He was originally the commander of the cavalry regiment of the Nationalist Army, who led 300 men and horses to defect to the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was one of the two senior generals who died in the Siping Offensive and died for the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army. After his death, the head of Higashino, Lin Zongzong, personally drafted his "Detailed Sketch Calendar" and was posthumously recognized as a "Hero of Liaoji".
He was Ma Renxing, who was the commander of the Independent 1st Division of the Western Manchurian Column and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Liberation Siping Front.
Ma Renxing, a native of Pingxiang, Hebei Province, was born in 1904, after graduating from the Kaifeng Officer School, he served as a soldier in Feng Yuxiang's department, and successively served as the director of the Political Training Department of the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Northwest Army, the staff officer of the 3rd Cavalry Division, the chief of staff of the regimental colonel, the chief of staff of the division major general, and the commander of the 28th cavalry regiment of the 14th Brigade.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ma Renxing led his troops to participate in the Battle of Lanfeng and the Defense of Zhoukou, and made many military achievements. On April 15, 1940, he led the whole regiment to revolt in Linxian County, announcing that he would break away from the nationalist camp and join the Eighth Route Army.
Under the premise of national unity and cooperation against Japan at that time, such a thing should not have happened. However, due to the erroneous policies of the Kuomintang, it led to what should not have happened.
In the winter of 1939, in the name of resisting Japan, the Kuomintang constantly created anti-communist friction, which caused many patriotic generals who were enthusiastic about resisting the war to start thinking of defecting to the Eighth Road. During that time, Ma Renxing often received such perverse orders to "Chinese fight Chinese". However, as the commander of the cavalry regiment of the Nationalist Army, although Ma Renxing was full of righteous indignation, he could only resist softly and passively.
Ma Renxing's cavalry 28th Regiment was stationed in Linxian County, Shanxi At that time, pang Bingxun, commander of the 40th Army, learned that the 28th Regiment had a tendency to "reddish", and in addition to close monitoring, he also deliberately clamped down on the 28th Regiment in terms of troop deployment, and at the same time installed cronies in the 28th Regiment to stalk them, and even prepared to disarm the 28th Regiment in the name of inspection.
Ma Renxing is not a fool, and he is naturally very clear about Pang Bingxun's intentions.
On April 15, 1940, after careful planning in the early stages, Ma Renxing decided to lead an uprising. That afternoon, Ma Renxing gathered in the name of the whole regiment's lecture, arranged for the guards to quickly control Pang's cronies and diehards, and cut off all contact with the military and brigade headquarters. At 4 p.m., Ma Renxing led a whole regiment of more than 300 men and horses, ordered the machine gun platoon to be the vanguard, and in the name of carrying out reconnaissance tasks, all the way north along the remote path of the Taihang Mountains. In case of interception, fire with all your might, otherwise you are not allowed to shoot.
In this way, they evaded the layers of blockade lines of the Kuomintang army, rushed out from under the noses of the military headquarters and the brigade headquarters, and traveled more than a hundred miles with a single stroke of courage, and at dawn they successfully reached the county-related boundary where the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was located, and threw themselves into the ranks of the Eighth Route Army.
The head of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army attached great importance to the feats of Ma Renxing and others, and He was highly praised by General Manager Zhu, General Manager Peng, and Chief of Staff of the Left Army.
In order to give play to the effective role of the cavalry regiment, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army decided to merge Ma Renxing's 28 regiments with the former Jizhong cavalry to form the 2nd Independent Cavalry Regiment of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, which was under the command of the Jizhong Military Region. Later, people called the "Jizhong Cavalry Regiment", and Ma Renxing was their first regimental commander.
The cavalry regiment has experienced more than 50 battles, playing the prestige of the cavalry regiment, and once made the Japanese army feel frightened.
Ma Renxing later served as the commander of the 27th Regiment of the 6th Detachment of the Eighth Route Army and the commander of the Jinsui 1st Sub-district, responsible for the defense of Yan'an.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Renxing followed Lü Zhengcao into the northeast and formed the 1st Northeast Security Brigade and served as the brigade commander. In March 1946, Ma Renxing successively served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Liberation Siping Front Command, the commander of the Siping Garrison and the commander-in-chief of the city defense, and the commander of the Independent 1st Division of the West Manchuria Column. In June 1947, Ma Renxing led his troops to participate in the Siping Offensive.
As everyone knows, after our army opened up the northeast battlefield, the Siping Offensive was an extremely difficult battle, and the opponent was Chen Mingren, who later participated in the Hunan uprising. In order to fulfill the tasks assigned to him by his superiors, Ma Renxing led his troops to first break through the enemy's defense line, occupy the western suburban airfield, and completely annihilate the transport battalion and security battalion of the 71st Army of the Kuomintang Army.
But something sad happened. On the evening of June 23, 1947, the division commander Ma Renxing and the political commissar agreed to go out and inspect the terrain. Suddenly, a stray bullet hit Ma Renxing's chest, and Master Ma fell in a pool of blood and never got up again. He was the second general to die on the northeast battlefield after Du Xinghua, commander of the 10th Division of the 4th Column.
After the death of Master Ma Renxing, people from all walks of life in the northeast held a solemn memorial meeting for him; the Liaoji Provincial CPC Committee posthumously recognized Ma Renxing as a "Meritorious Hero of Liaoji," And Lin Zong personally drafted the signature "Detailed Outline of Master Ma Renxing, and the Northeast Administrative Committee and the Northeast People's Liberation Army Headquarters decided to name Siping City Sidao Street as "Renxing Avenue."
Although the hero is gone, his heroic name will remain in the world forever and be praised by the world.
