During the "Jason Wu" War, the war between xifengkou and Tanshui Valley was fierce. The 29 army broadsword team bravely defended the country and sacrificed their blood. They cut off this magnificent situation from the devil's head with an ancient magic weapon-broadsword, which is described incisively and vividly in this "documentary". It can really be said that Liuhe was shocked, and the ghost cried and touched. I wonder how modern young people who are living such a colorful, quiet and comfortable life will feel after reading this article.
However, in any case, this passage praises the soul of Jason Wu.
The 500 warriors of 29 army broadsword team reflected the spirit of looking back on death in the national ruin.
Therefore, this magazine is collecting descendants of Shang Yunxiang, a teacher of Xingyimen, and Li Yaochen, a teacher of san huang artillery, who are good at practicing "Five Elements Knife Method" and "Infinite Knife Method". We can put these two kinds of knife methods into words and publish them in Jason Wu, so that everyone can see the strange knife method of "the broadsword is cut off from the devil's head".
The lyrics "Sword Cut off the Devil's Head" come from "March of the Sword". This song, full of lofty sentiments, has been widely circulated since War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, telling a soul-stirring struggle. 1in the spring of 933, the Japanese invaders invaded the Great Wall, and the 29 army broadsword team of the national army raided the enemy camp at night, and achieved an inspiring victory since September 18. Zhao is a heroic anti-Japanese warrior. He was widely praised by the masses for his major events and became a national hero in the eyes of the people all over the country. Zhao Dadao Team is famous in China because of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. The broadsword team cut out the severity of the squadron and cut out the backbone of the Chinese nation.
Poor equipment, relying on broadsword
Xifengkou, where the fighting took place, is now a submerged Great Wall pass. After the "September 18th Incident", the Japanese army completely controlled the northeast, and then the Japanese army went all the way south. 1February, 933, Japanese troops invaded Jehol province (now Hebei, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia), and provincial chairman Tang Yulin fled without fighting. At the beginning of March, the Japanese army had occupied the whole Jehol and approached the Great Wall. At that time, the China army stationed here had low fighting will and could not fight any more.
On March 1933, He succeeded Zhang Xueliang as the chairman of the Northern Branch of the Military Commission of the National Government. He reduced the Northeast Army to four armies, with Wan Fulin, Yu Xuezhong, He and Ren Jun as commanders. Seeing the Japanese army's fierce offensive, he learned that the Northeast Army alone could not stop the vanguard and spirit of the Japanese army, so he asked the Nanjing government to increase the number of the Northwest Army. So the 29th Army of Song Dynasty stationed in Shanxi was transferred to the east of Beiping, and He appointed Song as the commander-in-chief of the 2nd and 3rd Army Corps in North China. In this way, the Great Wall will have the strength of seven or eight armies.
Song Jun's veteran is Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. 1930 In the Central Plains War, Feng Yuxiang was defeated, and some scattered troops of the Northwest Army retreated to Shanxi. After reorganization by Zhang Xueliang, the 29th Army was formed, with Song as the commander, and under its jurisdiction, the 37th Division, the 38th Division of Zhang Zizhong and the 2nd Division of Liu Ruming. Feng Zhian Division has two brigades, Zhang Zizhong Division has three brigades, and Liu Ruming Division has only one brigade in Li Jintian. The officers of Song Yuan Zhejun were all hand-picked and trained by Feng Yuxiang. They inherited the tradition of hard training of the Northwest Army.
Song and others have patriotic ideas and put forward the slogan "The gun is not inside". Some officers also visited the Anti-Japanese War of the 19th Route Army in Shanghai, and conveyed the experience of defeating the Japanese army to the soldiers. After hard training, the whole army has gained considerable scale and combat effectiveness. The only fly in the ointment is that the weapons are old and inferior. Hanyang rifles and muskets in the army each account for one third, and the other part is a local gun bought from Sun Dianying. Guns are obsolete and it is difficult to replenish ammunition. There are only a dozen wild guns and mountain guns in the whole army, but there are only more than 100 heavy machine guns. Each company has only two light machine guns, and the rifles have no bayonets. So we have to carry forward the tradition of the Northwest Army and let the soldiers carry broadswords. The soldiers sought melee and night fighting, bravely rushed to the Japanese army and cut off the head of the devil with a big knife.
In Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, the equipment of this "miscellaneous army" is far less than that of the Central Army, but their fighting spirit and tenacious fighting style are beyond the reach of many Central Army troops. These officers and men, from the Northwest Army to 29 army, usually train with the Japanese army as their imaginary enemy. When they were ordered to move from Shanxi to Jidong, defend the front line of North China and prepare to fight against Japan, all officers and men loved their motherland with great enthusiasm and strong fighting will. He ordered the Song army to go to xifengkou, Tangu and Malanyu of the Great Wall to resist the Japanese attack.
Professor Li Yaochen's "infinite knife" knife method
The broadsword used in the Northwest Army is a traditional sword in China, with long handle, wide blade and oblique tip, which is very beneficial to chopping. Feng Yuxiang also hired a group of martial arts masters and preset a set of knife methods suitable for dealing with enemy bayonets for the army to practice frequently. As a result, the broadsword originally used for emergency has become one of the important weapons of the Northwest Army.
Li Yaochen was born in 1876 and died in 1973. Li Yaochen started as an escort, teaching Peking Opera master Yang Xiaolou Monkey Boxing, and teaching fencing to Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang. During the Japanese invasion of China, Li Yaochen was appointed as the chief martial arts instructor in 29 army, and later presided over the famous "Beijing Jason Wu Sports Research Association".
When Li Yaochen was hired as the chief martial arts instructor in 29 army, he had a power of attorney. The power of attorney is about 40 cm long and 30 cm wide. However, this power of attorney, which is enough to witness history, was burned by Li Yaochen himself during the Cultural Revolution.
Tong Green, deputy commander of 29 army, is very kind to Li Yaochen. It was General Tong who hired him as the chief martial arts instructor in 29 army. People who practice martial arts can serve the country and are worth visiting all over the world. 193 1 year, at the invitation of General Tong, he packed up his bags and left Beijing to follow General Tong to Yangquan, Shanxi Province for training.
193 1 Li Yaochen, as soon as he took office, combined the characteristics of broadsword used by 29 army soldiers with the traditional Liuhe knife method in China, creating a unique "endless knife" knife method for 29 army. This knife method consolidates the idea that a knife is a knife and can be split; A knife is also a sword, which can be stabbed.
Li Yaochen thinks that the backbone should be transferred from 29 army to form a broadsword team, and the technology of "endless knives" should be taught directly, and then passed on to the officers and men of the whole army. This idea was highly affirmed by Tonge Pavilion and finally implemented. A few months later, the broadsword team began to pass on the practiced "endless knives" to all officers and men.
The "Infinite Knife" used by 29 army is carefully preset: its length is similar to that of a sword, about one meter long; The blade surface is not as wide as the traditional machete, but slightly wider than the handle; The traditional knife is single-edged, while the gratuitous tip is double-edged, and the ground near the handle is only single-edged; In order to make it easier for soldiers to use force, the handle of the headless knife is 8 inches to 1 foot long, which can be held by both hands at the same time and cut at the other side.
The method of "endless knife" is: when feeding the knife, the blade hangs down and the blade faces itself. When lifting the knife, the back of the knife knocks open the rifle, and at the same time, the blade draws an arc forward, just cutting the opponent's neck. Because chopping is an action, the opponent was caught before he could defend himself.
The 29 army broadsword team gave the Japanese a headache. To this end, they changed their tactics and equipped every soldier with iron rings. In the battle of Fengtai, the China army was surprised to find that all Japanese troops wore iron collars. However, the heavy iron ring greatly weakened the Japanese army's combat agility, and the casualties became more and more serious.
"Endless knives are amazing!" Li Yaochen's son Li Qinggen recalled: "This' endless knife' was cut on the enemy's head." Later, the first sentence in Laura Mai's "Sword March" was "The sword is cut on the head of the devil!"
In the Battle of xifengkou, the broadsword team of the 29th Army went through fire and water many times, raided enemy camps at night and killed hundreds of Japanese devils. Li Yaochen and his "Infinite Knife" became famous immediately.
The broadswords left their names in xifengkou.
Song led the Ministry of Military Affairs from Jixian to Zunhua, and He Jifeng, the first brigade commander of the Life Division, led two tiger riding sheds to start ahead of time, and then the Division and Zhang Zizhong Division improved. They travelled day and night and arrived at the foot of the Great Wall in xifengkou on March 8th. Xifengkou is a wide valley mouth. The Great Wall bends from east to west, gripping the throat. Taniguchi extends a path to the south and north, which can accommodate two people walking side by side. He Jifeng arranged the team, and Liu Zizhen, the deputy division commander, arrived on horseback, conveying Feng Zhian's order: "The military department sent a notice that the Japanese army is only 30 miles away from xifengkou and is expected to arrive here in more than two hours. Mr. Feng wants you to prepare for the struggle as soon as possible. "
A shell flew in and exploded not far from the cavalry battalion. He Jifeng raised his telescope and saw about 2,000 Japanese troops crawling in the direction of Mengziling, north of xifengkou, under the protection of 12 armored vehicles. Before the main force of the Song army arrived, the cavalry battalion began to engage with the Japanese army. In less than half an hour, the Japanese army occupied the top of Mengziling Mountain. He Jifeng stood on the boulder and said loudly to the officers and men: "Brothers, look, the enemy is ahead. If you don't destroy them, they will destroy us. Life and death matter. Brothers, go! "
When the Japanese saw China's troops coming, they shot wildly with machine guns, and bullets poured like water into the cavalry battalion. Shenzhou soldiers pulled out the broadsword on their backs, roared into the enemy lines, and fought fiercely with the Japanese army. The Japanese command flag was cut, and a large number of Japanese troops died by the sword. Since the Japanese invasion of China, I have never seen such a heroic China army, which was scared to retreat. The cavalry battalion completely controlled the Mengziling Highland.
On March 9th, Zhao led his troops to rescue xifengkou and fought hard with the Japanese Tochigi Division. After three days of fierce fighting, xifengkou changed hands several times, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Zhao's left leg was also injured by enemy shells.
On the morning of March 1933 and 10, the main force of the 37th Division of the Shenzhou Army in 29 army arrived, and the main force of the Japanese army also reached the battlefield. The two sides coiled around several highlands outside xifengkou and launched a fierce battle. After several days of fierce fighting, more than 20 troops suffered heavy casualties. Feng Zhian, commander of the 37th Division, and Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 38th Division, believe that the Japanese army has absolute superiority in weapons and equipment, and 29 army must attack the enemy's rear by surprise if it wants to win. So, everyone focused on the broadsword, the most commonly used special equipment in 29 army. The 29th Army sent Zhao of the 109th Brigade to direct the surprise attack.
On March 10, knowing that the enemy was resting, he immediately called the head of the regiment and the battalion commander for a meeting and decided to raid the enemy camp at night. He said excitedly: "It is the bounden duty of a soldier to resist Japan and save the country. Only by not being afraid of sacrifice can we win glory for our country. " Zhao Dengyu led the whole brigade with a leg injury and a wooden stick, braving the heavy snow, and suddenly appeared around the enemy's tent at the moment after the urgent March. The soldiers brandished broadswords and bayonets and rushed from left to right, even stabbing, which caused great losses to the enemy and seized a large number of weapons.
At that time, before the broadsword team set sail, the commander-in-chief of Song personally saw off the 500 warriors. Facing these fearless warriors, Song was deeply impressed. His years of combat experience told him that few of the 500 warriors could come back alive. 500 strong men walked past Song one by one. Suddenly, a monitor named Hou Wanshan knelt in front of Song and burst into tears. Song said sternly to the monitor at that time: Why are you crying and kneeling? Are you a soldier in China or from the northwest? If you are afraid of death, go find someone else! Hou Wanshan said to Song with tears: Commander, I am not afraid of death. We won't be vague about fighting devils. It's just that my wife is going to have a baby. If I die this time, orphans and widows will ask the commanders for sympathy. I will die with my eyes closed! After hearing this, Song said to Hou Wanshan, "Don't worry. Your son is my son. Song said to the 500 warriors: Brothers, go, we will protect your families. Then Song gave a solemn military salute to 500 people. Hou Wanshan has stood up at this time, gave a military-like salute to Song Jing, and rushed to the front line without looking back.
In this battle, Hou Wanshan did die heroically. The comrades around him recalled that Hou waved a broadsword and cut seven Japanese troops in a row until all the broadswords were rolled up and could no longer be used, and he was shot and sacrificed. Later, Song really recognized the twins born to Mrs. Hou Wanshan as parents and brought them back to the Song family to raise them. In order to commemorate his father's sacrifice in Tangu, xifengkou, Song named them Song Jifeng and Song respectively. At the age of 18, the Song family restored Hou Shi out of respect for Hou Wanshan!
Considering that the Ministry suffered great losses in previous battles, only Wang Changhai's regiment was relatively complete, so he put the East regiment of the 38th Division under his command. On the evening of March 1 1, Wang Changhai and Dong selected 500 soldiers who were good at fencing and hand-to-hand combat in their respective regiments to form a broadsword team, with only broadswords and grenades, and the rest of the soldiers were protected by fire. On March 12, Dong's delegation first came to Sanjiazi Village and Qianzhangzi Village in Little xifengkou outside the Great Wall. That night, it was a good opportunity to fight the midnight oil. There is a Japanese army here. Our cavalry are camping, and the streets are full of horses, and the Japanese are sleeping soundly. The broadsword team quickly completed the Japanese sentry and rushed into the Japanese barracks with broadswords. First, a Grenade was thrown, and then it was cut with a big knife while the Japanese army was in chaos. The Japanese army was caught off guard, and many people somehow became ghosts under the knife. The broadsword team set fire again. Other Japanese saw the fire and rushed to reinforce. However, at night, Japanese planes and artillery can't play a role. Although Japanese soldiers began to receive assassination training from joining the army, they did not have any advantage in front of the heroic broadsword team of the Northwest Army.
When the East Regiment fought a large number of Japanese troops, Wang Changhai Regiment also rushed to the enemy artillery positions such as Wolf Cave and Baitaizi. The broadsword team once again showed its great power, captured enemy positions in one fell swoop, hacked to death more than 0/00 Japanese artillery who were sleeping, and seized a large number of artillery and ammunition. The attack of the two armies made the Japanese army very frightened. They quickly mobilized a large number of troops to counterattack. Undeterred, the outnumbered broadsword team continued to fight against the Japanese army. Subsequently, the broadsword team burned the Japanese army's supplies, blew up the captured artillery and armored vehicles, and evacuated from the battlefield under the protection of the follow-up troops. Xifengkou won by a landslide.
A broadsword player who wants to see a woman's "mother"
There was an episode during the expedition of the broadsword team. A soldier rode up to Zhao and whispered, General Zhao's face suddenly changed. Then he stared at the big sword team that was about to set sail, and then someone brought an old lady and her daughter from a mountain village.
Everyone doesn't know what happened. Zhao's voice is painful. He condemned: "I'm sorry for the elders here, and I'm sorry for Mr. Feng's teaching. We didn't meet the enemy today, so evil people appeared in our army. I won't kill the devil, but I will kill this thing with loose morality. "
The soldiers were puzzled. I don't know who General Zhao Dengyu is talking about.
On a snowy night, General Zhao's autumn waters seemed to catch fire. He said, "Just as the assembly number was sounded, a brother of our army actually touched a private house to harm other girls. How can a 17-year-old girl find her husband's family in the future? As soon as the horn blew, the thing ran away. The girl dared not say, but her mother insisted that he was one of us! At this moment, he is standing in the parade! "
At this time, the snow has frozen and the air seems to have stagnated.
Zhao sharp eyes like a knife to take off the skin until the bone marrow, "an egg shaped thing in the crotch is no fun. Who did this? Dare to stand up? That's the guts! The eggs in the crotch should jingle, not be stung! Stand up if you have the guts. " Everything seems to be still.
The girl took her aunt and whispered, "Mom, he didn't touch me. He just said, look. He ran away as soon as you called him! "
"Come out. If you have a mother, think of your mother; If you have a daughter, think of your daughter. Be able to face them bravely. Stand up, I Zhao Jing, you are a hero. " Zhao put his fists in both hands, and his left hand pressed his right hand on his chest, like carving it on a stone.
Snowflakes rustled on the uniform.
"Well," Zhao sneered, "then take off your coat and show your neck." Aunt said that her daughter scratched that bastard's neck. "Brush, zhao tore his collar.
At this time, a soldier "plopped" at Zhao's feet. Many people can't believe it. It was Zhao Dengyu's guard who touched the girl. Zhao stood there, his mouth began to tremble: "I am blind and have raised a beast." Tie it up! Cut it! "
The guards are only eighteen years old. They are children brought out by Zhao Cong. Everyone looks at each other and doesn't know how to deal with them.
The guard waved and tears welled up in his eyes: "Commodore, I didn't mean to hurt that girl. I just ... "
"Just what?"
"I will meet the enemy at night, dead or alive. I have never seen a woman's mother (Cao Zhou dialect: breasts). "
"Mom?" Everyone is restless. Zhao lambasted: "Bastard, shame!"
The mother and daughter were also shocked. Just then, everyone knelt on the snow, only Zhao and the mother and daughter stood upright. The gray-haired mother took her daughter, ready to kneel down and plead for the guard. Who knows that when many people knelt down, the girl unbuttoned her cotton-padded jacket and unbuttoned her clothes layer by layer. In the snow, many people marveled at the autumn water, a pair of tender breasts appeared shyly, and the soldiers were dizzy.
Zhao was deeply shocked!
In the corner of the snow, the girl's jade milk is so delicate and holy, because of malnutrition, a pair of graves on her chest are not full and firm. In the hundreds of pairs of autumn waters of the dead, there is no retreat, no indecency, but a magnanimity of calmly saying goodbye.
"salute!" Zhao Dengyu buttoned his riding boots with tears in his eyes, and all the death squads saluted, and tears welled up.
General Zhao knows that if it weren't for the war, these soldiers would have walked into the bridal chamber in their hometown, but they would never make such a low-level mistake on the eve of the battle. Zhao Dengyu walked past the guards kneeling in the snow without saying a word. The mother and daughter lifted the guards up and looked at the autumn water. The general seems afraid to look at his mother and daughter. With a wave of his arm, xifengkou's light gray outline looms under the snow.
His broadsword team started on a snowy night.
The next day, the broadsword team came back, the general rode to check on his soldiers, and the body of the guard was carried through the team. Zhao Lizheng saluted, and all the brothers stood silent. The horn of mourning sounded. The general ordered his men to bury the body of the guard, and then said sadly, "The success or failure of this battle is not a battle between brothers." Let's think about that aunt and girl. "
The general paid the aunt 200 yuan, but the aunt and daughter committed suicide.
Zhao, captain of the broadsword team.
The reputation of the 29 th Army broadsword is that General Zhao led the army with one knife and one knife, and the knife was cut by the Japanese aggressors! Zhao is from Heze, Shandong Province, with a height of1.90m.. He only studied in a private school for two years. At the age of 65,438+03, he learned from the famous local boxer Zhu. After three years of hard training, he learned a good martial arts, which is almost impossible for more than a dozen people. 16-year-old Zhao, accompanied by his brother Zhao Dengyao and two friends, walked more than 900 kilometers to the 16 Huncheng Brigade of Feng Yuxiang in Lintong, Shaanxi Province as an unpaid deputy soldier.
During a training session, Feng Yuxiang heard that Zhao had learned martial arts, which made him wrestle with himself. As a result, Zhao competed with Feng Yuxiang three times in a row. Feng Yuxiang, who made a fool of himself in public, was overjoyed and asked Zhao to be a bodyguard. Once the troops were training at the foot of the mountain, a tiger suddenly jumped out of the forest. The soldiers were shocked and didn't know how to deal with this fierce beast, but they saw Zhao shout at top of voice, slaughter the mountain army with his bare hands and paralyze the tiger with several heavy punches. At this time, soldiers gathered around to help, punched and kicked and killed the tiger. Later, Feng Yuxiang was very surprised when he heard about it, and personally gave Zhao the title of "General Tiger Fighting". From then on, Zhao's military career began to shine. With the military and Feng Yuxiang's cultivation, Zhao was a monitor, platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, colonel and brigade commander, and became a teacher at the age of 30. /kloc-In the Central Plains War that broke out in 0/930, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army failed and was reorganized into the 29th Army by Zhang Xueliang. Zhao's 25th division was downsized to the 109 brigade, and he was also "demoted" from the division commander to the brigade commander.
Xifengkou's victory in the night raid made Zhao and his broadsword team famous. At that time, in recognition of Zhao's outstanding achievements, the government awarded him the highest medal, expanded the 109 brigade into 132 division, re-promoted it as a teacher, and awarded him the rank of lieutenant general. Zhao Xuefen, Zhao's daughter, has always kept two remakes of Zhao's photos during the Battle of xifengkou: one is a full-length uniform photo with a white bandage on his left leg, and there is a small note on the left: "After his left leg was injured, he volunteered, and the left-wing Panjia attacked Zhao in the enemy camp at night", and on the right there is Zhao's quotation: "Being injured in the body is a small commemoration, and dying in the vast battlefield is a big commemoration"; The other is a half-length military uniform photo, which reads "Zhao, 37th Division 109 Brigade Commander, 132 Division Newly Promoted Teacher", which is obviously praised and promoted as a souvenir.
After the September 18th Incident, Zhao has always advocated resisting Japanese aggression. The 109 brigade led by Zhao was transferred to Peiping for training to prepare for the Japanese army. 1in April, 937, he returned to his hometown in Heze county, Shandong province from Nanyuan, Beiping, and prepared to recruit a student team of 120. At the invitation of three schools in Heze county, he gave a speech to the students, encouraging them to go to school well, defend their country with knowledge and resist Japanese aggression. He said confidently, "Japanese weapons are better than ours, but we have broadswords and we will definitely fight hard." His speech deeply touched the students.
1On July 7th, 937, the Japanese invaders attacked the Lugou Bridge on the pretext of looking for the missing soldiers, and China's army rose to defend itself, and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out. Wang Shijiang, a 99-year-old veteran, recalled that on the afternoon of the 8th, the Japanese army charged under the protection of chariots and armored vehicles. When it was thirty or forty meters away from the front of the position, the battalion commander gave the order and the gunfire was Gawaine. "At that time, the in the mind this time! We can catch up! " "Change the big blade and go!" The soldiers threw away their hats and attacked with knives. "Japanese devils are most afraid of big blades." You have to hold the bayonet in both hands, but you can cut it with a big knife with one hand, and you can free up one hand, so you are more agile. "He said that this time, the enemy was defeated. 1 1 In the early morning, Jin, the battalion commander of the third battalion of Jixing Cultural Group, led the broadsword team to set sail with another reinforcement battalion. At 2 am, the two sides fought fiercely on the railway bridge. Chen Yong, 19-year-old broadsword player, hacked to death 13 Japanese soldier, and took one alive. The Japanese soldiers were frightened out of their wits and knelt down to beg for mercy. The assembly horn sounded, but the broadsword players still didn't assemble, and bloody people chasing Japanese soldiers with broadswords could be seen everywhere. Everyone neglected to clean the battlefield, and the hidden enemy blew up the lower limbs of battalion commander Jin with grenades. After two hours of fierce fighting, a squadron of the Japanese army was wiped out, most of the broadsword team was killed and the railway bridge was recovered.
On July 26, Zhao Feng, the commander of the army, was ordered by Song Dynasty to lead his troops to Nanyuan, where he stayed in Peiping with Tong, the deputy commander. In the early morning of July 28th, the Japanese army concentrated three infantry squadrons, 1 artillery regiment and more than 30 planes, and launched an attack on Nanyuan military camp with only 7,000 people. Zhao led his troops to a bloody battle with the Japanese for six hours, and suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of enemy planes and artillery. At noon, Song ordered Zhao to assemble at Dahongmen. Tong and Zhao's retreat plan was handed over to the enemy by traitors. The battle quickly fell into chaos, and in the retreat, they caught up with the Japanese ambush. When Zhao's garage arrived at Dahongmen Bridge, it was suddenly strafed by Japanese machine guns. Zhao was shot several times and covered in blood. He said to the soldiers who passed the orders around him: "I will not be fine. My duty is to let the soldiers die in the vast yellow sand. There is nothing to be sad about. " It's just that my mother is too old to be frightened. Please arrange it for me. Besides, I have no other ideas. "Say that finish, a generation of anti-Japanese star stopped breathing, only 39 years old.
After Zhao died, the fighting continued, and the soldiers hurriedly buried him in the sorghum field. After the war here, 29 army and some soldiers of 132 Division moved his body to Longquan Temple for burial, and were afraid to write his name for fear of being destroyed by the enemy. In this way, the body was preserved in Longquan Temple for 9 years. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the bodies of some anti-Japanese martyrs of Zhao and the 29th Army were moved and buried beside Lugou Bridge. At that time, when 29 army was stationed at Lugou Bridge, it was said that 29 army would rather play you damn fool than conquered people, and Lugou Bridge was 29 army's grave. According to this meaning, Zhao and his brothers who fought together are buried here.
On July 3 1937 and 3 1 day, the national government issued a commendation order to posthumously award Zhao as an army general, so as to "preserve the more important events in his life and declare them to the history museum". After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the heroic bodies of General Zhao and the 29 th Army anti-Japanese martyrs were moved and buried next to Lugou Bridge. From 65438 to 0946, all walks of life in Peiping held a memorial ceremony for Zhao, and named "Zhao Road" in Peiping as a memorial. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the Central People's Government issued a martyr's certificate signed by President Mao Zedong to the family of General Zhao. Zhao is one of the few generals praised by both sides.
After the Battle of xifengkou, which greatly inspired the national army and the people's anti-Japanese enthusiasm, Japanese generals repeatedly lamented that this battle had lost the "reputation of the imperial army". After the Japanese army returned to Chengde, it claimed that this was an "unprecedented shame" since the Japanese invasion of China. A Japanese newspaper commented: "Since the founding of Emperor Meiji, the reputation of the imperial army has been completely lost outside xifengkou and humiliated for 60 years."
Since the Japanese invasion of Northeast China, they met with slight resistance, undressed and slept at night, and their security was lax and their attitude was arrogant. After the attack, everyone in the Japanese army slept in clothes, and some even wore helmets at night to avoid being beheaded. This battle created a precedent for the broadsword team to attack the Japanese army at night and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army. Since September 18, the rewards of countries hit by the loss of teachers and land have been greatly improved. Mr. He Xiangning wrote several poems praising the exploits of the 29 th Army, among which Ode to the Great Sword said, "If you are clever, you will use a big sword, but if you are old, you will be clever." Crouching tiger, hidden dragon, the enemy will not escape within ten steps. "
The more important events of the heroes of 29 army broadsword team spread all over the motherland, which greatly aroused the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people of the whole country and deeply shocked Laura Mai, who was only 23 years old when he joined the anti-Japanese national salvation movement in Shanghai. In front of his eyes, there was a heroic scene of the broadsword team waving broadswords and fighting with the devils. Young composers were filled with emotion, excited and inspired, and a broadsword March was born.
"Knife rest to the devil's head, the brothers of the 29th Army, the anti-Japanese day is coming, the anti-Japanese day is coming! There are volunteers from the northeast in front and people from all over the country behind. Our first 29 army is not alone. Keep an eye on the enemy and destroy it! Destroy it! Let's go The sword was cut on the devil's head and killed them! " This is the broadsword March, with the subtitle-Dedicated to the 29 army Broadsword Team.
With the full opening of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the "Brothers of the Twenty-ninth Army" in "March of the Sword" was changed to "Brothers Armed All over the Country". "The broadsword was cut at the head of the devil" became the cry of national peril.
I hope I can help you.
