The brigade commander learned that the wounded soldiers had been beheaded by the Japanese army, and the female doctors and nurses had been bullied, and ordered the whole brigade to do it
There is a battle in history called the Battle of Taiyuan. The Battle of Taiyuan was a battle of resistance against the Japanese army in cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, although the final defense failed, but the loyalty and fierceness of the soldiers reflected in it made xiaobian moved. If human beings lose their conscience and despise justice, then there will be no warmth in the world. In the Battle of Taiyuan, there was a commander, like the sun on earth, who brought countless morale boosts to this battle, and he was Jiang Yuzhen, the leader of the 196th Brigade, an elite force in Shanxi at that time.
This fierce battle of Taiyuan still needs to be told from the beginning. The source of this Battle of Taiyuan was in the late 1930s, when the Japanese army planned to launch an attack on Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province, leading more than 70,000 soldiers and nearly 200 tanks towards Xinkou. Xinkou was the gate of the north of Taiyuan at that time. Not only that, Xinkou was the only battleground that our army could use for defense at that time. At that time, the situation was very tense, and the unexpected arrival of the Japanese army this time made our army's morale tense, and it was absolutely very difficult to complete this battle. In this embattled situation, in the case of such a huge disparity in strength, I don't know how to be good for a while, and it is far from enough to stick to Taiyuan, and the best way at this time is to take the initiative to attack and try to drag down the pace of the Japanese army to reach Taiyuan to fight.
At this moment of a thousand guns, Jiang Yuzhen stood up, was ordered to lead the elite troops of his 196th Brigade, ready to take the initiative to attack, and start a defensive battle in the front. At that time, the danger of this operation could be imagined, and soon, they quickly advanced to the town of Yuanping, 15 kilometers away from Shanxi City, to ambush and prevent the Japanese army from continuing to advance. In this operation, they only had one sentence in their minds: stick to the town of Yuanping for a week. As a commander, Jiang Yuzhen quickly issued an order as soon as he arrived at the battle site, and loudly and forcefully ordered it no less than three times: If anyone has a little retreat, who dares to take a step back, will be dealt with by military law!
Then he swore that if he retreated, all the soldiers would shoot him. In the face of such an oath, the officers and men of our army joined this battle with a heart of certainty. Jiang Yuzhen led the generals to stage a "empty city plan", pretending that the city was empty, tricking the Japanese army into relaxing its vigilance, and the facts proved that the effect was remarkable; during the reconnaissance, if a Japanese agent was really caught, Jiang Yuzhen immediately put the head of this person down, and hung the head of this agent on the defense wall of the town at that time, using this method to demonstrate to the Japanese army. At the same time, it also boosted morale, and the whole brigade fought with the enemy and drummed up.
Two days later, the Japanese cavalry arrived at the town of Harahei first, and because the soldiers of our army were well prepared, they easily took the entire Japanese cavalry unit and killed them all. This move was a small victory, but the soldiers did not let their guard down at that time, and there was still a difficult battle behind. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Japanese army to come to Yuanping Town with bombers, and under the bombardment of artillery fire and aircraft, the wounds of all the soldiers of the brigade were wounded, the dead were killed, and the losses rose sharply, which was really a very tragic and tense moment, and what was even more infuriating was that the brigade commander learned that the Japanese army not only cut off the heads of the wounded and prisoners of our army, but also did not let go of the female doctors and nurses! Not only was he killed, he was also humiliated.
In the editor's opinion, any soldier with a conscience would not do such a thing, when Jiang Yuzhen also saw this scene very heartache and anger, how could his compatriots be trampled so trampled by the Japanese army. The wicked must have their wicked retribution. So the order was immediately issued: the whole brigade should not be merciful when it encountered the Japanese army again, and it would be killed on the spot. Faced with the extremely ferocious situation of the Japanese army at that time, Jiang Yuzhen realized that if he had a little softness, he would undoubtedly be defeated, and immediately ordered the formation of an elite death squad, even if the entire army was destroyed, he would have to die to defend the town of Yuanping. Under such a resolute insistence, Yuan Pingzhen stood up safely for a week. It is a pity that Jiang Yuzhen died gloriously in this battle. Although Jiang Yuzhen sacrificed, his glorious image will never fall, inspiring and inspiring generations of soldiers.
