People's Liberation Army Daily: When the "918" siren rings

"September 18, September 18, from that tragic moment..." With heavy singing, the author slowly walked into the Shenyang September 18 History Museum. This is a building that combines a monument and a museum, with the front facing like an open calendar, with the date permanently fixed on September 18, 1931. On this "Remnant History Stele" densely covered with wounds and bullet marks, a few lines of words are engraved: "At around 10 o'clock at night, the Japanese army self destructed the Liutiaohu section of the South Manchuria Railway, falsely accusing the Chinese army of its actions, and then captured Beidaying. Our Northeast Army soldiers retreated in pain without resisting orders. The national crisis came, and the people rose up to resist."

Since 1995, on September 18th every year, the entire city of Shenyang has sounded a 3-minute air defense warning to remind the public to always remember the September 18th Incident and not forget national humiliation. At this moment, as I stand in front of the museum's "ruins monument", the sound of police sirens piercing through the sky seems to be ringing in my ears

This siren sound is a warning. After 1840, the Chinese nation was repeatedly bullied by foreign powers, causing humiliation to the country, suffering to the people, and civilization to dust. Especially the September 18 Incident in 1931, the Japanese imperialism's ambitious attempt to annihilate China was evident; In the July 7th Incident of 1937, Japanese imperialism launched a full-scale invasion of China, and countless compatriots died tragically under the gunfire and knives of the Japanese invaders. People can't help but ask, why has our great country been repeatedly bullied by Western powers? Why does Japan dare to invade China so recklessly? The reason is that if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and if you fall behind, you will be bullied. Since modern times, the Chinese nation has been repeatedly invaded by foreign enemies, which is the result of long-term poverty and weakness; Now we dare to speak up and shine our swords on the international stage because the Chinese nation has made a great leap from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong. The world today is not peaceful, and no matter when, we must always remember the warning of the "918" siren, always be vigilant in times of peace, and keep the alarm ringing. We must strengthen our bottom line thinking and limit thinking, and win career success by "preparing for difficulties".

The sound of the siren is a wake-up call. "If we don't go to war, the enemy will use bayonets to kill us, and they will point their fingers at our bones and say, 'Look, this is a slave!' The song 'If we don't go to war' in the past stirred the hearts of the Chinese people and inspired countless Chinese people to devote themselves to the battlefield. The 14 year history of the Anti Japanese War is not only a history of military resistance and national resistance, but also a history of national vigilance and people's struggle. "My mother asked my son to fight in the East, my wife sent my son to the battlefield," and "joining the army to fight against the Japanese" became the choices of countless Chinese people at that time. The Anti Japanese War of the whole nation swept away the haze of "China's 40000 people, equivalent to a scattered sand", and enabled China to achieve its first complete and complete victory in resisting foreign invasion in modern times, fully demonstrating that "the victory of the Chinese people's Anti Japanese War is a great victory of national spirit centered on patriotism.". We should deeply appreciate the great power of patriotism from the sound of the "September 18th" alarm, concentrate our energy on doing our own things well, and strive to gather the struggles of countless individuals into a magnificent force that works together to promote the construction of a strong country and the rejuvenation of the nation.

The sound of the siren is an encouragement. In the arduous and extraordinary War of Resistance Against Japan, all Chinese people fought for the survival of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the justice of humanity. The breadth of social mobilization, the depth of national awakening, the tenacity of fighting spirit, and the firm belief in victory all reached unprecedented heights. Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Zuoquan, Peng Xuefeng, Tong Linge, Zhang Zizhong, Dai Anlan, the "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" of the Eighth Route Army, the "Liu Laozhuang Company" of the New Fourth Army, the eight female soldiers of the Northeast Anti Japanese League, and the "Eight Hundred Heroes" of the Kuomintang Army... These heroic names and groups of righteous heroes have written a heroic epic that shakes the world and tears ghosts and gods, and will always be remembered by history and future generations. More than 90 years have passed, and when we think of the anti Japanese war stories that have been recorded in history, and the anti Japanese heroes who sacrificed their lives for our country, we still cannot help but feel our admiration and inspiration in our hearts. The sound of the "September 18" siren inspires us that revolutionary soldiers in the new era must not let their spiritual blades rust and roll, but must, like anti Japanese heroes, integrate their courage and blood into their veins, let their heroic spirit seep into their bones, dare to wield their swords against stubborn enemies, dare to break through difficulties, and strive bravely to continuously achieve new victories.

The sound of the siren is a warning. Promote the Anti Japanese National United Front and achieve a significant transformation from domestic revolutionary war to national liberation war; Propose and implement a strategic general policy for a protracted war, providing ideological guidance for transforming disadvantages into advantages and passivity into initiative; Persist in mobilizing the people and relying on the people, so that the Japanese invaders fall into the sea of people's war... At the historical juncture of national crisis, the CPC led the people to win the final victory of the Anti Japanese War with outstanding political leadership and correct strategic strategies; The people of the CPC fought with the Japanese aggressors bravely, tenaciously and resolutely, and became the model of the whole nation in the war of resistance. History tells the world that "the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japan is a great victory for the CPC to play a mainstay role". The sound of the "September 18th" police siren shows us that the CPC has always been the most reliable backbone of the Chinese people when the wind and rain hit. Following the Party will have a bright future. Today, in order to promote the great spirit of the Anti Japanese War, we must know history, believe in the Party, love the Party, always listen to the Party's words, follow the Party, comfort history with loyalty and responsibility, and not disappoint the people.
