Chapter 11 brutal bombing

(Written on October 7, 1936, see diary on March 5, 1935) This is the second time that Zunyi, a big city in Guizhou, has been occupied.On the second day after defeating Wu Qiwei's column and triumphantly returning to Zunyi, in order to continue to destroy Zhou Hunyuan's troops, the Red Army marched towards Yaxi for the second time. After winning the big victory, the red warriors were so excited beyond description. They set off today to fight for victory in the war. Of course, the courage of the warriors couldn't be higher.The masses in Zunyi have twice been favored by their friend, the Red Army (they cleared out the enemy and distributed clothes for them), and this time they go to fight again after the Red Army has won a big victory (also their victory) Under the circumstances, I am so happy that I don’t know what to do: when we start to move forward, we wish us victory; when we move forward, they are lined up on the street, at the gate of the city, and on the side of the road, smiling and watching. With tens of thousands of red athletes rushing to the front line, they all have infinite hope in their hearts, hoping that the Red Army will destroy Zhou Hunyuan again, so as to ensure their liberation from the heavy oppression of warlords, gentry and landlords.Under the light of the sun that had just climbed the mountain, under the farewell and hope of countless people, tens of thousands of red soldiers marched along the road.They also have unlimited hope, hoping that a great victory will be achieved in order to repay the support and hope of the broad masses of toiling people.

After walking for ten miles along the road, we diverted to the right and took the rural road, because the Yaxi River was not connected to the road yet. The enemy who usually used planes to threaten and bomb us, after he suffered a major setback and lost the war, would use his planes to fight for his life. This is the experience gained by experienced Red Army soldiers from the struggle.Under such circumstances, under such weather, the plane that everyone hates must come.Therefore, beware of the arrival of that nasty thing while still on the road.After arriving at the path, although it is better hidden than the road, there are some pine forests and trees along the way, but because of the crowded team, it is still annoying. If the plane comes and finds the target, it will be even worse!

Indeed, around eight o'clock, the enemy plane, which everyone hated and expected, sent a buzzing sound from the distant sky, and sent it to the ear drums of the marching soldiers.In the distant sky where the sound came from, we could vaguely see three crow-like enemy planes flying towards us. Tick-tick-tick-tick... The air defense warning signal was sent out from the front and rear teams, and everyone's spirits were tense.The team that had been walking neatly on the road disappeared in a short while, and the small road full of people was deserted for a while.Hiding in the woods, squatting in the ditches, and lying under the ridges of the fields... Everyone is looking for his "insurance company", hoping that the enemy planes will not go over their own sky, and when they arrive, they will not hover here. Don't throw bombs, and don't throw bombs near yourself.

We were approaching a small pine forest.In this flat field, there is this pine forest to hide, of course it is a good place.When the team entered the pine forest, the three monsters scattered and hovered in the sky, so they had to lie down in a depression beside the pine forest.Although in the past experience, the plane paid attention to hitting the forest, but it was too late to leave, so we had to "resign ourselves to fate" and let the enemy plane do what it wanted. The soldiers were speechless, but they all lay down in their respective places, hoping that the enemy plane would go away quickly.The blood is jumping rapidly, and the anger is even higher. The most anxious thing is that the trouble of the enemy plane will hinder our victory, but there is no other way, and we still endure it.

At this time, everything is lonely, except for the humming of three planes, which is very loud.Everything is stopped, just three planes soaring wildly overhead. After circling many times, the target must have been found, and there was a "bang" sound, and the bombs began to be thrown.Everyone's spirits became more tense, their pulses became faster, and their anger rose even higher.The bomb was blown up in the woods ahead. According to others, it was near the teaching camp, and the groans of the wounded comrades were heard.Then the two bombs of "Boom! Boom!" exploded in our own team.The comrades nearby ran to other places because they felt uneasy about their status. The injured comrades moaned there again. Under the noise of the plane, it was very miserable to hear!

Comrade Yao rushed over covered in plaster, with a pale face, and said in a low voice and hurriedly: "Oops! Both bombs hit the middle of our team. Our squad leader has knocked down three, and the team leader has also been knocked down. Because I was lying down, I was only covered in mud, really..." Before he finished speaking, he said "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!", when he looked up a little, he was in our team again.At this time, black smoke filled the entire pine forest, and debris, soil, branches, and even the clothes and flesh of the bombed soldiers all flew up one after another. The voice of "Ouch, help..." was called out from the mouth of the injured comrade in a miserable way. It was really sad to hear it!Annoyed again!

At first, I felt that the place to hide was not safe, and it was in a dangerous area, but at this time, everyone got up and ran around, which made the plane realize that everyone stood up and ran, the target was bigger, and the debris could be more effective. to the running man.I am especially afraid of looking at the plane. When the plane is still circling, I dare not look up at it, because I am even more afraid when I see it flying above my head, especially when I see the bomb falling down, so I just hug it tightly. Lying on the ground with its head on its head, it seems that it will immediately burrow into the soil like a pangolin.

Injured Yin Dasheng and Guo Chengxiang staggered over holding their wounds. Their bodies were covered with plaster, their faces were already blue, and their clothes and pants were soaked with blood.He said to me desolately: "I am injured, please call the hygienist to apply the medicine... Ouch!" I was even more sad after hearing his words and seeing his description.The plane was still circling in the sky, and everyone was scattered. Where could we find a hygienist?I had no choice but to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, the hygienist is gone now, just lie down here, and when the plane leaves, ask the hygienist to apply the medicine..."

The bombs of "Boom" and "Boom" exploded again, and they were all in the pine forest in front of them. They both quickly and reluctantly lay down, and I also lay tightly on the ground. The bomb stopped, and the noise of the plane gradually died down. "The damn bastard is gone," the comrade next to him said angrily.At this time, everyone came out of their "safety ground", and everyone's faces showed that on the one hand, they hated the plane that brutally bombed us, and on the other hand, they expressed their infinite hatred for the comrades who were killed or injured by the bombing. With compassion, they all went to condolences to the injured comrade, tied his blood vessels, cleaned up the soil, found a health worker, found medicine for him, and helped him to rest in the shade of the tree.

"Tick, tick, tick..." The assembly horn blew, and the troops continued to move forward to complete the combat mission.After being stimulated by the enemy plane bombing just now, my spirit became more tense, and my hatred of the enemy increased even more. I wished to run in front of the enemy immediately and wipe him out quickly, to answer his cruel methods, to sacrifice and to be bombed. Wounded comrades revenge! This unit of ours was the most heavily bombed one, and most of the bombs exploded in the middle of our unit, so we could not follow them in order to deal with the dead and wounded comrades here.

After the assembly number rang, all the separated comrades came back, and everyone complained loudly: "Today is the team of the teaching camp that exposed the target." "Is there a team? It's the breeder who is leading the horse and running on the road when the plane arrives." "It is the burden of comrade cooks that is not well concealed"... Walking to the bombed place is really unbearable to see and hear. They help him.Their hands and feet were broken, their heads and faces were torn, and their bodies were blown up. Their blood continued to flow. However, when comforted by their comrades, they still showed their determination for the revolution. Hate our class enemies even more.They said: "It doesn't matter, don't worry, the evil enemy will be wiped out by our hands one day!" The comrades who died were even more dedicated to the revolution, for the benefit of the workers and peasants, and for the national independence and liberation.They lost consciousness and their bodies were shattered: some had their heads shattered and their brains flowed to the ground; Hanging on the branches, dripping with blood, the broken pieces of clothing they carried were still burning and smoking; there were many corpses, no one could be identified.The guns of the combatants were also broken, and the bullets were burnt and exploded. The copper pots of the cooks were broken, the dish dishes were smashed, and the official documents of the transporters were also smashed.There were several holes in the ground, and many pine trees fell down. The branches and leaves were also mixed with the flesh and blood of the sacrificed soldiers. Weapons, luggage, and soil were scattered all over the ground. Heap, the green shade that is good for rest has become a place where blood and flesh are flying everywhere and corpses are messy!Everyone who came here was heartbroken and couldn't help crying, wishing to catch the pilot immediately, cut him into pieces, and eat his flesh raw. Everyone was mobilized: some buried dead comrades with shovels; .But many wounded comrades have to be lifted up and walk, their guns, ammunition and luggage have to be lifted, and the burdens of transporters and cooks who have been injured or sacrificed have to be shouldered. Therefore, in addition to asking the masses to help, we can only mobilize everyone to bear the burden. Those who carried the wounded, those who carried the burdens, and those who carried the guns on their backs, arrived at the camp after dusk.Even in my dream, I still haven’t forgotten the brutal bombing of the evil Kuomintang army planes on us today, and I hope that tomorrow’s battle will wipe out the evil enemy and avenge my comrades.
