[Edit this paragraph] A touching story
Yixian county, Hebei province, with overlapping mountains, is magnificent. Two thousand years ago, Dan, the prince of Yan, bid farewell to Jing Ke, a strong man who stabbed the king of Qin. Two thousand years later, five Eighth Route Army soldiers wrote more brilliant poems with their own blood and lives in this place where the remains of strong men were engraved.
194 1 autumn, the Japanese aggressors concentrated their forces and attacked our Shanxi-Chaji base area on a large scale. At that time, the Seventh Company was ordered to persist in guerrilla warfare in the Langya Mountain area. After more than a month of heroic fighting, the Seventh Company decided to move to the Longwang Temple, and handed over the task of protecting the masses and transferring the company to Class Six.
In order to stall the enemy, five soldiers from Class 6, Company 7 beat up the chasing enemy and led a large number of enemies to Langya Mountain in a planned way. They used the dangerous terrain to defeat the enemy who rushed up again and again. Ma Baoyu, the squad leader, calmly commanded the battle and let the enemy approach before giving the order to fight for the first world war. Ge Zhenlin, the vice monitor, shouted at the top of his lungs as soon as he shot, as if the tiny muzzle could not finish spraying his anger. Song Xueyi, a soldier, always puts his arms in a circle to exert all his strength. Hu Delin and Hu Fucai, the two little soldiers, were sullen and absorbed in aiming at the enemy. The enemy can never move forward. On the rugged mountain road, there are many enemy bodies lying.
Five soldiers successfully completed the cover task and prepared for action. There are two roads ahead; A direction leading to the transfer of the main force, this road can quickly catch up with the company, but the enemy is closely behind; The other is Qipaituo, the peak leading to Langya Mountain, where there are cliffs on three sides. Which way to go? In order to prevent the enemy from discovering the masses and the main force of the company, the squad leader Ma Baoyu said categorically: "Go!" Take the lead to the chessboard tuo. The soldiers were covered in blood and followed closely behind the monitor. They knew that the monitor would lead the enemy to the wall.
Five brave men climbed to the top of the mountain, and at the same time, they shot at the enemy who relied on trees and rocks. Many enemy bodies were left on the mountain road. At the top of Langya Mountain, five strong men commanded and continued to shoot at the enemy closely behind them. Many enemies fell into the mountain stream and were smashed to pieces. Ma Baoyu, the monitor, was injured and all the bullets were fired. Only Hu Fucai had a grenade left in his hand. Just as he was about to unscrew the lid, Ma Baoyu stepped forward, grabbed a Grenade and stuck it around his waist. He suddenly raised a stone the size of a millstone and shouted, "Comrades! Stone it! " Suddenly, like hail, the stone was hurled at the enemy's head with the determination of the five strong men and the hatred of the people of China. There was a loud noise on the hillside and the enemy rolled down the ravine.
Another group of enemies pounced on us. Ma Baoyu whooshed out a Grenade, unscrewed the lid and threw it at the enemy with all his strength. With a loud noise, grenades blossomed among the enemy.
Five strong men stood on the top of Langya Mountain, watching the direction in which the masses and the main army left. They looked back at the enemy who was still climbing, and their faces showed the joy of victory. Monitor Ma Baoyu said excitedly: "Comrades, our task has been successfully completed!" With that, he smashed the gun he had taken from the enemy and walked to the edge of the cliff. Like every charge, he was the first to jump off the canyon. The soldiers also jumped off the cliff with their heads held high. Their heroic slogan resounded through Langya Mountain:
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
"Long live the China * * * production party!"
This is the unyielding voice of the heroic people of China! This sound is earth-shattering and magnificent.
[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to Langya Mountain
Langya Mountain is famous for the Five Warriors of the Eighth Route Army who fought against the Japanese invaders. In fact, Langya Mountain is also a famous mountain with great risks and beautiful scenery. As early as the Warring States period more than 2,000 years ago, the "Langshan Competition Show" was one of the ten scenic spots in Yan State at that time. From a distance, you can see a group of white buildings, a five-corner, five-story memorial tower for the three martyrs of Langya Mountain, two pentagonal pavilions, a stone archway and a circle of walls on a hill in the mountain. Today, it is not only a provincial patriotism education base, but also a provincial forest park. As a tourist attraction, it has high taste.
Langya Mountain is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain in the west of Yixian County, 45 kilometers away from the county seat. It is named after its strange peaks, towering and steep, and shaped like spikes.
Langya Mountain consists of five tuo and thirty-six peaks. The petal elevation of the main peak lotus is1105m. The cliffs on the west and north are steep, and the east and south are slightly lower. There is a narrow path leading to the main peak. Climbing high and overlooking, you can see that thousands of peaks are like waves in the sea, ups and downs. Near the west side, the stone forest is tall and natural, and the lotus peaks, large and small, are in full bloom proudly, and the mist in the gorge is shrouded in mystery.
Langya Mountain has beautiful scenery, pines and cypresses, waterfalls and flowing springs. There are abundant animal and plant resources here, including antelope, silky fowl and golden pheasant. There are as many as 200 to 300 northern tree species, such as pine, cypress, birch and maple. If you embark on a sightseeing tour, you can enjoy a wonderful forest bath. When the golden wind is cool in autumn, the red leaves are in full bloom and the forest is dyed. Looking around, the mountains are scarlet, which can be compared with the red leaves of Xiangshan. The author of this text is Shen Zhong.
The five brave men who survived Langya Mountain at that time, including Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi (now two are dead).
Ma Baoyu, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai were awarded the title of "honorary model". Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were awarded a writ and were awarded the medal of "Courage and Tenacity".
During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, five Eighth Route Army heroes who fought bravely against the Japanese puppet troops in the Battle of Langyashan in Yixian County, Hebei Province wrote a magnificent poem with their lives and blood. They are the squad leaders and vice squad leaders of Class 6, Company 7 of the Eighth Route Army Jinchaji Military Region 1 Regiment 1 Military Division, Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenlin, party member, Song Xueyi, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai. 194 1 In August, 2000, the North China Army of the Japanese invaders mobilized more than 70,000 troops and carried out a devastating "sweeping" of Beiyue and Pingxi base areas belonging to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region. On September 25th, about 3,500 Japanese puppet troops besieged the Langya Mountain area in the southwest of Yixian County in an attempt to annihilate the Eighth Route Army and local party and government organs. Company 7 of a certain unit of Jinchaji Military Region 1 Military Division was ordered to cover the transfer of party and government organs, troops and the masses. After the evacuation, five soldiers, including Ma Baoyu of Class 6, were left as guards to prevent and cover the transfer of the whole company. They were firm and calm, took advantage of favorable terrain, fought back bravely, and repelled many attacks by the Japanese puppet troops, killing more than 90 people. The next day, in order not to let the Japanese puppet troops find out that the company was changing direction, they fought and retreated, leading the Japanese puppet troops to the top of Qipaituo Mountain in Langya Mountain. The Japanese puppet troops mistakenly thought that they had bitten the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so they launched a storm. The five soldiers fought bravely in the face of danger. When the bullets ran out, they fought back with stones and fought until sunset. Facing the Japanese puppet troops approaching step by step, they would rather die than surrender, destroy their guns and jump off a cliff dozens of feet deep without hesitation. Ma Baoyu, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai died heroically; Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were caught by branches on the mountainside and survived. The feats of five soldiers, including Ma Baoyu, showed lofty patriotism, revolutionary heroism and unyielding national integrity, and were praised by the people as "the five strong men of Langya Mountain". The leading organs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region awarded three martyrs the title of "honorary model" and approved Hu Delin and Hu Fucai to join the Party. Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were awarded a writ and were awarded the medal of "Courage and Tenacity". Song Xueyi gloriously joined the China Producers' Party. In order to commemorate and commend the five anti-Japanese heroes, the local revolutionary government built the "Three Martyrs Monument of Langya Mountain" at the top of Qipaituo Mountain. /kloc-rebuilt in May, 1959, renamed as "Five Warriors Memorial Tower of Langya Mountain". Nie Rongzhen wrote an inscription for the memorial tower: "Revolutionary soldiers should have spirit and would rather die than surrender is the glorious tradition of Zhao Yan heroes". After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Song Xueyi moved to work in a local area, and 1978 died. Ge Zhenlin (1981) left his post in July to recuperate. When he retired, he was the former deputy director of the logistics department of Hengyang Military Division of Hunan Military Region, and died in March 2005.

War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression
1937-1945 China's national revolutionary war against Japanese imperialist aggression. 1On July 7, 937, the Japanese provoked the Lugouqiao Incident and launched a war of aggression against China, and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out. Before that, Japanese imperialism had occupied three northeastern provinces in China. Until1August, 945, when the Japanese were defeated and surrendered, the people of China made an arduous War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. China's anti-Japanese battlefield was also the main battlefield of anti-fascism in the East in World War II.
July 1937 to June 1938 is the strategic defense stage of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The second cooperation between Kuomintang and * * * production party. The Kuomintang army fought the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield, lost a large area of territory in North China and Central China, and the National Government moved its capital to Chongqing. China's * * * Producer Party commanded the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to go deep behind enemy lines, carry out guerrilla warfare extensively, and open up battlefields behind enemy lines.
1938+00 After the fall of Wuhan and Guangzhou in June, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered the stage of strategic stalemate. Lured by the Japanese government, Wang Jingwei, the head of the pro-Japanese faction of the National Government, publicly surrendered to the Japanese invaders. 1940 in March, the puppet national government was established in Nanjing, which corrected a handful of national scum and became traitors openly. At the same time, the Kuomintang's anti-* * tendency is also growing. The Japanese aggressor troops concentrated most of their troops and almost all the puppet troops, and carried out a cruel "mopping-up" of the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines led by the Producers' Party of China. Behind enemy lines has gradually become the main battlefield of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army fought against most Japanese aggressors and almost all puppet troops.
From 1944 to 65438+ 10 to 1945, it was the stage of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's strategic counterattack. During this period, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, under the leadership of the * * * Production Party, turned to local counterattacks and won successive victories. 1In August, 945, the US military declared war on Japan in the Pacific battlefield. 1On August 8th, 945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and sent troops to the northeast of China. /kloc-in August of 0/5, the Japanese government was forced to declare its unconditional surrender. On September 2, the Japanese representative signed the surrender, and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression came to an end.
During the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, China's anti-Japanese army and civilians wiped out more than 65,438 Japanese troops+300,000 people, and the puppet troops+65,438 people+800,000 people, thus winning a great victory in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. However, the people of China have also made great national sacrifices. According to incomplete statistics, China suffered 2 1 10,000 casualties.
Langya Mountain is located in the southwest of Yixian County, Hebei Province. Langya Mountain is the east gate of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region, named after its sharp peaks, with 5 tuo and 36 peaks. From a distance, the peaks are abrupt and continuous, and the walls are like knives and axes. It not only occupies an important position in the military, but also is the arsenal of weapons and equipment in the anti-Japanese base areas.
194 1 On September 25th, the Japanese army assembled 3,000 or 4,000 troops and invaded the Langya Mountain area in our Shanxi-Chaji base area. At that time, many of our cadres, 30,000 to 40,000 people, were hiding in this area. Because our main force has penetrated behind enemy lines, there is only one company of the Eighth Route Army defending Langya Mountain, that is, the Seventh Company of the Jinchaji Military Region. After more than a month of heroic fighting, the Seventh Company dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. However, due to the disparity between the enemy and the enemy, it was decided to transfer the main force of the company and the cadres and the masses to the Longwang Temple, under the cover of Class 6 of the company.
Five soldiers from Class Six, namely, monitor Ma Baoyu, vice monitor Ge Zhenlin, and soldiers Hu Delin, Hu Fucai and Song Xueyi, fought and withdrew to cover the transfer of the company and the masses and lead the enemy to the edge of the cliff on the chessboard mound of Langya Mountain. They fought fiercely with the enemy, repelled the enemy's five charges and killed more than 50 enemies. When the grenades and bullets were used up, they would rather die than surrender and jump off the bottomless cliff behind them.
After the five strong men jumped off the cliff, Ma Baoyu, Hu Fucai and Hu Delin died heroically, while Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were caught by a cross-country tree on the mountainside and were injured but not sacrificed. After waking up, they climbed the hillside despite the severe pain and returned to the company with the help of the masses.
Ge Zhenlin, a famous anti-Japanese hero and one of the five strong men of Langyashan, died at 23: 00 on March 2, 2005, at the age of 88.
The five strong men of Langyashan show the lofty revolutionary spirit of revolutionary fighters under the leadership of China's * * * production party and the invincible heroism of the Chinese nation.

Song Xueyi (1918-1971year), a native of Beikong Village, Wangqu Township, Qinyang City, Henan Province, is one of the famous "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" at home and abroad. Yi Xue was born in poverty. My grandfather and father do long-term jobs for landlords all the year round, and my brother runs Laoshan (Taihang Mountain) for a living. Yi Xue worked as a child laborer since childhood, and worked hard to open a noodle restaurant in the county town. The whole family was unable to make a living. To 1937, * * * owed 40 yuan (silver dollar) usury, and the landlord took the opportunity to take away the family's only two acres of life-saving land. Since then, the life of the family has become more uncertain. Yi Xue had to leave his hometown and look for food everywhere. 1in the summer of 939, when begging in Wuwangshan, Jiyuan, I came across the anti-Japanese guerrillas and joined the Seventh Company of the Eighth Route Army, which was incorporated into the First Division of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.
After Yi Xue joined the army, his father led his family to escape from the desert, and his brother was crushed to death in Datong Coal Mine. His aunt and cousin died under the Japanese bayonet one after another, and his sister was sold to Xiang Yang Village in this county and Xuzhou in Jiangsu. Soon, my father died of poverty and illness.
194 1 autumn, the Japanese North China Command concentrated its forces and carried out an unprecedented "mopping up" of the anti-Japanese base areas in Chaji. On September 25th, more than 3,500 enemies stationed in Jiean, Longmenzhuang, Beiloushan and Yingtou around Langya Mountain, under the cover of planes and artillery, attacked Langya Mountain in nine ways. On the same day, the Eighth Route Army stationed in Langya Mountain, after repelling the enemy's 10 attack several times in a row, decided to leave Song Xueyi's seven companies, six rows and two classes to cover the main force and mass transfer. He and monitor Ma Baoyu, vice monitor Ge Zhenlin, soldiers Hu Fucai, Hu Delin stick to Dongshan Pass. Relying on the dangerous terrain, they fought decisively with the enemy. That night, Song Xueyi and four comrades-in-arms entered the position, tied grenades into bundles, buried them in various places on the mountainside with bullets instead of thunder, and then concealed them in five ways, killing more than 3,000 enemies tightly. The enemy became angry from embarrassment and bombarded Langya Mountain with artillery. Five soldiers, including Song Xueyi, went into hiding under the enemy's gunfire. As soon as the gunfire passed, they attacked the enemy with bullets and grenades. In this way, while fighting, we retreated to the top of the mountain and pinned the Japanese army on Langya Mountain. When Song Xueyi and his comrades retreated to the top of the three cliffs of Langya Mountain, the enemy charged up again and again. The five strong men used bullets and grenades first, and then stones to repel the enemy's attack 10 times, successfully completing the glorious task of containing the enemy. * * * party member Ma Baoyu introduced Song Xueyi and others to join China * * * Firewire Production Party. Finally, in the case of running out of ammunition and food, five soldiers, including Song Xueyi, threw the last grenade, smashed guns and jumped off the cliff. Subsequently, the squad leaders Ma Baoyu, Hu Fucai and Hu Delin died heroically, Song Xueyi and Ge Zhenlin tripped over the trees halfway up the mountain, and Yi Xue was seriously injured in the waist. The next day, he was taken back to the army and sent to the field army hospital for treatment. The Jinchaji Military Region held a celebration. On behalf of Nie Rongzhen, commander of the military region, Yang Chengwu hung the five-star medal of "Resolutely Tenacity" issued by the military region on the chests of Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi respectively.

(1920-1941) was born in Yuxian County, Hebei Province. My parents died when I was a child, and I lived as a vagabond. 1937 10, participated in the seventh company and sixth class of the second battalion of the first division of the eighth route army. 1September, 938, he killed the enemy heroically in the battle to stop the Japanese attack and was praised by his superiors. 1939 joined the China * * * production party and served as class 6 monitor. 194 1 In August, the Japanese army in North China carried out an unprecedented "sweeping" of the anti-Japanese base area in Beiyue District. On September 24, more than 3,000 Japanese troops attacked Langya Mountain under the cover of planes and artillery in an attempt to annihilate the leading organs and main forces of the First Division of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei in one fell swoop. That night, the leading organs of the first division and the main force of the first regiment moved outward, leaving only seven companies, two classes and six classes to contain the enemy of Langya Mountain. At dawn on the 25th, when the enemy stormed Langya Mountain, they led the second and sixth classes of soldiers to repel the enemy four times in a row. By noon, after most of the soldiers in Class 2 and Class 6 were ordered to evacuate, in order to ensure the safe transfer of the main force, they, together with the vice squad leaders Ge Zhenlin, Hu Delin, Hu Fucai and Song Xueyi, shot and led the enemy to the top of Qipaituo Mountain in Langya Mountain, using favorable terrain to violently fight back the enemy's continuous charge. To hit out, only grenades. Then throw stones at the enemy. When the enemy approaches, throw the last Grenade into the enemy group. Then, the rate of four people walked to the edge of the cliff, threw the gun down the cliff, and wrote a letter of introduction with Ge Zhenlin, introducing three soldiers to join the China * * * production party. At this point, the enemy has climbed to the top of the cliff. That is, the four men arranged the military caps and armbands, and the first one jumped into the abyss and died heroically. He is 2 1 year old. Ge and three soldiers jumped out of the car. The enemy was stunned by this feat. Hu Delin and Hu Fucai also died heroically after jumping off a building. Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were caught by branches on the cliff and returned to the army the next day. After the meeting, the First Division of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei held a celebration and commendation meeting. The heroic deeds of "The Five Heroes of Langya Mountain". On behalf of the Party Committee of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region and Commander Nie, Yang Chengwu read out the commendation order. 1942 65438+ 10, in October, the border administration built a memorial tower for the Five Warriors of Langya Mountain at the top of Qipaituo Mountain. The tower was destroyed by the Japanese in 1943. 1958 reconstruction, still exists today.
The people of Yixian moved Ma Baoyu, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai to Beiloushan Martyrs Cemetery in Yixian County (Hebei Province), and built a memorial tower for the Five Warriors of Langya Mountain at the top of Qipaituo Mountain. —— Excerpted from Yi County Records of Hebei Province, p. 1 122.
Ma Baoyu (1920- 194 1), a native of Xiayuanzao Village, Yuxian County, joined the Eighth Route Army in 1937 and joined the Party two years later. 194 1 In September, in order to cover the main force of Langya Mountain in Yixian County and the safe transfer of the people, he led four soldiers in his class to bravely kill the enemy, skillfully dealt with thousands of Japanese troops all day, led the enemy to a dead end, successfully completed the task of blocking and covering, and resolutely jumped off the cliff at the age of 2/kloc-0.
Ma Baoyu was born in a poor peasant family. The July 7th Incident broke out a comprehensive War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. 1 15 years1On October 26th, the Yang Chengwu Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army won a great victory in Pingxingguan and recovered the whole territory of Yuxian in the north. Ma Baoyu and more than 4,000 youths from Xiheying Town joined the revolutionary army and became a glorious Eighth Route Army soldier.
1939, gloriously joined the party and soon became the monitor. Since then, he has been more strict with himself, his class consciousness has been continuously improved, and his revolutionary fighting spirit has become more vigorous.
194 1 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered the most difficult period. In August, in retaliation for the Hundred Regiments War, Okamura Ningji, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Northern China Adherents Army, mobilized 65,438+10,000 troops to launch a large-scale "sweeping" against our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area. At the beginning of September, 3,000 of its vanguard troops circled around the occupied Langya Mountain in an attempt to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army for a decisive battle. Because the enemy is strong and we are weak, the superior decided that our main force would lead the masses to evacuate Langya Mountain and move to a safe zone outside the line. After several battles, after the Seventh Company completed the organization transfer task, most of them evacuated, leaving only six classes to guard Langya Mountain. Chief's order is "before noon the next day, the enemy is not allowed to cross the chessboard tuo. At that time, there were only five people left in Class Six, including monitor Ma Baoyu, vice monitor Ge Zhenlin and soldiers Hu Delin, Hu Fucai and Song Xueyi. After accepting the task, they rushed to Dongshankou and chose a dangerous place called "Little Face" to prepare to stop the enemy.
At dawn, the enemy began to attack, and Ma Baoyu calmly responded. When the enemy came very close, everyone shot together, grenades flew into the enemy group in succession, and the enemy fell in batches. At that time, they couldn't figure out how many Eighth Route Army were on the mountain. They thought it was the main force and ordered the shelling. The sun has set in the west, and the large forces have moved as planned. Ma Baoyu ordered "retreat!" Not far away, I found a fork in the road ahead: going north is the direction of the main force and the masses, and I can return to the team soon, but the enemy will definitely catch up after me, which will undoubtedly make all previous efforts come to naught and put the main force and the masses in danger; Going south, leading to Qipaituo is a dead end. At this time, Baoyu did not hesitate and decisively ordered: "Go south!" The five brave men are United, preferring to sacrifice themselves and ensuring the safety of the main force and the masses.
The five warriors retreated while fighting, deliberately exposing their actions to the enemy. The enemy thought that our main force was on the mountain and clung to it. Taking advantage of the danger, the Five Warriors repelled the enemy's repeated attacks. When the bullets and grenades were used up, they were thrown stones. In the end, even the stones that can be moved were moved. Facing the swarming enemies, Ma Baoyu solemnly said to the soldiers: "Comrades, we are all China people with backbone, and we would rather die than surrender! It is glorious to sacrifice for the motherland and the people! " The five warriors broke their guns and walked calmly to the cliff! 2 1 year-old Ma Baoyu put on his uniform and hat and shouted, "Comrades, come with me"! The first one jumped into the deep valley. Ge Zhenlin and other four soldiers also jumped off the cliff.
The horror of the Five Warriors made all the arrogant followers of Bushido tremble with fear. Only then did they know that thousands of Japanese troops besieged and consumed a lot of ammunition every day, killing and injuring hundreds of people, and only five Eighth Route Army fought against them.
After five brave men jumped off the cliff, Ma Baoyu and three others died heroically. Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were stopped by branches halfway up the mountain. They escaped after being injured and returned to the army.
1in April, 942, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region built the "Three Martyrs Tower" on the chessboard, which was later destroyed by Japanese artillery fire. 1959 In March, the "Three Martyrs Tower" was rebuilt and renamed as "Five Warriors Memorial Tower of Langya Mountain". Marshal Nie Rongzhen wrote an inscription: "Revolutionary soldiers should have the spirit of death, and it is the glorious tradition of Yanzhao heroes to die rather than surrender.
[Edit this paragraph] Shen Zhong and the Five Strong Men of Langyashan
"Revolutionary soldiers should have the spirit of death; It is the glorious tradition of Yanzhao heroes to die rather than surrender. " This is the inscription of Nie Wei, commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, for the Five Heroes Monument in Langya Mountain. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai, five heroes of the 1 division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, resolutely led the enemy to the top of Qipaituo Mountain in order to cover the retreat of the masses and the main force. When the bullets ran out, they jumped off the cliff and wrote a magnificent poem with their lives and blood.
194 1 year, the Japanese army carried out a series of "mopping-ups" on the anti-Japanese base areas in Langya Mountain area of Yixian County, Hebei Province, resulting in many terrible tragedies such as Tiangang and Dongloushan, in an attempt to "nibble" our anti-Japanese base areas with the brutal "three light" policy. On September 23rd, the Japanese army marched into Yixian in three ways in an attempt to surround the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Army 1 Division under the command of Commander Yang Chengwu. On the 24th, 3,000 Japanese puppet troops suddenly surrounded the Langya Mountain area, and surrounded more than 2,000 guerrillas and surrounding people in Qiu Xutuan, Yixian, Dingxing, Xu Shui and Mancheng counties. The situation is very serious. Colonel Qiu Wei quickly reported the situation to Commander Yang Chengwu. In order to save the guerrillas and local people, Commander Yang Chengwu made a battle plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" and ordered 3. According to this battle plan, Colonel Qiu Wei handed over the task of covering the transfer of troops to the 7th company. At midnight, Colonel Qiu Wei commanded the troops and local people to move safely from Pantuo Road to Tiangang, Niugang and Songgang. Early in the morning, the Japanese puppet troops mistakenly thought that the Qiu Wei regiment had been surrounded. Under the cover of planes and artillery, the puppet troops violently attacked Langya Mountain for more than 500 days. The 7 th company soldiers had already laid mines on the enemy's only road, and the bombed Japanese and puppet troops left more than 50 bodies and fled back in a hurry. Convinced that Qiu Wei's regiment was surrounded, the Japanese commander ordered his troops to attack Langya Mountain again. In the fierce battle, most of the 7 th company soldiers died, and the company commander Liu Fushan was seriously injured and his life was dying. In order to make the big troops go further and the wounded soldiers of the Seventh Company can be safely transferred, instructor Cai ordered the small team to stay and stick to it. In order to stall and attract the Japanese puppet troops, Ma Baoyu led Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi and other five soldiers to retreat in the direction of Qipaituo while fighting, which led the Japanese puppet troops to a dead end. When they retreated above the chessboard, all the bullets had been exhausted, so they raised stones and threw them at the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese puppet troops found that there were no bullets, and rushed to the top of the mountain, shouting "Take them alive, take them alive!" Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai would rather die than surrender. In order to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from seizing their weapons and falling into their hands, they smashed their guns and shouted "Long live the China Production Party!" "Down with Japanese imperialism!" Wait for the slogan to jump off the cliff. Ma Baoyu, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai died heroically, while Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were caught by branches on the cliff and survived. The heroic feats of five soldiers, including Ma Baoyu, quickly spread throughout the whole army, and were known as the "Five Strong Men of Langya Mountain". 1In May, 942, the Jinchaji Military Region held a victory celebration for naming the "Five Strong Men of Langya Mountain" and anti-mopping-up. The leading organs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region awarded the title of "honorary model" to three martyrs, and ratified Hu Delin and Hu Fucai as Chinese Communist party member. Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were awarded a writ and were awarded the medal of "Courage and Tenacity". The fearless spirit of sacrifice and unyielding national integrity of the five strong men in Langya Mountain were highly praised by Commander Nie. He said, "They show the excellent quality of the people's army led by the Chinese Production Party and embody the heroism of the Chinese nation."
In order to commemorate and commend the five anti-Japanese heroes, the local revolutionary government built a memorial tower at the main peak of Qipaituo. After the founding of New China, the heroic deeds of the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain were included in primary school textbooks. 1978, Song Xueyi died and was buried in Qinyang Martyrs Cemetery. On March 2, 2005, on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ge Zhenlin died in Hengyang, Hunan. At this point, the last living man among the five strong men of Langya Mountain has also left people forever.
