Before the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in July 1937, Yang Xiufeng, who was already a professor at Peking Normal University, deeply felt that the country was already in the situation of subjugation and extinction, and he had no heart at all to enjoy a comfortable material life.
[Yang Xiufeng, a university professor who is comparable to a general]
Yang Xiufeng's active participation in anti-Japanese activities with the title of university professor is very appealing, especially among young students and intellectuals.
When Yang Xiufeng arrived in western Hebei, he erected a banner of anti-Japanese resistance in western Hebei, which can be described as a heavy response. In a relatively short period of time, those students and teachers who did not want to be slaves of the country, learned that Professor Yang was leading the fight against the Japanese in western Hebei, and they all rushed here with enthusiasm. What moved Yang Xiufeng even more was that many students studying in Japan did not become traitors, but broke through the blockade, climbed mountains and waded to Yang Xiufeng's side, and asked to join the ranks of resisting the Japanese invaders with the knowledge and ability they had learned.
In a relatively short period of time, Yang Xiufeng, with his personal charm, attracted more than 300 educated and enthusiastic young people and patriotic intellectuals to join the Western Hebei guerrillas, so that the Western Hebei Guerrillas became the highest cultural contingent under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army and the most harmonious military-civilian relations at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Yang Xiufeng, a great intellectual who threw his pen from Rong, stepped forward to go to the national disaster at the critical moment of the destruction of the country and his family, and also infected many teams who sincerely resisted Japan in the western Hebei region to defect to the torrent of anti-Japanese resistance, and many of the teams did not know much about the anti-Japanese tactics of the Eighth Route Army and what kind of contingent the Eighth Route Army was, and many of them relied on the fact that they were a big intellectual, did not enjoy such a good life, put their own lives and deaths aside, and could go into battle to kill the enemy. So what reason do we have not to throw ourselves into the ranks of the Japanese invaders?
Whenever Yang Xiufeng heard a report that a contingent had come to join the Eighth Route Army, he gave them a warm reception and preached to them the Anti-Japanese strategy of the Eighth Route Army.
[Warriors in Training]
After all, he was a university professor, and his profound knowledge, as well as his in-depth and simple explanation, made those who did not know much about the Eighth Route Army deepen their understanding of the Eighth Route Army from his explanations, and they all joined the Eighth Route Army very happily, so that the guerrilla unit in western Hebei also developed from an armed force of only 300 people at the beginning to the establishment of two main regiments, and soon let the anti-Japanese base areas behind the enemy lines in western Hebei flourish.
The team has developed and grown, and Yang Xiufeng knows very well that since he wants to fight against the fierce and vicious Japanese army, it is not enough to rely only on patriotic enthusiasm and cultural knowledge, and he must also master the military skills of military killing the enemy.
When the troops were getting larger and larger, Yang Xiufeng promptly reported to the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which was active in the western Hebei region, and asked the 129th Division to dispatch grass-roots military commanders at the squad and platoon company levels with excellent military quality to serve as instructors for the officers and men of these two regiments, and to train them strictly.
The officers and men of the two regiments, under the strict training of the instructors selected by the 129th Division, greatly improved their military skills, laying the foundation for the transition from regularization of the guerrillas.
With Yang Xiufeng's excellent work, he was appointed director of the Ji'nan Administrative Office, which was busier than before. Since after September 1937, the southern Hebei region gradually became a springboard for the Japanese army to invade Shanxi, many elite divisions of the Japanese army used this as a forward base to launch an attack on Shanxi.
In the face of such a grim situation, many patriotic and enlightened squires in the local area, faced with the reality that the Japanese army was raging and the land was lost, spontaneously set off the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and protecting the land, calling on the local volunteers to form various forms of vigilante groups to fight back against the harassment and robbery of the Japanese army.
Because these armed forces failed to undergo strict military training, under the crazy attack of the Japanese army, they lost more and won less, and paid a heavy price.
After Yang Xiufeng finished his official duties, he deplored the losses suffered by these vigilante groups, and as soon as he received a famous regiment fighting the Japanese army, he immediately ordered the troops to provide support to minimize the losses of these vigilante groups as much as possible.
Although the participation of the guerrillas in western Hebei did help these vigilante groups a lot, a large number of enlightened gentry, apart from expressing their gratitude to Yang Xiufeng, did not accept the Eighth Route Army's proposition and join the Eighth Route Army.
In the thinking they had already formed, they thought that the Eighth Route Army was using the name of anti-Japanese resistance to seize the territory, or scrape a layer of land, and when the Japanese brigade came, they fled in a hurry and disappeared.
[Commanders and fighters on the march]
Therefore, he took the initiative to help the Eighth Route Army and rescued them from the encirclement of the Japanese army, expressed a little gratitude, and basically did not respond to yang Xiufeng's common resistance to Japan, including the guerrillas in western Hebei.
After Yang Xiufeng heard the report, he certainly understood that these enlightened gentry organized these vigilante groups in order to defend their respective hometowns from the kneading of the Japanese army. The reason why these enlightened gentry were reluctant to join the Eighth Route Army, and they also watched with them a lot of troops stationed here in the name of anti-Japanese resistance, and when they went to the local area to ask for money and food, they really wanted them to go to the battlefield to fight with the Japanese army, and they ran away early, which made the enlightened gentry often stay away from the Eighth Route Army.
After fully understanding this situation, Yang Xiufeng took the initiative to walk among these enlightened gentry after handling official duties and explained to them that the Eighth Route Army was completely different from any previous unit.
With his own personal experience, he had already served as the administrative person in charge of the eighth route army in charge of one side of the region, telling them that the eighth route army was a team that sincerely resisted Japan and would never do anything that harmed the interests of the masses, still less would it set up a clever name to bully the people.
In Yang Xiufeng's tireless narration, they received great results; both people who were originally from the ranks and based on national indignation saw that the Eighth Route Army had strict discipline and did not happen to force them to buy and sell, which made them very moved, and they resolutely led their troops to join the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, willing to accept Yang Xiufeng's command to participate in the fight against the Japanese invaders.
Yang Xiufeng Xiaozhi explained with emotion and reason, and even let those teams with feudal superstitions and other teams join the Eighth Route Army in response to Yang Xiufeng's call.
During his more than a year as director of the administrative office in Ji'nan, Yang Xiufeng expanded the guerrilla force in western Hebei from two regiments to an integrated brigade of more than 7,000 people. This way of expanding the ranks of the Eighth Route Army is rare in the history of the Eighth Route Army's expansion of the ranks.
The momentum of these 7,000 people and a brigade played a very important role in cracking down on the Japanese army's sweep of the base area in western Hebei and in defending the lives and property of the people in the base area in western Hebei.
Not only that, relying on this powerful anti-Japanese armed force, in the first four months of entering 1940, this unit, which was reorganized into the 11th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, took the initiative to attack, including more than 40 battles with the Japanese troops who came to sweep the base areas, killing more than 800 Japanese troops.
What was even more unexpected was that this team, which had not undergone much formal training and was mainly composed of peasants, actually shot down a Japanese plane in the battle with the Japanese army, aiming and shooting at the planes that flew to the positions of the Japanese army, aiming and shooting at them.
This is by no means a fabrication like the anti-Japanese drama; the Japanese plane shot down by the Jixi guerrillas was that the Japanese pilots were too arrogant and almost hovered over the heads of the soldiers of the 11th Brigade on the position, and the soldiers of the 11th Brigade were extremely angry, chasing after the Japanese plane and shooting non-stop, and finally beat the Japanese plane into smoke and fell out of control on the hill.
