In 1956, a movie was born, which caused tens of thousands of people to empty the alley as soon as it was released, setting a record for the box office of the film of that era, and this movie was "Railway Guerrilla".
And Liu Hong, the protagonist in the movie, with his simple appearance and heroic and fearless temperament, became a hero representative of that era.
It turns out that the story of "Railway Guerrillas" is not fiction, but is based on real events. The protagonist Liu Hong actually has a historical archetype, he is a combination of two legendary figures.
They are Hong Zhenhai and Liu Jinshan, and their surnames have been skillfully blended together to become the Liu Hong we know. Hong Zhenhai, a coal miner and the first captain of a railway guerrilla, is a legend in his story.
So, what is the real ending of Hong Zhenhai and Liu Jinshan? How did they influence the course of history? Let's find out the truth about this saga.
Hong Zhenhai was born in a poor family, his father was a carpenter, and his meager income was difficult to support the family. For the sake of food and clothing for his family, Hong Zhenhai became a coal miner when he was young.
At that time, the working conditions in coal mines were far from the norm today, and the work of coal miners was full of dangers, and their lives could be threatened at any time. Hong Zhenhai's workers often lose their lives due to mine collapses, lack of oxygen, and some even die from overwork.
The days when the mountains and rivers are broken and the country is ruined are imminent. In order to protect their hometown, the Chinese have thrown themselves into the wave of resistance against Japan. At the call of the organization, a militia was formed in the local area and used guerrilla tactics to fight against the Japanese invaders.
Hong Zhenhai, although illiterate, has a blazing patriotic flame burning in his chest. Hearing about the organization's recruitment, he decisively put down his work and became a member of the guerrillas.
There are two core tactics of guerrilla warfare, one is to disperse and attack the enemy to create a deterrent effect, and the other is to disrupt the Japanese army's military transportation. Since Hong Zhenhai grew up by the railroad tracks since he was a child, he often climbed and frolicked on the tracks and trains, so he has a natural advantage for the latter.
He performed well in the following activities and was recognized by everyone as the "Squad Leader". After being recognized, he worked harder, and achieved remarkable results in many operations, which made his team famous in the local area, and was awarded the title of "Railway Guerrilla".
Hong Zhenhai even took the initiative to sign up as a handyman in the Japanese barracks, in an attempt to penetrate the enemy's interior, and under the cover of "serving the Japanese army", he stole intelligence and sabotaged the Japanese army's spy network in the Zaozhuang area, which provided great help for the follow-up operation.
Although this made him famous, it also attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and eventually Hong Zhenhai and his team were discovered by the Japanese army on a winter night under the internal and external collusion of the Japanese army and the traitors within the team.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers launched an inhumane siege on this meritorious team, and the heroic Hong Zhenhai took the initiative to divert enemy fire in order to protect his teammates, but he was seriously wounded in the battle and finally died heroically.
Comrade Hong Zhenhai's heroic sacrifice made the whole team extremely sorry and made all our anti-Japanese comrades sad and indignant, but our anti-Japanese pace must not be stagnant because of this. The top priority was to rebuild the morale of the troops and continue to fight the enemy to the end.
Countless ancestors like Hong Zhenhai did not hesitate to give their lives for our happy life today. Their selfless dedication is still admired today. It is this spirit that has allowed the Chinese to survive in 5,000 years of history and straighten their backs even in the flames of war.
Although the ancestors of the new captain Liu Jinshan died under the enemy's butcher's knife, their spirit will always inspire us and let us advance to victory without hesitation.
Liu Jinshan, a new member of the railway guerrilla force, like Hong Zhenhai, is also an authentic Shandong native from a poor family. The early death of his parents gave him a taste of the warmth and coldness of the world at a young age.
In order to survive when he was young, he worked as a hard laborer in the landlord's house, and the repression of the old society made him develop a tenacious character, and he had a deep understanding of hardship and hard work and refusal to admit defeat. At the same time, he recognized that only under the leadership of the Communist Party could the Chinese be freed from poverty and oppression.
In the coming days, Liu Jinshan will show his talent and tenacity.
Liu Jinshan was looking for his teammates in the midst of the crisis, and accidentally discovered our party's railway guerrillas, which were well-known in the local area, and no one knew about them. Liu Jinshan decided to join the team and continue to fight against Japan.
His combat talent quickly emerged, and he soon made great achievements in many battles, which was highly appreciated by the captain Hong Zhenhai.
After the heroic sacrifice of Captain Hong Zhenhai, Liu Jinshan won everyone's recognition for his outstanding achievements in the past and became the second captain after Comrade Hong Zhenhai.
Since then, his performance has not disappointed, and he has led this destined team to continue to struggle on the journey of resistance against Japan. They skillfully make use of the complex terrain of the local mountains and forests to go out day and night, often bringing unexpected blows to the enemy.
Not only did it terrify the Japanese army, but they also captured a large amount of enemy supplies and sent them to the soldiers on the front line, so that they could be safeguarded in the harsh environment.
They inherited the intelligence experience of Comrade Hong Zhenhai and repeatedly sabotaged the plans of the Japanese army, so that their attempts to control Shandong failed. With the surrender of the Japanese army and the establishment of New China, the Chinese could stand up from the flames of war and move towards the light.
Liu Jinshan, the captain of the railway guerrillas, became a well-known hero, and after the war, he was awarded the rank of colonel, became the head of the 35th Regiment of the 307th Army, and continued to contribute to the development of the country.
Conclusion, whether it is Hong Zhenhai or Liu Jinshan, they are real heroes, and what supports them is their firm patriotism.
In that turbulent era, it was this indomitable spirit and this fearless strength that made them not afraid of the threat of guns and guns, not afraid of the harsh environment, and challenged the unknown darkness with the most primitive tools and the firmest faith.
Because they firmly believe that the end of darkness is light and brilliance, a new era of hope and self-esteem.
