During the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, due to the disparity in weapons between China and Japan, it was often the Chinese army that suffered losses in battle, and many Chinese army generals died on the battlefield, such as Zhao Dengyu, Hao Mengling, Zhang Zizhong, and other senior generals, but not many Japanese generals were killed.
On the battlefield, being able to kill a Japanese major general is a great battle achievement, such as in the Battle of Songhu for more than three months, a total of 2 Japanese major generals were killed.
The major general who was killed by the militia was Hideki Mori, who graduated from the Cavalry Section of the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School and was promoted to cavalry Daisa in 1930, Hideki Mori was a soldier deeply influenced by militarism, and Hideki Mori's graduation comment was "Courageous, good at swords and horses." ”
He often imagined himself as an ancient samurai, riding horses to kill the enemy, he even imitated a set of ancient cavalry armor, like a turtle shell can be bulleted, Mori Hideki often rode on horseback and wore armor to walk in the streets, a look of glory and might, in the eyes of the Chinese it was a look of lack of collection.
In October 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army recruited a group of hooligans throughout the northeast and formed 5 Jing'an guerrilla groups, and Mori Hideki was appointed as the leader of the squadron, and the Jing'an guerrilla group, under the command of Mori Hideki, swept all the way to Dagushan and other townships and marched towards Zhuanghe County.
After the fierce battle, Mori Hideki led an army to occupy the county seat of Zhuanghe County, along the way a large number of innocent villagers were killed, and the people of Zhuanghe County, who were not willing to be enslaved by the Japanese, united together to form the "Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress", and then united with the red gun association of the people to form the "Big Knife Society".
Everyone elected ju Renqing, a young warrior, as the leader, and the students of the Northeast Army Officer School as sub-leaders, and together they carried the big knife to resist the Japanese, in fact, most of the members of the big knife club at that time were peasants, who farmed in the countryside when they did not fight, and would only gather when they encountered a battle, and it was difficult for the Japanese army to find traces.
In the state of concealment, the big knife will gradually develop to more than 3,000 people, controlling most of the area of Zhuanghe County, in fact, the Japanese army at that time was too small, the Japanese army stationed in the county seat of Zhuanghe county is more than a hundred people, the rest is a puppet army, the big knife will long want to retake the county.
At that time, the Japanese army was afraid of the strength of the big knife society, and the lower ultimatum demanded that the big knife surrender to the Japanese army and disband, which of course was impossible, the Japanese army decided to eliminate the big knife society, Ju Renqing and other leaders decided to preemptively attack, the big knife club launched an attack on the county town, and the puppet army had to ask the Japanese army for help.
Before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the situation of the big knife was not good, and quickly retreated, after the Japanese reinforcements withdrew from Zhuanghe County, the big knife would attack the county town again, so that the Japanese army was overwhelmed, the commander of the Kwantung Army sent Mori Hideki to lead the troops to destroy the big knife society, Mori Hideki had long wanted to make a contribution.
On December 16, 1932, Mori Hideki quickly broke away from the Japanese army with a cavalry of 160 people and took the lead in entering Tuchengzi to stay overnight, and the big knife would suddenly come out in the middle of the night, and the Japanese army resisted with machine guns and mortars.
Ju Renqing personally led 500 elite fighters from behind into the city, the Japanese army was killed by surprise, Mori Hideki tried to escape under the protection of 4 Japanese soldiers, was caught up by the big knife warriors, Mori Hideki wearing armor and spear stabbed, but was stabbed by Mori Hideki more than a dozen fighters.
In the end, only Mori Hideki, who was wearing armor, was stubbornly resisting, and the "knife and gun" Mori Hideki looked a little proud and prepared to escape over the wall, when a warrior found Mori Hideki's weak ribs, his ass was not protected, and the warrior immediately stabbed Mori Hideki's ass with a spear.
According to the "Chronicle of Zhuanghe County" and the "Records of the Death of Officers of the Japanese Army Invading China", Mori Hideki was stabbed in the intestines by a spear and fell out and died, and then Mori Hideki's head was cut off, and Mori Hideki's death shocked the Kwantung Army, and Mori Hideki was posthumously awarded the title of major general and erected a monument for him in Tuchengzi, which is now stored in the "Old Site Exhibition Hall of the Russian-Japanese Brigade Prison".
