Now, the smoke of war has long gone, and those tragic and passion have disappeared from our sight, but these veterans who fought for the country and were not afraid of sacrifice, as well as their stories, are worth remembering forever.

Today is the anniversary of the "September 18th Incident".

89 years ago, it was on this day that the Japanese army started by bombing the Beida Camp in Shenyang, trying to drag the poor and weak China step by step into the abyss of destruction of the country and the seed.

Now, the smoke of war has long gone, and those tragic and passion have disappeared from our sight. But these veterans who fought for the country and were not afraid of sacrifice, and their stories are worth remembering forever.

Wang Weihua: Comrades-in-arms were hit in the neck, and their blood was like spring water

Wang Weihua, a veteran who is nearly a hundred years old, can still sing a song "On the Songhua River". The bitter memories of the war years are still deeply imprinted in the old man's mind.

Wang Weihua was once a messenger. When fighting on the Han River, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zizhong issued an order: "Don't let the old Japanese cross the Han River." Therefore, no matter how late or how tight the time is, as long as he receives a new order, he must set off immediately.

Warning in the mountains is even more difficult. Once, in order to capture the mountain, the troops "turned over the Gangu". There was only a little mud and water in the Gangu. The soldiers were so thirsty that they couldn't help but drink it.

"After drinking the water, there was still sand in my mouth, and a crackling sound."

that battle lasted for more than 30 hours, and the soldiers had never had a meal. When it was almost dark, the troops rushed to the foot of the mountain and were about to cook when suddenly a Japanese plane flew over and bombed, and machine guns and cannons on the ground fired together. In an instant, the soldiers didn't bother to eat and could only fight quickly.

There are too many enemies coming. Wang Weihua still clearly remembers that A comrade in the neck was shot in front of him, and blood sprayed far away like a spring, which was terrible...

survived the cruelty of the war, and the past of the War of Resistance has become an indelible thing in Wang Weihua's bones. Imprint. Now, he talks about his experience in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and he can sing several songs of the War of Resistance Against Japan that are full of blood and tears or courage.

He has been living alone on the mountain. Another time, the water pipe was dug in the mountains because of road construction. The old man did not have enough water, so a volunteer girl reinstalled a water pipe for him and repaired the pool.

Although the volunteers briefly accompanied the old man, the veteran who had experienced the hardships of the war was still as happy as a child.

Huang Haichao: In that battle, all the comrades in the cave were sacrificed

Huang Haichao is also a veteran who survived the War of Resistance.

1943, he left his wife and went to the battlefield after just a few days of marriage. He first participated in the Changde Battle, but later Changde fell and his troops were dispersed. He returned to Guangxi and continued to join the army.

"If you don't go to the battlefield, I won't go to the battlefield, the country will perish!"

1944, the Japanese army invaded Guilin , and the battle to defend Guilin began. The troops where Huang Haichao was located fought fiercely with the Japanese army for 10 days, killing and wounding nearly 10,000 enemy soldiers. It was not until the Japanese reinforcements arrived that many positions such as Putuo Mountain and Crescent Mountain were lost one after another.

When outnumbered, Huang Haichao and hundreds of soldiers were forced to retreat to the Qixing Cave.

He wants to break through the rock mouth behind. "Break through the siege, fight against the enemy when you die, and revive the enemy when you are alive, and still deserve the national people." Huanghai Tide found some mahjong piled up at the entrance of the rock. If you climb up, you might be able to get out of the hole. He seized the opportunity to guard the Japanese army and climbed up the mahjong.

can be smooth. Seeing this, a platoon leader next to him held up the Yellow Sea Tide with his shoulders and asked him to climb out of the hole. Who knew that at this moment, three explosions suddenly sounded in the cave. In just one or two seconds, the poisonous gas scattered all over the cave.

The Yellow Sea tide fell from the entrance of the rock to the outside of the cave. There was only a "whimper" sound, and then there was no sound again.

In that battle, everyone who trapped the Qixing Cave, except for the Huang Haichao, sacrificed all the people. Now Huang Haichao talks about this past event, his heartache is still hard to hide his heartache in his words: "The division commander committed suicide, the chief of staff in the army was killed, and the chief of staff of Guilin City Defense Command was also killed..."

passed by the god of death He has lived alone in his nephew's old house for decades.The old man's left fingers were almost completely broken, and he had to use a cane to walk. Since he had no children, he could only rely on his nephew next door to take care of him. The old house will leak a little in winter, so volunteers who care about the Anti-Japanese War Veterans' Charity Fund brought warm bedding to Huang Haichao.

He still cares about national affairs as he did back then. In order to facilitate the elderly to watch the news, the volunteers also installed TV for him. Sometimes when volunteers come to visit, Huang Haichao will discuss the international and domestic situation with them, not like a 101-year-old man at all.

Yao Shubei: Every battle is fought for sacrifice

The elder brother of the veteran Yao Shubei is also a soldier.

Back then, the Japanese army attacked Luoyang, and the brother encountered a large number of enemy troops on the way with the troops and unfortunately died. Since then, national hatred and family hatred have made Yao Shubei regard the Japanese invaders as mortal enemies. "Every battle is fought for sacrifice."

The most difficult battle in memory is In Lin County. That time, the Japanese army gathered about 30,000 troops and slammed under the cover of aircraft and tanks. Although our army has more than 10,000 people, the only heavy weapons are mortar and heavy machine gun . After a few days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army captured the city wall and broke through the four lines of defense deployed by our army in the city. "Until the end, the bullets were all fired, and the division commander actually fought against the enemy with his sword."

Yao Shubei's troops also won battles. At the Huixian Triangle Estuary, because it is located in the mountainous area, the Japanese tanks and cannons cannot perform their functions, so our army surrounded the enemy in a ravine, suppressed it from above, and killed thousands of enemies.

The Japanese army, who were unwilling to accept the defeat, then dozens of aircraft were summoned to bomb our positions every day. On the way the soldiers charged, an enemy bomb fell beside Yao Shubei. The soil from the shells buried all his legs--the miracle was that Yao Shubei was not injured. Climb out of the soil and continue to charge and fight. lasted for half a month before the Japanese army's remnants fled in a hurry under the cover of the plane under the cover of the fog.

Now, this iron-blooded veteran is nearly a hundred years old and lives with his son in an old community in Luoyang. The room is not big, but the elderly are very satisfied with life and the children are also very filial.

Conclusion: Confrontation with forgetting is the last respect for veterans

A volunteer once asked Wang Yiping, a veteran who had experienced the "September 18th Incident", "Your father and brother have joined the army. According to the conscription rules, you don't have to join the army, why are you still Stick to go? "

The old man covered his chest with a solemn expression, "I have a Chinese heart."

Xu Binglin, a veteran who escaped from death in Nanjing, was seriously injured several times in the battle, but when he recalled the years of war, he still said, "Chinese soldiers are not afraid of death, they will die if they want to die!"

Almost everyone in the Chinese soldiers during the War of Resistance Against Japan They never thought that they could still survive until the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. What they thought might be to trade their lives for the land behind them, so that their compatriots could live well.

Nowadays, the average age of veterans who have survived in the world is as high as 97 years old, and their deaths are getting faster and faster. These memories that have paid their lives will be gradually buried with time.

They are the last "witness" in this history. One day, they will all leave... uses memory to fight forgetting, which is our last respect to the veterans of the War of Resistance.
