The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the greatest patriotic war in the history of the Chinese nation, was also the first national liberation war in which China won a comprehensive victory in modern times. The importance and far-reaching impact of this war should not only be remembered by our generation, but also become the historical memory of generations of Chinese.
In this Great Patriotic War, the people of Sichuan made great contributions. Although it is located in the rear and is not on the front line of the war, the people of Sichuan did not hesitate to send their son out of Sichuan to resist the Japanese, showing selfless patriotic feelings.
According to statistics, Sichuan Province ranks first in the country in terms of the amount and number of conscripts actually conscripted, and the total number of troops mobilized accounts for about one-fifth of the country, and one out of every five anti-Japanese soldiers comes from Sichuan.
During the entire period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Sichuan sent at least about 3.4 million troops, and about 640,000 Sichuan soldiers died bravely on the front line of resistance against Japan. The number of participants and the number of people in Sichuan Province ranked first in the country, so there was a reputation in the army at that time that "no Sichuan can not be an army".
This period of history is the best praise for the heroism and dedication of the Sichuan people, and is also a historical witness to the indomitable and stubborn resistance of the Chinese nation to aggression.
Let us remember this history, cherish peace, and strive for the prosperity and development of our country.
General Liu Xiang, the anti-Japanese love lord of Sichuan, went to the front line to command the battle, and finally died of illness and stayed"The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was unswerving, the Japanese invaders did not withdraw from the border for a day, and the Sichuan army vowed not to return to their hometowns for a day"Last words.
There are many anti-Japanese deeds of the Sichuan army, the most touching of which is that before Wang Jiantang left Sichuan, his father Wang Zhicheng gave him a face"Dead"Word flags. At the center of this flag is a huge"Dead"Words, written on both sides"I don't want you to be filial before me, but I want you to be loyal to the nation"with"The national crisis is at the head, and the Japanese are hideous.
The rise and fall of the country has a share. I wanted to serve, but I was too old. Fortunately, I have a son, and I consciously ask for help. Give a flag and carry it with you at all times. Wipe blood when wounded, and wrap up after death. Go forward bravely, don't forget your duty! "
Although the smoke of war is gone, but"Dead"The word flag can still arouse everyone's patriotic feelings, and it has witnessed the eternal patriotic spirit of the Chinese nation.
The old father doesn't want his son to be filial, but he wants his son to sacrifice his life for the country, this deep patriotic emotion makes people cry when they read it. Next, let's learn about the deeds and ending of the anti-Japanese hero Wang Jiantang.
Wang Jiantang, whose name is Jialin, was born in 1912 in Qushan Town, Beichuan County, Sichuan Province (called Qushanchang at that time, under the jurisdiction of An County). After his academic success in his youth, he has been working as a primary school teacher in his hometown of Qushan Town.
During this time, he also married and had a daughter. After the "July 7 Incident" in 1937, the sentiment of the people of the whole country to resist Japan and save the country was unprecedentedly high. Wang Jiantang, who was strong in blood and strength, hated the Japanese invasion of our rivers and mountains, and he often talked about current affairs with some young people in his hometown, filled with righteous indignation, and showed the attitude of "being humble and not daring to forget the country".
So, he invited a group of like-minded young friends to discuss serving the country and joining the army. Through the mobilization and propaganda among friends, more than 170 people were willing to follow Wang Jiantang to serve the country in the army.
Among these are students, young people, small traders and peddlers, as well as rural labourers. After some preparations, everyone elected Wang Jiantang as the leader, and named the team "Northwest Sichuan Youth Please Kill the Enemy Team".
Wang Jiantang applied to Anxian ** to go to the anti-Japanese war, and Cheng Yunzhang, the magistrate of Anxian County at that time, was moved by them, and immediately approved their request, placed them in the "Da'an Amusement Park" (now Anchang Park), and immediately reported to his superiors, and got in touch with the army to prepare to receive Wang Jiantang and others.
In the winter of 1937, all walks of life in Anxian County held a meeting to send off more than 170 people, including Wang Jiantang, to resist Japan in Sichuan at the "Da'an Amusement Park" at the entrance of the county park. At the end of the farewell party, Wang Jiantang's father, Wang Zhicheng, sent a package to his son.
The package contained a flag with the word "death" made of coarse cloth. After seeing this "death" flag, the county magistrate of Cheng Yunzhang was deeply moved and burst into tears. He tearfully awarded the "death" flag to Wang Jiantang.
Wang Zhecheng is a small businessman, but he is extremely decent, jealous and hateful, he is also one of the four famous Sichuan opera fans in northwest Sichuan, he likes to perform Sichuan opera in his spare time, and often plays Wen Tianxiang and Yue Fei in the play, these heroes who are loyal to the country, and are called "Uncle Scholar".
Therefore, Wang Zhecheng is a person with extremely high patriotic feelings. He learned that his son Wang Jiantang went out to Sichuan to resist the Japanese, although he was very reluctant to his son, but he hoped that his son could protect his family and defend the country and contribute to the survival of the country.
So in the end, he didn't come to see off his son, because he couldn't accept the life and death with his son. But he still asked someone to send this "death" flag to his son.
With three months of rigorous training, Wang Jiantang successfully joined the 2nd Field Supplementary Regiment of the 29th Group Army and served as a trainee platoon commander. In the early spring of 1938, he led his comrades-in-arms out of Sichuan and actively participated in the anti-Japanese battle.
During his military career, Wang Jiantang served as the captain of the death squad many times, and participated in important battles including the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Western Hubei, the Battle of Dahongshan, the Battle of Changde, and the Battle of Changsha.
Although he was wounded four times in battle, he always moved forward bravely, and even in one battle, despite being wounded in his right abdomen, he still took the lead in the charge despite the pain with all his might, dedicating his youth and blood to the country and the nation.
After the battle, Wang Jiantang was shocked to find a bullet hole in his lower right pocket, and when he felt a hole in his cotton coat, he quickly called for medical personnel to check it.
When the doctor unfastened his clothes, he found that the bullet had hit the mutilated silver dollar in his pocket, which had been impacted and embedded in the flesh of his right abdomen. If it weren't for the silver dollar to block the bullet for him, he could have been seriously injured or even killed.
Despite his injuries, Wang Jiantang did not flinch, he picked up the "death" flag given by his father and wiped the blood, and then after a simple bandage, he returned to the fight. In the midsummer of 1938, the 29th Group Army under Wang Jiantang wanted to occupy the Ma'anshan position.
When he led the company to set off towards the Ma'an Ridge, Wang Jiantang took the lead. When he climbed the ridge, three Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared from the other side, and they all stabbed Wang Jiantang with bayonets.
The comrade-in-arms who followed Wang Jiantang was a machine gunner, Fan Da from Shandong, who saw that Wang Jiantang was in danger, although he held the machine gun in his hand, but because Wang Jiantang was in front of him, he did not dare to shoot for fear of accidentally injuring Wang Jiantang.
In desperation, he used a move to sweep the hall's legs and kicked Wang Jiantang to the right with one kick. Wang Jiantang was immediately kicked by Fan and rolled down the hillside.
Wang Jiantang skillfully dodged the enemy's ** knife at the moment of life and death, and worked together with Fan Da to annihilate the Japanese army. Although he was seriously wounded, his comrades-in-arms bandaged his wounds with the word "death" to stop the bleeding, and was subsequently taken to the field hospital.
In the Battle of Changtao, Wang Jiantang was wounded again, but he led the company to completely annihilate the Japanese invaders, captured three motorboats, and obtained valuable information, and was awarded the Order of the First Class.
Dead"For Wang Jiantang, the word flag is not only a symbol of his battle, but also a symbol of his indomitable spirit. However, the flag was lost on the battlefield after many battles.
Although what modern posterity sees"Dead"The character flag is copied according to Wang Jiantang's memories, but its spirit still exists in people's hearts. Wang Jiantang was wounded for the fourth time in the battle of the night attack on Chaling, he led the death squad, climbed the city, and suddenly attacked the Japanese army defending the city.
Although the Japanese were caught off guard by the surprise attack and suffered most of the casualties, they immediately appealed to their superiors for help. Under the siege of the reinforced Japanese army and **, Wang Jiantang decided to retreat.
Although they failed to take Chaling County, the battle caused more than 100 Japanese puppet troops, and no one in Wang Jiantang's department was killed, only he and two soldiers were slightly injured.
Although the battle did not achieve the expected goal, we were deeply moved by Wang Jiantang's bravery and resourcefulness, as well as his respect and cherishment of life.
His spirit will always inspire us to move forward.
Wang Jiantang showed outstanding command skills and heroic and fearless spirit in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he served as a death squad for many times, participated in dozens of battles, and always insisted on confronting the Japanese army in the line of fire.
He was rewarded for his bravery by the Supreme Minister's Department, and he was awarded the Order of the First Class four times. Although he was wounded several times in battle, he always kept his oath and successfully completed the mission of "wiping blood when wounded".
After the victory of the Sino-Japanese War, he returned to Sichuan with his troops and later participated in the Chengdu Uprising in 1949. In 1950, he longed to return home and took the initiative to retire and return to his hometown Qushan.
However, when he returned to his hometown, he found that his family was ruined, and his parents, wife and daughter were left to know what happened because of his years of fighting. Although he loved his family deeply, he chose to continue to serve the army and serve his country.
His life was full of courage and sacrifice, and his story will forever be remembered in the pages of history.
The rest of Wang Jiantang's life was full of hardships and helplessness. He wanted to start over and live a new life with his wife and children, but because of his ** status, he suffered great discrimination in that era.
He was known as the remnant of the scum, and during the movement, he was always the target of criticism, and he could not even find a job, let alone start a new life. In order to survive, he did all kinds of hard work and barely survived.
Especially in that special decade, he endured all kinds of criticism. It was not until after the reform and opening up that his life gradually improved. In 1980, under the care of the state, he regained his reputation and was recognized as a social aid for the lonely and widowed elderly, and received the first relief.
In 1981, he was recognized as a hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and was specially appointed as a member of the Cultural and Historical Materials Committee of the Beichuan County CPPCC, which led to his retirement salary and relief.
Although he has basic old-age security, he is still childless and lonely in his later years, and can only barely live on a meager income. In 1992, he died in poverty at the age of 80.
How should future generations treat heroes? Wang Jiantang's experience is thought-provoking! Text: Wang Jiantang, a hero who resolutely stepped forward when the country was at stake.
However, in his later years, he suffered unfair treatment, and his miserable life was thought-provoking. This can't help but make us reflect on whether the attitude towards heroes is fair and reasonable?
Heroes are not fearless, they choose to be brave and strong, and give their blood and youth for the country. However, in times of peace, heroes may encounter injustice due to certain factors.
It's a wake-up call to our attitude towards heroes. We should learn to treat heroes well, so that they can have the courage to take responsibility and make selfless contributions when the country is in danger. Because, only by treating heroes well can more heroes emerge when the country is dying, and heroes must not be allowed to shed blood and tears.
Heroes are the backbone of our nation and the pride of our country. Let us learn a lesson from Wang Jiantang's experience, treat heroes with practical actions, respect heroes, and let the spirit of heroes always inspire us to move forward.
