" Don't run away, the surrendered imperial army will not kill! " One evening in 1942, more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops were riding tall horses and walking along a large road toward a burly man with a The baby-faced Eighth Route Army soldiers chased after him. Judging from the appearance of this Eighth Route Army, he is no more than 18 years old at most, and his resolute face is still childish.
The Eighth Route Army's little soldier
was under the intense pursuit of the enemy, but the Eighth Route Army's little soldier was not in a hurry. Come after me!" His body flickered in front of him, gradually leading the enemy into a gloomy place.
These more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops still don't know who they have encountered, and they are still imagining capturing the prisoners and rewarding them for their merits. Little did they know, in just a few minutes, they would be beaten up and regret not staying home.
Japanese cavalry
This little soldier of the Eighth Route Army is named Song Shuanglai , he was born in a small village in Wuqiang County, Hebei Province. His parents are ordinary farmers, relying on hard work to maintain the family's life. In 1937, the Japanese came to Wuqiang County, and after occupying the county seat, they immediately began to scavenge the surrounding villages. The food and livestock of the common people were all looted by the invaders.
In Song Shuanglai's village, an old man tried to keep the last rations at home, and he argued with the Japanese army, but he was brutally shot and killed by the invaders. The villagers saw it in their eyes and hated them in their hearts, but they were unarmed and could not fight against the enemy armed to the teeth.
Wuqiang County
In such a miserable day, the folks have spent a year. In 1938, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army came to Wuqiang County, and the common people had their first days. The Eighth Route Army propaganda against Japan led the villagers to fight the local tyrants, divide the land, and punish the bullies. The Japanese army's vicious grain collection teams were often beaten to pieces by the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the common people is also unprecedentedly high. They have contributed money and efforts to buy food and clothing for the troops and support them in fighting the little devils. There are some young and strong young men who also joined the guerrillas and took up arms to fight the enemy directly.
Eighth Route Army guerrilla
Song Shuanglai's father is a very simple farmer. Although he has no culture, he has a patriotic heart. In order to help the villagers resist the Japanese invaders, he resolutely joined the guerrillas and became a glorious soldier of the Eighth Route Army. Unfortunately, he was killed by the enemy in an ambush shortly after he enlisted in the army. When the news of
reached the village, 14-year-old Song Shuanglai burst into tears. After taking care of his father's funeral, he found the captain of the Eighth Route Army guerrilla and offered to join the army to avenge his father.
Although Song Shuanglai had a firm attitude, he was still not old enough to join the army, so the guerrilla captain refused his request.
The Eighth Route Army soldier
saw that the other party did not agree, Song Shuanglai immediately became angry. He said that he was determined not to go home. If the troops did not accept him, he would stay here and not leave. The captain had no choice but to play "grinding" with him, put Song Shuanglai aside and ignore him at all. The captain knew that the young man couldn't sit still, as long as he was consumed, he could be consumed in the end.
Sure enough, in less than half a day, Song Shuanglai couldn't sit still. However, he didn't go home, but came to the captain again and said, " don't look at me as young or big, but I'm not afraid of death! If you don't accept me, I'll go to the little devil myself and work hard. Go! "
The words
, the little soldier of the Eighth Route Army, really shocked the guerrilla captain. Not to mention a 14-year-old child, he is an adult soldier of the Eighth Route Army. How many people have the ability to fight the Japanese one-on-one? Isn't this going to die? The captain could only say helplessly: " got it, I'm afraid of you, I'll accept you, okay? However, there are no soldiers of your age in the Eighth Route Army. If you have to do the Eighth Route, start as a correspondent; If not, thenyou go! "
Hearing that the captain was relieved, Song Shuanglai was elated, and even gave a military salute. From this day on, Song Shuanglai became a small correspondent of the Eighth Route Army. His usual task is to travel between the bases, while Passing news while on duty. Because he is young, he will not be allowed to participate in combat missions.
Eighth Route Army correspondent
However, Song Shuanglai is already an Eighth Route Army soldier after all. When the troops are short of manpower, he will also go to the battlefield Once he faced the invaders, he would burst out with a very powerful fighting force. Soon, he made several military exploits, which made Song Shuanglai win everyone's respect. Gradually, he became a hero. He is a qualified soldier of the Eighth Route Army and has his own guns.
In normal times, he did not slack off in the task of delivering letters on duty, and he did a very good job. No matter what kind of tasks the superiors gave him, Song Shuanglai could complete them brilliantly. .
In 1942, Song Shuanglai, who had been in the Eighth Route Army for two years, was still doing the daily work of sending letters. However, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War had undergone tremendous changes.
Eighth Route Army soldiers
Since 1941, the Japanese army had attacked the base areas abnormally. Violent. Because it was difficult to make progress on the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army began to focus a lot of energy on their own occupied areas. For a time, more than 100,000 Japanese troops came to in northern China, and began to launch a large-scale sweep of the anti-Japanese base areas. The situation became very serious.
Once, the Japanese army launched a large-scale sweep near Wuqiang County, cutting off the communication line. The guerrillas lost contact with their superiors, and the captain dispatched Song Shuanglai to deliver a letter to the county party committee. On the one hand Report safety, on the one hand, accept new combat missions.
Eighth Route Army guerrillas
At this time, the guerrillas are located in Lindong Village, and the county party committee is located in Shawa Village. The area is likely to encounter enemy patrols. Therefore, this mission is very dangerous, but Song Shuanglai is not afraid at all, he shouted: " promise to complete the mission! " and then set off with great strides. On the way to
, everything was calm. Song Shuanglai sent the letter to the county party leader as quickly as possible, and the leader wrote the latest instructions into the reply letter and handed it over to him. Back to the guerrilla station.
Song Shuang didn't have time to eat, so he took a rest and rushed back without stopping.
Stills of the Eighth Route Army Little Soldier Sitting on the side of the road to rest for a while. However, during this rest, he almost fell asleep.
Suddenly, he heard a crisp sound of horse hooves nearby, so he was awakened immediately. He opened his eyes and saw The road was billowing with smoke and dust, and more than a dozen Japanese cavalrymen had apparently spotted him and were running towards his position.
Song Shuanglai let out a bad cry, then turned around and got into the sorghum field next to him. , the enemy has found him, and these people chased and shouted: " Xiaobalu, don't hide, we have all seen you, come out quickly. "
The Japanese cavalry
heard the enemy's shouting, Song Shuanglai knew that he couldn't hide, so he spread his legs and flew in the field of sorghum .
The enemy didn't look flustered at all and thought he might The identity is unusual, so while chasing, he shouted: " Xiaobalu, don't run, or you will shoot! If you surrender, the imperial army will not kill! "
This is also the scene at the beginning of this article.
The enemy cavalry is running on the road, while Song Shuanglai is flying in the field. The two sides ran for a long time, but neither of them can do anything. Song Shuanglai knows that it is not the way to go on like this. So he took out his shell gun and shot two shots backwards. When the
shell gun
was running, the shell gun was not accurate, so these shots were all empty. This time, the Japanese army was even more arrogant, and they shouted loudly He wrote: " captured Xiao Balu alive and went back to claim the merit! " and then continued to pursue.
Song Shuanglai at this time, although in danger, was not afraid of danger. He ran and looked for favorable terrain.. Soon, he came to the periphery of a small village, and at the same time found a large cemetery here.
This time, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. He thought that there were many shelters in the cemetery, and it was a good place for ambush, and maybe there was a way to survive.
Graveyard
So he ran a few steps, came to the back of a new grave, concealed his figure, then raised his gun to aim, and fired a shot at the Japanese cavalry at the front. The shot did not hit the Japanese, but wounded his horse. The horse neighed and knocked the man off its back. The Japanese fell to the ground, screaming in pain. This shot of
makes the enemy dare not to despise it any longer. They jumped off their horses, looked around for cover, and then shot randomly into the cemetery.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and the enemy officer, relying on the crowd, began to order his men to surround the cemetery.
At this time, five puppet troops, under the persecution of the Japanese, tremblingly launched an attack on the cemetery. Song Shuanglai hid behind the grave, saw the opportunity, and pulled the trigger decisively. After two crisp gunshots, the two puppet soldiers fell to the ground.
Japanese puppet army
The remaining puppet army stopped immediately, they thought it was a sharpshooter who encountered the Eighth Route Army, so they were too scared to take a step forward. No matter how much the Japanese urged, they would not take a single step forward.
The Japanese officer was in a hurry, and while yelling, he directed the Japanese soldiers to attack. Song Shuanglai fired again. He had no missed shots, and knocked down several more enemies. One of them also wounded the Japanese officer.
This time, the Japanese did not dare to attack. And after the officer hangs the trophy, his cowardly nature is revealed. He yelled strangely for someone to come over to bandage him, and then he shot in the direction of the cemetery, and slowly retreated with his men. After two or three minutes, the group of enemies disappeared without a trace.
The Japanese army officer
For the sake of safety, Song Shuanglai hid for a while after the enemy retreated, and then slowly leaned out from behind the tomb. Seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly ran towards the direction of the guerrilla camp and ran. At this time, there are still two or three bullets in his gun chamber. If he does not retreat, if the enemy surrounds him again, it will be difficult for him to escape.
More than an hour later, Song Shuanglai came back to the Lindong Village station and handed the letter from his superior to the captain.
