I live to be 110 years old, so I invite you to a big meal!
, the master of this heroic voice, has been gone for more than a year. He is Guo Yunsheng, a 103-year-old anti-Japanese veteran.
On April 4, 2021, 103-year-old Mr. Guo Yunsheng seemed particularly abnormal!
That day, his appetite was surprisingly large, which made his family very happy because eating proves that he is healthy.
Who would have thought that this was the old man’s last meal.
At the morning of April 5, the old man sat quietly in the yard as usual. Because he ate too much yesterday, he had no appetite in the morning, so he chatted with his family about homework. The old man, who was a little sleepy at noon, went for lunch break.
Not long after, my family made lunch and went to call the old man to have lunch, but found out that the old man had returned to the team. Why did
return to the team? Of course, it is to follow your comrades.
According to the old man and granddaughter, it is : My grandfather died in vain.
After the speech was gone, the veteran left.
The veteran does not die, but just witheres.
Heroic souls are immortal, they just go back.
returns, and the cycle of reincarnation is ups and downs.
China in the prosperous era, remember the past.
has the past history as evidenced by the old man, and there are also the touching words of the old man.
(Veter Guo Yunsheng)
was visited by a veteran volunteer.
volunteer once asked him a question : Did you fear back then? Do you regret it?
The old man answered this way : At that time, the big knife spoke, and then I was not afraid at that time, and I was not afraid as soon as I contacted it. If you don’t want his life, he should take your life, and you are not afraid.
is like this when joining the army. When you don’t find the enemy’s situation, you will hesitate. Once you discover the enemy’s situation and meet, you will not be afraid.
This is the memory of that war, and this war is the famous July 7 Incident . The old man from
was an ordinary member of the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion, 319th Regiment, 110th Brigade, 29th Army, who was responsible for guarding Lugou Bridge, at that time.
On the night of the July 7 Incident, he bravely stood at the bridgehead and used his flesh and blood to face the enemy head-on.
(Lugou Bridge)
So what happened that day?
Why did Japan insist on provoking trouble at Lugou Bridge?
What did Mr. Guo experience in the days afterwards?
Let's continue to watch!
Today, many young people living in the prosperous era of the motherland have heard of the Lugou Bridge Incident, but few people think about it.
Why, as the heart of China, Beijing, the largest city in the north, has become the front line of the anti-Japanese war?
Why would the arrogant Japanese army stationed near Beijing?
makes this clear and traces back a period of history!
After the Meiji Restoration of in Japan, I had the idea of swallowing an elephant.
According to Fukuzawa Yukiki , it is : first invade North Korea, then annex Taiwan, and after seeking to occupy the three northeastern provinces, after completing all this, the Japanese army planted the national flag on the top of Beijing city.
(Fukuzawa Yukichi)
This is the strategic concept before World War II after the Meiji Restoration in Japan.
comes with the idea of Japan's step by step.
1894 War , Treaty of Shimonoseki allowed Japan to control the Korean Peninsula, occupied Taiwan, received large amounts of compensation, and obtained many privileges.
1901, after the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing, the Qing government was forced to sign the " Xinchou Treaty" again.
According to the provisions of this treaty, the great powers set up camp in the embassy area of Dongjiaominxiang, Beijing, and 12 key areas along the way from Shanhaiguan to Beijing.
This is the beginning of the first time that the Japanese army officially stationed in China.
At that time, a total of 2,600 Japanese troops were deployed in Beijing, Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Luanzhou, Changli, and Tanggu.
More than ten years after that, until the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese army's "Qing garrison" had decreased, but there were many stations, guarding many key places.
(Japanese Army)
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, Japan renamed the former "Qing garrison Army" to " Chinese garrison Army ". In subsequent years, it repeatedly increased its troops on the grounds of protecting railways and expatriates.
1927 When the National Revolutionary Army Northern Expedition , Japan, which did not want China to unify, increased the Beiping garrison from 307 to 800, and increased the Tianjin garrison from 1,000 to 2,500, and also equipped artillery and aviation garrison .
These Japanese troops, who are in the Beijing-Tianjin area of China's confidant, have become barriers between Northeast China and North China.
Northern Expedition stopped in the northeast. In addition to Zhang Zuolin strong soldiers and horses, the Japanese are also one of the factors.
Later, the Japanese brazen assassination of Zhang Zuolin triggered the change of flags in the northeast of , and also enabled the Republic of China to achieve nominal unification.
(King of the Northeast, father and son)
Seeing that China is nominally unified, the Japanese are uneasy!
Then they began to plan for progress, and after this plan, the heart of the former empire became the front line of war.
Northeast China, the Japanese army brazenly launched the September 18th Incident in 1931. Chiang Kai-shek strictly ordered the Northeast Army to not fight against Japan, which also made the Northeast men extremely frustrated and left their homes in humiliation.
Just three months later, the great rivers and mountains in Northeast China were occupied by the Japanese army, and then the puppet Manchukuo regime was established.
1933, the Japanese army attacked Rehe .
The former Northeast Army general who was responsible for Rehe defense, Li Shouxin and chose to surrender. With the support of the Japanese army, he occupied Duolun, the important town of Chahar, and established the "Chadong Special Autonomous Region". Li Shouxin was willing to be a traitor and became a Japan Human hawk.
(traitors emerge in endlessly)
1935, Japan instigated the so-called "autonomousness" of the five provinces in North China, intending to separate the five provinces of Hebei, Chahar, Suiyuan , Shandong and Shanxi from China and create a new within the pass. pseudo-regime .
situation is in a precarious situation. What is even more embarrassing is that traitors are still emerging in times of crisis.
On November 24, 1935, the administrative inspector of Jimi District, Hebei Province, Yin Rugeng, brazenly sent a telegram across the country, announcing his independence from the National Government, and established the so-called "Hi East Defense Autonomous Committee" and served as the chairman.
More than a month later, he was instigated by Kenji Doihara to cause the "Hebei East Incident". Since then, 22 counties in Hebei East have been controlled by Japan.
After Hebei, the Japanese set their sights on Mongolia again.
In the summer of 1936, Japan supported Prince Demuchukdonglup (King De) and established the so-called "Mongolian Military Government". Together with Li Shouxin, who had long been in the Japanese, they defected to the Japanese in the name of independence. , became the minion of the Kwantung Army .
In June and September of the same year, the Japanese army successively provoked trouble in Fengtai, a strategic location southwest of Beiping City, and seized Fengtai on September 19, and then carried out a series of military exercises.
(pseudo regime)
Since then, the Japanese army has completed the three sides of siege of Beiping City . The only channel to contact the outside world in Peking is Lugou Bridge.
The loss of Lugou Bridge is equivalent to the severance of contact between Peking and the south, and it also means that the entire Peking, Tianjin, and North China have become the on-the-trade food for the Japanese army.
Then the July 7th Incident came.
On the night of July 7, the Japanese army conducted a live-fire exercise near Beiping City. This exercise is just an excuse to start a war. When the
exercise was in progress, the Japanese army demanded a search in Wanpingcheng, which was stationed in the Chinese army on the pretext that the soldiers disappeared.
Wanping City is the acropolis that defends Beijing. Of course, the 29th Army stationed in the city will not agree and rejected the Japanese army's request.
Peking is within reach, how could the Japanese army give up?
5:00 a.m. on July 8, the artillery fire broke through the silence.
war is coming.
When they saw the Japanese army like this, the soldiers of the 29th Army became angry and fought against the war. Under the command of the commander of the army commander, Song Zheyuan, and Deputy army commander, Tong Lingge, they chose to fight back resolutely.
The military order at that time was : Lugou Bridge is the tombs of the other ones, and should survive and die with the bridge and not retreat.
The weak 29th Army soldiers were not afraid of strong enemies, and rushed over with weapons and big swords on their shoulders. The blood of the soldiers dyed Lugou Bridge and Wanping City red, and Deputy Commander Tong Lingge fought to death.
An incident made countless people become martyrs and heroes, but this does not mean that no one was sacrificed was not a hero.
(Old Hero)
103-year-old man Guo Yunsheng, who died in 2021, is one of countless heroes.
And his story is also a projection of countless ordinary heroes back then, and is worth remembering by everyone.
Guo Yunsheng was born in Xiping, Zhumadian on October 7, 1918. In addition to his parents, he also has an older sister and younger sister who relies on farming for the landlords to make a living.
Guo Yunsheng, who studied in a private school for two years when he was a teenager, should have a high level of junior high according to his cultural level. If everything is as usual and there are no war ups and downs, perhaps he will not be a veteran or a hero. But this simple traceability has been changed by reality!
1936, Guo Yunsheng was 18 years old and became a big guy!
But the family’s harvest was not good that year, so it became a problem for the whole family to eat. What to do with
? As the only male in the family, Guo Yunsheng decided to join the army.
can reduce the financial pressure of the family.
can also find a future.
After discussing with his family, Guo Yunsheng embarked on the road to join the army in 1936, and defected to his uncle who served in the army in Peking.
(join the army)
Who would have thought that this trip to join the army in Peking was not going smoothly, and I didn’t find my uncle after going to Peking!
But he was determined to join the army in Heshui.
then trained in Changge for three months and became a soldier of the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion, 110th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 29th Army. After training in the new recruit company
, Guo Yunsheng followed the troops north, and the base was Lugou Bridge.
The years of fighting with the army, Guo Yunsheng recalled it with deep affection.
According to his words, : When I first went to Peking, I didn’t even have a gun in my hand, and I had to prepare for the war! On the day of the July 7 Incident, the Japanese army roared in the sky, and the underground tanks rolled. Seeing that they were about to catch the enemy, the company gave each person a Hanyang build. There was no time to be familiar with the guns, so they followed the troops to resist and retreat, running all the way . When
retreated, in order to avoid the little Japan, Guo Yunsheng's troops were extremely hungry and even ate grass and grass roots. Many of his comrades did not die and were snatched by the Japanese army, but they died because of logistics issues. He would never have this scene in his life forget.
(Heroic Warriors Against Japan)
After the Lugou Bridge Incident, Guo Yunsheng continued to follow the troops to fight against the war and became a soldier in the mortar company of the 110th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 77th Army of the 33rd Army. The commander who followed
was General Zhang Zizhong. At that time, the commander of their troops was Feng Zhian, the division commander was Jixingwen , and the commander of the regiment was Sun Ruxin.
The old man still remembers this journey. At that time, the troops were mainly fighting against the Japanese army in Hubei, and died while fighting. The company commander changed four times. He himself almost died because of malaria. Fortunately, the troops used imported medicine "Golden Chicken". Dashuang saved his life.
Carrying mortar running in the four counties of Yuan'an , Dangyang , Zhenjing, Yicheng , I can't remember how many battles I've fought, but I can't remember how many battles I've fought, but I'm going to General Zhang Zizhong Still fresh in memory.
Because on May 5, 1940, he followed General Zhang and fought in Yicheng County, Xiangyang. During the battle of
, the Japanese army assembled five divisions from Wuhan, preparing to break through from Laohekou to attack Sichuan and then attack Chongqing .
In order to block the Japanese attack, Zhang Zizhong personally led his team to the front line and launched a positional war with the Japanese army, cutting off the Japanese army into several pieces.
Later, when the Japanese army discovered the headquarters of the National Army, they concentrated a large number of troops to siege. General Zhang Zizhong died under this siege.
After General Zhang Zizhong's death, the troops continued to fight against Japan. The Japanese army broke through the Xiangjiang River defense line and occupied the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.
Since then, the Japanese army's troops have been slowed down, and Anti-Japanese War has also entered a stalemate from the defense stage.
Guo Yunsheng, who fought bravely on the battlefield, had the opportunity to rest and received a letter from his home.
turned out that his family wanted him to go back to his hometown and had to arrange something.
After asking for leave from his leader, he went back, and what awaited him was a lovely wife, and countless villagers who welcomed the heroes back to the village.
got married in the church, and the villagers gathered. I heard that this was a hero who fought the Japanese, and everyone was respectful.
But the battle situation on the front line continues, and the sense of mission of the soldier made him bid farewell to his newly married wife and return to the army shortly after returning to his hometown.
The subsequent Guo Yunsheng fought in Hubei for a few more years, and then heard the news that Japan surrendered and China won. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he followed the troops to Wuhan and Xiaogan and other places to receive Japanese weapons. When
saw victory, Guo Yunsheng, who wanted to go home, did not get what he wanted. Instead, he was forced to participate in the Huaihai Battle , and then followed the troops to revolt and became a member of the People's Liberation Army.
After the People's Liberation Army, he once again faced his superiors' inquiries about whether he would continue to serve in the army or go home. His longing for his hometown made him choose to go home to farm, become an accountant in the village, and live a dull life day.
Who would have thought that this dull day did not last long, but it experienced changes because of the war in to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
The news in the village was not clear. When the People's Volunteers attacked North Korea and fought against the Americans, it was already Labor Day in 1951. Guo Yunsheng, who was harvesting wheat in the field, heard the news without saying a word, said goodbye to his wife and children and said that he would go to the front line. . After review and election, the former anti-Japanese veteran returned to the team and put on his new military uniform, becoming a member of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
Guo Yunsheng, who was hurried to the front line, also encountered a regret in his life!
When army arrived at Shanhaiguan, Mr. Guo was assigned to a company of the temporary 2nd Regiment. He was responsible for transporting materials, but because he was 33 years old, he was persuaded to leave. The leader’s statement made sense: responding to the call of the country and rebuilding his home is also a contribution to the country. Therefore, in 1952, Guo Yunsheng ended his short second military career, returned to the countryside, and became a new Chinese soldier who built the motherland. , but this battlefield has been replaced by a fertile soil for producing food.
In the past 70 years since then, this respectable old man has achieved an ordinary but legendary life with his own persistence.
is their plan to defeat the Japanese invaders in their three-month destruction!
is their struggle to make China, which has persisted for 14 years, achieve great victory!
Today's Wanping City has Lugou Bridge. The bullet holes of the past are still there. They silently tell the story of those glorious years, and they always remind future generations to remember these warriors who sacrificed heroically for the motherland and to protect their homes. A bloody Chinese man.
The veteran does not die, but just witheres. The heroic soul is immortal, just returning.
returns, and the cycle of reincarnation is ups and downs. In the prosperous era, remember the past.
After immersing in the past and remembering each other, a thought-provoking question appeared.
, a group of amiable and respectable retrogrades, once fought on the battlefield, but now they have taken off their military uniforms and returned to life.
They also have wives, children, young and old, they will get sick, encounter difficulties, and even bear unforgettable spiritual trauma at all times.
Those who hold firewood for everyone should not let them die of freezing in the wind and snow.
