One
In 1894, a harsh winter.
Shuo Wind roared, the ground froze cold, and the booing turned into ice!
The heavy snow of one day and one night decorated the earth into a glass world, and the eyes were dazzling.
The distant village is near the trees, and the creek road is like a three-dimensional pattern of silver makeup.
Pedestrians disappeared, birds and beasts disappeared.
Except for the piercing cold wind and the endless call, the whole earth, under the cover of white snow, seems to have lost its vitality.
The sky was always a misty gray, and time seemed to have stopped its movement, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night.
Shandong
Heze City East Xinji Village, a peasant family, gave birth to a baby, this child was born without a father, because his father fell ill and died two months before his birth,
Orphans and widows, ice and snow, it is not easy.
The peasant woman could not read, so she asked the village teacher to give the baby a name.
Jiang Yuzhen, the words are continuous, implying that he is like this ice and snow, precious and rare, firm and holy.
Since he grew up without a father,
Jiang Yuzhen
The family was very poor.
fortunately
Jiang Yuzhen was in good health, seven or eight years old
He helped his mother to pull mills, push mills, collect firewood and grass, and follow his mother to the field.
And because
Jiang Yuzhen was born very handsome when she was a child, with a wide head, uniform facial features, two sword eyebrows, flying obliquely into the sideburns, eyes like dot paint, clear as two Hong Qiushui, thick and moderate lips, a very beautiful nose bridge, no less than Pan An's rebirth, Song Yu was reborn, deeply loved by the village teachers, so in his leisure time, Jiang Yuzhen also often went to teach Mr. Where to read and read, and over time he was also quite literate.
In 1913,
Jiang Yuzhen was accustomed to the suffering of the world, so he went to the Shaanxi recruitment station to sign up for the army.
Jiang Yuzhen was not only able to read and hyphenate in the army, but also fought very bravely, so she was soon promoted to the posts of squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, and battalion commander.
He not only has clear rewards and punishments in the army, and governs the army well, but he also has superb talents and is very capable of bearing hardships, so he is deeply loved by soldiers in the army, and the brigade commander Yang Shiyuan is even more appreciative of him.
After the victory of the Northern Expedition, the brigade commander Yang Shiyuan recommended it
Jiang Yuzhen arrived
After graduating, he studied in the senior class of the Central Army Officer School and became the colonel of the Third Regiment of the Shanxi Army.
Later, he was sent to the Kuomintang officer training class held in Lushan. Later, he served as the commander of the 196th Brigade of the Jinsui Army of the Kuomintang.

In 1937, the "July 7" Incident broke out, and Japan launched an all-out attack on China.
Jiang Yuzhen was ordered to resist the Japanese, and he traveled day and night to Niangziguan, the eastern gate of Shanxi, where he led his troops to quickly build fortifications.
However, in early September, the situation changed dramatically, and the Japanese army vigorously refined the northern part of Shaanxi, and the Datong area was in danger.
At this time, Jiang Yuzhen was ordered to go to Datong, Shanxi, but before Jiang Yuzhen arrived in Datong, the Japanese army had already continuously conquered Datong, Wei County, Guangling and other places, and the spearhead was directed at Pingxingguan.
At Pingxingguan, the Eighth Route Army joined forces with Yan Xishan and fought a great victory, annihilating more than 1,000 enemy troops, but the victory of a battle could not change the overall situation, and just after the Japanese army in Datong went to Pingxingguan, the Chinese army had to be forced to retreat.
After that, the Japanese army broke through Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass one after another, and occupied Dai County.
The situation in Shanxi is in danger! Yan Xishan knew that Shanxi was an important place in the North China War, and Taiyuan was the center of Shanxi, and if he wanted to keep Taiyuan, he had to guard the barrier Xinkou north of Taiyuan.
Leaning on the left of Yunzhong Mountain and on the right of Wutai Mountain, Xinkou is a 3 km wide and 16 km long pass, and its strategic location is extremely important.
In order to defend Xinkou, Chiang Kai-shek personally called Yan Xishan, and asked Wei Lihuang, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, to personally lead the Fourteenth Army to reinforce the Shanxi battlefield, and 6 armies rushed to Xinkou.
However, the reinforcement of the Fourteenth Army needed time, and the Japanese army was only two days away from Xinkou, and the situation was extremely critical, just at this time Yan Xishan ordered Jiang Yuzhen, a fierce general of the Jin Sui Army, to go to the town of Yuanping in Chengxian County for seven days and drag the Japanese iron horse.
Jiang Yuzhen, who did not arrive in Datong, had already arrived in Chengxian County, but at this time, Jiang Yuzhen's troops had been marching for 20 days, and the people were sleepy and lacking, and after receiving the order, Jiang Yuzhen led his troops to arrive at Yuanping Town.
Three
On October 1, Nikko besieged Yuanping from the south of Dai County.
The main force of the Japanese army, the 5th Division of Banheng, arrived at Hara Ping, and Jiang Yuzhen was already ready to go in Hara Ping!
However, the main force of the Japanese army, banheng 5th Division, had 70,000 people, more than 150 tanks, and 250 artillery pieces; Jiang Yuzhen's 196th Brigade of the Jin Sui Army had only 5,000 men.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and the Japanese army did not take Jiang Yuzhen in their eyes.
At noon on October 1, China and Japan agreed
Outside the city
Fierce fighting occurred, facing more than a dozen times the enemy, the 196th Brigade suffered heavy casualties, but it still caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese army.
At night, Jiang Yuzhen organized
Small groups of troops carried out night raids, unexpectedly attacking the enemy, causing huge casualties to the Japanese army.
From the occupation of the three eastern provinces, to the Battle of Pingjin, to the invasion of North China, the Japanese army only suffered a loss at Pingxingguan once, and had not suffered such a loss, but what Itagaki Seishiro did not expect was that a few thousand people dared to sneak attack.
The next day, Itagaki Seishiro ordered his troops to launch a charge, and all six of the charges were repelled by Jiang Yuzhen, and the 196th Brigade at this time could not withstand casualties, so Jiang Yuzhen led his troops to retreat to the city.
Embarrassed and angry, Itagaki Seishiro gathered heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks and began to attack Harahei, shelling Harapei for two days, but still failed to take the town.
The reason why Jiang Yuzhen was able to resist the enemy's artillery fire was due to his cohesion, he had just arrived in the original peacetime, the troops were very tired, but he actively encouraged everyone to build fortifications, using the city wall and the culvert to build a stable defense.
He ate and lived with the soldiers, and everyone loved him in their hearts, because he not only fought fiercely, but also looked very big, and every time he charged in front of the front, it was like running, and everyone called him "General Flying Bear" over time.
As long as there is a place where "General Flying Bear" is, everyone has the backbone, so the 196th Brigade has fought many victorious battles, so everyone has implemented Jiang Yuzhen's orders.
Two days of artillery fire attacked, causing the yuanping city wall to collapse, and the Japanese army felt that it was time to attack the city.
And Jiang Yuzhen ordered people to bury a large number of explosives near the gap in the city wall, and when the Japanese army entered the gap, they suddenly detonated the bomb, and suddenly a large number of Japanese troops fell to the ground and died, and the Japanese troops outside the city were trapped in a piece, and Jiang Yuzhen ordered people to throw grenades into the Japanese army from a high place, resulting in Japanese corpses all over the ground.
In this way, the two sides fought a tug-of-war for three days, and the Japanese army never managed to capture the original Pingcheng.

Just when the desperate resistance of the 196th Brigade reached the seventh day, Jiang Yuzhen successfully completed the task of holding on, and the soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Yuzhen received a telegram again, and bought 3 days for Xinkou's defense work!
At this time, the 196th Brigade had only more than 2,000 men, and it was almost exhausted.
After Jiang Yuzhen saw the telegram, he immediately wrote back to Yan Xishan: "My brigade is fighting the enemy to the death, and I hope that Commander Yan will rest assured, I Jiang Someone swears to coexist and die with Yuan Ping!" ”
Jiang Yuzhen considered the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, so he simply put the Japanese army into the city, and he led his soldiers to engage in street battles with the Japanese army. He also ordered that in the street battle, as long as the Japanese army is not allowed to stay alive.
Jiang Yuzhen reorganized the remaining soldiers, organized a wounded battalion, a assault battalion, etc., and after arranging each soldier to a suitable combat position, he fought with the Japanese army to the death.
He personally led the assault battalion, which came and went in the city without a shadow, like thunder, like a streamer, and attacked the Japanese troops entering the city quickly, fiercely, accurately, and steadily.
Sometimes when encountering enemies in the alley, Jiang Yuzhen was a pioneer soldier, sworn with his sword and axe, slashed nine bulls with all his might, like a ceiling cover, split forward, blocked back, put on the shelf, and slashed down, and beckoned like a great river of the Yangtze River, gushing endlessly, and like the stars collapsing together, sprinkling one after another, the wind was sharp as howling, the light was like a belt, like the waves of the angry sea, like the vastness of the sky, causing great fear to the enemy.
And the soldiers of the assault battalion, in the dark night, early morning, and noon of the day, often unexpectedly rushed into the enemy army in the alley, like a torrential rain and fierce wind, killing from all directions!
And often every time there is a surprise attack, the Japanese army is a tragic howl, and the blood and flesh are flying, and the bloody corpse is lying on the ground!
On the evening of October 10, the Japanese army had already captured Yuanping, the 196th Brigade, only more than 1,000 people were left, only more than 200 people were not wounded, Jiang Yuzhen took these 200 people to fight with the Japanese Army Zhou Xuan in Yuanping City. , ordered the wounded soldiers who could move to begin digging holes in the city walls to break through.
Ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Jiang Yuzhen led a team to break through with 50 people and after splitting 20 Japanese troops alive in the alley.
Just when it was almost time to leave the city, he was chased by Japanese cavalry and tanks, and a shell injured Jiang Yuzhen's left leg, while he still commanded the team to break through safely.
Outside the city, because he was so badly wounded, he ordered the guards to hide him in a crop field, only to be found fainting due to excessive blood loss.
Ten days and ten nights of obstruction, so that the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and lost the fighter, the Japanese army will be all the anger on Jiang Yuzhen's body, after stabbing him dozens of times, the Japanese army felt that it was not enough to relieve hatred, and even cut off his head!
"Flying Bear General" Jiang Yuzhen was only 44 years old when he died.
After learning of Jiang Yuzhen's sacrifice, Yan Xishan was heartbroken, and the Kuomintang government posthumously awarded him the title of lieutenant general of the army.
Even Chairman Mao was overwhelmed with regret when he heard this, and praised him, saying that he had "given the people of the whole country a lofty and great model."
