冯德英所著的《苦菜花》是红色文学的经典,书中多次提到的让抗日军民恨之入骨的日军老巢道水城,最后被我解放,守军予以全歼。道水城的原型就是胶东半岛牟平的水道集,与书尾结局一样,现实中的水道据点,也是被我八路军攻克。但此战之激烈残酷,则远远超出书中之描述。 Feng Deying’s book “Bitter Herbal Flowers” is a classic of red literature. The book mentions several times that the anti-Japanese military people hate the old nest road, Watertown, and was finally liberated by me and the defenders were wiped out. The prototype of Tao Shuicheng is the water channel set of Muping in the Jiaodong Peninsula. Like the ending of the book, the actual channel site is also captured by my Eighth Route Army. But the fierce and brutal war, far beyond the book described.
