In 1937, a Japanese puppet army broke into the village of Xiyou in Xingtai and burned the entire village alive. The parents and sister of a guerrilla were buried in the fire, his two brothers died heroically, and the hatred of the national enemy surged into his heart. The guerrillas led a soldier into the Japanese puppet army bunker, directly killed 19 Japanese troops, and blew up 8 aircraft.
The guerrilla was named Xiao Wanshi, a native of Xingtai, Hebei Province, and was born into a poor peasant family. Xiao Wanshi's father had not read the book, only that the Eighth Route Army was a soldier of his relatives and supported his sons to join the Eighth Route Army. With the support of his father, Xiao Wanshi and his two older brothers successively joined the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and fought on the anti-Japanese front.
Xiao Wanshi and his two brothers sometimes went home to visit their relatives, and their father would also tell them: "Son, fight the Japanese well and avenge the death of the villagers!" "This great father sent his third son to join the army and gave everything for the cause of resistance against Japan. In 1937, a traitor came to the Japanese army headquarters in Xingtai to report that the Eighth Route Army had been found in Xiyou Village.
The Japanese commander gathered his forces and slaughtered the village to the west, encircling the village. The ferocious Japanese army was inferior to the beasts, and began to burn and loot, and the houses in the village were also lit. Xiao Wanshi's parents and sister were all buried in the fire, and none of the villagers were spared, and all of them were burned alive by the Japanese army.
When Xiao Wanshi heard the bad news, he was devastated and wanted to find his two brothers and avenge his parents and sister. However, it is known from his superiors that one of his brothers has died to stop the Japanese army, and the other brother is also missing, and it is very likely that he has also died. Xiao Wanshi, with the hatred of the country and his family, officially joined the 772nd Regiment of the 386 brigade of the Eighth Route Army and fought on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War.
Once, Xiao Wanshi led a reconnaissance team and heard a burst of Japanese "bird language" coming from the river. It turned out that because the weather was too hot, the Japanese soldiers took off their clothes and jumped into the river to take a bath. Xiao Wanshi seized the opportunity to sneak away the clothes and guns on the shore of the Japanese army, and then took these guns and opened fire on the Japanese army.
The Japanese army was beaten and screamed, and in a moment it turned into a corpse, and the blood stained the river water. On another occasion, Shawwanshi led only one soldier on a disguised reconnaissance mission to a Japanese bunker near the Japanese airfield. Dressed in the clothes of a puppet army, Xiao Wanshi came to the gate of the bunker and shouted: "Imperial Army, the Xingtai Headquarters has sent news, please ask the squad leader to accept the order." ”
The sentry in front of the bunker gate was released, and The two of them swung into the bunker and found the Japanese drinking and eating meat. Xiao Wanshi pretended to smile and stepped forward, handed the "order" to a person who looked like a Japanese officer, approached, and immediately threw a grenade at the Japanese crowd.
The grenade killed and injured an enemy, and several Japanese soldiers were blown up with broken arms and legs, crawling on the ground with rolling belts, and screaming in pain. Xiao Wanshi immediately stepped forward, and one of them made up a shot, killing a total of 19 beasts. Xiao Wanshi took the captured explosive package, smashed 8 enemy planes, and when he turned to evacuate, the airport was already in a sea of fire.
After Xiao Wanshi returned to the team, he was praised by his superiors for his outstanding military achievements. From the anti-Japanese battlefield to the liberation battlefield, this ordinary soldier has been honored with many battle merits, with 10 first-class meritorious medals and 12 second-class meritorious medals, with a total of more than 50 medals.
In the 1960s, Xiao Wanshi transferred to local work and served as the station manager of The Lei Bo Grain Station, never mentioning his own merits. The children did not know that their father had been a gestapo, only that his father was a veteran.
Later, it was Xiao Wanshi's comrades-in-arms who came to find them, and the children learned about their father's glorious past from their uncles and uncles. In 2009, Xiao Wanshi died of illness in Liangshan Prefecture and walked through his legendary life. It is precisely because the old man killed too many Japanese troops that he was able to live a high life of 104 years.
