The second master has been away from home for more than 80 years, and three generations have been searching for many years. In 2020, I found the relevant information of the second master in the retired military support department of Mancheng District. The place of sacrifice recor

Erye was born in the late Guangxu year and was born in the north of Lingxi Village. Lingxi Village is located in the west of Mancheng District, Baoding City. It is 20 kilometers away from the county town, 24 kilometers away from the north to the Yixian html, and 24 kilometers away from the south to the Shunping html, and a half mountain area. Lingxi Village, with such a special geographical location, was once the First Military Sub-district, Third Regiment, Mancheng County Party Committee and rear base of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Many heroic stories happened here; Magistrate Nie left his footprints, and General Yang commanded the killing ground.

grandfather and brothers, the second master was at home, his big name was Zhang Xiangbo, and his nickname was Xiang'er. When his second master was young, warlords fought in a mess, the people were living in dire straits, and the working people were in trouble, and the public was in trouble and invaded outside.

In 1937, the Japanese army launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, which kicked off the national anti-Japanese war. In 1937, Yang Chengwu entered the Taihang Mountains to open up the anti-Japanese base area and established the First Military Sub-district of the Anti-Japanese. The first sub-district is located in the west of the southwest Lingxi County, Yi County, the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains (now under the Mancheng District ). The first district headquarters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region is stationed in Cijiatai Village, Liujiatai Township, Mancheng District.

According to the oral accounts of the ancestors in the family and searching for the elderly in the village and reading a large number of relevant historical records, they roughly learned about the general situation at that time:

In 1941, the front drama club of the Jin-Cha-Hebei region performed in Lingxi Village to preach the importance of anti-Japanese resistance to the villagers; igniting the flame of unity between military and civilians to fight against Japan. Many young people asked the village chief to sign up for the army as soon as the show was gone. The second master signed up to join the army to defend his country and rushed to the front line of the anti-Japanese war at the age of 17. Going to an unknown distance....

. The second master never went home. According to the old man at home, there were government staff members in the family in the 1960s. They said that the second master was a guard and died in Langshan when fighting against the Japanese invaders. They also gave him a wooden sign of military martyrs. At that time, the family had set up a tomb for the second master in the village. Before his death, my grandfather still remembered the whereabouts of the second brother, and repeatedly reminded his father to find the news about the second master. My father is no longer alive now, and this burden naturally falls on me. I have been following the advice of my grandfather and father, constantly trying to find out the news about my second master. After I inquired and visited the elderly in the village and consulted Jinchaji Researchers of the history of the anti-Japanese war, I just want to find out the news about my second master one day...

Erye has been away from home for more than 80 years, and three generations have been searching for many years. In 2020, I retired from the army in Mancheng District. The military support stock found relevant information from Erye. The place of sacrifice recorded was not "Wolf Mountain" orally described by his father, but was written by hand in Shijiazhuang, Tang County in 1939. First of all, this time was wrong. After all, my second master joined the army in 1941. How could he die two years ago? Later, further searching and confirming that it was a sacrifice in 1943. However, I did not find the place of sacrifice in Shijiazhuang, Tang County on the map. The place of sacrifice that my father said was "Wolf Mountain". This wolf may be a transliteration, and I don't know the specific word. After the oral materials collected and related historical materials, it was roughly inferred that the time and place of sacrifice of Erye when he participated in the battle was probably in 1943, in Tang County, , Shijiazhuang, and Langshan, but I still couldn't find these places.

In the past two years, I have been trying to find various ways. Just yesterday I saw an old map of Tang County and saw that there is a wolf mountain in Beiluo Town, Tang County. Once the location was found, I checked the battle that took place near Langshan in 1943. It happened that I met a fan of the history of the Anti-Japanese War in the Third Division of the Jin-Cha-Hebei region, and provided me with a more accurate historical document on the Anti-Japanese War as a reference. It was the Jiashan battle in Quyang in 1943. It is said that this mountain is called Langshan in Tang County.

Below is a documentary record about the battle in Jiashan, Quyang:

On March 8, 1943, more than 50 officers and soldiers from the Sixth District Team of the Three Military Sub-district of our Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region, under the organization of the political commissar of the Sixth District Team, Yu Zhongliang and the captain of the first brigade Luo Mingxin, fought a fierce battle with more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops in the north of Jiahe Mountain and the south of Sujiazhuang Village, Quyang County. During the battle, except for the machine gunner Hou Quanxi breaking through, the remaining more than 50 officers and soldiers died heroically. After the war, the political commissar Yu Zhongliang was buried in the military city of Tang County, and Luo Mingxin was buried in the Martyrs Cemetery of Quyang County. To this day, several martyrs are still buried at the foot of the mountain.

I saw a guard platoon die in this battle. At that time, Yu Zhongliang, the political commissar of the Sixth District Team, was seriously injured and carried to Zhaojiazhuang in nearby Tang County. I wonder if my second master also went there. Is Shijiazhuang, Tang County recorded in the archives the Zhaojiazhuang in Tang County? Although the position, time and place are all in line, with a responsible attitude towards history, I dare not make far-fetched comments. I just want to ask which department should I find to find further this matter next? @Baoding release @Toutiao Search for People

The ancestors exchange youth and prosperity for prosperity! Martyrs pioneered the Tao for future generations, and later generations continued their careers to comfort their loyal souls. Our happy life today is exchanged for countless martyrs with their lives and blood. They use their bravery, passion, life and fearlessness to usher in new life for future generations! I always think about the solidity of the motherland, and I always remember the coldness of the heroes. Let us pay tribute to the martyrs! #Baoding Headlines# #Searching the Footprints of Martyrs#
