“China’s heroic fight against Japanese armed forces protected the Soviet Union from being attacked from both sides and from fighting on two battlefronts simultaneously. The Soviet Union’s participation in fighting against Japan hastened the end of World War II. Both countries’contribution to vic-tory of World War II must never be un-derestimated.”
On the morning of September 3,on the Tian’anmen Rostrum in Beijing,a Russian soldier, with wrinkled face and turbid eyes, raised his right hand to salute the Chinese soldiers passing be-neath in a military parade. On his uni-form soaked by sweat medals sparkled in the early autumn sunshine, which seemed to refiect the fire of war on old anti-fascist battlefields.
T.G. Shudlo, a retired major gen-eral of the former Soviet Union Red Army, once served as the leader of the Anti-Tank Platoon of the 358th Infantry in the 39m Group of the Rear Baikal Armed Forces. He is now a member of the Council of the Russia-China Friendship Association, and Vice Presi-dent of the China Branch of the Rus-sian Veterans Committee.
General Shudlo, 88, participated in all the activities in Beijing marking the 70th anniversary of the victory oft he Chinese War of Resistance againstJ apanese Aggression and world victory against fascism.
Born in 1927, Shudlo joined the Red Army in 1944. The following year, the 18-year-old boy was one of the more than l.5 million soldiers who trekked across Siberia to China to par-ticipate in the war against the Japanese aggression. Although 70 years have passed, the memory of the war is still fresh because of, in his own words, not only the fierce battles that were fought then, but also because of the precious friendship established between the two countries in the common fight against fascism.
When marching to northeast China, the Soviet Union Red Anny en-countered countless difficulties in an unfamiliar environment.
“Once, when we tried to cross a river in a heavy downpour, Chinese locals spontaneously helped us build a wooden pontoon bridge. In order to get enough wood for the bridge, they even pulled down their houses. Thanks to their help, we crossed the river.”
The Soviets were moved by the Chinese locals’selfless support. After crossing the river, the engineer troop didn’t leave until they rebuilt the hous-es with their professional techniques in a very short time.
“This kind of friendship can’t be forgotten, but will become deeper in our memory with the passage of time.”
