They sacrificed to liberate Jinan's bleeding. Quancheng, never forget. On September 24th, the 74th anniversary of the victory of the Jinan Campaign, the city will hold a monumental ceremony for 49 unknown martyrs who have sacrificed in the battle of Jinan. The unknown heroes have since been "famous" and are remembered by Quancheng.

"Today, our happy life is the first to go and go back and replace it with life. We must know how to cherish it." 74 years later, the 88 -year -old veteran exhibition was courageous to think of the scene of the battle of Jinan. At that time, Zhan Xianyong, who was under the age of 14, was still a ambulanceman "small soldier" and saw many comrades -in -arms seriously sacrificed. "After the war is urgent, after the comrades -in -arms 'glorious', many burials on the spot, some will have a wooden sign at the grave tree, it is likely that after a rain, they will become 'unknown martyrs'. Everyone's memory, I am also pleased by these comrades. "

Zhan Xianyong respects the army

Tears: Recalling the sacrifice of comrades -in -arms

During the war, his father sacrificed and his elder brother was injured. Zhan Xianyong's mother asked him to join the army very early. "At that time, I was less than 14 years old, but my mother thought that fighting needed people. No matter how old is the size of a person, one more powerful." Recalling the picture when he joined the army 74 years ago, Zhan Xianyong still remembered. Because of a short head, the military hat can wrap the face and ears on the head. The lower jacket is straight until the calf, and the minimum shoes are still wearing large slippers.

"Because it is a 'little soldier', I ca n’t carry a gun, throwing a grenade, I can only carry a first -aid package to rescue the wounded. After 4 months of military rescue training, I started to serve as a rescue team on the battlefield." After the training, he would Followed the troops to participate in the Jinan Campaign. The 14 -year -old boy witnessed the cruelty of the war.

Zhan Xianyong's troops took the lead in attacking the mountains in the northern part of Jinan. In Zhan Xianyong's memory, the entire mountain is like a "steel fortress". "The mountains are all bunkers, the mountain is covered with a thorny wire, and the mines are placed under the net. The enemy shot with a machine gun in the bunker, and the crossfire net covered the mountains. When he lifted it up, he was already 'glorious', and we gave the sacrifice as "glory' at that time. I bandaged him and wrote the name and buried it on the spot." Thinking of the comrades -in -arms who sacrificed that year, the 88 -year -old veteran voice voice Holding, I couldn't help rubbing the corner of my eyes.

Shock: The ears are deaf, and the front line is also required

In the process of treating the wounded, Zhan Xianyong also deeply felt the strong will of the soldiers of the soldiers. After flattening the Mountain, Zhan Xianyong's troops crossed the Yellow River and took Jinan City. In the siege stage, he met a "special" wounded. "This wounded was covered with blood, and his clothes were all dirty, but he had lost consciousness. We couldn't find a place he was injured for a while." After reporting to the military doctor, Zhan Xianyong was scrupped his body and cleaned his clothes for the wounded.

"I took off the wounded clothes and wiped off the blood stain on his body. He found that he had no injuries. After pouring him some water, he suddenly woke up and watched his clothes take off. He sat up and asked us, ' Am I not fighting? Why did you come here? 'We explained to him, he couldn't hear, his ears were deaf, and he might be damaged by the cannon. "

When Zhan Xian wrote to tell the other party that he was injured, where he was uncomfortable, the other party said that he was not uncomfortable, but he was hungry. "We hurriedly took two steamed buns. This soldier was still wet clothes, and he returned to the front line with a steamed bun. I still remember his figure very clearly, tall and strong, in fact, only 20 years old." How about the warrior, Zhan Xian is unknown, but he is looking forward to this brave comrades who can go down the battlefield alive.

Graving: The name of "Retrieving" comrades -in -arms is remembered

As the ambulance members on the battlefield, Zhan Xianyong "sent away" many sacrifice comrades. When the dirt on their faces was wiped off, they often showed young faces. "Some comrades -in -arms 'Glory' was at most 16 or seven years old, which was not much older than I was at that time. If they could live to the present, they are also full of children and grandchildren, and enjoy the age of old age." Zhan Xianyong said with tears.

Zhan Xianyong recalled that his comrades were ready to sacrifice before the battlefield, and they often put the note with names, numbers, and hometown addresses in their clothes pockets. "When we bury your comrades, we will find a note from their pockets, write their names on the wooden board, and other information. Without them, people can't remember their names. Maybe many comrades have become 'unknown martyrs'. "

Today, 49 unknown martyrs who have successfully found their relatives have "retrieved" their names. The tombstone will always record their names and deeds for future generations to remember. As a former comrade -in -arms, Zhan Xian was so relieved. "I hope that more unknown martyrs can find their names and find their family members. They use blood and life to exchange our current happy life. We must remember them forever!"
