During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was always a saying: "The people of Hangzhou are afraid of airplanes, and the Japanese are afraid of Zhuji." ”
At that time, the Japanese used planes to bomb indiscriminately every day, which made Hangzhou panic, but this set did not work in Zhuji County, Zhejiang Province, and the Japanese encountered extremely stubborn resistance here.
Zhuji, as an old area of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, is not a small number of anti-war generals, and more than 150 generals have emerged before and after, which is a real "general county", and the general Feng Shengfa introduced today is one of the representatives.
Feng Shengfa was a graduate of the first batch of the Whampoa Military Academy, and because of his excellent grades, he was retained in the school as a platoon leader and district captain of the teaching regiment, and was promoted to major general brigade commander in 1933.
On September 1, 1937, the prestigious 74th Army was established, the commander was Yu Jishi, who was also The nephew of Chiang Kai-shek, under the jurisdiction of two divisions, the commander of the 51st Division was Wang Yaowu, and the commander of the 58th Division was Feng Shengfa, which can be said to be the elder figure of the 74th Army.
Feng Shengfa soon ushered in a highlight moment, that is, the Battle of Wanjialing.
On September 25, 1938, the Matsuura Division of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army broke through the Defense Line of Wutai Mountain of the Nationalist Army and engaged in a fierce battle with our army in the area of Baiyun Mountain in Wanjialing.
This scene is somewhat similar to the plot of the Sakata United in the TV series "Bright Sword", where Matsuura Junroro, who is well-equipped, vainly tries to "blossom in the center" and completely disrupt the deployment of the national army with his own strength. In the face of such an arrogant enemy, Xue Yue was naturally not ambiguous, and mobilized the strength of 12 divisions in one go to besiege Wanjialing.
Among these 12 divisions, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division was responsible for the defense of Shima Cliff, Dunshang Guo, and Wang Jiashan, which was at the weakest point of the entire defensive line, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and once this group of Japanese dogs jumped the wall, this must be the first place for them to break through.
Sure enough, under the huge superiority of the nationalist army, the Matsuura Division was gradually defeated, and seeing that the encirclement circle was getting smaller and smaller, Matsuura Junrokuro had to abandon the established battle plan and turn to the position defended by Feng Shengfa to find an opportunity to break through.
Since the Japanese army had the support of aircraft artillery, it is conceivable how much harm they caused when they concentrated their firepower to attack a little! Less than a day after the battle was fought, the Zhanggushan defense line where Feng Shengfa was stationed was almost blown up, the fortifications were destroyed, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.
Feng Shengfa made a phone call to the military commander Yu Jishi and asked for a temporary retreat to rectify. But before he could finish speaking, he was scolded by a stink on the other end of the phone: "Smash all the troops for me!" One step is not allowed to retreat! ”
No way, who told Old Jiang to watch from behind, once this group of Japanese troops slipped away, I am afraid that the 74th Army would have to be removed from its post from top to bottom!
In desperation, Feng Shengfa had no choice but to put on a man-sea tactic and smashed all the 58th Division's family foundation. Almost before the next day, Feng Shengfa's department was almost completely wiped out, and only a few hundred people were left in the entire division who could still pick up their guns and fight.
Seeing that Zhang Gushan's core position was about to be lost, suddenly a wave of reinforcements injected Feng Shengfa with a cardiotonic agent. It turned out that Yu Jishi knew that the 58th Division, which had suffered huge casualties, could not hold out for too long, so he gritted his teeth and transferred his personal guard battalion.
Although the 58th Division suffered heavy casualties, the Opposite Matsuura Division was also dragged enough, and coupled with the sudden reinforcements, it was even caught off guard and could only shrink to the core area of Wanjialing.
Thanks to Feng Shengfa's desperate battle, the Matsuura Division's vain attempt to break through was completely dispelled, and at the same time, Feng Shengfa's bloody battle also bought time for other troops to realize the encirclement of Matsuura Division.
On October 9, 1938, the last trumpet of the siege of Wanjialing sounded, and the Japanese Matsuura Division was surrounded and annihilated, killing more than 10,000 enemy people, and the Great Victory of Wanjialing was shaken for a while!
In the later War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Feng Shengfa successively served as the commander of the 68th Army, the commander of the 91st Army, the commander of the provisional 9th Army, and the commander of the 66th Army, leading the army to conquer the north and the south, making countless contributions, and even being praised as "one of the Chinese who killed the most Japanese Kou".
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Feng Shengfa withdrew from the military circles and served as the director of the Northeast Traffic Police General Bureau, until the end of 1948, when he was reinstated by the old Chiang Kai-shek as the deputy commander of the 16th Corps.
However, at this time, the overall situation had been decided, and Feng Shengfa was unable to return to heaven, so he followed old Jiang to Taiwan and died of illness in 1957 at the age of 54.
