On June 4, 1945, on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the first captain of the First Column of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Military Region of the New Fourth Army, Liu Biesheng, led his troops to fight the enemy in Hushan outside Xindeng City.
In this battle with many enemies and few, Liu Biesheng personally went to the front line of the battle as usual to command.
Just as he climbed to the Hushan position to use a telescope to investigate the enemy situation, the reflective telescope exposed his position and the identity of the commander and the officers. The dense bullets hit quickly like heavy rain. Even after a long battle, Liu Biesheng could not avoid it. He was shot in three parts of his left leg, left arm, and abdomen, and his life was in danger.
After full rescue, the situation was still not optimistic. When he was dying, Liu Biesheng raised his trembling right hand and held the political commissar's hand tightly, and said with difficulty: " Political Commissar, I am almost out of reach. You must continue to lead the troops and defeat the enemy! "
Then, he entrusted comrades with him to hand over the fountain pen he carried with him and the only 4 silver dollars entrusted comrade Luo Weidao to the military district party committee, leaving him behind. The last sentence of my life: " battle is still going on. Please don't tell the army about my situation for the time being, and don't tell my wife, take the army well! "
That day, under a big camphor tree at the foot of Mishan , the leader of the "Tiger Regiment" who was terrifying Jiangnan and a generation of brave general Liu Biesheng died heroically at the age of 31. At this time, it was only more than two months before the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
In 1945, the anti-Japanese hero Liu Bei sprinkled blood in Xincheng, but he did not expect that 66 years after his sacrifice, his grandson made a "battlefield" outside the country a well-known "anti-Japanese hero" - burning the Japanese Yasukuni Shrine.
Who is Liu Biesheng? Why did his grandson burn the Yasukuni Shrine? What was the outcome later?
Liu Biesheng, as one of the thousands of heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, many people know little about his deeds, but when it comes to Su Yu , one of the "Three Tiger Generals" under his command, I believe everyone is familiar with it.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the "Tiger Regiment" led by Wang Bicheng galloped across the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Wherever he went, the Japanese invaders were frightened. Liu Biesheng was the leader of this army, and Wang Bicheng was one of the most important and capable generals.
1915, Liu Bie was born in a poor family in Anfu County, Jiangxi Province.
My father works as a long-term worker and my mother works as a cobbler. Although the family works hard, they often make ends meet and often spend money on their own.
When Liu Biesheng was young, his father died of illness, leaving him and his mother to depend on each other, which made the already embarrassed family even worse, and the life of an orphan and widowed mother became more and more difficult.
When he was nine years old, Liu Biesheng went to the landlord's home alone to work to supplement the household income. Herding cattle, carrying bamboo, and being a coolie... When he was young, he experienced the coldness of the world and was oppressed and exploited by the landlords.
Four years of life that is worse than pigs and dogs makes Liu Biesheng, who is strong by nature, think about how to escape the "clips of the landlords" all the time.
Just one day, he saw the propaganda slogans such as "Beat the local tyrants and divide the land" posted by Red Army outside. Liu Biesheng was deeply touched. He believed that the Red Army was the team of the poor.
Liu Biesheng, who had long lived a life of oppression and exploitation, returned home, knelt down with tears and bid farewell to his mother, and resolutely embarked on the road to find the Red Army.
In September 1928, Liu Biesheng found the Red Army as he wished and joined the Red Army , led by Huang Gongluo , and started his revolutionary career throughout his life.
The news that Liu Biesheng participated in the Red Army was sent back to his hometown, and his relatives were cruelly persecuted by landlords and reactionaries: his mother was driven to Hunan by the reactionaries and left her hometown. Her whereabouts were unknown for many years; his uncle was unwilling to tell the reactionaries about Liu Biesheng's whereabouts and was brutally killed; the ancestral hall they rented before was demolished by the Kuomintang and built a bunker...
Various persecutions did not defeat Liu Biesheng, but instead strengthened his determination to continue with the party and aroused his fighting spirit to fight the reactionaries firmly.
After joining the Red Army, Liu Biesheng actively made progress in the army and joined the Communist Youth League in just one year. In the melting pot of the revolution, although Liu Biesheng was young, he was brave in fighting and revealed a sense of "ruthlessness" in his body, which was deeply favored by superiors.
During Central Soviet Area , Liu Biesheng participated in the first to fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, and was bravely injured twice, one of which was shot eight bullets. Fortunately, he had timely treatment to save his life.
After the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression", the Red Sixth Army fought westward in . Liu Biesheng stayed in the Soviet area and was appointed as the company commander of the Hunan-Jiangxi Independent Regiment. He insisted on guerrilla warfare in .
Three years of arduous guerrilla warfare trained Liu Biesheng's command ability and military literacy, laying a good foundation for him to lead his troops to fight against Japan in central China and Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the future.
On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army deliberately provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident, and the full-scale war of aggression against China officially broke out.
At the critical moment of North China and China's crisis, under the national justice, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party abandoned their past grudges and cooperated again.
At this time, the Red Army troops that were carrying out guerrilla warfare in eight southern provinces were reorganized into the New Fourth Army, and rushed to the anti-Japanese battlefield in Jiangsu and Anhui to jointly resist foreign humiliation. Liu Biesheng also became a platoon-level cadre of the first detachment of the New Fourth Army.
When the Southern Anhui Incident broke out, the troops of Liu Biesheng, the commander of the Military Secret Service Regiment, were surrounded by stubborn troops. At this critical moment, Liu Biesheng personally led the team, led by the leader, and broke through the seven blockade lines arranged by the enemy, leading 98 comrades to break through to the Jiangbei base, becoming the first force among all departments to break out.
After the reconstruction of the New Fourth Army headquarters, the brave combat Liu Biesheng replaced Wang Bicheng as the commander of the Fourth Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army. This regiment was the "Tiger Regiment" that was invincible on the battlefield of Jiangsu and Anhui and terrified the Japanese invaders wherever they went.
In November 1943, in order to open up a new base and prevent it from being known to the stubborn Kuomintang army, Liu Biesheng was named Fang Ziqiang and led the 48th Regiment of the 16th Brigade to south of Jiangsu under the name of the "First Detachment of the Jiangsu-Anhui First Detachment of the New Fourth Army", and opened up the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Anhui anti-Japanese base area in the northwest mountainous area of Changxing and the Langxi and Guangde in southern Anhui, and launched the struggle behind enemy lines.
At this time, it was the strategic stalemate stage of the Anti-Japanese War. Some of the Kuomintang was passive in fighting against Japan and focused on eliminating the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines and anti-Japanese base .
The Guangxing and Changde areas operated by Liu Biesheng were occupied by Japanese, puppet, stubborn and other armed forces. The forces of all parties were intertwined. He not only faced the sweeping of the Japanese and puppet troops, but also prevented the sudden attacks of the Kuomintang army.
In this difficult situation, Liu Biesheng led his troops to the junction of Yi, Guangxi and Changzhou counties, give full play to the advantages of the New Fourth Army, mobilize the masses widely, rely on the masses, develop local armed forces, and engage in guerrilla warfare with the enemy.
Under the command of Liu Biesheng, in 1944 alone, in the face of the stubborn attacks of the Japanese and puppets, he won four large-scale battles, including the victory in Hangzhou Village, the Battle of Changxing, the Battle of Si'an, and the Battle of Qingxianling. He won four battles and four victories, and the reputation of "Commander Fang" resounded throughout the south of the Yangtze River.
" Commander Fang is really amazing. The New Fourth Army is really a Divine Army ". This is a sentence that the people in the Changxing area often talk about.
In March 1944, the Japanese army assembled a squadron and a brigade of puppet troops, dragged a 2 infantry artillery with a few foreign horses to sweep the revolutionary base of the New Fourth Army, and the troops pointed directly at the broad and long borders of hang Village.
Hang Village is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by hills, bamboo forests all over the mountains and fields, and weeds are knee-deep, making it an excellent terrain for ambush battles.
At this time, Commander Fang (Liu Biesheng) was leading the 48th Regiment to garrison in Hangzhou Village. After learning about the information that the Japanese and puppet troops came to sweep the raid, he immediately reported the information to the brigade commander Wang Bicheng. At the same time, he urgently dispatched troops to set up an ambush to catch the Japanese army in a jar.
Sure enough, the unprepared Japanese army walked away from Commander Fang's ambush circle. For a moment, gunfire broke out. The Japanese army panicked and rushed to fight. Under the fierce attack of our army, more than 70 corpses were left and fled in a hurry. The Type 92 infantry cannon they had dragged with horses were also seized by our army.
The Japanese army that came to sweep was the Kobayashi Squadron stationed at the Tang and Liudong Bridge strongholds at the gate of Guangde. It is affiliated to the Nanpu Brigade and is one of the honorary divisions of the Japanese army.
When the Nanjing Invading Japanese Army Command learned that its honorary division had lost heavy weapons in a battle, it was extremely furious and immediately asked them to find the cannon to "restore the military authority of the Imperial Japanese Army."
The next day, the Nanpu Brigade sent more than 1,000 Japanese troops to Hangzhou Village under the leadership of traitors and puppet troops, looking for cannons all over the mountains and fields, and seeking the main force of our army to fight to the decisive battle, with a bloody shame.
Little did he know that Liu Biesheng, who had fought for more than ten years, was well aware of the tactics of "the enemy advances and we retreat, and we pursue the enemy retreats and we pursue" in guerrilla warfare. Long before the large Japanese troops arrived, they had dismantled the cannons and buried them in a mountain with the help of local people, and they led their troops away.
After the Japanese army learned that the cannon was buried, they carried a large number of tools all over the mountains and dug around the mountains. They did not forget to post a notice to offer a reward, indicating that if anyone tells the location of the cannons, they would offer a reward of 200,000 fiat currency .
Those who want money don’t know the location of the cannon, and those who know the location of the cannon do not want money. In this way, thousands of Japanese troops searched in the mountains for more than 20 days, but still had no results.
The most ridiculous thing is that in the end, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Changde actually wrote a letter to Liu Biesheng himself. In the letter, he said, " We have a hard time without cannons. Please send the cannons back to us. "
Liu Biesheng replied humorously after reading it,
"You send the cannons to your door, of course we don't have to collect the receipt. If you have the ability, just come and get it yourself. We can compete again."
The Japanese army was angry, but they had no choice but to do anything to him. In the end, they only burned a few houses in Hangzhou Village and killed several cadres of the peasant association to vent their anger, and the captain of the Kobayashi who lost the cannon was also shot.
The great victory in Hangzhou Village was a great shock to the Nanpu brigade stationed in the local area. From then on, the Japanese army could only huddle in the stronghold and never dared to come out to sweep the country like before. The cannon captured by Liu Biesheng played an important role in the subsequent war. After the founding of New China, this cannon completed its historical mission. is placed in the military history exhibition hall of the Third Guard Division of the Capital, telling future generations about the hard years and glorious history of the commanders and fighters of the New Fourth Army that year!
In the anti-Japanese base area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, Commander Fang’s name can be said to be well-known. Once the people in the base area mention Commander Fang, they are in a good mood; and once the enemy hears Commander Fang’s name, they will be frightened and frightened.
A prisoner once said this: "As soon as we hear Commander Fang's team launching a charge, we will tremble our legs and we can't even walk. We just need to lie there and wait for the New Fourth Army to seize the gun. "
At the end of 1944, Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee made the decision to advance the New Fourth Army quickly to the south, and instructed a unit of the New Fourth Army to move south quickly together with Wang Bicheng's 16th Brigade to carry out the southward mission.
In January of the following year, Su Yu led the main force of the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army across the river and went south, meeting with Wang Bicheng's 16th Brigade in Changxing area, forming the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region.
At this time, the Anti-Japanese War entered a strategic counterattack stage. The Japanese army, with limited troops, could no longer launch a large-scale sweep, and could only hide in various strongholds and occupied counties.
Under the situation of great anti-Japanese war, the Kuomintang stubborn army suddenly gathered 14 divisions to launch an attack on the New Fourth Army. Starting from February 1945, three anti-stubborn battles were carried out in the Tianmu Mountain area.
In June 1945, Liu Biesheng led his troops to launch a Xindeng battle and launched a fierce attack on the stubborn troops entrenched in the city. After three days and nights of bloody battles, Liu Biesheng's troops successfully conquered Xindeng City and wiped out a reinforced battalion of the stubborn troops.
On June 4, when he learned that the lost stubborn army in Xindeng City had once again assembled ten regiments of troops to counterattack Xindeng. Facing an enemy that was ten times more than his own, Liu Biesheng made a generous speech:
"We are the glorious tiger regiment. We have fought with the Japanese army hundreds of times, but have never lost their hands. The Japanese army is not a problem, and the stubborn army is even more terrible."
Every time we fight, Liu Biesheng deeply won the "true teaching" of Wang Bicheng and must go to the front line to command the battle, but he never thought that this time it would become a farewell forever.
When Wang Bicheng learned that the love general was sprinkled with blood on the battlefield, he kept silent for a long time, and showed the tender side of the iron man, crying for the loss of the tiger general.
After Liu Biesheng died, in order to prevent being destroyed by the enemy, the deputy political commissar of the Seventh Detachment Liu Shitian transported his body to Gaohong Town, Lin'an County for burial.
In 1955, Wang Bicheng found Liu Biesheng's body, moved to the Longhua Martyrs Cemetery in Shanghai, and wrote a tombstone for him: "The name of the king will last forever." (According to Liu Biesheng's qualifications, if he did not sacrifice, he could be awarded the founding major general in 1955)
After Liu Biesheng's sacrifice, he left behind two children, Liu Xin and the newly born Liu Deng .
He never thought that after 66 years of his sacrifice, his grandson would cross the ocean to Japan to burn the Yasukuni Shrine and become an "anti-Japanese hero" on another "battlefield".
0000000 In March 2011, a major earthquake occurred in Japan, with local people suffering heavy casualties, and it also had a great impact on the psychology of survivors who witnessed the disaster.
At this time, Liu Qiang , who is engaged in English education and psychological counseling in Guangzhou, saw the tragic situation of the Japanese people on TV, and decided to go to the disaster area in Japan to serve as a volunteer, and use his strengths to help the Japanese people get out of their suffering as soon as possible.
In October, Liu Qiang, who was very sympathetic to the Japanese people, came to Japan as a volunteer and was arranged to enter the YMCA school in Wakayama Prefecture for Japanese training.
There are also many Chinese students in this school, but he found that the teacher treats Japanese students very respectfully and often uses respectful words in daily communication and study, but often takes domineering instructions to Chinese students. The two different attitudes made Liu Qiang very angry.
For this reason, in a class, the teacher asked the students to make sentences. When it was Liu Qiang's turn, he said directly: " We destroyed a small team of Japanese devils. "
When Liu Qiang made such sentences, the teacher blushed and did not investigate in depth.
Later, the school held a party, in which Liu Qiang played music while telling the participants about the Nanjing Massacre. Liu Qiang's move completely angered the school and was eventually ordered to leave the school.
Even though he was treated like this, Liu Qiang did not choose to leave. Instead, he continued to go to the disaster area as a volunteer, provide psychological counseling to the people in the disaster area, and donate blood voluntarily.
He has completely opposite attitudes towards the Japanese people and Japanese militarism!
Liu Qiang later recalled the scene at that time and was still angry:
"Many Japanese people still look at the Chinese with "slave-like" eyes. I occasionally act as a thorn in Japan, which makes them feel uncomfortable."
Just when Liu Qiang was half a month before the end of the volunteer service period, something suddenly happened completely ignited the anger in his heart.
In December 2011, South Korean President Lee Ming Bo visited Japan. During the talks, Lee Ming raised the issue of resolving comfort women to the Japanese side, but was rejected by the Noda government.
At the same time, 68 Japanese government members also collectively visited the Yasukuni Shrine, which holds the tablets of several Class A war criminals of the Japanese invaders.
The various actions of the Japanese authorities angered Liu Qiang, who is a volunteer in Japan.
He is not only a descendant of the anti-Japanese heroes, but also a family member of the victims of the war.
His grandmother is named Li Nanying . She is a Korean . In 1942, she was forcibly arrested by the Japanese and brought to China and sent to the military camp to be a comfort woman. After the Japanese surrendered, she stayed in China.
Liu Qiang grew up in his grandmother’s house since he was a child and had a very deep relationship with his grandmother. Before his grandmother died, Liu Qiang learned about the tragic experience of his grandmother being a comfort woman and felt very sad inside.
Grandpa is a famous anti-Japanese hero, and grandma is a comfort woman. Her unique family background and her influence since childhood made Liu Qiang extremely hate Japanese militarism.
When Liu Qiang saw the ugly face of the Japanese authorities, he was furious and immediately wrote the words "Apologize" heavily on his white volunteer T-shirt with a red pen.
But the resentment in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time. Liu Qiang was determined to implement a "bold plan" to teach the Japanese authorities a lesson.
After careful planning and arrangements, he set the time for his actions on December 26. This day is not only the birth of the great leader Chairman Mao, but also the day of his grandmother's death.
At 2 a.m. on December 26, everything was silent around the Yasukuni Shrine, and there was almost no one. Liu Qiang, wearing a black down jacket, came to the position he had set during the day to check in, took out the gasoline he had prepared, poured it on the base of the shrine and the national emblem on the top, and then lit it with a lighter.
Gasoline was instantly ignited when it encountered fire, and the flames jumped up, illuminating the surroundings.
Seeing that the plan to burn the Yasukuni Shrine was implemented, Liu Qiang quickly took a taxi that had been booked long ago to Narita Airport , bought the most recent flight ticket to South Korea, and ran away.
Due to the escalation of conflicts between Japan and South Korea due to the issue of comfort women, the Japanese government once believed that the Chinese would not dare to do this, and the arson case must have been done by the Koreans.
Chinese people don’t have blood? Liu Qiang was once again angry with the attitude of the Japanese and immediately issued a statement on the Internet, admitting that the matter was done by him and being responsible for the arson case.
However, in South Korea, Liu Qiang was not investigated by any government departments, but his "retaliation" has not stopped...
On January 3, 2012, Liu Qiang once again followed his operations in Japan not long ago and came to the Japanese embassy in , and smashed the gasoline bottle that had been prepared on the exterior wall of the embassy.
This time, Liu Qiang did not choose to leave, but watched the fire spread in the Japanese embassy with his own eyes.
Not long after, South Korean police arrived and arrested Liu Qiang.
But unexpectedly, the South Korean police not only did not prosecute Liu Qiang for "arson", but also designated his behavior as a "righteous act", and sentenced him to 210 months in prison for causing minor damage to the building.
During his stay in South Korea, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea sent special personnel to visit Liu Qiang many times and provided him with necessary help.
First burn the Yasukuni Shrine and then the Japanese Embassy. Liu Qiang's actions completely angered Japan.
Japanese authorities not only put pressure on South Korea through government channels, but also sent former Prime Minister Aso Taro in person to South Korea to seek people, demanding that Liu Qiang be extradited to Japan for trial.
At the same time, China has adopted a very tough attitude, "never allow South Korea to extradite Liu Qiang to Japan."
Just as China and Japan were playing against each other on the "Liu Qiang extradition issue", South Korean anti-Japanese groups held a large-scale demonstration in Seoul, demanding that the government refuse to extradite Chinese Liu Qiang to Japan, and many Koreans regarded him as an anti-Japanese hero.
On November 29, 2012, Liu Qiang was under the first extradition trial in South Korea. In order to extradite Liu Qiang back to China, the South Korean authorities hired five lawyers from Sejong Law Firm to appear in court to defend Liu Qiang.
This powerful lawyer team is an important "big figure" in the Korean judicial circle, such as , who served as the Seoul Central District Attorney General and the President of the Legal Scholarship, , Mingdong-sung , and , who served as the judge of the Seoul High Court, Li Yingqiu , and others.
Finally, on January 3, 2013, the South Korean court extradited Liu Qiang to China on the grounds that he was a "political prisoner" and did not comply with the "South Korea-Japan Criminal Extradition Treaty".
In this way, the "Fire of Yasukuni Shrine" that lasted for a year came to an end. As the protagonist, Liu Qiang returned to his motherland the day after the court's judgment.
1945, Liu Bing, the anti-Japanese hero, sprinkled blood in the suburbs of the city. During his more than ten years of his army, he experienced ten years of land war and anti-Japanese war. He was a Red Army soldier who walked down from Jinggangshan , the commander of the New Fourth Army who stood firm in the War of Resistance against Japan behind enemy lines, and the commander Fang mentioned by the people of the revolutionary base areas.
The "Tiger Regiment" he led dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army on the land of central China, demonstrating the passion of the Chinese men.
66 years after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese authorities were not ashamed of launching a war of aggression against China, nor did they apologize. They not only distort history, but also openly worshiped the Yasukuni Shrine, which had a serious militaristic color.
As a descendant of anti-Japanese heroes, Liu Qiang has the blood of heroes flowing in his bones, and he inherited the sacred mission of his ancestors to expel the Tartars and revitalize China. He also accused the Japanese authorities of their crimes that year in the simplest and most effective way.
Some people say that Liu Qiang is a patriot, some people say that Liu Qiang is an extreme, and many people mixed praises and criticize his behavior.
I think he is right, as the Russian President once said: "Hyper 3 diplomatic protests a hundred times, it is better to let the bomber flap the wings once. " This is the fact. Only by taking practical actions can Japan and its people be deeply impressed!
As a Chinese, we are not qualified to forgive the Japanese invaders for the martyrs. All we can do is not forget the national humiliation, remember history, and revitalize China. Only when we are strong can we eliminate the recurrence of history. Only when we are strong can we make the enemy realize our mistakes!
