Chapter 36 9. Zhuang He - Major General of the Japanese Army Hacked to Death by the President of the National Institute of Metrology

The National Institute of Metrology of China, established in 1955, is affiliated to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Metrology bases, standards and tasks related to precision measurement techniques for research. Since the establishment of the institute, 302 national measurement benchmarks and standards have been established, forming the main body and core of the national foundation and standard system, and making important contributions to ensuring the unification of national measurement values... In a book about the Anti-Japanese War, such a description will definitely make readers feel weird.Does this have anything to do with the War of Resistance Against Japan?

It seems that I can't get in touch, but what if the dean of the China Institute of Metrology is an anti-Japanese hero?For example, what if the head of a Japanese major general was chopped off? As soon as this remark comes out, it is estimated that it will attract a lot of bombardment-the president of the China Institute of Metrology chopped off the head of a Japanese general?is it possible?It's not professional either. However, the Institute of Metrology really has a dean who has done such a thing. On December 16, 1932, a Japanese commander named Hideki Mori was beheaded by a Chinese named Ju Renqing during a battle in Zhuanghe, Liaoning.This Ju Renqing, who later changed his name to Ju Kangjie, served as the president and secretary of the party committee of the China Institute of Metrology in 1975, and later served as the chairman of the China Society of Metrology and Testing.

Seeing this, it is estimated that many people will ask two questions: First, was President Ju the National Army or the Communist Army?Second, how could this Hideki Mori come to Zhuanghe to have Dean Ju cut off his head? Let me answer one question after another. First, let’s talk about the identity of Dean Ju Kangjie in that battle.Speaking of which, Dean Ju has a good background. He is a graduate of Fengtian (now Shenyang) Higher Police Academy. However, when he was fighting in Zhuanghe, he was neither a member of the Communist Party nor a member of the Kuomintang. The Volunteer Army of the Eight Classics is very reluctant.Ju Kangjie, the chief of staff of the "Lianzhuang Self-Defense Regiment", has a very strange armed force under him, that is, the Broadsword Society, which is often classified as a reactionary society by us.

The Big Sword Club is a folk martial arts group founded by the White Lotus Sect.Also known as golden bell jar.It got its name because its members carried big swords when practicing martial arts (there is also a saying that they got their name when they put a big sword horizontally in the field when they practiced martial arts). To some extent, the Boxers can be regarded as a branch of the Big Sword Society. Qing Fuming"!However, after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the Broadsword Society basically became an armed force of the nature of self-defense among the people.Especially during the fall of the Northeast, many local armed forces such as the Broad Sword Society and the Red Spear Society became anti-Japanese forces with the support of simple patriotic feelings and the idea of ​​protecting the environment and the people.Zhuanghe's Broadsword Club is such a team.

After the "September 18th" Incident, the Japanese army attacked Zhuanghe from Andong via Dagu Mountain in September 1931 and occupied Zhuanghe County. In 1932, the Zhuanghe Broadsword Association raised their flags to fight against Japan, and won the support of the people.By the end of the same year, the Daohui had grown to more than 3,000 members, controlling half of the county. After the "September 18th" incident, Ju Kangjie returned to Zhuanghe after several twists and turns, and organized and established the Qiujiagou Group of the Broadsword Society.He donated dozens of grains from his family and thousands of yuan for the activities of the Daohui, and invited more than ten Shandong martial arts masters from Dalian to teach martial arts in the department, and his prestige gradually increased.In the autumn of that year, the Broadsword Associations of the villages in Zhuanghe established the "Lianzhuang Self-Defense Regiment", and he was elected as the chief of staff.

It was precisely because of Ju Kangjie and their big sword association that the turmoil was in full swing, which attracted the unlucky Japanese general Hideki Mori. In mid-December 1932, the commander of the Kwantung Army Nobuyoshi Muto sent the Jing'an Army to Zhuanghe to "encircle and suppress" the Broadsword Association, led by Hideki Mori. According to the information provided by the database of old Japanese soldiers, Mori Hideki graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy in 1905. In 1930, he was promoted to cavalry commander and served as the commander of the thirteenth guerrilla regiment of the Jing'an Army of the Puppet Manchukuo Army. Promoted to the rank of major general.

Since Mori Hideki came to fight the Big Sword Society, how could the hunter be killed by the prey instead? It turned out that on the way to Zhuanghe led by Hideki Mori, he stayed overnight on December 15 in a Tuchengzi village with only a few dozen families.This information was intercepted by Ju Kangjie's confidant, Lou Zijing, the head of the Qiujiagou Regiment of the Broadsword Society. Upon hearing the news, Ju Kangjie immediately ordered all the regiments to rush to Tuchengzi to surround him. Thousands of people armed with swords and spears surrounded Tucheng Zitun without anyone noticing, and suddenly launched an attack on the sleeping Mori Hideki at night.

For Mori Hideki, what was even more terrible was that he actually divided his troops during the march, which was a big taboo for military strategists.The main force of his regiment went straight to Zhuanghe County, but he himself had only more than 160 cavalry on his way, most of them were puppet troops, and their fighting will was not strong. As a result, after the battle broke out, the puppet troops got on their horses and fled one after another. The Broadsword Club attacked Kou Fuchang's compound, the headquarters of Kou Fuchang, the commander of the Jing'an guerrilla regiment of the Japanese West Road Crusade Team. Guns and ammunition and horses won the battle.Mori Hideki himself originally lived in the home of the villager Tanaka Chen. He fought while trying to break out of the siege in a hurry, but was separated from the fleeing enemy by members of the Broadsword Society.Mori Hideki was stabbed in the buttocks with a spear by Zheng Yi, a member of the Broadsword Association, when he tried to escape over the wall, and was then shown to the public by Ju Kangjiexiao who stepped forward in person.

Mori Hideki should be regarded as the first general-level officer killed in the Northeast after the "September 18th" Incident of the Japanese army. After this battle, the Japanese army carried out a bloody revenge on the Zhuanghe Broadsword Society. By February and March 1933, the members of the Broadsword Society gradually dispersed, and Lou Zijing and others were killed in battle.Ju Kangjie was forced to enter the customs, and once served as the education director of the Hebei Provincial Police Academy. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1938, and then worked in the Taiyue base area of ​​Taihang Mountain.Judging from the time when the flags and weapons in the title picture were captured by the Japanese army, they should have been obtained from the congregation of the Shokawa Broadsword Society during the Japanese army’s retaliation campaign, and they may have been used in the battle against Mori Hideki’s troops.

It is worth mentioning that the process of Mori Hideki being killed was a bit weird. His military uniform was chopped off in many places but he was not injured. He fell down and was beheaded by Ju Kangjie.It was later discovered that he was actually wearing a layer of "armor" in his clothes. The use of armor in wars in the 20th century is unimaginable. In fact, this is about the first generation of "bulletproof clothing" used by the Japanese army. After the "September 18th" incident, Japan's "Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd." in the northeast once produced a batch of steel equipment similar to tortoise shells, which were used by company personnel participating in the war, and later also supplied to the Japanese army.This kind of "bulletproof clothing" is actually not bulletproof, but it can resist cold weapons and shrapnel. The Japanese army has used it on the Northeast battlefield and the Songhu battlefield. Our army has also recorded many records of this strange equipment of the Japanese army during the battle. .

Speaking of which, Mori Hideki was not cut down by the big sword because he was wearing this kind of bulletproof clothing. Those Jing'an army subordinates who could keep up with him escaped together. This Japanese general is really an unlucky guy.
