1932 I. When the Songhu War of Resistance broke out, Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Government changed their policy toward Japan from "one soldier to negotiate, one soldier to resist" to "active resistance and preparation for negotiations.", demanding that the 19th Route Army stationed in Shanghai resolutely resist and send troops to reinforce the Songhu area. The Japanese claimed to occupy Shanghai in four hours and Indochina in three months. Deng Zhenquan, commander of wusong fortress (the first gateway of the Yangtze River estuary) on the front line, escaped from the front, and at this critical moment, Teng Jiushou, chief of staff of the Wusong fortress headquarters, was ordered to lead all the officers and men of the boat to resist bravely. Under the command of Teng Jiushou, the fierce battle between Wusong Fortress and the Japanese Kou lasted for seven days, breaking the wild words of the Japanese army and defending the dignity of the mainland.
Biography
Teng Jiushou was born in 1899 in Dujiang County, Guizhou Province, and his father, Teng Ziqing, served in the Dujiang Department at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Born into a rich family, Fujikushou grew very strong and strong when he was a teenager, and because of the influence of the stories of national heroes such as Yue Fei, he often motivated himself with "loyalty to the country". As an adult, Fujikushou was admitted to the Guizhou Army's Daowutang Artillery Section.
After graduating from the Guizhou Army Lecture Hall in 1919, Teng Jiushou began his career as a horseman. During his time in Qian, Teng Jiushou successively served as the commander of the Qian army platoon, company, battalion, and regiment. At that time, the warlords were divided and fighting separately, and they were extremely resentful. After the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, Dr. Sun Yat-sen established the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou, with the intention of cultivating an elite army to revitalize the Northern Expedition. In response to Sun Yat-sen's "Declaration on Going North" against imperialism and warlords, In 1926 Teng Jiushou resolutely left Qian to join the National Revolutionary Army, and successively served as an instructor at the Chaozhou Branch of the Chinese Military and Political School and the chief of staff of the Chaomei Garrison Headquarters. After 1927, he was transferred to the chief of staff of the 2nd Division of the 17th Army and the 29th Division of the 10th Army, and in 1929 he was appointed as the supervisor of the Training Directorate Department, and in the winter of the same year, he was transferred to the chief of staff of the Wusong Fortress of the 19th Route Army.
One. The 28 songhu incident
Less than two years after Teng Jiushou was transferred to the 19th Army, the 918 Incident that shocked the world occurred in the Black Water of the White Mountains in northeast China, and Shenyang fell into the hands of the enemy overnight. The Nationalist government's policy of non-resistance further fueled Japan's arrogance, and they turned their attention to Shanghai, China's economic center.
On the night of January 28, 1932, the headquarters of the 19th Route Army stationed in Shanghai was brightly lit, and according to the intelligence of all parties, Japan was preparing to land in Shanghai, and the war was on the verge of breaking out. At 11:20 p.m., the Municipal Public Security Bureau forwarded the urgent message from The Commander of Japan's First Foreign Fleet, Shiozawa Yuki, to General Cai Yankai, and said briefly: "In view of the fact that most of the people of the states live in Zhabei, in order to maintain law and order, the Japanese army will be stationed there, and the Greek-Gui army will immediately withdraw from Zhabei tonight." ”
After consulting with the rest of the headquarters, General Cai immediately sent a special emergency telegram to the National Government and the people of the whole country, saying: "... We cannot give up every inch of grass, resist in order to save the country, and although we sacrifice to one person and one bullet, we will never shrink back... ”
At 11:30 a.m., the Japanese Marines launched a full-line attack on our Zhabei position. The Japanese army said: four hours to occupy Shanghai, three months to occupy Indochina. Unexpectedly, the morale of our army was strong, the resistance was extremely fierce, and the enemy bombarded our Zhabei position with aircraft and artillery, but the soldiers of the 19th Route Army were not timid. In the middle of the broken wall and decadent wall, he fought with the enemy, killed the enemy and suffered heavy losses, and the Zhabei position could not be attacked for a long time.
In the face of danger, he was ordered to die heroically
Wusong Fortress was the first gateway to the Yangtze River estuary on the mainland and had an important political and military position, so the enemy concentrated its firepower to attack Wusong. However, Deng Zhenquan, who was the commander of Wusong Fortress at that time, went to Shanghai to live a luxurious life of spending days and drinks, and when the security headquarters was urging the strengthening of combat readiness, he did not care. It was not until 28 January that an urgent order was given that he came to the garrison headquarters that night and immediately made a request to dismiss him as commander of the front-line positions, and he Yingqin, the minister of military affairs at the time, was his compatriot, so his absurd request was granted.
At this critical moment, in the face of the commander's imminent escape, Teng Jiushou, as the chief of staff, was ordered to climb the battery and lead all the artillery to fight bravely, repeatedly repelling the fierce attacks of the Japanese army. But in wusong fortress, the Japanese army occupies a firm advantage in both naval and air strength, strength and equipment, but Teng Jiushou has no fear, and in the face of repeated attacks, he calmly and calmly commands counterattacks. On the seventh day after repeatedly repelling Japanese attacks, although the casualties were heavy, the Wusong Fortress was still firmly in the hands of the Chinese army.
Faced with the long-term inability to attack Wusong Fortress, the Japanese army chose to use the advantages of sea and air to destroy Wusong Fortress. On the seventh day of the war, on the morning of February 4, the Japanese sent 13 ships and 24 aircraft to bombard the Wusong Fortress Battery in turn, and dropped countless bombshells. Our fighters also launched a counterattack, and after about two hours of fierce fighting between the two sides, our battery was almost paralyzed, and six cannons were blown up in succession, which had never been seen since the fierce beginning of the war. The whole town of Wusong was almost blown up into a sea of fire, and the inside and outside of the fort were full of shell craters one or two feet deep. The situation was already very dangerous, and Teng Jiushou held his position and calmly and calmly commanded the artillery to launch a counterattack. During the bloody battle, a piece of shrapnel hit his left arm, and the blood immediately stained his clothes red, and the escorts with him hurriedly asked him to retreat for a while. However, Teng Jiushou said resolutely: "Soldiers of my generation have the responsibility of those who protect the country and the people, and they quickly return the shell to kill the enemy, and those who retreat are shot." Before he could finish speaking, his left armpit was hit by a shell and was blown off his right hand. The Japanese bombardment became more and more fierce, but Teng Jiushou still stood on the front line and commanded the battle. Immediately after, the shrapnel penetrated his chest and abdomen, and his whole body was stained red with blood, but he continued to fight until the last moment. In the end, he fell into a pool of blood and died heroically, at the age of 33.
Although people sacrifice, their spirit is brave
General Teng Jiuhe's courageous resistance to Japan and his sacrifice for the country greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people of Shanghai and the officers and men of the 19th Route Army for resisting the war, and their fighting spirit was even higher. From the end of January to the beginning of March, the Japanese invading army increased its troops by 100,000, killed and wounded more than 10,000 people, and replaced four commanders successively, but it still did not realize the wild words of "occupying Shanghai in four hours and occupying China in three months".
Teng Jiushou was the first general in China to die in the 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. After his martyrdom, Song Qingling personally delivered an anti-Japanese patriotic speech, highly praising the patriotic spirit of the 19th Route Army and General Teng Jiushou in fighting bravely against the enemy. Cai Yankai, commander of the 19th Route Army, formed a funeral committee, and he personally wrote down the four big characters of "Blood Spilled in Songhu".
General Teng Jiushou spent his life on horseback and often used to serve the country with loyalty and self-encouragement. He died on the battlefield, but his spirit and his deeds have always inspired us to pay tribute to the patriotic general General Teng Jiushou!
