At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, a 2,000-man Sichuan Army unit that had experienced hundreds of battles mysteriously disappeared after entering Qinglong Mountain in Nanjing, and no longer knew where to go. Why did they mysteriously disappear? And where did it go? What are the hidden secrets of the depths of the mountains? Next, let's get closer to the mystery of the disappearance of the Qinglong Shanchuan Regiment in Nanjing in 1937!
In 1937, after the defense of Nanjing began, the Nationalist government urgently deployed 200,000 Kuomintang troops to deploy in the surrounding area of Nanjing, vowing to resist the Japanese attack. However, this large unit of the 200,000 Kuomintang army, except for a few divisions that were urgently drawn from Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Sichuan, and many of them had just come down from the battlefield of the Battle of Songhu, and they were too late to rest, and they were already a little tired of fighting, coupled with the fact that the weapons and equipment were not advanced and sufficient, there were only a small number of mortars and grenades, most of which were machine guns and rifles, while the Japanese army had everything, not only conventional machine guns and rifles, but also bombers, armored vehicles and tanks, and even chemical weapons. Therefore, under such circumstances, the Kuomintang army only held out for less than a month, and the city of Nanjing was breached by the Japanese army, and the Casualties of the Kuomintang army were very heavy, and many of them were captured by the Japanese army.
Among them, there was a 2,000-strong Sichuan Army unit, because it was responsible for flanking and vigilance tasks at that time, and it was not in the most intensive place on the battlefield, so it successfully broke through. However, in the face of the relentless pursuit of the Japanese army, in order to preserve its strength, this Sichuan army had to retreat under the cover of night to the depths of the densely forested Qinglong Mountain, which stretched for more than a dozen miles southeast of Nanjing. But what people did not expect was that this 2,000-strong Sichuan Army unit mysteriously disappeared after entering Qinglong Mountain, and no one saw them again.
In 1939, the Nationalist government had deliberately investigated the mystery of the disappearance of this Sichuan army, but only knew that the leader of this Sichuan army, named Wu Xinhua, was originally a subordinate of the Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang, and nothing else was found. Later, the mystery of the disappearance of this Sichuan army was gradually forgotten as the war situation became more and more severe. It was not until 1990 that the Observer magazine in London, England, published a relevant report, calling the disappearance of the Sichuan Army and the collective disappearance of Spanish soldiers a major mystery in the world's military history, and this mystery once again attracted the attention of many experts and scholars and extensive investigation and research, and thus put forward a variety of speculations.
Some people say that the mysterious disappearance of this Sichuan army unit is related to the "black hole" of the earth, which is a gravitational world invisible to the naked eye, and many mysterious disappearances in history that have not yet been solved have been swallowed up by the "black hole". Some people say that it is caused by the space-time tunnel, which is similar to the black hole, but it refers to the fact that after the two major material systems of positive and negative material systems produce gravitational fields, space-time will be partially distorted, so that this Sichuan army army will go to another space-time. But these claims are too sci-fi, so there is no evidence to prove them.
It is said that in the 1970s, when a mining school student in Qinglongshan District was building a mine, several skeletons and some rusty rifles were found in several caves, so later some people speculated based on this rumor that this Sichuan army unit was likely to hide in the cave under the close pursuit of the Japanese army, and finally these caves were destroyed by the Japanese bombing, and more than 2,000 Sichuan troops were forever crushed under the hole. But if this is the case, it is impossible to find only a few skeletons, and some experts who study the defense of Nanjing have quickly overturned this speculation, because in addition to some natural caves, Qinglong Mountain also built a lot of air raid shelters during the war, plus Qinglong Mountain has been a place of contention since ancient times, and under the fierce war situation of the Nanjing Defense War, it is actually very normal for Qinglong Mountain to leave some military remains and military materials. In addition, a few years ago, when an expedition team entered Qinglong Mountain to investigate, it was found that Qinglong Mountain was not a cave large enough to accommodate 2,000 people, and the geomorphological environment of Qinglong Mountain could not form a large limestone cave. It can be seen that the claim that all the troops of the Sichuan Army were buried in the Qinglong Mountain Cave is also unlikely.
After the first three speculations were overturned, an old man named Liu Yihuai attracted the attention of experts and scholars investigating the mystery of the disappearance of the Qinglong Shanchuan Army in Nanjing in 1937. The old man Liu Yihuai once served as a guard for Wang Jingwei, and when he was on a mission, he accidentally found that there was a secret passage in Nanjing that led to the purple mountain outside the city, and there were many skeletons in the secret passage, which should be the Kuomintang army from what they were wearing, and the skeletons were black, and these Kuomintang troops were likely to be poisoned by the chemical weapons of the Japanese army. But unfortunately, after the old man Liu Yihuai reported this discovery to Wang Jingwei, Wang Jingwei immediately ordered the secret passage to be buried. Therefore, experts and scholars cannot investigate and study whether the remains of the Kuomintang army in the secret passage are the disappeared Sichuan army units. However, at that time, when the secret passage was filled, more than 40 trucks were dispatched, and it took dozens of days to fill in the landfill, which shows the length and depth of the secret passage, so it is not impossible that this secret passage and Qinglong Mountain are connected.
However, this uncertain result is undoubtedly disappointing for experts and scholars who want to clarify the mystery of the disappearance of the Qinglongshanchuan Legion in Nanjing in 1937. Later, when an expedition team was investigating and visiting near Qinglong Mountain, it met an old man in Tangshan Town, which is more than a dozen miles away from Qinglong Mountain. Although the old man was not a soldier who participated in the defense of Nanjing, nor had he heard of the mysterious disappearance of the Sichuan Army, he once saved a Sichuan soldier who was seriously wounded and seriously wounded near Qinglong Mountain after the battle of Nanjing. While recuperating from his wounds, the Sichuan soldier told the old man that he had followed his troops all the way to Nanjing, and then all the way to Dalian Mountain, which belonged to the Qinglong Mountain system, and was unfortunately surrounded by Japanese troops. During the breakout, they managed to capture a box of ammunition to be used as a weapon supply, but when they opened it, they found that it was all made of wood. When the ammunition ran out, the commander of the unit had to let everyone disperse and flee for their lives.
For this clue revealed by the elderly, experts also believe that this possibility is relatively large. During the defense of Nanjing, the Japanese army adopted a large net and a roundabout encirclement tactic, when the Japanese army used two elite large troops to encircle Nanjing from three sides, in this case, it was almost impossible for this 2,000-strong Sichuan Army to break through en masse. Therefore, the soldiers who survived the Sichuan Legion are likely to pretend to be ordinary people and scattered on the road of escape. Although there is not enough historical data and evidence to prove this speculation, we prefer to believe that these 2,000 soldiers who fought on the battlefield to defend their homeland lived an ordinary life in anonymity in some corner of our country after the war.
