Chapter 159 Wolf Smoke Rises in the Gate 1

readx; In 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which provoked the "18 September" incident and had great ambitions, was full of confidence after occupying the entire territory of the three northeastern provinces, and only then did they discover that things were not as simple as they imagined.

The devil soldiers of the various divisions and regiments of the Kwantung Army, who wanted to make a fortune in the northeast, thought that when they arrived here, the common people of the branch would honestly and obediently present their beautiful wives and daughters and gold and silver treasures to their eyes, but it was a pity that they were greeted by the dense bullets fired from the Mauser box cannon, the sharp blades, the long two-sharp shuttle darts, and the eyes full of hatred in the hands of the local people (the local beard and the Northeast Army and the old department that the police did not have time to withdraw).

Dozens of hundreds of devils who don't know much about the local situation, several squadrons and squads, most of the Northeast Army and local policemen left, arrogantly began to occupy rural towns and towns in batches to fill the vacancies in the Northeast Army, the devils just stepped into one foot and turned into cold corpses the next day, at first the devils thought that this was just a small-scale Zhina people who resisted and couldn't turn up the big waves, but in just two or three months, the devils went crazy.

However, under the cunning and ferocious methods of the Kwantung Army, villages and towns have become no man's land, countless families and wives have been separated, countless husbands have lost their wives, countless wives have lost their husbands, and countless children have lost their parents, grandparents, and amiable elders.

These cruel scenes have further aroused the hatred and resistance of the people of all ethnic groups in Northeast China. But such resistance could not stop the Japanese, armed to the teeth, from using murderous means, relying on high-precision Type 38 rifles, 11-year light machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns, **-type grenadiers and other powerful equipment, and the Japanese frantically swept up the unarmed people to create one white terror after another. As a result, a large number of beards in the Northeast and the old troops of the Northeast Army who fled were all hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, relying on their familiarity with the local geographical environment and playing a cat-and-mouse game with the devils.

The Kwantung Army, who had come and gone to the deep mountains and old forests for countless trips, was so tired that they were like dogs, and after they got nothing and made a fuss, they had to use the traitors and dogs who served them to lead the way, and they destroyed the mountains that dared to resist the Kwantung Army one by one. What annoyed them was that after clearing out a hill at one time, they actually found a lot of arms and materials from Shanhaiguan in the arsenal in the cottage, and after finding out, it was obvious that someone from the Northeast Army had secretly provided arms and materials. Since the hateful Northeast Army in the Guannai is still not giving up, then take this choke point connecting the Northeast and North China to see what Zhang Xueliang will do when the time comes, hehe, by the way, also get the two places of Rehe Province and Inner Mongolia Province.

In addition, the Kwantung Army also knew that Shanhaiguan was the main channel for the Northeast Volunteers to be aided by the Guannai, and it was precisely because of this that the Japanese army would completely wipe out the Chinese defenders of Shanhaiguan in order to eliminate the volunteers in the hinterland. In the eyes of the Kwantung Army, these Northeast Army who supported the Volunteers were hateful, since they ran away and lost the entire three northeastern provinces, where is there a reason to recover back, and now the three northeastern provinces are all working under the leadership of the Great Japanese Empire to build the imperial paradise, and the lost dog-like Zhang Xueliang and his Northeast Army want to come back, anyway, the Great Japanese Empire is about to take Rehe and Inner Mongolia and the Pingjin region, so let Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Army wash their necks and be slaughtered.

For this reason, under the instruction of the top level of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese Kwantung Army continued to build barracks, fortifications, and set up sentry posts in Shanhaiguan Dongluocheng and Dongguan Schoolyard. The 4,000 Japanese troops in front of this Yuguan were eyeing each other, the Japanese artillery positions in the east were condescending, and there were 11 Japanese destroyers anchored on the sea.

Garrisoned at Yuguan was the Ninth Brigade of the Northeast Army under the command of Zhang Xueliang, and had no choice but to retreat in humiliation under the orders of the young marshal to strictly order not to overstimulate the Japanese. This made the Japanese side feel that the Northeast Army was weak and could be bullied, and at the same time thought that this was a good opportunity to stir up trouble, so they instructed Ochiai Shojiro, the captain of the Japanese garrison stationed at Shanhaiguan, to lure He Zhuguo, the commander of the Ninth Brigade, to surrender himself, and Ochiai Shojiro said to his face that the Japanese side was willing to help He Zhuguo capture Rehe and establish an autonomous government including Jidong and Rehe. He Zhuguo, who had already known in his heart, did not believe that the Japanese could be perfunctory when they could delay the Japanese invasion of the Japanese side, and in the end they never agreed.

After tossing for several days, the Japanese side only discovered at this time that the hateful He Zhuguo in front of them was actually soft and hard, and the angry devils began to constantly create incidents, taking the opportunity to start a war to create an excuse to take Shanhaiguan.

Beginning in May 1932, the Japanese, who were afraid that the matter would not be big enough, first created the so-called "Volunteer Army Incident", "Incident of Forcibly Climbing the First Pass City Wall", and "Shelling of Yuguan Incident", thinking that under such constant humiliation and stimulation, the Northeast Army would not be able to help but fight, but what surprised them was that the Northeast Army actually gave in, so that the flames of war were not ignited, and the conspiracy of the little devils could not be carried out.

Beginning in December 1932, after the "shelling of Yuguan incident" first provoked by the Japanese army, He Zhuguo, who had just fooled the Japanese, knew very well that the little Japanese devils would never give up, and he felt that the situation was urgent, and he rushed to Beiping to report to Zhang Xueliang about the current situation in Yuguan.

As Zhang Xueliang, who lost the entire three eastern provinces, was determined to resist in order to wash away the shame of "September 18th", but he knew that there was no way to resist the little devil's navy, land and air forces with his own strength, and the Northeast Army could still fight with small Japan if the sea, land and air were complete, the problem was that now he could only protect himself and think further was powerless, and Zhang Shaoshuai, who knew well, made a comprehensive military deployment along the Great Wall (the command ability of the young marshal is still a little, On the other hand, Wang Tiehan, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe and others, who had had contact with the China Social League, secretly went to the areas controlled by the Central Social League in the four northwestern provinces to bring rescue troops to Long Bazun.

Before the war, the Japanese army gathered about 3,000 troops in Yuguan, including 40 field guns, 3 ironclad vehicles, 20 tanks, 8 aircraft, and 2 warships. The devils think that with this little military strength, they can easily take down the Northeast Army, the enemy in front of them. The squadron in Yuguan City only has the 626th Regiment of the Ninth Brigade, with a strength of 2,257 people, and its armament is only mortars, anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, and the two battalions of the 625th Regiment and the 627th Regiment are stationed on the periphery of Yuguan.

At noon on 1 January 1933, Japanese expatriates in Yuguan suddenly received a notice from the Japanese gendarmerie and immediately moved to the "South China Sea" -- the location of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces camp (a blind person can see that this was premeditated). Seeing this, the Chinese people knew that something big was going to happen, so they also packed up and fled out of the city in a car. In the afternoon, the Japanese garrison suddenly confiscated the firearms of the Nanguan police and seized the director of the Nanguan Public Security Bureau.

At about 21 p.m., Lieutenant Kodama of the Japanese garrison sent people to throw a fake grenade in front of the station branch of the Japanese gendarmerie and the Manchukuo Border Police Department, causing an explosion. A large number of Japanese troops drove from outside the pass, one Japanese army occupied Nanguan and fired intensively at the defenders of the South Gate City, while the other group of Japanese troops climbed the city wall at the southeast corner of the city, while the Japanese ironclad cars drove into the station and opened fire into the city.

Chen Ruiming, the chief secretary of the Foreign Affairs Section of the Ninth Brigade, immediately inquired about the Japanese side, and the cunning Ochiai himself falsely claimed in front of Chen Ruiming that it was your Northeast Army that fired the gun first, and that the Imperial Japanese Army fought back out of self-defense.

At the same time, when Chen Ruiming and Ochiai were fighting, Yu Jianzhang, chief of staff of the Ninth Brigade, reported the situation at Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) to He Zhuguo, who was in Beiping, and informed the Japanese commander to return to Yuhai immediately to negotiate, and at the same time urgently deployed troops and notified the 626th Regiment to enter a state of imminent battle. Later, the arrogant Japanese army proposed that for the sake of the safety of Manchuria, Mongolia and the lifeline of the Japanese Empire, Nanguan must be occupied, and demanded that the Northeast Army stationed here leave quickly, and said that the Imperial Army did not want to further expand the situation.

However, Lieutenant Kodama, who caused the "grenade incident", was bent on making great contributions, and did not care about the order issued by the military headquarters of the Kwantung Army that no war should start until reinforcements arrived. He himself led several soldiers to climb the wall of the south gate with impunity, and when he climbed to the middle, he threw grenades at the wall, injuring four of our soldiers.

The Chinese soldiers, who were enraged and couldn't bear it at the same time, also threw down a grenade, and it was impartial that the German original with the ingredients fell right on Kodama's head, killing the militarist madman who had been causing trouble for many days.

In the three-day Yuguan War of Resistance, because Kodama was a fool (the commanders of the Kwantung Army who were mobilizing reinforcements were scolding this brainless guy), the small number of Japanese troops exchanged fire with the Northeast Army defending the city without a large number of reinforcements, and the Japanese army continued to increase its strength from the Northeast while fighting with the Northeast Army, and concentrated the army, navy and air force to launch a fierce attack on Yuguan City from the ground, sky and sea.

Relying on advanced weapons, the Japanese army was pressing forward step by step, and after a fierce battle, the Northeast Army, which had few troops and little heavy weapons and equipment, was defeated by the Japanese army after repeated fierce battles, and the Japanese army was successively occupied at the south gate, the north gate, and the west gate, and from now on, the Japanese army temporarily gained the upper hand. In the face of the enemy, who had an absolute superiority in strength and weapons, the squadron defending the city had the determination to die and recaptured the lost territory several times; After the city gate was breached, it started a street battle with the Japanese army, writing a page in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

(In the original history, An Dexin, the commander of the first battalion, said to the soldiers before the war: "One day in Shanhaiguan, the Japanese don't want to go over, and if they want to pass, they can only step on my corpse.") In the battle, An Dexin took the lead and rushed to the front. After the south gate was occupied, Commander An led the soldiers in a street battle, first wounded in the hand and shot in the back leg, but he did not hesitate to continue the fight, and finally was shot in two places in the head and abdomen, and died heroically. A soldier strafed the machine gun on the city wall, put the body of the battalion commander into a sack and snatched it, and then transported his body to Baoding for burial.

Liu Yuchen, the commander of the first battalion and the second company, led the army to defend the southeast corner of the city wall, which was blasted open by the Japanese army, and the company commander Liu ambushed the broadsword team on both sides of the gap, killing more than 20 Japanese soldiers who rushed in from here, and frightened the enemy to turn around and flee for his life. The Japanese artillery attacked the southeast corner, and Company Commander Liu led the soldiers not to take a step back, and all the officers and soldiers of the second company were martyred.

After the Japanese army occupied the city wall, many defenders would rather die than surrender and jumped off the city wall one after another; In the process of the Japanese army entering the city, a Chinese soldier suddenly jumped up from the corpses of the defenders, wielding a broadsword and killing several Japanese soldiers in succession, and finally died under the indiscriminate guns of the Japanese army; A soldier was naked/naked, fighting a platoon of enemy soldiers with a broadsword, killing seven people in a row before dying.

Yuguan fell, and Shi Shi'an, the commander of the 626th Regiment, was in pain and wanted to pull out a gun and commit suicide to repay the country with death, but fortunately was stopped by the soldiers. On the afternoon of the 3rd, Shi led the rest of the retreat from the Northwest Water Gate to the west bank of the Shihe River. In this battle, the Chinese defenders suffered 586 casualties, which was 1.5 times that of the Japanese army, the first battalion was almost completely wiped out, the battalion commander and four company commanders were martyred, and the Yuguan War of Resistance ended in a tragic defeat for the Chinese/army. However, the Yuguan War of Resistance was the first large-scale resistance of the Chinese army to the Japanese invasion by force since the First Sino-Japanese War, and it was also the precursor of the Great Wall War of Resistance, the largest anti-Japanese campaign of the Chinese army before the "77" Incident, which was of great significance in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. )
