Zhang Zizhong (this person is super famous)

Zhang Zizhong (1891.8.11-1940.5.16), courtesy name Xinchen, was a lieutenant general in the Army of the Republic of China. He was posthumously awarded the rank of Class II Colonel after his death. General rank, famous anti-Japanese general and national hero.

Han nationality, from Tangyuan Village, Linqing, Shandong Province.

In 1911, he secretly joined the Tongmenghui while studying at the Tianjin School of Law and Politics, and in 1914 he joined the army.

In 1917, he joined Feng Yuxiang's department and served successively as battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander and other positions.

After the Central Plains War in 1930, Feng Yuxiang's military group was disintegrated, and Zhang Zizhong's troops were absorbed by Chiang Kai-shek.

After 1931, Zhang Zizhong served as commander of the 38th Division of the 29th Army, commander of the 59th Army, commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army and commander of the Right Wing Corps of the 5th Theater.

In 1937, after Shanghai and Nanjing fell one after another, the Japanese invaders directed their troops towards Xuzhou, aiming to seize this strategic location.

In March 1938, the Japanese army invested 70,000 to 80,000 troops and marched in two directions towards Taierzhuang in the northeast of Xuzhou.

When they arrived in Linyi and Teng County, fierce battles broke out with the Chinese army.

The 3rd Army Corps of Pang Bingxun was guarding Linyi at that time.

Due to the disparity in strength and heavy casualties, Pang's troops were in urgent need of reinforcements.

Zhang Zizhong was ordered to lead the 59th Army to arrive in time for reinforcements at a speed of 180 miles a day and night.

Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun were enemies for a long time, but he put aside personal grudges and led his troops to fight in conjunction with Pang Bingxun.

Under the cover of aircraft and artillery, the enemy troops cooperated with tanks and armored vehicles to launch an attack on the Tea Mountain position.

With the determination to "kill the enemy with all his life" and "serve the motherland in case of emergency", Zhang Zizhong fought fiercely with the enemy and repeatedly fought hand-to-hand.

At the foot of the tea mountain, the Liujiahu position was lost and recovered three or four times, and the battle was extremely fierce.

After several days of fierce fighting, the enemy suffered heavy losses and retreated steadily.

The Chinese army successively recaptured Mengyin and Ju counties, annihilating more than 4,000 enemies.

Soon, the Japanese army sent the Sakamoto Brigade to launch an offensive against Linyi and Sanguan Temple in an attempt to make a breakthrough.

Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun fought hard. After a fierce battle all night, the Japanese army suffered a heavy blow. Its strategic attempt to reinforce the front line of Taierzhuang was completely shattered, ensuring the victory of the Taierzhuang battle.

In May 1940, in order to control traffic on the Yangtze River and cut off transportation lines to Chongqing, the Japanese army assembled 300,000 troops to launch the Zaoyi Battle.

At that time, the 33rd Group Army of the Chinese Army had only two regiments stationed on the west bank of the Xianghe River.

As the commander-in-chief of the group army, Zhang Zizhong did not have to personally lead the troops to attack, but he ignored the repeated dissuasion of his subordinates and insisted on leaving the deputy commander-in-chief to stay. On the evening of May 6, he wrote to the deputy commander-in-chief and the 77th Army A letter from Army Commander Feng Zhian:

"My dear brother, I have met: Due to the all-out war in the theater and my own responsibilities, I have to cross the river to fight the enemy. It has been decided to go there tonight. Advance to the east bank of the Xiang River. After reaching the east of the river, if you can get in touch with the 38th Division and the 179th Division, you will lead the two divisions to fight the enemy heading north regardless of the cost.

If you can fight with the 179th Division, The 38th Division couldn't get in touch, so we led the three regiments of the Cavalry Division and headed north towards our ultimate goal (death).

No matter whether we do good or bad, we must seek comfort for our consciences. From now on, both public and private. I have to ask my brother to take charge.

From now on, we may leave temporarily or leave forever, I don’t know.” He personally led more than 2,000 people to cross the river to fight.

On May 1, Zhang Zizhong personally wrote to all the troops and generals: "The country has reached such a point that there is no other way except for us to die for it.

I believe even more, As long as we can maintain this determination, our country and our nation with a history of five thousand years will never perish at the hands of a mere three-island Japanese slaves.

The sea is clear for our determination to die for our country and nation. "If the stone is not broken, it will never change at all." After Zhang Zizhong led more than 2,000 people to cross the Xianghe River, they attacked bravely and cut off the Japanese 13th Division in the middle.

The Japanese army then used superior forces to encircle and attack Zhang Zizhong's troops.

Zhang Zizhong did not flinch and commanded his troops to charge and kill more than 10 times the enemy who was one and a half times their number.

The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.

On May 15, more than 10,000 Japanese troops launched a pincer attack on the troops led by Zhang Zizhong from the north and south.

The fierce fighting continued until dawn on the 16th, and Zhang Zizhong's troops were forced to retreat to the Pumpkin Shop Shili Changshan.

Under the cover of aircraft and artillery, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the Chinese army's positions.

Launch 9 charges a day and night.

The number of casualties in Zhang Zizhong’s unit increased sharply, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.

Within one day on May 16, Zhang Zizhong shouted to supervise the battle from morning to noon. At noon, he was shot in his left arm and still insisted on directing the battle.

By 2 p.m., Zhang Zizhong had only a few hundred officers and soldiers left. He transferred all his guards to the front for reinforcements, leaving only eight people including senior staff officer Zhang Jing and adjutant Ma Xiaotang.

He took out a pen and wrote a final report of nearly 100 words to the theater headquarters. When he handed it to Ma Xiaotang, he said: "I fought hard and died. I feel that I have no regrets for the country and the nation. You should work hard to kill the enemy." , Can't live up to my ambition." Later, Zhang Zizhong was hit by a machine gun bullet in the waist. He lay on the ground and fought bloody battles until he died heroically.

After Zhang Zizhong died in battle, the Japanese discovered the body of General Zhang. They examined it and found it to be correct. They worshiped together, buried it with fine wood, and erected a wooden plaque.

The entire army saluted him. Even when his body was transported back to the rear, the Japanese army received the news and ordered a halt to the air force's air raids for one day to avoid damaging Zhang Zizhong's body.

It can be seen that the military ethics displayed by General Zhang Zizhong during the Anti-Japanese War even moved the Japanese army who advocated militarism at the time.

Chiang Kai-shek was shocked to hear that Zhang Zizhong had been martyred, and immediately ordered the 5th Theater Command to retrieve Zhang Zizhong's remains at any cost.

More than a hundred outstanding soldiers snatched General Zhang’s body and transported it to Chongqing overnight.

When the coffin passed through Yichang, flags were flown at half-mast in the city, and more than 100,000 people went to pay homage.

When the coffin arrived in Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek came to greet the coffin in person and offered sacrifices. He held the coffin and cried bitterly, and wrote a handwritten plaque with the words "heroes for a lifetime" in praise.

*** Inscribed the elegy of "Serve the country with all your devotion".

Zhang Zizhong was only 50 years old when he died for his country. His wife, Ms. Li Minhui, went on a hunger strike for seven days and died after hearing the news. The couple were buried together at the foot of Meihua Mountain in Chongqing. Later, the General Zhang Zizhong Cemetery and the General Zhang Zizhong Cemetery were built. General Memorial Hall and Military Life and Deeds Exhibition Hall.

Zhou Enlai once personally wrote an article praising Zhang Zizhong as "his loyalty and heroism can be regarded as the soul of the Chinese anti-Japanese war soldiers."

Yue Fei's famous saying: "Civil officials do not care about money, but military attachés do not hesitate to die, and the world will be peaceful!" General Zhang Zizhong's resistance to Japan embodies this spirit of "military officers do not hesitate to die".

His last words before his death were:

"I died well like this, died gloriously, and my conscience is at peace for the country, the nation, and the superiors." On his deathbed. On this occasion, he still kept thinking, "It's a good death... my conscience is at peace."

On April 16, 1982, the People's Republic of China and the Kuomintang Posthumously recognized Zhang Zizhong as a "revolutionary" martyr".

In 1991, to commemorate the centenary of Zhang Zizhong’s birth, Hubei Province built the General Zhang Zizhong Memorial Hall in Yicheng.

Zhao Yiman

After the September 18th Incident in 1931, Zhao Yiman was sent by the Communist Party of China to lead the revolutionary struggle in the northeastern region.

In 1935, he served as the political commissar of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the 3rd Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army. In November, he was unfortunately arrested due to leg injuries while fighting the Japanese and puppet troops.

In order to obtain valuable information from Zhao Yiman, the Japanese army found a military doctor to perform simple treatment on his leg injury and then conducted a harsh interrogation on him overnight.

Facing the ferocious Japanese army, Zhao Yiman, who did not care about life and death, endured the pain and angrily denounced the various crimes committed by the Japanese army since they invaded China.

Seeing that Zhao Yiman refused to give in, the brutal Japanese army used a horse whip to stab his leg wound.

Zhao Yiman, who was seriously injured, showed the strong will and determination of a Communist Party member to fight to the death. He fainted several times from the pain, but still said firmly: "My purpose, I My doctrine, my belief, is to resist Manchuria and resist Japan.” He did not say a word about the situation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

On December 13, 1935, because Zhao Yiman suffered a serious leg injury and was in critical condition, the Japanese army sent her to Harbin Municipal Hospital for surveillance and treatment in order to obtain an important confession.

While Zhao Yiman was hospitalized, she took advantage of various opportunities to educate police officer Dong Xianxun and female nurse Han Yongyi on anti-Japanese patriotism. The two were deeply moved and decided to help Zhao Yiman escape from the clutches of the Japanese army.

On June 28, 1936, Dong Xianxun and Han Yongyi carried Zhao Yiman out of the hospital and put him in a car hired in advance. After going around, Zhao Yiman arrived at the Jin family shack in Acheng County. Dong Xianxun's uncle's home.

On June 30, Zhao Yiman was unfortunately caught up by the Japanese troops who were chasing him on his way to the anti-Japanese guerrilla zone, and fell into the clutches of the Japanese troops again.

After Zhao Yiman was brought back to Harbin, the brutal Japanese military police subjected her to more severe torture methods such as the tiger bench and pepper water.

According to enemy and puppet archives, the Japanese military police brutally tortured her in order to force her to reveal the secrets of the Anti-League and the Party’s underground organization.

Dozens of types of torture were used before and after torture, including electrocution.

But she remained unyielding and did not reveal any truth.

Knowing that they could not get any useful information from Zhao Yiman, the Japanese army decided to send her back to Zhuhe County to execute her "in public display".

On August 2, Zhao Yiman was taken on a train to Zhuhe County (now Shangzhi City). She knew that the Japanese army was going to shoot her. At this time, she thought of her son who was far away in Sichuan. She asked the escorting police officer for pen and paper, and wrote a tear-jerking suicide note to her son: "Mom, it's really a pity that you failed to fulfill your educational responsibilities."

Because of her determination, she The struggle against Manchuria and Japan has begun, and today has reached the eve of sacrifice.

I hope you, Ning'er! Become an adult and comfort your underground mother! When you grow up, I hope you will not forget that your mother died for the country! "

The Chinese people will always remember the tragic anti-Japanese deeds of the female national hero Zhao Yiman.

After the founding of New China, Zhu De inscribed "Revolutionary Hero Zhao Yiman Martyr" for Zhao Yiman With the inscription "Immortal", the city of Harbin named a main street where she fought as Yiman Street.
