烽火岁月里的笑脸 ■孙伟帅看到这张与孩子有关的老照片，不由让人会心一笑—— 一名年轻的八路军战士，被10多个孩子紧紧簇拥，有的拽着战士的胳膊，或用拳头顶着他的后腰；有的弯腰铆着劲，牢牢抱住战士的大腿。战士半低着头，看不清脸，可从他咧开的嘴角还能看出他的表情——他在笑，笑得质朴而温暖。孩子们更是笑得天真烂漫。他们的笑声，仿佛穿透了朦胧的远山，穿越了无垠的时空，在我们的耳畔久久回荡。如果不是战士那身灰布军装，这画面恍若邻家大哥哥带着同村的小伙伴在玩耍。那欢快热闹的场景，让战地记者沙飞情不自禁地举起相机，抓拍下这动人一幕。然而，正是那身灰布军装，无声地提醒着人们：这不是和平盛世的景象。在那灿烂笑容的背后，中华民族正在经历最深重的苦难，广大军民正在团结奋战抗击日寇。那是怎样一个年代？抗战进入相持阶段后，日寇在华北推行“囚笼政策”和残酷的“三光政策”，妄图用碉堡、封锁沟和疯狂的扫荡，绞杀根据地军民。八路军缺衣少粮、弹药匮乏，却始终以钢铁般的意志奋勇御敌。1940年8月20日至次年1月24日，八路军总部指挥发动百团大战，以破袭正太铁路为重点，打响敌后战场规模最大、持续时间最长的进攻战役，沉重打击了侵略者的嚣张气焰。照片中的战士，或许不久前刚刚经历过惨烈战斗，绑腿上还沾着战场的硝烟和泥土。然而此刻，他神色安然，脸上洋溢着笑容，任凭一双双小手抓着自己嬉笑玩闹。这样的笑容，在根据地并不少见：八路军战士总是面带笑容，帮老乡挑水、铡草、推石磨；乡亲们也总是微笑着，把家里所剩无几的口粮塞进战士的口袋…… 这源于心灵深处的笑容，正是党领导下的人民军队与人民群众生死与共、血脉相连的生动写照。抗战时期，我党领导的八路军、新四军深入敌后，浴血奋战，建立了晋察冀、晋冀鲁豫、晋绥等大片抗日根据地。据统计，仅华北各根据地就有数以百万的民兵和群众参军、参战，根据地还普遍建立了儿童团，孩子们站岗放哨、传递情报、宣传抗日。八路军官兵用血肉之躯，在炮火硝烟中为老百姓撑起一片相对安宁的天空；不经意间，他们也成为了根据地孩子们革命思想的启蒙者、成长道路的引路人。所以，当我们凝视这张老照片，看着孩子们与八路军战士亲密无间的嬉闹场景时，看到的是孩子们从心底生发出的情感——他们认定，这个穿着灰布军装的人，就是自己的亲人，是可以一起亲近玩闹的“大伙伴”。 1945年8月15日，日本宣布无条件投降。不知道照片中的八路军战士，是否看到了最后的胜利？也不知道那些围着他嬉笑玩闹的孩子，有没有在村子里点燃欢庆的鞭炮？或许，他们当中个头蹿得快的，已经和当年陪他们玩耍的八路军战士一样穿上了灰布军装，跟着部队南征北战…… （图片由《解放军画报》资料室提供）请扫描二维码，阅览更多老照片故事

Summary

Machine summary

PLA Pictorial's archive room published a wartime photograph by Eighth Route Army photographer Sha Fei showing a soldier surrounded by children in a base area during the War of Resistance Against Japan, accompanied by an essay by Sun Weishuai contextualizing the image within the Hundred Regiments Offensive period and the Japanese 'cage policy' (囚笼政策) and 'three-all policy' (三光政策) in North China. This is standard political-work content of the type PLA media publishes regularly around historical anniversaries; its value is as a record of how the institution frames the Party-army-people relationship (军民鱼水情) for a contemporary audience, not as evidence of any operational or policy development. The framing centers on the children's corps (儿童团) and civilian integration as proof of revolutionary legitimacy, a narrative line the PLA uses consistently to ground present-day loyalty norms in the anti-Japanese resistance.
