After the September 18 Incident, in less than two months, a large part of the northeast fell. On November 4, 1931, about 400 people from the 7th Squadron and the Engineer Detachment of the 16th Regiment of the "Nenjiang Detachment" of the Japanese Second Division appeared on the bridge deck of the River Bridge in Heilongjiang.
Jiangqiao, to be precise, should be the "Nenjiang Hal Gemu Bridge", with a total length of 800 meters, which is the only way to Qiqihar, the then provincial capital of Heilongjiang.
【Ma Zhanshan】
The Japanese army came to Heilongjiang on this trip. Until they stepped on the bridge deck of the river, they still did not encounter any resistance from the Chinese army, and the Japanese army became more bold. They believe that the military and civilians in the northeast have completely abandoned resistance.
However, as the Japanese approached the bank of the river bridge, they suddenly fired a dense barrage of bullets. The Japanese army, including the commander of the Second Division of the Japanese Army, Jiro Domon, could not believe that there were Chinese soldiers and civilians who attacked them!
What they did not know was that Ma Zhanshan, who was the acting chairman of Heilongjiang at the time, gave a death order to his subordinates:
Let the devils in
100
Meters away, hit hard!
Ma Zhanshan, born in 1885, is of Manchu ethnicity. Why Ma Zhanshan's parents gave him such a name is difficult to verify, but from his life, this name is very appropriate.
When Ma Zhanshan was seven or eight years old, he released horses to the landlord's family and practiced a good riding skill. When he was 18, he lost a horse while herding it. As a result, the landlord sent him to the official palace, and Ma Zhanshan was imprisoned, and he also suffered from skin and flesh, and lost a lot of money. However, the horse later ran back on its own, but the landlord was arrogant and unreasonable and did not return the money. Ma Zhanshan, enraged, occupied a mountain, fell into the grass, and became the king of the mountain.
In 1905, after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, seeing that the space for activities was getting smaller and smaller, Ma Zhanshan went down the mountain to accept the recruitment. Since then, he has been promoted all the way from sentry chief to Heilongjiang Heihe garrison commander.
After the September 18 Incident, Zhang Xueliang asked Ma Zhanshan to act as chairman of Heilongjiang.
Zhang Xueliang's move was quite meaningful, he himself did not want to have a direct conflict with the Japanese, but the foundation of the three eastern provinces left by his son, and he was not willing to give it to people, so that Ma Zhanshan, who was born in the green forest, could stabilize his position, which was a compromise and wise decision.

A man from a green forest, but became the head of a province, Ma Zhanshan was full of ambition.
At that time, the three eastern provinces fell too quickly, and the forces on all sides have been tolerating. Neither Jiang Nor did Jiang Shi nor Zhang Xueliang resist, and the members of all sides were watching, not knowing what to do. Ma Zhanshan, who was born in the green forest, did not think so much, and on the day he became the acting governor of the province, he announced to the outside world:
Then whoever invades our province will swear to die in a battle!
He did what he said,

On The first shot of commanded and systematic armed anti-Japanese resistance was fired at Jiangqiao.
At that time, Ma Zhanshan sent a total of 20,000 horses and deployed three lines of defense on the north bank of the river bridge, ready to fight the Japanese to the end. In the past two months, the three eastern provinces have been constantly falling, and the northeast Hanzi have long hated the policy of non-resistance to the extreme, and at this time, they have held their breath and taken out the spirit of fighting without fear of death, because they are defending their homeland!
【Ma Zhanshan in the Battle of Jiangqiao】
In the Battle of Jiangqiao, Ma Zhanshan's command talent was revealed. He coordinated machine guns and rifles, quickly encircled them with cavalry, and organized counter-charges at the right time, and various tactics cooperated with each other and used them properly. Ma Zhanshan himself came to the front line and fought with the soldiers in the rain of bullets and bullets, which made the morale of the troops even higher.
Due to the well-equipped Japanese army, Ma Zhanshan insisted for 14 days and was forced to retreat. But the whole country knew the name Ma Zhanshan, and his spirit of fighting back when the land fell caused a sensation in the country. Various localities donated money and materials to support Ma Zhanshan's anti-Japanese resistance.
However, in february 1932, Ma Zhanshan compromised with Japan, which was unexpected. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek did not provide support to Ma Zhanshan, resulting in his isolation, coupled with the Continuous Abduction of the Japanese, promising Ma Zhanshan that he could become the chairman of Heilongjiang and that he could exercise autonomy, which became multiple reasons for Ma Zhanshan's compromise.
But Ma Zhanshan refused to sign the agreement, telling the Japanese: "I can't read." ”
Before everyone was ready to scold Ma Zhanshan, he did something that stunned the Japanese. On April 1, 1932, Ma Zhanshan, in the name of reviewing the army, led a large number of people, horses and materials to escape from Qiqihar and declared the anti-Japanese resistance again!
During ma zhanshan's compromise with Japan and his appointment as governor of Heilongjiang Province for more than a month, he secretly mobilized 12 trucks and 6 cars to transport banknotes equivalent to 2 million silver dollars, 300 war horses, and other large quantities of military supplies out of Qiqihar, laying the foundation for reorganizing the anti-Japanese resistance.
Ma Zhanshan used extraordinary means to resist the Japanese, and also fought hard with the Japanese with real swords and guns. The Japanese army encircled and suppressed Ma Zhanshan's troops 8 times, but they were all defused by Ma Zhanshan. What is even more unexpected is that in November 1932, Ma Zhanshan also organized a four-way army to counterattack Qiqihar, which caught the Japanese army by surprise. As the acting governor of the green forest, more than a year after the September 18 Incident, this lonely Northeast Volunteer Army showed their courage and bloodiness, counterattacked a provincial capital city, and fought some victorious battles.
However, after finally outnumbering and almost exhausting all his strength, Ma Zhanshan retreated to the Soviet Union with the remnants.
【Ma Zhanshan in film and television dramas】
In mid-1933, Ma Zhanshan returned from the Soviet Union to Europe, and once asked Chiang Kai-shek to take the initiative to lead the anti-Japanese army again, but because he did not have his own troops, it had no use value for Chiang and was rejected.
In 1936, Jiang Shi suddenly summoned Ma Zhanshan to Xi'an, and when Ma Zhanshan rushed to go, the Xi'an Incident occurred. Even though he was born in the green forest, Ma Zhanshan had a lot of vision and urged Zhang Xueliang not to kill Jiang when the country was in trouble.
Later, when the July 7 Incident broke out and the Japanese army invaded China in an all-round way, the 52-year-old Ma Zhanshan once again asked Nanjing for orders to resist Japan. Although more than a month later, Chiang appointed him commander of the "Northeast Advance Army", it was only a blank check. Later, chiang appointed Ma Zhanshan as the chairman of Heilongjiang when Wuhan had fallen," and this appointment could not even be counted as a blank cheque.
Chiang Also asked Ma Zhanshan to lead his troops to fight our army in 1945, but in the area of Chaigou Fort on Pingsui Road, he was beaten to death. Soon, Ma Zhanshan said that he was sick and lived in Beiping.

At the end of 1948, after consultation, Ma Zhanshan, Deng Baoshan, and Fu Zuoyi declared an uprising and the peaceful liberation of Peiping. On November 29, 1950, Ma Zhanshan, who had been in the limelight for the first half of his life and unpaid in the second half of his life, died of illness in his Beiping apartment at the age of 65 and was buried in the western suburbs of Beijing.
