Su Mei retrieved surveillance videos from all intersections in the city that day and created a map of the old man's walking route.
The old man first appeared near the Martyrs Cemetery and walked along the street to Jiefang Road. He dug through several trash cans along the way and picked something to eat from them, and then joined the anti-Japanese march.
He was old and somewhat hunched, but he held his chest and head high as he walked in the procession, looking very energetic.
The Hengdian police used the clumsiest and most effective method, investing a large amount of police force. They took the old man's photo and visited door to door near the Martyrs Cemetery, and finally determined his identity.
The old man's name is He Weiguo, and he was once an anti-Japanese soldier in the expeditionary force.
The song he sang in the parade has rarely been heard today. The song was originally called "The Military Song of Intellectual Youth" and later became the military song of the New First Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
In 1942, He Weiguo was only 14 years old. He left his hometown because his home was destroyed by the war. That year, he joined the 38th Division of the New First Army of General Sun Liren and went to the battlefield of Yunnan and Burma to fight against Japan. He went through the Battle of Mandalay, the Battle of Hukang Valley, and the Mengong Valley.
He fought in dozens of battles, including battles, and then moved to India. He was awarded military exploits four times and received many awards and commendations.
After the Japanese surrendered, the civil war began, the Japanese were defeated, and He Weiguo went to Taiwan.
During the war, He Weiguo suffered serious injuries to his head and abdomen, and there were two shrapnel in his skull. The severe brain injury caused him to suffer from a mental disorder, and he spent most of his life in a mental hospital in Taiwan. Subsequently
With the development of medical technology, it was not until his later years that the shrapnel in He Weiguo's skull was removed. After a period of treatment, he recovered and was discharged.
The medical staff asked him: Do you have any last wishes?
The old man replied: Go home!
He Weiguo suffered from mental illness all his life. This lonely old man was unmarried and had no children. He only had a younger brother in the mainland. However, his only relative passed away in the 1990s. After the approval of Taiwan's "Retirement Association", and
Through the mediation of the Home for Veterans, and after some complicated procedures, the old man finally returned to the mainland to settle down.
There is an old locust tree at the entrance of the village. The earthen house behind the locust tree was his home, but it is long gone now.
The nephew who works out of town found a job for the old man, guarding the martyrs' cemetery.
After this lonely old man returned to the mainland, he has been taking the job of guarding the cemetery. There is a cemetery behind the martyrs cemetery with no name, no surnames, no monuments and no tombs. When the school organized students to sweep the tombs during the Qingming Festival, no students had ever come here.
A white flower is stuck on the ground. The ashes of Taiwanese veterans are buried in this unmarked cemetery. This cemetery is privately managed, not established by the state, but belongs to a local charity.
He hunched over, cleaning fallen leaves, and said nothing all day long.
In the unknown cemetery, his comrades lie buried.
One year during the Qingming Festival, students came to visit the graves one after another. Two naughty students accidentally broke into the cemetery behind the cemetery. The old man was relieved that someone finally came to pay homage. However, after a conversation, the students asked in surprise:
What, Japan also resists Japan?
The old man was silent.
Another student spat on the ground and said: Bah, that's a lie. It's written in the book that if the Japanese don't resist Japan, they must first settle down the country.
The old man remained silent for a long time and continued to sweep the fallen leaves without saying anything in reply.
We should pay tribute to all the sacrificed and bloody patriot souls. The great Chinese Patriotic War is one of the four major anti-fascist wars in the world. It is not based on millet and rifle, guerrilla warfare, tunnel warfare, mine warfare and small soldiers.
What is won is to use heavy troop groups to confront the enemy head-on. On the battlefield, 3.21 million officers and soldiers of the Japanese army died heroically, and the entire navy was destroyed. In the Yunnan and Burma battlefield alone, the Chinese Expeditionary Force invested 400,000 troops, suffering 20 casualties.
Thousands of people.
These are rarely recorded in textbooks!
The special case team learned from relevant departments in Taiwan that He Weiguo suffered from war post-traumatic stress disorder. This mental illness is a sequelae of war. Although he has been cured, there is still a possibility of recurrence. Once he relapses, he will be lost.
I have been trapped in a certain memory from the past for a long time, such as the Anti-Japanese War.
Perhaps, an explosion from the Hengdian filming scene made him think that he was still living in the Anti-Japanese War. Smelling the smoke and gasoline, and seeing the actors wearing Japanese military uniforms, this prompted his schizophrenia to reach the breaking point.
.Then he remained in this chaotic mental state. He hid in the bamboo forest in panic and tried his best to calm down. He did not forget that he was a soldier or his skills on the battlefield. He made nooses.
The trap killed a Japanese soldier. Unfortunately, the soldier was actually an actor.
Su Mei said: I have a question: He Weiguo is an 80-year-old man, can he still be capable of killing people and committing crimes?
Director Chen said: I used to be a prison guard. There was an old man in the old disabled team. He was over 80 years old. His son was the principal of a primary school, so he asked the old man to guard the gate of the school. He raped more than a dozen little girls in a few years. He
The verdict was once the best-selling pornographic publication in the prison. By the way, when he was arrested, the old man even injured a policeman. After entering the prison, he still masturbated under the quilt every night...
Hua Long interrupted Director Chen and said: It is inappropriate for you to compare an old gangster with an anti-Japanese veteran.
Professor Liang said: The murderer had received extraordinary military training and hated the Japanese extremely. To him, this was not murder, but war.
Bao Zhan said: It is not easy to catch him. He knows how to survive on the battlefield and hide himself.
He Weiguo, an old man, has gone insane and left his residence in the Martyrs Cemetery. The special case team asked the Hengdian police to pay attention to searching abandoned unfinished buildings, cement pipes on construction sites, and remote places such as bridge holes and mountains and forests. At the same time, for safety reasons,
, the special case team recommended that the major crews of Hengdian suspend filming of anti-war dramas.
However, the major film crews did not follow the advice. They were considering cost issues. After all, suspending filming would cause economic losses.
Two days later, in full view of the public, the filming site where the bearded director was located was attacked. At that time, the pyrotechnics technician had set up several explosive points and had just used a wire control to detonate a prop bomb. Most of the shells of such prop bombs are made of foam.
Some dirt was filled inside to create a realistic effect of dust flying into the sky after the explosion. What they filmed was a highlight - the heroic underground military team disguised themselves and blew up the Japanese artillery towers.
During the explosion, an arrow was shot from nowhere and hit a Japanese actor in the eye.
The sound of the explosion was accompanied by the actor's scream. Everyone was stunned and rushed to send the actor to the hospital. The bearded director led people to search, and an old man ran towards the mountain path in panic.
Hengdian police and the special case team arrived later and through description, confirmed that the old man who attacked the Japanese actor was He Weiguo.
Elder He Weiguo fled to a nearby hill. This veteran who had experienced dozens of large and small battles had superb killing skills, which made the police dare not underestimate the enemy.
The first siege ended in failure. Hundreds of policemen surrounded He Weiguo on the top of the hill, and they camped step by step, slowly approaching.
The old man escaped, injured an armed policeman, and took away a pistol.
This time, what he grabbed was a real gun.
At that time, the situation was very unfavorable for the old man. The armed police surrounded him and approached the hilltop. The old man set a fire. It was summer and the weather was dry. The fire quickly started and spread to the entire hilltop. The armed police officers and soldiers
During an emergency retreat, He Weiguo attacked a lone armed policeman with a bow and arrow and snatched his gun. He did not run down the mountain, where there was a dead end, but hid in a cave.
The mountain fire was extinguished by fire officers and soldiers. Because the firearms held by the state were extremely dangerous, the Hengdian police urgently reported to their superiors and requested assistance. The second roundup began. In addition to hundreds of armed policemen, this roundup and pursuit began.
The chemical defense company and reconnaissance company of the field troops were also dispatched, firing more than a thousand rounds of bullets, and even using rocket launchers and mortars.
A soldier asked: Who are we arresting with so many people?
The company commander said: arrest someone, an old man.
The soldier said: "So many heavily armed policemen can't handle it. Why do we have to send our company up just to arrest an old man?"
The company commander said: This old man is a veteran and has participated in several wars. You should be careful.
The soldier said: He is alone and I am not afraid.
The company commander said: If he aims at your head, he will never hit your legs.
At the filming site at the foot of the mountain, the bearded director put on an armed police uniform and carried the camera.
The pyrotechnics master said: Director, what are you doing? He even changed his clothes.
The bearded director said: As a director, don't think that I have no ideals or ambitions, and always make trash TV series. I also want to make some positive films. This time, if the scene of killing a ** veteran can be filmed, I will
I didn’t become this director for nothing.
The pyrotechnics master widened his eyes and said: You are trying to sneak in and become a war reporter. It is very dangerous.
The bearded director said: War correspondent, this is a really good word.
The pyrotechnics master said: I also change clothes and I will be your assistant, but we can only post on Weibo what we took.
The armed police officers and soldiers blocked the old man He Weiguo in a cave. Director Chen invited a local villager and inquired and learned that there was no other exit to the cave, but the terrain inside the cave was complex and easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was not appropriate to attack rashly.
.An officer shouted into the cave through a loudspeaker, asking the old man to put down his weapons and surrender immediately.
There was silence in the cave. The officer shouted again, and in response was a gunshot. The officer immediately fell down and his hat was knocked off.
Professor Liang looked at the cave and said to Hua Long: Put on your body armor and lead a team of armed police to kill him.
Hua Long unloaded the magazine and said: I'm sorry, Uncle Liang, if you ask me to kill an anti-Japanese veteran, I can't do it.
