Zhong Yi, 190 1, was born in changsha village, Funan County (now Fusui County) on September 24th. His father Zhong Xitang () was admitted to Guangxu Jinshi and became the first person in the Zhong family to become famous. Later, he taught in a library in Nanning, and his family was well-off. His mother Jin is a farmer. Zhong Yi has two younger brothers: Zhong You (commander of Kuomintang) and Zhong Xie (county magistrate of Funan County of Kuomintang); There are three sisters: Ren Kun, Kun Li and Wei Kun. Brothers and sisters can go to school, which is considered a scholarly family. In the early years of the Republic of China, my father went to Nanning to set up a school library, studied with his father, and studied the Four Books and Five Classics and Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals. He is talented and accomplished in poetry and calligraphy. He can write at a young age and talk about world affairs, which is especially loved by Mr. Zhong Lao and the elders in the village. When he was a teenager, he was famous for mulberry trees.
19 14, Zhong Yi was admitted to ji yang Primary School in Funan County. He studies hard at school, respects teachers, is generous and brave, and with excellent grades, he is often among the best in arithmetic, music, physical education and other subjects, winning the praise of the school and the support of his classmates. At this time, his parents returned home from Yong and set up a private school in Changsha village. Every time Zhong Yi comes home from the county seat on holiday, he goes to a private school to guide students to sing, practice exercises and draw pictures, and lead students to do activities such as arithmetic and race walking, which makes students think more actively and learn faster, and wins the love and praise of students and elders. He has a strong patriotism and worships national heroes such as Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang. Every summer when he returns to his hometown, he teaches the young people in the village to sing and practice gymnastics. His favorite song is Yue Fei's Man Jiang Hong, which is immortal.
19 17 In the summer, Zhong Yi graduated from ji yang Primary School and was admitted to Guangxi Provincial Third Normal University with excellent results. At that time, this normal school was the highest institution for training teachers in Guangxi. Besides exempting students from tuition fees, it also provides meals, clothes and books to encourage students to study. But this school only recruits one new class and 50 places every year. Therefore, during the examination, thousands of students gathered in Tancheng to take the examination, and it is difficult for people without real talents to be admitted. Zhong Yi, who took the exam, ranked third in one fell swoop, and was known as "a talented person in southern Fujian".
19 18 During the summer vacation, Zhong Yi felt that his school was behind other schools in Guangzhou and Shanghai, and decided to leave Nanning for Guangzhou. He wanted to enter a famous university at that time, but his academic qualifications were very strict and he was rejected. At this time, he heard that Mr. Liang Pei, a fellow countryman who was a member of parliament in Nanjing, lived in Guangzhou, and knew that his father and Liang Pei were fellow scholars in the thirty years of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. He was overjoyed and asked him to recommend him. Liang attached great importance to his hometown friendship and was the son of an old friend, so he readily agreed to introduce him to the Guangdong Mint as a clerk. While working, he waited for the opportunity to enter the school. Soon, Guangdong Shaoguan Jiangwutang enrolled students, and Zhong Yi immediately took the exam. Because of his excellent grades, he was highly valued by the headmaster Li (a native of Yunnan). Two years of school training is the moment when warlords scuffle and struggle, and the situation is turbulent. Zhong Yi witnessed the embarrassment of state affairs, the tyranny of outsiders, and the hardships of the people in Guangzhou, and resolutely decided to join the army, abandon martial arts, and apply for Wujiang Guild Hall. After passing the exam, he was admitted. Since then, I have embarked on a military career.
In A.D. 1920, Chen Jiongming, a warlord from Guangdong, went south from Fujian and expelled the forces of the old Gui clan from Guangdong. Lu Rongting, an old warlord in Guangxi, originally presided over the opening of Wujiang Pavilion. Now that we have been defeated, we will move the guild hall to Hainan Island, and the graduation formalities for students will come to an end. But none of these graduates were hired by Chen Jiongming, so they had to go their separate ways. 1920, Zhong Yi graduated from Wujiang Guild Hall in Shaoguan. At that time, warlords scuffled and factional struggles were serious, so Zhong Yi could not be reused. He returned to his hometown-Changsha, Funan County. After he returned to his hometown, he continued to delve into various military works. He wrote a poem in his study: a man leaves the countryside with a sword, and he will never return it without cutting Loulan. He was so relieved in the central area that he had to arm himself in the mountains.
192 1 In the spring of, Zhong Yi returned to his hometown of changsha village via Qinlian. He posted the word "Yuan Zhe" at the door of the study in dismay, and wrote a couplet to encourage himself:
"I am determined to listen to the chicken dance in the Central Plains; Determined to create the situation, the horse is vertical and horizontal. "
An indoor poem:
"When a man goes to the countryside,
I won't give it back until I cut Loulan.
Taixi Zhongyuan is long and swaying,
Contact mountains and rivers with one hand. "
Poetry expresses ambition, in which he expresses his ambition to take the world as his own responsibility. During his hometown, he was unwilling to be idle. Usually, he not only cares about the production and life of the masses, but also educates them to reform bad customs, such as opposing arranged marriages and girls waiting to be married. At the same time, he also opened night schools for boys and girls, which not only improved the cultural level of the masses, but also inspired their patriotic thoughts. At that time, bandits were rampant in society. In order to ensure the safety of the village, he advocated that the whole village should build city walls and gates to resist bandits, and personally compiled and trained able-bodied men to arrange vigils.
192 1 autumn, he was introduced by a friend and served as a lieutenant and adjutant at Liu Zhenhuan, commander-in-chief of Guangxi Army. The following year, Liu failed, and Lin Junting was appointed as commander-in-chief and transferred to the Forestry Department as the mid-team leader's staff. In the winter of the same year, he was appointed as the second army commander by Hunchenglv Brigadier Lu. He first went back to his hometown to recruit new soldiers, and then he was trained as an army. He was ordered to return the organizational system to your county (now Guigang). When he led his team to Nanning, he suddenly received news that he was defeated by Ding from Li Zongren. He felt that he could not take refuge, so he returned to his hometown with his team and announced his dissolution. Zhong Yi once again works part-time at home, and has more extensive contact with society. His house was renamed "Liu Fang Pavilion".
1924 65438+ 10, with the help of the international representatives of * * * production, Dr. Sun Yat-sen held the first national congress of the Kuomintang in Guangzhou, and formally decided to implement the three major policies of "uniting with Russia, uniting with * * * and helping the peasants and workers" and accept the revolutionary thought of * * * production party against imperialism and feudalism, which marked the beginning of the. At that time, Zhong Yi was inclined to Sun Yat-sen's "Three People's Principles" and devoted himself to the revolutionary road. This year, Li Zongren and Huang captured Nanning, the capital of Guangxi. Li and Huang's troops are mostly young officers with high morale and a brand-new lineup. Graduated from Shaoguan Guild Hall and has been a colonel in the Yellow Department. In the past, he was very friendly and invited Zhong to help. Zhong Yi was invited to be the captain and company commander, and immediately went to Liuzhou and Guilin. After the war to eliminate Lu Rongting and the remnants, Zhong was promoted to major battalion commander with outstanding military exploits. At that time, due to years of military disasters, Guangxi was badly weakened, production was depressed, and bandits were rampant. The provincial government sent Zhong Yi led the troops to Longzhou, responsible for suppressing bandits and appeasing people's livelihood. After Zhong arrived in Longzhou, he held urban and rural people's meetings respectively, earnestly warning everyone to unite and cooperate, help each other and live together. A few people who have gone astray, as long as they turn over a new leaf, concentrate on business and let bygones be bygones, later promulgated relevant laws and regulations. Thanks to his effective implementation, the bandits quickly subsided and the society gradually stabilized.
1July, 926, when the Northern Expedition began, the Guangxi Army was reorganized into the Seventh Army of the National Revolutionary Army and went north to resist Japan. Zhong Yi led a heroic battle, established the meritorious military service in De 'an Ma Huiling, and was promoted to be the head of the Third Regiment of the Seventh Army. 1July, 926, with the cooperation of both sides, Guangdong and Guangxi sent troops to participate in the Northern Expedition, Guangxi was incorporated into the Seventh Army of the Northern Expedition, and Li Zongren was appointed as the commander and incorporated into the battle sequence. In less than half a year, the Northern Expeditionary Army was in full swing, and successively conquered Changsha and Wuhan, and then reinforced the friendly troops in Jiangxi to the east and attacked the Beiyang warlord Sun. The battle of Ma 'an Huiling's Seventh Army on the south bank of the Yangtze River forced the enemy to retreat one after another and won the famous "De 'an victory" in the history of the Northern Expedition. The Seventh Army in Guangxi was called the "Army of Steel", and Zhong Yi was promoted from the battalion commander to the head of the third regiment of the Second Brigade of the Seventh Army.
1927, after the Northern Expedition Revolutionary Army conquered Jinling (Nanjing), Chiang Kai-shek rebelled against the revolution and launched the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup. The cooperation between the two parties in this country split for the first time. In order to consolidate his sphere of influence and strengthen army building, Zhong Yi was transferred to Li Zongren as a colonel's staff officer. 1In July, 927, the warlord Sun led tens of thousands of troops to cross the river, and under the command of He and Li Zongren, he fought bloody battles with the enemy in Longtan area for several days and annihilated the enemy. Since then, the power of the warlord Sun has collapsed.
1933, Li Zongren appointed Zhong Yi as the captain of the military training of the Colonel of Wuzhou No.4 Middle School, and later transferred to the military training director of Guangxi University. 1934, Zhong Yi was admitted to the special second phase of the Kuomintang Army University for further study. He studied all kinds of military art theories assiduously, studied the strategies and tactics of modern operations, and strived to be profound and never complacent.
Shortly after Zhong Yi graduated from the Army University, Japanese imperialism launched an all-out attack on China. Under the banner of the United front of the two parties, the national army and civilians rose up, and Zhong Yi volunteered to kill the enemy to repay the national humiliation. At this time, the anti-Japanese army in Guangxi was expanded and the 3 1 army was established. Zhong Yi was appointed as the major general of the 4/0/4 brigade of the 3 1 Army 138 Division, and led the army northward to resist Japan.
1936 12 February 12, the security incident that shocked China and foreign countries occurred. Zhong Yi actively supported the second cooperation between the two parties to unite against Japan. In August of the following year, the people of China started a full-scale war of resistance. 3 1 Army was established in Guangxi, and Zhong Yi appointed Major General of 138 Division 4 14 Brigade as Brigadier. 1 1 June, 2008, went north to resist Japan and defend the Jin-Pu section.
1In the spring of 938, the 3 1 army, which held fast to Mingguang and Fengyang, was attacked by the Japanese, and the 4 14 brigade was the first to bear the brunt. After several days of fierce fighting, due to the disparity in equipment and inability to resist the enemy's superior firepower, he was ordered to turn to the Huaihe River. In the retreat, Zhong Yi witnessed the scattered people along the way and was deeply moved. He wrote two poems to express his ambition:
"In the middle of the night, the world is faint, and the Central Plains cries all over the world;
It is expected to make a comeback and call back the soul of hometown in World War I. "
"The four sides are busy retreating, and the Japanese army is crossing the river;
Close your eyes and wipe out the enemy on Huai River, and the window rises with a firm but gentle moon. "
/kloc-in the summer of 0/938, the battle of Taierzhuang ended successfully, and troops marched into eastern Hubei to defend Wuhan. In June of 5438+10, the troops drove to Xishui, and Zhong Yi was promoted to 173 division commander. After Wuhan gave up, 173 division retreated to Xiangfan area to defend Laohekou, where the headquarters of the Fifth Theater was located.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/938, the defence war in Wuhan started, and Zhong Yi was ordered to move to eastern Hubei to serve as a combat mission to stop the Japanese army. Zhong Yi led all the officers and men to repair fortifications day and night and store ammunition. In fierce battles, he often went to the front line to direct operations and calmly responded to various complicated situations in the battle. Because of his good command, all the officers and men fought to the death, blocked the advance of the Japanese army and completed the combat tasks assigned by their superiors. Zhong Yi was promoted to Lieutenant General of the 173rd Division for meritorious military service. After the Battle of Wuhan, the 173 Division was ordered to retreat to Xiangfan in northern Hubei, under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Theater, and defend the Laohekou of the Fifth Theater Command.
1939 12, China army launched a winter offensive to attack Japanese strongholds. General Zhong Yi commanded 173 Division to fight bravely, and successively swept the Japanese strongholds in Anlu and Zhongxiang, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army. After the task is completed, return to Huan Tan and pass by Pinglin Store. It is said that Pinglindian is a prosperous place of Hanwu, and Zhong Yi has been there, which is deeply touched. I hope to destroy the Japanese aggressors as soon as possible and return my rivers and mountains. I wrote the following poems with the theme of "reminiscing about the past in Pinglindian":
"The fire morality of the Han family has not completely failed, and the rise of Lin Ping Kuang Daicai;
Before you visit Doushan Mountain, you will put the stars together and drive the map to Dawang Temple.
A hundred years of imperial legacy, Wan Li full of momentum;
My eyes are full of worries about the sun, and I have to wear a uniform when I go to Japan. "
Troops returned to Huan Tan, HQ stationed in Qiaojiazhai, and each regiment defended Sui and Zao lines respectively. During April 1940, the Japanese invaders invaded the defense line of the fifth war zone in northern Hubei again, concentrated six or seven divisions and regiments, equipped with a large number of armored vehicles and cannons, and cooperated with the Air Force to launch the second Suixian and Zaoyang campaigns in an attempt to attack the anti-Japanese armed forces in the fifth war zone. At that time, the 84th Army under the command of Huang Qixiang of the 1 1 Army had 173 Division (division), 174 Division (division) and 189 Division (division under the control of the west), and stuck to Suixian and Zaoyang. Due to the disparity between the enemy and ourselves, Zhang and Ling were ordered to retreat to the south of Henan, and the 173 division was responsible for the cover. Zhong Yi commanded the soldiers to deal with the enemy, copy the enemy's lines of communication and fight hard.
The Battle of Zaoyi on Hubei Anti-Japanese Battlefield is one of several major military battles that the Kuomintang faced on the Anti-Japanese Battlefield after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered the stalemate stage. In retaliation for the fiasco of World War I with Zaohe, the Japanese army concentrated five divisions and wiped out the main field army in the fifth theater in northern Hubei. In this campaign, my patriotic anti-Japanese officers and men fought bloody battles and stubbornly blocked the Japanese invaders, which caused great losses to the invading Japanese army, and shattered the Japanese army's attempt to destroy our Hubei field army, cover Wuhan under its occupation, open the way to attack western China and force the anti-Japanese government to surrender. At the same time, our country has also made great sacrifices in the battle, and many patriotic martyrs have emerged. They are not afraid of strong enemies and swear to fight the Japanese aggressors to the end and die for their country. General Zhong Yi, the division commander of the 84th Kuomintang Army137th Division, is one of them.
At that time, three divisions of the 84th Army 1 1 led by General Huang Dianxiang were ordered to serve as the frontline positions of Suixian and Zaoyang on the Xianghua line. General Zhong Yi commanded the soldiers of 173 Division to fight bloody battles, and the bodies of the enemy were everywhere, with rivers of blood. Because of my weak firepower, all the soldiers were killed or injured. On May 5th, the elite troops of the joint arms of the Japanese army broke through the defense lines of the neighboring troops of 173 Division in an attempt to outflank our main force. In order to smash the enemy's plot, the military department instructed the 173 division to act as a defender to contain the Japanese army, cover the main force to withdraw to the front line of Tangxian Town, and concentrate on Zaoyang.
Zhong Yi tomb
On May 6th, the Japanese aggressors gathered in Tangxian County and pounced on 173 Division. 173 division was helpless and suffered heavy losses, so Zhong Yi had to lead the rest of the soldiers and retreat while fighting. On May 8, when Mr. Zhong arrived near Cangtai, the border of Henan Province, he was chased by Japanese cavalry. The two sides fought hand-to-hand and killed into a ball, and the team was out of control. On May 9th, there was only one guard platoon left for Mr. Zhong. He would rather die than surrender, and led the guards to fight fiercely with the Japanese army for two hours. The ammunition and food were exhausted, and the officers and men were exhausted. General Zhong was seriously injured in his right chest, and his front chest was stained with blood. Zhong Yi was shot in the right chest and was seriously injured. He tenaciously supported him and ordered the soldiers to break through quickly. When he was dying, he wrapped up his war materials, letters, diaries and seals, buried them in the nearby reeds, and then shouted, "The Chinese nation has risen! The war of resistance will win, and the founding of the country will win! " Finally, I was killed and I was loyal to my country. Zhong Yi led 173 Division and Japanese Fujita Division fought a bloody battle for 7 days and 7 nights, and was seriously injured. Being outnumbered and exhausted, he died heroically to avoid being captured by the enemy. 1940 at 3: 40 pm on May 9.
