Deng Tiemei is the pride of the people of Liaodong.
On August 1, 1938, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "August 1st" declaration, that is, the "Letter of Thousands of Compatriots in the Whole Country for Resisting Japan and Saving the Country", calling Deng Tiemei a "national hero who sacrificed his life for the country".
In 1931, the "918" incident broke out, and the Japanese army began to occupy the northeast, burning and looting.
In October 1931, with the support of Zhang Xueliang and Huang Xiansheng, Deng Tiemei led a crowd to rise up in the former Fengcheng County's Jianshan Kiln (Xiuyan County's Big Camp) to establish the "Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force" and was appointed commander-in-chief. Since then, anti-Japanese flames have spread all over the Liaodong Triangle. Deng led the team to attack Fengcheng at night, expedition to Zhuanghe, liberate the Great Lonely Mountain, and enter the Dragon King Temple... The anti-Japanese contingent quickly grew from more than 1,000 to more than 15,000 people, and took the lead in playing patriotic praises of the mighty mountains and rivers in Liaodong and Northeast China.
What kind of legendary experience did such a legendary anti-Japanese hero in the Liaodong region have? Today, I will first share the tragic changes in general Deng Tiemei's family lineage and adolescent years, witnessing 12 relatives including his father being killed by bandits in retaliation, shaping his tenacious character and indomitable will to rise up and resist.
In the 1988 edition of "The First Series of Benxi Heroic Martyrs", Deng Tiemei's cousin, the former head of the guard regiment of Deng Tiemei's Volunteer Army, detailed Deng Tiemei's gentry family lineage and unfortunate childhood.
@ Quietly read history, starting from today, successively update the legendary anti-Japanese hero Deng Tiemei of Liaodong, the early anti-Japanese beacon of the Liaodong Triangle:
Deng Tiemei's childhood and family lineage
General Deng Tiemei was a native of Moshiyu, a small urban area in Benxi County, Liaoning Province, and was born on December 29, 1892, the seventeenth year of Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty (1892), into a declining gentry family.
In his childhood, his nickname was Deng Tailai, his real name was Deng Guru, and Tiemei was his alias. After entering the career, it is changed to the line of characters and the use of tiemei as the real name.
Tie Mei's grandfather, Deng Rongchang (alias Jintang), was a gentry with a certain reputation in the Liaodong region at that time; his father, Deng Jixin, was generous and straightforward; his mother, Liu Shi, was gentle in temperament and family management, and was known in the township for his kindness.
There were five Tiemei brothers, he was the eldest; the second and fourth brothers were farmers; the third and fifth brothers worked in the Shenyang Mint and the Fushun Coal Mine respectively, but unfortunately died of illness in their youth.
Tie Mei's grandfather was honest and did not have any property, and there was only one courtyard house in the family, and there was no permanent property. Later, due to the bandits seeking revenge, the house was burned by the bandits, and tiemei's family and his old mother lived in their hometown with only three grass houses.
When Tetsumei was 7 years old, she studied the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" at the Honmura Private School. At the age of 15, he transferred to the Sammun-dong (place name) Higher Primary School.
Tie Mei's youth coincided with the extreme decay of the Qing Dynasty's rule, the internal affairs were not repaired, the external insults were repeated, and the land was cut off and the land was paid. The Qing rulers' policy of losing power and humiliating the country and bending their knees to surrender to the enemy aroused strong opposition from the broad masses of the people. The Qing rulers, on the other hand, did not take remedial and reform measures, but carried out a frenzied military repression of the people.
In the 30th year of Guangjie (1904), the Qing court intended to demarcate the area east of the Liao River as the battlefield of the Russo-Japanese War, allowing the two imperialist countries to fight on Chinese territory. While the Japanese and Russian armies were under fire, local bandits took the opportunity to sprang up. They either pledged allegiance to Japan and Russia, or took advantage of the chaos and plunder, resulting in a tragic situation in which mourning was everywhere and the people were not happy.
At that time, the Benxi area (mountainous and suitable for hiding) coincided with war and banditry, and the people's misfortune was even worse.
Tiemei's grandfather, Deng Rongchang, was full of sorrow and the people were not happy, and resolutely became indignant, advocated the formation of a large regiment (local armed forces), defended the township, and struggled to help the times, and went to a few hammers (the number one in the mountain) for The biggest bandit leader in the local area, Huang Yishan Erlang, to be captured and sent to the officials for a decision, which won the support of the people. Who wants to form a feud with the Yellow Bandit Gang because of this.
Huang Si lazy king (Shantou, Huang Yishan's younger brother) colluded with the Japanese, who received guns and ammunition, gathered bandits in the back gauze tent, endangered the place, and claimed to avenge his brother Huang Erling.
In June 1906, Huang Yue asked his uncle and nephew of the Kuandian Julan clan to help him take revenge. Two groups of bandits, about 200 people, attacked the Deng mansion in Moshiyu.
