The victory of the "918 Incident" gave the Japanese invaders a taste of sweetness, so the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders began to move south, launching a large-scale attack on China, and then the Japanese invaders launched a provocation against the national army under the city of Wanping, and the national army counterattacked under the unbearable situation, and this counterattack was the famous "77 Incident" in the history of the Anti-Japanese War After that, the Japanese invaders launched a full-scale war against China, in order to achieve victory on the Chinese battlefield as soon as possible, the Japanese invaders mobilized a large number of troops to launch a war on multiple fronts, hoping to completely defeat the Nationalist Government and completely end the Chinese battlefield.
However, the shameless actions of the Japanese invaders aroused the strong resistance of countless heroes and daughters, and soon the actions of the Japanese invaders were seriously blocked, and the Japanese invaders immediately attacked the anti-Japanese activities, and under the blows of the Japanese invaders, many heroic sons and daughters became prisoners of war and were cruelly targeted.
One of them is the anti-Japanese hero Liu Yaomei, who was captured by the Japanese and hung on a tree and was treated most cruelly by the Japanese invaders, and finally paid for her life.
So, who is Liu Yaomei, what kind of experience did she have, why did she embark on the road of fighting against the Japanese invaders, let's talk about this matter today.
In 1921, Liu Yaomei was born in a poor peasant family in Luoyu Village, Fuping County, Hebei Province.
Liu Yaomei, who was born in the turbulent era, was not defeated by the times, but had the courage to face life and seek happiness in suffering, but this happy life, with the full-scale invasion of the Japanese invaders, Liu Yaomei's hometown also became a fallen area. During this period, Liu Yaomei saw the cruel atrocities of the Japanese invaders, which made her very angry, thinking that only by standing up and fighting back against the Japanese invaders could the Japanese invaders be successfully expelled, so Liu Yaomei actively participated in various anti-Japanese activities, and in 1939, Liu Yaomei successfully joined the organization and became the chairman of the local women's federation to do logistics work for the organization.
Don't look at Liu Yaomei is only 18 years old, but she has rich experience in activities, and the local logistics department has done a very good job under her proper arrangement, and everyone is very satisfied with her, and she is a good partner to get along with.
Four years later, Liu Yaomei hoped to go to the front line to kill the enemy, but after comprehensive consideration, the organization felt that Liu Yaomei could better play her value by staying in the rear to work.
Later, with the defeat of the Japanese invaders in the Pacific Theater, the Japanese invaders, who were about to come to an end, started the final madness, concentrated 40,000 puppet troops, and rushed towards the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, hoping to give the anti-Japanese forces a fatal blow.
Under the fierce attack of the Japanese invaders, the city of Pingyang fell, and after occupying Pingyang County, the Japanese Arai Brigade carried out a brutal sweep around Pingyang County for 87 days, during which the Japanese invaders adopted terrorist methods such as shooting, burning, and burying them alive, resulting in thousands of deaths and creating the cruel "Pingyang Massacre".
After the fall of Pingyang County, the situation in Luoyu Village became more and more critical, at that time, in order to better achieve their shameful behavior, the Japanese Arai Brigade did not hesitate to set up strongholds around Pingyang City, the main work of these strongholds was to sweep every day, arrest people who might be in contact with the Eighth Route Army, and then interrogate and kill.
Luoyu Village is only about five miles away from the plain, and the Japanese invaders can reach it in the blink of an eye, but the situation at this time is very critical, and in the face of the critical situation, our party did not have a trace of fear and retreat, but marched forward bravely and led the people of Luoyu Village to stubbornly resist the Japanese invaders to the end.
At that time, the villagers of Luoyu Village, day and night, were actively guarding against the Japanese invaders, during the day, there were special guards and guards, and at night, the whole village rescued autumn grain, cleared the wilderness, and actively resisted the sweep of the Japanese invaders.
Under the leadership of our party, the sweep of the Japanese invaders did not achieve effective results, which made Arai very unhappy, so he adopted a more cruel method, Liu Yaomei was unfortunately arrested by the Japanese invaders when he returned to rescue public grain.
After Liu Yaomei was arrested by the Japanese criminals, she was soon identified by the traitor, causing her identity to be known by the Japanese criminals, so Liu Yaomei was brought to Arai, Arai was a cruel Japanese criminal, he did not hesitate to open the pregnant woman's belly in order to get information, to see if the baby was male or female, it can be seen from this that Arai can use all means to achieve his goals.
The fundamental reason why Arai took the initiative to interrogate Liu Yaomei was that she had a lot of important information in her hands, which made him feel that this matter had to be done by himself, otherwise others would not be able to open Liu Yaomei's mouth.
In order to make Liu Yaomei spit out relevant information, Arai tortured Liu Yaomei on the first day, hoping that she could tell the food and guns buried by our party, but Liu Yaomei's will was very firm, no matter how the enemy tortured him, he did not spit out any information, during which the Japanese invaders couldn't help but remove her clothes in order to make Liu Yaomei succumb, and locked her in the cowshed to feel the cold brought by November, but this did not make Liu Yaomei succumb, seeing that Liu Yaomei did not give in, Arai asked people to cut off the meat on Liu Yaomei's thighs, and let the Japanese guards next to her share the food, but this not only did not make her succumb, but the Japanese invaders were reprimanded, Liu Yaomei's non-yielding, so that Arai completely lost patience, ordered her to be killed, cut off her head, cut meat and dumplings, and then threw her body into the well, her head was hung on the city gate by the Japanese invaders, and Liu Yaomei was only 22 years old when she died.
In order to better tell everyone about the crimes of the Japanese invaders, a reporter took a photo of the hero with a trembling hand, this photo was named "The Death of Liu Yaomei", this photo witnessed the cruel crimes of the Japanese invaders in China, and at the same time left a heroine's indomitable national integrity in the world forever.
The villagers couldn't bear to let the hero go on the road like this, so they found a pair of shabby cotton pants for her to wear, and then rolled up the mat and took her home.
In this brutal sweep, Liu Yaomei's husband, father, father-in-law, younger brother and nephew were brutally murdered by the Japanese invaders, and because her family made outstanding contributions to the anti-Japanese cause, they were all buried together.
The civilians who were slaughtered by the Japanese in the Binh Duong tragedy were buried together because their bodies were still incomplete, and the tomb was called the "Tomb of a Thousand People".
In 2005, Liu Yaomei's mausoleum was moved to the Pingyang County Martyrs Cemetery for future generations to pay homage and worship, and on August 24, 2015, the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of China announced a list of 600 anti-Japanese heroes, and Liu Yaomei was among them.
