Zhang Zhengguang: A "meeting" returned to the Anti-Japanese War Beacon

Portrait of Zhang Zhengguang (Hu Xuan painting) Rednet Yanling Station, August 28 (Correspondent Zhang Qiaoli) Looking south from the front of the Yandi Mausoleum Hall in Yanling County, the mountain with the most cutting-edge view is Yunqiu Mountain (1383 meters above sea level), also known as the Golden Purple Immortal. Most of the foothills of Yunqiu Mountain are in the territory of Dongfeng Township. It is known as "climbing to the top of the peak and stepping on the four counties" (Yanling, Anren, Yongxing, Zixing). "Yun Qiu Yu Ji" is even more famous for being one of the "Old Eight Scenic Spots" of the Yan Emperor Mausoleum. At the foot of Yunqiu Mountain, there is Zhang Zhengguang, an anti-Japanese veteran who was almost missed. Zhang Lao was born on August 19, 1922 in taipingling village group 3 of Dongfeng Township, and now lives with his family in Yanling County.

On the 5th floor of a residential area in Yanling County, the author visited this old man who had experienced the baptism of fire. Zhang Lao's granddaughter said: "If it were not for Grandpa Tan Zucheng (a confirmed anti-Japanese veteran) who brought up the topic of 'Zhang Zhengguang and he is a comrade-in-arms', the identity of Grandpa's anti-Japanese veteran would almost be omitted." After many efforts, two comrades-in-arms who have passed their old age and have been separated for decades met again and spent a pleasant afternoon.

Since 2009, Zhang Lao has the symptoms of "Alzheimer's disease", memory is confused, things are often thrown around and thrown around, speech is often preceded by words, and the condition is good and bad, and it is aggravated year by year. Today, Zhang Laolian's family can no longer distinguish between them. Because he was afraid that Zhang Lao would get lost and lost, his family told Zhang Lao to move his legs and feet at home and stay at home all year round.

Elder Zhang's granddaughter said that if she wanted to talk to Elder Zhang, as long as she raised the decibel and said, "The meeting will be held immediately", Elder Zhang, who usually talks to himself, will immediately quiet down, sit on the edge of the bed in a disciplined manner, and naturally put his hands on his knees, like a soldier attending the meeting. When taking a photo with Elder Zhang, we now learned the method told by Elder Zhang's granddaughter, and the effect was immediate. After the group photo, Zhang Lao's granddaughter held out a bunch of honorary certificates and some forms recording Zhang Lao's resume, and the author sorted them out again and again, listing them as follows:

In August 1939, Zhang Zhengguang, who was not yet 17 years old, was recruited into the army and was subordinate to the commander of the Ninth Theater, Xue Yue, the commander of the 49th Army, and the 2nd Battalion, 240th Regiment, 9th Division, 2nd Battalion, 3 companies, 2nd Platoon. The military commander Liu Duoquan, the division commander, Zhang Yanchuan, the battalion commander Liu Hanwen, and the company commander Dang Zhiping.

In the first month of 1940, Zhang Lao and his troops engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese army invading Nanchang City in Fengcheng, Guanqiao and other places in Jiangxi For more than 40 days.

In January 1941, the 9th Reserve Division of the 49th Army was transferred to the jurisdiction of the 70th Army due to the reorganization of the troops, and the commander of the army, Li Jue.

On March 15, 1941, the commander of the Japanese 11th Army, Akibe Kazuichiro, commanded a large force composed of 2 divisions and 1 independent mixed brigade, and attacked the Shanggao area in 3 ways from Anyi and Nanchang in an attempt to annihilate the main force of a group army in the Kuomintang 9th Theater. Therefore, from March 15 to April 9, 1941, Zhang Lao and his troops fought a 25-day tug-of-war with the Japanese army in Shanggao, northern Gansu.

In May 1942, Zhang Lao, along with the 70th Army, entered the Battle of Zhejiang and Gansu. After the Battle of Zhejiang and Gansu, Zhang Lao was transferred with his troops to Nanping, Pucheng, Lianjiang and other places in Fuzhou to accept the reorganization and take over the defense of the garrison.

In 1944, Zhang Lao and his troops blocked the Japanese attack in Lianjiang County, Fujian Province, and then because of the traitors leading the way to detour the rear position, the defensive line collapsed, and the whole division retreated.

At the beginning of 1945, Zhang Lao and his troops repeatedly engaged the Japanese army in Zhejiang Province, Anhui Province and other places. On August 15, 1945, the news of Japan's unconditional surrender came from the front. Zhang Zhengguang and his troops accepted the surrender of the Japanese devils in Hangzhou.
