One calledPan Weipingof elementary school teachers, during the Anti-Japanese WarExperienced a thrilling past:
In October 1938, after the Japanese imperialists invaded and occupied Wuhan, less than two years later, Jianli, Gong'an and other counties in Hubei fell one after another. Neighboring counties in Hunan, such as Anxiang and Nanxian, which are close to the borders of these counties, are often subjected to circling and strafing by Japanese planes, and the casualties of the people are heard from time to time.
At that timeSanxian Lake, Shagang CityIn the area, the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders arrived, and the people, animals and property were swept away. Adjacent to the Three Immortals LakeYuanjiang CountyCaowei Town is the target of robbery and harassment by Japanese criminals at any time.
From 1943 to 1944, Pan Weiping was at Caowei Town Central Primary SchoolServe as Dean of Instruction, evacuate with students during the day, or barely start classes, and sleep hard at night. In February and March of 1944, Japanese planes frequently circled over Caowei Town to reconnoitre, and the residents of the town were panicked, and large merchants and small shops were evacuated one after another. The school also closed classes and meals for the safety of teachers and students, and all teachers went home to evacuate.
On March 5, Pan Weiping took the suitcase and quilt and took the No. 9 ferry of the Yidu Bureau back to the Yuan River. Unexpectedly, when the ship reached the humanoid rock, the hum of the Japanese machine and the puff of the motorboat were heard from far and near. Suddenly, the Japanese planes were in the air, the machine guns were constantly strafing, and the passengers on the ship had nowhere to hide, running in all directions, and the order was in chaos. Some jumped into the river, others squeezed into the cabin.
Pan Weiping was already sitting in the cabin, and when he saw a cotton bag next to the cabin, he was in a hurry, so he immediately grabbed the cotton bag and covered his head and chest. The other passengers, panicked, had to squeeze around himShrink into a ball and resign yourself to fate.
At this time, only the bullets were heard, like hail, and the planks of the ship rattled. There was a shuttle bullet that pierced into the roof of the cabin and into the cotton bales, making a popping sound. Pan Weiping and the passengers crowded around him were terrified.
The Japanese plane flew away, and the motorboat approached the ferry, and several Japanese criminals, armed with machine guns, came to the hatch and yelled at the people on board. forced them to raise their hands and go out of the cabin, Pan Weiping and the others did not dare not comply. There are two young women and one middle-aged womanForcibly seized, not allowed to leave the cabin, guarded by a traitor who speaks with a Hubei accent.
Pan Weiping and the others were terrified and did not know how they would be executed. After being escorted to the bow of the boat, the Japanese raiders searched them one by one, and then overturned everyone into the river. Pan Weiping couldn't swim, so he had to hold on to the side of the boat and slowly move under the bow. When he saw the iron ring of a rope, he grabbed it, and then cautiously explored the depth of the water, and happened to land at the bottom of the riverFlooded waist.
Pan Weiping thought to himself: After the Japanese invaders left, he would not be drowned, but the water was cold and unbearable. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the Japanese invaders shouting loudly on the bow of the ship. One of themA traitor with a Hubei accent, to the masses who can swim from time to time when they float on the water"Taijun wants to take the boat away, if you want to live, get on the boat and drive the boat, otherwise, send you back to heaven." ”
The people were unwilling to serve the devils, and they plunged into the deep water one by one, absconding for their lives. When the Japanese on the ship saw it, they roared like thunder. There was a burst of machine gunfire, and blood stained the river. Pity these ordinary people, there are many people who are like this.
Then I heard the sound of the Japanese prisoner's leather shoes, and walked into the cabin with a "click, click, click". They yelled and screamed, followed by the screams of a young woman struggling and beating, and the intermittent cries and pleadings of another womanMixed with the cruel laughter of the Japanese invaders.
More than 20 minutes later, the Japanese soldiers were gone, and a traitor said to Pan Weiping and the others in an insulting tone"Boy, let's go, it's going to bomb the ship!”
Hearing the traitor's words, Pan Weiping, who was hiding under the bow of the boat, trembled with fright. After Rikou jumped on the motorboat and left, he immediately looked left and right, and quietly waded up the embankment. There are a lot of people on the slopesRunning desperately forward.
Pan Weiping also hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up, and when he was about 200 or 300 meters away, he heard the rumbling sound of Japanese planes coming from far and near. There is nowhere to hideI had to lie on the grass and resign myself to fate.
After circling for a week, Japanese planes aimed at Ferry 9 and dropped a bomb. There was a loud "boom", and the smoke billowed from the scene, and the fire was raging, reaching into the sky. Pity the women on the No. 9 ship who were ruined by the Japanese army, and the civilians who were injured by the Japanese army, along with the cargo and luggage of the whole shipAll of them were blown to shreds......
After the Japanese plane flew away, Pan Weiping and the surviving masses hurriedly got up and fled, successfully escaping from the clutches of the Japanese army.
Pan Weiping will never forget this experience for the rest of his life, and he can't forget the hardships of the Japanese army and the people.
Pan Weiping said"I witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese army, the Japanese soldiers abused women in front of my eyes, and the most hateful thing was the traitors, they were even more ** than the devils.
