The True History Reflected in Red Sorghum —— Sunjiakou ambush in Gaomi

Introduction: Anyone who has seen the movie Red Sorghum will remember that there is a place called "Jiujiuqing Shakou" in the movie, which is located in Sunjiakou Village, Xiazhuang Town (formerly Heya Town), the northeast township of gaomi city. There is a stone bridge in the movie, just on the Beijiaolai River in Sunjiakou Village. According to the local old people, this bridge has a history of at least 200 years. The story of the Japanese ambush in Red Sorghum happened here, which is the famous "Sunjiakou ambush". Sunjiakou is a small village with only 100 households, but don't underestimate this small village. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the ambush here shook the Jiaodong Peninsula, dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, and greatly increased the ambition of the people of China. Today, Sunjiakou is a patriotic education base.

"Sunjiakou is a small village with only 100 families, but don't underestimate this small village. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the ambush war here shook the Jiaodong Peninsula, dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, greatly increased the ambition of the people of China, and inspired the confidence and determination of the people of Jiaodong in the long-term war of resistance. " Speaking of Sunjiakou, Li Nan, curator of gaomi city Archives, could not hide his pride and excitement.

Director Li said that the battle took place on1March 6, 938. The Cao Keming Department of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla organized more than 400 soldiers and civilians to ambush the Japanese invaders who returned to Jiaozhou from Pingdu by using the Qingsha Bridge in Sunjiakou Village of Shahe Highway in Jiaozhou and the surrounding terrain. In this battle, 39 enemies were killed, including one Japanese Lieutenant General Nakaoka Miko, more than 50 guns were seized, more than 0/0000 rounds of bullets were fired, and more than 0/0 people were captured by the puppet troops. It shook the Jiaodong Peninsula in one fell swoop, dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, greatly increased the ambition of the people of China, and inspired the confidence and determination of the people of Jiaodong in the long-term war of resistance.

Sunjiakou is 70 miles north of Pingdu County, 50 miles south of Jiaoxian County and 60 miles southwest of Gaomi County. It is located on Jiaosha Highway at the junction of three counties. Guerrilla Cao Keming took a fancy to the advantages of the border between the three counties. Once the ambush begins, it will take some time for the Japanese and puppet troops in these three counties to get news or reinforcements. The soldiers are expensive and fast, and the Japanese army has no time advantage, so there will be no reinforcements and it will become a turtle in the jar. Guerrillas can use this time difference to fight a annihilation ambush.

"And at that time, the Japanese bullied the city and harmed the people. When the people heard that they wanted to resist Japan, they all supported it." Director Li said that she saw from historical materials that when the Japanese army was repairing rubber sand roads, it forced people to go out to work, and the people left their jobs to build roads, which was miserable, and sometimes they were beaten and scolded, and they were not allowed to give a penny. After the road was opened to traffic, the Japanese army often shot at buildings or trees, stone tablets and even civilians on both sides for fun. Sun Shi, a 60-year-old woman, is working in a vegetable garden, but she hasn't escaped for a while. She was shot in the chest by the Japanese army and died immediately.

At that time, people lived in fear and lost their heads carelessly. However, it was the people of China who refused to admit defeat, and the constant struggle of the people brought us a calm and peaceful life. Now Sunjiakou is located in gaomi city Shugang Logistics Park. Now there is no scene at that time, but the villagers living nearby always show pride and excitement when they mention this battle. According to old man Zhang's memory, this battle has since liberated the suffering people. Although there were casualties, it destroyed the arrogance of the enemy. Referring to Sun Jiakou's ambush, Director Li said that it is very meaningful to write these past events for readers. Only by letting more people hear these stories and see these details can we feel the scene at that time, the hardships of our predecessors, the vicissitudes of history and cherish our present life together. At present, Sunjiakou has a Sunjiakou ambush war monument, which has become a patriotic education base.

Carefully deploy and destroy the enemy.

Li, the curator, said: "Sunjiakou ambush war occupied favorable terrain and people's support." This is a battle that is both prepared and assured, and of course victory is in hand. The staff of gaomi city Archives Bureau told the reporter the story of Sunjiakou ambush word by word. During the story, everyone seemed very excited, as if the battle had just passed. Director Li said that this has something to do with their being Gaomi people, and they are proud of Gaomi's great achievements in history. According to the staff, on March 1938 of the lunar calendar 15, eight cars carrying Japanese troops went north via Sunjiakou, and the next day, the eight cars still returned to Jiaoxian by the original road. As a result, Cao Keming and Cao launched a careful ambush deployment.

The next morning, on March 16, the Cao Department evacuated the masses and laid a part of more than 400 guerrillas in the homes of the masses on both sides of Sunjiakou Street in Nanqiao. In addition, an ambush was set within the range of 10, and some guerrillas were arranged to pretend to farm on the roadside. At the corner of the village street, there are roadblocks connected by rakes used by farmers to rake the ground, waiting for the battle. Eight cars carrying Japanese troops came from the north. Five cars crossed the stone bridge first. There was a heavy machine gun on the first car. When turning into the village, the driver saw a roadblock ahead and the tire was punctured by the rake teeth. Before the car stopped, the guerrillas who ambushed people on both sides of the street immediately attacked with grenades, and all the Japanese troops in the car were killed. Because the fighting distance between the two sides is too close, the Japanese heavy machine guns have lost their function. Followed by four cars, crowded on the head of the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, stuck. The guerrillas lying in ambush on both sides were commanding, bullets were fired, and most of the Japanese troops were blown to pieces.

According to the memory of the old man who experienced the ambush in Sunjiakou, a Japanese officer with a command knife jumped out of the car and directed the car to fight back. In the fireworks, several Japanese soldiers climbed into a yard on the side of the road and fired wildly at the guerrillas. A dozen guerrillas were killed. Seeing that the Japanese firepower was getting more and more fierce, the guerrilla company commander Ma led dozens of guerrillas to ignite bundles of sorghum stalks and rushed to the car with the burning sorghum stalks. The car was finally ignited, and Cao Zhengzhi shouted: "Go!" The guerrillas in ambush swarmed and surrounded the remaining enemies, killing them without resistance, and several enemies rushed out for their lives.

At this time, the three cars that didn't cross the bridge at the northern end of the bridge stopped when they saw the battle in front. When they were attacked by ambush guerrillas, they quickly got off and resisted. After fierce fighting, they were all wiped out by guerrillas. After a Japanese army fled to Gongpomiao Village (now known as Dongfeng Village, the same below), it was discovered by villager Wang Daoli and shouted: "Come and catch the Japanese devils!" Sun, Sun and Zhang Fuzhen followed with shovels and forks. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese army got into an inlet. When Wang Daoli and others came after him, he was lying in the inlet dying to shoot. It was spring, and the rain was dry. Zhang Fuzhen raised the soil so that the Japanese army could not see the target clearly and could not open its eyes. The old hunter Wang Daoxiang took the opportunity to touch it from the side. When the soil gun rang, the Japanese army was injured and fell to the ground. At this time, a young man was quick of eye and load, took the opportunity to catch up and hacked the devil to death with a shovel.

After the other three Japanese troops rushed out, they fled southeast along the river bank. When they fled to Majiayuan village, they were blocked by guerrillas and people in the sniper circle. They entered the cemetery and fought back with the grave. At first, two guerrillas were injured, and then two Japanese soldiers were killed by guerrillas. The remaining one fled to Diaojiaqiu and was killed by the masses. After seven hours of fighting, 39 Japanese troops were annihilated, 30 guerrillas were killed or injured in this ambush, and 10 people took part in the war.

The Japanese army counterattacked the tragedy of Nianggong Temple.

Although Sunjiakou's ambush battle won, it was soon countered by the Japanese army. According to the staff of gaomi city Archives Bureau, at that time, people thought that the Japanese army had been completely annihilated, but they didn't know that there was another Japanese army hiding in the wheat straw of Sun Meili's house in Sunjiakou during the battle, and fled back to Jiaoxian by night and reported an ambush, which provided clues for the Japanese army to carry out cruel revenge. There were written records in the historical records at that time. The staff of the Archives Bureau said that they really couldn't bear to tell the tragedy. When they saw the historical records, they felt extremely sad. Written records are more cruel than the burning and killing scenes in movies.

The reporter looked through the historical documents, and the scenes that made people sad were vivid. One day before dawn, the Japanese squadron stationed in Qingdao attacked Sunjiakou in four trucks. Most people in the village didn't get up when the car went to the east end of Nangongpomiao Village in Sunjiakou Village. An early scavenger saw a Japanese car outside the east wall of the village and ran back in fear. The Japanese army mistakenly thought that there was an ambush in the in-laws temple village. As a sentry, the man shot at the village. The villagers in the in-laws temple, still asleep, heard gunshots coming from the east, that is, they hurriedly got up to help the old and bring the young out of the street and fled to the village. The Japanese army fired for a while and didn't fight back. They heard the crying in the village. I decided that there was no resistance before I rushed into the village quickly.

After entering the village, the Japanese army shot at the fleeing masses, and instantly more than 20 innocent villagers fell in a pool of blood! Then, the Japanese army blocked the entrance to the village and searched from house to house. Wang Chengen, a villager, and eight other elderly people were rushed to Wang Daochang's home by several Japanese troops, locked the door, poured gasoline on the house and lit it. Eight innocent old people were all killed! A woman did not escape, but was stopped by several Japanese troops and humiliated to death.

There are many vivid examples in historical records, which are enough to make everyone in China feel creepy. Wang, who is over 60 years old, successfully escaped from danger and found that 10-year-old grandson was still at home. Regardless of others' obstruction, he detoured home and took his grandson out. Who knows, just after going out, he was stopped by two Japanese soldiers and asked, "Where are the guerrillas?" He replied "I don't know"! After hearing this, the Japanese army kicked the old man in the stomach. When the grandson saw his grandfather fall, he jumped on the Japanese army, hugged his legs and cried for compensation from his grandfather. He was thrown upside down by the Japanese army and died! The Japanese army tossed about in the village for a while, and they chased the escaped people outside the village. At the east end of the village, they crowded more than 20 people into a ditch and set up machine guns to shoot. Suddenly, the ditch was red with blood. After shooting, they pointed bayonets at the stomachs of every fallen crowd. In the north of the village, the Japanese army surrounded a dozen people in a graveyard and shot them all with steps.

The Japanese army went in and out of the in-laws temple village and slaughtered it for more than four hours. Finally, they used bayonets to force a dozen young women they caught to take off their clothes and dance, and shot them in broad daylight. At noon, the Japanese army set fire to all the houses in the in-laws temple village, and suddenly the village became a sea of fire. Villager Wang Naiju's 70-year-old mother narrowly escaped the Japanese raid, but was burned to death. In half a day, the Japanese army slaughtered 136 people in Gongpomiao village, killing and injuring more than 70 people. More than 800 houses were burned down, and countless losses were caused to livestock, food and farm tools. At that time, there were less than 200 families in the village, and the extent of the slaughter was so deep that you can imagine the remnants after the robbery. This is the famous "in-laws temple tragedy" in the history of Gaomi Anti-Japanese War. In this ambush, the anti-Japanese guerrillas won a brilliant victory, the local people paid more than 100 lives, and the Japanese invaders owed a heavy blood debt to the hometown of Red Sorghum.
