General Zhao Dengyu was born in 1898 in a peasant family in Zhao Jialou Village, Duzhuang Township, Heze, Shandong Province, his family was poor, only a few acres of thin land, his two older brothers failed to go to school, and when he was seven or eight years old, he entered a private school for two years. Forced to drop out of school due to poverty. Hard life, honed his will and character, in his later life, can not be afraid of hardship, not afraid of hardships.
Heze has always been a famous martial arts town, and there are many folk martial artists. In 1910, he and his brother worshiped Zhu Fengjun, a famous martial artist in his hometown, as a teacher, and in less than a year, fists, knives, guns, and sticks were all hot; and together with the folk martial arts, it was the martial virtue of seeing righteousness and courage and performing righteous deeds. He was bold and fierce, and his evil was as evil as a vendetta. Time passes year after year. By 1914, when Zhao Dengyu was sixteen years old, he had grown into a big man, and this year, he and his brother Zhao Dengyao, Zhao Xueli and Zhao Dequan of the same village left their hometown and traveled west together.
Zhao Dengyu and his party walked on the road for more than 10 days, came to the ancient city of Tongguan, and voted for the 16th Mixed Brigade Feng Yuxiang as a soldier. Zhao Dengyu was divided into three battalions and two companies in the first regiment, and the company commander was General Tong Linge, who later martyred with him.
Martial arts is a subject that Feng Yuxiang focuses on, and Feng himself is a master of swordplay. Zhao Dengyu's strong physique, exquisite martial arts, and simple personality made him extremely prominent among soldiers and was very appreciated by his superiors. In 1916, the 16th Mixed Brigade returned to Langfang, where he was favored by Feng Yuxiang and transferred to his side as a personal escort.
Zhao Dengyu's kung fu, in addition to fighting tigers and making a name for himself, also lies in his courage to capture Guo Jian, the "tiger" in the crowd.
In 1921, Feng Yuxiang led his troops to re-enter Shaanxi, defeated Chen Shufan, and served as the overseer of Shaanxi.
One day, Feng's superior, Lu Jianzhang, found Feng Yuxiang, and as soon as they met, they cried and said, "Yuxiang, you have to take the breath!" Feng Yuxiang was inexplicable, and Lu Jianzhang explained how Guo Jian, the local armed leader in Shaanxi, humiliated him with his martial arts and force, and if he did not breathe, he would not be blind. Feng Yuxiang listened, was angry and annoyed, and promised to teach Guo Jian a lesson on his behalf.
Feng Yuxiang had seen Guo Jian, who looked like a tiger with a bear's waist, and had both the sturdiness of the northerners and the sensitivity of the southerners. Guo Jian is famous for playing in the ring, and in the Shaanxi area, he has not yet met an opponent. Later, he pulled up a team, served as the general of the regiment himself, stole chickens and dogs all day long, and oppressed the people, and no one dared to provoke him. What he didn't expect was that he didn't even pay attention to Feng Yuxiang, the boss.
Feng Yuxiang originally wanted to send troops to recruit and suppress, but the division was unknown. If a regular army goes to fight a township regiment, what will others say! Although it is to eliminate harm for the people, after all, there is Lu Jianzhang's affairs in it, and it is not good to pass it on, and Lu Jianzhang's affairs cannot be made public. It seems that it can only be closed privately.
The ancient story of "Hongmen Feast" inspired Feng Yuxiang, so he made an invitation to Guo Jian.
Guo Jian has long admired Feng Yuxiang as a good man, and now he is a party overseer, see Feng Yuxiang's invitation, where is the reason not to go! But Master reminded him that Feng Yuxiang was an overseer, and why he invited him to a banquet was probably deceitful. Guo Jian patted the invitation and said: "Isn't it written very clearly above, ask me to consult on martial arts and discuss the great cause of expanding the army and building Shaanxi." I have no grievances with Feng Yuxiang in my past life, there is no hatred in this life, and he can't turn his face to me. Besides, with my Guo Laohu's martial arts, I am afraid of him? Guo Jian agreed to go to the banquet.
On this day, Feng Yuxiang ambushed a class of people behind the screen, planning to capture Guo Jian during the banquet. Zhao Dengyu stood at his side as Feng Yuxiang's bodyguard.
Guo Jian did indeed believe what he said and went to the appointment as scheduled. He did not lead the team, but only selected two close members with better martial arts to follow him. The guest and host sat down, greeted each other, and the cook served wine and dishes, so the two of them took the cup, came and went, calling brothers and brothers, so it was not lively. Guo Jian is also really a drunkard, and it is amazing to drink wine. Feng Yuxiang had seen a lot of wine arrays, like Guo Jian's drinking, he really had never seen it. In order to get Guo Jian drunk and catch a turtle in an urn, Feng Yuxiang had to go out and give up his life to accompany the "gentleman".
The two men's drinking momentum amused the group of ambush soldiers behind the screen, who forgot their duties, forgot where they were, and competed to see the two from the gap. He scrambled over, I squeezed over, the small screen could not withstand the wind, only to hear a thud, the screen fell to the ground, a group of people were all exposed.
"Take it down for me!" Feng Yuxiang had no choice but to give the order.
A good Guo Jian, as soon as he saw that the momentum was not right, he knocked down a group of people with three punches and two feet. In the blink of an eye, it flew out a few feet away. This annoyed Zhao Dengyu, who also swept out and caught up with Guo Jian.
Guo Jian's left and right had been captured by the ambush troops, leaving Guo Jian, who happened to be opposite Zhao Dengyu. Poor Guo Jian, this ring master. This "Guo Tiger", who dominated the side, was actually planted on the hands of a stinking boy after a few moves.
Zhao Dengyu did such a thing later. In 1925, Feng Yuxiang sent Liu Yufang to Gansu. In order to cut off the local tu emperor Li Changqing, Liu Yufang invited Li and all the middle and higher-ranking officers in his department. Li Changqing was originally a famous boxer in Lanzhou, and in order to subdue him, Liu sent Zhao Dengyu to quietly enter the table as a messenger soldier, approach li Changqing, kick him down, and ambush him, and the pistol team immediately rushed into the banquet hall and disarmed all the Officers of Li Bu. By this time, he was already the battalion commander.
Zhao Dengyu served as a loyal defender by Feng Yuxiang's side for 6 years, and he deeply understood Feng's military training style. In 1922, he was appointed platoon leader. In 1924, he became a company commander. In 1925, he became the battalion commander and performed the above-mentioned magnificent drama. In 1926, he became the head of the regiment and accompanied Sun Liangcheng out of Gansu to aid Shaanxi and relieve the siege of Xi'an. In 1927, he became a brigade commander, went east out of Tongguan, conquered Henan, and made outstanding achievements along the way. In 1928, he was appointed commander of the 27th Division, transferred to the Song Zheyuan Department of the Fourth Front, captured Fengxiang, and suppressed the giant bandit Party Yukun. In 1929, the Kuomintang army was downsized and returned to the 28th Brigade Brigade Commander. In 1930, Chiang Feng Yan fought in the Central Plains, serving as the commander of the 25th Division of the Fourth Road Song Zheyuan Division of the Feng Army, and braved the rain to raid Guide, shocking Chiang Kai-shek. After the defeat of Feng Yuxiang's army, Zhao Dengyu led his troops to follow Song Zheyuan into Jin.
On January 3, 1933, the Japanese army invaded Shanhaiguan, North China was threatened, the news came, the commander of the 29th Army Song Zheyuan ordered the immediate mobilization of the troops the next day, limited to the 10th to complete the preparation, and ordered the troops to carry out pre-war training in drug prevention, air defense, and fortifications.
Since 1931, the 29th Army has been training with Japan as the enemy and has been practicing its killing skills. Due to the lack of equipment in the troops, the soldiers were again equipped with large knives, and the knife training was particularly remarkable. The traditional spiritual education of the Northwest Army on "not disturbing the people, being truly patriotic, and vowing to die to save the country" has been inherited in this unit. In 1932, during the "128th" Songhu War of Resistance, the 29th Army sent personnel to Shanghai to learn the combat experience of the 19th Route Army and other units. In September of that year, Zhao Dengyu's brigade moved from Shanxi to the province of Cha, and directly felt the threat of Japanese invasion of China. At this time, the opportunity to kill the enemy and report to the country came, and the soldiers were excited, but they heard the sound of killing in the barracks, and there was a great tendency to be unstoppable.
On January 6, the 29th Army, in accordance with the instructions of the Beiping Army Branch, decided to take Zhao Dengyu's brigade as the vanguard and drive to the east of Beiping, and the rest of the units followed suit and prepared for battle.
In February, the Japanese invaded Rehe, defeated the defenders of Rehe, and continued to attack the Great Wall, and the Great Wall Resistance Broke Out.
On February 23, Zhao Dengyu was ordered to advance, initially reinforcing in the direction of Lengkou, and on March 8, he changed his order to take over the defense of Xifengkou. After Zhao Dengyu was ordered, the Governor's Department advanced in the starry night.
At noon on March 9, the 217th Regiment of the vanguard of the Zhao Brigade quickly rushed to Xifengkou. At the time of receiving defense, the advance team of the mixed brigade of the Japanese 24th Army attacked Xifengkou with the cooperation of more than 10 armored vehicles, and the original defense department retreated one after another, and the Japanese army attacked the northeast highland of the mouth, and then developed the attack in depth to the front, and the vanguard of the Zhao brigade immediately threw itself into battle, occupied it for several hours, repelled the frontal Japanese army, and once recaptured the upper northeast highlands.
Zhao Dengyu rushed to the front line that night, checked the enemy's situation, and ordered the 217th Regiment to hold the frontal position, the first battalion of the 218th Regiment out of the left, and the second battalion out of the right side to attack the Rear of the Japanese Army in a roundabout way. At about 1:00 a.m. on the 10th, the attacking troops carried large knives and attacked the Japanese camp at night. When the Japanese army fell asleep, the large knife was already crossed in the neck. The 29th Army was unable to suppress Japanese fire because of its small number of artillery pieces and fighting during the day, and suffered heavy casualties. Night attack melee is able to avoid the enemy's long, and backward rifles, large knives in the night to show their might, hours of fighting, hacked hundreds of Japanese troops, recaptured more than 10 machine guns, burned more than 10 Japanese receiving vehicles.
In the battle at Xifengkou, the 29th Army played a mighty battle, and as a large knife team led by General Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division of the 29th Army, it cut out the heroes, cut out the backbone of the Chinese nation, cut out the Chinese held the fire in his heart.
After the "Seven Seven Incidents", in mid-July, Zhao Dengyu was ordered to lead his troops north and change defenses with the 37th Division. The Japanese army stepped up the reinforcement of troops, expanded the situation, planned to invade and occupy Pingjin, the 29th Army ordered Zhao Bu to reinforce the night, on July 27, Zhao Dengyu took the lead in the regiment to rush to the Tuanhe River, was attacked by the Japanese army, Zhao Bu Cangpao responded to the battle, lost more than half, and arrived at the Southern Wanjun Headquarters that night. On the morning of the 28th, the main force of the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on Nanyuan with the support of dozens of aircraft, which was really a fierce and cruel battle. After the enemy planes, artillery bombardment, the entire force was beaten to pieces. Flesh and blood. In the decades that Zhao Dengyu had been a soldier, he had also fought many hard battles and vicious battles, but he had never been so passive as nanyuan. He did not understand his old company commander Tong Linge, in the city, can not dig bunkers, can not dig trenches, can not build fortifications, everywhere is a house, plus there is no air defense equipment and weapons, the enemy's planes are coming, dry and anxious, unlike in the field, there is no block in the field, machine guns can also hit planes, the dense houses in the city, the sky is divided into small pieces, the planes come, only to see the shadow flash, they can not see, just hear the explosions, the collapse of the houses, the cries of people.
Zhao Dengyu lost more than half of his team when he was in Tuanhe, the gas had not yet subsided, and when he encountered this indiscriminate bombardment, a ball of fire went straight out, and every time the enemy rushed up, he always grabbed the machine gun of the machine gunner to sweep, completely forgetting that he was a general.
At noon, his old company commander Tong Linge told him that his superiors ordered them to move to the Big Red Gate, "Well, I will lead the team to open the way in front, and you will follow." Zhao Dengyu said.
Zhao Dengyu inserted a large knife in his back, two pistols around his waist, and a submachine gun in his hand. The big knife was given to Feng Yuxiang before he returned to Hidden Taishan, and it was this big knife that cut the devil at the mouth of Xifeng and blew the devil's fear.
"Brethren, rush." Zhao Dengyu took the lead and rushed out. It was hard to tear a gap in the besieged iron barrel enemy position. Suddenly, Zhao Dengyu was shot and wounded in the right arm, and his subordinates wanted to take him out, he sternly stopped it, and continued to lead the team forward, and after a while, he was shot in the legs and abdomen, he remembered the words of the Shaolin monks, afraid that it would be difficult to escape this disaster, the messenger soldiers wanted to carry him down, he refused, he said to the messenger soldiers: "Leave me alone, there is still my old mother in Beiping City, tell him the old man' home, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, her son died for the country, and he is worthy of the ancestors." ”
Zhao Dengyu was supported by the messenger soldiers and continued to move forward with difficulty.
"What about my big knife?" Zhao Dengyu asked.
"Commander, it's still on your back." The messenger said.
"Take it off and give it to me."
The messenger took down the large knife. Zhao Dengyu held and stroked. A strange light shot out of his eyes.
Another round of bullets came from the front, several messengers fell in response, and Zhao Dengyu's chest was also hit by several bullets. He wanted to brace himself with a large knife. But in the end, because the injury was too serious, he fell down. Zhao Dengyu was martyred at the age of 39. He died a terrible death. In his arms, he held the beloved knife.
