In the "8.13" Songhu Anti Japanese war in 1937, sun Mingjin, a junior in the Army University, was ordered to go to the front line of Shanghai to fight bravely against the Japanese aggressors. After the end of the campaign, he returned to the Army University. In 1938, he graduated from the Army University, remained as an instructor, and went to the Research Institute of the Army University for further study.

After the outbreak of the comprehensive anti Japanese War, sun Mingjin volunteered to go to the front line to kill the enemy, and served as the chief of the first section and senior staff officer of the third war zone. Later, she moved to various places with the army, planned the war, and participated in the battles of Nanchang in 1939, defeating the strong enemy repeatedly.

In November 1943, in order to plunder the rich products in the Dongting Lake area, destroy the main force of our field army in Western Hunan, and then threaten our wartime capital Chongqing, the main Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Changde area. Our Changde garrison fought to the death, and the war situation became stalemate.

At this time, general sun Mingjin was ordered by the commander of the war zone. On November 19, he led 8000 soldiers of the 10th Reserve Division to help Changde from Hengyang, where they were stationed, to participate in the battle of Changde. They traveled day and night and arrived at zhaojiaqiao on the 26th. At this time, the main force of the third and thirteenth divisions of the Japanese army learned that our reinforcements were coming, and immediately came to intercept them. The two sides launched a fierce battle.

On the 30th, in order to cover the 3rd Division's capture of Deshan, sun Mingjin once again led the main force of his division to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army, in order to attract and suppress the main force of the Japanese army. Then, the departments of the 10th division of the preparatory army were attacked by the 34th and 68th regiments of the 3rd Division of the Japanese army at jinlinqiao in the front and zhaojiaqiao in the side. The fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce, and the officers and soldiers of the 10th division of the preparatory army were seriously injured!

Under the strong cover of the preparatory 10th division, the 3rd Division attacked the periphery of Deshan at dawn on the same day. After repeated fierce competition, the 3rd Division finally captured Deshan at 6 pm.

On December 1, Mr. Sun led his division to continue a bloody battle with the main Japanese forces in the area of zhaojiaqiao in the southeast of yijiachong. During the battle of Hengyang in 1944, on the morning of June 28, our 10th army prepared mortar company commander Bai Tianlin of the 28th regiment of the 10th division to command 8 mortar volleys and kill the commander of the 68th division All of them were seriously injured, and the command system of the 68th division was paralyzed.

In the extremely critical situation of the war, division commander sun personally braved the rain of bullets and directed the troops to fight hard.

Fight till evening

The flank of the preparatory 10th division was suddenly attacked by the Japanese army in a roundabout way. The Japanese army concentrated on attacking the preparatory 10th division with heavy artillery fire, and the situation became more and more dangerous. At this time, his subordinates asked to cover Mr. Sun's breakthrough, but his father refused his subordinates' request and threw himself into the fierce battle.

Mr. Sun personally took up a light machine gun and led his troops to charge against the Japanese aggressors. After a shot of machine gun, he shot with pistol and rifle, and finally fought with Japanese army with bayonet. The bayonet was broken!

When Mr. Sun led his troops to a mountain pass, a Japanese army with a machine gun shot at him at three meters. Caught off guard, a string of criminal bullets from the aggressor hit sun Mingjin in the neck, chest, waist and arm. Sun Mingjin was shot and fell to the ground. Her blood was like a spring, and the blood was immediately dyed through her clothes. The guards immediately shot and killed the Japanese armed with machine guns and carried sun Mingjin out of the encirclement. Sun Mingjin glared at the guards and cried out: "the Chinese people should be brave, not afraid of death, not greedy for life, sacrifice their lives, save the country and the people, and strive to kill the enemy! Try to kill the enemy

Excessive bleeding

The injury was very serious, leaving you with the last breath like silk. Before he died, he still helped the guard with his hand, and his subordinates marched forward to Deshan: "carry out the order, accomplish the task!" At the end of the speech, he died for his country! He is only 38 years old.

Memorial Hall

In the autumn of 1943, Japan was caught in a bitter battle between the Pacific battlefield and the Chinese battlefield. It was determined to launch a deadly battle with the Chinese army in Changde in order to destroy the determination of the Chinese army and people in the war of resistance. The battle of Changde is regarded by many historians and militarists as "China's Stalingrad defense war". In this war, the whole city of Changde was destroyed. There was only one Spanish church and roof in the city, and there was no body on a bluestone slab. In this war, the enemy and US suffered heavy casualties, and the Chinese Army sacrificed three division commanders alone. One of them was general sun Mingjin, the commander of the 10th division of the preparatory division. General sun killed the enemy bravely in the front line, and finally got a horse wrapped in a corpse. However, some people are just trying to cheat general sun out of his death pension. How can they be embarrassed.
