In February 11938, in the battle to defend the ancient city of Changzhi, Shanxi, facing the influx of Japanese troops, Li Zhanhong, a child soldier of the Sichuan Army, was calmly pulled the bolt, loaded and shot without any fear amid the sound of gunfire. In his eyes, he has decisive courage that is inconsistent with his age and a firm and deep determination to face life and death, and he is completely different from a 13-year-old child.
Just a week ago, Li Zhanhong saw the Japanese army for the first time, his eyes were filled with fear and his voice was trembling. But now he can shoot and throw grenades at the Japanese like a veteran, , and ignore life and death .
Although Li Zhanhong is still a child, he has experienced too much separation from life and death. The platoon leader who took him and his younger brother who depended on him fell in front of him, lying in a pool of blood and never woke up again.
1937 After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident in , the situation was critical. Sichuan Army General Li Jiayu was ordered to lead the 47th Army of the Sichuan Army National Revolutionary Army out of Sichuan War of Resistance. Li Zhanhong, the boy scout whose parents both died, took his younger brother and followed the Sichuan Army led by Li Jiajue, and went north along the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, to the southeastern Shanxi Province.
Due to the urgency of war, this Sichuan army had no time to change their clothes and guns. They were wearing thin military uniforms and straw sandals. When they were tired and sleepy, they used dry tobacco to refresh themselves. After more than 40 days of long journey, entering is still the north of ice and snow.
The Sichuan Army is even more backward in terms of weapons. Some soldiers have only weapons such as big knives and grenades. Most of the soldiers equipped with guns are worn-out guns made in Sichuan. Many of these guns are handmade products. Compared with industrial standardized guns, there is a huge difference in quality. Sometimes, if you shoot two shots, you can't pull the bolt.
However, Sichuan Army The whole army is full of morale, and is determined to "a man wants to serve the country with great kindness, but he will die on the battlefield and dies to the battlefield and will have a good end."
At this time, Li Zhanhong, who went on the expedition with the army, belonged to a special unit in the Sichuan Army - the Chinese Boy Scouts. The Chinese Boy Scouts were produced under the specific historical circumstances of China. At its peak, the number of people reached 200,000, which made the Japanese dare not underestimate them. They conducted special research on the Chinese Boy Scouts before launching the war of aggression against China. Adhering to the principle of "military must start with the baby", the Chinese Boy Scouts was officially established in Nanjing on November 1, 1934. Chiang Kai-shek personally served as the president of the general, and He Yingqin as the deputy president and commander-in-chief.
Boy Scouts have up to 70 or 80 training courses, covering all aspects, including fire making, camping, sewing, rescue, reconnaissance, measurement, mapping, bridge building, astrology, swimming, electronic radio, medical rescue knowledge, boating, navigation, water life saving, etc.
In 1936, more than 10,000 boy scouts across the country gathered in Nanjing for the largest inspection ever. These children were singing military songs and shouting commands, taking neat steps, pausing and saluting heavily...
After watching the Boy Scouts' performance, the three sisters of the Song family emphasized: "Boy Scouts can only engage in rear-level battlefield service, not on the battlefield."
However, when the Japanese came and the country and nation survived, these young lives had to go to the battlefield. In the cruel Songshan battle, the national army suffered heavy casualties, and the commander had to order the boy scouts to charge. The US military adviser tried his best to dissuade: "Commander, these soldiers are still children. They are so immature and are the hope of the country's future."
National Army commander replied tragically: "The war is at this point. If they cannot charge, there is really no hope in this country."
html l0Songshan BattleExpeditionary Force invested more than 7,000 baby soldiers. Several people have returned from war since ancient times. In the end, thousands of baby soldiers stained Songshan blood, and more than 1,000 baby soldiers buried their bones in the green mountains. The youngest was only 9 years old and the oldest was 15 years old, and there were many girls...
In order to commemorate these early deaths, there is a special group of Boy Scout statues in the Chinese Expeditionary Force statues in Longling County, Yunnan.
During the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, countless Chinese Boy Scouts sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, and wrote about the Spring and Autumn Period with heartbreak. Many of them have withered before they bloom.

Facing several large sieges of Japanese troops, Li Jiayu ordered the defenders to abandon Licheng, resist step by step, and retreat to Changzhi. The 178th Division of the 47th Army of the Sichuan Army vowed to guard Longgang Mountain outside the east gate of Changzhi to the death.
The Japanese army attacked fiercely with aircraft and cannons, and the Sichuan army fought with inferior weapons. vowed to fight bravely, causing great damage to the Japanese army. grenades were all shot and bullets were shot.

During the battle, Li Zhanhong and other boy scouts investigated the enemy situation on the front line and rescued the wounded. During the battle, fortifications were built, food was prepared, and ammunition was transported.
htmlOn February 18, the Japanese army, who had been unable to capture for a long time, suddenly divided their troops and surrounded the back and forth, and launched an attack at the same time. The Sichuan army was attacked from both sides and lost the Longgang Mountain in Xiongguan, with heavy casualties and had to retreat to the ancient city of Changzhi. Li Jiayu gathered the remaining troops and deployed them inside and outside the ancient city, blocking the north gate, east gate and west gate with a large number of bricks and stones, leaving only one entrance to the south gate farthest from the Japanese army.On the afternoon of February 19, the cavalry of the Japanese turquoise brigade arrived first, and the main force followed. After observing the battlefield, the Japanese army besieged the city, left the south gate, and surrounded Changzhi on the other three sides.
Brigade commander Tomamidi ordered the Japanese army to bombard the city with cannons and bombard the east and north directions, but did not hit the south gate, and wanted to force the Sichuan army away from the south gate to achieve its strategic goal. The Sichuan Army was in a state of great enthusiasm. Under the leadership of the squad leader, Li Zhanhong, together with his younger brother and comrades, blocked the last south gate with bricks and stones to show his ambition to fight to the death.
At 9:00 am on February 21, under the continuous and fierce bombing of the Japanese army, a large gap was blown up in the north city wall, and the Japanese army rushed in like a tide. In order to block the gap, the Sichuan Army rushed up regardless of life and death, and was tragic. The Sichuan Army's brave resistance and fighting sounded through the sky. After the bullets were fired, they used grenades and bayonets to fight with the enemy, hugged the enemy, jumped off the city wall, and died with the enemy.
Sichuan Army used his life to disperse the enemy entering the North Gate. The Japanese army soon organized stronger firepower and manpower to retake it. After repeated tug-of-war between the two sides, it was getting late, and the Japanese army voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield. The Sichuan Army blocked the north gate with bricks and stones overnight.
However, the Sichuan Army was completely using its life to fill in the Japanese offensive, and the number of personnel was very serious. That night, Li Jiayu personally inspected the Children's Corps and told the Boy Scouts the tragic past of Song Generals fighting against the Jin soldiers here. He almost ordered the Boy Scouts who were over 11 years old to be equipped with guns and replenished the front-line combat troops. Li Jiayu looked at these childish children with tears in his eyes and said sadly: "The country has come to this point, everyone needs to do their best for this..." After the wall of the north gate of
was destroyed, in order to reduce casualties, Li Jiayu ordered the Sichuan army to retreat to the inner city and start street fighting with the Japanese army . The city in the north gate of Changzhi City was fighting everywhere, and there was a sea of fire everywhere.
On Xiaobeiying Street, a group of Japanese soldiers surrounded two father and son soldiers who had run out of ammunition and food, trying to capture them alive. The father shot his son to death, and then killed himself with the last bullet...
The Japanese army at the North Gate fell into a hard battle, and was bitten by the Sichuan army and killed it in a difficult way. It was difficult to decide the victory and defeat for a while. The Japanese brigade commander Mama Midi chose the tactic of two sides to advance, and supported the Japanese army that was struggling to fight at the North Gate. The Japanese army bombarded the east gate of with cannons. After more than 1,000 bullets were dropped, it finally exploded the gap in the city wall. The Japanese army clamored and rushed forward.
At a critical moment, the Sichuan Army guarding here launched a regiment charge. Li Zhanhong and his brother's platoon leader Gao Qiyu ordered them to stay. The rest of the adult soldiers charged and fought with the Japanese army in hand and blood flowed on the positions.
After fierce battle, the Japanese army was driven out of the city wall, but only three soldiers in the Sichuan Army returned alive, and Li Zhanhong burst into tears behind the position.
22 just dawn, and the Japanese army continued to bomb the collapsed area of the East Gate city wall with heavy artillery. After expanded it into a slope, a large number of Japanese soldiers charged again with their guns and shouted.
Sichuan Army faced tit-for-tat, and used guns, bricks, stones, fists and feet to meet the Japanese army in the gap. It organized suicide squads to launch two death counterattacks, and retreated to the stubborn enemy.
Helplessly, the Japanese soldiers were numerous, and eventually attacked the Changzhi city gate on a large scale. Both sides entered the bloodiest street battles from street to house. The Sichuan army fought against the strong with weak and refused to retreat. There were many dead in the entire battalion.
The staff, adjutants, direct companies and staff of the Sichuan Army and the brigade department all form the final reserve team. The boy scouts placed at the end of the front line were all pulled to the front line. 13-year-old Li Zhanhong led his younger brother and other boy scouts to yell at "fearing the hammer" and "killing them as if they were asleep" to rush to the front line.
Then in the street fighting, Li Zhanhong's younger brother and two other boy scouts were hit by Japanese artillery fire and died on the spot. Li Zhanhong did not cry, there were no tears in his eyes, only blood and hatred.
At this time, there were tragic street fighting everywhere in Changzhi Ancient City, with gunfire, shouts of killing and screams endlessly. The Sichuan Army vowed not to surrender. In the battle against the Japanese light and heavy machine guns, it launched a group charge, and often the entire company and the platoon fell, which was extremely tragic. In the ancient city, corpses lie everywhere and alleys, and the roads are blocked.
Li Zhanhong followed the platoon leader Gao Qiyu to charge. The platoon leader was hit by Japanese artillery shells, his abdomen bloomed, and his legs were also blown off. Li Zhanhong was closest to him, so he hurriedly took out gauze and ran up to treat him. Platoon leader Gao Qiyu grabbed Li Zhanhong's hand, shook his head and said, "This injury is beyond help, don't waste time." After that, he handed over the military academy badge to his subordinates, watched them gritting their teeth and roaring: "Fight to the end of the death", and then pulled out their guns to commit suicide.
That night, the Sichuan army in Changzhi's ancient city was exhausted from ammunition and food. Li Jiayu saw that there was no danger to defend the ancient city and the battle was in danger, so he ordered the troops to abandon the city and break through. After late at night, all the troops of the Sichuan Army retreated to the south wall and broke out from the south gate.
also had some of the Sichuan Army troops at the forefront that were at the forefront by the Japanese army and could not withdraw. They spontaneously acted as the troops who cut off the rear and fought to the death to block the Japanese army. This part of the Sichuan Army was finally compressed by the Japanese army to the southwest city wall area. was isolated and helpless. After the bullets were fired, it was deeply encircled.
Even so, in the face of the Japanese army's persuasion to surrender, the Sichuan army soldier chose to smash the gun or throw it into the well, and picked up a knife and a stick to fight with the Japanese army.
They would rather die than surrender, shouting and rushing towards the enemy, 13-year-old Li Zhanhong was also in this lonely army. He picked up the bayonet and joined the countless boy scouts around him, shouting and charging with the army, living to death. During the hand-to-hand battle, Li Zhanhong was stabbed into the chest by the Japanese bayonet and died heroically, and he was bleeding from the lonely city and blood soaked the world.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were many unknown soldiers and boy scouts like Li Zhanhong. They gave their young lives and did not even leave their names, just to give China and the nation a bright future.
In the Battle of Changzhi, a Class A regiment of the Sichuan Army fought to the point where the entire army was almost wiped out. During the entire Changzhi Battle, 7,000 warriors of the Sichuan Army died heroically, killing more than 1,500 Japanese soldiers, and none of them surrendered. After the war, the Japanese army, who were so angry that they had nowhere to vent their anger, massacred more than 3,000 people in the city.
Heroes are immortal, Sichuan Army is immortal. Men should take Wu Gou and collect 50 states in Guanshan. The heroic sacrifice of the Sichuan Army impressed the Japanese army. After the Japanese army invaded Changzhi City, they buried the fallen Sichuan Army officers and soldiers in Yujiabochi and erected a wooden tombstone to tell the world. Japanese officers and soldiers also salute when they passed by here.
