0396 I dedicate this chapter to the indomitable prisoners of war

Your names are unknown, but your deeds live on. The mountains know you, the rivers know you

, the motherland will never forget you]

Wang Liang couldn't help but sigh: "The resistance to prisoners is a group that has been completely forgotten by history!" ”

"For this group, for a long time, we have taken a collective position of avoidance, concealment, dilution, cover-up and aphasia. The vast majority of them don't leave their names, and we don't even have an abstract number to count them. ”

In those seven years, how many unsung heroes fell under the butcher's knife of the Japanese invaders?

The heroes we know now, those who are familiar with each other, are just one in ten thousand, one in a hundred thousand, one in a million.

And how many are not even written down by name.

He was secretly arrested and killed by Japanese criminals and traitors.

The hero's family didn't even know that their loved ones were anti-war fighters.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the agents of the military command carried out countless assassinations of Japanese pseudo-dog thieves.

Many agents were arrested and brutally murdered by the Japanese.

In the 21st century, how can young people who remember even their parents' birthdays remember these heroes?

Was their sacrifice worth it?

Wang Liang couldn't find the answer, and he didn't know the answer.

When the country and the nation were facing extinction, they generously joined the army.

They went into battle and fought bravely against the Japanese army.

They had been captured by the enemy.

Most of them were brutally killed by the enemy.

They are our ancestors and martyrs, and they are strong men who defend their homes and defend the country.

They are Chinese soldiers who have suffered too much hardship, suffering and misunderstanding.

Wander through the corridors and gaze up at these captive faces.

Their performance was astounding.

The vast majority of these photographs were taken by Japanese military correspondents.

As ordinary Chinese at the time, this was probably the only photo in their lives.

Wang Liang, a person who survived that era, how could he not have mixed feelings?

Suddenly, Wang Liang saw Fei Hua again.

The girl that Wang Liang told netizens.

Photos that hit people's hearts.

A girl's smile.

Only the dim light hit the photo, but the light in her eyes was so bright, and the blurb on the side of the picture reads: "Fei Hua fought until the end of the battle while defending the gates of Anhui Province and the county seat, when she was only twenty years old." ”

Twenty years old, only twenty years old, what is she thinking when she laughs?

My heart couldn't help but be full of pity, and the youth of the trick met the cold bayonet steel gun.

Wang Liang's chest ached faintly.

There was also a teenager.

In the photo, the young man is dressed in a military uniform, and the person is not as tall as a gun, but he has the standard standing posture of a soldier.

He is the young soldier Ji Wanfang.

Ji Wanfang was captured in Zengcheng, Guangdong Province, in October 1938 at the age of 15.

Because of long-term malnutrition, Ji Wanfang in the photo looks only ten years old.

Wang Liang remembered that this photo was once published in Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun, this little soldier named Ji Wanfang was captured by the Japanese army, and the Japanese felt that it could be used to publicize China's reckless military situation, so they asked this little soldier to take a photo, and it was published in their publication.

As a result, this little soldier left us a precious historical photo for our descendants.

His expression was solemn and firm, his eyes were wide open, his body was draped with military equipment such as bullet belts, military horns, water bottles, enamel teacups, etc., a pair of shorts on his lower body, leggings, his legs were together, and a pair of bare feet at a forty-five degree angle, showing a standard upright military posture.

If you look closely, you will find that Ji Wanfang's right big toe is wrapped with a strap, which is obviously injured.

He was standing there alone, standing in a posture that stood up to the sky.

According to the nameplate on Ji Wanfang's chest, it is not difficult to interpret the number of the unit he is in, and he ordered the 1096th Regiment of the 54th Brigade of the 186th Division of the 64th Army of the Revolutionary Army.

Wang Liang said: "The 64th Army of the National Revolutionary Army was originally a Cantonese army, formerly known as the Eighth Route Army of the Guangdong Army, and the 64th Army was formed before and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. ”

"The 64th Army has experienced and grown up in the 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was once the firefighting team of the National Army in the East China Battlefield during the Second Kuomintang-Communist Civil War.

There are many, many photos in this corridor.

[At the beginning of 1932, the Japanese invaders concocted the 128 Incident in Shanghai, seizing the opportunity to divert international attention and facilitate the establishment of a puppet regime in the northeastern occupation zone and the establishment of the puppet "Manchukuo". The person in the picture is an anti-Japanese soldier who was arrested by the Japanese military police during the 128 Incident. Dressed in civilian clothes, blindfolded, and visibly bloodstained from the corners of his mouth and shirt, the man was apparently arrested after a struggle. 】

[The chief of staff of the 68th Division of the captured Chinese Army, his right hand was wounded in the battle, his distressed face and helpless hand holding paper cigarettes showed helplessness; But if he doesn't look up or look at the camera, he shows his fortitude and unyieldingness. 】

[The Japanese army marched along the Yangtze River to Nanjing, and the Liangjiao troops, who launched an offensive from the east, captured 14,777 Kuomintang soldiers on the mountains near the Birdcage Mountain and the Shogunate Mountain Fort. 】

[Four Chinese prisoners of war, sitting on the ground, standing behind them are five heavily armed Japanese soldiers, one of the prisoners of war plays the harmonica, and the other three comrades-in-arms are silent, their expressions are full of yearning for victory in the war, and the melodious singing is fluttering, in the 21st century, we have seen and heard the ...... in the peaceful and prosperous times]

When Fan Jianguo collected these photos, he could not determine the names of all of them, and some of them even found it difficult to determine the number of the troops.

The only thing that can be done is to interpret the content of the picture, and analyze the inner life of the characters through the environment, movements, demeanor and appearance.

Under the gaze of the heroes on both sides, Wang Liang and his entourage walked heavily through the 26-meter-long and three-meter-wide approach road and entered the main body of the museum.

It's a special space that's oppressive, twisted, and full of hard sharp angles.

The entire space is made of concrete poured directly, and there is no unnecessary decoration except for the display of exhibits.

Wang Liang can feel that the architect deliberately does not set the windows at the height of people's vision, and together with the gray zigzag space, the tall and heavy walls, and the iron fences that can be seen everywhere create a prison for the visitors as if the air is condensed.

Not only is it a prison for the body, but it also becomes a shackle for the spirit and the heart.

With the sound of stepping on the steel floor, walking past the Japanese steel helmets buried under the glass cover of the floor, a history that is unbearable to look back on but must face unfolds.

Wang Liang didn't want to stop in this extremely depressing place for a moment, and after walking out of the exhibition hall, he breathed a sigh of relief: "During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese soldiers were poorly equipped, and they knew that there was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and they knew that it would be difficult to return, and they knew that they might not leave any traces of their own time in this world, even if it was just a photo." However, the national revenge cannot be avenged; Family hatred, can't help but snow. He who does not do it cannot save the future. ”

【...... According to the "Complete Record of the Anti-Japanese War of the Nationalist Army", the number of Chinese prisoners of war is conservatively estimated at 3 million, and most of them were killed by the Japanese army or used as laborers. At the time of Japan's surrender, only forty-three remained as prisoners of war ......]
