Some of the Huating martyrs who died in the Battle of Taierzhuang

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a large number of Gansu disciples participated in the war. They participated in various battles on various battlefields from the September 18 Incident to the victory of the War of Resistance.

A "List of Martyrs of the Huating Anti-Japanese War" witnessed the history of the Gansu Children's War of Resistance.

In the bloody battle of Taierzhuang, 27 of Longyuan's sons were killed

Recently, the reporter wandered around the used book market and saw a copy of the "List of Martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War in Huating". From the "Lugou Bridge Incident" on July 7, 1937 to the unconditional surrender of Japan on August 15, 1945, 108 officers and soldiers from Huating nationality were identified in the War of Resistance Against Japan. They were born as masters and died as patron saints of the motherland.

Huating, belonging to Pingliang City, Gansu Province, is located in the eastern part of Gansu Province, located at the intersection of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia provinces (districts), and Huating Town was established in the second year of Northern Wei Putai (532), named after the Huajian Mountain Pavilion at the foot of The Emperor's Mountain. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a large number of Huating disciples were conscripted into the army and participated in famous battles such as the Bailing Temple, Zhongtiao Mountain, Pingxingguan, Taierzhuang, the Battle of Baituan, and the Battle of Wuhan.

A total of 108 people were included in the form, whose names, places of origin, service units and positions, places of death or battles were registered. The enthusiastic young people who embarked on the anti-Japanese battlefield at that time finally let us see the name, place of origin, number, and place of death.

Looking at the table, the places where 108 people were killed covered almost all the battlefields of the War of Resistance, including Burma, Hebei Xifengkou, Suiyuan, Hubei Zhijiang, Yangxin, Henan Xinyang, Jiangsu Kunshan, Shanxi Guangwu, ZhongtiaoShan, Fengxin, Changzhi, Daixian County, Anhui Guangde, Shandong Taierzhuang... There were nearly 10 more people, and there were no places of death.

The table does not list the time of their birth, and the age at which they died is not known, but the highest rank or position listed in the table is captain company commander, then sergeant, corporal, most of whom are first class, second class, first class soldier. They were the most basic and ordinary soldiers, the most basic components of the anti-Japanese army, fighting with the Japanese, and they fought on the front line.

Although it is a simple form, it does not affect people's respect for them. A simple combing of the battles they sacrificed has made new discoveries, and it also confirms from the side the many deeds of gansu children who participated in the anti-Japanese resistance written by the reporter before.

In the Battle of Taierzhuang, a considerable number of the soldiers guarding Taierzhuang were Gansu disciples. The reporter has previously written that the Wuwei people were ordered by Sun Lianzhong to enter Zhushan during the Battle of Taierzhuang to convey the order to fight to the death.

Of the 108 people in this form, 27 died at the Battle of Taierzhuang. They belonged to General Feng Anbang's 42nd Army, some of which listed specific numbers: 191st Division of the 42nd Army, some of which were specific to the regiment: 572 regiment, and some of which did not have specific numbers, but only marked the 42nd Army.

Feng Anbang's troops were ordered to guard Taierzhuang

In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the main force was Sun Lianzhongbu of the former Northwest Army. General Sun Lianzhong's subordinate departments mainly defended Taierzhuang.

Since 1925, after Feng Yuxiang's Second Division Liu Yufen entered Gansu, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army successively controlled all parts of the northwest, recruiting a large number of young people in the northwest, and there were a large number of Gansu disciples in various departments of the Northwest Army.

The famous anti-Japanese general Feng Anbang, a native of Wudi, Shandong, served as the commander of the 23rd Division of Feng Yuxiang's department and the chairman of Ningxia Province, and the commander of the 27th Division of the 26th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

On July 7, 1937, the War of Resistance broke out in full swing. On the 9th, General Feng Anbang received orders to support the Twenty-ninth Army. On the 12th, the troops moved north. Feng Anbang said passionately: "Killing the enemy and repaying the country is at this moment!" Soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death and who preserve their strength are the scum of the National Revolution, and they are not counted as the descendants of Yan Huang! After that, General Feng Anbang moved to various battlefields and participated in many major battles such as the Great Wall War, the Battle of Taiyuan, and the Battle of Taierzhuang, with outstanding achievements.

On September 30, 1937, the Twenty-sixth Route Army was expanded into the Second Army, with Sun Lianzhong as commander-in-chief and Feng Anbang promoted to commander of the Forty-second Army, with the 27th Division and the Independent 44th Brigade under his command. In March 1938, after receiving orders from Feng Anbang's 42nd Army, which was still recuperating in Xuchang, Henan, it rushed to the front line of Taierzhuang day and night. Feng Anbang's 27th Division served as a defensive defender on the right flank outside the city, preparing to flank the Japanese flank.

According to the record: "In the early morning of April 2, Feng Anbang specially ordered more than 200 death squads with a battalion of soldiers to attack the city from the East Gate, attacked the left back of the Japanese army in the city, and once captured the East Gate and the northeast corner of the city. On the same day, the Twenty-seventh Division and the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment engaged in an unprecedentedly fierce positional battle east of Taierzhuang. Feng Anbang took the horse to supervise the battle, and the officers and men regarded death as if they were homecoming, and inflicted a heavy blow on the enemy. "In an unprecedented fierce war, the sons of Gansu died and sacrificed their lives for the country.

During the xuzhou retreat, Feng Anbang led the 27th Division to the command of Zhang Zizhong of the 27th Group Army and moved to Hubei and other places in western Henan. On November 3, 1938, in the Xiangfan area, he was bombed by Japanese aircraft, and General Feng Anbang was seriously wounded and martyred at the age of 54. On September 1, 2014, General Feng Anbang was included in the first list of 300 famous anti-Japanese heroes and heroes published by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Later, the reporter once contacted friends in Huating City to inquire about the specific villages and relatives of some martyrs, but unfortunately it is not very clear because of its long age.
