That's right, the original word is "Guerrilla Song", and so far in many performances, the title of the song has been incorrectly written as "Guerrilla Song", which is very unserious.
The composer of "Guerrilla Song" is He Luting, and the lyricists are Cui Wei, Seke, Ding Li, and He Luting.
At the end of 1937, He Luting came to the anti-Japanese front line in Shanxi with the anti-Japanese rescue drama team of the Shanghai literary and art circles, where the Eighth Route Army had just attacked Yangmingbao Airport, annihilated more than 100 Japanese soldiers, and destroyed and damaged 24 enemy planes.
Li Yunpeng, who came to greet the troupe of the Eighth Route Army, was a comrade-in-arms who participated in the Guangzhou riot with He Luting, and Li Yunpeng took He Luting's hand and said: "You wrote "Riot Song" in Hailufeng back then, and today you should write a better anti-Japanese song!”
He Luting agreed.
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, General Peng Xuefeng gave a lecture on guerrilla warfare to the Eighth Route Army cadet corps. High mountains, dense forests, towering hills, the guerrillas are elusive, and they disappear without a trace immediately after ...... attack
He Luting Cui Wei They were deeply fascinated by guerrilla warfare, immersed in the passionate battle scenes, He Luting felt a passionate melody sounding in his heart, the soldiers' rapid marching posture drove the drum beat of the snare drum, and a string of melodies turned into notes and floated out, unlike other songs, "Guerrilla Song" is a pre-existing tune.
A team of the Eighth Route Army is about to go to the front line again, and the drama team wants to compose a song for the soldiers before they set out.
Seke, Ding Li, Cui Wei, and He Luting wrote the lyrics under the kerosene lamp, "No guns, no cannons, the enemy made us!."This lyric was first mentioned and became the soul of the whole song. "We are all sharpshooters, and every bullet destroys an enemy;We are all flying troops, even if the mountains are high and the waters are deep. ”
He Luting stayed up all night, "put the unimportant words or linings on the tap, put the important words on the long note or downbeat, and consider the specific arrangement of each lyric according to the rhythm change of the tune and the progress of the melody line......."”
Early the next morning, He Luting excitedly said to everyone that "Guerrilla Song" had been written.
He Luting sang the song to the soldiers who had returned from behind enemy lines, and the soldiers sang it one after another. The original phrase of He Luting is "Every bullet destroys an enemy", and the same is true of the original manuscripts that have survived to this day, but for some reason, the soldiers sang it as "every bullet destroys an enemy".
When He Luting's daughter, He Yuanyuan, visited the veterans of the Eighth Route Army, the old heroes still sang "every bullet destroys an enemy" today, and He Yuanyuan was also confused.
On January 6, 1938, at the party held at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Hongdong, Shanxi, He Luting commanded the first team of the Shanghai Cultural Circle Salvation Drama Team to sing the "Guerrilla Song" for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army for the first time.
Without the accompaniment of the band, He Luting held his arms high to command, and all the actors sang passionately with the beat.
Before the song was finished, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.
*, Ren Bishi, ** and Wei Lihuang all stood up and applauded the actors, "Guerrilla Song" has since spread all over the country, and a group of enthusiastic young people have defected to Yan'an under the inspiration of "Guerrilla Song".
In 1943, ** met with He Luting and said: "Your "Guerrilla Song" is very well written. ”
What is less known is that "Guerrilla Song" also has a second lyrics:
Even if the Japanese robbers are fierce, our brothers are really brave in battle, even if the enemy is ruthless in guns and can't find our people.
Let the enemy rush indiscriminately, our positions are built behind the enemy's flank, and the longer the enemy's battle line, the more our ranks will expand.
Regardless of whether they are poor or rich, 40,000 compatriots are armed, regardless of party or faction, everyone has come to resist.
The more we fought, the stronger we became, the Japanese bandits themselves went to perdition, and on the day of the final victory, world peace dawned.
The second lyrics well embody the purpose of uniting the War of Resistance, and I don't know when and for what reason it was annihilated, and there is still no solution.
The original manuscript of "Guerrilla Song" has been treasured by He Luting. In 1961, He Luting, then the president of the Shanghai ** Academy, donated the original manuscript of the song to the Revolutionary History Museum.
The original manuscript of "Guerrilla Song" by He Luting has been treasured as a national first-class cultural relic.
