History and philosophy have many eternal responsibilities, but at the same time simple responsibilities. - Hugo
At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese army had almost no chance of victory in the face of Japan, and even if we paid a heavy price, we could not stop the Japanese army's attack, and the Japanese army occupied half of China in a very short period of time, which made many Chinese full of despair for the future. However, many Chinese bravely stood up to fight the Japanese and used their own blood to stop the Japanese attack. The Sichuan army was undoubtedly an important force in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and they gave up regional and partisan strife and made great contributions to the War of Resistance.
At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan army was Feng Tiankui, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan army flocked to all parts of the country to resist the Japanese. At the time of the Battle of Taierzhuang, Feng Tiankui's main task was to be responsible for cooperating with Li Zongren's battle plan, and we know that Li Zongren was the leader of the Gui warlords, and the two people were all united by the anti-Japanese resistance at this time. Feng Tiankui's Sichuan army showed the tenacious willpower of the Chinese soldiers, allowing the Japanese army to feel the strength of the Chinese army for the first time.
Feng Tiankui's army, in the case of running out of ammunition, fought bloodily in TengXian and the two divisions of the Japanese army, although it was very difficult, but they did not take a step back, and the Japanese army paid a heavy price and never was able to defeat them. If all these Chinese soldiers were like them, the Japanese might not be able to last so long! However, there were many greedy and fearful of death, such as Wang Ji'an, the commander of the Central Army Division stationed in Lincheng, who was frightened and scattered after the Japanese attack, and quickly led people to withdraw!
Feng Tiankui was very angry after seeing their retreat, so he asked them why they retreated, but Wang Ji'an escaped without any embarrassment, and even said that he was a tactic and left an empty city to the Japanese. Feng Tiankui was even more angry after hearing this, such a statement was really too absurd. Feng Tiankui asked his subordinates: "How to deal with abandoning the city and escaping according to military law?" His men replied, "There is no forgiveness for killing!" After hearing this, Feng Tiankui immediately ordered the people to put Wang Ji'an on the spot to correct the law and improve the morale of the army.
Of course, the reason why this Wang Ji'an was so arrogant was entirely because he was from the Central Army, and Feng Tiankui was just a local miscellaneous army in his opinion, and he couldn't help him at all. Besides, Wang Ji'an had Tang Enbo behind him, so he dared to escape and abandon the people in the city. After Feng Tiankui executed Wang Ji'an, all the soldiers were trembling, they knew that they had to fight the Japanese army to the death, after all, the commander had been shot if he escaped, let alone them! It is precisely because Feng Tiankui and the Sichuan army dare to fight and fight like this that our Chinese army was able to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army in the Battle of Taierzhuang and achieve brilliant results. These warriors who sacrificed for China deserve to be remembered by each and every one of us, on the contrary, selfish people like Wang Ji'an will be left behind for thousands of years!
