Anti-Japanese War veterans: I fought with a bayonet at the Lugou Bridge, can I be buried there when I die? I'm going to find the old battalion commander
Introduction: In 2009, Wang Dexiu, a 95-year-old anti-Japanese veteran, passed away in Anyang. Before dying, he looked for the leaders of the Beijing Military Region in the hospital, and after the superiors learned of Wang Dexiu's true identity, they hurriedly sent people to comfort him. Who knows, Wang Dexiu did not have any requirements, he simply asked a sentence: "I fought with a bayonet at the Lugou Bridge, can I be buried where I die?" I want to find the old camp commander" Everyone in the hospital heard these words, and everyone was touched and worshipped Wang Dexiu from the bottom of their hearts.
In 1936, Wang Dexiu, who had just turned twenty, joined the army. He was subsequently assigned to general Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army. Although Wang Dexiu was only a recruit, he performed very well, and he often came out on top in daily training, making him particularly powerful with a large knife in one hand. A year later, the Qiqi Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and Wang Dexiu's big knife team immediately went to the battlefield. At this point, the Japanese army began to entangle with us, and the two sides met with white blades.
The Japanese were menacing, and they loaded their bayonets with guns and pounced on Wang Dexiu fiercely. Wang Dexiu was not in a hurry, he picked up a large knife and calmly responded, his sword skills were exquisite, and he was supported by his comrades-in-arms, and he quickly killed many devils. Who knows, the Japanese saw that the bayonet could not take advantage, and some Japanese officers directly opened fire. The battalion commander Duan Rong was hit by the enemy in the process of fighting with a young zuo. Wang Dexiu saw that the battalion commander had fallen in a pool of blood, and he roared and rushed forward, he raised his large knife high, and the knife resulted in the young man.
Wang Dexiu and the battalion commander have a good relationship, the two are comrades-in-arms who are as close as brothers in ordinary days, and the battalion commander is even more kind to Wang Dexiu. After the battalion commander was shot, he did not have much breath left, and finally fell into Wang Dexiu's arms with a smile. Wang Dexiu was extremely sad and indignant, and he stood up and fought with the enemy again. He kept swinging his large knife, not knowing how many enemies he had killed, only remembering that the blades were bent. Later, the Japanese army once again sent reinforcements, the 29th Army generals were difficult to resist, and Wang Dexiu was also taken back by his comrades-in-arms. After this war, the all-out War of Resistance officially began. The Japanese army occupied north China, and Wang Dexiu never had the opportunity to go back to see the battalion commander. Therefore, Wang Dexiu hoped that after his death, he could be buried next to the Lugou Bridge, so that he could also meet with the old camp commander Duan Rong.
Conclusion: Although the story of Wang Dexiu and the battalion commander is very touching, the Lugou Bridge is already a well-known scenic spot, and his wish has not been realized in the end. However, after Wang Dexiu's death, his family often visited Lugou Bridge with his ashes. The soldiers near the Lugou Bridge were greeted with great solemnity, and in the twilight, the Lugou Bridge was illuminated by the sunset incomparably brilliantly. I believe that Wang Dexiu and the battalion commander know that they must be very happy to see the prosperity of China today.
