Japan was originally an island nation living in the sea, but after the Meiji Restoration, it rose rapidly, defeated China and Russia one after another, and became an Asian power that attracted the world's attention.
The rise of Japan caused a huge shock in China, and Chinese young people who did not want to fall behind fled east to Japan, hoping to find an independent, prosperous and strong path for China there. And soon formed a social trend, so that "samurai swords and Japanese wives" in a short period of time became a common pursuit of the talents of the Republic of China.
Japan has had ambitions to invade China since ancient times, and after its rise, it wants to annex China. A large number of young people of the Republic of China who stayed in Japan moved the Japanese people's hearts, secretly giving them small favors and bribery. Some people without national integrity were really impressed, threw themselves into the arms of the Japanese, and later became traitors spurned by the Chinese people. However, the overwhelming majority of young people embraced the ideal of saving the country and the people, did not lose their national integrity for private interests, and resolutely fought against Japan's aggressive acts after returning home.
The name Xie Fang is a bit unfamiliar to everyone, but if you talk about the chief of staff of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it is familiar.
Xie Fang is a native of Jilin in northeast China, with excellent grades since childhood, and was admitted to the famous Fengtian Third Middle School in northeast China at the age of 15.
The reason why Fengtian No. 3 Middle School is famous, the high quality of teaching is an important reason, and more importantly, its student status. Those who study here are the children of high-ranking officials and rich people in the northeast. Although Xie Fang's father is also a businessman, he only makes a small deal, and Xie Fang is unremarkable in front of the children of those high-ranking officials and rich people. But he has excellent grades, is proficient in everything, and is an all-round talent.
Xie Fang's academic performance was not generally excellent, but so good that Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueming, and Rong Zhen (chief of staff of the Northeast Army) competed to give his sister and sister-in-law to him.
In 1927, without the knowledge of the Xie fang, he was named by Zhang Xueliang and sent to the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School to study military affairs.
Being sent abroad to study is a very difficult thing, to go through a lot of examinations, screening, and like Xie Fang, students who have not passed any exams and are named to study abroad are even fewer.
Xie Fang is still the best in the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, and in the graduation examination, he used the pen as a sword and won the first place. The narrow-minded Japanese felt that there was no face and forced him to be demoted to third place.
After returning from japan, Xie Fang naturally became a pivotal figure in the Northeast Army, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Zhang Xueming, Zhang Zuolin's second son, to serve in the Tianjin Municipal Public Security Bureau.
After Xie Fang took office, he vigorously straightened out Tianjin's public security brigade, eliminated soldiers and lawbreakers, re-recruited young people with healthy minds, and drew veterans with combat experience from the Northeast Army as backbones.
On November 8, 1931, Zhang Zuolin's third son, Zhang Xue, was married in Tianjin. At 10 o'clock that night, the plainclothes team of traitors who had been bribed by the Japanese rushed to various key units in Tianjin in an attempt to provoke an incident. The xiefang received the secret report in advance and was waiting in a solemn position, and when the traitor's plainclothes team approached, it decisively ordered the police to open fire, and the traitor immediately fell a large piece.
The next day, the Japanese, who were not willing to accept defeat, made a comeback and pulled out cannons and armored vehicles to cheer them up, and the traitors were even more aggressive, as if they wanted to avenge yesterday's arrow.
Xie Fang commanded the police to hold their breath, and when the traitor advanced to within 30 meters, he immediately threw a dense grenade, and the machine gun also fired fiercely. The ranks of the traitors were suddenly filled with blood and flesh, the cries of wailing and screaming were incessant, and the Japanese ronin and the soldiers in the countryside who were mixed in with the traitors were also punished as they deserved.
This was a brave battle for Chinese against the Japanese, and although it was small, it was very pleasant.
Until then, Chinese had been passively beaten in front of the Japanese, swallowed their anger, and dared not come out of anger, did not dare to speak, and had no dignity to speak of. The forcible occupation of the three northeastern provinces has shattered China's mountains and rivers, displaced people in the northeast, and turned tears into bitter water. In the eyes of the Japanese, Chinese did not dare to fight against them at all.
But this time, the Japanese army encountered a hard stubble, and a small police team dared to fight with them, and it also fought very fiercely, causing them unprecedented casualties.
The Japanese army instigated a larger attack more than ten days later, but the result was a disastrous defeat by the xiefang. Japan, which had suffered defeat, proposed negotiations in an attempt to force China to submit by means of intimidation, and the xie side came to the negotiating table and fought with the Japanese army in fluent Japanese.
The Japanese tossed and turned for more than a month, did not get any cheap, but lost soldiers, and finally had to end hastily.
The Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School has "trained" a large number of soldiers for China, and these soldiers have always broken their ties with Japan after returning home and have always been polite to Japan. However, only the solution was not the slightest courtesy to Japan, and the fight was merciless and very fierce. Even Kenji Toihara, a famous Japanese secret agent, said that he did not expect two: "I did not expect the students to beat the teacher so hard, and I did not expect the Tianjin security team to do such resistance."
After Xie Fang heard about it, he immediately asked people to bring words to Tufei: "China is not India, and Tianjin is not The North Camp." (Peking University Camp, the garrison of the elite 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army, occupied by the Japanese army during the 918 Incident).
Tu Fei is a famous "China Tong", proficient in Chinese, familiar with Chinese geography, customs and folk customs, but his two "unexpected" are too superficial.
All he had seen before was a small number of Chinese that had been temporarily unarmed. The Chinese nation, on the other hand, contains tremendous combat effectiveness. Everyone can strike at the Japanese like the Xie Fang, and every group and every unit can stubbornly resist like the Tianjin Security Brigade. Once this kind of combat power broke out, the saliva could drown the little Japanese------ an ordinary Tianjin security team, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses. How much does the solution know?
Since then, Xie Fang's reputation has become famous, which has brought hope to the Northeast Army who has been exiled in the interior to return to his hometown in the northeast, and has also advanced his bright future within the Northeast Army. However, he abandoned this bright future and went to Yan'an to become an Eighth Route Army satisfied with "red rice and pumpkin soup".
The solution was knowledgeable, logical, and quick-witted, and soon shined in his position as chief of staff. By 1949, he was the chief of staff of the Shino 12 Corps. When the People's Liberation Army advanced to Guangxi, he was preparing to cross the Qiongzhou Strait and liberate Hainan Island. As a result, the "Tide Table" on the streets of Nanning about the customs and customs of Hainan Island, the two sides of the Qiongzhou Strait, and even the "Navigation Manual" of the Qing Dynasty Admiral were all bought by him to concentrate on studying.
In the campaign to liberate Hainan Island, Han Xianchu's determination was crucial. If it were not for his strong insistence on crossing the sea before the valley rains in 1950 (around April 20), Hainan Island would have been very hanging.
In addition to Han Xianchu's determination, The strategy of the solution is also indispensable. At that time, he was responsible for the specific planning of the sea crossing operation, from the selection of the time and place of the fleet to the formation and firepower configuration of the fleet when crossing the sea. Later, when crossing the sea, whether it was a small force smuggling or a large force crossing, it was orderly, there was no chaos, and everything was in his plan. This is a huge challenge for a general who has never made a transitional sea combat plan, let alone experienced transitional sea combat, but the solution party has done it perfectly.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Xie side once again assumed a heavy responsibility and served as chief of staff of the Volunteer Army.
In North Korea, if peng Dehuai's most important person is Deng Hua, then the second person to rely on is Xie Fang. In each major war, he advised Peng Dehuai and was known as "Zhuge Liang". During the armistice negotiations, they fought with the representatives of the "United Nations", often dismissing them as dumb.
Li Kenong, who has been doing special work for a long time, highly praised him, and Peng Dehuai even said to the people around him many times: "After returning to China, I will recommend 'Zhuge Liang' to the premier and let him do diplomacy.
Not only did we praise him, but our opponents also praised him from the bottom of their hearts and deeply admired his wisdom. Helms, an expert on U.S. military history, said that "the solution side is resourceful and daunting at the negotiating table."
