World War II: Starting from the National Army Soldiers

In the autumn of 1937, Shitou, a farmer in Henan Province, was arrested. The first battle was the Battle of Songhu. Shi Gensheng learned how to shoot and pretend to be alive among the dead. Next is Nanjing. The river was dyed red and corpses were everywhere. He hid in the ruins, listened to the screams of his compatriots, picked up a gun, and vowed to kill more Japanese. He later participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, Battle of Wuhan, and Battle of Changsha. The people around him changed one after another, and he survived. In August 1945, Japan surrendered. The whole town was reveling, and Shitou squatted in the corner, thinking of the silly boy - they didn't wait for this day. He didn't know that the battle was not over yet. In 1946, he was shipped to Northeast China. Until I saw the amulet of fellow villager Erluzi on the battlefield - a man died on the opposite side. For the first time, he wondered: What is the purpose of this battle? He put on a gray cloth military uniform and became a soldier of the People's Liberation Army. He fought all the way through the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Pingjin, and the Battle of Crossing the Yangtze River. On October 1, 1949, news of the founding of New China came on the radio. Shi Shi touched his sleeping wife next to him - the girl who took him in when he deserted the army, and said softly: "Silly boy, we won." He was thirty years old that year and had white hair. After twelve years of fighting, he finally became a human being. A captured strong man, fought from the Battle of Songhu to the founding of New China. He has seen hell, killed Japanese, been confused, and betrayed. This is not the history of generals, but the story of the survival of thousands of ordinary people in that era.
