Chapter 27 1. Overview of Volunteer Resistance

The name of the Volunteer Army originated from Huang Xiansheng, a famous general of the Northeast Army. Before the "September 18th" incident, he had already made certain contingency preparations in the Northeast public security system by using his advantage in charge of the police affairs in Liaoning Province.When the regular army was not supported in the war of resistance, Huang Xiansheng organized a local volunteer army to resist the Japanese attack before the fall of Jinzhou, and encouraged the officials and people in the Northeast to spontaneously launch an anti-Japanese war in this name.After the regular army of the Northeast Army withdrew, the Volunteer Army became the main force to fight against the Japanese army, and spread all over the Northeast, forming hundreds of thousands of troops of different systems.Among these troops are the Jagged Army organized by Deng Tiemei and Miao Kexiu in southern Liaoning, the Liaoning People's Self-Defense Anti-Japanese Army organized by Tang Juwu in Tonghua, the Liaoxi Volunteer Army organized by Zhang Haitian and Gao Zhenpeng in Western Liaoning, and the National Salvation Army organized by Wang Delin in Jilin. , including former Northeast Army units such as Ma Zhanshan and Li Du who were transformed into volunteers.

The Volunteer Army not only organized resistance to the Japanese army in various places, but also planned and implemented counterattacks on various strategic points in the Northeast, such as Shenyang, Qiqihar, Harbin and other places.The situation was once in full swing. After 1933, as the Japanese army strengthened and deliberately cut off the connection between the Volunteer Army and Guannei, the Volunteer Army suffered a shortage of food and ammunition, and was in a difficult situation.Volunteers from all walks of life fought independently, lacked a unified command, and were defeated individually. They gradually became unable to withstand the Japanese attack. The problem of their loose organization was also exposed. Some personnel surrendered or disbanded, and some personnel retreated into the pass. After 1933, its position in the resistance force gradually gave way to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
