2024-03-25
In March, in southern Anhui, it feels warm and cold. The undulating hills set off the lake, and the weeping willows swayed in the wind... Recently, the reporter followed the mountain road and met Luo Yuanyao, an elderly man over a hundred years old from Huangpu in Jing County, Anhui Province. Luo Yuanyao, originally named Luo Qian, was born in April 1922 and currently resides in Pan Village, Maolin Town, Jing County. In 1937, he was admitted to the Infantry Department of the 4th Brigade of the 7th Branch of the 15th phase of Huangpu Military Academy and received training in Wangqu Town, Xi'an. After graduating from Huangpu Military Academy, he was assigned to the Headquarters of the First Theater Command and served as a second lieutenant and lieutenant deputy. In 1941, he was transferred to the 598th Regiment of the 200th Division of the 5th Army as the captain of the company and joined the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the battle against Burma. After returning from Myanmar, he was transferred to the 168th Regiment of the 56th Division of the 39th Army and participated in the winter of 1943 to support the Battle of Changde. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, Luo Yuanyao was incorporated into the 20th Officer Corps of the Central Training Corps and later retired. The current member of the 7th Council of the Anhui Huangpu Military Academy Alumni Association and the leader of the Jingxian Liaison Group of the Huangpu Military Academy Alumni Association. In March 2024, Luo Yuanyao told reporters his story of killing enemies during the Anti Japanese War. Zhao Qiang, a journalist from China News Agency, filmed "A big knife slashes at the heads of the Japanese, brothers armed throughout the country! The day of the Anti Japanese War has arrived, the day of the Anti Japanese War has arrived..." During the interview, Luo Yuanyao, an elderly man in the year of Qiyi, sang this inspiring "Big Knife March" to the reporter. Luo Yuanyao told reporters that after graduating from the military academy, he was assigned to the forward combat unit and suffered a disability on his right wrist during hand to hand combat with the Japanese army in the defense of Jincheng. "The Japanese soldiers raised their bayonets and stabbed me in the chest. Instinctively, I raised my right hand to block it. The bayonet did not hit my vital point, but deeply pierced my right wrist." Luo Yuanyao said that his purpose for applying to the military academy was to go to battle and kill the enemy. Despite being injured in the first battle, he fulfilled his wish to kill the enemy. Due to being injured in the battle, Luo Yuanyao took a rest in the rear hospital. During this time, I met Wei Daojie, the eldest son of Wei Lihuang, a classmate from Huangpu who was also recuperating. After his injury was healed, Wei Daojie recommended Luo Yuanyao to his father and became Wei Lihuang's deputy attendant. In 1941, Luo Yuanyao came to General Dai Anlan's 200 Division and served as the captain of the first company of the first battalion of the 598 Regiment. He participated in the Chinese Expeditionary Force's entry into Myanmar, and personally commanded the first battle into Myanmar - blowing up the Pew River Iron Bridge. At that time, the task assigned to him by the regimental headquarters was not only to destroy the iron bridge and eliminate the Japanese army, but more importantly, to capture the image bags of Japanese officers (which contained important intelligence such as military maps and battle plans). According to Luo Yuanyao, in this battle, more than 200 enemies were annihilated in one fell swoop, more than ten cars were destroyed, and the Japanese military officer's backpack was seized. They were immediately handed over to the regimental headquarters and the commander of the Fifth Army, Du Yuming, creating conditions for the subsequent Tonggu victory. Luo Yuanyao himself also received a second-class merit award. Luo Yuanyao wrote about the spirit of Huangpu. Zhao Qiang, a journalist from China News Agency, said, "Among my ancestors in Huangpu, General Dai Anlan had the deepest influence and greatest inspiration on me, because he detested Japanese people the most. When in Myanmar, wherever there were Japanese people, he concentrated his troops and fought fiercely." Luo Yuanyao told reporters that General Dai gave his three sons "Fudong", "Jingdong", and "Chengdong" respectively, hoping that future generations will not forget national shame. In May 1942, Dai Anlan
