Ge Zhenlin served as an off-campus counselor for more than ten primary and secondary schools in the district. However, with the death of the heroes, some historical nihilistic remarks gradually rose. In 1996, an article describing the "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" emerged. In this article, the author of used the Spring and Autumn style to imply that some of these five heroes were killed because of surrendering to the enemy.
This article immediately caused a strong response in society as soon as it was published. Later, Yu Yaofu, the benefactor of Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi, came forward to prove the true deeds of the five heroes of Langya Mountain. This shows how shocking what the five of them did back then, so that it reached the point where some people don’t believe it.
To this day, the stories of the five heroes of Langya Mountain are still being passed down. The unyielding revolutionary spirit in them always inspires future generations, and the lofty spirit of patriotism represented by them reflects the national integrity of the Chinese nation to move forward bravely. It is precisely because of this that the Party was able to lead the army to win successive battles in several battles.
