"The bones of the arson heroes still exist, and he deserves to be the heroes of the world. Since ancient times, the land of Yan and Zhao has many affectionate and meaningful people, and the land of Qilu has also been full of heroes with pride and ambition. The territory that was once rampant with Japanese invaders made the Japanese invaders at that time suffer greatly, but they were never able to resist.
This small unit is world-famous'Railway guerrillas'。"
Have you ever been drawn to the railway guerrillas in film and television productions, but know little about their captains and their post-war roles? The Railway Guerrillas were founded in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War and were named after their base in Zaozhuang, Shandong.
After the end of the war, they held important positions in nation-building. The first captain of the railway guerrillas was Hong Zhenhai, himself a native of Shandong.
Hong Zhenhai was born in a poor family, lacking food and clothing, and his material life was extremely difficult. However, this living environment did not make him succumb, but shaped his tenacious, unyielding, resolute and resolute character traits.
As a man of the workers' and peasants' background, he chose to devote himself to the revolutionary cause, joined the Communist Party of China, and engaged in revolutionary work in the local area under the leadership of the party. With the outbreak of Japan's war of aggression against China, he threw himself into the front line of the War of Resistance without hesitation, showing the firm belief and selfless dedication of a revolutionary.
Hong Zhenhai, a railway worker who was familiar with the local terrain and customs, founded the predecessor of the railway guerrillas because of the orders of the party organization. He is not only skilled, but also because he is bold and careful, meticulous and able to adapt to opportunities, so he can repeatedly perform miraculous feats behind enemy lines.
Hong Zhenhai's shrewdness and deep mass base made it difficult for him to be easily defeated in front of the Japanese invaders. However, this anti-Japanese hero was unable to witness the evacuation of the invaders.
By bribing the scum of the nation, Japan successfully obtained accurate information about Liu Zhenhai's whereabouts, and finally arrested Liu Zhenhai in December 1941.
In the middle of the night, the Japanese army quickly deployed, quietly sending nearly a thousand Japanese puppet troops to surround the station of the railway guerrillas with lightning speed. Hong Zhenhai was not spared by the sudden attack, and he was shot and killed while covering the breakthrough of his comrades.
Although the death of this anti-Japanese hero dealt a huge blow to the railway guerrillas, it did not bring them to their knees. The war continued, and they remained on the front line against Japan.
Liu Jinshan, the second and last captain of the railway guerrillas. His life experience is very similar to Hong Zhenhai, both are fighters who grew up in ups and downs.
Not long after Hong Zhenhai's sacrifice, Liu Jinshan stood out in the test of the organization and officially took on the important task of the captain. He lived up to expectations, took over Hong Zhenhai's unfinished mission, and inherited Hong Zhenhai's firm will to resist aggression and defend the nation-state to the death.
Liu Jinshan, with his unique sword courage and heart, showed his personal ability to surpass Hong Zhenhai. Against this background, the railway guerrillas intensified their efforts to sabotage the enemy's railway supply lines, strictly controlled the whereabouts of the troops' stations, and strengthened the vigilance of their posts at night.
At the same time, a thorough internal inventory was carried out to rule out potential risk factors. Therefore, even if the enemy wants to use the previous means again, it will be difficult to succeed.
Liu Jinshan was once entrusted with the important task of escorting **important leaders*** and **. At that time, the Lunan area was occupied by the enemy, and the situation was complex and changeable. **and** have a pivotal position in the party, and they shoulder an extremely important mission.
After receiving the instructions from his superiors, Liu Jinshan lived up to expectations and successfully completed several escort tasks, winning the high trust and attention of his superiors.
With the end of the Sino-Japanese War, members of the guerrillas were gradually incorporated into the units of the local military district. Although it was reconstituted during the Civil War, it was eventually disbanded after completing its mission.
The railway guerrillas were incorporated into the Second Battalion of the Special Service Regiment of the Lunan Military Region, and Liu Jinshan served as the deputy commander of the Special Service Regiment and also served as the battalion commander of his former unit. This shows the trust and respect of the higher-level leaders for Liu Jinshan.
Subsequently, Liu Jinshan went south with the army and participated in the Huaihai River crossing and other battles, and performed well in the War of Liberation and made many military exploits.
In the 1955 national military rank evaluation, Liu Jinshan was awarded the rank of colonel for his outstanding performance. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Jinshan has always played an important role in leading positions, successively serving as deputy commander of the Nantong Military Subdivision and commander of the Suzhou Military Subdivision in Jiangsu Province.
It was not until 1981 that he retired to enjoy his old age, and died in a dry rest house in 1996 at the age of 81. It is worth mentioning that after Liu Jinshan's death, he was buried in the Railway Guerrilla Memorial Park in Zaozhuang City, Shandong.
He returned to the place where he had fought bloodily, and slept underground with his comrades who shared life and death. The general has fought a hundred battles, and the strong man has finally returned. A heroic man who serves the country with his life is the most perfect destination.
The Railway Guerrillas, once known as the "Flying Tigers", were small in number, but they were all experienced veterans of battles, so they were able to move freely behind enemy lines.
War is unforgiving, and any negligence can lead to irreparable consequences.
