Zhang Zizhong, whose name is Xunchen, was born on August 11, 1891 in an official family in Tangyuan Village, Linqing, Shandong. Zhang Zizhong entered a private school at the age of 6, and 3 years later, his father Zhang Shugui went to Ganyu, Jiangsu Province to take up the post of inspector and took Zhang Zizhong with him.

In 1905, Zhang Shugui was the acting governor of Ganyu County because of his good political achievements, and he was promoted to five official ranks. At this time, Zhang Zizhong was 14 years old and had grown into a heroic teenager full of a sense of justice. Zhang Shugui saw that his son had grown up and was strong by nature, so he sent him back to his hometown in Linqing. Soon after Zhang Zizhong returned to Linqing, bad news came from Ganyu: his father died of illness.

In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (1908), he was admitted to Linqing Higher Primary School. The traditional morality of emphasizing loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness has taken deep root in Zhang Zizhong's heart since he was a child.

In addition to studying, Zhang Zizhong often borrowed some novels to read for recreation. What he loves the most is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Speaking of Tang" and "Speaking of Yue Jingzhong". These classical masterpieces made living annotations on traditional morality, and the loyalty, righteousness, chivalry, and heroic spirit of Guan Yunchang, Yue Wumu, and Qin Shubao had a profound influence on him.

In October of the third year of Xuantong (1911), the Xinhai Revolution broke out. In the winter, Zhang Zizhong was admitted to the Tianjin Beiyang School of Law and Politics, a well-known law school in northern China at that time. It was here that he first came into contact with Sun Yat-sen's doctrine of the Three People's Principles and the bourgeois revolutionary program of "expelling the tart, restoring China, establishing the Republic of China, and equalizing land rights".

These deafening and progressive ideas added new content to his mind, which originally only knew the way of Confucius and Mencius, and had a considerable impact on his future growth. At the end of 1911, Zhang Zizhong secretly joined the League and personally participated in the vigorous revolutionary movement.

In September 1916, his fellow villager Che Zhen and Zhang Zizhong went to Langfang and recommended him to Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang listened to the introduction of his old friend, looked Zhang Zizhong up and down, and saw that he was tall and heroic, and he had a "calm and resolute spirit", so he accepted him very satisfied.

At the beginning of defecting to Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Zizhong was appointed as a lieutenant. Soon, Zhang Zizhong was promoted from a trainee officer to a platoon commander, and the company commander was Shi Yousan, a well-known "defective general" later.

In September 1918, Feng Yuxiang set up an officer training regiment in Changde, with Lu Zhonglin, the head of the artillery regiment, as the commander. Zhang Zizhong was sent to the officer corps of the teaching regiment for further study. Mainly learn tactics, military command, terrain, weapons, military history, city building, simple surveying and mapping, etc.

In the spring of 1924, Zhang Zizhong was appointed by Feng Yuxiang as the head of the Cadet Corps. In the autumn of that year, the Second Zhibong War broke out. Wu Peifu appointed Feng Yuxiang as the commander-in-chief of the Third Army and ordered him to attack Kailu out of Gubeikou, but Feng Yuxiang secretly returned to Beijing and joined forces with Sun Yue's troops stationed in Beijing, launched a coup d'état in Beijing, imprisoned the direct leader Cao Kun, and expelled Emperor Puyi from the palace.

In the process, Zhang Zizhong's troops were ordered to go straight from Gubeikou to Changxindian, intercept Wu Peifu's traffic corps, and force it to surrender. Soon, Zhang Zizhong was ordered to move to Fengtai. Zhang Zizhong led his troops to Fengtai, expelled the British army, and regained the sovereignty of Fengtai.

In May 1930, the Battle of the Central Plains, an unprecedented warlord battle in China's modern history, broke out, with 1.3 million troops from both sides. At this time, Zhang Zizhong served as the commander of the 6th Division and was incorporated into the Southern Route Army under the command of Zhang Weixi.

In early May, the Southern Route Army first launched a battle against Chiang's army on the Pinghan Line. In mid-May, Zhang Zizhong commanded the 6th Division to recapture Xuchang Wulidian from Chiang's Xu Yuanquan Division overnight. In mid-June, Zhang Zizhong and other troops were transferred from the Pinghan Line to the Longhai Line to support the Eastern Route Army. Defeated the 2nd Division of Chiang's elite Zhang Zhizhong in Gao Xianji.

His chief of staff, Zhang Kexia, commented: "His determination is strong and he is excited in the face of danger. Whenever the situation is urgent, he is calm and self-controlled, and his expression is calm. ”

On September 18, 1930, Zhang Xueliang, the commander of the Northeast Army, who had been sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, announced that he would abandon his neutral position, send a telegram to support Chiang, and then waved his army into the customs to occupy North China. In addition to the 17th Brigade of Liang Guanying, Zhang Zizhong's 6th Division also had a section of the 15th and 16th Brigades and most of the pistol regiments, about 5,000 people, and was one of the most complete units in the remnants of the Northwest Army.

On January 16, 1931, the remnants of the Northwest Army were formally organized into the 3rd Army of the Northeast Frontier Army, with Song Zheyuan as the commander, Qin Dechun and Liu Ruming as the deputy commanders, Feng Zhi'an as the commander of the 37th Division, and Zhang Zizhong as the commander of the 38th Division. In June of the same year, the Nanjing government began to reorganize the national army, and the 3rd Army was renamed the 29th Army.

On January 10, 1933, the main force of the 29th Army was ordered to go from Yangquan, Shanxi to Tongzhou, Sanhe, Jixian, and Yutian to standby. This was the first time Zhang Zizhong had fought with the Japanese army in his life.

After the fall of Chengde on March 4, 1933, the 29th Army was ordered to go to Xifengkou to block the enemy, and Lengkou Defense was handed over to the Earthquake Department to take over. On March 7, Zhang Zizhong and Feng Zhi'an arrived at the Santun camp in Zunhua and fought fiercely with the Japanese army for seven days, but the Japanese army could not win, and turned the main attack direction to Luo Wenyu.

Zhang Zizhong and Feng Zhi'an transferred the 219th Regiment of Liu Jingshan of the 37th Division and the 228th Regiment of Qi Guangyuan of the 38th Division to Luo Wenyu and placed them under the command of Division Commander Liu Ruming. As a result of the battle, the Japanese army suffered another defeat and retreated in disarray. This was one of the rare victories of the Chinese army in the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

However, due to Chiang Kai-shek's main attention at this time still on the "encirclement and suppression" of the Communist Party and the Red Army, the Great Wall defense line was weak, the Japanese army broke through the Shangzhen defense line from Lengkou, attacked the Great Wall, and then occupied Qian'an, the 29th Army fell into a situation of being isolated and helpless, and was forced to abandon the Xifengkou and Luowenyu positions and retreat to the southwest.

The Nationalist Government stepped up its efforts to seek an armistice with the Japanese army, and was finally forced to sign the humiliating Tanggu Agreement with the Japanese side.

In February 1937, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party negotiated peace, and the anti-Japanese national united front was initially formed. On July 7, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out. At the time of the incident, Zhang Zizhong was in bed in Beiping for treatment, and among the senior officials, only Qin Dechun, the mayor of Beiping, presided over the work. On the night of the 10th, Matsui Taikuro, chief of the Japanese special service in Beiping, and Takeo Imai, assistant military attache of the Japanese Army stationed in Beiping, met with Zhang Zizhong and returned in vain.

Chiang Kai-shek negotiated peace, and the public opinion circles in Pingjin once thought that Zhang Zizhong was a "traitor". On August 6, Zhang Zizhong and his adjutant Liao Baozhen and Zhou Baoheng hid in the German Hospital in Dongjiaomin Lane; At the same time, a statement was issued through the "Peking Morning Post" and other media, announcing his resignation from all acting positions. On the 8th, Beiping fell. On September 3, Zhang Zizhong fled Beiping.

In 1938, when He Jifeng, commander of the 179th Division of the 77th Army under General Zhang Zizhong, was stationed in Yangping, he was extremely dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's passive resistance to the war, resulting in many of his generals being framed and killed.

Throughout Zhang Zizhong's life, it can be described as remarkable, at present, the Zaoyi War is in full swing, and people are looking forward to his final performance.

After a day of fighting on the 15th, the 74th Division and the Special Service Battalion suffered some losses, and their strength was sharply reduced to 1,500 people.

Because the troops were fighting and marching at the same time, they did not arrive at the pumpkin shop until the afternoon of the 15th.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Zizhong climbed a hill in the pumpkin shop and looked around with a telescope, and found that the surrounding area was full of Japanese officers and soldiers in yellow uniforms moving, gunfire everywhere, and battle fires everywhere.

Zhang Zizhong's heart sank, and he understood that the troops had fallen into a heavy siege.

Zhang Zizhong gathered the personnel of the group army headquarters, the special service battalion, and the principal cadres of the 74 th Division to give a lecture, and he said to everyone: "To tell everyone, we are now in a heavy encirclement, and the situation is quite tight. However, as soldiers, we must remain calm and united at all times. As long as everyone does not leave the army, there will always be a way. ”

Zhang Zizhong immediately gave an order to Huang Weigang, the commander of the 38th Division, ordering him to go south as soon as possible to support. However, Huang Weigang was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army at that time, and it was impossible to arrive in a short time.

Zhang Zizhong asked Huang Qixiang's 11th Army for support, but at that time, the 11th Army was retreating northward, and Zhong Yi, the commander of the 174th Division, was martyred because of His Royal Highness, so he obviously couldn't help him.

Now the only one close is the 9th Cavalry Division, but this cavalry division actually has no horses, and almost all the divisions are recruits, and the strength is very small, so it can only be used as a sabotage, guerrilla, alert, response, etc., and it can't confront the main force of the Japanese army head-on at all, so it can't help much.

On the night of the 15th, there was another night of fighting, and although the gunfire continued, both sides were constantly groping for each other's reality in anticipation of a bigger battle at dawn the next day.

In the midst of fierce gunfire, Han Xing woke up from his dream, looking at the deep blue in the east, and he was reluctant to give up for the stars and moon that were about to disappear? Or is it for the mood in last night's dream? There is no need to ask anything, but to seek peace of mind. yes! I know that the dawn is flickering and the dawn is coming, so why don't I let go of the hope of a new day in the blue dawn? To show the passion of the battle?

Know that you like blue, dark night, pure blue lake, light blue butterfly flowers, and everything in the blue collection. However, my favorite is the blue. Because the blue symbolizes the vastness and vastness, the blue reflects the depth and tranquility, and the blue means purity and sacredness......

yes! If the dream is blue, then the dream must be as pure and sacred as a fairy tale, how many times when recalling the blue dream, there is always a blue hut, always a blue sky, there will always be a blue bird light in the breeze, and the quiet winding path is also blooming on both sides of the light blue chariot chrysanthemum, and there are golden bells in the flowers whispering blue songs......

I like blue, but also because blue represents the maturity of the bright, contains the infinity of reverie, whenever you gaze at the blue landscape, you will produce a lot of reverie, ethereal and ethereal.

As soon as dawn, the Japanese 39th Division launched a full-scale attack. Why was the Japanese army so anxious, because on the evening of the 15th, the Japanese army headquarters once again confirmed that the headquarters of the 33rd Group Army was in the pumpkin shop through radio detection, so it issued an order to be annihilated in a short time.

This time, in addition to investing more than 5,000 troops, the 39th Division also had the support of the 3rd Flying Regiment of Sang Ming Zhuonan, especially the 44th and 75th Light Bombing Squadrons, and the 17th Independent Reconnaissance Squadron.

In this way, the Japanese army had a threefold superiority in strength, especially in the air. Sang Ming Zhuonan counted on the first round of attacks, and razed the positions of the 33rd Army to the ground.
