How brave is the Sichuan army?

Man braving the wind and waves in Wan Li, it is best to make a name for himself before he dies in battle and bears the burden of humiliation, and nod and go out. This was the famous battle song "Pray for Death" of Sichuan Army at that time.

30 Wan Chuan army went out of Sichuan to fight against the enemy, 3 million able-bodied men went wave after wave, and 5,000 people in Wan Chuan United. This is the memory and information of a nation. Sichuan was the main battlefield of the anti-Japanese war at that time, and the Sichuan army made great contributions to the anti-Japanese war! All the soldiers failed their country, fought bravely and killed the enemy! Even if you run out of ammunition and food, bite the enemy with your teeth! Even today, 80 years later, the people are all in awe when they mention the Sichuan Army!

1At the beginning of February, 938, due to the warlord "King of Shandong" Han Fuju's retreat without a fight, the 10th Division of Iwatani Lian Jie, the Japanese invaders, occupied Jinan, Tai 'an, Yanzhou, Zouxian and other places along the Jin-Pu Railway without hindrance. The invading army approached tengxian, attacked the 5th Division of Banyuanzheng Shiro in Linyi, planned to surround Taierzhuang, occupied the strategic town of Xuzhou at that time, and opened the Tianjin-Pudong and Longhai railways.

Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater at that time, sent the 22nd Army to tengxian to stop the Japanese from going south. At this time, Wang's 122 division was guarding Teng county. At that time, there were only three divisions in tengxian, 1 brigade headquarters, all of which were logistics and support personnel. The main force was pinned down by the Japanese army and could not be deployed, so the troops were very empty.

Wang urgently transferred Zhang Xuanwu, head of the 727th regiment, and a battalion of combat troops to the city for defense. On the other hand, I called the 266 Brigade of Pingyi Front Line for help, and at the same time I asked the headquarters in Lincheng for help. At this time, there were only more than 3,000 defenders in Tengxian County, of which less than 2,000 were able to participate in the war. According to the requirements of his superiors, Wang decided to ask for help and immediately told all the officers and men in the city: "I am with you, the city will survive, and the city will die."

At 8: 00 am on March 1938, the Japanese army had arrived in Enemy at the Gates. 10 many cannons were concentrated in the east and the city, and more than a dozen planes also bombed and strafed the city crazily. After two hours of bombing, more than three thousand shells were fired inside and outside the city. The southeast corner of Dongguan city wall was blasted with a gap one or two meters wide. Then the Japanese army violently strafed the gap with dozens of light and heavy machine guns to cover the impact of infantry. Under the strong counterattack of our army, we beat back the enemy's attack many times and didn't stop fighting until 8 pm.

17 at 6 o'clock in the morning on March 6, the Japanese army bombarded with artillery planes, and the whole city was ablaze and devastated. More than a dozen Japanese tanks took the opportunity to rush through the gap in the East City Wall, followed by rows of Japanese troops.

Our defenders destroyed two Japanese tanks with cluster grenades, brandished broadswords, jumped into enemy groups and brandished knives, and wiped out all Japanese troops who climbed the city wall. After the tragic war, there were only 14 people left in our company.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army bombarded the Nancheng city wall with a 12 heavy howitzer, and twenty or thirty enemy planes bombarded the Nanguan defenders. The wall of Cheng Nan City was severely shelled by the enemy to open a gap, and five or six hundred Japanese troops swooped down on Cheng Nan under the cover of more than a dozen tanks.

124 Lv Kang, brigade commander of the 370 th Brigade of the Division, and Wang Chaolian, deputy brigade commander, were seriously injured in the first-line battle, when the defenders suffered heavy losses. At 3: 30 pm, after the Japanese army occupied the South Wall under fire, Lin Wang, head of the 740th regiment of the124th Division stationed in Dongguan, died heroically.

When the Japanese army rushed into Dongguan, Mr. Wang visited the crossroads in the center of Dongguan to direct the operation. Unfortunately, it was swept by Japanese machine guns. Wang, the division commander, Zhao Weibin, the chief of staff, Luo Jiaxin, the deputy division commander, Xie Dayong, the chief of staff of the 124 division, and more than ten people accompanying them all died heroically.

At this point, Wang Zhiyuan, the brigade commander of the 364th Brigade, and Zhang Xuanwu, the commander of the Yugoslav capital, were shot and injured, and the defenders in the city were unguided and fell into a state of disintegration. At 9 o'clock in the evening, under the command of Hou Ziping, deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 727th Regiment, more than 200 officers and men guarding the north city wall jointly pulled open the blocked north gate, which broke out in an organized way.

Small units that lost contact in the city failed to break through, so they fought alone and started street fighting with the Japanese army. It was not until noon on 18 that all heroic sacrifices stopped shooting.

In the battle of tengxian, the Sichuan Army fought bloody battles and went down in history. Delayed the Japanese army's southward movement, and gained valuable time for the deployment of China's army in Taierzhuang.

The leaders of the Communist Party of China wrote an elegiac couplet in memory of Wang: "It is the true nature of revolutionary soldiers to fight for the lonely city rather than surrender;" Determined to destroy the strong enemy, die for the country and win glory for the Chinese nation! "

Li Zongren later wrote in his memoirs: "Without tengxian's persistence, there would be no great victory in Taierzhuang!" He also highly praised: "In World War I in tengxian, the Sichuan Army was outnumbered, and with great sacrifice, it stopped the enemy from going south, completed the combat mission, and wrote the most glorious page in the history of the Sichuan Army's Anti-Japanese War.

The wind rolls clouds, the rain wraps the wind, and the wind screams and clouds dance and thunders. Give your life for your country, and your heroism will last forever.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan soldiers and civilians did their greatest and most important duty for the frontal battlefield. And Sichuan is also one of the regions with the largest number of participants and the worst sacrifice! The figure of the Sichuan Army spread all over the battlefields, large and small, and made great contributions to the war of resistance at that time.
