Zhou Zhuoran's Life Experience as a Martyr

Zhou Zhuoran,1spring of 904, was born in fengle town, Zhongxiang City, on the east bank of the Han River. His father runs Zhou Hengxing grocery store. He has a prosperous business and a well-off family. He is a famous local businessman. Zhou Zhuoran received a good education from an early age. He graduated from Zhongqiang Middle School on 1924. That year, 20-year-old Zhou Zhuoran married his cousin Li Yujie, who was three years older than him.

When Zhou Zhuoran was in middle school, he was influenced by the "Three People's Principles" thought put forward by Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of China's democratic revolution. At the beginning of Zhou Zhuoran's marriage, he originally planned to run the grocery store left by his parents, build a love nest with his wife at home and have children. However, due to the increasing aggression of imperialist powers, the reactionary warlords betrayed the country for glory, and the national political situation has been in the midst of civil strife and foreign invasion. The grocery store business opened by my father has gradually become cold, and it has closed down when Zhou Zhuoran inherited it. Zhou Zhuoran's family has four brothers. He is the second child. After the grocery store closed down, the family lived in poverty and often had no food, which was laughed at by the local people.

Zhou Zhuoran was unwilling to accept the decline of his family, could not stand the cynicism of others, and made up his mind to go out and take a break. Zhou Zhuoran, who received a good education, found that the rise and fall of the country and the plight of the family were caused by foreign invaders, foreign powers and reactionary warlords. At that time, "overthrow the powers, except warlords; Strive for the national revolution and work together. " Zhou Zhuoran is one of a large number of young people who are determined to serve the country. The most important thing to change the status quo in China is to drive away the invaders, so he decided to abandon business and join the army.

1In the autumn of 925, a friend of Zhou Zhuoran's middle school days sent a message from Zhongxiang Chengguan, saying that the Whampoa Military Academy founded by Sun Yat-sen was enrolling students in Hankou and invited him to enter the exam together. The young and competitive Zhou Zhuoran immediately discussed with his newly married wife Li Yujie to go to Sun Yat-sen's Whampoa Military Academy. His wife is Miss Yicheng, educated and sensible. She fully understands her husband's feelings of serving the country, agrees with his decision and encourages him to go out and have a rest.

When Zhou Zhuoran decided to leave his hometown, his wife was pregnant. A virtuous wife, knowing that her husband didn't have much travelling expenses and living expenses when he was away from home, quietly sold all the gold bracelets, necklaces and earrings she married at home, making up the travelling expenses and living expenses for her husband. When Zhou Zhuoran bid farewell to his newlywed wife, with affectionate travelling expenses and living expenses, he sat on a small steamboat from Fengle to Hankou on the Hanjiang waterway, and his mood could not be calm for a long time. In Hankou, he successfully passed the exam, got on the train to Guangzhou, the cradle of revolution, and entered the Sixth Cavalry Division of the Army College of Huangpu Military Academy.

After Zhou Zhuoran entered the Whampoa Military Academy, he was like a duck to water and studied very actively. His cultural and military quality has always been among the best in the cavalry division. 1February, 926, China * * * clearly put forward the political proposition of sending troops to the northern expedition to overthrow the warlord's rule. In May, the Ye Ting Independent Regiment of the Seventh Army and the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, as the vanguard, first sent troops to Hunan to help the Tang Shengzhi Department of the Eighth Army, which was being defeated by the Wu Department, and retreated to Hengyang, southern Hunan.

Zhou Zhuoran, a student at Whampoa Military Academy, soon took part in the Northern Expedition and made great achievements. In the year when he took part in the Northern Expedition, his eldest daughter was born in his hometown. Zhou Zhuoran was too busy to go home and have a look, but he gave her a nice name "Jinan" to commemorate his participation in the Northern Expedition in southern Guangzhou. After Zhou Zhuoran graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, the Japanese targeted China, constantly sending more troops to the northeast, and the two armies confronted each other on the northeast border, and the situation was critical. Zhou Zhuoran resolutely went north, 1929 served as the company commander of the seventh division of the Sixth Cavalry Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

1930, Zhou Zhuoran's youngest daughter Zhou Youlan was born. After receiving the letter, Zhou Zhuoran, who was stationed in the north, sent a photo to his family, asking his mother and daughter to forgive his father who was a soldier. He misses his wife and daughter. 193 1 year, the "September 18th Incident" broke out in the northeast of China, and the Japanese Kwantung Army invaded three northeastern provinces of China. 1933, the Japanese invaded Shanhaiguan, which opened the prelude to the Great Wall War of Resistance. As a patriotic soldier and a warm-blooded man in China, Zhou Zhuoran led his troops to the anti-Japanese front and followed General Fu to kill the enemy. He has participated in the battles of Datong, Baotou, Taiyuan and Wuyuan.

As a cavalry general in China, Zhou Zhuoran was ordered to lead his troops from Suiyuan to the east in the face of the brutal crimes committed by the Japanese invaders, and launched a life-and-death struggle with the Japanese. Just as all the officers and men persisted in the spirit of sacrifice and fought bravely against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek's clique accepted Japan's armistice conditions in Peiping. He immediately ordered Zhou Zhuoran's cavalry troops to stop fighting and withdraw from their positions. Zhou Zhuoran was gloriously wounded in this War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Helpless, he was forced to return to the rear to recuperate and wait for the opportunity to fight against Japan and kill the enemy.

1937 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is in full swing. Zhou Zhuoran participated in the battles of Datong, Baotou, Taiyuan and Wuyuan successively. Zhou Zhuoran was promoted to the rank of the seventh division of the sixth army of the Fufu Army in the eighth theater because of his bravery against Japan. 10, the battle of Xinkou began. At this point, Niangziguan fell, Taiyuan was in an emergency, and Fu Department was ordered to assemble in Taiyuan. Fu's main force has only two brigades. Although they were well-trained and had some actual combat experience, the north and south fought for several months, with more than half of the casualties. Some recruits were expanded in a hurry and lacked training. 1October 6th, 165438+, the 5th Japanese Division began to attack the suburbs of Taiyuan. The troops stationed outside the garrison were defeated, and the field plan based on the city was completely frustrated, leaving an ambush in the lonely city. On the 7th, under the cover of dozens of planes, hundreds of cannons and tanks, Japanese troops in northern Shanxi and eastern Shanxi joined forces to continuously attack the city.

At this time, Zhou Zhuoran received an order to lead the troops to cooperate with the friendly forces to reinforce the main force. Zhou Zhuoran rode a horse and quickly led the army to the front line to direct operations. After two days and nights of bloody fighting, the Japanese army was finally defeated. Fu led the troops to break through and retreated to Shilou area. In the battle of Taiyuan guarding city, Wei, Sun Lianzhong, Wang and four people were safely transferred. Although the Japanese army invaded Taiyuan, it suffered heavy casualties and was unable to continue committing crimes in the south. In this battle, Zhou Zhuoran was unfortunately hit by shrapnel from a Japanese bomb. He fell off his horse and was seriously injured again. The comminuted fracture of his left arm was sawed off. He left the army again to recuperate in the rear.

1938 In the spring, Zhou Zhuoran returned to Zhongxiang to visit relatives after recovering from injury. At that time, his wife and two daughters had moved from their hometown Fengle to the county seat. Zhou Zhuoran was reunited with his family for the last time. This year, his youngest daughter Zhou Youlan is 8 years old and his eldest daughter Zhou Jilan 12 years old. His little daughter is always worried when she recalls her father who was injured and recuperated at that time. He often wakes up in the middle of the night and dreams of fighting the Japanese army. At this time, the Japanese invaders approached step by step, and the troops were losing ground. How can this make a patriotic general feel at ease? Zhou Zhuoran stayed at home for only four days and then returned to the battlefield with injuries. Before leaving, he said to his wife Li Yujie, "I feel at home all over the world, and now the country is in danger. As a soldier, I want to defend my country. I can't take care of your mother and daughter at home. " He also gave his wife a piece of shrapnel and a bloody military blanket taken from his left arm, asking her to keep them well, saying, "These are all evidences of Japanese aggression against China, so you must keep them well." When he bid farewell to his relatives and left his hometown, he deliberately took his dissatisfied 15-year-old brother Zhou Ke to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War.

Since the spring of 1938, after the Japanese invaded Shanxi, in order to consolidate North China, suppress Luoyang and spy on Ann, they besieged Zhongtiaoshan for thirteen times, all of which failed. 1In the autumn of 938, the Japanese invaders invaded Central China from North China and East China, and the anti-Japanese form was severe. Zhou Zhuoran resolutely decided to return to the front line of anti-Japanese war with injury and set foot on the journey again. Along the way, Zhou Zhuoran earnestly warned his younger brother Zhou Ke that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The Japanese invaders are the biggest enemy of our Chinese nation. If we Chinese sons and daughters don't accumulate,

After Zhou Zhuoran returned to the team, he was ordered to lead the seventh division of the Sixth Cavalry Corps to reinforce Zhongtiaoshan to the west, contain the Japanese army and cooperate with the entire anti-Japanese battlefield. At that time, Shaanxi Tongguan was in a fierce battle against Japan. When the cavalry division led by Zhou Zhuoran went to Tongguan and went to fenglingdu Town, Ruicheng, Shanxi Province on the bank of the Yellow River, they met the Japanese army. In the face of the arrogant Japanese invaders, Zhou Zhuoran calmly responded. Under the cover of planes and artillery, Japanese troops stormed Zhou Zhuoran's position. The battle was very cruel, and suddenly a shell fell on Zhou Zhuoran, who was commanding the battle at the front line, and exploded. At that time, Zhou Zhuoran was covered in blood, and he had been directing: "Give me a hard battle and destroy these little Japanese devils." In an instant, the bloody anti-Japanese general died at the forefront of the war of resistance. After Zhou Zhuoran, a patriotic anti-Japanese general, died for his country in the battle with the Japanese army, his heroic deeds quickly spread all over China, inspiring a large number of anti-Japanese soldiers to wave upon wave.

Zhou Zhuoran was only 34 years old when he died, and he was the highest-ranking commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese front. The younger brother who followed him to the army, with tears in his eyes, buried the body in Huayin County, Shaanxi Province, not far from fenglingdu, with the help of the anti-Japanese troops.

199 1 was honored as a "revolutionary martyr against China" by the people and the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
