On June 6, 1938, the forward position of Zhongtiao Mountain - Mogou.
This north-south direction, more than ten meters deep, tens of kilometers wide, and seven kilometers long, is erupting into an earth-shaking battle.
Inside the headquarters of the 38th Army Guard Regiment, an officer was pacing back and forth, he was Zhang Hengying, the leader of the Guard Regiment, and also the actual commander of this battle, behind the Mogou was the 38th Army Headquarters, once the Mogou was lost, the military headquarters was in danger, so Zhang Hengying must firmly hold the Mogou.
Zhang Hengying joined the army at the age of 19, in 1937, the Battle of Niangziguan, the 17th Division of Zhao Shoushan fought a bloody battle with the enemy, the troops did not exist in one, zhang Hengying's first battalion hit only one squad, which can not be described as tragic. Zhang Hengying was a general who was very good at fighting hard and hard battles, and because of this, Zhao Shoushan, commander of the 38th Army, would let him stick to Mogou.
Just then, a soldier rushed into the headquarters of the guard regiment and reported: "Commander, the devils are attacking our position with artillery!" ”
Zhang Hengying had a serious face and said, "Pass on the order, everyone will hide in the fortifications and wait for the favorable opportunity to fight again!" ”
The soldiers took the order and rushed out of the headquarters.
The adjutant said: "Commander, our regiment has been holding out for several hours, and now the casualties are very large, are you considering retreating?" ”
Zhang Hengying shook his head: "We must not withdraw now, once we retreat, the 38th Army will be attacked by the enemy in the abdomen, if the command center is destroyed, then the troops will be in danger!" ”
The adjutant was silent.
The rumbling of artillery came from outside the headquarters, and Zhang Hengying clenched his fists and said, "Even if the whole army is destroyed, we must hold the position!" ”
After that, the Japanese army stopped shelling and sent infantry to attack, Zhang Hengying ordered a counterattack, a fierce blow to the enemy, and finally repelled the enemy. The Japanese army could not take the position of Zhang Hengying's regiment for a long time, and became angry and angry, gathered its troops again, and launched an attack on the Mogou position with the support of aircraft and artillery, but under the strong defense of the guard regiment, the Japanese army could not make a breakthrough, and the bottom of the Mogou ditch left a large number of Japanese corpses. It is worth mentioning that at that time, the Mogou position was also the only position that had not been breached by the Japanese army.
After this battle, regimental commander Zhang Hengying was awarded the "First Class Medal of The Army, Navy and Air Force".
However, it was such a general who had made great achievements in battle, but after the victory of the War of Resistance, he suffered unfair treatment, that is, in 1946, Chiang Kai-shek, in order to strengthen the control of the miscellaneous troops, transferred a large number of the main generals of the miscellaneous troops out of the command post, at that time Zhang Hengying was also "promoted" to the deputy brigade commander of the major general, in this way, his military power was deprived, and he became a light pole commander.
In 1948, Zhang Hengying, in a fit of rage, defected to the CCP, and he returned to his hometown to engage in counter-insurgency work, successively plotting against Xue Shaolong's department and the former Nationalist Government's Twelve Townships Township Mayors' Association. In February 1949, Zhang Hengying was ordered to form the Weinan City Defense Command, and served as the deputy commander, after which he entered Weinan alone to negotiate with the enemy commander Wu Wei and persuade Wu Wei to revolt.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Hengying served as a member of the Weinan County Government and the head of the industrial and commercial section, and from 1955, he served as the vice chairman of the Weinan County CPPCC Committee, and in 1968, Zhang Hengying died of illness at the age of 62. Such an anti-Japanese hero and anti-Japanese general ended his legendary and great life.
