Chapter 527: The Sadness of the War of Resistance (1)

"Xingya, you also have a hard trip, you take Adjutant Xu to Dongdaying, and in the name of Rong Zhen, bring the instructors and students of the Northeast Lecture Hall and the Northeast Aviation School here, and we will retreat with them."

Brother Han Guangdi stopped Qi Xingya, who wanted to say something, and continued disdainfully: "Wait until you get to Siping, and then explain the situation to them, those students and instructors who are willing to join our Fourth Route Army will send them to Taiyuan to continue their studies, and if they are unwilling, send them to Beiping to find Zhang Xueliang." ”

Han Guangdi said to Li Jichuan again: "Jichuan, you can be wronged for the time being, and I will appoint you as the chief of staff of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Corps." ”

Li Jichuan didn't really care about what position he held, but the habits he had developed in the Northeast Army for many years made him still tǐngxiōng Lizheng replied: "Commander Xie cultivates, and Jichuan will definitely live up to the commander's high expectations." ”

Han Guangdi continued: "Gao Zhihang, chief of staff of our Fourth Route Army, is now at the Dongta Airport, where there are planes of one of our squadrons, which are equipped with the latest night navigation equipment and can take off at night without losing their direction. ”

"Can you take off at night?" Li Jichuan and Qi Xingya were both surprised and couldn't close their mouths.

Although neither of them is an Air Force personnel, nor is it like Zhang Xueliang who can fly a plane himself, but after all, they are in a high-position center, and they still know this common sense. Nowadays, the reason why airplanes do not fly during the day is that pilots have to use ground references, such as rivers, mountains, cities and other landmarks to control the course, and at night without these references, pilots will never dare to fly only with a compass. Not only will you not be able to find the airport, but you will even crash because you run out of fuel.

And such an advanced equipment that can be used for navigation at night, the Fourth Route Army actually developed it itself, which can't help but add a lot of admiration to Song Zhewu for Qi Xingya and Li Jichuan.

Han Guangdi looked at the surprised two, smiled proudly and said, "Yes, it can take off at night, and it will not lose its direction when flying thousands of kilometers." This is a new type of equipment developed by the Electronics Research Institute of the Fourth Route Army Academy of Sciences. ”

"According to the Chief of Staff Gao, up to now, only the planes of our Fourth Route Army in the world have this equipment, not to mention the Japanese, not even the European and American powers."

Han Guangdi turned back to the topic and said: "Jichuan, Dongta Airport, there are more than 200 pilots trained by our Fourth Route Army at the Northeast Aviation School and Dongta Airport, after you arrived at Dongta Airport, in the name of Rong Zhen, you ordered all the pilots and ground crew of Dongta Airport to obey the command of the senior chief of staff, and flew the plane to our field airfield in Nanméng overnight. The planes at the Dongta airfield are all treasures, and none of these planes can be left to the Kwantung Army. Zhang Xueliang doesn't want it, we want it from the Fourth Route Army. ”

Qi Xingya agreed with Han Guangdi's arrangement: "These planes alone are worth more than 20 million, which are all exchanged for the hard-earned money of the Northeast fathers, and none of them can be cheaper for the Japanese." ”

After thinking about it, Qi Xingya added: "Jichuan, in order to prevent accidents, you bring the military police brigade of Captain Zhu again, and it is said that Chief of Staff Rong specially ordered you to come to the airport to sit in battle in order to prevent someone from not carrying out the young marshal's order of non-resistance and preventing the planes at the Dongta Airport from taking off to bomb the Kwantung Army after dawn." ”

"And ......"

Qi Xingya was a little uneasy and advised: "Chen Haihua should be at the airport now, when you get there, you let Chen Haihua take the airport guard away first." Remember, if you can not kill, it is better not to do it, they are all Chinese, and they are also obeying orders. ”

This task is indeed very important, and it is a great achievement to be able to fly away all the planes at Dongta Airport, and Li Jichuan naturally gladly took the order and left.

Beidaying was established by Xu Shichang, the first governor of the three eastern provinces and in charge of general affairs, when the province was formally established in the northeast in the 33rd year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty and changed General Shengjing to the governor of the three eastern provinces. Xu Shichang ordered the construction of a barracks near Shenyang, and purchased land as a camp site in the Lama Garden outside Mén, which is about 5 kilometers north of Shenyang and about 300 meters west of the South Manchurian Railway.

The entire Beidaying camp is square, with a length of about 2,000 meters on each side. It is surrounded by a two-meter-high earthen enclosure, which is very wide, and two people can be paralleled on it, digging a trench 1 meter deep and 3 meters wide on both sides of the earthen wall, and the rainwater flows into the ditch in summer to form a natural moat.

There is a large mén in the middle of each side of the wall of the northern camp, and there is a sentry post. The south mén is the main camp mén, with a guard room. The outer avenue of Mén is connected to Mén, the small north side of Shenyang City, through the Lama's Garden and the Houlaogua Fort. ,

In the camp, the south is the large cào field, and there are military houses on the east, west and north sides, with a total of more than 3,550 rooms, even if 30,000 people are stationed, it is more than enough.

In the barracks, the company, battalion, and regiment are separated by walls to form a phalanx, and the brigade headquarters is in the middle. Between the edge of the large cào field and the barracks, there is a "horseshoe-shaped" boulevard with a road surface 3 meters wide that allows for parallel four-way columns. From the south of Mén to the headquarters of the 7th Brigade, there is a direct road and a huge bluestone shadow wall.

In the early years of the camp, many trees were planted, and after decades of growth, these trees have grown to thick trunks and lush foliage. These trees in Beidaying are still very distinctive, and each tree retains only three thick branches and forks at a height of more than three meters.

The purpose of this is to squat between the forks of the trees to observe the enemy's situation and shè attacks without being detected when a foreign enemy attacks the North Battalion; These trees are all in groups of three trees forming a triangle; Each group of trees is connected to the other group of trees, thus forming a natural shelter in the camp.

Wang Yizhe poured a lot of effort into the Seventh Brigade. Although the Northeast Army was very wealthy, for example, its equipment was better than that of many central armies, but the daily life of the soldiers was still very hard, like that of many other troops, and there were even deserters in the troops.

After Wang Yizhe led the 7th Brigade into the Beida Battalion, he saw that there was a lot of open space inside and outside the Beida Battalion wall, so in order to improve the living conditions of the troops, he ordered the brigade to make a unified plan, distribute the wasteland to all battalions and companies, and use the training interval to plant cabbage, radish, beans, lettuce, and other vegetables. In this way, it not only beautifies the barracks, but also saves food costs, so that the soldiers can have better food.

Each company of the Seventh Brigade has three mules and horses and one iron car, and in addition to pulling and transporting supplies, horse grass, and horse fodder every month, they use this batch of animal power to plow, and select soldiers who can grow vegetables, and form a "production squad" to be responsible for planting vegetables.

In addition, it is also required that each company should raise pigs, and designate a man to be responsible for raising them and leave them for slaughter during the New Year; In peacetime, the big ones are also killed in one bite or two to improve the lives of soldiers. With both oil, ròu to eat, and plenty of vegetables, the food of the soldiers of the 7th Brigade was greatly improved.

In addition to these additional additions, Wang Yizhe also reiterated once again that no one may deduct military pay under any pretext, and anyone who is found to have deducted military pay will be shot. Therefore, the food of the 7th Brigade was also the best in the entire Northeast Army. If life is good, there will naturally be no more deserters, and since entering the Beida Battalion, the Seventh Brigade has never had a deserter.

In addition to actively improving the lives of officers and men and vigorously grasping the technical and tactical training of the troops, Wang Yizhe also vigorously improved the quality of officers.

In order to train the officers in the brigade in their combat command ability, Wang Yizhe also organized an infantry study class in the Seventh Brigade on his own, and officers below the rank of captain were transferred from each regiment to each regiment as a six-month rotational training. And Du Changling, who graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School, was invited to preside over it.

Du Changling, known as Crane Year, once served as the colonel captain of the First Infantry Brigade of the Northeast Army Guard. He joined the army in his early years and graduated from the fourth phase of the Northeast Lecture Hall in 1923. He served as a platoon company commander in the 2nd and 6th Brigades of the Zhenwei Army of Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling, and was sent to the Japanese Infantry School by Zhang Xueliang in 1926. After graduating in 1929, he returned to serve as the director of the Northeast Army's lecture hall, and was hired by Wang Yizhe, the commander of the 7th Brigade stationed in Shenyang's Beidaying. Zhang Xueliang praised the teaching results of the infantry study class run by the Seventh Brigade on many occasions because of the remarkable educational results. Du Changling was soon transferred away and served as the head of the infantry class of the Higher Military Research Class in the Northeast Lecture and Martial Arts Hall, specializing in training lieutenant officers for the Northeast Army.

In addition, Wang Yizhe also hired Wang Weifan, Ma Zhenyi, Wang Zhaozhi and other military officers as instructors. Some of them graduated from the Japanese Infantry School and had specialized studies of infantry; Some graduated from the Japanese Artillery School, such as artillery instructor He Hongyuan.

In order to train the cadets of the infantry study class to command the actual troops and to train the squad leaders of the troops, a non-commissioned officer corps was specially set up, and 120 literate soldiers from various regiments, battalions, and companies were selected to participate. The captain of the sergeant corps was initially served by Gao Fuyuan, a major attached to the 621st Regiment, and was later replaced by Li Baolian, who graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School.

Although Wang Yizhe is only the commander of the Seventh Brigade, he is not only thinking about his Seventh Brigade, he is thinking about the entire Northeast Army, and what he does is even more so, so he is more valued by Zhang Xueliang and can be called Zhang Xueliang's absolute confidant. Many people can see that in time, Wang Yizhe will inevitably become the second person in the Northeast Army after Zhang Xueliang.

In 29, Wang Yizhe suggested to Zhang Xueliang to set up a Northeast student team, which was originally located in Xixiawazi. Later, the lecture hall was moved to Dongshanzuizi, and the student team moved to the old site of the original lecture hall. Wang Yizhe sent Ji Shaogang, who graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, as the captain of the colonel, and recruited 500 students who had graduated from high elementary schools at the age of 16 in each session to join the team for training. The content of the education is both general science and military science, and the graduation is three years. After graduating, the students of the student team will enter the lecture hall for further study. ,

Wang Yizhe's suggestion has trained many middle and high-level talents for the Northeast Army. Many of the students in the student corps were later admitted to higher military academies and studied abroad, and there were also many who had been serving in the Kuomintang troops. For example, Song Changzhi, who later became a first-class admiral of the Navy of the Republic of China, Wang Changnian, deputy commander-in-chief of the army, Ma Anlan, commander-in-chief of the army, and others.

Officers at all levels of the 7th Brigade have a higher level of education and are of better quality. Among them, there are graduates of military education institutions such as the Army University, Baoding Military Academy, Northeast Lecture Hall, Higher Military Studies Research Class, Officer Education Class, and Teaching Team; There are also many who have graduated from the Japanese Infantry School and the Non-commissioned Officer School and returned to China; There are also those who have graduated from the British, American, and French schools and returned to China, which can be said to be full of talents, which cannot be compared with other brigades of the Northeast Army.

In spite of this, Wang Yizhe did not slacken his training in the training of officers, and he had to go to the officers to conduct cadre training once a day at noon, especially the officers below the company commander level must conscientiously carry out the training, mainly training assassination techniques and standard tactical movements.

With regard to the education of soldiers, Wang Yizhe did not relax his efforts, and the staff office of the brigade headquarters drew up an annual education plan and sent it to all regiments and companies directly under him, and then each regiment drew up a weekly academic education plan implementation form, which was printed and distributed to all battalions and companies to follow and implement.

In addition, Wang Yizhe also personally compiled the "Brigade Training", "Brigade Song" and "Twelve Questions and Answers for Soldiers" and printed them to all battalions, companies, and platoons; It is posted in the military hall and lecture hall as an educational subject that must be carried out during the morning and evening roll call.

The full text of the "Brigade Training" of the Seventh Brigade is as follows: Our nation is oppressed by its strong neighbors and is in danger at present. All our brigade officers, soldiers, soldiers, husbands, etc., should sacrifice everything in the will of the Prime Minister and the will of the commander, work hard, and unite with the gods and sincerity of mutual assistance, and go to the national disaster together.

At this time, although the Northeast changed its banner and changed its flag, because the Northeast was still relatively independent, there was no ideological education and political and ideological education for military education, and the Northeast Army did not have a very strong sense of national identity. The "Brigade Training," "Brigade Song," and "Questions and Answers for Soldiers" compiled by Wang Yizhe are unique and rare in the Northeast Army.

As a result, Wang Yizhe's approach was ridiculed by many generals of the Northeast Army, and some people even went to Zhang Xueliang to tell the truth of the matter. Some people say, "Wang Laoding is full of foreign appearance." Some people also said: "Wang Triangle is blind to the limelight." "Yunyun.

Because Wang Yizhe's eyes glared when he was angry, it happened to form an equilateral triangle, so he was nicknamed Wang Triangle.

No matter what others say, Wang Yizhe is just unmoved, and still goes his own way as always.

Under Wang Yizhe's training of the Seventh Brigade, the Seventh Brigade of the Beida Battalion has a high level of combat quality and combat skills, and it can indeed be called the Jīng Rui of the Northeast Army. And the Beida Battalion is also under the management of the Seventh Brigade, showing a thriving scene.

It's just that in the gunfire of 9.18, this thriving scene of the Beida Camp was completely destroyed by the murderous Kwantung Army.

At this moment, the Beida Battalion has become a Shura field, and the Japanese soldiers with bloody bayonets are frantically chasing and killing the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Brigade with their bare hands.

As soon as the artillery in the direction of Beidaying rang out, Wang Tiehan, the commander of the 620th Regiment of the Seventh Brigade, who was at home in Shenyang City, knew that things were not good.

It is thought that in the past Japanese exercises, although the rampant Japanese troops also fired at the Beida Battalion, they never carried out artillery bombardment in the direction of the Beida Battalion.

In particular, Wang Tiehan could hear that in addition to the sound of 75mm mountain artillery, there was also the explosion of shells fired by larger caliber artillery. It is also too strange that the Japanese army used such a large-caliber artillery to fire live ammunition during night exercises.

Wang Tiehan couldn't help but secretly regret that he shouldn't go home. However, today is the weekend, and the Northern Frontier Chief's Office sent a notice telling them that there will be a Japanese army exercise tonight, and that there is a flood relief charity exercise organized by the provincial government in the city, and several of their regiment commanders have to go.

Regret to regret, Wang Tiehan didn't have time to think too much, hurriedly comforted his panicked wife for a few words, quickly got dressed, went to the courtyard to call the guards, led out their horses and went straight to the North camp.

However, Wang Tiehan's journey to Beidaying was not smooth, first he was blocked in Da Nan Mén, where the police had closed the city of Mén, and then caught up with someone near Da Nan Mén who shot and made Húnluàn, and the police squad leader with the key to the city led people to search for the person who made Húnluàn, but he couldn't find it for a while.

When the guards finally found the police squad leader and retrieved the key, they had just left the Great South Mén, just in time for the Japanese army to start attacking the South Market, and the police of the South Market, Jiāo, caught fire and blocked the way. ,

Wang Tiehan had no choice but to retreat back into the city and turn to Dadong Mén.

At Dadong Mén, Wang Tiehan tossed around again because of the opening of the city.

After leaving the city from Dadong, Wang Tiehan was finally able to make a detour to Beidaying. However, at this time, the Beida camp was already in flames, and the gunfire was endless.

Wang Tiehan, who was in a hurry, judging from the position where the gunshots rang out, should have been the Japanese army was about to rush to the position of the brigade headquarters, and it was too late to go to the brigade headquarters to ask for instructions first, so he had to go straight to the east mén, where his 620th regiment lived in the east mén.

As soon as Wang Tiehan entered Dongmén, the soldiers standing guard in the 620th Regiment shouted in trembling voices: "The regiment commander is back, the regiment commander is back."

Wang Tiehan didn't care much, urged the horse to go straight to the regimental headquarters, and only then suddenly grabbed the reins in front of the regimental headquarters.

Because the horse was too fast and stopped very quickly, Wang Tiehan's war horse neighed and raised its front hooves high, and only stopped after half a circle.

Wang Tiehan jumped off his horse, and Jiang Mingwen, the captain of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment, who was already waiting in front of the regimental headquarters, Li Shugui, the captain of the non-commissioned team, and many officers and soldiers immediately came up.

September 18, 1931 was the seventh day of the eighth month of the Xinwei year of the lunar calendar, and this day was precisely the day when the 7th Brigade stationed in Beidaying paid its salary in August.

On the morning of that day, after Jiang Mingwen received the check from the regiment headquarters, he took a military soldier to ride a bicycle to the silver number of the three eastern provinces of Dabei Mén to collect cash, and after returning to the company, he began to pay salaries in rows. Originally, this day was Jiang Mingwen's holiday, and he could go home to rest, but because the commander of their third battalion, Yu Tianzhong, was not there, Jiang Mingwen took the initiative to decide to stay and supervise the soldiers because he was worried that these paid soldiers might happily sneak out to get drunk and make trouble or gamble.

Li Shugui, the captain of the team, also concurrently served as the chief lecturer of the non-commissioned officer corps and was responsible for the assessment of officers, and the non-commissioned corps he managed was 200 literate soldiers of the whole brigade and military doctors and quartermasters obtained from the Northeast Security General Headquarters. The opening ceremony of the 400-strong training class was scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on September 19 for the opening ceremony of about 400 students, inviting performance groups and handing out invitations. So I didn't go home either......
