Among all the anti-Japanese troops, the Northeast Anti-Japanese League had the worst living conditions, not only facing the encirclement and blockade of the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchu army, but also facing unbearable cold in winter.
In the 14-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in northeast China, many heroic figures emerged, such as Zhao Yiman, Ma Zhanshan, Zhao Shangzhi, Yang Jingyu, etc., who used their enthusiasm to bring some light to this fertile black land and made great sacrifices.
As the commander of the Anti-Japanese League, General Yang Jingyu and countless troops persisted until 1940, because of the betrayal of the traitors, they were surrounded by Japanese and puppet regiments, and finally only a few people broke out, Huang Shengfa was one of them.
Huang Shengfa was General Yang Jingyu's guard, and he followed him around until he ran out of ammunition and food before he was "driven away" by General Yang Jingyu and asked him to break through in a safe direction with three fighters.
Huang Shengfa successfully broke through, but the venerable general Yang Jingyu was sacrificed in the snowy field of Lin Hai. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Shengfa, who was recuperating in the Soviet Union, became the deputy commander of the Soviet Army and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant, which can be described as a legend of life.
1. Small anti-coalition fighters born in peasant families
In 1920, Huang Shengfa was born in a family of hunters in Xinbin County, Liaoning Province, whose ancestors made a living by hunting and paying tribute, and after the fall of the Manchu Qing, he changed to a farmer and rented a few acres of thin land from the landlord's family to make a living.
Huang's mother died shortly after her birth, and his father took his five older brothers and two older sisters to survive, dying of overwork when he was in elementary school.
Huang Shengfa, who had lost his father's shadow, had to withdraw from school and earn a living by working for the landlord's family to raise pigs.
After the September 18 incident, the life of the people in the northeast was even more difficult, often with the upper and lower meals, the young Huang Shengfa spent his childhood in poverty, and gradually grew into a hairy boy.
In 1932, General Yang Jingyu came to the northeast according to the instructions of our party and vigorously developed the anti-Japanese contingent.
Zhao Wenxi, who was quite famous in the pingdingshan and reedy areas, joined the ranks of General Yang Jingyu with dozens of brothers.
After two years of continuous expansion of the anti-Japanese contingent, General Yang Jingyu appointed Zhao Wenxi as the leader of the first brigade of the Huanxing Anti-Japanese Peasants' Self-Defense Force.
In 1935, 15-year-old Huang Shengfa joined the Huanxing Peasant Self-Defense Brigade, don't look at his young age, but he is particularly clever, coupled with the fierceness of the newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he is very popular with the captain Zhao Wenxi, so he left him around as a messenger.
In the next two years or so, Huang Shengfa was selected by many leaders because of his outstanding performance, and successively served as the commander of the Sui Regiment of the 1st Division of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese League, Liu Wanxi, the political commissar of the 3rd Division of the 1st Army, and Yang Junheng, chief of staff of the 3rd Division.
Later, Yang Junheng was transferred to the 1st Army as chief of staff, and Huang Changfa also followed him to the military headquarters
General Yang Jingyu had seen Huang Shengfa several times, thought this young man was very good, and had planned to transfer him to his side, but the time had not yet come, so he had to give up.
2. Become a guard for General Yang Jingyu
With the merger of the 1st and 2nd Armies of the Anti-Japanese League, General Yang Jingyu served as the commander-in-chief, and this time, he did not give up this opportunity and transferred Huang Shengfa to his side as a guard.
This year, Huang Shengfa was 17 years old, it was the time of great spirits, from entering the Peasants' Self-Defense Force at the age of 15 to becoming a guard of the commander-in-chief at the age of 17, Huang Shengfa can be described as a smooth step.
However, following the commander-in-chief like General Yang Jingyu did not have the opportunity to eat and drink spicy, on the contrary, because of the continuous battle against the Japanese Manchu army, it was full of many dangers.
However, Huang Shengfa was happy in it, because he felt something different here, that is, the love and care between comrades, everyone here is equal, there is no obvious distinction between superior and subordinate, eat chaff together, and face life and death together.
Beginning in 1938, the Japanese Kwantung Army joined forces with the puppet Manchu army to strengthen the siege of the Anti-League, and many outstanding Anti-Coalition fighters were sacrificed on the battlefield, and the base area of the Anti-League was seriously compressed.
Under these circumstances, General Yang Jingyu had to lead his team into the deep mountains and dense forests around Mengjiang, Jinchuan, and Linjiang to play hide-and-seek with the enemy and play the best guerrilla warfare.
Once, General Yang Jingyu led more than 500 people to be surrounded by enemy regiments, Huang Shengfa not only had to protect the safety of the chief, but also did his own old business, as a messenger soldier, repeatedly conveyed General Yang's orders to every soldier, ensuring the victorious end of this breakthrough battle.
Third, parting ways with the life and death of General Yang Jingyu
In the winter of 1939, the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Coalition suffered heavy losses after more than a year of anti-encirclement war, tens of thousands of soldiers died between the white mountains and black waters, and many people with weak will defected to the enemy and became shameful traitors.
Due to the betrayal of the traitors, the whereabouts of General Yang Jingyu and his party were discovered by the enemy, and a large number of Japanese puppet troops, led by traitors, have been trailing behind General Yang Jingyu, and after dozens of battles, they still cannot jump out of the encirclement.
By February 1940, General Yang Jingyu was left with only Huang Shengfa and three warriors, several of whom were in a state of extreme hunger and tension after continuous fighting.
General Yang Jingyu looked at the four young people and knew how he could not escape this time, he knew that the ultimate goal of the enemy was himself, as long as these four young people left him, they would be able to get rid of the enemy's pursuit and find a way to live in the jungle.
On the occasion of parting, Yang Jingyu told the four people: "For the sake of the revolution, you must persist to the end, even if you die, you cannot yield to the enemy." Be firm, resourceful, and find ways to complete the task, and the final victory must belong to us. ”
The four listened to the commander-in-chief's words and broke through the night with tears in their eyes, and soon after, General Yang Jingyu was killed.
After Huang Shengfa broke through, he quickly found the organization and continued to serve as a guard for the deputy commander Wei Zhengmin, but by this time he was already scarred.
In desperation, the Anti-Japanese League had to send him to the Soviet Union to recuperate, and during the recuperation period, Deputy Commander Wei Zhengmin was also killed on the battlefield.
From Zhao Wenxi to Political Commissar Liu Wanxi, Chief of Staff Yang Junheng, Commander-in-Chief Yang Jingyu, and Deputy Commander Wei Zhengmin, several chiefs that Huang Shengfa followed all died on the anti-Japanese battlefield, which shows how arduous the Northeast War of Resistance was at that time and how difficult it was to persist.
4. Become deputy commander of the Soviet Army and award the rank of second lieutenant
During his recuperation in the Soviet Union, Huang Shengfa quickly learned Russian, which has to show that his language talent is really strong.
Because in addition to Russian, Hwang Sang-fa also spoke Korean, which made him a rare talent in the eyes of the Soviet army, and he was assigned to be a squad leader in the North Korean troops led by Kim Il Sung.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Shengfa accepted the appointment of the Soviet Army as the deputy commander of the Soviet Army in Jiaohe, Jilin Province, and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant.
Although the rank and position are not very matched, being recognized by the Soviet army shows that Huang Shengfa is indeed very capable.
After the liberation of the northeast, Huang Shengfa returned to the People's Liberation Army from the Soviet Army and became a leader of the bandit brigade, relying on the advantage of being born and raised, Huang Shengfa repeatedly made great contributions to the stability of the northeast rear.
After liberation, Huang Shengfa retired from the army and became a public security officer at the local level, continuing his historical responsibility of defending the people.
At 2:40 p.m. on December 24, 1993, Huang Shengfa died of illness in Changchun at the age of 74, ending his magnificent life, and his deeds will inspire every Chinese son and daughter who is striving to be strong.
