He, at the age of thirteen, learned martial arts from a famous teacher, and after joining the Northwest Army, a large knife danced even more vigorously, beheading the head of the Wokou, such as cutting a winter melon.
Zhao Dengyu
Zhao Dengyu, a native of Heze, Shandong. Due to his family's poverty, he dropped out of school after attending a private school for two years. At the age of 16, he and his brother and friend walked more than 1800 miles to Tongguan and joined Feng Yuxiang as a soldier in the Northwest Army. Later, because of his outstanding martial arts, he was favored by Feng as a personal bodyguard.
Once, while training in the Changde Mountains field, Feng Bu found a tiger. Therefore, there were cases of tigers injuring people and animals in the department, and soldiers and civilians were present to hunt down and kill the tigers. Zhao Dengyu rushed to the front and fired several shots to hit the tiger's key point. Feng Yuxiang was very happy to hear this, and asked someone to take a photo of Zhao Dengyu riding on the back of a tiger and swinging his fist, which was why Zhao also had the name of "Fighting Tiger General".
In 1921, when Feng Yuxiang was suppressing bandits in Shaanxi, in order to capture the local bandit leader Guo Jian, he set up a Hongmen feast. When the wine was drunk, the ambush behind the screen was accidentally exposed, and Guo Jian angrily drew his gun and wanted to shoot Feng. At the moment of qianjun, Zhao Dengyu quickly struck out and actually broke Guo Jian's neck.
Zhao Dengyu's bravery and loyalty can be seen.
Rip off some gossip.
The group portrait of the "Northwest Army" military group is very interesting. Some of them are as multifaceted and changeable as foxes, and some are as mighty as lions. There are scum such as Shi Yousan, Han Fuyu, Sun Liangcheng, and Sun Dianying, as well as heroes such as Zhang Zizhong, Ji Hongchang, Tong Linge, and Zhao Dengyu.
General Zhang Zizhong of Meihua went to Chongqing before his martyrdom to visit Feng Yuxiang, who was idle. Zhang said to Feng, I will definitely do my best to serve the country and not embarrass Mr. Feng. To live I want to live, and to die is to die.
The next day, the two cherished each other and said goodbye. Zhang Zizhong walked out not far, turned back into the house, fell to his knees, and prostrated his head heavily to Feng Yuxiang. Feng was shocked and said busily, "Xing Chen, what are you doing here?" Zhang Zizhong's eyes were filled with tears, and he said solemnly: "In my life, Mr. I cultivated me, and I live to be loyal to the country wholeheartedly, like a person, like a soldier, not to fail to live up to the life you cultivated me; when I die, I will also be like a ghost, like a loyal soul, and I will not insult Mr. Wang's heroic name of training and leading soldiers." ”
A ritualistic parting of life and death. It shows General Zhang's affection for the chief, and even more shows his loyalty to the country.
Nowadays, people have a lot of evaluation of Feng Yuxiang. It is true that Feng had many rights to change when the warlords fought, but in the face of the national righteousness of the country, he had no losses, and he was the spiritual banner of a group of patriotic generals from the Northwest Army.
Feng Yuxiang
Back to the point.
After the September 18 Incident, in early 1933, the Japanese army led the war to the front line of the Great Wall. Zhao Dengyu was ordered to lead the 109th Brigade of the 29th Army, hold the Position of Xifengkou, and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.
At that time, the troops were poorly armed and even had insufficient guns. In this helpless situation, the soldiers each held a large iron knife and practiced a set of skilled traditional Chinese knife techniques, which played an important role in the Great Wall War of Resistance.
Twenty-ninth Army Knife Brigade
On the morning of March 10, the Japanese army poured out of the nest and stormed the high ground of Xifeng Fengkou. When the enemy advanced to within 100 meters, Zhao Dengyu waved his sword and shouted, leading his troops to kill, such as a fierce tiger descending the mountain, annihilating more than 700 enemy people.
On the night of March 11, Zhao Dengyu disregarded his leg wounds and personally led a large knife team of 500 people to raid the Japanese artillery positions on the left and right flanks. In the close-quarters hand-to-hand fighting, the warriors shouted: "Big knives and big knives, snow dancing winds, kill the enemy's head, strengthen my hero", slash the knife, the cold light flashes, and the heads fall to the ground. Zhao Dengyu, who is one meter and nine meters, holds his cane and bravely moves forward, like a towering banner, inspiring the pride of the warriors. In this battle, more than 500 enemy troops were annihilated, 18 cannons and countless guns and ammunition were captured.
After that, many Japanese soldiers slept at night and wore a homemade iron guard around their necks to prevent their heads from being cut off.
At the Battle of Xifengkou, the 29th Army and its large knife team annihilated the enemy Wuganren, which was the first major victory since the 918 Incident. This battle inspired the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the military and the people of the whole country, and the name of the big knife team shocked the world, becoming a heroic image of the Chinese nation resisting foreign insults in the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
When the news reached Shanghai, composer Mai Xin was full of emotion and composed the high-pitched and exciting "Big Knife March", the subtitle of the song - dedicated to the 29th Army Big Knife Team.
We know that the Japanese are a country that admires strength, such as their national sumo wrestling, in addition to religious accidents, the simple and wild power fighting is also an important factor in making them obsessed.
We have seen in many non-anti-Japanese dramas that in the last moments of the battle, the Japanese chiefs will draw out their sabers and demand fighting, so that they will die convincingly and die without regrets.
Therefore, we can imagine that the bloody japanese heads cut down by the 29th Army's large knife team had a great impact on the psychology of the Japanese military and civilians. Japan's Asahi Shimbun commented that since Meiji Emperor created the army, the imperial army's reputation has been lost outside the Kiho pass, and it has suffered insults that have not been seen in 60 years.
The fanatical Bushido, under the steel sword of the Chinese iron-blooded man, was drunk by a loud head knife.
Zhao Dengyu and the big knife team lost the enemy's courage and greatly rejuvenated the country's prestige, showing the bloodiness of the generals and soldiers. What is less known is the other tender side of Zhao Dengyu.
On snowy nights, the big knife team assembled, drank zhuangxing wine, and broke bowls. The arms were wrapped in white towels, each with a box gun, five grenades, and a steel knife with a steel steel knife on the back, and a blood-red spike on the handle.
These young warriors, about twenty years old, stood like pine trees on the snow, unafraid of the coming nine deaths. If there had been no war, most of them would have been in their hometowns to cultivate crops, marry wives and have children. But the country is in danger of survival, and someone must rush to the front and have no remorse.
The whole army stood solemnly, waiting for General Zhao's order to leave. At this time, someone ran to the general and whispered. The general's face changed sharply, and he asked the people to bring out an old lady from the mountain village and her daughter.
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know. The general looked around the tiger and said sharply, "I am sorry for the father and elder here, and I am not sorry for Mr. Feng Yuxiang's teachings." Today we have not yet received the enemy, and there is such a scum in my queue, I will not kill the devils, I will first kill the things that corrupt Wude."
The general had a flame burning in his chest and said angrily, "Just now, one of our brothers actually touched the house to harm other people's girls, a yellow flower girl who was only 17 years old!" How to find an in-laws in the future? As soon as the trumpet was blown, the thing ran like a rabbit. The girl's mother said affirmatively that the man was now standing in the queue. ”
The air solidified like ice.
"Who did it? Dare to stand up, that is called a kind, the egg in the crotch of the pants to jingle, not to be pouted, there is a kind of stand out." The general shouted.
The girl tugged at the hem of her mother's robe and whispered, "He didn't move, he just said look, he ran away as soon as you shouted."
"Stand up! Think of your mother and be worthy of her. Stand up, I Zhao Dengyu respect you as a good man." Zhao Dengyu clenched his fists with both hands.
It's still nighttime silence.
"Okay then!" Zhao Dengyu sneered, "Then uncover the blouse and expose the neck, the eldest lady said that her girl scratched the neck of the rabbit cub."
At this time, a daredevil swooped down and knelt down, and it turned out to be Zhao Dengyu's personal guard retinue. Zhao Dengyu was stunned for a moment, and said in a trembling voice, "I was blind, raised an animal, tied it up, and cut it!" ”
The guard was an eighteen-year-old son of Cao Zhou who Zhao Dengyu had brought out of his hometown. He cried, "Brigadier General, I don't mean to harm the girl, but I'm about to take on the enemy, I don't know if it's dead or alive, I haven't seen the woman's mother (Caozhou dialect: breasts).""
"Mom?" Everyone was agitated.
Zhao Dengyu turned his head and roared out the Caozhou dialect: "Your grandmother's, shame on you!" ”
In the snow, the whole army fell to their knees and interceded for the guards. The old lady was stunned, pulled the girl' daughter, and was ready to kneel down and plead.
At this moment, the girl lifted the cotton jacket, unbuttoned it, and undid the clothes one by one, revealing a pair of immature breasts, which were clear and jade under the reflection of the snow light.
The eyes of hundreds of daredevils were filled with consternation, and they did not dodge, let alone indecency, but were full of enthusiasm.
The whole army was shocked, and tears fell like rain.
When a race is at a critical juncture of life and death, each person will give up what is most precious to him, because it is worth it, because of the same hatred.
That night, at the mouth of Xifeng, the cold and shining knives began to be bloodthirsty, and the arrogant Japanese head rolled around on Chinese soil.
The next day, the big knife team triumphed. The 18-year-old guard was killed on the battlefield. The general said bitterly: "The success or failure of this battle is not in the brothers' fight, but in the big lady and the girl."
The general sent someone to send 200 pieces of ocean to the eldest bride, but the eldest bride and the girl had committed suicide on the door panel.
After the "Seven-Seven" incident, Zhao Dengyu, who was already the commander of the Lieutenant General Division, served as the commander-in-chief of the beiping nanyuan front. On the morning of the twenty-eighth day, the main force of the Japanese army, supported by dozens of aircraft, launched a fierce attack on Nanyuan.
When the Japanese Kou attacked 200 meters in front of the 132nd Division, Zhao Dengyu swung a large knife in his hand, jumped out of the trench, and led his soldiers into the enemy group shirtless, the sound of slashing and killing was earth-shaking, and the Japanese army fled backwards. When Zhao Dengyu led his troops to pursue the Japanese Kou, the Japanese army organized a counterattack and bombarded them with aircraft cannons. Zhao Dengyu was afraid that the troops would be defeated and retreated, and urgently ordered reinforcements from the reserves. He held the shell gun in one hand and charged forward with a large knife in the other. The officers and men saw that the commander of the division was a pioneer and morale was greatly boosted, and they drove the Japanese army back for more than a mile, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere on the side of the road.
In the records of the Battle of Nanyuan in the "History of Continental Warfare" issued by Japan in 1939, the Japanese army gave a high evaluation to Zhao Dengyu's death in defending Nanyuan, and the deathly resistance of the 29th Army led by Zhao Dengyu was described by the Japanese as a "nightmare under the day".
After a six-hour tug-of-war between attack and defense, Zhao Dengyu was ordered to lead his troops to assemble at the Dahongmen Gate and prepare for a counterattack. When he reached the Dahongmen Yuhe Bridge, he was suddenly attacked by the Japanese troops who were ambushed on both sides of the Dahongmen, and he was shot several times and martyred. He was 39 years old.
Zhao Dengyu's mother is filial piety. Every time his mother's face was not good, he knelt down in front of her mother and bowed her ear. When the general was dying, he said to the messenger soldiers around him who were full of tears: "It is the duty of a soldier to die on the battlefield, and there is nothing worth mourning." It's just that the old mother is old and can't stand the panic, so she asked the deputy commander to send someone to arrange it for me. Tell her that the old man's family cannot be loyal and filial piety, and that his son died for the country and is worthy of his ancestors. Besides, I don't have much to worry about. ”
Zhao Dengyu was the first division commander to die in the Japanese war, and was later posthumously awarded the title of general of the army by the Nationalist government.
Mao Zedong once spoke highly of Zhao Dengyu for "giving the whole Chinese a lofty and great model."
Zhao Dengyu Road, Beijing
Chinese was always well protected by the bravest of them.
The bravest people are also inspiring every Chinese.
The big knife slashed at the heads of the devils, kill!
In 1945, Japan announced its surrender. On August 21, Ninji Okamura, supreme commander of the Japanese Invasion of China, sent Takeo Imai, deputy chief of the general staff, and eight people to fly from Nanjing to Zhijiang, Hunan Province, in a medium-sized twin-engine plane, to ask General Xiao Yisu, chief of the general staff of the Chinese Theater Army, for instructions on the surrender of the Japanese army.
At 9:30 a.m., the plane was flying over Dongting Lake when suddenly Staff Officer Bridge Island exclaimed, "A machine gun has been found in the cabin." ”
Imai ordered, "Hurry up and throw the machine gun down!" ”
The machine gun was thrown down, and several people looked out from the porthole of the plane, and the blue and blue Dongting Lake was disproportionate to a thrown machine gun, and the gun arced like a bird with broken wings, planted in the water, just swinging out a few circles...
