In the history of the Anti-Japanese War, the story of Sun Liren burying Japanese prisoners alive was widely circulated because he was too Japanese, but its authenticity needs to be verified. But a major general of our army really buried the devil alive, and he was not a prisoner, but a Japanese soldier with a weapon in his hand. The major general's name is Ceng Mei.
It is worth mentioning that Major General Ceng Mei also has some connections with Zunyi Conference, which is the most important conference in the history of * * *. At that time, he was ordered by Zhou Enlai to choose the venue for the Zunyi Conference and found a house in Phoenix Mountain. This house was originally owned by Huizhang Bo, the teacher of * * *, so it is spacious and luxurious, and it is convenient to configure sentries around it, which is very suitable for holding a Zunyi meeting. So the Red Army leaders moved into this mansion one after another, and held a Zunyi meeting here, which changed the fate of China.
This story can be traced back to burying the devil alive. At that time, it coincided with the sixth anniversary of the July 7th Incident, and the organization decided to hold a commemorative meeting to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Xitou Village, Yan County, Shanxi Province. However, there are many Japanese and Puppet Army strongholds not far from Xitou Village, so the security work has become a top priority, and the person in charge of this event is Ceng Mei.
Ceng Mei did not dare to neglect, and set up an observation post at a key position. After finding out the whereabouts of the devils, they immediately evacuated the people and set a trap for the Japanese army. The number of reconnaissance teams sent by the Japanese army is very small, and all of them are surrounded by Ceng Mei. After several shots and grenades, six devils fell. The remaining Japanese and puppet troops fled here like headless flies and plunged into a cave, ready to fight back.
Ceng Mei saw that the Japanese didn't mean to surrender. He didn't want the troops to storm and pay the price of blood. But if they dragged on, it would attract Japanese reinforcements, so he had a brainwave and called on the villagers to block the cave and bury the devils alive. Villagers who had the opportunity to kill the devils themselves naturally raised their voices and soon swarmed with tools. Three times five divided by two blocked the entrance of the cave. By this time, it was too late for the devils inside to surrender. When the oxygen in the cave was exhausted, both the japs and the puppet troops choked to death.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Ceng Mei was awarded the rank of Major General and continued to work as his staff officer. Finally, he served as Chief of Staff and Commander of Beijing Garrison. It is worth mentioning that Major General Ceng Mei lived a long life, and lived 10 1 year. Moreover, people at that time didn't pursue health preservation like people now, just eating three meals and living a regular life. It can be seen that a good attitude is the main reason for a person's longevity. Major-General Ceng Mei did such a happy event as burying the devils alive and defeating the invaders, and naturally lived a long life.
